that number doubled. So you see
the great state of wilderness expanses
and lakes is rapidly becoming settled.
You know I have my doubts that
the dust up there on that lake shore
is virgin gold; I think it is the re-
mains of the gold which the big
lumber barons received for the fine
growth of timber which they exploited
in their mad rush to get it before
the other fellow did but they
were kind enough to leave thousands
of acres of worthless land for the
future generations to look over and
wish there was timber on.
Well, this is Monday morning and
we are just leaving Cass Lake, the
scene of the recent Indian squabble
+. and I didn't see single scalp.
1 am writing this in the back seat
of our automobile with my dare
devil brother driving. If I write
something that jars you then you
can charge it to the proper surround
ings because this road is rough, if
you please.
Ladies and Gentlemen! When you
read this the Nye-Langer feud will
have been settled as far as the voters
of North Dakota are concerned. I
will get out on limb, as the political
dopesters do when they have moth
ing to lose, and predict Nye vic
tory. l don't know why unless it is
because he used to be a newspaper
editor and 1 know they are accus-
toned to running and can do pretty
good job of it like the negro in Flor
ida did when he was shot at by
police. In describing the incident to
friend, he said that he heard one
bullet twice, once when it passed
him and when he passed it.
If Nye doesn't win at the North
Dakota primary tomorrow I will
come down off the limb next week
and predict that Mr.. LANCER, Da-
kota'S grain moratorium Governor,
will make things merry for those
Senators in Washington who want
the floor to do filibuStering
All, ha, they have our Sixth dis
trict Congressman milking cows down
in Washington He demonstrated his
proves the other day on well
trained cow in front of the White
House. Well shucks, it doesn't sur
prise me any as man nowadays
who runs for office, thinks it's popu-
lar to tell the voters of his farm
lineage. We are all farmers, by gum
and l am glad that Harold is seeing
the light and is doing some practical
farm work down in Washington; il
will at least give him a new cam
paign yarn.
Remember the time, though, wher
the late Magnus Johnson "disgraced'
Minnesota by challenging some other
Congressman to milking contest
He was serving as United States
Senator then and 1 imagine Harold
was one of those who thought Mag
nus should act his age and dignity
Well, well, times sure do change, bu
politics goes on forever.
Joe Louis is the only one in re.
cent times who has dared to oppose
Hitler'S wishes. He knocked MAJ
Schmeling senseless in the first round
of their prize fight the other nigh
just after Hitler sent his blessing t.
Herr Max, hoping he would win
Crossing the will of Mr.. Hitler i:
something the voters in Germany
don't dare to do-even in secret. Il
was a darned good thing, however
trick instead of Art Lasky, the Jew
for Hitler would have wanted the
Jews all chased out of the United
States.
Evidently there were some thoughts
in the minds of Max and his ham
oilers that they would not dare &c
back to Germany now that they had
failed to win the fight, but Hitler
has assured them that they should
have no fear. Shucks Hitler should
not hold anything against Max for
not winning for he did not have an
army to back him up as does Hitler
when he enters the flight ring" I'll
| bet Max did wish for that army OF
Hitler's though when the going got
tough.
Well, next week, I'll be one OF
the working folks again and if there
is nice quiet place there in Askov
I'll be after findin' it. Be SEEM you
