One OF the Master Farmers OF iowa is a
bachelor. And the women of his state can't
imagine how he ever did it.
Many person who is as "true as the day
is long," gets into lot of mischief of one sort
or another after night shadows fall

The trouble with lot of the young moderns
is that they are looking on the road maps to
find the straight and narrow way-and it isn't
there.
University students had one whole day set
aside for them at the Twin City automobile show.
Quite useless, it appears to US. Those youngsters
already have plenty of talking points for new
car.
Einstein's new theory, all nicely set forth
in print, is selling in Berlin at twenty-five cents
copy We wouldn't buy it if it were selling for
fourth of that, nor know what it is all about
if we did.
In reporting the arrest and conviction of
Minneapolis woman on a charge Of selling intox-
icants, The Minneapolis Journal reported "She
has a job as SOUSE-keeper at a place on
Royalston street." That's once when typo
graphical error was no error at all.

The writer hereof will be much more en-
thusastic about writing trade home editorials
when we know that every merchant in this locali-
ty is having his envelopes printed by his home
printer instead of by the government.

There was time when "the blues' merely
meant dreary feelings, and confined them
to his own anatomy. Now the term signifies
drear and dismal vocalizings and the sufferer
brdadcasts them from the housetops-or the
public stage.
We hold no particular brief for the big cities
in fact we get awfully mad at 'em for some
of the things they do and the occasional "snooty"
attitude of them. But they do help when it comes
to paying taxes. ST. Louis paid into the state
last year $315,546 more than it received, accord
ing to the figures of State Treasurer, Julius A.
Schmahl. Hennepin county was second with an
excess of 1854, 748 over what it received, and
Ramsey county third with S164,166.

Talk about fussy women-they are not to
be mentioned in the same breath with real
fussy man. A masculine old maid wired from
Boston to a New York hotel and this is what
he said:
"Please arrange room on fifth floor fac
ing north, single bed twelve coat-hangers in
the closet, cane-seated chairs, shower run
ming icewater and cozy wallpaper. If clerk
on floor is huffy by nature, give same
type room on floor where there is clerk who
knows the value of a SMILE"

Jim Landy had wild burst of imagination
and wrote this, and then had the temerity to
credit it to "a Hector Man." 1t sounds nice and
iditoc, just like Jim, so know he did it. "a
Hector man." says Jim, who is strong on mathe-
mates, has figured out that if all the cattle we
ship to market each year were one cow, she
would browse the tropical vegetation along
the equator, while her tail would switch the
cicles off the North Pole. By the aid of higher
mathematics he has also made the discovery
that if all the hogs slaughter annually were
one hog, that animal could dig the Panama canal
in two roots and half and it's squeal would jar
the Aurora Borealis"

DR.. L. D. Coffman, president of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, is opposed to increasing stu
dent fees any more than can be avoided Stu
dents have come to him complaining Of fees al
ready demanded and that their complaints have
shown that high fees are keeping students out
of college entirely, or are delaying graduation
so that money with which to go may be
earned. Also they tell him that debts accumu-
lated through loans of one sort another delay
marriage past the age when university graduates
should be establishing themselves in homes and
communities. None of these things work out
well with these young men and women who must
be the recruits for best class of citizens, Mr.
Coffman says. The question is; shall these things
abide and the student fee further stepped up'
to meet encroaching needs or shall the state actu-
ally support this, it's greatest institution which
it non theoretically supports.
One frequently hears man say that he made
his own money and has a right to do with it as
he pleases
There was never more fallacious argument.
No man in civilized government or in civil
lized society can do as he pleases. Only persons
ignorant of the basic principles of government
and society would hold to that opinion.

ment he must give up certain rights. He must
