Monticello Times
Never in the history Of the Red
River Valley has such water
shortage faced residents. Rivers
and lakes are at the lowest levels
known by old residents. Wells on
farms and in cities are going dry.
Towns and villages are limiting wa
ter supplies to necessary uses only
and unless heavy rains come during
the fall months this section of the
state will go into the winter facing
an extremely critical water situa-
ton, which will need careful atten-
ton from officials, health officers
and citizens generally.-Red Lake
Falls Gazette.
The League of Nations came into
being after the World war and
there was rejoicing throughout the
universe for it was believed this
tribunal would be in position to ne
gotiate with all countries and thus
bring perpetual peace. Today the
League is more or less a dream,
for the world Is in fighting mood
again. That is the way life goes.
When the going is tough, misery
likes company but when the wounds
heal, it forgets all about the past
vicissitudes.-Evele Clarion
Anybody's Fight
Although Roosevelt gained 6 OF
one percent since the July figures
in the straw vote of the American
Institute Of Public Opinion poll for
a total popular vote of 52.4 per
cent of the total major party vote
it is still "anybody's" fight as Lam
don is still leading in electoral
votes with a total Of ZIG against
Roosevelt's 266.
And to show that there is still q
world Of work to be done in the
Republican ranks it might be stated
that a very slight switch in any one
of the four big electoral vote states
Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan
or Illinois, would throw such state
into the Democratic column.
Another thing is evident from
this poll-Lemke votes are being
drawn from Roosevelt at the rate
of 70 per cent, the poll showing that
from each average 100 voters, &c
voted for Roosevelt in 1882, 9 voted
for Hoover, 4 for Thomas, IA had
not voted in 1892 and three will cast
their first ballot this fall.
Regardless of whether or not one
has any faith in straw voting in re-
lation to the vote Of the general
election, the results of the Ameri-
can institute poll point directly to
the present political field of work
The fourteen out of every hun
dred who could but did not vote in
1882 are now interested enough in
the present campaign to vote a
straw ballot These men and women
must have been strictly ION the
fence" four years ago with a lean
ing for neither Roosevelt or Hoover
Everyone of these are probably now
open to conviction as are the three
out of every hundred new voters

Might Better Fill Up bitches
From Our Exchanges

Last week the county board al
lowed number of claims for re-
pairing bitches in Sherburne coun-
ty. 1t might have been better if the
board had paid for having the
bitches partially filled up at places
to dam the rain of last spring and
conserve the water. In fact it would
probably have been better if the
bitches in Sherburne county had
never been dug.
1t begins to look as though de-
nuding this part of the country of
it's forests and draining off the
marshes, which in the early days
covered wide areas, is turning this

On an Isle in Florida Straits
Stands a village once we'll known
For its safe and pleasant harbor
Tho its fame has long since flown.
Once its streets were filled with
seamen;
Life and hustle everywhere.
Times were good and money
plenty,
And each home could boast its
share.
We have seen the artists likeness
OF it as it used to be,
With its harbor filled with shipping
Vessels waiting at the quay.
Gone the wharves, the buildings,
vessels,
Far beyond our sight or ken,
Gone the fathers and the mothers
Who knew the place as it was then.
Tho the tide has ebbed and left it,
Yet within it. sturdy souls
Live and wage life's daily war

Fen as they did of old.
Want stalks not within its borders.
Nor do riches come their way.
None holds himself above his
neighbor-
Reckons all one common clay.
Though but few her peoples
chances
Of becoming rich or great,
When this life on earth is ended,
And we reach the pearly gate
And the Judge shall stand before
them,
And survey the gathered host,
In the contest of the ages,
Who can know which counts the

So WE'LL strive to do each duty
And we'll thank God all the while,
For the days when nothing hap
