SUES COUNTY FOR
500 BACK WAGES

Waseca-Proceedings have been
commenced against Waseca coun-
ty and the board of county COM
missioners by o. j. Ostensoe, now
of Spring Valley and former coun-
ty attorney of Waseca county, to
collect $500 in back salary. Mon
day, August 10, has been set as
the date of the hearing.
Mr.. Ostensoe served as county
attorney of Waseca county from
1881 to 1884. January z, 1881 the
county commissioners set his sal
ary at 81, 800 year. He protested
the reduction from the salary paid
to his predecessor and the matter
was taken to district court where
his salary was set at 81 500.
In 1892 the commissioners set
his salary at 81 400 a year and for
the years of 1888 and 1884 they
set it at 81 200 a year.
Mr.. Ostensoe claims that the

MOUSE RIDING ON CAR
FRAME CAUSES WONDER

Minnesota Lake-The citizens of
Minnesota Lake looked askance at
Ray Fabel's automobile recently,
and that gentleman was not at all
popular with the female sex. The
reason: Fabel had a passenger-a
mouse! The mouse chose as its
riding place the frame underneath
the car. When Fabel stopped, it
would come out and play about the
wheels and on the ground nearby.
But the second the motor started,
the mouse would scamper back In
to its riding place.

They knew that it was their business to make
living for themselves, and if they did not do
it, they must do without. So they earned the
living, sometimes with Indians shooting arrows
at them from behind trees not yet cut down.
There was no agricultural college to show them

had to find some way to do it.

so in the country. If it can't get what it thinks
it ought to be paid let it work. willingly, for

Benjamin Franklin had to give up eating meat

heard of him.

could rise no higher than the rank of lieutenant,
he probably felt youth does now. A little

When opportunity came and he was sent to
Italy, he was ready and made opportunity

Youth finds reason to complain always. At

Journeys
SAN SEBASTIAN

One European resort that seems
to maintain its popularity is San
Sebastian, usually thronged with
tourists all year round.
Situated between the mountains
and the sea, built on a promon-
tory overlooking a lovely bay, it
is just about the incest resort
along the Basque Coast. The city
has grown and now extends be-
yond the River Urumea, the two
parts being connected by several
bridges. The whole depth of the
bay is occupied by the she'll
shaped Concha Beach, famous
for it's golden sands. In fact, the
whole city seems to be leaning
forward to gaze at the beach with
it's promenade fronted by de luxe
hotels and shops.
On the Concha promenade is
the Miramar palace, formerly the
summer residence of Spanish
royalty. The Republica prone,
made also is lined with smart
shops, villas and hotels. This
avenue runs along the coast, then
skirts Monte Urgull. It is a
beautiful walk or drive.
Being comparatively modern,
San Sebastian is one of the few
Spanish towns that possess a
European aspect rather than the
Moorish or Castilian look that is
characteristic of most Spanish
cities.
There are no old temples, pal
aces, churches, converts and ruins.
Instead, magnificent buildings,
great cafes, office buildings, smart
shops and theaters line the tree
shaded, handsome avenues. The
really splendid La Libertad Ave
nue., the streets of Urbieta, Carl
bay, Hermann and many others
are as fine as any that we have
ever seen.
Adjoining the modern part of
the city is the lovely old fishing
or Pescadores quarter which leads
to the delightful suburbs full of
large and little villas, each set in
enhancing gardens. Beyond are
picturesque Basque villages.
These villages, hamlets and
country houses of authentic
MaSque type are full of fire and
color, as are the people with their
symbolic dances and weird music.
The fetes and festivals are delight
full and different.

Round
BY HELEN ROWLAND

A man seems to feel about a
drink as a woman does about her
kisses; when he has given you
one, he is always hurt if you don't
want another.
Mans favorite animal is the
dog: and the things which he
loves best in a woman are the

faithfulness-everything, in fact.
except the habit of running after
him.
Men have invented deadly
gases which will annihilate a
whole army-but no man has ever
yet invented anything which will
kill the aroma of a spring onion.
The sad thing is that when a
girl finds her ideal husband he so
often turns out to be some other
woman'S husband. The most de-
Sirable ones are never left hang
ing around loose, for long.
A woman and a politician are
alike in one thing. The SureSt

ignore them.

he is to go mid-Victorian and in

puncture-proof marriage when he
meets the girl he wants.
Even in this day, men still
have heart-flutters at the sight of
q woman's garter; but, somehow,
there never was anything demor-
alizing to women about a glimpse
of mans garter.
Oh, yes, there is a difference
between courtship and marriage.
It is much easier to idealize a
man who is buying you lobster

Around the Capitol floats the
story of a news correspondent
from Atlanta, Ca, who is said to
have caused members of the Geor-
gia House delegation considerable
worry.
AS the tattlers would have it,
The newSman, merely in jest, told
six New Deal advocates among the
Georgia delegation that Gov. Eu-
gene Talmadge of that State was
after their scalp.
He told the legislators that un-
der an old Georgia law the gov
ernor had the right to rescind the
commissions of members of the
House from that State. He advised
that Governor Talmadge was 60
ing to rescind their commissions
because of their New Deal support.
Further, he told them they
would be unable to learn the truth
of the situation from Washington.
1t Is said that the six members
from Georgia called a hurried
luncheon meeting to discuss the
problem and map a program.
After the luncheon, one of the
delegation Immediately took off

was in store for him and his col

in his imagination. They can all be broken, and
the worst of them all Mr. Reid, the artist has
not shown in this picture
That "worst" is SELF INDULGENCE. The
motto of many youthful ones today is, "Wen,
am not going to kill myself. AS I journey
through life l must live by the way" That
has not been the motto of successful men.
Success is not worth while for those whose
main idea is "a five-day week, a six-hour day,
fairly long vacation in Summer"
Government and improved production may
manage that some time, it MAY come, and prob
ably will, when men are ready and fit for it.
But success, now, is for those whom ambition
drives in every waking hour, those that want a
chance to work, MORE not less.
Some of youths enemies are shown in this
picture; the greatest of them, not shown, is the
modern teaching that some mysterious some
body" government or something else, OWES
EVERYBODY A LIVING.
The young man of today owes everything he
enjoys, everything that gives him safety, oppor-
tunity, knowledge, comfort, convenience to HARD
WORK DONE BY OTHERS.
The world does not owe him anything he on
the contrary, OWES THE WORLD great deal.
