The only reason one half of the world doesn't
know how the other half lives, is because the first
half hasn't the money to investigate the second.

We ran across small boy the other day
bearing the name of Herbert Hoover Won't it
be annoying if his mail gets mixed with that of
the president of the United States after March
4, 1929?
"What Is A Republican queries writer to
one of the Twin City papers. We know of at
least two people in Redwood Falls of whom we
would be positively afraid to ask this question.
We have no desire to start confagration.
There are two things which are mighty
hard to do these days. The first is to study geo.
graphy fast enough to keep up with Lindbergh's
flights, and the second is to keep all the bills
paid up and get enough ahead for the March
first taxes.
The Mankato Free Press calls our attention
to the fact that there are some three hundred
shopping days before next Christmas. If we'd
each start out and buy one gift each day we
cousins and our nieces and out aunts. But we
all prefer to wait until Christmas eve.

Will Rogers expresses the opinion of many
of us on the practices of the United States GRIM
inal court procedure when he says, "This MUIR
derer out here Hickman, has confessed, so it
is going to be long drawn out trial. It's going
to be fight to the finish between alienists and
the photographers.
The Khan is going to wear masks in pub
lie hereafter. That sounds one of the notes of
the Klan's death hymn. Without masks there
won't be any masquerade, and without mas
querade there won't be any mystery, and with
out mystery there won't be any fun or excite
ment-and the Khan can't exist long without
those two elements.
Not all poets lie all the time, but most of
them lie some of the time. For instance Eddy
Guest writes a poem of three four stanzas
telling how he just loves trying to keep his nine
year old boy properly shod, and how he deems it
a privilege to buy shoes for the kid. Eddy is
either a careless handler of the truth or he just
amt all there mentally.

"There is height above which an
airpane cannot go, because, the plane
rises the air finally gets too thin to hold
up the wings."-Exchange.
1t was probably necessary to bring about
this condition so that there might be little
space reserved in which the angels can take their
daily exercise without being in too heavy traffic.

Burnquist in private life man may be, his
friends are forced to admit that in his campaign
to go to the United States Senate Mr.. Burnquist
will get just about far as the editor of the
Fairmont Sentinel would if he were to enter the
race for superintendent of a Baptist Sunday
School. Minnesota's war governor has been out
of the public life too long time to come back
all of sudden.

Sometimes, in fact often, patience and kind
ness is rewarded. Both are true in the instance
of the deer recently recaptured and put back
with the Ramsey Park herd after absence of
two years. The patience in this instance was
practiced by A. j. Potter, the superintendent of
the Park, and the public in spite Of its fondness
for excitement land venison), was kind enough
to leave the deer entirely alone at Mr.. Potter's
request. After two years of liberty the little
animal is again under restraint, and now will
have an opportunity to decide which is the bet
ter-captivity and companionshp of its kind, or
liberty and loneliness.

Rudolph Lee has mighty good sense which he
says in his Long Prairie Leader:
"A less conscientious man than Cover
nor Christensen would now have left
the reorganization plan to shift for it
self, especially if his political advance
ment suggested such a course, but not
so with Theodore Christianson. The re-
organization plan needs the guiding
hand of its author at least another two
years to insure perfection as to detail
and the governor stays on the job.
Once more he has shown his devotion to
duty and to the welfare of our state"

A. j. Rockne of Zumbrota, who has for so
many years lead the Appropriations Committee
of the State Senate through dark and stormy
seas is a possible and probable and very formid-
able candidate for the United States Senate
