There is no symptom that Lindbergh is 90
ing to lose that modesty which is so big part
of his charm. But how about his children and
grandchildren and great grandchildren? Unless
they are he is they will be apt, in the
way future generations have, to spoil perfectly
splendid thing by too much swagger. But think
what asset for future college fraternities!

The war and pre-war record of Lindbergh
was given big place by President Coolidge in
his address of welcome to the American Eagle
There was not single thing in that record to
indicate that the Minnesota boy had ever spent
very much of his time-in fact not any of it
in pool cheap dance halls And vet
we venture to say he will claim that he has had
huge sport out of life thus far.

Because Leach has been elected mayor of
Minneapolis for four terms the political prognos-
ticators announce him real force with which to
be reckoned. Said p. p must pin much faith to
that fourth term-the other three didn't help him
to cut very wide swath when he ventured out
into the state on vote quest. In our opinion
Leach had best stay right on being mayor and
leave bigger things for bigger men,

Asking for credit is only another
way OF asking for loans without interest
or security Yet, everybody's doing it
and getting away with it, and, as is to
be expected, lot of these unsecured
loans never paid.-A. O. Moreaux in
:. Luverne Herald. ,.~~ss--,.~~
Whom shall we blame, Mabe, you and and
the other fellow who ask for those loans or the
banker who wants them? We know Svhich is
the easiest and most satisfying but we doubt if
it is the more honest.

We noticed that one of the visiting Auxil-
iaries demonstrated model meeting at the re-
cent District convention held here and that said
demonstration was dandy. Now to conduct a
model meeting when every is on dress
parade is thing and to conduct it when the
chief knocker and the prize bucker are both out
for blood is something else again. Maybe the
Auxiliary has no members of such temperments
and tempers. But if not they don't need model
meetings. Any meeting with the right sort of
cooperative harmony is a model meeting even
though the presiding officer may be a regular
Dumb Dora about parliamentary procedure.
Any meeting without that sort of harmony is
dismal waste of time no matter how closely the
Order may follow ritual and rite.

| We heard one of the elders of the Presby-
terrain church say the other day, "We are hunting
for minister-not to take nor to fill DR.. Ross
place, but to preach in the Presbyterian church. y
Right in that sentence is gracious tribute to
the memory of this much loved mantle COM
plete recognition that one, no matter how
fine nor how splendid he may be, can come into
the church and find the place in its heart which
has been so long and so beautifully filled by the
fallen leader. The new man, whoever he may
be, will find loyalty,a cooperation and fine
appreciation. But he must earn his own place IL
the affections and esteem both of the church anc
the townspeople. The loneliness left by thu
passing of Dr. Ross is both intense and some
how sacred, his memory something to be long
treasured and his successor to be worthily chos
len. The community is with the membership Of
1.-THE church in its search for the right man for q
big place.

4 Among the things not to worry
about is the mythical saturation point
for motor cars Henry Ford says that

ent owner once in six years.
writer in the Electric Railway
Journal says:
4 'sNow there seems some basis for
4 thinking there is saturation point
4 Instead of one car there is, in many IN
i stances, a gasoline alley for each family.
4 Father has his limousine. Mother
1 has her coupe, Brother has his roadster
Il and sister her brougham, junior his
j fliver-and no one stays at home"
u But Brother Patterson quite forgot to men
ltion what is to be done with all the used cars
after they get past that stage where by n
stretch of the imagination are they longer rs
liable, The dump piles and junk heaps ere jus
