SMALL TOWN TALK

bed with of the well known flu, the read
ers of these columns will have to be content
with weak attempt from the Gazette editors.
Knowing that are unable to fill the shoes
of the Talker, and knowing that there may be
criticism instead of praise regarding the articles
that may appear on this page, we ask in all sim
cereity that this same criticism be directed to
the writer's. We also ask is that you read the
page if you care to and like it if able to.

Don't look for the price mark on your
Christmas gift-you may find it and what you
don't know won't hurt you
There are still few names that have not
been mentioned for the campaign of 1880. Some
one is not recognizing Opportunity-and June
drawing steadily nearer.
The most heartless Corporation in the world
is the Insurance company that sends you notice
that the insurance is due on December 25th. Of
all the days in the world to receive notice of
that kind; we have one, who wants it?

Minnesota's bill for automobiles, their up
keep and gas in 1927 is reported to have been
ten millions more than her income from wheat,
OATS rye, barley, corn, potatoes and hay. In
self defense the state has just got to milk more
cows-they saved the situation by producing
$140,000,000. The more we milk the more we
ride!
Probably one of the best pieces of newspaper
work produced in small town shop in Mime
sofa last week was the Christmas edition Of the
Dawson Sentinel Twenty EIGHT pages, well
filled with advertising, showing that the Dawson
merchants believe in their home town paper. The
Burgess brothers. Ted and Charlie set out to
make name for the Sentinel, they have sue
ceeded.
Dean Lyon of the University of Minnesota
School of Medicine says that the state has one
physician to about every eight hundred people.
That certainly isn't an over-crowded profession
as we are apt to be told. The trouble is in the
distribution of these doctors rather than their
number. They are prone to want to gather in
the larger towns and cities and become specialists
instead of taking of ordinary sick folks.

"The Vestris passengers prayed to God" said
one witness, testifying during the investigation
of the shipwreck. 1t is noticeable to observant
persons that regardless of the soothing and the
indifference of humans, when they are face to
face with death they turn to God for hep-not
to other humans, but to God whom they have
neglected and forsaken when life was running
smoothly. 1t is lesson well worth taking to
heart-Northwood Qa.) Anchor.

Some sort of an outfit up at St. Cloud, which
styles itself as "Credit Bureau" previously
by letters sent out attacks on the Salvation Army
and more recently a similar attack has been
made on the Christmas health seal sales plan.
This ST. Cloud outfit evidently is not "Credit
Bureau" at all, but more or less of dirty propa-
ganda bureau. If it stuck to the name under
which it operates, there would be no room for at
tacks on the organizations mentioned. The St
Cloud Chamber of Commerce, and rightly So
has denied any connection whatever, and it might
go further and set the so-called Credit Bureau
individual right some important subjects, fol
the attacks sent out have reflected considerably
on the city as a whole.-Le Sueur Center Leader
Reading in the city papers of the crowd, one is
tempted to call them mobs, of shoppers storming
the stores and jostling and crowding each other;
of frenzied groups of men gambling for millions
on the markets, one is tempted to think that the
Christmas season is but a mad and selfish rush
to get something somebody else wants before il
is all gone. If this was all there was to late
December it would hardly be worth the while and
the pessimist would be nearly right in thinking
that the world was so badly out of joint as to be
worth hardly the saving hollow, corrupt and
evil globe But with all of this modern eiviliza-
ton, when out of the glad Christmas tide there
will come new or renewed, determination thai
each life shall be fuller and richer IN service t.
his fellowmen and that the personal character
shall be more loyal, tender and true, then will al
the lesser forms of evil die out in grand burs
of melody and peace beyond that which thu
world has ever known rest upon and among thu
