| A farm bulletin announces that it's the clogs
that making the money" Quite character
istic, is it not ?"
This is the week to open the window of your
soul and let the clean winds of sweet and sane
thinking sweep away doubt and gloom so that
the new sums of hope may filter through.

If the Legislature would stop fooling with
the Tom Schall case and vivisection and a few
such things, and give US some real crime legis-
lation whole lot of would be better pleased.

These are the days for Redwood Falls citi-
zens of all ages to mind their steps on the Ibr-
airy or court house lawns Winding steps in this
instance means mindng that you don't step at
a II where the grass is supposed to grow green
and untracked.
The most subtle joke bunch of Legislators
ever perpetrated upon themselves was commit
ted when the present lawmakers increased sal
aries so that "men of better calibre might be
induced to become candidates" Do the dear
boys realize how many of them that will leave
at home in 1929?
Joe Reynolds of the Mankato Free Press is
doing some mighty good work as President of
the Southern Minnesota Crime Prevention As
ISOLATION Joe is fearless and common sensible
in his leadership and the organization would
accomplish much if given support by the Legisla-
ture But instead Of this support it is meeting with
Indifference and lassitude- worse. The Crime
Commission and the other organizations formed
to aid it deserve better treatment from the SOL
ons. 1t is bit disgusting.

Gunnar Bjornson is minus his long flowing
locks. The other day he went into barber shop
in st. Paul and asked the barber Ito single his
hair" He meant trim around the bottom with
out shearing the top. In twenty minutes the
locks were gone and the glory that had been his
was being escorted from the floors by the porter
Bjornson is now trying to figure out just what
and how much single means. We would liked
to have been in the neighborhood when the gen.
ial editor of the Minnesota Mascot surveyed him
self in the glass.-Tyler Herald.

Human beings as a whole love animals and
hate to see them suffer. The only exception to
this rule is the knave who puts out dog poison
But however much we love animals we love HUI
man beings more. That is why the proposed
bill forbilling science to animals for expert
mental purposes appears, to most of US, as the
falsest of kindness. Men interested enough in
science to make these experiments are big enough
not to inflict unnecessary suffering on any ami
NAL life. But if suffering is needful in order
that medics may study diseases, their preven-
tons and cures it is better that the lower ami
mails suffer that mankind may be saved I'm
due sentmentalism oft times leads folks to do
things

Where are the Americans so poor that they
do not take telephones and radios and victrolas
and boxed cookies and bicycles and movies and
streetcar fares and schoolbooks and postal cards
and bars OF chocolate calmly for granted? Even
working in the poorest slums of the big cities |
nave yet to find them. Indeed it is in these slum
Iltchens that one sees waste in its most shock
ing form. The kettle boils on madly for an
hour after the teapot is filled; the electric light
'urns on unnoted in a streak of noon sunshine:
he uneducated and listless woman of the fam
ly slices away quarter inch of good potato
With each strip of skin; crackers are crumbled
and thrownout in paper boxes; cold cereal, cold
ice, cold stale ends of loaves are all allowed to
mould and tumbled into the always ready gar
bage can.-Kathleen Norris

There have been number of inquiries for |
he little poem by George du Maurer, read at
he recent Mothers and Daughters banquet In

To keep US going-and SO good day

A little warmth, little light
Of loves bestowing-and so good night! 7
A little fun to match the sorrow
Of each days growing-and so, good
