An American Admiral says Lindy's trip to
Europe was ninety five per cent pure luck But

folks the Indy thrill.

An anti-saloon league is proposed for New
York. The San Diego Union says that this is
the first intimation have had that the League

And now the dairy cow is going to produce
ivory and celluloid, we are told by no less an
dairy division of the University of Minnesota.
Guess the "beef type" man will have hard time
to laugh that off.
neighboring paper asks its readers to look
over the personal property tax list and find how
much the mail order houses or blank book print
ing firms in the large cities contributed to the
support of the county. That's good sugges
tion.-Levang's Weekly.
Renville County and the Seventh District is
chock full of candidates for Congress. The Sew
enth should emulate the Second-elect good
man to Congress and keep him there without in
terrupting his term of service. The Seventh had
such a man in A. ]. Volstead- it made the
mistake of trying change-and then its trouble
started.

cold may be caught in many seemingly
innocent ways, the kill-joy physicians tell u.s.
They even say that kissing pretty girl may
give one the sneezes and wheezes. Sounds to us
like much more agreeable way to catch one
than to get it by standing in night clothes and a
chilly hall answering a telephone call at mid
night.
Tom Davis has made the statement that
there are 100 "blind pigs" operating within a
quarter of a mile of the Nicollet hotel and Rev.
Roy l.. Smith, member of the next grand jury
IN Minneapolis threatens an investigation of
Toms statement by that body. Sounds like an
interesting scrap-with the Reverend Roy and
the brilliant Tom antagonists.

The first blow for democracy has been struck
in Minnesota! John Kaspar of Faribault got so
excited in an argument in which he was support
ing AL Smith that he brought his fist down en-
phaticay upon the table and broke the bones
of his hand If this ardor keeps up we may be
able to witness a real old time rally with torch
lights, 'neverthing before this thing is over.

To decide the ownership of collie dog cost
the city of Minneapolis more than $3.50. That
would have bought good many pairs of shoes
for no oh of +Lo o;+x,
is only instance in one city of all the expen-
sive, useless and utterly foolish cases taken in
to court. But if the tax payers enjoy that sort
of fun, they and their neighbors must pay for it.

Smaller cities of Minnesota are rapidly adopt
ing the community chest plan first put into prac-
tlce in Minneapolis. 1t seems to work just as
well and to prove just as much of an asset in
smaller places as in the larger ones. Mortified
is the latest city to adopt it in an effort to over
come the disagreeableness of numerous drives
and campaigns for charitable and social agen-
cies.

An editorial column in a neighboring paper
recently carried comment about editors of the
state shining" in Minneapolis, attending the
state meeting while some of their devils were
looking after the print shops and trying to
meet the "pay roles" at the end of the week. In
answer to this, August Erickson, Springfield's
brilliant editor, states in part "And if the stay
at-homes would get out and take home some
of the pointers one gets at these meetings, they
wouldn't have so much trouble meeting the "pay
role" at the end of each week. The hardware
men, implement dealers, druggists, lawyers
doctors and other live businessmen go to their
conventions and learn something. So do the edi-
tors, that is, most of them"

The following beautiful lines are from the
pen of Stafford King, American Legion member

you, too, can grasp the meaning and and inspira-
ton that came to the writer: 81 believe there is
a God. He is supreme. He is the ruler of the
Universe. His hand guides the destiny of men
and nations He builds according to His PLAN

in the snow of winter and in the rain of spring,
in the sturdy pine and in the fragile lily. Night
times, beside dying camp fire, have seen Him
