We don't believe Tom Davis did the cause of
Governor Smith in Minnesota a whole lot of
good.
One of the slick city writer's gets off this
one: A hck town is where the city marshall
gets $50 month and lives on it. Suppose big
city is where the policemen get 5000 month and
banks $5OO.-Bob Forrest

Well, julius Schmahl "got by" with his usual
whooping big majority. Julius is accustomed
now to handling both big money and big votes
that he does it with surprising dexterity. We
can't imagine anyone being foolhardy as to
make real campaign against Julius with any
expectation Of winning. 1t just isn't done.

Billy Noonan says that he heard man say
prior to the election that 81 would like nothing
better than to stand up before an audience of
women and tell them they have no right to vote. !"
Bill, who is the discreetest and most consistent
of "old patches" says that for his own part he
would just as soon visit a beehive when the
bees are at home" Bill certainly has timid-
ity complex.
The Pilot hopes that the next legislature
will make changes in the election law
This idea of opening the polls at a.. m. in a
village of this size and keeping them open until
p. m. is farce. The polls in small villages
should open at a. M and close at p. m. Min

And now it is time to think about Thanks
giving and the Red Cross Roll Call and a few
really important things like that. Let's clear
the decks Of the rubbish of hatred and mistrust
that gathered during the late lamented campaign
and get down to doing something really con-
structive and cooperative. And we can't do it
with either pride prejudice floating around in
our minds and souls. Time to wipe the slate
clean and start something fresh and new, and
hearty with the love of humanity.

"Do you remember way back when every
grocery store kept counter cigar box full
of cheap tobacco which was free to customers?
asks Lud Roe Of the Montevideo News, going
long ways back. "There was an unwrtten law"
he goes on to say, "that each customer should
take only one ppefu And there were one or
two unethical, tghtwad, town characters who
made the rounds Of all the grocery stores every
morning and laid up days supply of tobacco.
And then they retired to a shoe repair shop and
complained about the high taxes on property
which they didn't have"
It's nice in these days when there are still
a lot of sore spots to remember that one of the
finest tributes ever paid to Herbert Hoover was
said by Cardinal MERCER of Belgium who said:
"Mr. Hoover-Ah, there's mania man
the world needs for it needs syntethic vision. The
masses are crying for understanding and con-
structive help, and yet one after the other pro-
gram fails because those who launch them lack
the capacity for the circumferential view and for
correlation which Belgium's friend has. He is
one of the few men living today whose magma
ton visions the whole, and who having seen the
goal, can create to its attainment and drive to
it,"
Up at Thief River Falls they are going in for
turkey raising scientific basis and last week
interested men and women spent the day visit
ing the flocks of birds which had been raised ac-
cording to the Billings confinement PLAN" Some
of these flocks number as high as $50 birds and
from that down to of 80. Under the plan
records have been kept of all expenses just as
carefully as the stock man records his-and the
story of the profit loss will be just as accur-
ate. DR.. Billings, the turkey expert was

If a merchant wanted to sell his store he
would not be continually telling how ppor the
trade, either would a manufacturer desiring to
dispose of his factory indicate that the orders
were falling off every day. For several years
now everyone has been telling that farming did
not pay, that the products of the soil were SELL
ing for less than cost. The result has been that
farming land has been drug on the market with
