SMALL TOWN TALK.

Hoover and Hughes think that Presiden
Coolidge will be nominated and elected in 1928
That makes three of US!

A resident of Park Rapids was arrested for
taking immature black bass and feeding them
to domesticated mink. A fine chance game has
in Minnesota with persons of that breed abroad!

Another newspaper consolidation has gone
into effect, whereby the Thief River Falls Times
and Tribune are merged. The paper hereafter
will be known as the Times. The city of Thief
River Falls, which once had three weeklies, now
has only one, thereby showing it's good common
sense.

Coolidge has arrived at the very topmost
pinnacle of SUGGESTIVE collegiate Ford has ac-
copied his dictum mighty good form. We saw
such an article the other day, bearing in huge
white letters the legend 81 do not choose to run
again." And the animal was certainly living up
to its choice!

Wayne B. Wheeler, for thirty-three years
the chief counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, has
passed to his reward Whatever opposition
there may have been to the work with which Mr..
Wheeler was helping, the whole nation must
honor this man for his steadfastness to his con-
victions, his sincerity of purpose and his capac-
ity for unlimited labor. Even his enemies must
respect his memory.
Lulu L. Pickett has been made Superintend-
ent of the Schools at Superior, Wis, where a man
of years of training failed last year. That is
certainly big peacock's feather in the cap of
the feminine sex. We don't envy Miss Pickett
her task of bringing order out of that awful
chaos which is the Superior school situation, but
we stand ready to admire and honor her when
she has accomplished it.

Minnesota is happy in the health returns
coming from the Rochester hospital where the
Governor is recovering-even more happy, if
possible, than she in the last election returns.
Minnesota knows her Ted and loves him. Not
all the political chatter in the Universe can
check that love. That he has been i'll for many
months and extremely ill for the last few weeks
has been genuine grief to his thousands of
staunch friends and supporters. That he is re-
covering and will probably be entirely cured of
his ills is a proportionate joy. Here's to con-
tinued good news of the returning health of the
Governor-may that health continue to come un-
til it has arrived in absolute completeness.

When a ticklish situation arises in town

The average citizen feels quite certain he
could run a newspaper better than the editor
and if he was publishing that sheet, he'd show
'em, you can bet. AS a matter of fact, if he
has horse sense, he would do just as the editor
does-put the soft pedal on family rows, church
squabbles, and such matters Of minor conse-
quence which will adjust themselves as time goes
on. Don't expect the ong-suffering small town
newspaper man to advocate or attack any pro-
position which you yourself lack the courage to
support or attack over your own signature. The
local paper is willing to push any project in the
public interest but it is not willing to pull chest
nuts out of the fire for individuals or minori-
ties.-Thief River Falls Times.

Hanford MacNider is much incensed over the
worrying the American tourists have been do
ing about the behavior of the American Legion
boys going to Paris for good time. The
other day at Joliet Mr.. MacNider said lot OF
forceful things on this subject, among them this;
"These people are handing advice to the Legion
but the Legion can solve its own problems. We
know how to handle ourselves in France, anG
will not be rowdies. We never have been rowd
les. We have been there month for every day
the thirty day tourists have, and the only squeal
ing we heard then was from the other side Of
the barbed wire."
Many people have been watching with inter

an admission free" fair. The fair was helG
very recently and more than 1900 people at

This is what one member Of the Board of Dir
ectors says about it:
"Our best year up to 1927 was in
1926 when a few more than 10000 at

The people liked the idea of being able
to see the educational side of the fair
without cost and they reciprocated by
paying the small admission charges to
grandstand, bleachers and in our amuse-
ment park, whereby we derived rev.
