sticks at those on the ground. There's human
trait that should prove something other to the
Reverend Mr.. Riley.
What with Tom Carr suffering behind prison
bars and the Big Three and the University Off
Gals throwing mad words forward and back, life
seems just about more than many of us can en-
dure these days.
In order for women to be happy they
must be ruled.-Claude Anet
Now wouldn't it take a fellow named
Claude" and "Anet'' all at the same time to
think up thing like that.
Over in England, they are making automo-
biles so small that doesn't get into them so
much as wear them. One lady was too COM
Portable minded to care to diet so she returned
her runabout because it was "too tight about
the hips"
Who wants a return-of the famous good
old times when all the winters were long
stretches of sub-zero weather like the sample we
had in January. Styles in winters changes and
that kind went out-when silk stockings and
crepe de chine "undes' came in.

The Farm Bureau thinks, along with some
of the thoughtful of the congressman in
Guiding Frank Clague, that it would be foolish
ness to rush into farm legislation during the
present short session of Congress. "Wat for
Hoover, says the Bureau" He has promised us
plan for farm reef-it is both the wise and
courteous thing to wait for it.

The cartoonst of the Minneapolis Tribune
was hard put to it last week when it attempted
to draw cartoon showing the pitiful condition
in the State Home for Orphans at Owatonna
The orphans, says the Tribune, are forced to
sleep two in bed designed for only one. And
therein lay the difficulty: If the artist drew the
children small enough to look like helpless little
orphans they didn't look intentionally crowded.
If he pictured them large enough to look terribly
crowded, as they lay "head to foot" they looked
too mature to be orphans. Consequently all the
cartoonist succeeded in doing was to make
grotesque and unreal cartoon, which reused more
laughter than sympathy. 1t also sort of spoiled
that effect against Governor Christensen and
his economy program, which the Tribune is at
present laboring hard to create.

Everybody who knows Bob Forrest is mighty
glad he has been made assistant game commits
sioner; first because he will me darned good
one and secondly because Bob has some recog-
milton coming to him for his combination service
and ability, so we are among the friends stretch
ing forth hand with "Glad you got it old
boy" 1--WE talk like that to Bob when we are quite
a distance away from him). Undoubtedly what
should have happened Bob's appointment as
"Chancelor of the Hatcheries,' account of his
having had so much experience with bringing
angle worms into the world and all. But even as
common every day game and fish man, he is
going to be in position to make the state
understand that here at last is MAN who knows
what to do and how to do it, even if it takes a
little profanity to put it over. We about
to write to Bob and proffer services as mana
ger of the Angle Worm Farm during his future
absence. Bob won't think much of ability
but being as how he is Scotch may appeal
! to him because we are still in the "cheap help"
class and admit it. Anyway, and however, we
pity the tourist who out the roads or
takes more than his share Of fish. Bob is dead
! against that sort of thing.
Tergiverous Tim of the Mortified News
went on quite columnistic spree in his last
effort and started off his column by throwing
down the gauntlet thus:
| 81 don't want to hear any more of this
early bird stuff for / know that the early
| bird has to get his own breakfast and if he's
| ten minutes too late he has to wash the
Dishes"
| Then Tim devotes several paragraphs to graph
ic descriptions of his recent trip between Grand
Forks and Park River, North Dakota in recent
near-blzzard. We quote two of these just to
let Minnesotans know what hardships still to
be endured by travellers in North Dakota.
"When that train, which comprised
sour cream car, a nicotine and bare

the open country it was soon found by the
passengers that aside from sitting down and
