Two inmates of the Martin County poor home
have fallen in love with each other and wish to
be married, but haven't the price of marriage
license and the county board refuses to come
across with the fee. Love may laugh at lock-
smiths, but when a tghtfisted county board holds
the key to the situation, it's different Spring.

Mr.. Bob Primeval prime eviD Forrest, the
erudite Lake Wilson pilot, is doubtful if Mr..
Nathan Hale" Thompson will make success of
the Mississippi flood control. In commenting on
the important issue, Bob says, eff Mayor Thomp-
son makes as good job of controlling the Mis-
sissippi floods as he did in banishing crime from
Chicago, the Mississippi river will run back

Minnesota is entitled to seven delegates-at-
large to the Republican national convention at
Kansas City. Custom has ordained that the dele
gates-at-arge should be party leaders who have
rendered outstanding service in the affairs of
their party. Upon this basis the Herald would
like to suggest two persons who are particular
ly deserving of the honor of serving their party
as delegates-at-large at Kansas City next June.
One of these is Mr.. Ludwig 1. Roe, of Monte
video, now private secretary to Governor Chris
tianson who as chairman of the Republican
State Central committee hos rendered signal
service to his party. The other is Mrs. ]. K.
Campbell of Slayton, secretary of the Republican
State Central committee has rendered signal
equally distinguished service to her party par
ticularly in her work among the women of the
state. Both of these leaders are richly deserv-
ing of the honor that would thus be conferred
upon them. They have been treless in their
efforts on behalf of their party and have rem
dered invaluable service. Neither is an avowed
candidate, nor should it be necessary for them
to make campaign for the position. The Re-
publicans of Minnesota owe them this recogni-
ton, and their selection should take place with
out effort on their part and without opposition.
Both should be conceded a place on the state
delegation without the asking. 1t is their due
as reward of faithful and efficient service

The basketball game at New Ulm last Fri
day night marked the passing from high school
athletics two of the foremost athletes the local
school has had enrolled in years. Clifford Ar
nett leaves the Redwood Falls high school in
June and will play no more under the colors of
the Cardinal and White this season because of
age limit. While playing for the local school
Arnett, has, at all times, conducted himself
good sport gentleman and a good loser. He
has made letters in basketball and football each
year for three years and was one of the main
stays of both teams the past two years. Going
with Arnett in June will be John Kreiger.
Kreger, the same type of true sportsman as
Arnett developed slowly in athletics but the past
year showed great Improvement in the two ma
jor sports; so great in fact, that he was consid-
cred one of the best in the school, The regret
of losing these two gentlemen is greatly over
Swallowed by the fact that they will carry into
the world with them the principles and teachings
of clean education of which Redwood Falls is
justly proud. To you we doff our hats and are
proud to do so. Goodbye and good luck!

newspaper specialist of the University of Okla
homa, asks who reads the newspapers. He
starts with:

them. All he knows, he says, is what
he sees in the newspapers, but most of
us are not so frank about it as Will.
president of a great state university,
the oldest state university in the coun-
try, admitted recently that he, too,
reads the newspapers, but he questioned
whether our schools and colleges have
recognized fully enough the great edu-
