1t looks as though Lindbergh and his fiancee
(if such she isl to be subjected to all the
humiliation of disgusting publicity just as Gene
Tunney and his bride were. The nation worships
Indy but not enough to give him the one thing

not pleasant commentary on American hero

Senator Tom Schall has already cast his hat
into the ring for two years hence, at which time
he says he is prepared to contest honors with
Governor Christensen, whom, it is said, will op-
pose him.
If Governor Ted files for the Senate Mr..
Schal may well hang up his hat, lock up his
flat and stay at home, for he will be given the
most ignominous defeat ever accorded candi-
date.-Slayton Herald
Glad are to have the members of our
own recognized in public office we can't help
but feel it is little too bad that George Herried
of Deer River has been kept out of the state
legislation where during his one term he showed
himself man of value to the state as whole
even though his own district did fail to return
him there. Mr.. Herried was defeated two years
ago and again this year by Mrs. Rosana c.
Payne of Ballclub. Both times the vote has been
extremely close; in 1926 the majority was only

More than 100000 has been saved in the
banks of Washington alone through the Christ
mas clubs of the city and the thrifty souls who
have made their deposits regularly each week
will cash in within the next two weeks and each
be given sum more less adequate to meet
the extra expenses of the coming holiday. There
are 83,178 such depositors and the gain the past
year in Washington is more than a million dol
lars. 1t is good time to begin to think about
following the example of these Westinghouse
before the next Christmas rolls around and
catches us all unprepared as usual

Redwood county reaches across the border
with congratuatory hand to Senator L. E.
Potter who is one of this years crop of Master
Farmers This is the second such honor in the
Potter family, the "Missus" having been made
Master Homemaker last year. Of course it is
not ungratifying to the Small Town Talker that
the first honors came to the feminine side of the
Potter home. But that doesn't make us any the
less happy that Dad who has always fought the
good fight of a good agriculturist, should have
come into his own too. Last years Master in
this locality, while postmarked from Springfield
was really Redwood County's own Frank Shelf
field and claim him for the honor of the old
county. But this year we are willing to concede
the honor to Brown county-and also to the
Springfield postmark for second time.

Who says ever grow up? In these days
of paying off freak election bets nobody would be
believed if he did say it. Up at Northorne one
man had to push another five miles in wheel

Only in his case he had musical accompaniment
during the whole weary trip since he was accom-
panied by clown band composed of the leading
citizens of his town and whole cavalcade of
automobiles crept along behind. Over at Mar
shall B. B. Gislason, who should have known bet
ter than to bet the way he did in the first place,
had to stand on a street corner and crate on the
wonders of Hoover and the administration he will
give. Another citizen of Lyon county was
pledged to eat all the "gamal ost" (whatever
that isl that the winner chose to place before
him. And so on-all by way of proving that
men belong to the thoughtful, earnest and SER

not?
When the people of Minnesota get rested up
a bit from what Charley Cheney calls ''the re,
cent nightmare" they going to begin to look
around and see what is to be done by way of
getting ready for the 1880 campaign. This is
how Charley Cheney sees the coming contest for
the senator who will succeed Tom Schall-pro-
vided Tom doesn't succeed himself
Senator Thomas D. Schall is up for
reelection next time, and about all he
did in the past campaign was to an
nounce his candidacy for 1880. Every
body is expecting Governor Theodore
Christensen to file against him. The
senator has that notion and has discussed
the matter publicly already. This has
the makings of good primary fight. A
rumor is started by the Blue Earth
Post that ]. A. A. Burnquist will take
another fier at the senatorship. being
encouraged by the good run made last
June. That would complicate things
