close attention to the memorandum
on farm conditions in Minnesota.
I'll bet when the farmers learn that,
many of them will quit blowing and
the little pigs will run for shelter.
You know, though, I think the
government is going to get some place
if it goes through with the idea of
buying up the surplus food products
and seeing that the needy gets them.
That will, indeed, be keeping home
markets for home people and in help
ing our needy we will be practicing
real cooperation as did the little boy
in church who noticed that the lady
next to him could find no money
to place in the collection plate. The
lad said: "Here, take my dime and I'll
hide under the seat"
You know folks, motorists are
something like deer When hunting
season comes around the fleet footed
animals seem to know they can do
as they please in game refuge with
out harm and they go there and one
can almost imagine them thumbing
their noses at human beings. Well,
by golly, I drove off the beaten trail
Sunday night where traffic cops are
as scarce as old maids teeth at bed
time and I'll be darned if I wasn't
cockeyed most of the next day be-
cause of the glare of headlights which
Just would not dim. l was playing
march time with my foot on the head
light button so much that had diff
ficult time the next day to keep from
goose stepping to work.
Isn't that just like we human be-
ings? When the cops are around we
bend over backward trying to COM
ply with the law and when we get off
the beaten trail of the law enforce
ment officers we disgrace our intel
ligence.
This campaign has been so long
and so bitter that l would like to point
out a few pertinent observations. l
have it figured, according to what 1
have heard, that a Communist is a
person who has given up all hope of
becoming a capitalist. A politician
is a fellow who's got what it takes
70 foly hot NyhO
shakes your hand before election and
your acquaintance afterwards. Poll
tics operates the only well-oiled ma
chine which develops friction
We, in the rural districts, live
happily with the soul of poet, mind
of a philosopher, tastes of hermit,
and a good car If we haven't the
car we live with the tastes of a phil
osopher and mind of a hermit.
Now, they're saying in England
that King George vi is to send his
brother, the Duke of Kent, as COVER
nor general of Australia because he
wants to get the Duke and his modish
young wife out of the way. It's a
British Siberia" say society gos-
sips and to Marina, wife of the Duke,
it is bitter proof that the jealousy OF
Queen Elizabeth and the disapproval
of Queen Mother Mary had triumphed
over the most spectacular feminine
figure in Royalty since Mary Queen
of Scots. Now, isn't that just like
you women? You know, I believe
women are the same the world over
Remember the time the hostess sis
ter of our Vice President Charles
Curtis had the little tiff with Mrs
Nicolas LongWorth, wife of the then
speaker of the House, over who was
to sit nearest to the head of the
table or something?
Shucks, nations have been rocked
by woman's will, strong men have
been known to weep like babes under
women's rebukes and the mighty Re-
publican party may have suffered
downfall because it's women would
sit near to the head of the table.
Now, you men had better not get
too cocky for if it wasn't for you
there would be no women; at least
women would not be urged to anger
Of course there is one good thing
realized from the British situation
and that is that Royalty is human.
The go-getter goes till he gets what
he goes for.
The go-getter works till he reaps
what he SoWS for.
He fixes a goal and resolves when
he sets it
The way to a goal is to go till he
gets it.
