MODESTY AS A POSE

Modesty is most commendable trait,
but like many other worthy characteristics,
it probably can be carried too far. This OBJ
servation was suggested by looking over the
Congressional Directory, in which short life
sketches of senators and representatives ap-
pear.
These sketches are generally written by
the gentlemen concerned and are useful to
editors and others who may have occasion to
scan the records of these worthless. But
some of them are disappointing in their lack
of details, while others appear unnecessarily
padded with irrelevant matter.
Several members of Congress confine
their sketches to a mere statement of the
number of sessions to which they have been
elected, while one simply states his name and
place of residence. Now, is it real modesty
which prompts these gentlemen to refrain
from telling something about their past ca
reers which might be interesting and useful
information to those who look for it in the
directory?
We do not believe it is modesty. Our
experience is that persons who enter politics
and wage effective campaigns for election to
Congress are not shrinking violets. When
one of them confines his sketch to one sent
ence in the Congressional Directory it is sim
ply pose. He is not really that modest.

Strangers in Love


From the manner in which the
Uptown theatre audience accepted
strangers in Love-" Fredric
March can chalk another mark to
his list of screen successes. The
reaction of that audience exem-
plified its appreciation for this
actor in loud sweeps of applause
each time he finished a piece of
business. But he did not stand
alone in this reclamation. Kay
Francis was admired for her cap
able delineation of the secretary
Stuart Erwin as the hard-boiled
buddy, Gertrude Howard as the
colored servant, Juliette Compton
as the vampire, George Barber as
the lovable father, Lucien Little
field as the staid old professor and
Sidney Toler as the stupid detec-
tive were all well received. All
blend well in supporting March for
the purpose of telling story TAX
en- from the William J. Locke
novel "The Shorn Lamb"
The story concerns twin brothers
both played by March by double
exposure, until one dies from a
heart attack after meeting the
other who had not been home for
several years. The prodigal son
assumes the role of the dead
brother and tries to carry on his
life. This gives a strong foundation
to build many amusing situations
until the imposter is finally dis
covered at the climax of the pic
ture.
This outstanding show will be
presented at the Oxford Theatre
Friday and Saturday evenings of
this week.

SENTIMENTAL AND SELFISH

Grand Ripids, MINI, Herald Review
Most of the arguments concerning trading at
home have been worn out with constant repetition.
Yet the subject is still vital and important one.
During the past few years there have been i'm
portant changes in merchandising. The argument
by most local merchants is not much to trade
at home to trade with the particular type Of store
that they represent. Mail order business has de-
clined and most of the mail order houses have es-
tablished their retail outlets
The method of distributing merchandise over the
seller, never firmly established than today.
That is favorable fact for local merchants
The local merchant still has his competition. It
is usually in the next town nearby city.
The appeal to people to buy at home must be put
upon more than mere sentimental grounds, though
there is force to the argument of loyalty to friends
neighbors and customers.
Many people in small communities state that they
cannot buy as cheaply at home in some distant
point. Sometimes facts bear out this argument But
when people live in small community they must
expect to do business the basis that is essential
success Of business in smaller town. 1t is selfish
to expect customers to pay the prices that you
ask and yet be unwilling to pay fair prices for what
you buy of them. Business must be done at pro-
fit. If you get profit yourself you must expect to
pay one to the other fellow.
We not discouraged about the small town and
CITY, Some folks say that decline of the smaller
tiers is inevitable There is little to prove it. Popul
ton is not growing rapidly in smaller communities
in the cities. But the cities have grown too rap
idly-too many Of their people have work Popu-
lation is asset unless that population is well
ployed
On every hand there is evidence of Improvement
in small communities. That improvement consists
of better streets schools highways homes and stores
And with all of these things there is most reason
ing evidence of community loyalty spirit which
makes for sound development and for general good
will
When you trade at home you help other people
to trade with you. These both sentimental and
selfish reasons for trading with your neighbors

