Beverly Hills-Well all know IS
just what read in the papers. Now
there's not much use writing about
politics, for it's just in about the
same shapes it's been in. If things
get better Mr.. Hoover will be elect
ed, and if it don't why he wont.
So that's all there is to politics.
One side is in and wants to stay
in, the other side is out and wants
to get in, and there is no difference
between EN-, they are both good If
things are going good, and both ter
rible if things are bad, so just
throw up a coin and go to the poles.
I have Always maintained that
the office of President should be for
six years with no reelection. It's
not right that President should
have to "Lectioneer' and work on
his next campaign. Its not fair to
him. He is naturally human, and
going to use every legimate means
of staying in office, so that takes
up too much of his valuable time.
He owes the Nation that time. He
don't owe it to his political hench-
men that want to stay in with him.
Oh yes, then I got another
scheme, President retires at half
pay for life, that relieves his wor-
rvs of a personal financial nature
and makes him feel in his old days
that his work and devotion to his
country was always appreciated.
Now these are just a couple of Rog-
ers Bills, course they will never get
anywhere but the Sunday Supple
ment, but I bet you that any ex-
President will say the idea is not
so cuckoo.
Everybody has got scheme 20
set the world back right again.
Come to think of it, can't remem-
Der when it ever was right. There
has been times when it has been
right for you, and you and you, but
never all at the same time. The
whole thing is a teeter board even
when its supposed to be going good.
You are going up and somebody is
coming down. You can't make a
dollar without taking 1t from some
body. So every time we wish for
something for our own personal
gain, we are wishing somebody else
bad luck, so maby that's why SO
few of our wishes come to any
thing.
Our picture business is picking
up. that Is the studios are making
more than at any time in the last
few years. We are all making EN-
in hopes we strike a good one. It's
just like fishing, we never know
when the Public is going to bite.
With all their unfailing judgement
the Public has bit at some bad

GOV. OLSON KEYNOTES

Monday evening Gov. Floyd Olson de-
livered his keynote speech OF the campaign
at the st. Paul Auditorium.
He called it an accounting of his stew
ardship of the past and promises for the flu
ture
The Governor is very Sociaiistic in his
tendencies. The appointment of extreme
radicals to important positions of trust bear
out this statement.
Much of the valuable time of the Gov
ernor was taken up in TRADE against Pres
ident Hoover and the Republican Hierarchy
in Minnesota.
Some one, a long time ago, made about
the following statement: "Whom the Gods
would destroy, they first make mad"
The Governor is mad; mad clear
through.
The straightforward statements and
promises of Republican Candidate for Cover
nor, Earle Brown, and the continual har-
pooning Of Democratic Candidate for Gov
ernor Regain has Mr.. Olson badly on the spot.
He is having much trouble visualizing
his reelection in November.
With the increased cost of state govern
ment and departmental inefficiency since he
assumed office two years ago, it is not to be
wondered at that he is not only mad, but
heartsick
1t is expected he will "tear the cover off,
in the remaining days of the campaign with
more viscious rantings as the chances of his
reelection wane.
AS harranguer Mr.. Olson is volumin-
GUS. AS statesmen he is not so hot.

A DUAL COMMUNITY DUTY

The Community newspaper owes a duty
to the community.
The community owes duty to the COM
munity newspaper.
A healthy community newspaper is gen.
orally accepted as representative of the pros
perity and progresSivenesS of the community
in which it is published.
The Herald, in line with all of the bet
ter community newspapers published every
where, during it's more than IS years of ex-
istence, has supported every worthwhile
movement for the development of this COM
munity.
In the past years merchants from St.
Cloud and other places have endeavored to
purchase advertising space in the Herald.
Where this business came in competition
with Sank Centre merchants it has been
generally refused.
The latest refusal of this type of adver
Using was for the issue of Sept. ~.
The business men of Sank Centre have
quite generally co-operated with the Herald
by advertising their wares.
Various types of publicity are available;
most all have some merit. The most success
full business men use newspaper space almost
exclusively. Experience has taught them it
pays best.
The Herald compares favorably with
other newspapers published in cities of
Sank Centres size and trading areas. Rates
as compiled by the Minnesota Editorial AS
ISOLATION disclose that the Herald's display
advertising rates are lower than the average
of those of the Herald's size and proven cir
culation.
The welfare of any community is best
served where the newspaper and business
and professional men work hand in hand

