of million dollars than he does of fifty cents.
We have Henry beaten. We don't think as
much. We like to think about something on
which we don't have to use our imagination too
strenuously.

One of the several long haired editors of
the Minneota Mascot lit his pipe and expounded
thus:
When the iconoclast delivers his Wig
orous attacks conventionalities, it is
well to remember that conformity to con-
vention in the minor matters may release
our energies for things of greater value.

"Your credit-character is worth more than
gold; keep it good" This sentence in an adj
vertisement which appeared in the Mapleton En-
Iterprise, inspired the editor to give this timely
tip: Credit is the faith man has in his fellow
men. 1t represents integrity, honor, honesty,
and is the foundation stone of character. This
is the season of the year when men who have
been given credit should go the limit in an en-
deavor to clean their slate and be prepared to
start the coming year with the old bills squar-
ed up. If a man cannot pay all his bills, he can
pay part of them. Pay the interest notes and
any part Of the principal if possible. Acts of
this kind far reaching in their Importance

We have wondered just why the Minneota
Mascot is so insistently and increasingly be-
coming better. Now we know! It's because the
youngest and the longest-haired of its several
brilliant editors has pipe called Baldur the
Beautiful And Baldur is the inspiration of all
this brillancy! We know it, because in the
TESTERS column of the Mascot the other day we
found this paragraph:
INSPIRATION
Sleep is upon us, we are dull from
lack of it and we have no suitable fodder
with which to feed Baldur. All looks
bad for us just now. What do you sug-
gest for Baldur?
Since we sat within smelling distance of
Baldur not SO many evenings ago we would sug-
gest, in response to this plaintive plea for help
that instead of fodder she be given a bath in
sulphuric acid or Lewis I've. She may be beauti-
full but she has other characteristics not SO con-
to one who does not know her intimate