Crippled Vet Will Conduct Legion
School

When the commanders of 1853
Minnesota Legion posts go to
school again at their annual spring
conference in Hotel Nicollet, Min
neapolis April 80, their teacher
will be totally disabled veteran,
Commander Ray Winslow, of Rob-
binsdale, who will preside from his
wheel chair.
Years ago his doctors told Ray
he had not long to live. At that
time he could not leave his bed.
But Ray was too busy to complain.
With the aid Of telephone INSTALL
ed by his bedside, he helped prove
the claims of other disabled COM
rades in ,Robbinsdale and mean
while built up a thriving magazine
subscription agency with the aid
of Mrs. Winslow.
Instead of dying, his health i'm
proved. Always he radiated cheer
fulness and helpfulness. When
other people were too busy to SUI
pervise a job, Ray was made chair
man. Within the last year he be-
came well enough to use a wheel
chair. Under his direction all pre-
vious community fund totals were
exceeded in last falls drive.
Then he was made chairman of
the Christmas seal sale, and again
all records were so well smashed
that Robbinsdale won the Henne-
pin county prize for surprising by
the greatest percentage the prev
+ ious years receipts.
AS commander of his Legion
post for 1882, Mr.. Winslow has Sc
cured an enrolment three times
greater than the quota of members
assigned Robbinsdale Because of
all this and because his zeal, spirit
and unselfish service are an inspir-
alton to all who meet him, Depart
ment Commander Oscar Young
dahl chose Post Commander Ray
Winslow of Robinsdalte to preside
over the annual school for Gopher
Legion leaders.

Feminine fans who take their
fashion tips from the screen will
have opportunity of seeing the
twenty-five costume changes worn
by Joan Bennette in the Fox ro-
nance, "She Wanted a Million
aire," which will be at the Oxford
Theatre Sunday and Monday.
The gowns worn by Miss Ben
nett range from the sleazy dresses
and blue denim smocks of her fac
tory days to the special creation
worn by her in the coronation ball
after her winning of the Atlantic
City beauty contest which is a
highlight of the picture. These in
clude sport ensembles, sun-tan
swim suits, afternoon frocks and
gorgeous evening gowns. Another,
and perhaps the most daring cos
tune, is the dazzling decollete in
which she is crowned Queen at the

To Tax or Cut?
Cincinnati Enquirer. )


 Caught between cross-fire of general and spec al interest the Congress finds itself almost alone in facing the most serious and perplaxng problem that has confronted it in years-the balancing of the budget
 On the hand it's members are assailed with pleas to prevent increase in taxes On the other they deafened by outraged protests against cut ting certain appropriations. And just to make it harder hardly day passes that member of the Congress does not arise and propose a new lnostrum ranging both ways from the dole, for the icountrys economic ills.
 That the leaders aware of the problem is indicated by statements from Washington. Speaker John N. Garner, Majority Leader Henry T. Rainey and Minority Leader B. H Shell are unanimous in their belief that the balancing of the budget is "the most important of all constructive issues before Congress- and that it is "the primary need in economic recovery and confidence"
 Speaker Garner expresses the hope that a tax bill to bring in $100O0OO00O annually can be framed believing such measure would balance the budget mands for relief and protests against proposed economies in appropriation bills will endanger the plan to balance the budget.
 It seems that every citizen is protesting against an increase in taxes. and then, as a member of some special group is even vehemently pro- testing against the cutting of specific appro lpriation.
 The general interest should outweigh the special The budget should be balanced, if possible through economics rather than through increased taxes By all means, let the cuts in appropriations be made when they be made without endangering too greatly the national welfare
 And don't forget the bureaus when the cuts are being made.