COLUMBUS DAY

Columbus Day, October IL, now observed
In most states, this year marks the 440th
anniversary of the discovery of America by
Christopher Columbus which opened new
world to settlement and exploitation.
The story of Columbus is one of the
most tragic, in all history Born in Genoa
about the year 1896, the date being uncer-
tain, he was the son of wool-comber He
received some instruction in science and nav
igation at the University of Pavia, and went
to sea at the age of IA.
During the next few years he visited
most of the ports of the then known world
About 1470 he began to mediate on the pos
sibility of reaching Asia by sailing westward,
having become convinced of the spherical
shape of the earth. Desiring to lead an ex-
petition of exploration he appealed in vain
to the rulers of Genoa, Portugal and Eng
land, and finally to Ferdinand and Isabella,
of Spain.
After many heartbreaking rebuffs and de-
lays Queen Isabella at last was instrumental
in financing the voyage, with three small
ships-the Santa Maria, SO men; Pinta, 80
men, and Nina, "a men-which sailed from
Palos on August 3, 1892. During the voyage
fears of the sailors nearly caused mutiny at
times, but Columbus kept them in hand and
on October IL, 1892, was rewarded by the
sight of land, which proved to be an island,
probably one of the Bahama group.
Attempts at colonization and other voy-
ages followed, but dissatisfaction with the
rule of Columbus resulted in his being sent
back to Spain in chains. Although he was
permitted to make his fourth and last voy-
age after that, he was never restored to his
rights, and he died broken and forsaken
man, on May 20, 1906, at Valladolid, Spain.
But his remains were still to cross the
Atlantic again and return. He was buried
first at Seville, Spain; then his body was re-
moved to San Domingo, Haiti, in 1912; to
Havana, Cuba, in 1875, and finally back to
Seville, in 1898.
Columbus Day was first observed in Col
orado, but largely through the efforts of the
Knights of Columbus its observance has be-
come widespread throughout the United
States.

ones, so we keep on having a sup
ply of them on hand, figuring that
ours might be the sucker picture
they would go for.
Some of the biggest money max
ers have been some of the biggest
fakes, as far as being real is con-
cerned. But on the other hand the
good ones that have done business
deserved to do it. The old Public
is pretty smart after all. They
don't bite at a bad one as often as
they do a good one.
But what am getting at is that
these fellows that judge the Public,
make and sell the pictures, they
must feel pretty certain that there
is quite a few more dimes and
quarters "Just around the Corner"
or they wouldent be putting all
these millions into these sliding
chromos. Talking to fellow that
was just over from France, he is a
producer over there, he says the
Germans are making the best pic
lures in Europe. The big hits of
Paris are some German pictures.
England is doing better, Italy not
so much, (this is all what he said,
not what I said). Russia goes in
for sort Of "Art" mixed with propa-
ganda. You see art is when you
do something just cockeyed from
what is the right way to do it, then
its art. When you get to monkey
ing with art, why you just about
commerce behind. You can make
a picture that is saturated with
"Art" but it's liable to not be even
"Dilued" with gate receipts. The
mob knows that the old cat has kit
tens and raises EN- in about the
same way year after year.
But its all say, they are max
ing more pictures, now who is go
ing to look at EN- don't know.
But I was just telling you, thot
it might make you feel a little bet
ter to know that somewhere some
place there was a few more people
at work. We are not as high sal
aried as we were, we are not as
cocky as we were, we are not IS
foolish as we were, but we are hap
pier, saner, Eve hope) and willing
to take care of your wants in the
picture line, and not our prefer
ences. We are just a lot of hired
help in a business that strives to
please, for we are like the Presi-
dent, we want to stay in office as
long as possible.

