SMALL TOWN TALK

The Mankato Free Press is moved to won
der by the fact that it was recently revealed
that there are still Democrats in Minnesota
We'd just as soon inform the Free Press that
Redwood Falls still has its original five-or
perhaps it's only four. There was one of them
we were never quite sure about.

Right now when Aune and Thune are cele-
brating their fortieth anniversary, we read
that the New England of Minneapolis is doing
the same little thing. The only difference be-
tween the two events is that the New England
still repeatedly assures us, through its adver-
Using, that Our Credit is Good Aune and Thune
do no such thing. They KNOW u.s.

Few are the children who are taught to
save and deny themselves the indulgences they
want at the minute in order to have the bigger
thing later on. Yet their whole prosperity de-
ponds on this. eff you have the ability to save,
you will succeed" James Hill, the greatest rail-
road builder, told young man. IF not, you
will fail"
49,
young fellow who had a pretty fair job,
one day decided that he would "get another job"
So he asked his boss for recommendation, and
this is what he got: To whom it may concern
John Smith, who has been in my employ for the
past couple of years, is very prompt young
man-to stop work at the supper hour,
even if he was from ten minutes to an hour late
in getting to work. He is fairly good work
er-when l am around. He is the most willing
man l ever saw-to stop work and talk to his
friends. Outside of this there is nothing more
i can say.-Rapid City Herald.

AS reported in the Tribune yester-
day, Mason City, at an election last
Monday, adopted the colncil-manager
form of government. The vote stood l.
92O for and lab against. This new plan
is the same one proposed for Albert Lea
and will be presented to the voters for
their adoption or rejection At the
present time $50 cities in the United
States are operating under this mod
ern form of government and in nearly
every instance it is working out success
fully. The plan in reality calls for a
system of business along practical bust
ness lines Everyone knows that poor >
business methods, especially in handling q
the public business, has been the great
est reason for increased taxes.-Albert
Lea Tribune.

eral manager plan. 1t is the last word
in City government.-Fairmont Sentinel
Redwood Falls hasn't yet grown to the size
of either Albert Lea or Fairmont And yet we
believe that we, too, are plenty big enough to try
out this modern way of city government.

There never yet has been cloud so big and
so black that Ola Levang of Lanesboro can't see
some silver lining to it. Ola was one of the
papers that fought long and hard for the Nc
Nary Haugen bill and the Presidents veto of
came to the top and finds this ray of sunlight to
comfort him:
"The McNary Haugen bill has been
vetoed. But just the same, the farmer
has been permanently benefited by this
agitation. 1t has at least got his case
into court Every fight for the right
wins something
Don't those horses ever get across that
stream? Every time there is suggested change
in the incumbent of public office or change
of policy in government someone bobs up and
states that Lincoln said, Never swap horses
while crossing a stream. We ask again, how
horses forever crossing it? Surely some time
they must get to the other side even if they
stay out of the water only long enough to be
"swapped." Several papers are saying that
this is not the time for this change or that, be-
cause sit is never wise to swap-etc., etc" just
why is there perpetual crisis which makes any
sort of change unwise? Can it be possible that
these strengthening steeds have been adapted
and adopted for political purposes!

As matter of fact, and being perfectly
honest, women ARE bit hard to please. Here
we have the women of the Orient finally dom
ming the dresses of their Occidental sisters in
stead of the trousers of their own past tradi-
tions. At the same time fashion notes from
Paris contain these two short items relative to
what the women of the Occident are about to do
Paris is designing for the sum-
mer girl white sailor trousers for strolls
the sands and black MORE silk
