The Minneapolis Journal suggests an onion
wedding marathon as a little change from the
dance marathon. And little later the corn
husking marathon may become popular. We
say may" hopefully.
The civilized world is still long ways from
abandoning its love of barbaric display and love
of ostentation. One hundred twenty-one honor
airy pallbearers served last week at the burial
service of Minneapolitan.

Mrs. Gertrude M. Pattengall for nine years
Democratic National committee woman for
Maine, has repudiated Al Smith because of his
stand on the prohibition question. She is one of
many Democratic women who feel just that way
about it.
Most ordinary citizens will subscribe to the
following little platform irregardless of how
they voted in the primaries; "More employment
less work; more property, less taxes; more fun
less noise; more statesmen, fewer politicians;
more said, less talk"

niversary declares that the world needs men
and women possessing the wisdom that comes
with years of experience and that folks just be-

The Philadelphia Inquirer says that "sex
equality is what makes a lady passenger in a
transatlantic flight eclipse the pilots who got
her there" We don't know whether that's the
right place to put the blame for that sort of
darn foolishness but we'd like to see it placed

ton next claim to have done for us But Mr..
Howling couldn't understand where all your re-

try to give England credit for that.
After seeing the muddles that result every
two years when the country assessments are
made, we are becoming more and more convinc-
ed that county assessor is the only solution to
the difficulty of trying to make everybody pay
fairly his just dues. With Is men passing judy
ment on values in the county, there can be no
general valuation fair to all sections of the coun-
ty, and it is annually up to the board of re-

In the interests of fairness all around we believe
the appointment or election of county assess

We believe the farmers of Todd county will
hesitate before they vote for the uncertain con-
ditions which always follow change in admin

These prices all are largely due to the republi-
can tariff and the tariff is the first things the
democrats will change when they get into pow

summer eggs at 23c, beef cattle of all kinds at
surprisingly high prices and first class outlook

Thomas Schall is rapidly antagonizing even
those few friends who have been for him. The
process of elimination gets into action every time
