Since the appearance of the new Ford a
South Dakota boy has burst into song with a
little dtty entitled, "Henry's made Lady out of
Lizzie"
f-t-
Of all the misnomers that of calling pol
tical campaign a ''free-for-alP' is the hugest.
It is possibly the most expensive luxury in the
world in proportion to it's returns.

A man up at Fergus Falls says he has been
watching the squirrels and he is sure it is going
to be mild winter. A bee raiser at Greenbush
says he is sure it is going to be an extremely
mild winter because his bees have not sealed up
every crack in their hives. Apparently there are
some liars and fools in the animal kingdom as
well as in the human race.

Minnesota Democrats should make them
selves pretty certain that AL. Smith is heart and
soul for the Great Lakes Waterway scheme be-
fore they do any shouting for him. Coming
from New York as he does we have our doubts
if AL. is doing any very strenuous work for that
project. And there is sense in Northwest
democrats cutting off their noses just to spite
the Republicans

Maude Royden, England's great woman
preacher, smokes and advocates companionate
marriages. Therefore the women of two socie-
ties in Boston and New York cancelled her lee
ture engagements. The Boston women objected
to the marriage of unconventional convenience
and the New York women decided they had all
the smoke they needed now. Anyway one more
English lecturer has been set right on a few
things about America.

One woman asked another perfectly limo
cent question; "Tell me, my dear, where do you
buy your stockings" And just because that
question was asked in monograph recording
room when symphonic record being made,
and somehow another said innocent question
got across the microphone and into the record
well, anyhow over-particular people say the
record is ruined. If the answer had been re-
corded too, the record would probably be allowed
to live. Think of the fine advertising medium
such record offers!

John Randolph of the Edgerton
Enterprise arragns public officials for
the manner in which they administer
justice to pheasant hunters and drunk
ards. John says pheasant hunter
who violates state law is fined $4,000
while drunkard who violates the con-
stitution is only fined $1,000. John is,
right in his contentions-Lake Wilson
Pilot
Not too much for the pheasant hunter but
much "too less" for the drunkard But where
is it possible to get away with such light fine
las the latter?

Congressman Andersen has intro
duced bill providing for the survey
of the Minnesota river from the mouth
to New Ulm. The bill provides for six
foot channel and dams and reservoirs.
This is bill of Importance to LIE Sueur,
and every other town along the Mime
sofa river. The lie Sueur Commercial
club should get behind this project and
help put it over. The water way would
cut freight rates to the minimum, and
the music of the steam boat whistle
would be great.-Le Sueur Herald.
While Brother Andersen is about it he might
just as we'll clear things up right to North Red
wood at least We can't imagine anything more
romantic than to be able to again hear the whistle
of the sturdy steamboat echoing up and down the
valley

Arthur Brisbane quite likes the country
newspapers and certainly he appreciates their
value. This is what he says about u.s. "They
are the most important newspapers and incl
dentally in proportion to their circulation, their
advertising results are the biggest and their ad-
vertising rates are the smallest in the country.
They are read through from end to end. Every
copy of the circulation means an entire family,
not family that lives in one room with a can
opener, but family that owns its own home and
land around it, at least ninety times out of hun
dred family that buys everything from the roof
on the house to the cement the cellar floor,
with the hat on mothers head to the skates on
the boys feet. Country newspapers do not only
| pay well, but the service that their publishers
render to the public is, in my opinion, the most
important service rendered by any class of citi-
| zens in the United States"
