Minnesotas mining industries have shipped
out 8OOOOOOOO tons of ore since 1892, survey
by State Auditor Ray P. Chase reveals 1t is a
tremendous resource that is fast dwindling. 1t
is high time that Minnesota begins to guard that
wealth and to nurse it along for future produc-
tiveness.-Exchange.

When / remember all
The friends so link'd together,
I've seen around me fall,
Like leaves in wintry weather
/ feel like one who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled, whose garland dead,
And all but he departed.-Moore.

A farmer writing in one of our exchanges
makes the following statement as an introduce
ton to long and very readable article in which
he proves that it is "the long wide germ that
builds the ear"
Sunshine, rain fertilizers and cul-
tivation have their part in crop produc-
ton, but the germ that is planted de-
termines the harvest, and the agencies
mentioned above only finish the task
set before them"
All of which sets us to thinking that it is
time for the testing of seed corn.

An Omaha paper has figured it out
that the muscular energy expended by
a woman who tries to swim the English
channel would darn 436,233 socks, or sew
on 523,2S2 buttons, or patch 82,211 pairs
of trousers. All of which probably is
true, but there's no limelight in it for the
female.-St. Peter Free Press.
We wonder why it hasn't occurred to some
energy is expended to win prize-fght cham
pionship, to go around golf course three
times without stopping, or to stay up until three
A. M. and play poker. Some little loss of ener-
gy there, also, we doubt not!

'Marceline," on the back of one of the daily
papers, says lot of what we coarsely term
''bunk." But once in the age of granite tomb
of truth AS f'rinstance the other day when she
burst out with
"SOMETIMES one WONDERS what
manner of
WOMAN really lives behind the PAINT
And powder on her face. SOMETIMES
her
EYES give CLUE Sometimes her
HANDS.
Highly PAINTED WIVES seem to
strike
A FALSE note in the SCHEME of
things.
A LITTLE POWDER insults no mans
INTELLIGENCE, but
Too much ROUGE looks like undue
ADVERTISING
p S. The capitals are Marcene's-we don't
claim them!

For sheer publicity nerve the Insurance De-
partment of the Supreme Lodge of the Knights
Of Pythias beats the world. The following sched-
ule of prizes to be given the Knights who sue
,eed in grating the most from their local pub
fishers is quoted from the Editor and Publisher of
New York. We hope the local Knights don't get
into the alleged contest-it will be so painful
for the Redwood County editors to tell them just
what they think of scheme which asks every
thing and gives nothing.
"The Insurance Department of the
Supreme Lodge of the Knights Of
Pythias has announced cash prizes to-
falling 1880 to be awarded to members
who secure the greatest volume of free
newspaper advertising for the order and
its Insurance Department during 1927
according to the current bulletin of the
Dailies
"A pamphlet has been issued which
urges members of the Order to enter the
contest, outlines the conditions of the
contest, and suggests how to go about
securing publication of copy to be pre-
pared by the home office as well as the
local lodge.
"The following scale of credits will
be given to each member upon results
obtained during the full year of 1927,
the pamphlet states.
Credits viii be given only for news
articles appearing in daily or weekly
newspapers in city where member re-
sides.
"Ten for publication of articles sent
out by Home Office, ten credits per col
umn inch or fraction thereof.

its per column inch or fraction thereof.

tions, five credits Der column inch or
