"Our earth is degenerate in these latter days;
there signs that the world is coming to an
end; bribery and corruption are common; chill
dren no longer obey their parents; every man
wants to write book and the end of the world
is evidently approaching"
We want every reading this to shut his

guesses to who wrote this and when, Don't
guess Senator Norris, Congressman Garner,
for you would be wrong. Don't guess any col

least very many of the above have been saying
very similar things. Perhaps they have been
guilty of plagiarism, for lack of originality.
The above quotation is a translation of

Who of those quoting the above applicable

those days of degeneracy, bribery and corrup-

were the two wheel chariot, the scythe, the

when books were but titles, and perhaps not

EXPENSIVE LUXURY FOR ST. CLOUD

The citizens of St. Cloud have paid a
very tidy sum to encourage the location OF
large manufacturing plant in the Granite
City.
A dozen or so years ago Pandalfo landed
in that city with flourish and began til.
construction of splendid plant for the fa,
Motor Co. The buildings were the last word
in industrial efficiency; additions to the city
were plated and laid out; a hotel was erect
ed and other improvements were made.
With commendable loyalty to St. Cloud
the citizens, big and little, purchased stock
with Pandalfo. If he had confided his oper
atoms to St. Cloud he perhaps would have
kept out of Jail. His ambition made the stock
campaign country wide. Uncle Sam finally
took hand and Pandalfo was convicted, and
after using every avenue of delay he was
compelled to serve his term at Leavenworth.
Naturally the St. Cloud people are anx-
ious to see those splendid buildings put to
some use Several small ventures were tried
unsuccessfully.
In 1924 the Mutual Motors Co., took over
the plant Later it was reorganized into the
Diamond Motor Parts Co. with an authorized
capital of $1,OOO,OOO. Several smaller COM
panies were soon taken into the fold and the
capital boosted to $3,OOO,OOO. In 1927 bonds
to the amount of $4,000 were issued The
stocks and bonds were sold countrywide.
In 1927 St. Cloud citizens subscribed $780,
900 in 48 hours to make certain the plant
would remain in the city.
The bubble bursted in January, 1929,
when the company could not raise $4,000
interest payment on bonds, and of course
went into the hands of receiver.
The Federal Grand Jury in session at st.
Paul went into the affairs of the Diamond
Motor Parts Company very carefully.
It is understood the facts developed that
five thousand investors in eleven states
have lost 100000 through the purchase of
stock in the Diamond Motors Parts Company.
Tuesday secret indictments were returned
against 20 and very likely Leavenworth's
population will be increased before the affairs
are settled.
But conviction will not return the money
to the investor, and most likely the greatest
majority are women and those who cannot
afford to lose.
The Herald would suggest to one desir-
ing investment, that government bonds or
utilities of known value be used as medium

PRAISES u. S. PAPERS

American newspapers are more progress
sive than European in news gathering
and business methods, according to DR.. Will
helm Giradet, publisher of chain of news
papers in the German steel cities who was re-
Gently interviewed in New York. He said:
"You use three or four times as many
reporters as we and your editorials are re-
duced to admirably simple terms. German
editors devote much space to politics, which
is always the most important subject in our
country"
Regarding some of our American condi-
tons and habits DR.. Giradet is not so en-
thusiastic He thinks New York has too
many skyscrapers and too few parks. 1t was
inevitable that he should touch upon the
drink problem of which he says:
81 notice far more smoking and drinking
among American women than among my own
people. Another thing cannot help noticing
that you drink too much coffee. Germany is
the home of the 'kaffeeklatsch' but we don't
abuse coffee. l drink it in decaffeinated
form, which is genuine coffee but does not
keep me awake at night and does not have a
harmful effect upon my nerves."
Speaking of unemployment, which pre-.
sents difficult problem in Germany. DR..
Giradet says that they give jobs first to men,
and if married man is employed they do not
employ his wife. They first try to give job
to one person in each family.
So, while the noted publisher expects to
profit by his observation of American news
papers, he feels that in some other respects
the Germans employ better methods than
ours. Anyway, his observations are interest
ing, whether we agree with him or not.

nut oil was hardly used at all, it's

when you have the right of way.
Remember the other fellow may
not know that you have it.
8. When on a through street or
highway, give other drivers and
pedestrians chance to cross or
enter.
4. Always signal before turning
to the left.
5. Obey promptly and to the
letter, all traffic signs.
6. When you intend to turn to
the left give your signal at least SO
feet before you reach your turning
point; then move over to the CEN
ter line of the street.
7. When turning, either right or
left, watch for pedestrians as well
as vehicles.
8. Always stop when you drive
out of an alley, garage or private
property. Make sure that the way
is clear and sound your horn.
9. When driving away from the
curb always signal. A moving line
