The plaques bear the words: Con-
Servation of Natural Resources is Ma

resolution passed at the national con-
vention of the Auxiliary in Cleveland
last September, which reads:
Always pledged to maintain the
strength and promote the general well
fare OF our republic and recognizing
that the material power and social
well-ebing of the American people were
from the beginning based on unsur-
passed natural resources, the depletion
of which has confronted our country

Switchboard Operator
AUerts Serious Fire.

Hastings and prompt ac-

saved drug store here from a very
destructive fire. Miss Madeline Scha-
bert's suspicious were aroused at one
thirty o'clock one morning when the
switchboard number light" indicating
Eddy's Drug Store began to flicker.
Thinking that providers might have
broken into the place, Miss Schubert,
the operator, summoned the night
police. When the officers arrived, they
found a blaze burning briskly in the
rear Of the establishment. The fire
department was called and through its
work the flames were soon under con-
troll. The rear of the store and its
contents were considerably damaged by
fire, water and smoke The "twinkling'
of the number light on the switchboard,
it was learned later, was caused by a
ort-circuiting of telephone wire
which was exposed to the flames.

Tuning In on The Minnesota
Legislature
..:..... sy SENATOR Vim WEBER

! Senators Loftsgarden and Carley agreed
to appear before them in the Senate
Chamber and make answer to their de-
mands.
Unnerved and fatigued the speakers
were finally permitted to leave and
then the more diSgraceful part ensued.
The Senate chamber, which had been
entered by force, was turned into pigs
sly. Curses and threats rent the air.
Susie Staggeberg, the Red Wing radical
was there and added her bit-an I'M
pleasant bit It was field night for
the Communists.
The maudlin crowd wanted food.
They were furnished food at the Gov
errors order. Who is to pay is yet a
matter of conjecture.
Tuesday morning the chamber was a
sight for sore eyes. 1t was worse than
a bad barnyard. So filthy was it that
the Senate met only to adjourn. 1t re-
quired full days work of several JAM
tors to get the place in shape. Distn-
fectants still hang heavily in the air
to remind one of barroom toilet.
On Wednesday Senators Neumier,
Steining and Ruotsinoja offered reso-
luton, criticising the Governor for not
using his powers of office to stop the
riot ad for making public no word of
regret over the sorry spectacle. Far
mer-Laborites, Lawson, Bridgeman and
Mcleod expressed regret. Senator Lom-
men, his excellency's spokesman, alone
defended him. On Thursday the reSo-
luton was adopted by vote of Is to 10.
And so we sign off, hopeful that never
again will the people of the state be
chagrined by like disgrace.
There's one Minnesotan who isn't
going to worry about the responsible
ties of the Governors office being
placed on his shoulders. He is Senator
Oliver, of Graceville. On the portfolio
containing his Senate Finance papers
he has set forth 10 reasons why he
cannot accept the Goverorship. They
are as follows:
l. Because I cannot be elected.
2. Because I am way behind with
my fishing.
8. Because I have too many troubles
of my own.
4. Because I have too many friends
to whom I would want to give jobs.
5. Because all people do not want
the State Capitol moved to Graceville.
6. Because I could not waste the
time the Governor must waste.
Z. Because cannot talk fast enough
to place all the blame for my misdeedS
on my opponents.
8. Because I always get nervous
talking on the radio.
8. Because too many people do not
want business administration.
10. Because I can't help but believe
that the other fellow might be just as
honest in his convictions as I am in
mine
And some Senators, too, wear
heavy crown. That is they have hard
time deciding between their own con-
victions and loyalty to their chief. It
is refreshing indeed, to see men who
feel their honest convictions come be-
fore allegiance to superiors who may

place, sometime, someone said some
thing to the effect that heavy is the
head that wears golden crown" AND
We might justly paraphraSe that old
adage by saying that just now heavy
is the head that wears the Farmer
Labor crown. Or is it.? While the
State of Minnesota has been disgraced
as it has never been disgraced before
by group Of lawless, defiant, vulgar
degenerates who turned what should
have been respectable and peaceable
lobby into a riotouS mob, who held
members of the State Senate prisoners
the while they threatened them and
their loved ones with bodily injury if
their demands were not met, no word
of regret, to this writers knowledge, has
yet animated from the lips of Governor
Elmer Benson.
The sordid affair is too well Known,
am sure, to need any further elabora-
ton here. Indeed, so reprehensible
that it is not deserving of space on
clean white paper.
Dirgrace to the state and everyone of
its inhabitants was the elimination of
the Peoples Lobby" which had been
agitated for some two weeks by John
Bosch, superintendent of the State
Mill, originator of the Farmers Holt
day, and ranking radical in many farm
movements for several years.
On Sunday, April 4th, people of the
state were urged to attend great rally
in the ST. Paul auditorium and there
hear the demands of the so-called pro-
gressives for must legislation" Liter
allure stated that 10000 would be
present. I peered into the auditorium
and my guess is that there were less
than 1900. But included in the group
were not only honest farmers and BUSH
ness men, who felt they had a just
grevience, but Communists of the Twin
Cities, Duluth, Albert Lea, Mankato
and other points, who saw fine OPP
portunity to further Their cause Of
governmental destruction.
Monday the Senate recessed at II &C
A. M. to listen to the Lobby leaders, in
Guiding Mr.. Bosch. They were gentle
manly and were given an attentive
ear From the Senate they went to
the House chamber and repeated their
demands. But the Communistic ele-
ment were not to be outdone. They
had gathered in the rotunda and lifted
the ceiling with their shouted epithets.
Here they organized their shock
troops and headed for the Senate fl
nance committee room. They de-
manded that s17,O000OO be Immediately
appropriated for relief purposes and
paid their respects in no printable terms
to the members of the committee.
From Finance they stormed the Sen
ate Tax Committee, and kept them
imprisoned in the small room for four
full hours. Here they demanded that
committee members sign a statement
pledging support to some twelve bills,
and threatened the members not only
with bodily injury, but injury to their
families if they did not acQuiesce. Com
mittee members were only allowed tC
leave the room under guard and were
buffeted about. In order to escape,
some members signed the pledge sheet;

to turn the car around, and because

the monkeys are largely vege-
tarians. In man, however, this
part of the intestine has atrophied
and represents a vestigial struc-
ture.
The appendix has all the coats
Of an ordinary piece of intestine
and the canal is still present. It
is partly the persistence of this
canal that gets us into trouble. In
the early days Of appendicitis
surgery it used to be said that
grape seeds got into the appendix
and caused appendicitis. That is
possible, but what usually gets in
is a small intestinal stone which
sets up Inflammation.
An. unfortunate feature Of the
evolution of the appendix is that
when it began to atrophy, the
lymphoid tissue did not atrophy as
much as the rest. Lymphoid It's
sue, which is the same as tonsillar
tissue, is very easily infected, and
a large part Of the wall Of the ap-
pendix is made up Of this form OF
tissue.
OF course, as you can find out
by questioning some of your
friends, we can get along perfectly
well without the appendix, and it
makes no difference at what age
it is removed Q We get along just
as well when it is removed at the
age of one year as we do if it is
removed at the age of so or 60.
In fact, we would get along a good
deal better without 1t, for it would
remove the possibility of an at
tack on appendicitis, which is one
of the most dangerous and treach-
erous Of diseases.
