More Or Less True

When you see woman wearing a new hat it means all the hats in most of the millinery stores in town have recently been trotted out to be tried on.
 The ideal husband gives his wife the money to buy her own birth day present and then surprises her with another one that she can have the fun of taking back and exchanging.

The Hectic Life.
(New York World. )

ATLANTIC CITY, N J.. Nov. 12.-
 Speaking here tonight before the New
 Jersey State Teachers Association, Lor-
 ado Taft, sculptor, lecturer and author
 condemned present day Ameicran life
 casual and without background. Our
 homes," he said, seem to be on casters
 like furniture-ever moving,
 changing. Our recreations hectic at
 forty fifty miles hour;
 music is jazz drama, the movie;
 our literature, the strident daily. To
 the other arts we are practically inn
 mune."
 Times. And despite admiration for Mir Taft, we must quarrel with the whole thesis it presents. It is common enough these days, to be sure, to hear the life we lead denounced for the mad pace at which it capers. But just where is this mad pace? Our recreations hectic" says MT. Taft lat fotry or fifty miles an hour" Exactly so. But you find, after you think about 1t little bit, that while the automobiles run forty fifty miles hour, and the trains even faster, the people in them lolling on cushions half asleep. After three hours of rid ing in an automobile, what do the passengers ask the driver? Do they ask him to stop for few minutes they can catch their breath? They do not. They ask him to stop for few minutes so they get out and stretch.
 similar discrepancy between the appearance and the reality can be discovered in other phases lof the supposed hectic existence. The orchestra is jazz, but the tune it plays, as often as not lis slow blues that makes the Chocolate Soldier" waltz seem like hoedown by com parison. The drama is movie, but the chair you sit in is softly upholstered and twice as large as the chair you sit in at a regular play The big presses eat up tons of paper every hour but the newspapers carry whole pages of bedtime stories.
 It is mistake, it seems to us, to confuse the speed of the machine with the speed of the human being 1t We offer the theory that these machines which hum so dizzily far from having increased the pace of modern existence have actually decreased it. by giving the citizenry more time to dawdle it's coffee.

A PERSONAL PROBLEM.

The Christian Herald in a leading editorial initialed by Dr. Danial A. Polling, does a lot o goatng the assumed fact that the reeen election showed that the United States was iron three-fourths to four-ffths in favor of Prohibi ton Following this editorial is initiale, by Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, author and forme editor in chief of the Herald, now contributing editor which, under the heading, "A Persona Problem is follows:
 I have on my desk a letter from prominent editor of a well-known East magazine in which he says, after criticizing severely the prohibitory law:
 My grandfather had his claret and wine and they never hurt him; my father had his, and lived to good old age; and I intend to have MINE, RE- GARDLESS OF ANY LAW
 The capitals his, not mine
 The prohibition problem is a per sonal problem. After reading count less editorials and hearing great num- bers of political speeches, dealing with what is called the prohibition problem, have not edi oriai nor heard a speech that calls attention to the fact that the entire problem resolves around the selfish habits of personal drinkers
 Why blink the clear fact in the case? The whole trouble about enforcement of the Prohibition Law is caused by the personal thirst Of citizens. who, like the editor, going to have their drink regardless of law" The prohibition problem will never be solved until the and women of this country who indulging their personal habit stop drinking and put the bootlegger and the law-breaker out of business forever.

sense that always has characterized the author of 'tIn His Steps" He holds to the truth. None can question the yerty of the conclusion that we shall not have Prohibition in the United States until people quit drinking.
 It also is just as true that when people quit drinking shall not need Prohibition. The problem will then solve itself-and in the only way that it be solved correctly. It all re- solves itself down to a question of educating or converting individuals
 Therefore why the cost and turmoil and l. lawlessness of Prohibition enforcement? What is it that Dr. Polling is gloating over?

After the smash-up in 1860 it took four liekings for the Democratic Party to get itself in shape to win a Presidential election And, after Bryan took charge in 1896, it had to take four more ckings before it elected President. If that is the rule there will be one more licking and then victory. It is long way ahead to 1886. In the meantime Democrats may employ themselves to their profit and that of the country by working hard and attending to their business.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. %, 1928
The generous run of cattle at the
opening enabled killers to insist on a
Is to Csc decline throughout, their eff
forts being aided by the undependable
market for replacement cattle where
trade was practically on a specially
basis and anywheres from steady to
Csc or more lower, desirable yearlings
and well bred fleshy feeders being the
only class of replacement cattle to
get any dependable action. A sprink-
ling of range steers appeared up to
SLIPS to $1,000 on killer account, the
bulk at SLIPS down. with cows most
ly at $6.75 to $S.25, heifers to $500
cutters selling from $5.25 to 1925
with bulls at $3.50 downwards. Veal
ers dropped $1.OO, good lights turn
ing mostly at $3.50.
The hog market after a late start
was fairly active at the Is to Csc
decline. Desirable lights and butch
ers sold largely at $500 to 1910, a
few lots on shipping account to 1920
Underweights turned at $S.75, pigs at
$3.50, while packing sows were sal
able from $500 to $3.50.
The liberal run of sheep and lambs
weakened the market on lambs and
these ruled weak to 25c lower with
the bulk at $12.75. Bucky lambs sold
at $11.75, heavies $1,000, culls $3.50
to $1,000. Fat ewes were salable at
$500 to $6.75 for light and handy
weights, culls selling on down to $3.50
Range feeders cleared at $11.00 to
$11.5O, natives $1,000 to $1,000.

busy planting trees on the school
grounds. Mr.. Paine, the fire warden,
was carrying on a project in which
he requested that each child bring
at least one tree to be planted on the
grounds. The children responded well
and the result was that where there
used to be bare school ground, there
is now thirty-one trees which all are
hoping to see grow next spring. We
feel very grateful to Mr.. Paine who
put in a great deal of effort in this
project.
Vernell Nelson and Joseph Rosga
have again resumed their school
work Both are eighth graders. Our
total enrolment is now twenty-five.
County Superintendent ]. P. Miller
visited the school last Friday. We
are always glad to see him, but found
his visit especially pleasant this time
due to the fact that he told us
splendid story, Chained Eagles"
which carries a fine lesson for us all.
Saturday, the Goth of October, a pie
social was held at the school. The
main attraction was a political talk
and some fine violin music by Hjalmar
Petersen, editor of the Askov Amer
lean. There was fine crowd which
filled the school to Overlooking. Claus
Toering very efficiently auctioneered
at the social The pies brought $11.55,
the lunches and fish pond S6.10. and
the goose which was ratified off and
won by Mrs. Fred Zuadtke, ST.,
brought $14.OO. The expenses were
but 75c, thus leaving profit Of
$1,000 which is intended to be used
for playground equipment. A basket
ball, goals, and two swings have al
ready been ordered. Peter Hokanson
has kindly promised to donate poles
for the basket ball set, so before long
the game will be in full swing.
Thanks are extended to everyone who
helped make this social a success.
