shows his faith, his religion of
love. It Is entitled From Shore to
Shore" and we are happy to give
1t space, for the fine sermon 1t is:
The troubled waters meath our feet,
Tempestuous skies above
Yet over all and round about
A Universe of Love
The keel leaps swift to smite the
wave,
The pillows rage and foam;
Their mimic warfare only serve
To bear us surely home
Frail atoms we on this wild waste
The bird that skins the wave
Distainfully looks down upon
The oceans yawning grave.
1t did so when it's kind began;
But man on trembling knee,
Awe-stricken, helpless, stood
before
The mystery of the sea.
But we have come to know our
friends
Though stern of form and mein /;
And leaning on their serving
hands,
To trust the God unseen.
And slow evolving through the
aeOnS
The plans for us unfold;
Infinite deeps of being spread
Where narrow seas have
rolled.

Better Off Dead"

The nation is beginning to realize the horror OF
automobile deaths that reached total of $4,000 last
year. Not so we'll realized, but perhaps even more
terrible, the situation of those who were involved
in automobile crashes, not killed-but would be
better off if they had been, says the Industrial Re-
view.
Their CHASTITY plight has been described in a new
booklet by ]. c. Furnas, author of the famed
And Sudden Death entitled Better Off Dead
Here is an excerpt:

slight curve. But centrifugal pull had dragged them

Two passengers, bleeding unconscious, were loaded

angle and the bare end protruded from rent in the

Thanks to the doctors that man is still alive He

Too horrible, too nauSeatng for print? Perhaps
it is-but it's the truth. And it doesn't describe an
isolated example. Thousands of people have emerged
from automobile accidents to become helpless pain
ridden cripples all their lives They live on to remind
of the awful price pay for speed for reckless

les will not entirely in vain if they teach the les

Utopia, which it is. It hasn't been
achieved through magic. Here, ac-

bonds and few county bonds. 2.
Reject new forms of taxation. 3.
Watch public spending and the
spenders. 4. Remember that even
in these changing times the func-
tions of local government are the
same as they were Is years ago

one Of the most illustrious of them
all and in his own right-who has

CERTIFICATE OF RESOLUTION
KEN EWlNG CORPORATE
EYUSTENCE

We, w. H. Rattle, president and
J. A. Schoenhoff. secretary of the
Agricultural Society of Stearns
County, do hereby certify:
That special meeting of the
stockholders of said corporation
was neld at Sank Centre, Stearns
County. Minnesota, on the 29th day
of November. 1885, pursuant to due
and legal notice to the stock
holders, which special meeting was
called for the expressly stated pur-
pose of adopting the resolution
hereinafter set forth. At said meet
ing quorum of the stockholders
was present in person, and so reg
istered, and at such meeting the
adoption of the following resolu-
tion was moved, seconded, and un-
animously carried by a vote of the
stockholders, so present, in favor
of the passage of such resolutions:
Resolution
WHEREAS, the Agricultural So
ciety of Stearns County was or
SaniZed as a corporation under and
by virtue of Title 3. Chapter "a Of
the General Statutes of Minnesota
for the year 1873. That it's articles
of Incorporation specified the time
of the commencement of the cor
poration as the 1st day of October,
1902, which said articles were
adopted on the 18th day of Septem-

(The following article writ
ten by Alvah Eastman in the
st. Cloud Times needs no COM
ment as we too believe in
flowers for the living. 1t is we'll
merited by our townsman, DR..
j. A. Dubois, hence we take
pleasure in reproducing it in
it's entirety.)
Men and women toll with unse(
fishness, and high purpose, and in
too many cases, we take that as a
matter of course, and wait until the
coffin lid closes on them to tell OF
their value to the world. Then we
contribute flowers and say many
fine things about the departed, that
are spoken to unhearing ears.
How much better it would be to
show our appreciation to the wor-
thy living while they are carrying
what may be heavy burden.
The joy of the heart adds cour-
age to the soul.
In every community there are
admirable men and women, striving
unselfishly to add their bit to the
benefit of their neighbors, kindly
people, who would be cheered by
encouraging words.
There are those whom we praise,
mostly candidates for public pos
ition, and that is offset by censure,
wise or unwise, so the praise and
condemnation is about equal.
It is the fighters with wise phil
osophy, who combat evil, in one
form or another, who are the real
benefactors. We have in mind such
a man, Doctor Julian A. Dubois, of
Sank Centre, now with keen mind
and physical vigor at 80 years. He
has been in active practice of heal
ing more years than any man liv-
ing in the county today. No profess
sion, with the possible exception of
| a priest or minister, comes in as
close contact with people as does
the family physician. His value is
not only in his skill in medicine
and surgery, but in the character
of the man who understands and
who is the trusted friend.
DR.. Dubois, has these qualities.
He is especially we'll informed in
public affairs and has the charm
of wit and humor. He is lover of
folks, not those of power and
wealth, although he associates COM
| fortably with them, but of the aver
age people who are the real back
bone of the nation, those who love
their kin and the country, hard
working, frugal and with high
ideals.
This pioneer physician of Sank
Centre, is also a poet and philoso-
pher, gifted in expression, and who
has the true courage. When called
in sickness, he said when faced
with the responsibility, then he be-
came a fighter to save life, to
rout the malady and to bring years
of happiness and usefulness to
those under his care. When death
was inevitable his patients knew
that he had done all that was hui
manly possible, and they went to
the eternal sleep with full faith in
his skill and striving.
That certainly is pleasant to re-
member, and his long and often
hard way has been blessed by the
appreciation of those he served.
We are reminded by his quality
as a man Of vision, in coming

