An amber gold shade is the most

Suits go everywhere in pieces OF

Sweaters and skirts worn with
bright and contrasting colored

only meant for school girls, but all
women are wearing them to their

It doesn't take a great deal OF

The little city of Alexandria, Min

as one of its citizens Phil Noonan.
Mr.. Noonan Is a veritable god
father to Alexandria. Besides oper-
ating a most successful produce
and creamery business, which en-
ploys several hundred people, he
takes leading part in all COM

opened a fine new refrigerator

he announced that next year he and
his wife would build several new
homes in Alexandria to help solve
the housing problem.
But it is his home that Mr.. Noon
an is proud of. There he has con-

equal in the nation, and to which
people from all over the country are
attracted, thus aiding in business
and social activity in Alexandria.
Other communities have men of
means like Mr.. Noonan, but some

1t might be noted that all the
checks issued are bigger than for
merly, an inevitable result of hav-
ing in power political gang giving
lip service to economy and effic-
iency in government.
But 100000 is quite a bunch of
checks to use in single year. 1t
gives one an entering wedge for
specializing on what it must be
worth to those in royal favor for
printing contracts for the state.
Check forms are, of course, but a
tiny part of the whole printing bill
but, Gosh, how Ben Bird of The
SentinePs commercial printing de-
partment would like to grab off an
order for printing 100000 checks.
No chance though, for the obstinate
little devil is a Bird in the first
place, and doesn't carry a member
ship card in the farmer-labor asso-
citation.
Writing these checks in the old
fashioned way, by hand labor,
would require the work Of quite a
little army of clerks. The work is
not done that way, however. The
checks are written and signed in
gangs by machines. If these mach
ines were replaced by humans,
there would be good chance Of
pushing up the number of those re-
ceiving political rewards via state

To Much Government
Start out tomorrow and canvass
the country, asking every man you
meet how many different divisions
of government there are in the U.
S., and it is safe to say not one will
be anywhere near correct in his es-
innate.
For two years the job of count
ing the actual number has been I'M
der way, and the result should
make every taxpayer open his eyes
in wonderment. The total shows,
that there are in this country 127
thousand school districts, 20 thou
sand townships, 16 thousand incor-
porated cities, towns, boroughs and
villages, 3 thousand counties, and 8
thousand, six hundred miscellan-
eous sewer districts, park districts,
levee districts, etc. It must be re-
membered that each of these 49,
418 districts has it's payroll, and
also that each district has the pow
err to tax.
This is, as all must admit, a most
wasteful setup. There are at least
ten times too many of these gov
eminent divisions. Because they
are conferred in Washington, FEEDER
al employees draw a concentrated
fire of criticism because Of their
numbers. But, in reality, their num-
bers are insignificant when COM
pared with the great army of over
tapping employees of lesser political
and governmental units. Residents
of every state cry aloud for econ
omy in public affairs and reduction
in taxes, and never turn hand to-
ward consolidating some of their
units of state and county govern
ment, and abolishing those for
which there is no real need. Until
there is a nationwide move in that
direction we must continue to live
in a country that suffers from too

these are dependent upon the mat
