Ode to Pretty Miss
(By Carl Phillips)
There's a pretty hasher in our
Who is cute as she can be;
It's well known fact that I love
her
And that she's quite fond of me.
Now this lady and /, of whom /
speak,
Go out on many lark,
But we do our lovin' in the day
We're afraid Of each other after
dark.
My lady and me, when 1 go to eat,
Sure have the gooddest time;
/ Just look over the bill-of-fare
And pass out hot line
She smiles SO nice,
And holds my hand,
And fills me with emotion
And the guy | live with he gets
And calls Miss M "slow
motion"
But we don't care what the others
think
Me. and my hasher and I,
We think highly each of each
Something we won't deny
But tho we love to pet and spoon
And neck, and kiss, and fight
We do our lovin' in the day
We're afraid of each other at
night.

Farmers to Pay $4,000

Farm. Bureau Says Prospects Ct
Big Crop Yield Will Gail tor
Many Men

Minnesota's great annual Far
vest season now is on and from all
quarters of the state reports of
prospective big grain yields are be-
ing received at the headquarters of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton at st. Paul. Unless rust and
hail repeat the havoc caused last
year at this time, the 1928 Min
nesota grain yield will be a very
large one.
During the past week an army
of harvest hands from the winter
wheat belt to the south began
moving into Minnesota, travelling
mainly in collegiate fiivvers, equip
ped with barn lanterns in place of
the usual auto lights.
From Luverne and Pipestone,
Worthington, Jackson, Fairmont
Blue Earth, Window, st. James,
Mankato, Albert Leae, Rochester,
Austin and other points came news
of the movement of the harvest
hand host, travelling northward in
to the state by the hundreds. This
peaceful invasion of the state as
sures an ample supply of farm
labor for August in all sections of
the state.
A new element in this years
harvest hand crew coming into
Minnesota are several auto loads
of Mexicans, who have worked
their way northward during the
year from old Mexico through Tex
as, Oklahoma, Kansas and Ne
braska into Minnesota, following
the grain harvest all the way.
These thousands of farm hands
will put money in circulation in
every village and town in the
state, as fast as they are paid
their daily and weekly wages.
Minnesota farmers will pay Out
more than two million dollars in
harvest wages this year, according
to an estimate compiled by j. S
iJones of st. Paul, executive secre
ltary of the state Farm Bureau.

Makeshift Auto Tags Are
Not Legal in Minnesota
Use of Dealers Plates to Avoid
Paying Full Fee Is Also Con-
trary to Law.

During the month of July there
are more License Applied for"
and other home made auto tags
than in any other month. The rea-
son, according to State Highway
department bulletin, is that after
August l the license rate is only
one half the regular rate, and
many people who buy cars this
month want to drive them right
away but postpone buying a license
until August.
There is only one legal substi-
tute for the regular license plates
and that is the certificate provided
|by law for temporary operation of
a car while waiting fo- the license
plates. This can be issued only by
duly authorized deputies of the
Sec tary of State, roon forms
pr divided for that purpose, and only
after the license fee has beer paid
and forwarded 10 :.,e Secretary Of
States office. Home made signs,
affidavits, or penn is ISSUED by
unauthorized persons have no
stsrdlng in law.

privilege is also more frequent in
July than any other month, az
:ording to reports received By the
Highway department. Dealers
plates can be used legally only en-
machines being demonstrated to
prospective custmers, or while
moving machines from the factory
to the dealers place of business or
warehouse. Use of dealers plates
by car owners this month to get
the benefit of the half-ra1e August
1 is contrary to law.

al authorities were attempting to de-
termine tho value Of other mail stol-
on. including q number Of registered

The amount of checks was fixed
by Olin M. Atterbury. deputy COVER
nor Of tho st. Louis Federal Reserve
hank. H. said the hanks involved
would b put to considerable trouble
but would lose nothing through the
theft.
The two bandits. neatly attired
and wearing handkerchiefs fot
masks. crowded Graham's automo.
bile to the curb and forced him to
stop. One man leaped onto his
truck and removed Graham's revolv-
er and forced Graham and his wife
to leave the truck. The mail pouche.
three intended for Chicago. one for
Peoria and the other for Springfield
ILL.,, were transferred to the bandi,
auto. and they sped away. The
Grahams. forced into a cornfiela
could give no description OF the
bandits.
Some Of the postal inspectors in.
vestigating the robbery expressed
the belief the holdup was accom-.
plisbed by amateurs. The govern.
ment does not accept shipments oI
cash by registered airmail. Post
master A. J. Michener said the cash
loss would be small because of thii
practice and confined to possibly 9
