besieges him In youth; often the
urge assails him in later years. Sig
Carlson Is one Of these mere men
who resisted to the urge. It seems
that Lulu Kriesel. the chief op Of
the telco, rooming at the Carlson
home, came down, viewed Sigurd's
visage and stopped the show with,
"Whatta va doinf Raising an avn
ing over your eat shop"
And while we're telling stories,
Allen Meigs, the restaurnateur,
tells the one about the fellow, who
having filled himself to his delight,
announced he was sorry but could
not pay. That's all right" came
back the proprietor, "I'll just write it
on the wall" The fellow, objecting
to that, announced all his friends
would see 1t. Don't worry" came
the reply, your hat will be over It,"
Which reminded Jim Benson, the
Gilman, of the time he left his over
coat in hook in st. Cloud whilst he
scrambled around to dig up the
where-with-all to pay for his lunch.
Frankly, there is something
frightening in man eating pan
cakes with his knife. Saw one the
other morning. I wince each time
the blade travels to the mouth;
what If he should cut himself? Yet
there is something fascinating in
watching a master of the art, the
deftness with which he balances
the morsel on the route, and then
literally seems to plunge it into the
cavity -.
Understanding the dials the
other Sunday a. m, Vern Soltau dis
covered that his brother, Rev. Hen
ry Soltau, by the by known as the
Hunting Parson, was broadcasting
over WTCN from the Wesley Meth
odist Church :. And by the by, the
orchestra leader, Joe Jung, now
playing at st. PauPs Lowry, is not
far removed a local boy. Now heard
over the radio, and considered big
time in orch circuits, he is second
cousin of Walt Jung, Sauk Centre

Trends-Seems to me that the
startling thing about the winter
isolation, so frequent thing in this
state Of many SHOWS, is the lack OF
facilities. The trends Of the times,
with automobiles and all bringing
the farmer out of his enforced sol
itude, has brought him to the hab-
it's of the city dweller. Where once
he was a provisioner; now he lives
the hand-to-mouth existence OF his
city brother. The fact that he can
get in so often accounts for this. SO
the trend has been in opening up
the rural communities to easier ira
vel. But when winter clamps down.
his isolation today is a hardship.
Years ago they expected to be iso-
lated, provisioned in the fall with
the staples for a long winter, hust-
led out of hiding, great coats, and
fur robes. He came to town only to
replenish perishables to bring in his
cream, to trade eggs for cash. A
farm woman the other day told me
that the two months last year when
she never left the farm were q
hardship. Years ago we were pre-,
pared; but today we depend on the

Bjone's as the last OF the general
stores here Was time when 1t
was unthought of to segregate
clothing sales from foodstuffs. And
in the days when communities were
short-handed Of business heads, the
general stores played a leading role
in their growth. These men, coming
to rural communities with some
capital, set up in business, handled
all types of necessities. Then
sprung up the age when articles APP
peared in wider variety. And the
type like the Fair Store was in the
offing. From these general stores,
around the open cracker barrel or
over a pile Of overalls, eminated
some of the philosophy OF this
country with the growing pains.
Little by little the general store
modernized, eliminated the open
cracker barrel and other character
istics of its stand :. Then the age
of specialization brought about a
sudden departure from the old
methods of merchandising. Now
the general store Is only an effigy
of what was once a leading institu-
ton. Now found only in the wide
spot settlements, and in tourist
hangouts -.

Just Droning Along
Ever becoming more popular Is
the mid-winter vacation stretch,
nearly supplanting the summer
time layoff. Today trips to Califor-
MIA and Florida are not uncommon
as the vacation trip in Winter, and
the sought for change in climate
affords a novelty. Minnesota's win
ters, with their monotonous long
cold spells, is largely responsible
for this turn of affairs. Was time
when anything but a summer vaca-
tion was an unthought of departure
from the status quo, that was in
dulged in only by few of the Sc
lect. The fact that many of such va
cationers take off over the holidays
is an added incentive to the winter
cavorting. AS cold settles over the
land. business takes its deepest
slumber of the year, hibernates fit
fully along with the animals. So at
these business low tides many are
