job above all things. When the
Farmer-Labor party started out, the
big press gave out names and free
advertising to kill the movement.
In those days it was not the Com
munist name; only Russian Red, Boil
shevik and later German Hun. The
press used lots of ink and lost very
much sleep over the party. The
dirty mudslinging Capitalist press
made so much paper noise Min
nesota people started to read about
the names and Farmer-Labor party
Today its branches are spread out
in every county of our state and from
there into other states and Canada.
have noticed in nearly every
case the more names and mud they
can advertise against party or good
party man, the stronger the party
grows and it is better such a man can
be reelected. The Socialist party
and the Communist party received the
same dose. 1 have voted for the
three parties, yet was not a men,
Der of any one of them. It's a mans
privilege to vote for any man or
woman on our states and nations
ballot. l have had the habit for
many years of studying up different
parties, including the Communist,
which Petersen is trying to make us
believe will ruin our state govern
ment. The trouble with those driv-
ing so hard at party is they do
not know what Communism is.
Petersen claims the Communists
cursed Governor Olson Well, 1 am
not from Missouri, yet 1 have to be
shown before 1 believe. Petersen
also made it clear he would rather
be defeated than to be elected by
the help of Communists, which is
very natural, after what 1 got out
of reading about the party if 1 un-
derstand it right. Petersen doesn't
need to worry any, real party men,
Der of the Communists would never
think of giving him one vote, not
one, after his paper and radio talk
was known. %
The Communist believes land
should not be taxed, but income
should be. If the income is so small
that he has to use it for a living
then there are no taxes, so under
this system the Federal Land Bank
Building would be used for a hospital
or school to help our present con-
dition. The men or women who pro-
duce our nations and worlds wealth
will get the benefit of the wealth,
but the Capitalist and the non-pro-
Queer takes the wealth and when we
do not produce enough we are put
out of our homes.
Rev. jobs. Knudsen of Askov, also
believes the Communists are enemies
to party and churches. His statement
doesn't surprise me any. Some men
will talk about something they know
very little about. Yet a Communist
has the privilege to believe in any
of the several present religions we
have today to fit his taste. With SC
many different branches of religion
there should be enough for all.

Tells OF Early Days

ing. Marriages and other religious
ceremonies that took place between

Life Blood

With the coming and passing of
the creamery annual meetings sig
nificance is brought to mind as to
the dairy industry's part in the liveli-
hood of the nation. One must bring
his imagination to an eXertive stage
to visualize the Importance in its
true light that great boon to man
kind.
Not only is milk, cream, butter and
beef source of human energy, but
they play a great part in the eco
nomic well being of nation and a
world. If the price of dairy pro-
ducts is high, then it seems that bust
ness and wages in general are going
along in prosperity wave, but let
the price of dairy products drop and
we will see that the whole industrial
machine is given ''let-down."
Why can't economists see and do
something about the keeping firm of
prices in that industry. They have
tried almost every other line of
human production and it seems that
no matter what they try, the pros
perity wheel pointer goes upward
only when the price of milk, cream
and butter advances. The price of
wheat can go to a fairly high level
without any reaction on the general
economic situation This was seen
in partial form the past fall when
northwest farmers sold most of their
wheat for dollar bushel. That
did not seem to influence the pros
perity of any here.
But witness the general trend up
ward of business conditions and
wages last year and one will see
that also butterfat and other products
of the dairy industry were bringing
fair prices.
Our legislators will not get real
farm bill until they get one which
will also include aiding features for
dairying, and when that time comes
we can look for steady climb in
business throughout the land.
Whether one stays on the farm,
goes into eating places of the small
hamlet and village, or goes to the
large cities his main demands at the
table are for milk, cream, butter or
all three. Then, why shouldn't the
dairy industry, which governs such
a large part of our desires at the
table, be treated with more consid-
Grafton when we are casting about
for cure-all for our economic ills?

.Rv LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

IN OUR review of the different
systems of the body which we have
been conducting for the past few
weeks. we now come to the humblest
of all and perhaps the most trouble
some. This is the locomotor system
the lowly wheels of our bodily
chariot which hauls us about and
sits us down and reaches out for the
needs of life.
Subservient as it is, it is never
theless a most complicated system.
The different organs that go to make
it up are bones, muscles, tendons,
Joints and the fine joint-like sur
faces that are interposed between
the tendons and the bones, the
bursae.. All of them are subject to
trouble of every sort, and since they
are surrounded by most compll-
Gated network of nerves, all these
troubles are intensely painful.
More than any other system in
the body, the locomotor system is
subject to injury. Fractures and
dislocations, and torn tendons and
muscles lie in wait for all of us.
