"He laughs best who laughs last" Witness
Henry Ford.
Julia Newton of the University of Minnesota
ifaculty has it figured out that, in conservative
Figures, every wife's work is worth $139 per
month in good hard cash. When did you give
your wife her last pay check.

1t has been estimated that Americans spend
nearly $2,0O0,O00,00O a year on cosmetics.
'Twouldn't be so bad if this were all spent for
American made products but there are still huge
hordes of women who think only the French
poudres and parfums are good enough. That
makes the thing bit appalling.

This week the discussion of the good and
bad (if any!) points of the new Ford have
crowded the post mortems over last nights bridge
games into oblivion. Henry certainly startled
Wall Street, witness the drop in stocks of
some of the rival competing automobile con-
Germs. What the furry will amount to ultimate
ly is still matter for conjecture.

We hope, having had your Golden Rule din
ner last Sunday and thereby made quite saw
ing in the weekly household budget, that you
didn't forget to put it into the Near East Relief
fund That's why you ate of simple fare, you
know. In you forgot to have this dinner, it
is still time for you to retrieve your sef-respect
by making little donation anyway. Even the
small gift will reach to the Near East-its near
enough for that

81 have decided to be a candidate
for reelection as republican national
committeeman from this state and if
the republicans of Minnesota decide to
have me serve in that capacity for an
other four years l pledge myself to do
everything in my power to elect the
tire republican ticket."-Senator William
F. Brooks, republican national commit
teeman for Minnesota.
BILLY" Brooks has made just as good COM
mitteeman as we thought he would make when
we helped elect him at the Cleveland convention.
We firmly believe the party will benefit by his
reelection.
We should think that anyone who heard
read the report of DR.. C. w. Larson, national
chief of the dairy industry bureau would go
straight out and buy dairy cow-maybe two Of
them. He told the Nicollet Hotel meeting last
Tuesday that Minnesota produces seven times
as much butter as the total output of the eleven
IoI SIdtco anu SOulIlcTu
that although Wisconsin has doubled her output
in the past twenty years and Iowa has increased
hers 21z times, Minnesota has increased hers 4k
times during the same period. After giving these
amazing figures DR.. Larson went on to give
some mighty good advice the testing of herds
and herd improvement associations. Those of
us who have always believed Wisconsin to be
the biggest dairy state found rather startling
the DOctOr'S hat
100,O00,OO0 pounds more than either of her clos
est rivals, Wisconsin and Iowa. Evidently some
few farmers in this old state have demonstrated
to their own satisfaction that there is money in
cows if they milk them right.

The Duluth Herald of November 10Th carried
two news items which were startling in their
grewsome significance. In one of them two
boys bought, with apparent ease, revolver which
was the chief element in hold-up they pulled
off in the city of Duluth. In the second item,
a girl, bent upon self-destruction secured a re-
volver, with the equal ease. The Herald writes
sharply and pertinenty the subject, closing
with these significant paragraphs:
"The need of regulating the sale of
revolvers more vigorously is clear. But
it is question whether any kind of
regulation will do any more than keep
revovers out of the hands of good cti-
while bad citizens get all they
want
Nobody, except possibly a police
man, needs a revolver; and policeman,
if he could get no revolver, could go
armed with larger gun.
Complete prohibition of the manu-
facture or sale of revolvers would in
time, solve the problem; and it is doubt
full whether anything else would"

"a slash of $5,36O,97S in the as
sessed valuation of the Village of Hib-
bling in one year may be considered quite
drop. Sufficient, anyway to awaken
us to a peep into the future-and it isn't
very encouraging picture at that price.
The slice was taken from the valuation
of $85, 142222, and it means a reduc-
ton of $115,575.12 from the general
fund levy of 81 III 200 made by the viii
lage council for the purpose of running
the village next year. 1t is only the be-