short of perfection, politics will be
pure and undefiled.
The governor also gave out an
interview in New York in which he
assured the intelligentsia of Com
munism in the aristocratic Aston
hostelry that the way to end the
capitalistic system is to spend bu-
siness and industry out of the pic
ture. This frank admission, trick
ling back to the ears Of the folks
back home, throws considerable
light on what has been going on in
Minnesota during the last five
years, and accounts for some of the
governors all-devouring recon-
mendations to the Legislature as to
taxation.-Clarissa Independent.
Sanity in Nebraska
1t is refreshing to report, states
an exchange, that at least one state
has managed to avoid the fallacy
that the way to create prosperity is
to spend billions on credit-credit
which must be based on all the saw
ings and wealth, all the prosperity,
all the industries, all the earnings
and other resources of the COM
monwealth.
The state is Nebraska, which is
described by w. E. Christensen in
an article in the New York Tribune
entitled Sanity on the Prairies."
Nebraska has a new $10,0OO,0O0
capitol-without a penny Of debt
standing against it.
Nebraska has a splendid highway
system-without a single outstand-
ing bond.
Nebraska's state tax, which pro-
vides the funds for supporting the
state university, four normal
schools and all other state activ-
tiles, has averaged less than two
mills per year during the last 1C

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

Sportsmen at Sank Centre are in
censed over the jockeying that is
being used in opening and closing
Sank lake for white fishing. The
first order to come out officially
closed the lake and then some with
political influence had another or
der issued to open the lake. 1t is
this sort of monkeying that makes
a joke out of our conservation pro-
gram. No wonder the desired re-
suits are never attained.-Eveleth
Clarian.
Radical No.
The debut of Minnesota's COVER
nor in New York as Radical No. 1
of the U. S. attracted no little at
tention the country over, although
it will probably have its present re-
percussions in Minnesota-for the
present at least. The governor
spoke twice over nationwide hook
ups. His words sounded strange, no
doubt, in many ears, but in Mime
sofa they were oldstuff.
The text of his broadcasts
shows that the governor was ora
torical and eloquent, but outside of
fine words, winning phrases and
glowing periods, he ha nothing to
offer except that capitalism is bad
and must be succeeded by a politi.
cal set-up, which he fervently pro.
missed would bring on an economic
millennium but which otherwise he
referred to only in the vaguest and
briefest terms. His Address tt
Youth" was an oratorical flower
with promises of rich fruits, but a.
with his talk on the Needs of &
Third Party" he was vague as t.
how 1t is to be done except tina
where business sins and come!

Senator's Expenses

Considerable comment has been caused by the
publication in the New York Times of items in
the expense of the United States Senate in
GLIDING S4 lat for stationery $4,000 for restaurant
meals, $4,000 for barber bills and $3.50 for mineral
waters
Minor items include 500 aspirin tablets three
pounds of bcarbonate of soda five gallons of witch
hazel and small amounts of bromosetzer, soda mint
tablets and medcated alcohol
While the amount involved in all these senatorial
peruuisites is not sufficient to become matter OF
national concern it looks as if bills for purely per-
sonal expenses might we'll be paid by the Senators

Television for Defense.

NAz1 Germany is adopting tele-
vision as q measure Of flight
safety and national air protection"
This was made known in a recent
issue Of the oficial government gazette,
which announced that the govern
ment-owned broadcasting system has
transferred its television research and
development to the air ministry Of
Prussian Premier Goering. Though
the propaganda ministry under
Goebbels, which more or less controls
radio in the Reich, did not permit
the news to be published in the press,
1t was reported to Washington by the
American commercial sttache.
Exactly what military purposes
television in its present developmental
stage will serve, is conjectural, but
Andrew W. Cruise, chief Of the De-
partment = of Commerce Electrical
Equipment Division, who recently Wis
tied Germany among other countries
on O survey of television, asserts that
the development Of television in Ger
many will probably be greatly affected
by the transfer. Doubtless, he says,
the construction of IL television trans
mitters previously proposed will not be
rushed to completion. On the other
hand private television experimental
ton and the urge to equip thousands
of German homes with "televiewers"
may not be affected.
