if the owner has refused to sell it to
the Harlem Negro cult" ''The earth
is the Lords, and the fullness there
Of" he said, land not anything can
prohibit my followers from getting
and owning anything they desire"
Boy, it takes faith to say that and
believe it. In these times of stress
maybe the cult would be good
thing to belong to.
In fact my contention was proved
true the next day after the above
news report was given out Ram
sey county lost one of its relief clients
who joined one of the Fathers heav-
ems near New York. She is now,
l reckon, a full fledged angel and
has found that Utopia that we all
seek
Fritz Kuhn, the German-American
bund leader, whom a congressional
investigating committee is trying to
pin un-American activities onto, needs
to 60 home and take short course
under the tutorship of his superior
Adolf Hitler AT a recent hearing
session he called one of the Con-
gressmen a liar. There was a near
blow session, but somehow Naziism
is still safe here.
Anyhow der are few men who can
get by wit der bluffs Der Fuehrer
does.
Those fellows over in Europe
shouldn't get so cocky about who
uses the shipping lanes and when,
for l find that our own Mississippi
dumps more water into the ocean
every year than all the streams in
Europe combined.
| 'Tis said, also, that Old Man River
takes along with it as much top soil
from Americas richest farm belt
every year as there is in some Euro
pean countries . but never mind
that . we haven't missed it much
since Henry Wallace has been Sec
rotary of Agriculture.
l see by the papers that Berlin is
having her face lifted well just
so she doesn't strut too much after
the treatment.
The present enrolment of CCC
boys in the state is expected to place
about 100000 into circulation.
Then too, look at the lost people the
boys aid in finding. They also help
to justify the Democrats stay in the
White House.
A Juneau, Wisconsin, farmer had
to think fast recently to save his
wife from death. She fell from the
seat of tractor which was pulling
a binder operated by himself He
leaped from his seat on the binder
and threw himself in front of one
of the binder wheels, thus raising
the knives as they passed over his
wife's body ah-h, love like that
must be grand.
I see where the investigating COM
mittee has found that Charles Mum,
railroad & warehouse commissioner,
has too large automobile repair bills.
The committee makes out that the
bills are too high and that the state
pays them. The research gentlemen
base their findings over a four and
one-half year period D.. OHIO, I see
it all now! Mum will be up for re-
election next year.
That must be political machine
which Mum drives :. since it costs
the taxpayers so much.
An old southern farmer was re-
Gently found in the corridors of the
Capitol building in Washington. On
being asked whom he wished to see,
he said he was looking for Secretary
Wallace. Why? asked the interro-
gator. Well, the cotton 1 cut by his
orders has become infected and mort
gage has set in and is spreading to
all the neighbors. He was referred
to WPA for remedy.
At least there was one Englishman,
Wednesday, who was not thinking of
war. John Cobb, London fur broker,
drove his specially constructed 2600-
horsepower auto 368.85 miles per
hour to establish a new record on
land. That speed may not mean
much to the average American, but
it sure would be fine for Hitler to
use in case his bulldozing doesn't
work much longer.
Headlines state that "Stassen Res
cues Four From Storm in Lake of
Woods" Doggone it, that governor
job does carry with it lot of re-
sponsibilities, doesn't it?
