There is no baby SO hard to get to sleep as
the one who is about eighteen years old.

There is no doubt about it; women can take
a joke easily enough. See how many of them are
married.

No need to worry about going up in an air
plane; you won't bump anything while going up.
It's the coming down that merits careful thought.

Rupert Hughes is not increasing his popular
ty among the people of the earth by muck-rak-
ing in the life Of George Washington. Folks
are beginning to wonder what Rupert has in his
own life that he is anxious to conceal

Every town in Minnesota should see that it's
kids have skating rink. If there isn't natur-
al one there should be an artificial one-flooding
a vacant lot ought not to be a Herculean task.
1t means lot to the kids in health and the pur-
suit of happiness.
Chicago is taking her Mayor so seriously
that she hopes to gain a place for him in the
Republican National Convention next year. Small
chance. To Chicago Thompson may be real
herman, to the rest of the northwest he is only
prodigious joke. He might get cheer Or two
from Milwaukee but from nowhere else.

You notice nobody has had the nerve
to pick out any one woman in America
and call her an Average Woman.-Tan-
pa Tribune.
No indeed! There~vas such mistake made
OBJ I'd
man that no one has had the heart since to at
tempt to do any more picking.

Ever now and again we hear some poor delud-
ed soul make sport of the organizations of wom-
en-, apparently without any recognition of what
massed woman power can do and of how futile
the effort of one individual woman is. It was
no less person than Frances E. Willard who
said, "Mother-love work magic for humanity,
but ORGANIZED mother-love works miracles"

And now Canada is growing because Ameri-
can Bootleggers taking moonshine into Can
ada and selling it cheaper than the real stuff
can be sold across the border. Well, it is to be
regretted. Still Canada has done her share in
upsetting the prohibition plans of the United
States government-constrolled liquor stores
can't solve the problem of legalizing the liquor
traffic

The Minneapolis City Jail played a mean
trick on its inmates last Thursday when it served
'the boys" nothing but weners, bread and water
instead of the expected Thanksgiving fare. And
here number of the "guests" had got them
selves invited to the lookup a-purpose, knowing
of the good meals kindly city had served to her
delinquent ones in the past. 1t is reported that
some of the fellows are so indignant that they
vow they will not stop over for Christmas.

There are many persons of combative ten
denotes, who read for ammunition, and dig out
of the Bible iron for balls. They read, and they
find nitre and charcoal and sulphur for powder.
They read, and they find cannon. They read
| and they make portfolios and embrasures. And
if man does not believe as they do they look
| upon him as an enemy, and let fly the Bible at
him to demolish him. So men turn the word of
God into a vast arsenal, filled with all manner
of weapon, offensive and defensive-Henry Ward
Beecher.
This section of Minnesota is wondering what
| it is that Henry Benson of ST. Peter has "up his
sleeve" Certainly the former Senator from
Nicollet County has plans and hopes, aspirations
and ambitions. His past record justifies all Of
these and the people of this section will be both
willing and anxious to help him if it lies within
their power. AS Carl Eastwood says in speaking
of Mr.. Benson and his future plans, "This paper
would not, if it could lay as much as a feather
in the way. Our greatest pleasure in life is to
support really big men for important Offices"

For seventeen years l was a teacher
of college boys and girls from all over
the middle west, and l estimated that
! a student who entered college from
home with a good bookcase in it had
a head start of twenty years over the
student who came from home with
out books.-Stuart Sherman, late of the
New York Herald Tribune.
Which proves again our lifelong contention
that five dollars spent-no, invested-in really
good books is worth twenty dollars spent in al
most any other form of entertainment. By tn.
way, books make ideal Christmas gifts-n ont
