One of the things that is going to trouble
the June bride is how it is possible for cows
kept in a barn to produce pasteurized milk.

We don't so much dislike man who expects
his wife to do his mending but we do think it is
a bit thick when he expects her to do his worry
ing for him.
We love the late lamented state legisla-
ture-not for the four hundred new laws it
made. but for the two thousand it refused to add
to the already overburdened statute books of the
state.
And that funny old primary law, useless and
profitless as it is still stands-just funny and
Just as useless and proftless it was before
the big war started in the state house last jan
uary.
Now that the legislature has ceased to exist
it is going to be awfully hard for the Small
Towner and other columnists to fill up the al
lotted space each week. We have no one to
grumble at.
Years ago a skinny little girl stood about
on the streets of Minneapolis and sold news
papers. Now she is the owner of cab company
in that city-and incidentally she is refusing to
paw alimony to her husband. 1t is said she won't
even let him have free taxi ride now and then
The following was written as joke by
columnst;
"a Federal law is one passed by congress,
signed by the president and modified by the
judge to fit the sympathies of his locality"
How many truth has been spoken in jest!
"a new idea in Paris is the wearing
as hat trimming of strip OF the
wearer's pet dog lash, complete with
metal disc bearing the animals name"
Now isn't that just too cute for words! We
do so hope the fashion will become Americanized.
Then we shall straightway buy dog and begin
to wear his personal belongings.

Representing the 100000 members in
Parents and Teachers Associations delegates
from all the states will meet in Washington, D.
c., May to II. All this growth in this move
ment has been made in the past thrty-fve years
Minnesota herself has almost 10000 workers in
these associations which seek to bring about
mutual understanding of the problems of the
schools and the homes, and of how the one can
help the other.
One of the greatest needs of the University
of Minnesota is for home for the girls who are
| training as nurses there-an ever increasing
number of young women who are wise to the
fact that hospital training and college lectures
| are~an admirable combination for their profess
sional training. And it begins to look, now that
the University is to be permitted to go ahead
with its building program, as though that home
| will become an actual fact within a reasonable
time. The girls have been patient and their
| superintendent long-suffering. We hope these
virtues are about to be rewarded.
August Erickson shows his usual good judg
ment when he says;
Minnesota has 20 district game war
dens and 100 wardens, total of 140 Of
fcers to enforce the game laws, besides
the office force. These men are charged
with the enforcement of one particular
set of laws. They are on the job con-
tinually. And while the game laws are
violated to very large extent, we
don't hear any demand for their repeal.
| The federal government has fewer men
| working at enforcement of the Volstead
law than Minnesota employs to enforce
the game laws. And there are plenty
of people who say, ut can't be DONE"

Farm Relief so far as legislation is
cerned would possibly be easy of solution if
| ninety-fve per cent of the professional farm
reliefists were chloroformed Hoover was elect
ed as one well fitted to cope with this intricate
| problem, and this paper has every confidence
that he will fulfill every prediction pledge
made. That is, if all of these pee-wee political
farmers will just keep their hand off. A good
| many of them mere obstructionists. They'd
dearly love to ball up the whole works and send
| the whole blooming farming business to hell in
a hand basket just to create an opportunity to
go before the country four years hence to "view
with alarm the awful fix the farmer is in be-
cause of "Hoover's glazing failure farm

Contributions asked by the Red Cross for
the relief of tornado sufferers in Minnesota and
Wisconsin tagging all over the state. How
quickly folks forget! The day after the storm
we all read the papers with expressions of horror
and felt deep down in our souls that we would
do our bit to help those who had lost their pro-
perty or met with physical hurt. But before
we got the check written we forgot-the storm
