The last experience of the Graf Zepplin
have changed our vacation plans Instead of tax
ing a round the world trip on the dirigible we
shall stay at home and wash the windows-we
believe it safer
1t is reported that Coolidge caught twenty
trout in two hours while fishing in private
pond Strikes US that is too many for good
sportsman to take even though the taking may
be good sport
Wonder how some of those University pro-
fessors at Madison who have been on the campus
! in active teaching the past thirty -five forty
| years will feel when the new thrty-year old
president of that institution makes certain sug-
| gestions for changes We reckon the old boys
are going to say few things about the rising
| generation
| We in America have thoughtlessly squander-
ed our wealth of trees. 1t will be hard for us
to understand the love for their trees which
caused two resident of Sweden to live in utter
poverty and discomfort surrounded by forests
valued at many hundred thousand crowns. If
that is extreme our disregard for the lowell
ness and value of trees is the other.

This is what a missionary woman, returned
from Persia told a group of st. Paul church
people the other day;
"In the last analysis" international
friendship must depend on mutual trust,
mutual tolerance, mutual desire to
serve in simple ways and an estyerness
to be what is protested. The United
States cannot distribute tracts on peace
on earth, good will toward mem with
hand and build warships with the
other"
Considering the panning that the gu"
has been getting from many scribes
for its well-meant but perhaps injudici-
Gus desire to find out what's the matter
with the small town, the latest move, to
educate adults, won't set very we'll,
either.-H. F. Resell in Mobiles County
Times.
1t may interest Brother Resell and few
of the other Minnesota editors to learn that "the
U" has never yet added an extension course nor
short course nor any other course to is cur
riculum except in the face of direct and posi-
tive demand from one source or another 1t
might be as we'll for some of the ''panners" to
find out who wants these things done, and why
before they carry panning process too far.

The season when new filling stations and
refreshment stands will be springng up along
the highways is at hand A bulletin issued by
the state highway department this week makes
several suggestions for the guidance of persons
planning roadside stations
The department will not permit any stands
to encroach upon the highway right-of-way. Be-
yond that the department has no power of con-
troll, but the bulletin suggests that if stands,
pumps and other structures are placed at least
rs feet back of the right-of-way line, it will
provide parking and turning space which will be
convenience to customers and increase business.
On many routes the highway department
is acquiring additional right-of-way, to allow
for widening the roadway at some future time.
In such cases buildings, stands and pumps must
be moved back-Minnesota Highway News.

Minnesota has record of which she may be
very proud, and for which she may thank Gov
ernor Christianson and the state administration
and legislature. The Department of Commerce
of the United States made the announcement
last week that the expense of the state govern
ment in Minnesota is lower per capita than in any
other state in the union, but that it is rising,
it is in other states. So must admit that the
slogan more Ted and less taxes" has resulted
in more than flood of oratory. One reason
why it is possible for Minnesota to hold this
record, also, is that forefathers took care to
preserve for the good of the state that property
which belongs to the people of the state. Min
nsota's huge trust fund.- the largest in the United
States, if remember correctly, has a great
deal to do with determining her financial cond-
ton, Minnesota's fine record is an indication of
common sense in state government.-Cot Cottonwood
County Citizen.
There are those, who raise their voices and
offer criticism concerning the vast amounts,
which spent annually by cities, villages, and
townships, countless states and by the federal
government for the advancement of education.
But these same individuals have little to say
concerning what is spent in this country in the
way of Injuries each year. In the year 1924
the total cost of education in this country in
both public and private institutions, was $780,
