Coolidge has apparently forgotten to remem-
Der that some votes are like Young Lochinvar in
that thew too "come out of the West Also the
Midwest.
Coolidge signed the Radio bill to "clear the
air." Signing the McNary- Haugen bill would
have done the same thing-only he didn't it
just that way.
Frank Murphy of Wheaton calls President
Coolidge's veto of the McNaryHaugen measure
IAN indefensible act" We are inclined to agree
with Mr. Murphy in this particular.

Prof. J. P. Neff says that many people would
be better off if they had never learned to read.
That is terrible indictment against the things
given the masses to read these days.

"The Brown house is lonely stretch OF
much travelled road" says the Mankato Free
Press in describing the scene of murder. Now
that appeals to us as a clear, graphic and well
adjectived description.

Magnus Johnson is with a single
thought and that is to make Tom Schall hanC
over that Senatorial seat. He has Vic Lawson

A dandelion came up for air last week and
actually pushed its yellow face up towards the
sun shining on one of the grass plots of Red
wood Falls. But Saturday the poor little thing
sneaked back and pulled the bed blankets up
over its head for another period of several weeks.

1t costs something to talk by telephone with
your friends in London. Eighty-one dollars for
the first three minutes and twenty-seven dollars
for each additional minute. Any Redwood Falls
girl who wishes to make date with the Prince
of Wales would be wise to call him up on the re-
verse.

Seven out of the twelve jurors functionine
IN the Mellett murder case in Canton, Ohio, were
women, and yet Rudner was found guilty Of the
murder of Mellett and given life sentence. That
doesn't smack of feminine sentimentalism, now
does it? The foreman of the jury was woman
at that.
If every Minnesotan were keen on selling
his state, her advantages and her resources t.
the outside as is Ray Chase there would be ter
rible calamity. Ray makes it attractive and
so wonderful that everyone within the sound Of
his voice just naturally wants to move in. HI
should be stopped before the state becomes Owe
populated.
