FIERY JIM REED IN ACCORD WITH
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE

For once at least President Coolidge and
James Reed, the fire eating Democratic Senator of
Missouri are in accord.
In vetoing the McNary -Haugen farm relief bill
at the last session the President referred to the
equalization fee of the principal sections of
the bill to which he objected.
Senator Reed in discussing the bill in Wash
ington few days ago said the equalization fee
the cornerstone of the bill-would "cause riot"
He insisted that when the farmers fully understood
the full purpose of the measure they would not
enjoy giving up part of the price received for
wheat to be sent to Washington and expended by
a board of 13 as they saw fit. He claimed the
equalization fee was neither constitutional or
right" In view of the fact that Mr.. Reed is gen
orally recognized as possessing one of the ablest
legal minds in the country, it would appear that
President Cooldge's contention that it was uncon-
stitutional, had some merit.
Senator Reed is Ia staunch friend of improv-
ing river transportation and believes that its full
development will do much to solve farm relief.
1t isn't a far stretch of imagination to state
that Jim Reed is Democracy's best bet as the nom-
nee for President in 1925

Ex.sERyICE MEN HAVE A DUTY

The authentic news of the signing of the
Armistice was received in Sank Centre early Mon
day morning. Nov. II, 1919.
After the fiasco which threw the entire world
into frenzied turmoil the Thursday proceeding
when the false report spread like wild fire tnat
fighting had ceased many were skeptlcal as to the
truthfulness of the claim of Nov II. The correct
report was received in Minneapolis shortly after
l 100 A. M, Monday. Shortly before two O'Clock
the Herald editor received telephone call con-
veying the news to this city, from the late Miss
Dummert who was at the time telephone operator
at the Radison hotel
Robert Swift Post, American Legion, Of this
city, has made ample preparation for the ob-
servance of the ninth anniversary of the signing
of the Armistice tomorrow.
Mayor L. W.. Whitson has issued a proclama-
ton published elsewhere in the Herald, calling upon
the business men to close their business at l:OO
z. M, for the balance of the day. The Herald
hopes the request will be generally complied With
Armistice Day means much to the ex-SerVlce
man. It is his day of days. Sank Centre and It's
environs sent something like 240 into the various
branches of military service yet it is hard for the
American Legion, which has taken over the spon-
soring of the proper observance of Memorial and
Armistice Days, to muster handful OF former vet
Grams to take part, much less attend the patriotic
service in this city.
The Herald believes it is not only duty but
should he the privilege of the Service man 10 pay
homage to his fallen comrades on Armlstlce Day.
The Herald does not wish ito infer that they are
not patriotic or good citizens but that they are care
less about laying aside the daily cares OF life TOR
this one day as thanksgiving they Were not called
upon to make the supreme sacrifice.

SMALL TOWN STUFF
Minneapolis Journal

Minneapolis journal
The Importance of Installing in the child's
mind a spirit of loyalty to his own home town, no
matter how small it may be, was stressed by DIR.
Edward A. Steiner, of Grinnen College, when he
spoke recently to the Northwest Iowa Teachers AS
ISOLATION, at Sioux City.
We are glad to see somebody swinging a cudgel
in defense of the small town. 1t is high time. The
sneers of the vaudevilians, the jokesmiths on the
humorous periodicals. the Menckens and Nathans
and Sinclair Lewses, the professional smart alexis
and urban wisecrackers generally have all, of late
years, had tendency to make the youngster lit
tie ashamed of his home town.
If he believes all he hears and reads, he is likely
to reach maturity with sneaking idea that there is
something shameful about being born and reared in
a community where citizens go to bed of nights,
and to church on Sunday.
So when he travels from Gopher Prairie Min
nesota to Chicago tie is tempted to register as from
Minneapolis; and when he goes on to New York, ne
is tempted to discard Minneapolis and say he is
from Chicago. When, and if, he reaches Europe,
he is from New York
But why? Why not from Gopher Prairie, and
proud of it, wherever he goes? What is there to be
ashamed of in "small town stuff?
Small town stuff! The stuff of nearly all our
Presidents, nearly all our Senators and Supreme
Court Justices nearly all of important writers
and painters and sculptors and musicians, present
or past. The stuff of nearly every big name IN
New York or Chicago today.
So why not be proud, rather than embarrassed,
by the fact of small town birth or rearing

full legislation. He is in very much the same con-
diton that the late Congressman Charles Lindbergh
found himself during the greater, part of his
Congressional career. This country is a
government by parties. MIR. Shipstead does not
claim to be Republican, and the Herald cannot
see where he has any claim upon the Republican
voters of Minnesota. This State is naturally alb
normally Republican. Next year will be national
year, and it is not wild guess to predict that the
Republican candidate for President will carry the
state by majority of 100000 to 100000 and
up. 1t will take mighty weak candidate for the
United States Senate to be far enough behind the
National ticket after the votes counted to be
defeated. Certainly Gov. Christianson has nothing
to fear from the mythical growing popularity" of
Minnesotas Senior Senator.

WOMAN'S BEAUTY BILL

Washington, D. c., Nov. s.-The Womans
Bureau of the Federal Department of Labor finds
that the annual cost of preserving beauty to the
American woman exceeds the war debts owned by
a half dozen countries to the United States The
female of the species is far more costly than the
male in the amounts paid out to maintain their
beauty which is the pride of the American woman
and their male relatives. The statisticians find
that five million dollars day is paid in fees in the
beauty parlors of the country, and that the total
cost of eight and eighty runs to one and three
quarters billions of dollars every year. "The van
ity of the American woman" says the report, lis
making jnillionaires." The real monel in beauty
culture is to he made by owning shop or by man
ufacturing cosmetics.
Scoffers may howl in rage over the expendi-
ture of nearly $2OOO,O 100000 each year for the
Identification of wves sisters and sweethearts but
most of the males with good eyesight wall hold to
the opinion that the results justify the cost.

GOVERNOR HAS NOTHING TO
= WORRY ABOUT

There is positive danger in delay, and if
governor Christianson has it in mind to be-
come a candidate for United States senator
against Mr.. Shipstead he should get in action
before it is too late. With Senator Shipstead's
growing popularity there is the possibility that
the republicans will endorse him for the high
position, and thus force the governor TO run
for re-election-in effect, they will make up
the governors mind for him. There are few
republicans remaining, the radical kind, who
cannot hear Shipstead's name mentioned with
out thinking cuss words that wouldn't look
well in print, but the republicans of open mind
have come to look upon the senator as about
the right man in the right place, and it is
question of considerable political moment
whether Governor Christensen could edge him
out if the two came into political clash

hristanson should be alarmed at the "growins

ARTISTIC HAND STILLED

John Kernighan, lowly janitor of the Sank
Centre Public Schools for many years, has left his
impress upon the beauty of Sank Centre TO a
greater extent than any other citizen past pres
ent.
A lover of flowers, with artistic sense of the
beautiful, his plants and shrubbery on the Public
School grounds attracted favorable comment from
every visitor to the city.
Sank Centre has long been famous for the
beautiful grounds and we'll kept lawns in the res
idential section. John gladly gave of his time and
advice in assisting the citizens, and in many cases
it was his master touch that completed beautiful
effect.
Any man loving flowers and the outdoors as
John Kernighan loved them is bound to be good
citizen. The entire city mourns.

is often carried on the wood. The

the wood is not in danger in the

slight delay in taking out in
