Other Famous Sons From Main Street

Sinclair Lewis visit to this state has brought to
light that there numerous other famous sons
and daughters of this city, who have been over
shadowed by the authors talent, unique personality
and his ability in getting free publicity. He is, of
course, the most famous of this city, often
renamed by the st. Cloud Times, "the capitol OF
Franklin County" Yes, Sinclair Lewis is not the
only famous son. but the list published is not
complete. We add among the greatest Henry
johnson and Fred w. Carpenter.
Henry Johnson professor of history in the Teach
ers College Of Columbia University author of Teach
ing History" a Sauk Centre lad Fred w. Car
penter, born in Sauk Centre, appointed secretary
to President Taft when he Governor of the
Philippines, served Presidents Envoy Extraordn-
ary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Morocco, and
later to Siam. The list of others is as follows:
james B. Hendryx, author of boys and adven-
ture stories; Winthrop Benner vice president of the
United States librarian in Washington; John Costello
Elliot, head designer, Mississippi Barge Co.. Cincn-
nati former chief designer for the Packard Motor

Tallulah Bankhead and katharine Cornell; William
Kay Minneapolis, Northland Transportation division
head and the former Edna Forsberg, head secretary
of the Mars Candy Co. Chicago, before her marriage
listed in the who's who of Illinois women.
What other town could gather together such a
galaxy of prominent people? Some towns, no doubt
would be satisfied to claim Sinclair Lewis alone

THE HANDSOME ROAD
BY Gwen Bristow
To the planters in Louisiana, the
American Revolution meant very
little. The inhabitants of Ardeith
and Sherwood continued to export
their rich cargoes of indigo, and
they were family amused when
this 'squabble between foreigners"
occurred.
But for their descendants, plan
tation owners of the Sixties, diff
ferent war and the period that fol-
lowed had terrible significance. At
first they too were merely annoyed
by the disturbance and they told
each other their husbands would be
home by grinding time" Grad
ually they came to realize that
something was happening to their
lives and the society in which they
lived.
It is the intensely dramatic story
Of two women and what these
changes did to them. Gwen Bris-
tow told in deep Summer" about
the people who built luxuriant, flor
id civilization, and in this book
she tells how the civilization was
and a different one
made to take it's place. 1t turned
the world upside for them all: To
some it meant destruction, but to
others it meant hope.

What To DO With
Christmas Trees

so. ST. PAUL What to do with
secondhand Christmas trees Is
something Of a problem for some
folks in these days of oil-burners
but one chap found a solution for
at least part of the problem. He
stripped all the needles off the
tree and put them in a sack to
make a scented mattress for
the family dog. Now If he can find
a nudist colony to donate the rest
of the tree to, everybody but the
fleas on the dog will be happy.

Well, Why Not?

President Roosevelt in urging Congress to make
all government salaries and securities subject to the
general income tax laws of the federal and state
governments, has made mistake for the general
public with few exceptions favors such 1t is
said that such action would increase federal revenue
as much as S3OO000000 annually, a sum not to be
sneezed at. Those who might resent such action
could possibly be public employees and there is no
reason why any part of wealth should be tax free.

income tax for the privilege of feeding at the public
