Some folks get up two hours earlier
in the morning so that they will

Herm Haislett of the ST. James In
dependent and Joe Reynolds of the
Mankato Free Press have worked up
an argument about something OF
other. Help! We all need it when
these two boys roll up their sleeves
and go to it.

she liked the new electric range and
the girl replied-"Just fine, it hasn't
been out in all the three weeks I have
been here"

Duluth is just now getting ready
to rake the dead leaves from in
among its hedge rows-a little mat

good for your own business and quite
another thing to be enthusiastic
about the things that are going to

There is an old saying that every
human being is expected, during his
lifetime, to eat his peck of dirt. But
is there such great hurry about it
that we need to eat the whole thing
in the spring of 1926? That is one
