The president of weighing machine re-
Gently opened up all his machines, took all the
pennies out and bought himself a beautiful
yacht, said to be one of the finest afloat. Seems
like penny is quite coin when you get enough
of it. Better wait for your two cents change
after this.

Now that milk from contented cows
has become standard article of Diet
why not start in developing eggs from
contented hens ?-Ex.
Come, come, let's be alterative if nothing
else Why not call them the "harmonizing
hens''

Lee Beecher, president of the Eagle Roller
Mills at New Ulm, went clear down to Chicago
to get case of mumps. Had Lee cared to come
to his old home town a month or two ago we
could have accommodated him at much less ex-
penditure of time and money. And we doubt
if the Chicago brand was any more swell than
was ours.
If NEWS is, as it's definers contend, every
thing which interests the public, the advertising
pages should be the "newsiest" of any page in
the paper. For after all what is there that in
terests the average public one-haf much as
the answer to the question where and how to
get the most for its money? When advertisers
come to fully realize all the possibilities in this
phase of advertising, newspapers will have to
begin to hang out the standing room only" sign.

There are several things to which the over
time parking law might be applied in addition to
automobiles. For instance why not have it ap-
plicable to the fellow who occupies the porch
swing for several hours at time to the fellow
who monopoizes the drinking fountain, to the
person who stays through both shows, to the
person who absorbs all the cool breezes from the
electric fan and to-oh, well, select your own
string of eligibles.
And Minnesota newspaper people and
also Farm Bureau people called upon to
mourn the death of good Ed. Lawless who had
been a country newspaper editor for twenty
years, and more recently the publicity man for
the Minnesota Farm Bureau. Mr.. Lawless was
among the fraternity's best, and added to his
abeness genial kindness and an uprightness
which made him well beloved. The death of his
beloved daughter several years ago was too
much for Mr.. Lawless' none too sturdy physical
condition and his health had been failing since
that time. For his grief stricken wife and son
the press of the State feels the keenest and sin
cerest sympathy. .-.-.-

A lot of Tommyrot is being printed
about young Lindbergh's Dad "The
Old Man" had plenty of nerve. That's
where the young fellow gets his. His
other qualities came from his mothers
side of the Observation-Disclosures Globe.
We've thought this ever since the news of
Lindbergh's feat came to US, but we haven't had
the crust to say it. We are glad Brother welles
has the necessary courage.

Mrs. Sinclair Lewis is one grand little ex-
palmer. She gives the following as her view of
why her husband writes his super-critical and
untrue novels.
sits his resentment-and just
resentment, / think-at the refusal of
people to see all the beauty and JOY that
can be had in the world that makes him
write as he does. I know of no man
who has more real sympathy with the
people of whom he writes, but there is
something of the reformer in him and
he tries desperately to show them where
they are overlooking the possibilities of
making life as happy and as beautiful
as it can be made"
In other words Sinclair is Furnishing us
naughty children for not loving the beautiful
by feeding US all that is unlovely. A queer sort
of philosophy that twists and comforts the face
of life until it is nothing but one horrid grim
ace. In another interview, Mrs. Lewis said that
eating too-ripe snails in France changed the
whole complexion of her husbands more recent
literary work. We really prefer to think it is
snails rather than too superlative love of the
beautiful which is troubling Sinclair-seems
saner so to think-somehow.
