after name I would ask him about,
names that us middle agels, and
old timers were almost raised on.
Names like Hans Wagner. Just
think of what that man for twenty
years contributed of enjoyment and
thrills of American life. Chief
Bender, the greatest strategist pit
cher of all time. Mordeci Brown,
Johnny Evers, and dear Iris Speak
er, perhaps the greatest outfielders
of all time.
OF course you will say, well
they were well paid, why dident
they save?" Did you ever try
working six months, then laying off
six, and seeing how much you
could save? If they were thrifty
they naturally bought them home.
Well they commence passing over
the hill of oblivion at the decrepid
old age of perhaps IS. Why what
was in store for him? My goodness
you can be specialized in any line

our popular mode of living, crime

their communities.
All the sporting writers from the
east that are covering the Giants
and Detroit teams training were
there, along with our local boys. All
a fine bunch of fellows. Tile Shat

has of course been good too, Fred
Snodgrass, Bucky Harris, a very
smart manager and high class cap
able young fellow. Bozeman Bulg-
err, the fine old sports writer, was
the POSTMASTER. Eddie Mayer, our
local fine fellow. There was a host
of EN-. Among the new was Bill
Terry, the king of first basemen to-
day, Freddie Lindstrom, all around
player. A mixture of the old and
the new, all giving or had given
their lives to entertainment of the
public, paying respects to McGraw
who after all these years is still at
the top of the heap, the fairy god
father to more old time ball play
ers than any man living. All these
have contributed to what made our
country proud of its sports. Good
luck to EN-. Long may they live,
and the umpire good fortune give
EN- an even break.

THE ROSE BEYOND THE WALL
By Rev. John w. Holland. D. d.

Near a shady wall rose bush grew.
Budded and bossomed in Gods pure light
Fed by rain, and gladdened by dew,
Shedding it's sweetness day and night.
AS it climbed and dourshed fair and tall
Rising slowly to queenlier height,
It came to crevice in the wall
Through which there shone beam of light.
On through the crevice the rose branch grew.
With only the ray of light to guide,
And came at length Ia a prospect new.
The glory and CLEAN of the other side.
The light the dew, the broadening scene.
It found the same it knew Of yore,
With beauteous~ petals, and foliage green,
It bloomed in fragrance as before.
If death shall cause our hearts to grieve
Shall our weak courage faint and fall
Ah no! We may still in Faith believe,
They live. like the rose, beyond the wall!

Business may be bad, but progress never ceases.
That should encourage us.
Shall some day talk to the planet Mars by
radio and at the same time study the Martians by
television? 1t is not unthinkable since the ether
untes Mars and the earth and radio operates through
the ether.
In pasteboard box in Kansas City, with hot
water bottles around it, lies small male human be-

will live.
This smallest baby born too soon, somewhat I'M

liquid from eye-dropper
All mothers will be intensely interested in the

in old L. A. went to little dinner

children to argue with over old tim

this one and enjoyed every minute
of it.
It was John J. McGraw, manager
of the famous New York Giants. I
have known him many years. He
has some of the finest human quail
tiles of any man in any line of
sports. John McGraw has helped
more old time base ball players
than all the club owners who have
made money out of them combined.
You know it's a kind of an odd
thing. There has never been a
rich club owner either living or in
his will who has done one thing
toward the aid of the men who
gave from ten to fifteen years of
the best parts of their lives to our
great national sport and pastime.
There has been some rich men
owned teams, lots Of EN- because
they loved the game, but lots of EN-

AN AGGRAVATED CONGRESSIONAL
MIDDLE

The big moguls of the Minnesota legisla-
ture in their eagerneSs to gerrymander the
Congressional districts of the state to their
liking in redistricting the state, reducing the
number of Congressional districts from 10 to
nine, are responsible for a nasty political
mess.
Gov. Olson, as the child of Minneapolis,
vetoed the bill, alleging in effect that the
measure Disseminated against the Flour
City.
The bill was passed the last days of the
session, too late for new bill to be drafted.
Some of the ablest lawyers in the State
insisted that the bill was a law as the Federal
constitution gave the legislatures full power
to redistrict the states, and the signature of
the governor was not necessary.
The matter was carried to the Minnesota
Supreme Court which held the law was effec-
tive in spite of the Governors veto.
The question was then taken to the Unit
ed States Supreme Court for final adjucation.
Several other states were in the same guam
dry as Minnesota
Monday the highest tribunal in the land,
in a lengthy decision prepared by Chief JUS
tice Hughes, reversed the findings of the
Minnesota Court.
Now Minnesota is in quandry.
Gov. Olson refused to call a spe-
cial session of the Legislature to pass re-
medal legislation.
The presumption is that the candidates
will run at large for the congressional posts.
Good attorneys, number of those who
fought to sustain the Governors veto, in
sist that the state constitution does not pro-
vide method of electing the Congressman
at large That it will take legislative en-
actment to provide way.
Meanwhile Secretary of State Mike Holm
does not know how to proceed. The at
tofney General has been appealed to. His
decision may be carried to the Supreme Court
for adjustment.
Should it finally be decided that candi-
dates must run at large the large centers of
population will have all the advantage. There
will be horde of candidates and the Aver
age Voter will be caught between the "Sea
and Deep Water" using the pet phrase of a
former we'll known local citizen. The names
ending with "son" will carry an advantage
of thousands of votes.
With existing conditions there is an ex-
cellent opportunity for the Farmer-I .abor
delegation in Congress to be increased.
The Herald believes there are only two
members of the present Minnesota delega-
ton who can be reasonably sure of election
Hon. w. A. Nolan, of the Fifth, Minneapolis
district, and Congressman Kvale, of the
Seventh.
Under the law a candidate is permitted
to spend not to exceed $500 for his pre-pri-
mary and prediction campaigns.
With the candidates all running at large
there will be lot of side-stepping of ex-
penses to keep within the law. It simply
can't be done.
The Herald predicted several months ago
that there was a strong probability of the
congressman being elected at large.
The Governor decidedly has the whip
in hand in the controversy. Viewing the sit
uation from selfish political standpoint, as
he probably does, he will allow those respon-
sible for the situation to do the worrying.

Lost 20 lbs of Fat
In Just 4 Weeks

Mrs. Mae West of st. Louis, Mo-,

weighed ITO lbs. until taking one
box of your Kruschen Salts just 4
weeks ago. I now weigh $50 lbs. I
also have more energy and further
more I've never had hungry mo-

Fat folks should take one-half
teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a
glass of hot water in the morning
before breakfast-it's the SAFE
harmless way to reduce as tens of

For your health's sake ask for

ST. PAUL-The state supreme court today ruled
that c. E. Tuttle, of Hastings, Mimi, register OF

and not to influence voters. There was no talk about
Tuttles candidacy at the times the court said.

Chief Justice S. B. Wilson. seems to be that the
