Lindbergh is teaching geography to the boys
and girls of America in way in which it was
never taught before, and the kids are learning
about countries of whose existence they had lit
tie or no idea. Ditto the old folks!

Many things have been said about Senator
Hefflin since his ridiculous demonstration in the
U. S. Senate recently. To all the other things
might be added this comment from the Fairmont

great Democratic state of Alabama is represent
ed in the United States by lunatc.'

The radio announcer told Norwood ladies the
other evening that certain concern was offer
ing certain brand of silk stockings at $1.5O per
pair, two pair for $2.62. One of our mer-
chants who happens to be selling the same brand
was listening in and the next morning looked up
his price and found he was selling the same
a 81 two for
pretty hard to buy an article for any less than
the home merchants ask for it.-Norwood Times.

Only seventy of the hundred and eighty-two
mines in St. Louis County are operating and Ex-
Senator Fred Vilbert told Duluth group the
other day that the state is losing vast sums in
taxation because exploration and development
of new mining properties has been at a stand
still for several years. The North contends that
all this pause in the business of developing one
of Minnesota's greatest resources is because of
the ruthless and stupid policy of taxation" 1--WE
quote the Duluth Herad) (which the state has
visited upon its great mining industry Of
course of the South are just as much so and
blind in addition. Assuredly if mining is sus-
pended because of the taxes, all sections of the
state would profit by an adjustment Of those
taxes. At any rate the matter is worthy of
some investigation and some solution will again
put the minds to producing and employing.

Herbert Hoover appears more and more to
be the best man fitted to assume the response
bilities of president His ability is admitted by
all, and the only weakness in his candidacy
which may not be a weakness after all-is his
lack of strategy of the politician. Those who
have any reasoning power will recognize this
more as favorable qualification than as detri-
mental to his candidacy. There is considerable
agitation in behalf of Lowden in the West on ac-
count of his stand on farm relief legislation
and there is no doubt that Lowden would make
an excellent candidate. Herbert Hoover, how
ever, has extraordinary hold upon host of
American citizens, and he should be the stand
ard bearer of the Republican party at the next
election. The farmers of the Northwest can
conscentiously support him since his active sup
port of the proposed st. Lawrence-Great Lakes
waterway means more to the people of this Sec
ton than any relief legislation giving farmers
tariff benefits and equalization fees valuable as
those may be at this time.-Alexandria Citizen

To residents of Redwood Falls who remem-
Der Congressman Hugh Peavey as hot-headed
kid-about-town, the following little article from
the Duluth Herald, regarding his son will be of
interest. Assuredly it marks the son "chip of
the old block"
Lynn Peavey, son of Congressman
H. H. Peavey of Washburn, Wis. is the
editor of the Price County News at
Philips. Some people, however, have
professed to believe that Lynn was
merely Eyes" man for dad and that the
editorials appearing in the News was
from the pithy pen of the latter And
they said much. Whereupon being
son Of his insurgent father, the young
man went before a notary and the 9TH
er day published the unique affidavit
that mo editorial or part thereof which
has appeared in the Price County News
has been written by anyone but myself.
/ have never counseled with Congress-
man Peavey, my father, on any editorial
| published in the Price County News ex-
cept after its publication, and only once
when he happened to be at the office on
press day has he ever seen advance
