none till they home again.

The companionate marriage is evidently
designed to take all the responsibility out of
that particular form of partnership What's
left?
"Texan Will Swear Toad Was Encased in
Stone" says headline. Must be just another
of those terrible newspaper mistakes-no Texan
would ever swear!
Speed Holman, Gene Shank and Lyle Thro
may hold the record for looping the loop until
the campaign opens and then they can get a
thrill watching the politicians do it every time
ticklish question hobs up.-Pioneer Press.

Dean Inge says old truism in new way
when he tells that Every discovery pass

to be absurd; then to be contrary to Christianity;
thirdly told that everybody knew it be-

The fact that E. W. Backus, one of Mime
sofas arch nonconservationists is advocating
Lowden for president is one very good reason
why thoughtful Minnesotans should not approve
that candidacy. Besides that there are other
reasons.
1t very nice indeed to find the name of
Redwood County farmers on the Minnesota Dairy
Honor Roll Honor where honor is DUE and
the Gazette, like the Minneapolis Journal, hands
such honors to A. w. Park and Son, j. M. Sex
ton, R. M. Campbell, NJ NJ Juu E.. NJ Schwahn,
Otto Neuman and J. ]. Noting

Claude Mckenzie must always be up to his
ears in row of sort or another. If he
can't work up county-seat fight somewhere or
another he will sic couple of presidential can
didates onto each other. Claude isn't particular
so long as the fight is poppy. And having taken
on one in which he will cross swords with Ivan
Bowen he is likely to find plenty of that quality

When women set their minds to tits as
good as done! The case in point is the erection
of 100000 club house by the women of Mime
apolis. The home of the Minneapolis Wo-
mans Club, one of the finest in the United
States, was dedicated Tuesday of last week and
is monument to the ability, energy and COOP
Grafton exercised by the club members during the
past five years. Women are coming into their
Own-and the realization of the comforts of
clubhouses and the determination to provide this
comfort for themselves is sign of this coming
ness.
salesman says that Constant contact with
the public is fair equivalent of college educa-
tion." We don't believe it. The public as
girl in ten cent store, or a@boy behind a soda
fountain sees it is darned poor substitute for
an education of any sort unless it be an educa-
tion in general cussedness. There is too much
of that cheap sort of talk going around to dis
courage and dissuade youth of the present day
from its ambition to acquire knowledge and in
formation and contacts with the right sort of a
public.

Country newspapers continue to advise the
farmer to cooperate, they insist the tiller of
the soil cooperating, insinuating that this is
the real secret of success. It's about time some
OF these birds start cleaning up their door
yard. If there's place under the sun that needs
cooperation it is the small town. We hammer
cooperation to the farmer day in and day out
and never try to practice it in own village.
If there is place in the world to-day where
there is less cooperation than there is among
the business in the small towns we would
like to know its name.-Lake Wilson Pilot.

A borrowed book is like guest in the house;
it must be treated with punctiliousness, with
certain considerable formality. You must see that
it sustains no damage; it must not suffer while
under your roof. You cannot leave it careless
ly, you cannot mark it, you cannot turn down the
pages, you cannot use it Familiarity. And them
some day, although this is seldom done, you
really ought to return it. But your own books
belong to you; you treat them with that affec-
tionate intimacy that annihilates formality.
Books are for use not for show; you should own
no books that you are afraid to mark up, or
afraid to place the table, wide open and face
down. A good reason for marking favorite pas
sages in books is that this practice enables you
to remember more easily the significant say
ings, to refer to them quickly, and then in later
years it is like visiting forest where you once
blazed trail.-William Lyon Phelps.
