will come out of farms, homes, OF
property-it will all come out OF
business so called. Why then the
complaint against the senate-it
seems to have done a pretty good
job?-Upwards Of 251s millions of
dollars was spent in the state last
year for various forms of public
relief. Ten years ago the total
spent was less than million dol
lars. 1t looks as If the total spent
this year will be more than last
year. Without doubt we now have
large scale relief as a permanent
liability. Yet every attempt to cur
tail relief or put it on a better
business basis is met with loud
yells Of disapproval from farmer
labor leaders. The relief problem
must have a little common sense
injected into it or it will bust the
country.-Long Prairie Leader.
One Of the chief causes of war Is
hatred instilled in the populace
Hank back to the Civil war, the
Spanish-American brush and the
late World war. Mars, the God of
war, Is going strong now, and hat
red is being piled up to furnish
reasons for future conflicts. The
next World War will be Of such
magnitude that the white race will
be placed in jeopardy. But, that
means nothing to dictators, who
crave power.-Brown County Jour

Tells The World!
We have been asked who, in our
judgment, would be elected the
next president of the United States,
governor Of Minnesota and down
the line. While it is early to pre-
dict some things political it isn't
hard to tell the outcome Of the ma
tional election. President Roosevelt
will not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton. His successor will be a repub-
lican or democrat. all depending
upon who is nominated. At present
Hoover Is in the limelight. So far
as the state is concerned, the far
mer-labor party will not be able to
elect gubernatorial candidate

There Are Still A Few
Modern newspapers have a lot Of
mistakes. but most Of them do
their best to print the news as II
happens. They differ in that res
pect from papers Of a generation
ago which were primarily political
organs, secondarily newspapers. II
they weren't owned outright by
politicians, the mortgage on them
was. The only modern papers Of
that type are the Minnesota Lead
err, La Follette's Weekly and a few
others which according to their
own modest statements, dare to
tell the truth."-Sleepy Eye Her.

Passing Out
1t isn't hard Tor older citizens OF
Chatfield to recall the predictions
made about the time the auto APP
peared that the new method Of
transportation spelled the doom Of
the horse. Happily. that prediction
did not come true. For a good
many years the horse remained In
demand as a beast Of burden, and
the price Of horseflesh showed no
decline.
Now, however. comes a horse
and mule census that throws new
light on the subject. 1t shows the
number Of farm animals Is rapidly
decreasing and reveals that II this
continues it will be but few years
until the horse and mule have pass
ed almost completely out Of the
picture. The number Of horses In
the U. s., the census shows. drop
ped from 16.401 900 in 1925 to H.
858, 900 in 1885, a brief ten-year per-
Tod. The cause Is attributed not to
the automobile, as old-timers pre-
dicted, but to the modern motoriz-
ed machinery that is constantly
finding It's way to the farming
