Billy Noonan says "come across with dol
lar for Christmas Health seals and your shad-
will grow less" According to Billy's
theory if you come across with two your shad-
ow should increase. In these days of stream
lines" and svelte figures" we don't know whether
that is good propaganda to put forth or not.

Up in Billy Noonan's Baudette region they
had wedding the other day in which Frank
Gonshorowski and Miss Clara Wojchiekowski
married. Billy suggests that the young
couple is to be congratulated for reducing those
two jawbreakers to one. They would be doing
even greater good to humanity if they would
now proceed to have the family name changed to
something easy-say like Smith or something.

A Sleepy Eye man who claims to be wealth
er prophet of considerable reputation insists that
winter is not yet here to stay, that Minnesota IS
not to be cheated of her Indian summer and that
we shall yet have many fine days before we have
to turn on the heat for good Sounds alluring
but somehow we'd feel bit surer if he and the
Montevideo mule would get together on the mat
ter. When the mules coat says that Indian sum-
mer weather is still in the offng We'll believe
it is. But what's the judgement of mere man
against mules hide!

Our stenographer can't decide upon
which she would rather sea large COM
munity Christmas tree or a of small
er ones decorating the street during the
holiday season ?-Wnnebago Enterprise
Well if your Tillie the Toiler is up to date
on reforestation, conservation and kindred top
les she will vote for the big one and see the wis
dom of letting the little grow into timber
The usual number of towns going to go mad
over lining their streets with the small trees;
Winnebago may well set an example in the other
direction.

The other day at Rochester Dr. Will Mayo
simply set forth his ideas about the everything
soul of man and it's needs for faith bigger than
any faith in anything human. This keen man of
science made two statements full of significance
He said:

bedside of patient and do for that pa
tient what could not do, though had
done everything in my professional pow
err"
And again:
"No thinking reverent read
the Sermon on the Mount or the Life of
Christ without knowing that here is
truth"

The purchase of Christmas seals is an ex-
preston of the true Christmas spirit. 1t serves
the double purpose of Frightening the holiday
mail while at the same time bringing hope to
many who before the campaign against the
white plague was begun gave way to hopeless
ness and despair. The little penny seals have
for nineteen years provided revenue with which
the fight has been carried The death rate
from tuberculosis has been cut in half in that
time. That is record of achievement. Prac-
tically every person who sends Christmas mes
sage of any kind has assisted in this great fight
and achievement by the simple act of investing
few cents or perhaps few dollars in the
bright little stickers with the Merry Christmas
message. This year when the opportunity to
buy Christmas seals presents itself, respond
cheerfully Dawson Sentinel.
