Meter bers of my house

me constantly that water is ex-
pensive down here in this seaside
cottage where I am spending

By and by, when I close the
cottage a man with a key will
come along, unlock meter and
take its reading.
Then just before I am leaving
he will hand me a slip of paper
which will inform me what I owe

These boys on the Maine coast
are careful, as they should be,
that no summer dweller gets away
without making matters square
with that meter.
One becomes acutely aware of
the necessity for economy as the
little counting device in the meter
clocks off the pints, quarts, gal
Ions and barrels that the families
around here use.
And as the little machines click
out their information I become
impressed with the fact that time
has a value of which I have been
thinking too lightly.
Why would it not be a good plan
to meter ones time in the same

Red Baiters' Field Day
A GENTLEMAN in Iowa, who pre-
L \ sumably inquired into the mat
ter, asserts that in this country are
upwards of 100000 aliens who en-
tered illegally and that the vast
majority of these over 80 per
cent, are on relief. While we're
fighting corn borers and tobacco
worms and boil weevils with gov
eminent funds, wouldn't it be a
grand idea to turn a lot of Omen
loose to round up these smuggled-
in human parasites and ship them
back where they came from?
Locally speaking, I'm told that
the average foreign-born agitator,
ostensibly seeking to organize the
casual workers of this state, is
really a red agent spreading COM
munistic doctrines under cover OF
his seeming activities in the indus
trial field. In other words, his real
aim is not to unionize labor but to
disunionize America.

most as tough shedding as
smooth-faced, bearded lady would

scum.
But now, the league can punish
at least one small nation for per-
sistently breaking the otherwise
solid front presented by nearly all
the important European powers.
Surely, ere long, it will hang some
sort of penalty on little, simple
minded Finland for regularly pay
ing installments on her debt to us.
This disruptive thing cannot pos
sibly be permitted to go on forever
when the sacred principles of dis
honor, ingratitude and reputation
are all at stake!

Crow Lake township in Stearns
county, living on the place now
known as the Peter Pletschett
farm.
In 1890 he was united in marriage
to Thea. Austvolden. They started
life together on a farm east of
Brooten, and except for a short
residence in the village of Broot-

Surviving are his wife and four

Stearns County H;stori-
cal Society Formed
Continued from Page one)

The society has only one set
meeting each year, the annual
meeting in October. Special ses-
sions will be arranged wherever
convenient from time to time by
the board of directors and will be
held in various parts of the coun-
ty.
The objective of the contact COM
mittee is to secure federal funds
with which to establish one or two
historical museums, if possible one
in each end of the county. Because
of the large number of students in
st. Cloud the initial step would be
to secure the first museum in this
city. When a second one is estab-
lished it will probably be located in
Sank Centre.
The material which will be col
lected by WPA workers will either
be split between the two museums
or duplicate material obtained
which will be placed in both plac-
es. No location has yet been deter
mined for st. Cloud but it will pro-
badly be in the library when the
addition and improvements have
been completed.
This is the first time that a his
torical society has been organized
in Stearns County, officers said
this morning, and wealth Of ma
terial, stored in all parts of the
county, can be obtained to estab-
lish comprehensive historical exhib-
it's for one or more museums. Near
ly half of the counties in the state
already have organizations of this
nature at present.
