day. The Boston Transcript suggests that what
he doesn't know is probably the only thing worth
knowing.
Scientists and educators agree that every
child has right to be well born in decent
home. But after the child is born is trifle late
for arranging these details.
There is new kind of breach of promise
suit abroad in the land. A California dietst says
that Mae Murray promised to diet under his dir
ections for six months at a weekly charge of
$780, Mae hankered after the luscious pork
chop, broke her promise and is now being sued
for $2,925.
Mortified last week shipped $4,000 worth
of purebred Holstens to Pennsylvania. The men
of the Mortified community have worked to-
gether, have advertised judiciously and built up
national reputation for fine dairy cattle. It is
just another example of successful team work
in producing and marketing farm products.
1t has never been Ted Christianson's policy
to make or answer political attacks during a
political campaign. Ted has no intention of
mapping out new policy in this respect just
because George T. Simpson chooses to make some
insinuations. The things Simpson has said will
die; they can't even live, let alone thrive, with
out opposition and Ted and his friends refuse to
furnish that.
Evidently New Ulm has mind to rival St.
Peter and step out and get few governors all
its own. With Fred Pfaender on one ticket and
Dr. Fritsche on another the Minnesota Milwaukee
should get something-unless it's citizens have
made mistake in their tickets! Anyway a lit
tie publicity won't do New Ulm a bit of HARM
and her citizens always know how to make good
use of anything they get along that line. AS
for Redwood Falls-well over here we are sat-
isfied just to have a mere Congressman. He is
so permanent and sure!
Public charges in 10 state institutions reach
ed the highest number in history last month in
spite of reduction in the number of inmates in
penal institutions, according to a survey COM
pleted by the state board of control. A total
of 1922 persons were public charges during
April, compared with 1927 year ago. Most
of the increases have come in the population of
the state insane hospitals, where the April GEN.
sus showed 1868 patients against 7,458 on
July l, 1927. The largest population at any
single center is reported at the Faribault insti-
tuition for the feeble minded where the total is
1881.
Over in England they are raising a terrible
fuss over old Confederate bonds, which the Eng
lish feel should be repaid by the United States
government In the first place we cannot see
why this nation should be expected to pay the
debts of nation that never recognized by
the United States, and which is now nonexst-
ent. The joke of the whole affair is that they
demand accrued interest to the present date.
We would suggest that someone get busy and
dig up some old continental currency, issued dur
ing the time that the states were in rebellion
against Great Britain. Pay up the confederate
bonds in that kind Of money.-Cottonwood Coun-
ty Citizen.
Arthur Brisbane is death against gambling
on the stock exchange or anywhere else. Last
week he presented the same old argument in a
brand new way.
"A small plot corner of Wall street
and Broadway, across from Trinity
church, sells for 100000, $576 square
foot. At that rate grave 10 feet long,
four feet wide, would cost $685. Many
a man has paid more than that to be
buried, financially, in that neighborhood
Ask the ghosts that squeak and gibber at
the back door of the stock exchange
when the clock strikes IL above Trinity's
graves And don't gamble"

or to keep the word you pledged when you receiv-
ed the goods which he furnished. Your creditor
may owe for the goods he has sold you. He ex-
tended credit on the assumption that you would
pay him in time to meet his obligations to his
jobber. If he fails to make cash payment to
his jobber he must issue his note at interest.
Credit is the most precious thing you have.
Credit comes only through years of honesty and
prompt meeting of bills when they are due. When
you receive bill meet it when you agreed to, if
you possibly can If you can not, frankly tell
your creditor why. You will find him more than
lready to meet You half way.-Ievang's Weekly.
