The Journal of the American Medical As
ISOLATION has finally announced that pie is not
bad for the health. Many Americans have been
waiting many years for that announcement. How
nice to have it come just before Thanksgiving!

Some of the names of that Michigan lineup

Here's a new one. rejected sutton sued for
$500 to reimburse him for the money spent in
his unsuccessful campaign and the jury gave it
to him. Sometimes, it appears, one makes money
by losing out!

For the first time in the history of the state

ences for participation in lynchings, man was
Georgia wishes to arouse her citizens to real
ization that the authorization of mob isn't suf-
ficient justification for the committing of

shock to the South.
One more county has seen the light The
St. Peter Herald announces that Ncollet County
is considering the erection of special building
on it's fair grounds for the use of the All Clubs.
Redwood County did that couple of years ago
and we make the conservative guess that no
building the fair grounds brings in greater
returns for the amount invested Every county
fair board should not only consent to the erection
of such building but should insist upon it.

For the second time Brown county has cap
tured the grand championship in the calf class
at the Junior Livestock show. Lydia Potter has
duplicated the record of Jos. Isaksen and brought
the honor to Brown county for the second time
Redwood county has captured two grand cham
pionships in the baby beef class and one in the
fat hog class This is remarkable showing
for Brown and Redwood. Even Frank Days
county of Martin can't show single
grand championship when it comes to fat live
stock. AS to lean politicians, however, Martin
is not so slow.-Springfield Advance.

vertable "derby hat fever" has
struck most of the high school boys in the
local school. Merchants here have drag
ged out from secluded corners all the
relics of the time when the "plug" was
the most popular in head-gear and the
boys present rather an amusing spect-
acle walking down the streets with der
bies at jaunty angles their heads.
-Mnneota Mascot.
If the high school boys in this town get such
a spasm are going to put a mortgage on the
Gazette plant and go to Florida until they have
a chance to recover Tor uncover.) We couldn't
stand it to see our handsome lads thus disfigur-

Arthur R. Rogers, the new president of Min
neapolis Civic and Commerce Association thinks
he has found out what is the matter with the
civic effort of his city. The trouble lies in there
being too many overlapping organizations too
much consequent duplication Of effort and too lit
tie cooperation" What's wrong with Minneapolis
is wrong with practically every other city in the
state regardless of its size or situation. II halt
the organizations in the world just had the cour-
age to oblterate themselves from the map and
to take hold of the work that the other organ
lZatlOnS dong, with the spirit OF true coop
Grafton, most of the civic problems in the world
might be solved inside of the next year. But
what organization has the courage to do that
the courage to admit that it is not needed, the
courage to say "Some other organization is do
ing this same work and doing it better than ours
can Instead of quarreling with this organiza-
ton about the best way of putting this work over
we'll forget our way and buckle down to helping
these other fellows put it across in their way"
Mr. Rogers is right. But when these faults
are overcome the millennium will be upon US.

With the completion of the paved road from
Belle Prairie to Brainard, which event was cele-
brated last Saturday, there is continuous paved
highway from Owatonna, Steele county, to the
Grow Wing county capital. The Importance of
this construction cannot be underestimate as
it furnishes a direct communication for the peo-
pie of Iowa to reach the very heart of Mime
sofas Ten Thousand Lakes region It will mean
that each year as the pavement progresses more
and more of the people of Iowa and states fur
Their south, will be coming to Minnesota to spend
their vacations They will stop all along the
way and bid them welcome; Faribault will have
them linger in that community to visit among
the lakes in that section, including Waterville
Elysian and Madison Lake. Then they will go
into our great metropolitan cities of Minneapo-
