Who wants to be a road hog? Nc
one win answer that in the affirmative
and yet how many times have you seen
drivers on the road feel that three
quarters of the road belongs to them
and that three-quarters starts from the
direct center.
This type of driver is not only
dangerous to other people, but is g
menace to all concerned including him
self, life and property. He obstruct.
the view of those behind him, slows
up the line of traffic, and doubles the
hazards on curves and hills.
This type of driver should be taker
off our highways. If sound reasoning
and safety education cannot do it, theI
police powers should remove him before
serious damage to life and property
is done.

Beluare of Mail Order
Grocery Deal NOlU On.

A warning to farmers to beware OF a
mail order grocery deal now being
worked in some sections of the state is
sounded by the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation. Last spring representa-
tive of a Chicago mail order grocery
house solicited business in the vicinity
of st. Charles and elsewhere. Down
payments were made by the farmers,
with the balance G. o. D. When the
groceries failed to arrive, complaints
were made to the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Protective Service, which fol-
lowed the case through to the Chicago
institution. There it was learned that
the company refuses to back up the
deal made by its representative, dis
claiming responsibility for his trans
actions. The case is now in process of
adjustment, with the Farm Bureau
representing the farmers who have been
vietimized.
In calling attention to this case, the
Minnesota Farm Bureau warns Of the
difficulty of holding dealers of this
kind in account for non-performance
of their agreement or for the quality of
merchandise supplied.
This deal shows the value of local
merchants, who are on the job at the
same old stand fifty-two weeks out of
the year, ready not only to adjust any
complaints that may arise, but also to
extend credit where needed.

WHAT OTHERS say

Queen City Sun, Virginia Politicians
looking for votes on the iron ranges
lately have stressed what they choose
to call "the awful conditions that must
confront the property owners and
working men" with the i'll concealed
inuendo that the mining companies are
responsible for the bleak outlook. Just
now when times are bad, jobs few and
a lot of suffering is being endured,
these statements are received by those
who are having a hard time to make
ends meet with avidity. 1t is uncalled
for to arouse sentiment against the
companies who have done and are
doing, with depleted funds, all they
possibly can to relieve those distressed
who come within their scope of &C
Invites. What more can be reasonably
expected from anyone, mining COM
panieS or any other company or COR
porstion2 Distress is not confined TO
the Mesaba range, the state, or the
nation. In fact. the whole world is
suffering from the collapse of the
capitalistic system. The mining COM
panieS cannot sell their ore when there
is no demand for it. They cannot hire
men when there is no work for them
to do. The mining companies pay
their taxes when they are satisfied that
foir nd 1ln1
just as the everyday citizen does, when
they believe that their assessments are
too high and unfair. That is only
reasonable. The tax suit which is now
before the courts for decision is an
effort to open up the question of fair
or unfair taxation. The mines cannot
be blamed for this If they lose they
no doubt will pay up and if they win
it is because they were right in dis
putting the assessments. The courts
can be depended upon to render just
decision. Nothing would please the
mining companies more than to be
operating at full blast as of old and
when the depression lifts, which we al
hope will not be too long delayed, they
will be shipping ore, employing men
and bringing prosperity back to the
iron ranges. In the meantime dis
count the demagogic rantings of the
mealy-mouthed politician in search of
votes.
1t should be constantly kept in mind
that fair treatment is essential to
mining recovery. Reasonable regula-
tory laws and reasonable taxes can be
great aids to bringing it back. OPP
preSsive laws and onerouS taxation can
keep it in the doldrumS.

Regular Bed Time
Urged for Children.

The tired child is to be found more
oftener than the under-fed child in
most of our American schools, says a
bulletin issued today by the Public
Health Education Committee of the
Minnesota State Medical Association.
More frequently than not, the tired
Sznild comes from homes where money
is plentiful. There is no lack of the
ordinary comforts of life, but the child
is allowed to stay up night after night
until his elders go to bed and the result
is that he suffers as much from mall
nutrition as if he were deprived of
proper food.
Regular sleep and rest occupies the
same Importance as well balanced
diet in the maintenance of good nu-
triton and vitality of children.
One of the most important safe
guards of the health of the school child
is the establishment of regular bed
time hour especially ON school nights.
Neither shows nor lessons nor com
pany" should be allowed to interfere
in the opinion of physicians.
Even high school students need at
least nine or ten hours of sleep, &C
cording to the bulletin. Younger
children need more and they should
begin at seven or eight or nine ac-
cording to the age of the child because
early evening hours are more valuable
than morning hours for good, sound
sleep. Also the child should be able
to get up early enough in the morning
to get a good breakfast before he starts
off for school.

Fairmont Sentinel-The SillieSt, most
visiouSly false thing we have seen in
supposedly reputable print in long
time is the declaration in Governor
OlSon's official paper, the Farmer
Labor Leader, that business and pro-
fessional men, grouped in such SER
vice organizations as Rotary and XII
wants, are trying to have free public
high schools abolished. The damned
rag claims that employers and business
generally want to keep the children of
farmers and working people ignorant
so they can enslave and exploit them.
A political party resorting to such vii
lainy to create support for its pro
gram" is hell-born and devil-directed
One would think that such tactics
would defeat themselves, but the clever
fiends using them know well the sad
fact that even here in enlightened
Minnesota great numbers will believe
and thus can be built up the destructive
class struggle that means ruin for the
masses but fat jobs and power for the
consciousness wretches who are base
enough to employ such political
methods. Get the last issue of the
paper mentioned, read the first column
first page, and if it doesn't make your
blood boil you aren't the sort of
American you should be.

CrookSton, but now of Minneapolis, at
torney for the much-abused Ed. Backus.
Hougan four years ago was the Re-
publican candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor who defeated himself by strong
endorsement of Senator Tom Schall,
who was repudiated by so many Re-
publicanS in his contest with Einar
Hoidale, says the st. Cloud Times
Journal. Two years ago Hougan was a
supporter of Earle Brown. This year
he comes out for Olson, and is chair
man of an alleged all-party committee
Speaking of Backus, the inside story
would be interesting. He was the
target for Tom SchaH in at least two
campaigns, and it has been stated and
never disproven that Backus con-
tributed from ten to fifteen thousand
dollars to Toms campaign. Now Floyd
Olson, who also has abused Backus as
a horrible example," selects his at
torney for the head of a campaign
committee. The public would like to
know whether Backus is also con-
tributing to the Olson campaign funo
this trip. Hougan seems to have beer
something of a hoodoo in politics
Probably he wants to pick winner this
trip, and it would be some joke on him
if his luck still sticks.
