One good way to keep out of Jail is not to
take things too seriously.
"a new nation is being born in China"
writes an Eastern editor. So that's what is
causing all the fracas. 1t must be most lusty
infant and suffering from chronic colic..

There is one good thing about castles in
the air. They are up so nice and high that it
is quite convenient to put the foundations un-
der them. Incidentally they haven't much real
estate value until you do get those foundations
under them.
One nice thing about selling out at this
time of year-it gives the editor the hope that
after she is out of the office she can eat all the
green onions she likes without having her staff
look at her with hate in their eyes.

While we're blowing about our TO-
900 lakes and mess of scenic beauty
that is unmatched anywhere on earth, let
us not forget that Minnesota's greatest
talking point is her cattle on 10000 hills
and in many MISREPRESENTATION Ad-
vance-Standard
But having 10000 tourists also isn't going to
hurt the cows any, is it?

Do you remember-when the coun-
try storekeeper hesitated about buying
an automobile for fear the farming COM
munity would not trade with him Chi
cago Tribune.
No, we can't remember that, but we remem-
Der quite distinctly when the men running for
office in Redwood County left their new cars at
home and campaigned in old second hand Fords.

Waseca was visited by band of gypsies thea
other day and instead of the plug horses of the
older days there was a fleet of cars including
Pierce Arrow, Cadillac and several Bucks. The
mayor of Waseca wasn't bit impressed, however
he hustled them straight through town just as
though they had come in the more picturesque
veicles Of former times. Every town should have
some definite and very firm policy concerning
these people. And letting them linger longer
should be no part of that policy.

The city of Chicago is eight million
sheet and there is talk of saving money
by closing schools, etc. Well give
Chicago credit for one thing: they
blame the deficit on local expenses
where it belongs. In some places
deficit like that means that the people
will elect new congressman a new
governor.-Cottonwood County Citizen.
But is closing the schools the answer?

at will never be done!" But here it is
from the Mankato Free Press: "a number of
years ago, when automobiles were not so numer-
GUS as they now are, it was asserted that the
whole population of the United States might be
taken on ride at the same time. At that time,
however, it might have called for a little
crowding. Now, with more than 22,000,000 cars
registered, as just reported from Washington,
the American people could all go motoring in
comparative comfort for there is about one auto
mobile to every six persons, and good many
of the machines are buses and trucks which
could accommodate more than six passengers"

"The meat-eating alcohol-drinkers
have always been the thinkers and con-
querors-Greeks, Romans, French, Ger
MANS British. We are trying water
experiment here, but with bootleg whis-
ky to modify the results. Arthur Bris-
bane.
Does Mr. Brisbane mean to say that these
nations would not have produced these thinkers
had they not been meat-eatng, alcohol drink
ling? If so, where would he go for his proof,
mo other nation having ever been non-meat-eat-
ing and non-alcohol- drinking. We would hate
to think that what comes out of the head is de-
pendent upon what goes into the stomach. We
make SO bold as to disagree with the intrepid Mr..
Brisbane in his statement.

Now that the last home talent play is off the
boards we wish to make a remark or two rela-
tive to this form of entertainment. Amateur
theatricals are q mighty good thing for those
taking part and amusing things for those at
tending the finished product. But there is no
reason why a town the size of Redwood Falls
should run almost entirely to that form of en-
tertainment. 1t has been impossible the last
few years for a course of good entertainment
features by outside talent to pay OUT here
