All things come to him who waits. Forty
years ago man believed he was about to die,
and provided his own coffin, an deliberately carv-
ed affair. Last week he used tat the age of
los. If we just wait long enough all our dreams
come true.
"Just let black cat curl up in the middle
of your back when you go to bed and rheumatism
pains will all leave. you," is the assurance a
North Shore fisherman gave Minneapolis man.
If it's all right with the fisherman we'll keep
our rheumatism.

Nineteen centuries ago Roman galley was
sunk beneath the waves of Lake Nem Today
it is being brought to the surface and is found
to be in a wonderful state Of preservation. More
than that is found cleverly and substantially put
together with copper nails and lead plates-qute
as thought it were done today.

Mothers Day doesn't mean much if we try
to make a pound of candy or bunch of sweet
peas make up for neglect on the other 1854
days." says exchange. We suppose theoret-
ically that is true-and yet don't believe
there is a mother living who doesn't feel "all
popped up" when little membranes come in
even thought they are only occasional.

! Girls in England may marry at the age of
| twelve and boys at the age of fourteen. And
the Englanders are now seekir,. to raise these
minimums to sixteen. That wouldn't seem at all
too old to US, but perhaps to those who Just
can't wait it does seem like an unnecessary
time: Nonsense aside, can you an intelligent
person believe that country like England would
allow such absurdty to exist?

We hope the friends who take pleasure every
now and then in telling how much women spend
on cosmetics will take note of the fact that Mimi
esota residents alone paid the United States
government S,8037O for the privilege of play
ing cards during the first nine months of the
1929 fiscal year. This is a tremendous increase
over last year when the tax for the entire year
was $10,6O1. A lot of folks must have taken to
the "seven-toed Pete" habit just recently.
Speaking of our request last week that
| Springfield should serve some stuffed peppers
along with her annual sauer kraut, August Erick-
son asks us to post bond that we will attend
that grand occasion if the peppers are forthcom-
ing. August both compliments and insults as

US when he assumes that we could post a bond
should we SO desire, and rather sights us when
when he intimates that our word is not as good as
our bond Now we just don't know whether
to go or not.
Jim Landy of the Olivia Times must
be something of careful observer,
judging by the following in his editorial
column: GAS we go about from day to
day among women in all walks of life,
we wonder who first invented the idea
that perfume could take the place of a
bath, or that powder can ever conceal
= a dirty neck."-Levang's Weekly.
1t sure looks though Jim were something
of careful observer all right but what we want
to know is what is Mrs. Landy doing while Jim
is going about from day to day among the
women in all walks of life" Looks to us as
though that little paragraph might make bit
of trouble for James
/ Writers come and writer's go and we hear
much of who is popular and who live But
| Shakespeare goes calmly on without publicity
agents or advertising-just because that name
stands for the greatest dramas the world has
ever known. The three hundred and sixty-ffth
birth anniversary of the great man came along
the other day and the flags of fifty nations flew
| over his birthplace. His is the universal art
the true art such art as it has been given to
only few great artists to bestow upon the
world. When another three hundred years has
passed away lovers of good literature will still
be reading his plays because he wrote the human
nature of all times and not just the life of his
! period.
/ Here's another argument for know-your-
