OF our bills is that we let them do all the run

Isn't it queer that home, the place where we
are treated the best is also the place where we
grumble the most.
If man can't smile he is built wrong; but
if he CAN smile and WONT-well, best to keep
away from him.

Things one should keep include tempers,
sunny dispositions, secrets and hair. The things
not to keep include grudes ugly dogs, late
hours and borrowed books.

They're pickin' up the pieces
With dustpan and rake,

When he oughta used his brake.

statistician busly reports that men ate
one-third of all the candy manufactured in
America last year. Then why should they be
so peeved because the women insist on much
smaller proportion of the cigarettes

Another Minnesota newspaper, the
Mobiles County Times, at Worthington,
has hearkened to the siren song of the
contest manager.-Brown County Jour-
nal.
God help em!
At recent examination over in Ontario a

States" -Baudette Region.

"Should The Woman Pursue" asks Mrs. j.
Boardman Hartman in a Harpers Magazine
article. We haven't read the article through
which Mrs. Hartman answers herself, but we
suspect when she gets all through what she has
said amounts to at doesn't really matter if the
dear creature SHOULD or not: she just DOES!"

The only kid in the world which we really
dislike is the kid who always keeps few fire
crackers from the July Fourth supply and bangs
them off at unexpected times and places until
gets quite jumpy about it. Maybe America
is all together right in teaching her youth that
noise is the symbol of patriotism, and then again
maybe she isn't.

The Dow Printing Company, of st. Paul,
has brought suit against the Rice County Board
of Commissioners for a large bill for goods
which, the board claims, the county never
ceived. The board has never had any trouble
with their local printers overcharging, want
ing to collect for something not delivered. Which
should be good hint for future operations

One of our exchanges-we believe it was the
Grand Rapids independents makes the follow
ing timely and sensible suggestion.
Folks can deal a body blow to two
of mans worst enemies, the house fly
and the rat, by having garbage cans in
which to dump table scraps and other
perishable refuse, tin cans, etc. The fly
is carrier of disease, menace to
health, creature that will carry direct
ly to you your loved ones the most
dreaded of diseases. The rat, ALSO lives
in filth on food that it finds in putrid
garbage piles. Garbage, decaying food,
etc., are the breeding places of flies and
they are the delight of rats Why not,
then, deal these pests a body blow by
keeping from them the offal in which
they thrive? A garbage can costs
little, and it is not expensive to have it
dumped if one does not care to do it
himself. Let's provide garbage cans,
keep garbage in them instead of throw
ing it out in the back yard, and help
abate the fly and rat nuisances."

Editor j. v. Weber of the Slayton Herald
got all het up the other day and wrote this:
ain the last week or two in Mime
apols several crimes have resulted from
the practice of "mashing," one of them
being murder. 1t is high time that
decent public sentiment put an end to
the filthy rats who stand on street cor
ners and make remarks to women as
they pass. Of all the contemplate ours
that infest the world, the "masher" is
the most utterly loathesome. Without
any self-respect, he naturally has no re-
spect for womenhood. Wives and moth
ers cannot walk the streets of cities
without overhearing vulgar remarks adj
dressed to them by the cheap male har-
pies who indecencies constitute re-
proach to civilization. These men, most
of them Well-dressed, are intelligent
