WHAT OTHE rs SAY:

The weekly newspapers which the
subscribers wait for and which they
read because of its reader interest, is
the best advertising medium that can
be found.
You never have your neighbor bor-
row a shopping sheet to read the adj
vertising, but they do borrow the week.
ly paper to read the news of their
community. A newsless newspaper
would bring forth a great wall from
both advertisers and subscribers.
Few people realize the actual cover
age of even the most modest news
paper. An advertising expert, after
careful research made the following
statement: 1.-The metropolitan paper is
read, on the average, for the space of
20 minutes, while the average weekly
newspaper has reading life" of three
hours to it's credit 1t is kept around
the house for week and everyone
in the family takes his turn in going
through its pages"

a historic nature, we found sub

Did you ever hear of anyone bothering
to keep a scrap book, with clippings
from a shopping sheet? All of which
goes to show that the weekly newspaper
fills an important place in life of the

Did you ever realize that the small
town editor always has to see his world
through rose-colored glasses? When a
guy dies. he's saint; when a guy
marrieS, he's to be congratulated; when
a guy loses his job, he resigned; when
he makes a failure of a venture, he
has a better opening in view; when a
performance is performed, it's superb;
when a family moves away, their de-
parture is to be regretted; and so on,
and so on. And incidentally, folks, it's
a mighty fine way to view the common
place doings of your fellow men, now
amt it?-Stephen Messenger.
ThereIl be no more half witS-or
maybe nit-witS-in Germany after this,
if eugenics has anything to do with
stopping their birth. Under new law
there, which goes into effect Jan. /,
everybody-male or female-who shows
any indication of being afflicted with
congenital feeble mindedness, st. Vitas
dance, blindness, deafness, or serious
bodily deformities, will be sterilized. so
as not to produce children with the
same weaknesses. A court of eugenics
will be formed to investigate everyone
suspected of being afflicted. And un-
less the victim submits voluntarily to
the operation, the government will do
it by force We dread to contemplate
the fate of some of our congressman
if we had such law over here

From Theodore Christianson's column
in the Dawson Sentinel we take the
following.
Uncle Sam paid France SIS 900
for Louisiana. There are some who
would sell Louisiana back to France for
that sum if Huey Long could be thrown
in on the deal.
We do not know from whom Min
nesota was secured. 1t might have been
in part from France, England and the
Indians. We will accept any reasonable
offer if the buyer will take Congressman
Shoemaker.
We also have job lot of politicians
in Minnesota for which we will accept
any reasonable offer.-Grand Rapids

There was time when it could truly
be said that profit" was not without
honor in this glorious country of ours.
But that day seems to be past, at
least for the small business man. And
if our legislative bodies, state and ma
tional, continue to devise new and
heavier forms of taxation-the day will
soon come when big business, public
utilities and large corporations will be
in the same boat. When taxation
reaches the confiscation point there is
no money for either jobs or dividends
and profits. When you put the private
ly-owned firms out of business with
taxation, which the tax-exempt govern
ment-owned enterprise now escapes,
who will furnish the revenue for
government?-No Mortified News.
