And now the baseball people who have been
in trouble recently lay all these troubles to
gossip" Maybe so-gossip has been responsible
for many serious things.

This is the month you scrimp and scrape to
get together enough money to pay your personal
property tax so you won't be delinquent after
March LIST. The more you prevaricated last May
the less will be your scrimping and scraping this
month. But the less respect will you have for
yourself also. We wonder, does it pay?

We aim to get over to Mankato for the
Second District Editorial meeting if its human
ly possible We want to watch Joe Reynolds
and few of his old standbys try to resolute on
the highway bond issue and the state constabu-
larry bill. That bunch of editors can work up
more enthusiasm, animosty, language and per-
sifilage on an issue or two like the above than
talk about fun! We HOPE we don't have to miss
lit.
When the peaches" and Browning trial
started Will Rogers wrote to the Minneapolis
journal from his New York office:
"You are going to get nothing three
times day but peaches, mud and apple
sauce. When judge conducts case
like that in public where's your recall
and referendum? And we are the
country that's sending missionaries to
! China"
There two big industries at Grand Rap
| ids, industries that have pay rolls that make it
possible to pick a ten dollar bill out of the air
most anywhere. The largest, the big paper mill
owned and operated by the Pioneer Press and
Dispatch, employs several hundred hands the
tho -,
half million dollars annually. The editors VS.
tied the mill and were shown through the plant
by the superintendent, who explained paper MAX
ing. He told us that the first dope that goes
over the rolls is 1914 per cent water. After
reading "wet" editorial in the Pioneer Press we
are quite sure cuss got in there and slipped
in that other half per cent-Carl Eastwood

How many of you would like to pay So peck
for potatoes grown on the farm that reared Cal
vim Coolidge? Hands up You can, if you want
to! A certain potato corporation" is ballyhoo-
ing this thrill for your dinner guests" Each
peck box of the glorified spuds will be accom-
panied by an affivadit, swearing that the muir
phies were born, breathed, and had their being
in no other habitat than the slopes of Plymouth,
Vermont farm, where Calvin Coolidge was rear
ed to manhood's estate Garden variety potatoes
Coolidge, be bought for forty-five cents
peck. There's flavor somehow, to this Coolidge
potato publicity akin to the picture of the presi-
dent making hay in bayfield, all on summers
Iday.-Exchange.

At the time the Legislature met for the
opening of the present session Jim Landy, the
Irish poet who edits the Olivia Times burst
forth into poetry. He called his outburst "Mak-
ing Us Good By Law" and here it is:
If Murphy's cow breaks down gate
And feasts on Deacon Wardwells clover,
Let legislators legislate
To stop more cows from breaking over.
And if the Blinks don't like the way
In which Lavnsky's daughter jazzes,
Let's have her stopped, without delay,
By legal wherefores and whereases.
In case your neighbours habits fail
To win your hearty appreciation,
Address your Senator by mail,
And ask for special legislation.
Let's put proper legal ban
! On those who thrust the chests out
proudly;
Be it enacted that no man
Shall let his rooster crow too loudly.
Whereas, to walk the floor at night
With babies that will not be quiet
Proves clearly that their mothers might
Do something to improve their diet.
Pile up the laws, extend the shelves
For statutes framed, made and pro-
vided
Please give laws to keep ourselves
From being knock-kneed and lop-
sided.

The University of Minnesota is ask
ing for an increase of million dollars
year from the people to keep going.
There are about 10000 students en-
rolled in the big education factory, and it
is getting unweildly. Junior Colleges
throughout the state to take care of the
first year work now done at the univers-
ity would seem to be the answer-Bau-
dette Region.
The Junior College idea is fine idea but
it certainly is not an economical for the tax
payers of the state.Suppose there were to be
placed such an institution in each of the size
able towns of the state say towns of three thou
sand population and up. Would there be anything
