Abe Martin says "Woodsheds an straps are
things o the past and today tn modern father
ticks his son by refusin' him tn can" We can't
figure out to our own satisfaction whether this
| is progression or retrogression but it is big
| saving on gas.

We don't mind seeing girls dress rather
scantily but when they appear the street look
ing as though they were escaping from burning
house at three A. NJ, we would say it is going
a bit too far.
A man may be perfectly good sport >about
suffering the penalty for a bit of bad judgment,
but he is never good sport enough to admit that
he was guilty of having said bad judgment. We
know 'em Women are so different!

Every home should have at least one COM
Portable char-and then someone should stay at
home long enough to sit in it and make it more
comfortable. N. B.; this is not advertisement
for furniture; it's a suggestion that everyone
should sometimes stay at home for minute or
two.
We have always most sincerely agreed with
this bit of philosophy handed the world by the
Cheerful Cherub.
"Oh, why are people cross to me,
To spoil my day and make me blue
I'm always nice to all of them
Who act the way want them to-"

We learn with something approaching amuse-
ment that Bobby Jones who holds three major
titles in golf is taking much needed rest at
his home" And here in our blind ignorance we
had always supposed that golf recreation.
Now find that it is something from which one
takes much needed rest. What a bore!

1t heats the world! When ever a St. Peter
newspaper or citizen mentions his home town
there is sure to be mention made of the fact
that that city has produced five governors. We
don't blame 'em! We'd brag too. We seldom
forget that we have had Secretary of State, a
Congressman and a few such. But FIVE gov
errors is awful lot for any one town to achieve.

We have always strenuously objected to the
professional reformer, so we were delighted the
other day to find that our much loved Thoreau
had the same dislike. In one of the best of His
good essays he wrote; eff l knew for certain
ty that a coming to my house with a
conscious design of doing me good, should run
for my life"

| "Who does your thinking" pertinently, in
quires Gunnar Bjornson in one of his editorials.
Well, we don't much care this kind of weather
who does it just so we don't have to do it our
selves-but if it's all the same to you Gunnar,
we'd little rather you did it for us than any
| ono e1s YOu think 1OnCer thouphts and also
broader ones than almost anybody else we know.

| Thieves recently visited the Helmuth Ha-
| gen farm, while the family was away, and
helped themselves to some two hundred chic
! kens. The chickens were of the Buff Orph-
ington type and would figure snug sum
the market. Belview Independent.
Just supposin' you were Helmuth. Wouldn't
you think fellow who would do this low down
trick had about five years in the state reforma-
tory coming to him?

Ernest R. Hand, proprietor of the amusement
park at Fairmont has deposited in the Fairmont
banks during the last six years practically $780,
900. That is sort of Handing" it in all right.
1t also shows that some body down in Frank Days
country is spending little money "just for
600 and Mr.. Hand looks toSmake it 100000 before
the season closes. Who said times are hard!

! Crown Princess Louise of Sweden says "If
could take home to my country one thing fo1
my people / should like to take youc labor saw
ing devices for the home" This is just one more
proof that, in spite of any grumbling they may
do, American women really the most for
tunate women in the world. Think of going to
Princess Louise country and trying to keep house
without all the electrical appliances, the highly
efficient washing and ironing machines and al
the rest Not for US!

r Slayton is having something of an epidemic of
punctured tires One farmer, after visit to
the Murray County CAPITOL found a nice new
shiny single nail in each of his four tires. An
} other young man drove his car up on the drive
} way of his parents home and in the morning its
two front tires each contained spike, driv-
en- in right up to the hilt. Any human being
who will pick on poor defenseless tires in that
way will send his grandmother to the poorhouse
or poison dog or steal ticks from baby's ice
cream Such person is the scummiest
scum of the earth. Besides all that, if he gets
caught he'll pay one grand big fine.
