them for the support of missionary
work instead.

NEIGHBORS' HEARTS
IN RIG H T PLACE

Neighbors of Mrs. William
Thornton of near Blue Earth, have
shown that they have a humane
and cooperative spirit by present
ing her with a herd of five cows
and a purse of money, after news
had been received that she had
lost IL head of her cattle by corn
stalk poisoning.
Mrs. Thornton's cattle died sud-
denly on a Friday from the poison
ing and the next day delegation
of neighbors presented her with
a new herd and a purse of money
to go along with it. The money
was solicited from a number of
nearby neighbors with every ne do
mating to partly recompense her
for the loss which she felt so
keenly.

CAMPAIGN POT
BEING STIRRED
Republicans Realize Henne-
pin County Plays Large
Part in Election.
Past Record of ConServa-
tiveS is not Conducive to
Labor Support.
BY HENRY G.. TEIGAN

Republican bosses of the state are
strenuously trying to shape up things
for the next campaign. Meetings of
young Republicans and old Republic
cans are being held to devise some
means for retiring the hated Farmer
Laborites who now hold a majority
of the state offices.
Charley Cheney. able political prop
agandist of the Minneapolis Journal.
calls the attention of his brethren
to some of the difficulties in the way.
One of the biggest obstacles to over
come, he says, is the attitude of Hen
nepin county
Hennepin Turned Tide.
I'm the early days of Farmer-Labor
campaigns. Hennepin county more
than once supplied the majorities
needed to carry Republican candi-
dates through" says Cheney. Henne-
pin saved Jake Preus from defeat at
the hands of Magnus Johnson in 1922
and elected Schall over Magnus in
1924. He aims to show that as Hen
nepin goes so goes the state.
Cheney is quite right as to the i'm
portance of Hennepin county at cleo
ton time. More than one-fifth of the
states vote is to be found in Min
neapolis and the rural constituencies
outside of the city. To capture Hen
nepin by fair margin means a great
deal in a statewide election contest.
How Come.
But the most interesting thing
about the loss of Hennepin to the
Republicans is why has, it hap
pened?" How come that the county
goes Farmer-Labor today and not Re-
publican?
That is the thing for the chieftans
: of the G. o. P to consider And when
they consider that they may find
themselves SOLDERING off fast.
The loss of Hennepin as we'll as
Ramsey and st. Louis counties by the
Republicans in recent elections mere
ly indicates that the Grand Old
Party is completely out of step with
the people. 1t shows also that the
program OI Tie dTLucT- LdDOT party
meets the demands of the workers in
these large industrial areas, just as
the farmers have already learned
that it meets the demands of the
rural citizens. Moreover, the bally-
! hoo of the Rocknes, Nelson's, MacKen-
zies. Dunns, and their ilk isn't suf-
| fciently enticing to bring them back
into the Republican fold.
Omens Not Favorable.
While not wishing to discourage
+ our friends Enemy, we believe
that the omens are not favorable.
The lack of program in behalf of the
masses; the villainous Carley investi-
CATION; the sinking sales-tax and
other acts of betrayal of the public
interest will operate to make sled
ding tough for the Republicans in
their attempt to recapture Hennepin
county and the state of Minnesota at
the next election.
Kindly convey this information to
the boys. Charley, at your earliest
opportunity and suggest that they
mend their ways. That might help.

PECAN PRALINES

Pralines are an integral part
of Creole cookery. For more
than hundred years, these
sugared candies have been the
favored CONNECTION Of the
Creoles. Some are the white
sugary CONNECTION, others col
ored pink with cochineal and
topped with coconut. But the
favorite is the pecan praline.
Here is the recipe:
Id. brown sugar
y lb. pecanS, shelled and cut
into pieces
l tablespoon butter
tablesp oons water or
enough to melt the sugar
Set aside of the pecans the
halves of which have been kept
intact. Break the rest into ave-
rage sized pieces. Put the water
and sugar into a pan and cook
carefully, stirring constantly, if
you do not use a double boiler.
AS soon as it commences to
form syrup, add the cut-up
pralines and keep on stirring.
Boil until it is finished. To
test it, take a little from the
pan and if it makes a thread
between the fingers as it is
pulled it is ready to take off
the fire.

Fly AWGy

Over and over again, girls
ask me, How can I tell
whether I'm really in love?"
Well, here is one way of know
ing:
Suppose the young man who
wants to marry you is about
to be sent By his firm to the
iungles of Brazil, IN the inter-
ests of the rubber trade, or to
South Africa, or New Guinea,
and he would expect you to sail
with him the week after the
wedding, to be gone for several
years.
Do you shrink from the idea?
Does marrying George seem
pleasant enough so long as it
means living near your family
and friends, going to the same
parties, having the same kind
of house, but do you begin to
SILVER and grow a little faint
when you think of following
George to strange places-to
the very ends of the earth?
Suppose Anne Lindbergh,
young and courageous, had
been the kind of girl who
distrusted everything new and
everything foreign; who dreaded
danger and pioneering, and
who felt that she could only be
happy in a safe life in some
little community she had al
ways known.
