BY A. w. CONAWAY

East after having stated he was
pleased with the farm sessions he
had in this state Well, they sure
were nice; and I understand there
were just coolies of eats.
Mr.. Dewey went where all our
farm experts, it seems, eventually go
to the East :. that is wonderful
place in which to forgive and forget.
I do hope he will come again when
the farmers are really farming. Why
shucks he came out here at time
when all the farmers are 'dolled up"
for Christmas and busy spending the
four or five dollars they have made
this year.
The best way for them politicians
to find out about the farm is to go
out like the old time fellers used to
tend the babies, pitch hay and slop
the pigs. Then they can go back
East and really fix up a program
which will leaStwise make interesting
reading for the farmer even if they
can't get it passed by Congress.
It appears that the State of Min
nesota will have to issue tickets for
the coming campaign so that the
presidential nominees can take their
turn there seems to be SO many
of them wanting to use this state for
a training camp.
The Republicans always did like
Minnesota. We had bunch of 'em
making their headquarters in our
State Capitol for l6 years straight.
The Democrats are beginning to be
attracted here also.
Well, by golly it ought to make
it swell for us to have all of those
political platforms started on our own
soil . you know we always feel sure
of getting our roads plowed first if the
snoWploW can be stored right near
our door.
l see by the paper where a cham
pion steer was sold for S1.35 pound.
It's really a shame to kill critter
that is worth that much when we
have so many worthless ones around.
Headline: "Plan Help For Finland
at Farley" Good. That's the way
CZechoslovakia and Poland got their
help.
see where Stassen faced Roose-
Welt in verbal duel" That should
have been worth hearing, they've
both had so much practice at talking
. =. . one busy with his ''Fireside Chats
and the other telling how many new
industries he has brought to Min
nesota.
Two more presidential candidates
are out of the picture as far as we
conservationists are concerned-John
Nance Garner, Democrat, and Robert
Taft, Republican Those fellows kill
too much game to suit us why
saw in a picture where Garner
was standing between two buck deer
in his hunting camp near UValde
Texas, and Taft, by l6-pound wild
turkey, in the same state.
We ought to make Texas game
refuge and then all the defeated
politicians could go there and live
happily ever after.
| Two attorneys, plaintiffs in the
suit to void the recent ST. Paul tele-
phone compromise rate, have filed
claim for S30,264.15 fees. There
seems to be money in the telephone
game.
Workmen are installing rubber COM
position wheels on the single track
electric railway cars which run in the
underground passage between the
| Capitol and the Senate office build
| ing IT'S said the trip will be smooth
er and less noisy with the new APP
paratus. That's alright to make it
smooth for the gentlemen after they
get there, for the path is going to be
mighty rocky for some of 'em to again
get from home to the Senate
I'll bet some of that rumble we
have heard coming from the great
marble halls once in a while has
been those noisy wheels . and we
| thought it was a filibuster.
Maury Maverick, the obstreperous
Texas politician, is going to raise his
own vegetables from now on
many of his political opponents see
| a rough road ahead since the San
Antonio mayor will have his own
ammunition.
A chain letter came to me this
week. 1t is a case of the recipient
sending a 75-cent golf ball to the
top one of three names on the letter:
