And now some body has bound out that
George Washington played the flute albeit he did
it badly. But still thank God that he
never tortured the atmosphere with saxaphone.

Sir Conan Doyle says he would rather live
in packing house than in room without pic
lures Evidently Sir Conan has never tried liv-
ing with some of these modern atrocities of alleg-
ed art.
The Baudette Region suggests that we don't
need to worry about insomnia unless it gets so
bad we can't sleep when it's time to get up.
When that comes to pass condition may be
looked upon as serious.
What we want to know is how do the resi-
dents of Minneota spend Sunday. The Mascot
of that village states that on a recent Monday
the village treasury was made the richer by
ninety dollars collected in fines.
Renville County has just recently purchased
snow pillow. That's what we call getting be-
hind good movement all right-quite ways
behind it. What Renvie county probably needs
more now is good old-fashioned split log drag.

Some of the Minneapolis aldermen seem to
think they IL like to live at Saltwater and some
don't. But if they keep on bringing 'em up be-
fore the court the poor fellows will all be there
sooner or later Worry lack of nightshrts,
having their hair cut too short and lack of variety
in the prison food is making things unduly hard
for them, too
President Hoover's start on prohibition en-
forcement has proved satisfactory to at least
one prominent Democratic woman, Mrs. Frank
N. Manu. former national committeewoman from
Virginia, and director of the Women's Demo-
cratic Law Enforcement league. At meeting
Of the league at Washington Mrs. Mann resigned
from the dictatorship and announced she no
longer is Democrat.
After having tried to steer car through the
mud of these last few days we are convinced
that every car should be equipped with one of
those chain arrangements that lays itself down
and picks itself up, the sort of thing used on
a caterpillar tractor. Either that or Mr.. Babcock
should have all the money in the world with
which to pave the highways.

School children of Bemidji have more than
the children have saved 1,O2O,295 pennies.
Evidently these children of Betrami county
are getting ready to buy up the county bonds
and give their dads lesson in finance
Mapleton Enterprise.
What splendid and wonderful example in
thrift Heinie Mitchell has set for the children
of his town.
And now psychologists tell us that people
who fail to pay their debts are not bead beats
they optimists We have never found that
optimism helped. We've often hoped most op-
timistically that the bill collector would drop dead
or the firm we owed large amount would burn
down or blow up or something. But nothing ever
happened and ultimately we paid the bill. Again
the psychologists are wrong.

Probably when the chain newspapers
knocks at Worthington's door, we too will
not like it so we'll. Yet the thot persists
that if Worthington is so inviting to hard
headed outsiders, it must be rich in POSSIBLE
ties to us already on the ground, if we
straghten up and hit the ball. H. L. Resell,
in Worthington Times.
That's something to make all the small
town worriers stop and think.

Another recognition of the social work that
has been done in Redwood County is found in the
selection, by Judge C. H. Hail. of Redwood Falls
for the one-day conference of social workers.
To this conference will come many people who
have made special study of the social needs
and their fulfllment-and from this conference
there will go out over this section an inspira-
ton to do better welfare work than has ever
been done before The writer attended one such
conference at Slayton several years ago and still
recalls that attending it was privilege as well
opportunity. We hope everyone in the coun-
ty will do his and her utmost to make the con-
ference success and to learn its invaluable les
sons Of service to others.
