The
Deserts
Price
By William
Macleod Raine

A story of the cattle
range, a tale of feud and
romance. For years the Nc
Cams and the Starks have
openly carried on a bitter
feud. When Julia Stark
comes home from school in
Los Angeles and sees Will
lam McCann, there is the
call of youth to youth. Then
old Stark is found dead with
a bullet hole in his temple
and young McCann stand
ing by. Almost simultane-
ously there is a shot and
McCann falls. Enemies
though they are, Julia
nurses him back to life. De-
spising him for what she
believes he did, yet loving
him for himself-she works
out her own romance.
William Macleod Raine
has given us a story of a
desert feud, of lives filled
with active living, with
great hates, great adven-
lures, great loves "a story
which holds the reader to
the interest of the rapidly
developing plot.

POST OFFICE DAY

1t is suggested by the Washington bicen-
tennial commission that July 26 be celebrated
as Post Office Day, as it was on July 26, Its,
that the Continental Congress established
postal department and named Benjamin
Franklin as our first postmaster general.
When Washington assumed the presi-
dency in 1889 there were only rs post offices
and 1,175 miles of post roads in the United
States, and the postal revenues were only
about $4,000 year. When he left office
eight years later there were 554 post offices
and 5000 miles of post roads, while reve
nues had increased to $214000 annually.
1t took another half century for postal
revenues to reach five millions year and at
the beginning of the Civil War they were on
ly about eight and half millions. In 1880
the revenues passed the 700 million mark,
and even then there was deficit of nearly
100 millions. Last year the postal deficit was
much greater.
1t is suggested that Post Office Day be
celebrated with speeches emphasizing the
history, growth and Importance of the postal
service. That service has most impressive
record. marred only by the mounting deficit
which has become severe drain on the pub
lie treasury.

THE IMPORTANT QUESTION
(Thief River Falls Times)

(Thief River Falls Times)
Another thing can't understand is why the
prohibition question should be major political is
Why all the excitement about it? One would
gather from the attention this problem is receiving
that the life of the nation and the happiness of the
people depended upon the outcome of the present
controversy.
There much drinking before prohibition.
The situation then was very unsatisfactory. That's
why have prohibition. There is much drinking
now. The present condition Is very unsatisfactory.
Perhaps system should be tried. Fair
enough Offer another solution and let the majority
decide whether not they want to try it. There
is nothing about that for anybody to get wormy
about.
There just two suggestions would like to
make. We wish the vets wouldn't try to convince
that we drink ourselves rich From strictly
economic standpoint we convinced that the more
drink the poorer will be. Legalzing beer will
not increase the price of barley and the money that
will be spent for beer will not be spent for automo
biles canvass gloves or the many other things the
sale of which gives employment to people. On the
other side of the question wish the drys would
quit shouting for law observance and start preach
ing temperance again. Temperance is more impor-
tant than prohibition. The saloon system failed be-
of intemperance. Prohibition is failing be-
cause of intemperance What need now, always
have need and always will need is the preaching of
temperance The law against murder is not the thing
that keeps from numbering one another. We go
days at a time without numbering our neighbors
largely because have within deep rooted feel
ing that murder, somehow or other, is an evil. A
surprisingly large number of people do not feel that
way about drinking. The preaching of temperance
may convince some of them.
To large extent drinking is an individual prob
lem and to some extent each individual has it within
his power to remain sober get drunk. Let
be thankful that there is law that forces
to drink The legal political phase of the ques-
ton is for the majority to decide. The important
question is what is the best and most effective way
of controlling liquor. Let the majority decide what
can, well what should be done. Let's confine
the argument to the real issue.

EARLE BROWN OR FLOYD OLSON
(Mille Laos Lake Mes.

