The old Prophets had their struggles
and their lives were not always
good,
They did not always walk the chalk
line and live like we thought
they should.
But according to the Bible when their
lives were rounded out.
They had made a good endeavor
without flare or without shout.
For the Lord saw fit to save them.
or at least that's what We are
told,
Bidding us to do likewise and be
%, received in that heavenly fold,
We are quick to see the blemish in
our brothers style,
We can point out all his errors and
may sneer at him awhile.
All our prejudices may fatten and
our hates more violent grow.
AS we talk about the failures of the
man we do not know.
But when drawn little closer and
our hands and shoulders touch.
We find the things we hated really
didn't amount to much,
When you really know a fellow and
understand his ways.
His faults won't amount to much for
you will find a lot of praise,
So that is what we're here for just !
to grip our neighbOr's hand.

struggles we will try to under |

Moving The Pear Surplus

number of states, particularly along
the Pacific Coast where production
Is largest, is being rapidly reduced
by cooperation between producers
and organized large-scale retail
stores. Some $4,000 chain food
stores in the As states have carried
on drives ON behalf of moving the
pear surplus.
Need for the drive is vividly found
in the statistics. The Bureau of For

ports that on January first of this
year the carry-over OF canned pears
in the United States was 40 per cent
larger than ON the same date in
1886. The Gamers League of Cali
fornia reported that states carry,
over, as being up SO per cent. Conse-
quence was steadily sagging prices.
Growers faced disastrous loss un-
less the surplus could be moved be-
fore the new crop natures in July
and August.
Ten thousand growers in Califor-
mia, Oregon and Washington. acting
through their cooperative organiza-
tions, formed a committee and ask
ed the National Association of Food
Chains for assistance. The chains
Immediately responded. planned a
complete promotion, display and sd- |
vertising campaign, and thus the
present successful drive was horn.
Canned pears were bought by the
carload and all participating stores
opened their drives on the same i
date. Preliminary figures show a
increase in buying |
throughout the country. /
Chains have worked with produc-
ers Of other farm crops to move sur |
pluses in this manner many times
before. and these campaigns are now
an established phase of chain oper-

Child Falls Asleep at
Theatre, Is Locked In.

Luverne-Falling asleep at a show
and waking hours later to find him.
self locked in pitch-black theatre was
the unenviable experience last week of
Melvin Earl, 12-year-old Luverne boy
Having attended the first show one
evening, Melvin decided to stay through
the second movie also, but fell asleep
because, as he explained, 81 had al
ready see it once, so it wasn't so ex-
citing the second time" At 11:3O the
manager locked the theatre after first
making "sure" that everyone was out.
He had not seen the boy, who had
slipped down in his seat. Melvin was
awakened at 2:15 A M. by the rumb-
ling of truck in the alley. He CROPPED
his way to the front door only to find
it locked and not chance of getting
out without help. Frantically he shook
the doors until the night Waterman
heard him, opened the door, and Mel
vim Scurried home to bed. His parents,
thinking that their son was in his
room hours sooner, did not know the
boys experience until a day or two
later, for Melvin felt too sheepish to
tell about it. When asked if he was
scared, the 12-year-old tush-tushed the
idea. "Scared?" he said, 81 wasn't
scared! just shook the doors and
waited for someone to let me out"

ELYITE MEMBER
ALL-STAR team
Rudolph Banovetz Plays In
Football Classic at Duluth
Tuesday Evening.

The selection from this city on the
All-Star group of footballers to go up
against the buzz saw in the shape of
the Chicago Bears at Duluth on Tues
day evening, under floodlightS at the
public schools stadium, was Rudolph
Banovetz of this city, former star on
the Marquette University team.
The gridiron classic, sponsored by the
Duluth Elks Club, produced a most en-
joyable evening of entertainment for
5000 spectators. While the Bears over
Swallowed the All-Stars, much excellent
playing was done on both sides. Maurice
German, former Duluth State Teachers
College Star, thrilled the large audience
The game as whole displayed the
strength of the Bears who have many
ace performers, including the famous
International Falls, Bronko Nagurski,
Sam Francis of the University of Neb-
raska, and the noted Jack Manders,
whose educated toe resulted in four
extra points on place kicks after touch
downs.
The stars, who had only ten days of
practice were weak against the profess
sional Bears who cracked through the
collegiate eleven for three touchdownS
and 81 points in the first period and IA
points in the second quarter to take a
35 to 0 lead at the half.
Gorham of the Stars turned in two of
his teams touchdowns himself and was
the direct result of the other as he
tossed pass to Alphonse in the third
and final quarter.
The result of the game showed the
Bears with 40 and the Stars with Is.
Several from this city attended the
game and were thrilled with the playing
of both teams.

The awkward stage in boys life is
when he is too old to cry and too young
to swear.
A st. Paul girl has been arrested

needs to cure her of that habit is a
dose of good old razor strop.
What is a Hangover" is the head
ing of a magazine article. In a few
words, hangover is when your head feels
as though somebody had used it for a
football and your feet feel as though
they are on ice skates.
The pooh-poohers never made a town
go ahead. 1t is the lads who wade in
who make things go.
When you step on the gas and set
those auto wheels whirling, remember
that you are propelling two tons
through space. Be careful.
Politics isn't politics any more, but a
circus. The latest stunt is by Governor
Graves of Alabama, who appointed his
wife to vacancy in the U. S. Senate.
The contortioniSts at the county fairs
at least know how to make ends meet.
