There are six hundred twenty muscles in
the human body. If you want to know where
each of them is, do some little thing like riding
horse for twenty miles or putting down the
stair carpet.
Democrats pin hopes on cities; see no chance
in rural districts"-says a headline in daily
paper. That's funny! We thought we had heard
was the only real farm relief offered the world
thus far.
The Lake Wilson Pilot has it all figured out
that Murray County farmers pay tax on each
quarter section of less than the price of three
gallons of gas each year for the support of their
county agent. Staying at home one Sunday af-
ternoon will do the trick.

The women of the United States will decide
who is going to be the next president. Ten
times as many women will vote this year than
have ever before in the history of the United
States. Men and women who have not voted for
years will be called into the fray by both sides.

Sometimes a town can over-advertise. Can
non Falls didn't have nearly as many people to
hear President Coolidge as it expected to have
Vast numbers were scared away by the repeat
ed statements that there would be 10000 cars
on the roads to Cannon Falls on that day. It
takes brave soul to start out in the face of a
predicted traffic jam like that.

Irving Fisher, professor of economics at
Yale, says the following in comparing the quail
ifications of Smith and Hoover; "a candidate
should be judged by what he can accomplish as
president. Governor Smith certainly has not had
Hoover's experience with our great national and
world problems, nor has he displayed Hoover's
knowledge of them" Mr. Fisher, be it said has
voted the Democratic ticket since 1912-but will
not do so November z, so he says.

We honor women who can achieve what the
women in the Providence of Saskatchewan are do
ing These sisters of ours on the north make
up almost the entire membership of the Saskat-
chewan Egg and Poultry Pool which handles
more than seventy per cent of the poultry pro-
ducts In the Province. The organization has
more than $4,000 members, the president is a
woman and the management is in the hands OF
women. We hope they demonstrate to the men
that it is possible to cooperate and also that it

Japan, with the highest baby
death rate in the world, appoints gov
eminent commission to remedy the evil.
This nation, with the highest death rate
of any civilized nation for mothers in
childbirth, does nothing to remedy the
evil and disgrace. But if there is NOR
tally among calves young pigs or
their mothers, see to that-Ex.
That's pretty bitter indictment. Maybe it's
up to the American women, who feel that they
have done something about this matter, to re-
double their efforts-and then redouble again.

! wonder whether anything in the
world is more stupid or indicative of
less intelligence, than for a woman to
buy what she does not in the least re-
quire, to get together lot of dresses
which she will never be able to wear
to buy dozens of hats which will go out
of fashion in few months, to cultivate
the taste of orchids at four dollars
each, to look for the most expensive
bathing salts on the market, the use of
which will add neither to her beauty
nor to her health, in short to cultivate
spending and to ignore saving.-Eliza-
beth Marbury in Delineator.
Stupid it is-and yet the world is full of
women who envy the women who do just this
sort of thing, thinking it is positive evidence
that they belong to the smart" cult.
The women of Ohio are upset because Theo-
dore Burton, candidate for the United State Sem
ate from that state, advocates bachelorhood for
the man who wants to be successful in his life's
work. The women all het up over it-some

seventy five years old he said something like
this;
