dustry to a plane where 1t will payi
True, many farmers do make their
land pay well, but that Is far from
being the prevailing situation.
When it is actually accomplished,
there will be back to the land"
movement that will be inspiring,
for after all there are many attrac-
tive features about q farm that
cannot be obtained elsewhere.
In the first place it Is an individ-
ual's own little kingdom where he
Is his own boss, even though he
works hard; he can rear his fam
lily and develop plans as his heart
desires. The atmosphere and sur
roundings about the "old farm
home" cannot be duplicated; they
are healthy and wholesome. There
is no more coy place in the world
than a farm home and farmyard,
If you please, at this time Of the
year. Easements are loaded with
canned goods; grain is in the gran
airy and corn is being shocked.
NO one can get the picture
straight unless he has lived on or
had intimate knowledge of the stu
alton sometime during his life.
Particularly does an individual re-
call with pleasure his youthful
days on a farm. The ROSTERS crow
was music, even though it often
came early in the morning. There
was fish in the meadow creek, and
there were apples and plums in the
fall.
This may all be sentimental, but
has something to do with the inn
portant subject of making condi-
tions better so farming as whole
will become a more inviting voca-
tion.-Eveleth Clarion.
Leave it to Sinclair Lewis to
speak right out in church. He re-
Gently told a University of Oklaho-
ma audiences: there is no longer
any way for the Duke of Windsor
to make himself useful to the
world. He is just member Of a
fine Anglo German family who has
learned to speak English pretty
well" Clarion.
A Special Session Looms
Possibility Of special session Of
the Minnesota legislature again
looms. Fearful that such a session
for the sole purpose Of enacting
legislation to permit Minnesota to
come within the Federal Housing
laws would not be wise from pol
itical standpoint, the Governor now
gives as the reason for special
session inadequate relief funds and
probability that old age assistance
funds might become exhausted.
Well, the taxpayer of the state is
just about becoming exhausted too.
Eleven million dollars were appro-
priated at the last session for re-
lief needs. In view of the fact that
North and South Dakota made no
relief appropriations, that Iowa
appropriated but two million and
that Wisconsin makes no such ap-
preparation, it would seem that a
special session to vote further funds
in Minnesota is not only unneces-
sary, but unfair, to the taxpayers,
who is now overburdened.-Murray
County Herald.
Who should decide whether or
not this country should declare
war? A little handful Of 267 men in
Washington who will keep well out
of it themselves, or the men and
women of the country who will
have to reap the harvest Of suffer-
ing and death, do the fighting and
pay the taxes?-Brainerd Tribune.
The Inheritance
Robbing baby's bank Is a good
subject for cartoon or a wise
crack. But how many mothers or
fathers maliciously, and without
any intention Of paying 1t back.
take money away from their chill
dren?
On the contrary, every father
tries to accumulate as much as he
can so that when he passes on his
way he may leave his children bet
ter off than he was in childhood.
That is why it is astounding that
we should be robbing not only
baby's bank now but his bank &C
count later on.
Look. In 1919, because Of the
World War, the debt Of the federal
government had risen to twenty
five billion dollars. Thirteen years
later, after a period of unprecedent-
ed prosperity, the debt had been
reduced by only nine billion dollars.
Today, we have thirty-seven
billion dollar debt. If we could have
the same prosperity from now on
that we had through the 20's, 1t
would take more than 81 years to
pay that debt.
That's robbing our children and
our children's children with q VEN
geance.-Zumbrota News.
