King Ferdinand of Rumania left his wife
only $4,000 year and she says she is absol-

she made on her visit to the United States will
probably start soon to take up collection for
her.

One of our good friends tells us that
many of the girls have excellent excuses
for going swimming. LIE Fren-

Well, Tony, at least each of them has per-
feet right-or she wouldn't be going!

For the sake of hay fever victims get out
and cut the weeds Cut them anyway even if
you haven't any mercy on the sneezers. Rank
weeds look like thunder and detract both attrac-
tiveness and value from your farmlands. Be-
sides there is state law about this very thing.

If congress only had more men like Frank
Clague occupying the seats of the mighty the
farming communities could rest assured the farm
relief legislation would be pushed through over

Once in while the government is guilty of
queer things. The queerest recently noted by
US is that New York City bootleggers paid in
come taxes on five millions of dollars profits
last year. And the government took this tax
from an Legitimate business. Incidentally the
bootleggers were not prosecuted for the guilt
confessed on their income reports Ours is
complex civilization indeed.

Harry Lauder announces another farewell
tour of the United States, preparing to descend
upon the first of next year. Somehow those
OF US to whom Harry made big appeal in our
youth would like to remember him as he was
then, before his voice grew husky, his knees too
stiff to do the Highland Fling with real dash
and when his wit was suited to the generation

Olivia was favored this week by
visit from United States Senator Thos.
D. Schall and his devoted little wife.
the Monday luncheon where the senator
delivered a characteristic Tom Schall
address. Whatever may have been the
club members impression of the sena-
tors address, all are agreed that his
good wife, through whose eyes Tom is
made to see and by whose care and at
tention and devotion he is enabled to
overcome his great handicap, is entitled
to the admiration of all parties and
classes is worthy to be known as
Americas Uncrowned Queen.-Olvia

All of which is true. How unfortunate that
Mrs. Schall isn't the Senator!

There are lot of funny things in this here
old world of ours One of the funniest of them
was the "good crop" splurge which recently
spread itself all the front pages of the Twin
City papers Not that the papers knew much
of anything about the crop conditions, but good
crop story was timely, it being a dull season in
the world of news, SO they played it up plenty
strong. Maybe in that way they hoped to over
come the impression they gave the farmers of
the Midwest when they urged the president to
veto the McNary- Haugen bill. Anyway the pa
pers made themselves appear a bit silly by laud-
wants to make depressingly untrue reports of
poor crops but there is little good and possibly
much harm to be done by advertising as Bump
err" crop that is considerably below normal.

Six merchants of this city lost $40
each in cash or merchandise to
slicker who visited their stores dur
ing the rush hours Saturday evening,
posing as . farm hand who wished to
cash check given him by his en-
ployer Other nearby towns report
similar losses.
His method was clever and would
undoubtedly have fleeced the rest Of
us had we been given the opportunity
i to be fleeced 1t was our good for
tune that he did not see us.
The incident brings to rs again
the thought that checks should never
be cashed for unidentified strangers
No honest man expects his check to
be taken by strangers until he has
proved his identity. The only safe
plan is to turn down such people
