Urging the readers of his columns to give
generously to their family and friends during
the Christmas season Arthur Brisbane quotes
"That gave away, I have. That kept, Lost.
Which is fine sentiment-only it doesn't pay
the Christmas bills.
Senator Shipstead being person of big SEN
sibilities will probably look at it just as Vim
Weber does. lesser person would forget the
"debt of gratitude in remembering the non-sup-
porters and the unkind things said. Proof of
mans calibre is found in the way he reacts to
Observation-Disclosures.
Some rather harsh things have been said
about members of the negro crew of the steamer
Vestris who to port without some of the
passengers who started out with them. Some
of these harsh things undoubtedly merted.
But while remembering them let also remem-
Der the little negro quartermaster of the ship
Lionel Licorice, who took charge of one of the
lifeboats and has more than twenty rescues to
his own personal account.
Q*U
We used to think it didn't matter much
whether Minnesota roads were well graveled or
paved. But having driven from Redwood Falls
to Minneapolis via Henderson with fifty-two
miles of almost perfect paving at the end of the
trip, we are forced to declare we are all for the
paving. It costs little more but its worth it.
Let's have more of tiff we have to pay thirty or
f0v&x So
Ions, so be it. We repeat tits worth it!
Otto Kahn advocates use of the muscles of
the "soul' just as regularly as muscles of the
body are used. "The thing to strive for he says
is to keep keen zest, broad our interests,
warm our sympathies, responsive our senti-
ments for life and humankind. It has been said
that variety is the spice of life" but it is much
more than that. 1t is one of the very essentials
of correct diet of living just as variety of food
is essential of correct diet of nourishment."
Senator Henrik Shipstead is under great
debt of gratitude to the people of Minnesota.
They have given him the greatest majority for
public office given any man. 1t is sacred
trust. The eyes of the people of the state will
therefore, be more critically focused upon him
than ever before The Herald extends congratu-
lations to the Senator feeling that he will not be
found wanting in the faithful performance of his
most important duties.-Murray Co. Herald.

If you have paid your Red Cross member
ship land if you haven't it is still not too late)
it is time now for you to remember the colorful
little Christmas seal and to include it in your
Christmas shopping. Years ago the Red Cross
and the Christmas Seal were closely connected
But no longer is that true. Now the Christmas
Seal and the money brought by its sale are both
the property of the National tuberculosis Asso-
citation which is waging that greatest of all wars
the fight the Great White Plague which
is ION the front" of Minnesota with formidable
force. We need to fight it and fight hard-and
the CHEEKY little seal is the best weapon to our
hand.
This is what Gunnar B. Bjornson, state tax
commissioner, thinks about the county assessor
plan.
"Every state auditor Minnesota has
ever had for the last 60 years has advo-
Gated the county assessor method for
adoption generally within the state. 1t
would be a. greater improvement in our
taxation systems than has ever been
taken. 1t would give fair equality of
valuation for taxation basis at least
for each county and would provide the
possibility of instruction which might
also arrive at equality between
counties. And equality of valuation is
the prime essential in taxation"
The Sleepy Eye Herald Ditpatch tells this
one:
Speaking of the problem, "How to
make farming pay" we heard an unusu-
al story Monday from Joe Herzog,
formerly of this city, but now cashier
of bank at Bird Island, concerning
how Mexican had made tract of land
near that city pay. 1t seems the fellow
had been one of the laborers who helped
care for sugar beets there in years past,
but last spring he decided that if there
was money to be made in beets he would
make it himsef-and sure enough he
did He rented some forty acres,
