A "Meanest Thief.

Bayport-A leading contender for
the "meanest" thief title was nom
mated here and orchids offered the
thief mean enough to make useless
stove used by hundreds of persons. One
night last week someone broke into the
log cabin at the local park and stole the
entire top from the range. To make
the job better, the prowler either stole
or threw away the lock to the door
which had been forced by tearing
away the staples holding the lock.
The superstition that the act was COM
mltted by someone located in Or near
the village is grounded on the fact that
person not acquainted with the cabin
could not have known of the range.
The other stove in the cabin was not
disturbed.

BerLinite Purchases
Minnesota Groceries

Red Wing-Loyalty to the home

the mind of Mrs. Amelia Wilson, who
lives with a daughter in Berlin, Ger
many, and recently ordered long list
of groceries from the Lake City mer-
chant with whom she had traded
for years. Among the grocery items
listed were such products as shredded
wheat, puffed rice, grape-nutS, corn
flakes, bran, cake flour, Jello, SO pack
ages of chewing gum, and graham
crackers. A total of $50 items were
listed. Mrs. Wilson reports a food
shortage in Berlin and states that a

daily by those in authority to see that
all waste is eliminated as far as pos

Costs Man $50 to
See State Capitol.

Preston-Melvin Jacobson of Whalan
has decided $50 is too much money to
pay to just look at the state capitol.
Jacobson was sitting in the bus depot
at Chatfield when a stranger engaged
him in conversation and, learning that
he was headed for st. Paul, promised
to show him the state capitol The
traveller saw the capitol; the stranger
saw $500 in bills which jacobson car
ried. When the money was displayed
the stranger grabbed it and ran.

The Ffterman report struck the state
like a bomb shell. Things contained in
the survey were pretty generally known
by persons who had given any thought
to the trend of finances in Minnesota,
but these things lacked confirmation by
an official authority and this the Filter
man report supplied.
The state administration apparently
sought to take credit for starting the
whole survey, after they noted the re-
action from throughout the state, but it
is to be remembered that the state ad-
ministration, before the release of the
survey, did not indicate in any way that
the survey was being made. The adj
ministration apparently figured that
discredit would be cast upon previous
administrations and not upon its own.
In this they were mistaken. Their
aftermath of graphing for credit has
been given little credence for any well
informed observers.
1t scarcely required the investigation
of an expert, to determine the fact that
there was existing an extensive over
missions and that they were patiently
created as patronage tokens to be given
out in exchange for political support
This was made clearer to the voters OF
the state, however, when the governor
SO CURLY rejected genuine civil SER
vice proposal such as the one submitted
to the legislature last winter-the one
which bore the Endorsement of the
American Federation of Labor.
The need for economy which is en-
phaSized in the Fiterman report scarce
ly requires comment. As one instance
it is noted that the number of highway
department employees alone jumped
from 1850 to 10000 in period of three
years during a time when there should
be less need for maintenance due to the
greater permanent highway surfacing
1t is evident from the whole report that
economy as pillar of state government
has been virtually ignored and now the
structure is starting to fall of its own
weight.

olution was won. Naval blockade by
the French was the final, II not the
decisive factor that made possible the
existence of our Nation. We can well
understand, therefore, why Washing
ton recognized the need Of Navy
sufficiently powerful to prevent the
landing Of foreign troops on Ameri-
can soil.
In the event Of war, If we have a
nucleus of an active army. it can be
rapidly expanded Indeed, the Army
must expand to many times its insig-
nificant peacetime strength before it
could become effective for war. But
not so with the Navy. It must be ready
to Withstand attacks immediately, at
the very hour that war is declared,
and repel any attempts Of invasion un-
til the Army can be recruited and
trained. Theoretically ut least, If the
Navy were strong enough. the Army
would never be called upon for the pur-
pose of defense.
Furthermore, q strong and efficient
Navy with its planes and carriers Is
the only sure safeguard from foreign
air aggression. Invasion from the air
will come through the use Of aircraft
carriers-huge naval crafts that carry
100 planes each. The enemy. by the
use of its aircraft carriers lying two
or three hundred miles of shore. with
in comparatively few minutes could
send hundreds of planes from its car
riers, under cover of night, and launch
q raid that could destroy our seacoast
cities.
Reliance Of China.
We have been speaking about war
ships, and about building more war
Ships-wallS of steel for our defense
We have seen why this has and will
continue to cost billions of dollars. But
with all our extensive naval craft, we
must remember that the defense of
the country in the final analysis lies.
unfortunately. with walls of men and
not walls of steel. China relied upon
walls Of stone So did the Roman En-
pire. Ethiopia relied upon walls Of
words, namely. international leagues
an0 peace pacts. All such walls,
whether they be of steel, or stone, or
words, crumble unless they are backed
up by walls Of men. Naval vessels,
however powerful. do not win wars.
1t is the man power that achieves the
victory. Therefore, it is of supreme
importance that the man power of the
country be prepared to defend our
liberties in the event Of an unfore-
seen and unexpected attack Unless
we have well-trained men who know
how to navigate, how to fly and how to
fight. our warships and warplanes are

her Navy and air forces. We must
have trained soldiers, sailors and ma
rines, as well a. air pilots, who can
speedily emerge from the peaceful
avocations of life, ready to augment
the active forces of the country's de-
fense, in the event Of attack. We can
build hundreds Of airplanes in 90 days,
but we cannot train the necessarily
skilled pilots with knowledge of gun
merry in less than year to combat a
superior force of trained pilots and
gunnery experts. participating In a
hostile attack. Therefore. it seems to
me highly important this necessary
force and essential training be pro-
vided.
1t is inspiring to note the number,
character and extent Of personal sacri-
flces already being made by the young
men Of the country. enlisted in the
active and reserve forces. There are
many more willing and anxious to

patriotic spirit of such organized
youths would become in suppreSsing
and eradicating communism and
other un-American isms that have in
tested so many Of the countries Of
Europe and are believed to be propa-
eating their undemocratic doctrines In
our own beloved land. If we could
inculcate into all the young men of the
country the pride Of service, the devo-
tion to duty and the respect for au-

no fear for the Republic These Off
GERS and enlisted men do not want
war. They realize that they would
be its first victims. but they fully ap-
