aid says that an expert is somebody
who doesn't live in your own town.
That's good horse sense (and prob
! ably the result of stable thinking" on
Carl's part). It's always the fellow
who comes from outside who knows
the most and can do the best-and
incidentally expert service given
by the outsider~is the most expensive
service in the world. Each town

them might mean any number OF
things.

/ Judge j E. Haycraft has filed as
a candidate to succeed himself as
Judge of the 18th judicial district, an
office in which he has been serving
since his appointment by Governor
Christianson last May. The Judge
is hard worker, conscientious IN
the fullfillment of his duty and fear
less in his handling Of criminals. 1t
IS well for the law enforcement pro-
| gram of Minnesota that he will stay
on in the work. 1t is doubtful if any
other judge in Minnesota has done
better bit of enforcing of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment than has Judge
Haycraft in the year that he has been
on the bench.

We have never met Judge Haycraft
but since stepping into his office he
has done some things that mark him
as a man who is not afraid to put
some of his good ideals into practice.
In his dealings with liquor law vio-
| lators he has been stern and relent-
less, taking the stand that the prohi-
| bition statutes are just as much a
part of the law of our land as are the
various other prohibitory laws. In
his district he has recently incorporat-
| ed another wise custom in his rules
of court procedure. He has dictated
that in all cases of bastardy or earn
al knowledge over which he presides
the public will be barred from the
court room.-Cottonwo County
| Citizen.

The success of the Redwood Falls
| Fiddlers' Contest is assured! The
very first entrant was "Kim" Glassco
who has his Strad tuned up and is
just rarin' to go. The northwest has
no better fiddler than Mr.. Glass
co and this contest will give his
townsmen the opportunity to again
hear nina privilege they have not
enjoyed for some time past because
| of the excessive modesty of the
violinist. Mr.. Glassco admits he is
bit out of practice but by arising
early and getting in several hours a
day of extra work he hopes to be
able to carry off the Grand Champion
ship cup. We doubt if any other en-
try in the contest will attract so
much attention or cause so much COM
4 ment as has that of Mr.. Glassco.

| A dinner conference" was recent
| ly held at the Waldorf upon the in
vitation Of the Federal Council Of the
Church of Christ in America at which
were represented the theatre, bust
ness and education. The purpose of
this meeting was to bring about a
better understanding between church
and stage. For the first time in it's
history the Protestant church as an
organized body is holding out its
hand to the theatre. A movement
has been set on foot which it is hoped
will draw together, as never before,
the church and the theatre, one the
interpreter of religious life, the 9TH
err of secular life The exchange of
opinions resulted in the appointment
of a committee composed of many
leading churchmen, authors and act
ors, who will devise plan to be pres
ent at future meeting.

ago that great fight is being made
on a certain candidate for state
office in Ohio on the ground that most
of the implements on his farm and
the clothing worn by his family came
from mail-order houses. Now mer
chants of his nearest town are COM

his catalogue-buying record. And if
