! The Los Angeles Times says: "The hardest
job your child faces is learning good manners
without ever seeing any," Meaning that Pa and
Ma should consider their audience before they
indulge in some of the crudities of life when the
family happens to be all by its lone.

Curb the too-blatant blare of your auto horn
and see that your windshield wiper swishes with
the proper swish-the new traffic laws say so.
Beside that they say lot of other things that
you shall and shall not do. The wise fellow is
he who gets acquainted with them.

"Give promptly and you give twice" is a
good proverb to apply right now while the Red
Cross is collecting money for the Mississippi
sufferers The need is right now, and very ur-
gent. None of US is so unfortunate that we can't
give at least a small sum to these people who
are so terribly unfortunate.

| ats queer" unused Mary as she arranged the
porterhouse on the CRATE of the electric broiler;
| "a man can be perfectly good husband and faith
er, yet never realize that the rest of the family
| might like just once to know how that bit of meat
right up close to the T-bone would taste. I don't
suppose the Missus has ever tasted it, and there
has never been a bit of white meat on her plate
since came to this house. And yet the Mister
is pretty good as men go, at that"

"Queen Mary has issued orders that no
one is to address her as Your Majesty
when she is shopping. When she shops,
the proprietors of the stores she intends
to patronze are notified two hours in adj
vance. She makes her selection and next
day one of her ladies-in-waiting calls with
the ropal check book and pays out"
That's the first intimation we have ever
had that lady-in-waitng and America hus-
band serve the same purpose

Minnesotans may or may not like the way
Ted Christensen Topped the branches off the
appropriation tress. Each individual decides
that for himself according as he finds his
own little pet branch left on or Topped. But
whether said individual likes it or not he has to
admit that Ted is the most consistent Governor
this loP state ever had. He said he was going
to economic and he did it. He has also proved
that he is about all the governor this state has
at the present writing

Bob Forrest gets it out of his system like this:
"The most debased clergyman that
disgraced church is real saint
compared with Sinclair Lewis, the novel
list. At least these men, even though
they went wrong, brought hope, faith
and cheer to many heart troubled man
and woman. They sat at the bedside Of
soul stricken person and helped to COM
fort them in their last hours. They preach
real message, of Jesus with his pure,
warm, changess love. Lewis peddles
filth: filth so rotten and undisguised that
the people that read it, will not even
read it to their children"

The most interesting study in the world is
the study of children and their problems. That
is why the editor is taking today off to attend
the conference of social workers at Slayton We
who ignorant of the problems presented by
delinquent children, homeless children and all
other phases of child life outside of the protect
ed American home, may learn much by sitting at
the feet of such people as Judge Hall of the
Childrens Bureau and Mrs. Blanche LaDue of
the State Board of Control AS long as there
children there will be unprotected, uncared
for and untaught children. Let US set about
learning something of their lives so that perhaps
we may each in our own small way, help them
to life more abundant.

The Minnesota state supreme court has de-
cded that extracts from the Bible can be read in
the public schools of the state without infringing
any constitutional provision. S. B. Wilson, chief
justice dissented. The opinion upholds that hand
ed down by Judge Edward Freeman of st. Louis
county, who is a former student of the Mankato |
high school. The supreme court said: "The
daily sessions of congress and of the state leg
slature are opened with prayer. No one has the
temerity to point to any constitutional infringe
ment in this practise. The same has been done in
penal institutions and the army and navy has been
provided with chaplains at great expense" So |
the court is of the belief that no harm can come |
from a reading of Bible extracts to school pupils
daily. The higher court supported Judge Free /
mans ruling that the purpose of the school board
in having the Bible read was to ''implant in the |
minds of the pupils higher moral and ethical
standards and was not for the purpose to teach
ing the doctrines of any religious sect."-Mankato
