Ananias' Laurels
Are ENDANGERED

Many have heard of the rubber
yard stick for use in measuring fish
and many office-boy grandmothers
have passed away on the eve of big
circus or championship baseball game,
but yarn that is yarn was told by
Editor B. Hanson, in the Morton En-
terprise as follows:
1.-TWO weeks ago the Enterprise car
ried a story about the Minnesota
river running through six-inch. tile
here. We are rather inclined to be-
lieve that Editor John Peterson is
trying to go us one better when he
says in his Belview Independent that
the old Minnesota river is SO dry that
the carp have to stand on their heads
to wet their gills and young frogs six
months old have never learned to
SWIM Now, John, you come to Morton
and we'll show you the river running
through the tile, but can you show
us, without bringing in a prohibition
argument, the carp standing on their
heads?" -
Another seems to be trespassing in
the believe it or not realm when it
is repeated that a farmer in Iowa
hung his vest on a fence in his barn
yard seven years ago with the result
that one of the pockets containing a
gold watch was chewed up. Last
week, so the story goes, the animal,
staid old milk cow, was butchered
for beef, and the time piece was found
in such position between the lungs
of the cow that respiration-the clos
ing in and filling of the lungs-ckept
the stem-winder wound up, and. the
watch had lost but four minutes in
seven years. !.

S. C. E. This is meeting for young

*'There is no greater need in the
Christian church today than more
federation and sweet reasonableness."
Many of the things for. which men
wrangled so bitterly centuries ago
were non-essentials; and many of the
questions over which so many dis
agree today are equally unimportant.
The thing which does matter is, that
Christian people should keep their
tempers, should be charitable, kind
and tolerant. Remember that as long
as the world lasts people will look at
things in different ways. We give
you a cordial invitation to worship
with us.

After years of service to their
country in the Army, Navy and

GERS who have been retired are
now living in foreign countries, &C.
cording to figures obtained today.
While no official list of reasons
for the voluntary expatriatiOn OF
these veteran officers Is available,
the prevailing opinion is that
many of them have gone abroad
because they are better able to
live in other countries on their
retired pay than they would be in
the United States.
Army Alone Has 90
The Army alone has SO retired
officers living in foreign countries.
The Navy has "a such officers,
while nine retired officers of the
Marine Corps have taken ur resi-

Economic difficulties brought
about the sudden cut from active
