The Ivanhoe Times defines an income as "a
small sum of money entirely surrounded by
taxes"
Of course the snow isn't really to blame be-
cause it fell on your front walk-it really had to
fall somewhere. But so far as we can see that is
no alibi for your leaving it there.

Now that the Thanksgiving turkey has been
consumed, and paid for supposedly it is time
for the foresighted to turn their eyes to the lit
tie matter of Christmas shopping. Let's see
how many more shopping days are there?

Ted Christensen has made big hit all over
Minnesota by his appointment of Attorney Laur-
isch of Mankato to take the place of Ivan Bowen
on the railway and warehouse commission. Even
the cronic kickers seem pleased, as they well may
be.

| The Pioneer Press calls our attention to the
fact that when we buy something for 'song'
it is we'll to remember that there songs with
out words but none without notes. A rottenish
sort of pun but it points moral for him Tor
herD is inclined to buy things today and pay to-

Larry Hodgson, Jr. writing his clever week
ly column for the Slayton Herald, says, "The
limit of optimism is young fellow who flunks
out of college in his freshman year and who
gets married, hoping he'll make better go of
it next time"
This is a fast age! No sooner does the
great American public get to thorough under
standing of what Coolidge meant when he said,
81 do not choose to rum" than he plunges them
into mystery again with his 81 am going to Yer
mont and white" It's no fair rushing the hui
man mind in that way.

Rudolph Lee has carefully figured out that
the M. E. A. convention cost the taxpayers of the
state 100000. But in order to find the NET
COST Rudolph must deduct the amount Of money
the teachers spent in the Twin Cities-that is the
place that profited at the expense of the rest
of the state.

Twelve thousand turkeys were shipped into
Minneapolis by parcel post just before Thanks
morning of that day by Special Delivery. This
would seem to indicate that the middleman has
received an awful wallop and the turkeys are
now going straight from the farmyard to the
consumers table, With turkey selling in one
of the best of the downtown markets at from
SIS to 60 cents the pound, it would appear that
both the raiser and the consumer may profit
by the more direct route.

There was little interest shown in
Education Week. The week stunt has
been over done, and the ridcule heap
ed on it has smothered the good weeks
along with the weak weeks.-Lud Roe.
! 1t really is too bad to see any of these really
good causes go by default. Still and perhaps,
these weeks getting so blamed numerous
that killing off any and all of them may be a
blessing in disguise.

Melvin T. Taylor sounds more like minis
ter a philosopher than like the president of
the American Bankers Association when he says
What this country needs, individually and as a
people, is a genuine revival of tolerance, fresh
baptism of faith-tolerance for the views and
acts of others belief in something beyond our
selves and faith in the destiny of life" Grove
Patterson adds to that this comment, Examine
yourself. If you narrow, bgoted, intolerant
you may be sure that all your other qualfica-
lions are much junk" That is all of our ser
mon for today.

Down in Colorado farmers grow
| rich raising sugar beets on $500 and
$4O0 an acre land, for the irrigation of
which they pay the water barons fam
cy prices whether they need the water
! or not If this situation can obtain in
Colorado, think what could be done in
raising sugar beets in Rock county, with
expense of irrigation unnecessary
"Mabe" Moreaux.
| 1t can be done anywhere in Minnesota where
farm crops can be raised, of course-and it will
be done quicker and be bigger financial sue
cess if Minnesota women will ask for beet sugar
! instead of insisting upon cane sugar. That i:
something for Minnesota housewives to thinl
about.
