Rake is Better
Weapon Than Gun.

Hallock-Kittson county's agent, Jim
Salisbury, has gained reputation as an
expert duck hunter in that he uses a
common garden rake as weapon. Three
Hallock men went to Lake of the Woods
to hunt ducks, another group went to
Detroit Lakes, but Mr.. Salisbury, who
remained at home, has a record which
beats that of the other hunters. While
he was working in his garden two ducks
alighted beside him, he reached for mis-
rake and bagged big mallard. The
three men who went to Lake Of the
Woods also came home with one duck,
but the Detroit Lakes men brought
none. After days work they wounded
one duck, but it rested on the water for
an hour and then flew away.

In the heat of national campaign
it is quite possible that the election for
judges may be overlooked. The judicial
branch of the government is a highly
important one. A capable, fearless, up
right and dependable judiciary is an
essential to the administration of or
derby government; in fact, as view it,
it is the last outpost of the same.
Many years ago the Legislature of this
state saw fit to make judicial Offices

make the judges political leanings UNI

wheat in Egyptian tombs which had

years of newspaper work, is
that this third party movement
has run its course and that the
electors will turn back to the
Republican or Democratic prin-
ciples to allay the political un-
rest into which we have been
precipitated in Minnesota.
A few Democrats jumped in
to the fire several weeks ago
when they traded their chances
of political preferrment for a
mess of pottage with the Far
mer-Laborites in the hopes of
making votes for Roosevelt and
Benson. This trade just had
the opposite effect on rock
ribbed Democrats who declare
they will not vote at all or cast
their ballots for Martin Nelson
for governor in order to silence
the third party clack and
clamor.

One of the Farmer-Labor
candidates in the Goth legisla-
tive district has been heart and
soul for the party for years,
even going so far as to accuse
everyone of the old parties as
being "old fogeys," under the
spell of the "steel trust" or
words to that effect.
We notice, however, that in
return for his labors, the Far
mer-Labor official paper, in
printing the list of the candi-
dates for office throughout the
state, singing out those to be
voted for by the party, give the
names of the opposition. The
red Communist phamplet cir
culated in the interest of that
party with Earl Browder at the
head and including the entire
state Farmer-Labor ticket, how
ever, includes the name of this
candidate in the 61st district.
Not all Farmer-Laborites are
Communists but all Commun-
lists are Farmer-Laborites.
Twas ever thus. Hard work
ers in the vineyard are re-
warded with loving cup while
those who oppose the powers
that be are brought into the
fold with political sinecure
carrying with it good fat job.

fald on Sunday, the state is be-

Mr.. Wefald came to this

from Norway. He has in turn
been in the lumber business,
editor of a newspaper and

and warehouse commission to
which position he was elected
in 1882 for six years. He re-
signed as executive secretary of

We could have bought clothing for father, mother sister and brother in every American family We could have equipped every American home with mechanical re- rigerator, radio, and brand-neW set of living room furniture
 And We would still have had enough money left over to give every family in the country weekly tckety to the movies for year.
 If you would understand how completely and eter- nally cockeyed this whole business of war really is just imagine what would happen if some American ad- mnisratlon should propose out of clear sky to spend at once the money necessary to do all those things
 Suppose, for instance, that President Wilson had proposed to do that in 1917 Suppose that the fateful April session of congress had been called not to declare Germany but to approve the purchase and free distribution of all the goods listed above.
 Would thre not have been hoot of derision from every city and town and country store in the land? We

would have assumed, unanimously. that the president had gone stark mad. The proposal would have gone down in our history the supreme example of govern ment folly.
 And yet-wouldn't it have been lot smarter to do that than what we actually did do?
 So the next time someone invites us to take hand in foreign war, it might pay us to say Thanks-but we will just take the money that cost and buy something useful with it t.'-Exchange.

BY the Associated Press.
The agricultural generalissimos Of
the New Deal today mulled over the
conviction advanced in a Brookings In
stitute report that the A. A. A. cotton
loan policy is serious mistake"
Henry / Richards, author of the re-
port, the sixth study of major crops
affected by the old crop-control pro-
gram, however, wrote that the cotton
control program on the whole would
probably be net gain for the farmers.
$41S,O00, 900 Paid BY U. S.
Reduction in cotton production dur
ing the three years Of crop control was
said to have increased growers income
by about $275 900, 900, while total of
approximately $4l8,000,0 900 was paid in
Federal benefits.
The price advances attributable to
cotton loans and crop restrictions, the
institution said, was expected to be
more than offset in the future by losses
from expansion of foreign production
and decreased foreign consumption of
American cotton.
Can't Measure Market Loss.
The report said the extent to which
foreign markets were lost under the
A. A. A. cotton program could not be
measured accurately, but as the price
of American cotton was forced up
ward foreign mills turned more and
more to foreign cotton.
If the foreign market is to be re-
gained, it asserted, prices of American
cotton must fall relatively low, as COM
pared with those for the foreign
staple.
The cotton loan policy was blamed
for larger reductions in production
than would have been made other
wise.
