Coach Spears would make a line
man out of him next fall. Eds
attention was called to this item,

play any position which is assigned
to me and would consider myself
fortunate to do so. But all of the

fall with Capt. Joesting and his
mates, l played fullback. However,
if my services as lineman would
work out better in Coach Spears
scheme of things, believe me, | will
be glad to take my place he offers
me in the line. Bronka Nagursk,
mentioned by The Herald as pos
sible fullback, developed into one
of the greatest tackles Minnesota
ever has had, and I really believe
he will be continued as tackle.
Knoerr is a wonderful player at
fullback and anyone who takes the
position away from him next fall
will have to be pretty near joe
sting's calibre. Minnesota is go
ing to have another great team, l

make it, realize that the COM

Treasurer Schmahl Pleads
For Economy in 1928
Says Get-Rich-Quic Era Is Over
Now and New Period
Is at Hand.

Greater thrift and greater eff
ficiency on the part of all should
be cultivated in Minnesota during
1928 with greater emphasis than
ever before, says State Treasurer
julius A. Schmahl.
Through savings the state can
gain financial stability more quick
ly and more practically than by
any other natural method. Thrift
alone can aid to a large extent in
building up a reserve of prosper
ity.
The outlook for 1928 faced
frankly, holds prospects both good
and bad. Thriftiness in the lives
of our citizens, the discharging
of obligations already incurred,
and the acceptance by all individ-
uals and our ! government units
from the sovereign state to. the
smallest school district of a policy
of a rigid retrenchment, will help
us forward more than we can es-
innate. + p a~sS
From an economic standpoint
the past seven years constitute the
most serious period experienced
by Minnesota since depreciation
following the Civil war. Bank,
commercial and agricultural
groups have all been vitality af-
fected. -.
The cost of operation has not
been noticeably decreased, while
the cost of living has remained
almost at the war standard. The
burden of taxation has not been
reduced, and in a number of To-
calities has been so heavy as to
cause a general default.
The wealth created IN Minneso-
to during that period has been
largely diverted towards the auto
mobile and oil centers. In many
cases purchases Of this character
have created liabilities mortgage
ing future incomes.
1t is my belief that the strictest
care, economy and efficiency must
be exercised in Minnesota so that
we may have cause to say at the
end of the year that we are max
ing strides toward that stability
and prosperity we so earnestly
desire.
When the pioneers of old in our
own state faced changed condi-
tons they adapted themselves as
quickly as possible. Then they
buckled down to- work and soon
again the state as a whole would
be making rapid progress.
The state is still young, it's po-

rived at the. age in life when he
should allow some girl to cook for
him and him alone.
Walt Gritzmacher has been at
The Model and closely associated
with Ed Hansen so long that he is
hard to fool. He is not exactly
girl shy, but he is careful. He is
worth strenuous campaign.
That boy Tony Shoenhoff will
give any girl merry race before
he is landed. He likes the ladies,
but he loves his golf. He believes
it is good for man to be alone. But
there will come time some day.
Who can tell, this may be the year
While Paul Telling puts up a
good front, he is easy to approach.
Good food and winsome smile
will go long ways with that boy.
Fred Unger has been too busy
since he came to this city several
months ago from Melrose to pay
much attention to the ladies. He
is genial soul. Just what cline"
would be necessary to reach Mr..
Unger the Herald cannot advise.
Once landed it would be for keeps.
He has always had a good home
and should appreciate one of his
own.
Lawrence Dolson is easy to ap-
proach, and is not too bloomin'
bashful. The Herald believes he

least. The woman intuition should
tell how to proceed when the
conversational. stage has been
reached. f.. ... XXI.
Earl Peart would make some wo-
man mighty good husband. The
cuss is actually bashful and would
need lots of encouragement. He
is worth real campaign.
AL Meigs is heart whole fancy
free. He gives the ladies cordial
smile, but is unusually timid. With
proper encouragement he would
get over this. He would make a
good provider. .
Art McDermond would be sus-
ceptible to the right approach. He
is steady as clock, and more than
likely of an affectionate DISPOSE
ton. Any young woman who would
persuade Art that he was absolute
ly necessary to- her happiness can
lead him to the altar. ...- -.
There are a couple of guys in
the postoffice that need attention,
Bill Benson and Frank Bunker.
IT'S said Bill is a connoisseur of
the Fair Sex. He has looked over
a lot of them since the signing of
the Armistice but he hasn't, seen
them all yet. He has had several
serious symptoms, but in the last
analysis he has been just a play
boy. Bunker acts like an anna
teur around the ladies, but he
could learn. These fellows both
draw snug pay checks from Uncle
Sammy every month and could
support wives with little help. A
reward has been offered for the
capture of. Bunker.
There are many other eligibles
