Jumping at conclusions is about the only
mental exercise some people take

Senator Thomas Heflin will take the first
boat for Europe in case Al Smith is nominated
and Frank Murphy will bolt the Republican party
in case Hoover gets the nomination. How will

The CHEEKY little dandelion is with us again!
In fact it is so blamed much with us that if
there isn't speedy and concerted action on the
part of every property owner, Redwood Falls
will soon look upon the yellow blossoms as any,
thing but "cheery." The pestiferous plant is
tremendous menace to lawns, and neglected va
cant lots are already beginning to look like un-
used pasture lands Nothing will do but siren
uous work with knife and scythe and such chem
icals supposed to be effective. United eff
fort on the part of every man, woman and child
in town. and plenty of it is the answer if the
towns boasted beauty is not to be utterly lost
Why not Dandelion Day-or a municipal prize

The following little story from Rochester,

reals of propaganda, and constitutes the best
of all answers to Ben Lindsey's foolishness
Warren E. Fitzgerald was an ardent
diciple of companionate marriage
when he became manager of Judge Ben
Lindsey's debating tour the subject.
AS the tour progressed he grew more
Then he came to Rochester.
Judge Lindsey debated here with DR..
Clinton Wunder of the Baptist Temple.
Miss Thelma Smith, member of the
Temple staff, met Fitzgerald Miss
Smith believed in old fashioned wedlock.
Next day Fitzgerald announced his
conversion by DIR. Wunder, resigned his
managership, got job real estate

is some girl-and that she isn't getting all that
is coming to her in the way Of recognition from
her own family nor from the industrial world.
She never learned" any money. She
lives on a farm. She is somebody's
mother, maybe your own. She has earn
ed no money. No, but in her thirty work.
ing years she has served 235,435 meals;
she has made $3.50 garments, $500
loaves of bread, $3.50 cakes, 1850 pies,
1900 gallons of lard; she has grown
1,525 bushels of vegetables and 1850
quarts of fruits; she has raised 1860
chickens, churned $500 pounds of but
ter, put up 1925 jars of preserves,
scrubbed 177,725 pieces of laundry, and
has put in 35,640 hours sweeping, wash
ing and scrubbing.
At accepted prices this work is
worth $115,48550. She has no bank
account to show for it. She can't retire
on her savings; she has to keep on. Not
earning, no. How do you define the or