(Mille Laos Lake Messenger)
Earle Brown is the formal nominee of the
opposed by the present governor Floyd Olson It is
too early in the campaign for any extended discus
sion but there is thought that wish to bring
to readers in time for them to give it plenty of
consideration in the hope that it will not be forgot
ten before November. In fact. it is not unlikely
that shall bring it to their attention from time
to time. Here is the thought:
Floyd Olson is a lawyer and we believe, good
He adopted this profession in the hope that it
would make him a living and enable him to save
enough to provide for his old age He is not rich and
so must earn living if he is to have one and must
provide for his old age if it is to be provided for
At the height of his career he abandons his profess
sion for a one, the profession of politics. He
works at his profession with the energy,
and is it not fair to say for the purpose, that
marked his a lawyer? Is it not fair to
assume that he believes political offers more
profit than the career of lawyer? Mr.. Olson was
not shanghaied from his law office. He is his own
most efficient and consistent booster.
Compare him with Earle Brown. Mr.. Brown
born to wealth, and is wealthy now. He was shang-
haied from his peaceful life as a country gentleman
and scientific farmer to become sheriff of Hennepiu
county and he filled the position better than it was
ever filled before since. He was drafted from the
sheriffs office to head the newlyorganized highway
patrol and he spent much of his own money to make
of it the highly efficient body it is Now he has been
drafted to for governor.
His record shows that he is not in politics for
what it will bring him. He is not Interested in plans
to living. His old age is provided for. He is
willing to work for us because thousands of us have
asked him to- and because he is good citizen. He
would not work for for any for money, be-
cause he does not need money.
Who is most likely to give the people square
deal, the man who works for us because we have
us, the man who asks to be governor to further
his interests?

WHY WOMEN ARE LATE

From time immemorial husbands have
complained of the long time it took their
wives to dress; men have observed that wom-
en- did not heed the flight of time, but car
ried on interminable telephone conversations
without realizing how long they talked, and
so on.
This apparent lack Of regard for time by
the fair sex has long been the source of end
less comment-often profane. But now it
has all been explained, thanks to modern
psychology.
Exhaustive tests conducted at Johns
Hopkins University show that women just
naturally can't help it. They don't realize the
meaning of "tempus fugit."
These tests developed the fact that wom-
en- on an average estimate the time it takes
them toperform given task about one-half
the actual time required. DR.. Isabel Stewart,
who conducted the tests, which were made
with 1,04S students, both men and women,
said:
'Men estimate more accurately. The in
accuracies of women imply that time really
seems shorter to women than to men,"
Which recalls the joke of a Photographer
who wrote: Married men do not live longer
it just seems longer"

The following taken from a circular sent to
retail merchants by large wholesale house: The
value of your local newspaper to the of
business cannot be overstimated It's worth all the
support and cooperation you can give it. For the
newspaper is mirror rejecting the life of the
community in which you and your store have an i'm

If it is not there, the mirror is dark where your

IN the lake and head them in various directions
invariably they will right themselves and head for

they are leaving. The phenomenon is unexplainable

A SOUND POLICY

Judging from the record of the Hoover
administration with respect to it's relations
with Latin-America, and the declarations Of
foreign policy in the Democratic platform, it
appears that our present enlightened attitude
toward neighboring nations of the Western
Hemisphere will be continued, regardless of
which political party wins in November.
However our intentions may have been
misunderstood, this country has always been
solicitious for the stability of popular gov
eminent in Latin-America. The Monroe Doc
trine is intended to be protection, and not
a menace, to the independence of the Central
and South American republics.
A perplexing problem resulting from
this friendly solicitude has been the matter
of recognizing new governments which have
arisen through Latin-American revolutions.
In recent years, such governments apparent
ly approved by majority of the people con-
cerned have been given prompt recognition,
regardless of the means whereby they came
into power.
In the case of Central America, how
ever, the situation has been complicated, be-
cause of treaty made by the five Central
American republics in 1928, which provided
that neither would recognize new govern
ment in any other if it were established by
force While this country was not a party to
the treaty, it has felt morally bound to adj
here to it's provisions. ~--~
This has perhaps worked an injustice in
some cases, especially with respect to the
present regime in Ell Salvador, which, al
though force, is manifestly a popular gov
eminent and one friendly to the United
States and to the legitimate rights of foreign
interests. In this case it might be well for
the United States to waive the technicalties
involved and support the Martinez admins
tration by giving it official recognition.
