Perhaps you do not know it, but there is a

in that language there is certain word older than

That word is Yes Substitutes for the word are
coarse vulgar, unjustifable.

REyIvING THE HOMECOMING FASHION
Morris Tribune

President Hoover has called another conference
made up of those active in building and financing
in order to devise of encouraging home
building.
Our first advice to the commission is that it sug-
gest active advertising campaign to all agencies
engaged in furnishing either labor, material funds
for the erection of homes. The monster automobile
business of this country with its outposts of tire
shops filling stations and garages has been built up
by the most tremendous advertising expenditures
ever INDUCED in by any industry, and the people
have been sold on the desire to
fTis WE'LL but in the meantime, carpenters, lum-
ber dealers. cement Dealers plumbers painters,
shrubbery dealers, and home-fnancng agencies have
let the auto get the jump them in public favor.
The fashion of HOMECOMING has been displaced by
the passion for riding air.
A family has real affection for home which
it never acquires, for rented house furnished
apartment. 1t is anchor for childhood affection
and beloved retreat for the aged.
1t makes for good citizenship, and the home
owner can always be depended upon for an intelli-
gent interest in public improvements. Taxes mean
lost in the size of the rent bill which he chronicay
and neffectively kicks about.
Every community needs some good advertising
materialdealers and horne-outftters, and good
home-financing concern like local association,
which is steadily making Morris homecoming
city.
Morris has shown substantial growth in the
last decade cities of its class the principal
being the growth of the homecoming fashion

TOWN BEAUTY AN ASSET

In spite of the apparent commercialism
of the age in which we live, it is evident to
any observer that the American people are
developing greater appreciation of the
beautiful This is not confined to the wealth
ier classes, but extends to the great masses
in the towns and villages, and in the rural
districts.
New towns and new sections of the older
ones are being laid out with wider streets,
with provision for larger lawns, more trees,
shrubbery and flowers, and more attractive
setting generally.
New houses show better architecture
and greater harmony with their surround
ings, while unsightly yard fences have large
ly disappeared. The net result of all these
modern developments is beauty. And aside
from the satisfaction which it affords the eye
it pays in dollars and cents.
Beautiful cities, towns and villages at
tract people. They attract permanent resi-
dents, they attract tourists, and they attract
trade. 1t is natural that person selecting
a trading center will choose town that is
beautiful and clean in preference to one that
is unsightly and dirty, if other conditions are
anywhere near equal.
Therefore, it behooves the authorities of
any community, as well as each individual
citizen, to make the most of their opportun-
tiles for improving the appearance of the
place in which they live. Beauty and clean
illness are towns best assets.

WESTERN STEARNS is NOT ON FIRE
FOR FLOYD OLSON

The Herald wishes to congratulate
Floyd Olson, county attorney, Of Hennepin
county and Farmer-Labor candidate for
Governor for not injecting personal politics
in his address in the city Friday evening,
sponsored by the Community First Associa-
ton, of this city.
The only reference that could be con-
strued as political was his suggestion that
men should be elected who would appoint
officials in keeping with the successful can
didate's political program.

of Monopoly in Business and Government" !"

we also have noted the surplus in this product But
nent and say that there too many selfappointed
farm leaders. The country is full Of this gentry
who have multitude of ideas to how to "save"
the farmer, but in many instances these same in
dividuas have made but slight success themselves
in agricultural pursuits.
Honest-togoodness successful farm leaders
somewhat scarce, we would say, for they are too
busy taking of their business, to attempt to
regulate the affairs of the farmers of the country
But on the other hand there multitude Of
would-be farmers, and farmers, who farm the farm
err who are continually shouting from the housetops
panaceas for all manner of ills the farmer is sub
jected to.
There are some of this latter class occupying
seats in both houses of congress- and this surplus
could be cut down. and much to the advantage of
congress and the country.

A POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY
Rv Fred s. Had


Minnesota has a rare political opportunity.
And that is to elect Ray Chase governor of the
state.
This writer has known Mr.. Chase for many
years. and without any equivocation mental re-
servation whatsoever we most heartily recommend
him to the voters of Minnesota.
Mr.. Chase at the present time, as you know, is
state auditor. He has made a most competent ofc-
ia the people in every section of the state will
cheerfully testify. He is the very personifeation of
conscientiousness
If elected, as confidently believe he will be,
Chase will prove to be of the outstanding gov
ernors of the state and nation. We have never
known harder working official, one who was
faithful in the performance of duty.
Ray Chase is old fashioned. He is one of the
few who cling to the idea that public office is pub
lie trust. and that campaign pledge is sacred
promise to be kept and not broken. Your faith in
him will not be misplaced. You will never have
cause for regret if you cast your ballot for Chase
on November 6.
There isn't man in this state that knows this
commonwealth better than he does. He knows it
from every angle. He has comprehensive know
ledge of it's varied industries and resources. He
its Mines its FARMS its forests and its busi-
ness. He is free from any taint of sectionalism He
will well and faithfully, with favors to none and
fairness to all.
And so, we repeat, the voters Of Minnesota have
great opportunity at the forthcoming election, and
we believe that they will take advantage of that op-
portunity and elect Ray Chase as their chief execu-
tive If we did not know Mr.. Chase as we do, and
know that he is clean and competent worthy and
well-qualifed, we you that we would not re-
commend him to friends the way we unquali-
fedly do
