Some of the newspaper boys are complain
ing bit about all the front page space which
the Metropolitan dailies are giving the tour of
Queen Marie. AS for US, we think it is a most
welcome relief from the sensational stuff these
papers in the habit of dishing out to their
READERS
In the cleaning, oh, my darling,
When the lights are dim and low,
That your face is powder painted,
How am /, sweetheart, to know?
Twice this month I've had to bundle
Every coat that possess
To the cleaners-won't you, darling
Love me more and powder less?

| No one could listen to Julius Schmahl speak
ing as he spoke at Wabasso last Thursday night
and not realize two things The first of these
is his great love and admiration for his native
| state of Minnesota. The second is his great
knowledge of the history, the geography and the
commercial requirements and prospects of that
State. Whatever the doughty julius may know
| or not know on other things he assuredly knows
| "his Minnesota"
| Rev. Roy L. Smith calls our attention to the
fact that Benjamin Franklin lived to be eighty
without knowing anything about calories Had
he known about them he would probably have
lived to be hundred, provided he didn't have
corresponding knowledge of moonshne, rapid
ly-driven automobiles and few of the other
things which hit the world about the same time
| that scientific knowledge of food values came
along. Franklin missed some thing both ways!

Julius A. Schnlahl is getting so perlite and
lgentee-why, its just amazing! The other night
at Wabasso, julius wanted smile for purposes
OF comparison and the one he finally brought out
was, "No more chance than rabbit chased by
an asbestos hound has to get through the hot
test portions of the raging Inferno" There have
been times when we have heard julius express
exactly the same idea in half as many words
and all of one syllable. 1t beats all what an i'm
provement the years bring to the thoughtful.

1t is becoming harder and harder for par
entsfto sdestep the good old job of being par
ents, There are people just everlastingly anx-
ious to spread the gospa of parental responsible
ity. The latest of these is DIR. A. j. Chesley of
the State Board of Health In statement at
Fairmont the other day Dr. Chesley made his
statment:
"Ten thousand lives are needless
ly sacrificed to diptheria in the United
States each year Ninety per cent of
these occur in children under five years
OF age. State statistics show that 1000
persons in Minnesota contract the dis
ease annually with resultant fatality
of approximately 200. More than Sc per
cent of these deaths of children under
five years of age. Deaths that could
have been avoided Modern science has
produced complete protection that is
too often shamelessly avoided"
Then he went on to say things about
la serum, which, if used in time would prevent
this waste of human life, and to say few caustic
things about the parents Who didn't that
this treatment given in time.

Mrs Reginald Vanderbilt was asked recent
lily if she intended living permanently in France
and she replied:
"Yes, for the next three years or so.
But that means I'll be over here lot of
the time, too. You see, when live
there 1 usually spend most of my time
over here and when l live over here I
usually spend most of my tima over
there ! hope you follow me-"
Mentally we don't follow the lady with any
thing like either speed or clarity. Physically
we'd follow her if we had as much money as she
has. But what very personal and unconven-
tional invitation she extends.

Jim Morrison, editor of the Morris paper,
along with bunch of other persons of the same
sex, is making much fuss because girls like to
take another girl two along with them when
they go to the barger shop. Jim, who is hum
dred years old, less, and bald where he
isn't grey, makes the following shy (and sly)
little comment: "We are getting more and more
tmid every day, but still able to go to a
barber shop without taking two three friends
along" Maybe Jim is that bold in this particu-
lar instance but, say girls, don't be buncoed by
him or any of the other newspaper boys who are
copying his little bit of smartness We saw Jim
come in to speak before meeting of club women
in his town recently and he brought all the mem
bers of his office force, including the devil the
minister of his church, the superintendent of
schools and six prominent citizens. Afraid
say, he was just naturally scared to death that
he might be the ONLY man in that bunch of
few hundred perfectly harmless women. Take
your friends along grls-the men all do it if they
have to step in to missionary tea some
thing like that
