1t looks very much as if Minnesota
was billed for an extra session of the
legislature. Gov. Olson had admitted
that he has such in mind and that if
the call is made it will be in the in
terest of the unemployed and for farm
relief. 1t goes with out saying that
the call if made will not be at all to
the liking of Big Business, likewise a
ma jority of the house and senate men,
bers. In the case of the former a
special session means trouble and as
to the latter an extended stay in St.
Paul without pay. All they will re-
ceive will be mileage. The call will be
for specific purpose, but such is no
bar to other desired legislation. The
chief fear of Big Business is that the
talked of extra session will be pro-
ductive of regulative and revenue pro-
ducing legislation. The last legislature
did little in a revenue producing way

Long after Farmer Browns Boy had
returned to his home in the East the
great Elk whom he had watched fight
and whom he called Bugler, because of
hiJ buglelike challenge, continued to
be lord Of the mountain, proud Of his
strength and his great antlers. No
other was able to defeat him in battle,
so after q time none tried. Gradually
his desire to fight ceased. He had gath
cred about him a band of COW Elk and
youngsters not yet equal to facing the
Great World alone, and for a time he
was their leader or thought he was. He
was ever ready to fight In their behalf
and prowling enemies, seeing his great
antlers, wisely hunted others not so
we'll protected.
ridges, and gradually the band of Elk
moved down where they were sheltered
and where the food was better and
easier to get. It was then that Bugler
lost his leadership almost without
knowing it. From being leader of the
band he became the rear guard, still
looked to for protection from proving
enemies, so that his pride in his great
strength and courage received no hurt
But the one who led the herd wore
no antlers. It was Mrs. Bugler. She was
the one to whom all the others looked
for leadership in search for new food
supplies and sheltered places wherein
to rest and to find protection from
storms, which now came more and more
often She knew just where the best
food was, the shortest, best trails to
get to it, the safest places for rest. She
knew better than any others how to
tell when a storm was coming and
whether or not it was likely to be a
bad one. There wasn't foot of that
mountain that she didn't know, for
out of long experience she had gained

showing of for the admiration of his
followers, that he had paid little atten-
ton to the important matters Of food
and safety. In the glory of his strength
he was unafraid. But the others Of his
band, the COW Elk, without fighting
weapons save their sharp hoofs, and
the youngsters, whose antlers were
mere spikes, had always to think Of
safety, and it didn't take them long to
discover that wise old Mrs. Bugler had
this always in mind and knew just
where and how to avoid danger. SO
whenever she moved they followed, and
thus it was that leadership was given
her without the asking.
"He Is wonderful, but she IS wise, "
said one young COW to another.
"True," replied the other. Now that

So 1t was that wisdom was preferred
to strength and Mrs. Bugler became the
leader of the band
