THAT BLAMED MULE AGAIN.

Just at time when a cheerful re-
port from him would help lot, Galen
BARRIERS weather-predicting mule re-
fused to say a word. Mr. Barber said
Tuesday afternoon that the mule "had
gone on a strike" and refused to pro-
phesy any kind of weather, mild or
cold, open or snowy. What the trouble
was Mr.. Barber did not say but the
weather and livestock specialist con-
nected with this Great Family Journal
is of the opinion the mule is suffering
with a bad case Of jealousy.
Last week young Hereford owned
by Donald Barber got all the publicity,
with pictures in the papers and every
thing. The mule has had a monopoly on
the front pages, as far as the livestock
on the Barber homestead is concerned,
and little competition made him mad.
So now he sulks and won't talk when
a reporter tries to get an interview. He
ought to remember what happened to the
Hereford after gay week among the
bright lights of the cities. The Here
ford is now steak, but the Mule is still
a weather prophet. Maybe in another
week he will get the drift, or get out of
it, and make the announcement on which
hinges the decision of western Mime
sofa as to whether or not it is necessary
to buy the fleecelined kind.
Once before, several years ago, this SAM
lule had the same streak of mulishness. Owe
ere in Redwood Falls we got much disturbe'
nd perturbed because we just had no way o
moving what sort of winter it was going t.
e, how many suits of underwear to buy for eacl
f the children, how many bed blankets to orde
rom the nail order house, how much coal to pu
a nor how deep to bank the house. 1t was
yorrisome time until Dad Isham came to tn
escue. He offered to buy that mule the best t.
e had if the derned dankey would come acros
nd do his stuff. The mule did, Dad bought tn
lanket TAT least we assume he did because h
so much a man of his word) and we all &c
eady for forty days and nights of below ger
weather.. AS a matter of fact it was one of til
nldest winter We ever had and he didn't nee
III those things-but the mule predicted" an!
way! Now, in a similar dilema brought abo,
" his native stubborness a word to the wis
meaning Dad) should be sufficient

The following opinion, voiced by the noted
William Allen White should freshen our salts
faction that Redwood Falls has recently shown a
marked appreciation for her public library.
"The public library is Americas
continuation school. 1t is the most DEM
ocratic of American educational institu-
tions - 1t is free to every person who
wish to read, and who is willing to read.
If the schools will only teach the reading
RABBIT, the library will educate the world,
for the public library of America is free
to every new idea, free to every fresh
point of view; nothing is barred because
it is new radical OF different. The
public library is free from party poll
tics; it is free from religious intolerance
and prejudcices. The public library
provides information on all sides of ev-
cry important question-so far as its
funds win allow"