Low Butter Prices Forcing Better
Cows

Low Butter Prices Forcing Better
How present low butterfat prices
force dairymen to keep better cows
is clearly demonstrated in Special
Bulletin 152, by E. A. Hanson, Ex-
tension Division at University
Farm. Calculations based on
large number of records kept in
Minnesota Dairy Herd Improve
ment Associations show the rela-
ton between high butter fat pro-
duction and the profit which a cow
can make for her owner.
When butterfat sold for so cents
a pound and feed was valued at the
prices prevailing from 1924 to 1929,
a cow producing 100 pounds of but
terfat a year returned $40 over feed
cost. A 200-pound cow returned
So year over feed cost, and 300
pound cow $92. However, with
butterfat at rs cents a pound and
feed costs as of March 1882, the
100-pound COW loses her owner $11
per year; a 200-pound COW returns
SO over feed cost; and 300-pound
COW $27. These figures make it
very clear that the lower butterfat
prices are, the more careful dairy
men must be to keep only high
producing cows.
Herd records obtained by weigh
ing and testing the milk from each
COW regularly, therefore, are more
important now than ever. Mime
sofa dairymen have three ways IN
which they can secure such herd
records. One way is the Standard
Cow Testing or Dairy Herd I'M
provement Association; another is
the Statewide Testing associa-
ton, and the third way is through
private records kept by the dairy
man himself. All of these systems
are fully discussed in the bulletin.
For dairymen who wish to keep
! records for themselves, the bulle-
tin gives advice on the equipment
needed and full directions for
weighing and testing milk, compil-
ing the records and applying the
information in culling, feeding and
breeding. Any dairyman may have
a copy on request from county
agents, high school agriculture in
structors, or by writing the mailing
room, University Farm, st. Paul.

PRESIDENT HOOVER DEFENDS
STEWARDSHIP

Iowa, Kansas and several of the other
midwest and northwest states were definite
ly removed from the doubtful column in the
presidential campaign Tuesday evening at
the conclusion of President Hoover's &C
count of his nearly four years of steward
ship as chief executive of the Nation, at Des-
Moines, Iowa.
The millions who heard this address over
nationwide radio hookup, listened to a
man who has definite nationwide grasp of
the economic situation affecting agriculture
and business.
Mr.. Hoover's distinguished Democratic
opponent a few days ago completed swing
through IA of the midwest and western
states, delivering many addresses filled with
platitudes and generalities, in most instances
meaningless, indicating quite clearly that he
was endeavoring to say as little as possible
which would definitely place him on record
for or against any of the issues confronting
the people of the nation. His campaign, and
that of his managers is to sing the song of
discomfort, rather than placing it upon the
high plane of craftsmanship.
1t is far cry from the fighting, virile
Theodore Roosevelt, to the late Presidents
fifth cousin, Franklin Roosevelt.
The citizenry of America listened to a
new Hoover Tuesday evening. Of Quaker
birth and environment the President has suf-
fered in silence in the past the malicious
against him, starting even before he was
elected in 1928.
Mr.. Hoover is not good politician. He
is too clean and too honest to sink to the
low level of modern politics. Big business
r. ~ L 40
tion four years ago. They fell in line when
they found that MIR. Hoover's nomination
could not be stopped
Tuesday evenings address was a clean
cut statement of his stewardship. He did
not hesitate to brand as false the misstate-
ments and half truth utterances of his OPP
ponents.
The failure of passage of some of the
important legislation recommended by him
to alleviate conditions, was placed squarely
upon the shoulders of Democratic house,
where it belongs.
Tuesday evening even Mr.. Hoover's most
ardent admirers must have been impressed
with the wide knowledge he had of the coun-
try's affairs. The Hoover of today is a
bigger and better qualified man than he was
when he took office March 4, 1929. The ex-
perience of the four years has broadened
and better equipped him to carry on. He is
certainly better qualified for the important
work of the next four years than is his DEM
ocratic opponent
One of the achievements of the Hoover
administration was the securing of the sign"
ing of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Inland
Waterway treaty. It only remains for the
United States Senate and the Canadian par
lament to ratify this treaty to make it op.
erative.
There is no piece of legislation ever
passed which will be so beneficial to the
farmer and business men of the midwest and
northwest, as this treaty
