SILVER WEDDING
DAY CELEBRATED

Last Sunday afternoon, when Mr..
and Mrs. Rier E. Crying were in
vited, following the regular church
service at the First Ev. Lutheran, to
the church parlors they were greatly
surprised to find the church people
and friends had everything in readi-
ness to properly celebrate their silver
wedding anniversary.
The enjoyment of the occasion was
doubled because of the fact that their
daughter, Ella, who teaches at Mound
and their son, Louie, a student at st.
Olaf College were present, they hav-
ing arrived here the previous eve
ming and were entertained at the G.
C.. Enestvedt home until the party
hour, thus adding to the surprise.
A very fine dinner was served, a
beautiful wedding cake covering the
center of the table, at which the bride
and groom of twenty-five years ago,
were placed in company with near
relatives.
During the afternoon, the hours

In behalf of $4,000 Minnesota

In behalf of $4,000 Minnesota Lee
gion and the Legion Auxiliary mem
bers, their state legislative chairman,
Ray Engan of Luverne and Mrs. w.
d. Villars of st. Paul, have placed
in the hands of each Minnesota legis-
tor the Legion's 1929 program of
state and national legislation. Over
400 local Legion posts as well as
many local Legion Auxiliary units,
are voicing their wish that legislators
give this program their support; at
the same time expressing apprecia-
ton of past cooperation and of the
generous manner in which the North
Star State has always dealt with it's
veterans. The program includes IL
state planks and about as many ma
tional measures. They deal with con-
servation of the state resources; soil
surveys; opposition to the damming
of boundary waters and the abolish
ment of military training at the Uni
versity; child welfare proposals.; re-
lief for widowed mothers of the vet
Grams; and the changing of fishing
and hunting open dates so as not to
detract from the observance of Mem
orial and Armistice days.

What is your opinion of school journalism? Do you

The most important thing in the world is THOUGHT Be-
fore can DO anything you must have the THOUGHT

It is important also to be able TO EXPRESS YOUR

vegetables and not sending them to market making any
other of them

High school boys working at journalism or in other forms
Of written composition practice the ART OF EXPRESSING

No matter how good your thought is it loses value if it

How Long Would / Fight to Hold Husband?
By Elsie Robinson

Our courts are only as wise ana
ethical as we who make them.
the decisions of our judges can
only be as progressive as we per-
NIT them to be. And the aver.
age voter is still far from being
civilized in spots. Our laws and
institutions are filled with evi.
dence OF our ignorance, supersti-
ton, greediness and spite. Our
refusal TO grant divorces Is one
of these evidences.
No law should tie an unwilling
woman to a man or an unwilling
man to a woman.
No power on earth can make
such a union happy or even, de-
cent.
People should. it is true, be held
responsible for the children they
bring into the world. The gov
ernment itself should see that a
man is held" to that responsi-
bility. 1t should be impossible for
a father to avoid supporting his
children by stepping into another
State. as he now can do.
In this department of marriage
we need much wider and more
stringent laws. But divorce should
be freely granted te those who
ask it. And the mere wish for di-
yorce, should suffice, without the
introduction of evidence which, in
nine times out of 10. is false and
trumped up.
After all what pleasure or
profit is there in holding a hus-
band or wife who doesn't want to
be held?
| can imagine no more useless
or provoking piece of bric-a-brac
than an unwilling spouse.
A chronic dose of hives would
be a picnic in comparison with
such, a partnership.
Drag that around? NOT I.
And l hereby announce to any
husbands / may have at present
or accumulate in the future-if
you want to go. boys, the air is
yours. ON YOUR WAY.

But Ill never give him a di.
vorce, writes an indignant wife.
We have been married eight
years and no other woman is
going to take him from me. I'll
fight for him If it takes all my
life. Don't you think / am right.
Miss Robinson?
How long would / fight TO keep
a husband?
NOT ONE SECOND. LADY.
The minute he wished TO leave
me he could be on his way, with

out of our partnership,

to be free.
THE MAN OR WOMAN WHO
WANTS TO BE FREE HAS A
RIGHT TO BE FREE.
We do not own our husbands,
or wives.
No VOWS. however sanctlfied,
can make them our property.
No laws should give us power
to bind them to us.
But the courts often refuse tb
grant divorces" you aptly retort.
They do. indeed. But what of Ii?
That may make such refusal
legal. but 1t does not make 1t
right.
There are still laws ON some of
our statute books which permit a
husband to beat his wife. pro.
vided the stick he uses he no
larger around than his thumb. "
That makes such a beating legal.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-
VKTOMEN are grtaeful by nature
w but men are not.

WoMEN are grtaefnl by nature
w but men are not.
Woman's gratitude springs from
her maternal instinct. lu the flIl-
fiIlment of maternity she gives
up so much that the best she
can really expect in return from
her children is gratitude.
They could not possibly COM
pensate her adequately tor what
she has done for them.
Gratitude therefore becomes a
sort of measure and appreciation
of service. When others are
grateful TO her she is deeply
touched. Indeed, no return gives
her more pleasure than that.
Men, however, dislike sacrific-
ing themselves to others. In fact
they even dislike doing favors.
They don't want people being
grateful nor do they want to be
grateful to them.
Man considers gratitude a form
of humiliation. 1t hurts his ego.
1t steps on his pride.
Woman considers gratitude fiat
tering to her. 1t enhances her
ego and pride.
Since, woman puts SO high a
value upon gratefulness she there
fore expects men to appreciate
whatever gratitude she may feel
or express toward her man.
That is why women like to re-
ceive presents, especially from
men.
Men. however, are embarrassed
when they get presents.
Men, of course. give presents
but they do not take to it natur-
ally as do women,
! When men buy presents they Oh,
tain the most expensive they can
afford. They think they are doing
lot when they put lot of money
in 1t.
In other words, men miss the
sentiment element, while women
stress it. Women, therefore, often
work hard with pillow or piece
of embroidery or a scarf or tie or
whatnot, irrespective of its value.
They put love and sentiment into
their presents.
I Men often are motivated by a
strong sense of guilt when they
make present.
The custom of man to bring
home box of candy or send flow
ers to his wife when he has guar
relied with her or otherwise
wronged her, is too well known to
need elaboration here,
Man, in other words, squares
his conscience with present-with
money.
Woman very much dislikes re.
ceiving money presents, but she
likes to see gratitude expressed in
a present. What she values is the
affection and thoughtfulness that
goes with the present, not its cash
value or its equivalent in cash.
A woman treasures her gifts
much more than a man.
A man lays them aside and may
soon forget all about them. He is
inclined to remember them only if
they have practical unsefulness.
Give him even an expensive gift
which he cannot use and he is not
pleased,
But a woman keeps everything.
She holds on to all presents, use
full or not. and especially Is this
