March !, is getting closer and closer and
just beyond that is March 15 Curses!

The deadest of all dead things these days
are the political clubs. But watch the resurrec-
ton four years from now.
An honest confession is good for the soul,
and it also brings a good price in certain
alleged class of magazines.
Indy flies high and his fancee to be writes
lofty poetry That family is bound to have
it's head in the clouds one way or another most
of the time.
IT'S said that the cigarette and cigar trade
has just gotten back to normal after the annual
slump caused by New Years resolutions And
now along comes Lent to bother the tobacconists.
It's going to be hard to remember always
that it is now the "Watonwan County Plain
dealer" instead of the two other names we have
so long known it by, but it's good paper any
way. How could it be otherwise when all the
effort that has formerly gone into two papers
is now concentrated into one.

Springfield is progressive, friendly, prosper
Gus, generous, and hospitable, neighborly and
beautiful. There isn't brighter star in frma-
ment of little cities. Let's keep her shining
bright.-Aug Erickson.
Brother Ericksons flow of adjectives about
his home town remind us of the late Frank A.

The St. Peter Herald is starting a little
boomlet for group Of the newspaper boys to
be governor at some time or other. 1t includes
Vim Weber and Herman Roe and Rudy Lee,
putting Rudy at the head of the procession.
Keep your place in line, boys, and don't crowd
There will be plenty of time for all of you.
Remember you gentlemen first and governors
afterward.
There is nothing to indicate that move
ments to do away with political conventions
and party designations and party responsible
ity have done anything to improve the calibre
of men who achieve these offices. Rather, it
has had opposite effect and the more it
moves in that direction the more pronounced
will this condition become.-Appleton Press.
To which say "Amen."
Here's comfort for all those who like mashed
potatoes, and big, fluffy, white rolls; Paul Poiret
the fashion expert, says: "The rounded natural
figure which more readily lends itself to the
accentuation of beauty will be the silhouette of
the future" This is probably true, but the news
hasn't yet reached Minneapolis, apparently, for
the other day a slim sylph-like almost
skinny young thing, slip off her beads along with
everything else, properly removable before she
weighed herself And then she heaved gusty
sigh, because the balance stuck at hundred,
fifteen.
Once more has the civilized world been
shocked at the crime in Chicago, when seven men
were shot down in cold blood they belonged to
the wrong side of the gang. 1t is an unthink-
able that such thing should happen-and yet
it does again and again. Every outburst of
crime is followed by loud talk about Cleaning
up"-which dies down and stays dead until the
next outrage. The name of Chicago has become
a blot on the map of the United States, and the
nation does little to rid herself Of the infected
spot. Surely there must be way to make the
place reasonably safe and decent, but we are
long time finding it.
I am frank, honest, courageous, and kind.
Though l do not talk much of my accomplish
ments, feel that 1 have serious mind yet
do not lack a sense of hun1or. People look to
me with respect. l am destined to be promi-
nent member of my community. Often quiet in
company, I nevertheless have ready wit and a
capacity for intelligent conversation. At times
I am too reluctant to take other peoples advice.
This is bad for me- should not be head-strong
though my naturally powerful will often leads
me to make mistakes of judgment. l am very
sensitive. I have just spent IA pennies on the
fortune telling machines.-Los Angeles Times.

The legislature is in dilemma as to
the University We are certain that every
legislator wants to be fair to the big school.
But then, there is our economy program,
which is popular with the taxpayers and
voters The needs of the big school and the
ability of the taxpayers to pay will be
threshed over and after some cutting and
pairing is done the legislature will appro-
