Let's be neighborly and let those town on No.
I have their paving if they can get it. Then
maybe they'll help us get No. paved. We'd
like to see some of the North and South roads
get the attention they deserve-and which the
travel on them warrants.

Pages and whole reams have been written
about the beauties of Minnesota but it took Bob
Forrest to unwind his Scotch and say it all in
a single sentence. Bob returned just the other
day from trip through the northern Minnesota
section and he wrote, Minnesota is bonny,
bonny state to look on, the moo"

eff you a bloodhound Fair
mont doesn't want you, and isn't going
to keep you except inside bolts and
bars. Put that down in your little
book "-Fairmont Sentinel.
Judging from recent happenings down in
Martin County, poor old Fairmont is going to
go bankrupt buying bolts and bars.

1t is no secret that our President
has no time for the farmer. We can
refer you to dozen reliable men who
farmers cause.-Fairmont Sentinel.
The editor of the Fairmont Sentinel knows
that that statement is untrue. Attaches of
President Coolidge should make him either prove
that speak derisively" clause or retract it. 1t
is unthnkable that any thinking person would
make such wild remark-and the discourtesy
of it cannot be measured.

l.. l. Al,
boosting and advertising for town while the
others sit back and attempt to cash in on this
publicity is one example of "sponging" The
work of the few brings trade into town and the
shoppers are bound to spend some money with
those who are simply riding along. But it is
far from being public spirited. A town will new
er prosper until every merchant is doing his
part to attract people to the town to trade and
do their business and every business is working
to extend the trade circle as far out as possible

Recently state bank in Mapleton was clos
ed, and the cause of its closing lay largely in
the idle gossip spread about the community
about the resources of the bank. After it had
closed the Mapleton Enterprise editorially said:
"The spoken word is hard to recall; it is like the
shot from the cannon; no one knows exactly
where it will strike and in this instance many
will suffer from their own needless talk. There
will be many losses besides those whose names
now upon the deposit ledger. Those owing
the bank will be compelled to settle up at once
instead of being given time in which to adjust
affairs. 1t will mean forced sales and with
holding of credits that might otherwise be ex-
tended"

Mrs. Calvin Coolidge is doing her
own homework at the summer white
house-and is enjoying herself at the
task-Mankato Free Press.
Slush! We wonder if the editor of the Man
kato Fress Press knows what "doing her own
really means. 1t means getting up
to prepare breakfast for the family and going
right on doing things for said family until the
last dish towel is hung to dry after the dinner
dishes at might. Of course Mrs. Coolidge is do
ing no such thng-in fact we would marvel if
she were even planning" the presidents three
meals a day. If she were doing all this she
wouldn't be enjoying it. The Free Press man is
just trying to make homework more popular,
probably with his own domestic menage in mind.

The Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch gives the
common sense view of the take-a-train-
off propositions:
'The railroad claims they can make
a saving of more than $4,000 annually
by disseminating these two trains. The
claim is granted. If they could cut the
schedule down to train or two a week
and yet retain the only railroad
means of public conveyance into these
cities and villages they could make
bigger saving yet.
"But what of the service and accom-
mediation that the people along this
line have a right to expect? Are they
to be given but one opportunity every
twenty-four hours to get in or out Of
their villages?"
The towns most vitality interested in this
matter are Morgan and Evan which are depend
ent solely upon this road for all railroad service
The Redwood Falls situation is slightly different
because of the other road in here, but the TAX
ing off of the train would seriously menace some
of the local enterprises which depend upon
this road for certain services not possible over
the other line. If the C. & N. w. r. r. could
show deficit from the operation of the train
the situation would be slightly different. But all
it can show is that it would be able to save
money in case the trains were removed Most
