It's all over but the post mortems.

Today folks are most awfully busy excusing
themselves for not having voted yesterday.
Amt it the bunk!
An Eskimo, brought to New York on sight
seeing tour, described the American girl as
"onnanutziak." That leaves only "onna" and
"ziak' to be explained News.

After all man is just about as big as the
things that make him mad. Try that measure
on your acquaintance and see if it isn't pretty
correct.
Prince Nicholas of Rumania doesn't like silk
hats on himself others and he prefers visit
ing the flour mills in Minneapolis to attending
an elaborate welcome of his mothers party in
Saint Paul. There's hope for the old world yet!

Queen Marie put a cigarette in her mouth
at the close of a banquet the other night and
dozen milonaires jumped to strike her light.
Wonder if they will be as anxious to underwrite

causes. These, the woman maintains, are to-

THE CIRCLE
War begets Poverty;
Poverty-Peace.
Peace begets Plenty;
Then Riches increase.
Riches bring Pride;
And Pride is Wars ground.
War begets Poverty;
So goes the Round.

We quarrel with the second line. 1t has yet
to be proved to us that Poverty begets Peace.

We haven't been very strong for Gene Tun-
ney; just from the things we've heard about him
we haven't thought Gene and our unworthy self
would have much in common. But New York
reviewer of books writes that he heard most
scholarly drawing room comparison of Papinis
Life of Christ" and Buffers "The Way of All
Flesh,' and that the chap making this scholar
ly comparison" was introduced to him as Gene
Tunney. We don't care because we were given
no opportunity to see Tunney in his biggest
fight but we do crave an opportunity to hear
him discuss these two worth while books.

"When bride of two weeks elopes with an
other man and the husband worries about
getting his CO, back than he does the wife-well,
things don't seem to be just exactly right" says
club woman's publication of recent date. Not
exactly right of course, but is it any more wrong
to elope in an automobile than it was in the old

appropriated from her husbands corral? Is it
our times and our young people who are alone
to blame, or is it just the human nature which
is common to all the ages of the world?

It's most discouraging. Just when we begin
to think that if we found ourselves getting
uncomfortably fat it would be simple matter to
reduce by going on bread and water diet, we
put on three pounds. And more than that he says
that he is feeling physically fit and fine. One
more reducing theory smashed! Guess there's
really nothing for it but exercise. Down in In
diana four prisoners crawled through little
hole and escaped, and eighteen fat they
couldn't crawl through and didn't escape. An
other hope dashed-don't ever get yourself put
into Jail thinking you thus automatically re-
lieve yourself of the extra pounds.

After quoting Magnus Johnson's attack on
dishonest bankers in his speech at Bagley some
time ago, The Organized Farmer of Red Wing
adds: eff Magnus Johnson had been governor of
this state for the past ten years there would have
been less people who would have lost their saw
ings through dishonest bank officials" We
pass over the fact that the Organized Farmer
probably meant "fewer people" rather than
"less." The statement may be true to certain
extent. The temptation to dishonesty among
bank officials probably would have been pretty
well removed in Minnesota also, as it was in