The Government as Business Wrecker.
lReporter and Herald. Loyeland. colol

tRepoTter and Heraldy LOveland, Coo0
 From the matter of drifting amlessly into the stream of business the Government now seems to be driving full steam ahead and taking the short cuts to ports that indicates this nation is diverg- ing from the solid foundations on which it was lestabltshed-a strong centa government that guar anteed equal rights for all and special privileges flor none Government that recognized the authority of individual States in their domains and conceded to the citizenship the rights privileges and protection of individual initiative, a Govern lment that was free from businses entanglements, and above all from competition with legitimate busi ness enterprises.
 For than a quarter of a century this Government of ours has been actively engaged in lcompetition with the great printing industries Not for profit you are told by the advocates of the Government envelope printing monopoly, and this is true, for the Government handles this business at la financial loss. But what about it's insiduous invasion of this field of private endeavor denying the printers fair profit, and in fact placing them in the light of making exhorbitant charges? Hay ing to pay taxes transportation charges and decen6 wages it stands to the printers cannot meet the prices of the Government, and to the casual observer at least they must bear the stigma of "profteers.s
 And who is it that profits by this unfair com petition of the Government? Not the individual citizens. That fact. is too apparent to need the showing of proof. It is the big business interests l to whom these envelopes are provided by the mil lions, and at actual loss to the Government, if dll CoSts WoulQ pc correctly Auu the aver age citizen makes up that loss in additional taxes lis this a proper governmental function? Is this not rank discrimination against one of the biggest industries in the Nation?
 But this is not the only exception. The Gov ernment control and regulation of our great rail- road systems have virtually put them the rocks The attempt to regulate the markets of grain and cotton growers has resulted in chaos and prac- ticaly ruined those citizens who had their personal investments in these trades. And similar instances might be cited in other industries and personal en- deavors In fact the Government through a system of group agitation and demands has assumed a paternalistic attitude that has shattered public confidence and is rapidly wreckng individual in- itiative
 How much longer will American citizens who glory in the advancement and progress their coun- try has made due to the driving force and in- itiative and business acumen of individual citizens stand for this Government policy that is destroy ing personal endeayor and creating a socialistic order?

ALASKA JUNEAU's DEEP ORE.

San Francisco announcements of discoveries oi richer ore in the deep level explorations now carried on aggressively by the Alaska Juneau are of highest importance to this community, and in fact to the Alaska mining industry generally. Last year, oper- atng on ore that averaged less than s1 per ton the mine had it's greatest and most profitable year Its January net surplus well that for De- cenlber and November of 1881, not up to the average for last year, but even if it should not increase for the remaining Il months, the years operating surplus would total S880,O00.
 The new ore. described in The Empire last Sat- urday naturally will not find it's way into the mil in any volume in the immediate future The com panys operations below the main hauage level are strictly exploratory No mining is being done, and none is expected until the prospecting program now well it's second year has been carried out However the fact that the explorations are demon strating richer ore reserves at depth, and in con- siderable quantity, is the most encouraging news that the Alaska Juneau has given to Juneau as well as to it's stockholders, since it emerged from a defict-produeer stage to become profitable property.

Centre. Not only is it unfair to expect man to retire from active life at the age of 65 years. but it would deprive the public of the services of many men whose talents of the highest order he contended.
 Tn ability, personality and efficiency, much to be desired human qualities in all walks of life, it is natural that men from 40 to 65 and beyond are apt to be superior to those of lesser years In fact many men who have reached four score years are far ahead of many who just attaining their majority.
 Dr. Landis divided the adult mental life into the years between 20 and 45, and between 45 and 65, and those after 65 Before 45" he commented i've know that the ability to learn shows but little decline from it's highest peak, which the average individual reaches between IS and 25.n Tn limiting the ages of usefulness by agegrouping he detected grave mistake The individual capacity of the adult student is a much important factor in his program than his age Thus, he said: A bright man of 50 learn and profit by training while dull unnterested man of 25 will not. You can teach an intelligent old dog new and valuable tricks, but you cannot teach a stupid puppy any thing of value And whether applied to men or canines that assertion will stand unchanenged.
