Part of the

All, well-perhaps having your

But always after the night,
there was the morning. And al
ways I went into the morning,
armed with the thought of you.
You didn't realize that, did
you? Didn't ever guess what
you were meaning to a woman
you'd never seen-Well, I'm
telling you now. Or trying to
for there aren't words
enough to ever tell you all
Meant Hope
And Pride
YOU MEANT EVERYTHING,
PARTNER. You meant hope
when I was licked. And pride
when was down. And brand
new start when was ready to
take the count for keeps. And
how did you do all that? JUST
BY BELIEVING IN ME.
You hadn't seen me and I
hadn't seen you-but I knew
you were out there in the big
muddle, somewhere. And up
against it just as I was up
against it.
If you were a woman, you
were knowing the terrors and
tears and foolish dreams that
only a woman can know.
But whichever you were, man
or woman-you were depending
on me. Not all of you, Of course,

You may not have a big bank

you've got something in you

Nh against the police there. 1t was
Mr.. Hoover who remarked that
- "the whole business so
blatantly and VIGOROUSLY that it
- appeared should not ask for
police cooperation" Disregarding

police toward "white slavery" we
- rise to remark that the term is gen
J. Edgar Hoover orally msnomer. Practically all
prostitutes voluntary They aren't chained; they
aren't in instances, forced to sell their bodies
by threats or intimidation; and consequently they
aren't "whte slaves.''
The police of most communities have two questions
to deal with 1-Crime 2-Vce. The communities
differ among themselves to what should be consid-
,,,, W. cred vice. and how to treat it.
As rule, the big cities and
u" C'''e0 D"'e' the seaboard cities go in for
more latitude in dealing with vice. These are the liberal
cities, which resented prohibton-so much that
they finally threw it off, and in the process developed
appalling amount of gangserism. These cities feel
that they should deal with their own vice problems.
We hold the same viewpoint in regard to-
THE MANN ACT
which we always have regarded as a great anomaly
and great mistake from the time it was passed. and
which we have consistently opposed This particular
c., <,-.,, problem of vice-Mann Act,
''white slavery" etc., is al
OOPe W." '"e most insoluble. It certainly is
not function of the Federal Government. The Gov
eminent can't hope to cope with vice. and it is certain
to get itself smeared, if it tries to do The Mann
Act has encouraged blackmail and, up to now, has
fallen pretty much into desuetude. It ought to remain
imperative. Some people are asking

As friends and admirers, and supporters of this unit
and of Mr. Hoover don't like to him get in
his head He's doing that if he embarks the rocky
road of vice and sex crimes.
We are most amazed by the extraordinary attitude
that there should be ga drive by Federal agents"
against physicians who treat prostitutes. Does Mr..
Hoover want these to
continue to spread venereal
FTOS'""'eS-NO' diseases as they will without
treatment or does he want them to be cured! It's
beyond our understanding. If gangster is shot, the
doctor who treats him must report this to the police
At least, the gangster gets his treatment Is this to

ELEMENTARY BUSYBODIES
The kindergarten class has a
harvest display of foods in their
room which they brought from
home. There are three new pupils
in the class: Dickie Alger, Lois
Huismann, and Catherine Ann Rob-
erts.
The second grade has a new stu
| dent from Doran, MINI. His name
is Ross Huismann. On Friday, Oct
ober 9Th, the class had slides about
Indians. These slides made their
study of Indians more clear and
more interesting.
] The second grade room is decor
ated for Halloween with JACKIE
lanterns and witches.
Last week Miss HenkePs first
and second graders had movie
slides about Indians.
The children have started second
grade spelling. Every week list of
the pupils who get 100 will be pub
lished in the Herald.
They have been busy making Hal
loween lanterns.
The study of Indian Life seems
to be the main interest in the third
and fourth grades. They are max
ing use Of additional material to
supplement the work in their text
books.
In Miss Boehmke's room an in
teresting sand table depicting life
in an Indian village is on display.
This was made by James Cordell.
Last Thursday the pupils Of Miss
Boehmke's and Miss Hemming's
room. enjoyed a series of slides on
Indian life which proved both edu-
cational and entertaining.
In Health Miss Holdin's classes
are making sample Menus for
breakfast and dinner.
They have also selected new Off

not quicker than the eye. All right,
the break occurs. A team gaining
no inspiration for such stroke Of
luck, might accomplish little. But a
team that can quickly visualize the
possibilities that are pent up in an
intercepted pass is the team thatrl
click its way to victory. If Sank
Centre would have had the breaks
Long Prairie had, the fact that they
have gained some of their scoring
this year in that manner leaves lit
tie doubt they would have cleaned
the Prairie lads AS witness Nor
man Bohn's run of 60 yards when
he caught an intercepted pass. He
could just as easily have stepped
out of bounds having saved the
possible scoring threat. But he was
alert. Long Prairie, too, was evil
IDENTIFY alert. It follows out, too, If
you'll watch it, that the team that
capitalizes its breaks wins the ball
game. And so I don't alibi. Nor do
I point the accusing finger at the
locals.
The only earned, hard-fought,
sustained drive for a touch
down the locals committed.
Their march was right down
the field and two passes paved
the final lap Of their journey.
In their try for point they
zoomed over the line with the
ball carrier standing up.
Passes are funny animals. Don't
you know. Faithful, they will per-
form miracles turning hopeless de-
feat into victory. But often they
turn around and bite the hand that
brought them into the world. Fri
day two passes in that early drive
of the locals clicked. The last one
sent them over for the score. But
two others turned traitor. One was
intercepted and the runner turned
tail and waltzed 105 yards for a
score. And another interception
led to a touchdown. So where are
you? One time they win for you,
the next time they beat the living
daylights out of you. Boy, it's all in
the game.

only once. don't mean they have
not gone down battling, but the tai
lies are one win and three losses.

rated highly-Morris-the boys,

she drove in the third run. Ine
final was 25 to z.
Breaks-Perhaps this Long
Prairie defeat, which was the
first over a local team since the
boom year of 1888, is the
strangest on record. It's a
heartbreaking game of breaks
with them all one way. I'm not
abiding, 1 don't do that. I'm a
firm believer that the team
that can capitalize on its breaks
Is the team that should win.
But when four such breaks
arise in a game that lead to
four succeeding tOuchdowns, L
want to point out that the
breaks might have gone either
way. A field soggy with rain, a
ball slippery with water, these
things are eveners. They make
teams more even, and they
make for breaks. Usually In
such weather fumbles result
