Peter had no adventure in getting
back to the dear Old Briar-patch. He
found little Mrs. Peter anxiously look

Meadows. oh. Peter, she cried,
where have you been? I've been Wor-

"Pooh!" exclaimed Peter. You should
never worry about me. You remember
what Reddy Fox told us about the
good things up at Farmer Browns

the most wonderful feast, my dear.
You must go up there with me-"

Black Pussy didn't even so much as

A POOR SPORT

As cleaned from the columns of the
Pine Poker, Matt Poferl of Pine City,
has gone to considerable trouble to fix
up a winter play ground for the young
folks of that community, having pro-
vided rink, warming house, ski
jump, ETC., near the river west of that
village. This is certainly commune
ty benefit and especially to the young
er class and shows Mr. Poferl's gener-
osity and consideration.
But one night recently Mr.. Poferl
did not go to the rink and as is gen.
orally the case, there was zone Judas
among every twelve disciples" This
Judas among, we don't know how
many, this time broke open the lock
on the warming house and did con-
siderable damage to the property. Is
this doing the right thing toward a
man, who has befriended one? We
ask this to the more human side of
the villain who perpetrated the deed,
ii he be intelligent enough to read
this. There is at least one of this
class of humanity in every neighbor-
hood and this is just another form of
crime that can be compared with that

LEGION SEEKS LAWS
FROM LEGISLATORS

In behalf of $4,000 Minnesota Lee
gion and Legion Auxiliary members,
their state legislative chairman, Ray
Engan of Luverne and Mrs. w. ID.
Villars of st. Paul, have placed in the
hands of every Minnesota legislator
the Legion's 1929 program of state
and national legislation.
Over 400 local Legion posts and as
many local Legion Auxiliary units
are voicing their wish that Legislators
give this program their support; at
the same time expressing appreciation
of past cooperation and of the gen
erouS manner i'm which the North
Star State has always dealt with its
veterans.
The program includes twelve state
planks and about as many national
measures. They deal with conserva-
ton of state resources; soil surveys:
opposition to the damming of boundary
waters and to the adjustment of
military training at the university;
child welfare proposals: relief for
widowed mothers of veterans; and the
changing of fishing and hunting open
ing dates so as not to detract from
the observance of Memorial and Ar
mistice days.

THING is BACKFIRING
(Mille Laos County Times)

The people who originated the "Min-
nesota plan" of farm relief are the
same ones who claimed some years
ago that the farmers did not need any
relief; that the trouble was caused by
radical agitatOrs who were preach
ing discomfort" That all of the discus
sion of the plight into which the farm
ing business was going was "destruc-
tive criticism" Then as conditions
became more acute in agriculture and
could not be easily lodged they claim
ed that what was needed was more
advice on how to grow bigger crops
and make two blades of grass grow
where one grew before" When it be-
came evident that the increased pro-
ductiOn was only aggravating the
farmers problems they then turned
to the idea that he must not have
government aid in dispOsing of his
surplus, but was advised to sell his
products comparatively" as remedy.
they knew full well how difficult it is
to organize comparatively, and how
easy it is to break up cO-operatives.
The farmers who understood the
problem knew that nothing. short of
government assistance in handling
the surplus would help them, but the
politicians have used every means for
defeating any such assistance at the
behest of the spectators in farm pro-
ducts. And now the Minnesota plan
is another son thrown at the farmers
by the politicians and spectators in
an effort to placate them with less
than is necessary to bring real relief.
However, they are finding it hard to
convince the farmers that an equali-
ZatiOn fee to care for the surplus is
not necessary. Their effort to "edu-
cate the farmer" is backfring.

and determination to win is needed to
carry on to a successful degree.
On one hand we have the poor boy,
with barely the necessities of life
and certainly not the sustenance that
will enable him to get an education.
But even at the worst. his condition
cannot compare with that of Abraham
Lincoln. His should be easy COM
pared with the frontier conditions of
the early eighties.
On >the other hand the well-to-do
youth of the country today has the
same outlook in life that was George
Washington's. He can be of much
help to humanity, if he will but take
heed to the deeds and the acts laid
down in history as accomplished by
this man.
Whether we be in the flOwery walk
of life or whether our pathway is
strewn with thorns, we CAM realize
that,
Lives of great men oft remind us,
We can make our lives sublime
And departing leave behind us,
Footprints on the sands of time"

