WE'LL There have been some rather startling ex-
amples of this. We suspect it's because the men,

"Quit that quittn'," said the one at the front
'The trouble is" said the one at the rear, "Yo1l

If the readers of Minnesota country weeklies
will read the series of articles by John Stone
Pardee they will learn some things about the his
tory and resources of their state that have long
been neglected in their study. Well written and
authoritive Mr.. Pardee's articles are well worth
a careful reading each week. The Gazette is
one of the many papers offering this opportunity
to its readers.
Phil Leisch or H. H. Walters or who ever
it is who writes the editorial paragraphs for the
New Ulm Journal said a good thing when he

who brought light into dark, dismal and cold
places of the globe, is dead in the belief of the

The little item telling about julius A.
Schmahl soliciting q Gazette subscription from
N. B. Andersen many years ago, has caused some
comment all about the flight of time and how
things do change. Sometime biographer of
ability win gather together the coorful life story
of this man whose history is so interviewer with
the growth of his state. Then there will be q
real contribution to Minnesotas written history
in "The Biography of julius A. Schmahl" In the

information and whatnot even if he has ceased
to collect subscriptions.
