SMALL TOWN TALK

Civilizations big joke last week was giving
life sentence to man already condemned to

Length of average human life is on the in

Arguments about fuelless motors and Texas
hornless toads are gorgeous to listen to and en-
barassing to enter. In that they quite resem-

There is no sigh like unto the sigh of re-
lief with which income tax returns were mailed
at II AS P. M. Thursday. Along with the sigh
went prayer that the blamed thing might find
favor in the sight of one Mr.. Wilcutts.

Charley Cheney declared, the morning after
the Minneapolis caucuses that he didn't know,
when it was all over whether the Minneapolitans
were for Fred A. Hoover or Herbert Dickey.

terrific one.
And now comes the word that Colonel
Charles Lindbergh flunked his engineering at
Madison University and was among the most
brilliant of the English pupils of that institu-

Franklin F. Ellsworth, one time Republican
and many times candidate for this and that,
spoke to the Democratic committee of which he
is member. Franklin F's topic was "Why"
and was an alleged setting forth of reasons
why he is now wearing donkey instead of an
elephant 1t is too late to suggest but the adj
dition of "And How" would have helped out the
meagerness of the speakers topic.

And now people of both sexes are inclined
to argue less about County Keyserling's
statement that marriage makes serf"
and that in order to develop his genius man
must remain unmarried. Better stack it up
alongside all the stuff about companionate mar
rages and let it go at that We suspect that

married, is so much like her august father that
Keyserngs own married life has been bit diff

The Aged sitting on their shelves
With knitting and the cat
Make talk of Youth among themselves,

And twenty, and fool!

The other day an American girl renowned
Christianity and vowed to follow the principals
of Hinduism for the rest Of her life. All this
that she might marry picturesque Indian
Prince. The Prince already has two wives Re-
nouncing the simple and honest religion of
Christ seems fitting preliminary to
riage like that. But will going through the
rites of such RECOMMENDATION take from this girls

followed always? We are inclined to believe
the process is more complex.

Natural resources of Minnesota
belong to all the people of the state.
We, therefore, favor the enactment of
such legislation as will conserve the
states waterpower and the adoption of
definite state policy to bring this
about. Private corporations and indi-
viduals should not be allowed to con-
troll power rights and form a monopoly
thereof.".Farm Bureau Federation.
Could the above statement POSSIBLY be
aimed toward one E. w. Bachus? 1t seems
pointed enough to be aimed at something-or

Dr. John C. Acheson, president of Macales-
ter College, asks, "Can we wonder that the prob
lem of modern youth confronts us when we
are spending % per cent of our resources for
Injuries and less than three per cent for edu-
cation" And little further in the same adj
dress he made this statement" 1t is absolutely
unfair to denounce the rising generation in
wholesome fashion; it is generation of truth
seekers. The youth of today in many respects