SIT. VALENTINES DAY

1t has long been the custom to OBJ
serve st. Valentines day on Feb 14th
in this country by exchanging comical
or sentimental valentines.
st. Valentine, saint of the Roman
calendar was said to have been mar
tyred in 306 A. D. The custom of
exchanging valentines on this day has
been accidentally associated with his
name. On the eve of st. Valentines
day, woung people used to meet and
each drew from a lot of names of the
opposite sex, which had been placed
in a common receptacle. Thus each
gentleman received a lady for his
valentine and remained bound to the
service of this valentine for one year
This of course has been changed con-
siderably and the only meaning that
the day has now to the average per-
son is for an outlet of mirth

OUR OWN SITUATION

Since the Prince of Wales has found
conditions in the mining districts of
England to be in such a deplOrable
state, it causes one to wonder if cOndi-
tiOns in the United States are as they
seem from outward appearances. AL
though reports come occasionally from
the larger cities with descriptions of
the unemployment situation, it
certainly can't be as bad as that of
the English mining districts Of
course among upward of 10000. 900
of people. there are bound to be indi-
vidual cases where poverty is very
acute, but this is only the condition
for very short interval at a time.
Although WEI have unemployment
and poverty at times, as whole the
United States is at the present ade-
quately living up to its almost pro-
verbal reputation of being the land
of promise. But, on the other hand it
is well that the citizens and the gov
eminent of this country do all in their
power to keep conditions here on the

NEED THERE BE FAILURES!
christian Science MOnitOr)

One thing person should learn in
school is confidence i'm his ability to
do something worth while. Yet it is
estimated that over 100000 boys and
girls in the schools of the United
States are failed" every year. This
would not be so serious were it not
for the fact that the majority of these
young folks are left to believe that
they are hopelessly stupid. One thing
that children should not learn in
school is inferiority-or failure and
the fear of inherent inability.
This condition is so contrary to the
best and latest concepts of education
that the editor of the Journal of the
National Education Association de-
clares in the January issue that fail
ureS will not be allowed in the school
of tomorrow. For children are now
failed in the very institutions which
are established to teach them success,
and this is the crime eternal against
childhood" The school of tomorrow
will not consider its task complete
until all children of school age are
fitted successfully into the activities
of citizenship and vocation

TWO BIRTHDAYS CELEBRATED

Col Charles Lindbergh celebrated
his eth birthday while inaugurating
the United States-Central America
air mail route. 1t is very appropriate
that so great flyer and modest young
man be sent into the regions of our
South American neighbors to open and
establish air connections with them.
The maiden flight of this great
achievement made by the Colonel will
do more to cement the friendship OF
the various countries visited than
months of the old system of di-
plOmacy.
1t has long been the dream of Col.
Lindbergh to see this and other air
ways inaugurated and his part in help
ing to advance this project will have
a decided and lasting influence upon
the nations of this continent. The
two birthdays were fittingly celebrated
the 9th for Lindbergh and the
birth of the United States-Central
America air mail route.

denlably arbitrary, and sometimes al
most inhuman. with respect to the in
dividual pupil. But the time should
not be far distant when the schools
will undertake to teach success for
each pupil according to his talent.
The child of the future will not be
branded by mark of failure On the
contrary, the thought of all concerned
will be centered upon helping him to
succeed up to the highest possible
standard of which he himself is cap
able. The teacher will seek to dis
cover what talents the individual pu-
pill possesses and to guide each in
developing his capacity.
A superintendent in Minnesota calls
upon teachers to have enough faith i'm
the child to allow him to unfold in his
own way and at his own rate, and
then there can be no failure. In one
large city SiXty-twO parent-teacher
associations united in thoughtfully
worked-out plan to reduce school fail
ures. Home and school conditions
alike were altered and improved, and
other surprising results were OBJ
tanned. Vocational and trade schools
are concerned with saving young
people from what would otherwise be
sad failure. Certain progressive
schools have taken the position that
no pupil need leave the place fail
ure. The intelligent teacher in the
wisely conducted public school now
knows that there are extremely few
children who cannot do something
we'll, and that it is for the teacher
to find and develop that something so
that the youth may leave the school
not with Failure" but with well
DONE ringing in his ears.
