THE LOW DOW N
-from
HICKORY GROVE

A Teller does not need much OF a
memory to bark back to when 1t was
next door neighbor to being a dis
grace, to be a beggar.
But this world, she moves, and fast.
And times change. And now, being a
beggar, it is a badge of distinction.
Like if you are a Mayor of some city
and you go down to Wash. and you tell
'em there how many votes you can scare
up for them, and they give you 2 mil
lions to build a bigger fish pond in
your park, you are some pumpkins
And you get reelected your ownself :
at next election.
And if you only get one million in
stead of million, you are a poor excuse
of Mayor.
And with Governors, it is likewise.
And the money they dish up down
there in Old Bazoo City, it is our own
money in the first place. We are a
great outfit, thinking we are getting
something from the other guy.
1t is kind of ring -the-rosey
like back in P. T. Barnum's time; and
when we get home, we are the 'okel
again-and our watcn and chain, they
are missing.
Yours, with the low down,

what the farmers got out of the last
legislature. Well, putting farmers in
with all other citizens and consider
ing the state as a whole they got an
honest effort to cut down state eXpen-
ses. They got support of an honest eff
fort to clean out the rascals who had
got into power with the help of The
Times. They got good start on a civil
service system which as it develops will
prevent recurrence of the depart
mental politicalizing that had scandal
lied the people. They got law that
will prevent thugs, under the guise of
organizing the workers, from closing
creameries and that will give farmer
hauling livestock to market chance
to use the highways without getting
his skull cracked They got law re-
organizing the state government that
it's supporters claim will save taXpay-
ers million dollars year. They saw
the session adjourn, without single
new tax added or an old one increased.
These are some things which we believe
helped the state as a whole and thus
helped the farmers whose welfare Is
inseperably wrapped up in the develop
ment and prosperity of all Minnesota.

of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, in a half
page article wildly describes northern
Minnesota after making tour of the

Mr.. Smith writes:
Trying to describe the lakes in
upper Minnesota is like attempting an
account of the cathedrals of Europe,
most of which have towers and rare
windows. The Arrowhead lakes are
all blue in setting of birch and pines
Sometimes they are sheets Of azure;
often they rush the shore in Saucy
waves. Mile Laos and her big sisters
have been known to emulate Erie in
storminess."
Herbert Wilson, noted auto and
travel editor of the Chicago American

by the bureau. AS a result of these
visits and others, the state receives
millions of words of laudatory pub
licity all over the nation.

COMPETITION FOR
INDUSTRY

While Minnesota has done little to retain and
attract industries other states have been most active
The New England states are active in advertising
their resources and opportunities.
The southern states have also undertaken COM
prehensive plan to attract industries The governors
of nine southeastern states recently united in cam
pagn to advertise the of their communities
Scores of cities throughout the Middlewest expend
large sums to attract and build industries.
Many states offer tax exemptions to industries
for substantial period of years
There is not single important industry in Mime
sofa which has not been asked or pleaded with to
elsewhere by citizens of other states.
Minnesota should invite industry. 1t should first
extend invitation to present industries to remain
1t should then seek new industries on the basis of
resources, advantages and markets.

THREE TRUCKS
 TANGLE. LOOP
 ROAD ACCIDENT
Wreck Lays Up Two Cali fornia Grocery Trucks
 Passenger Hurt

Three trucks, a load of oil, a ton of sand, a film of snow on the ground and a bad turn contributed yester- day on the loop road of the Glacier Highway to a freak accident in which two of the trucks were badly damaged n d passenger in on e slightly injured.
 Carrying 1000 pounds of sand for the Bavard vegetable garden, a Cal ifornia Grocery truck driven by John Bavard rounded the turn at the top of a hill to see the oil truck looming up ahead of him. They crashed. A moment later a second California Grocery truck, operated by Philip Bertholl and sim ilarly loaded, rammed into the rear of Edwards car.
 The heavy oil truck, belonging to the Juneau Transfer and operated by Bill Kolander, was damaged only slightly.
 Passenger Hurt
 Tony Flagg, riding with young Bavard, suffered a lacerated and bruised arm.
 The truck driven by Bertholl was damaged on the grille and radiator, while the newer one driven by Ba- yard was damaged heavily at both ends.
 AS if this were not misfortune enough, wrecker summoned from the Martin Lynch Garage broke down on the way to town. It and the two California Grocery trucks had to be lowed to Juneau by the oil truck, making one of the longest tows seen here in many year.

Mutiny of Kings Shin Bounty

The English kings ship Bounty,
commanded by Captain Bligh, was
sent to Otaheite for breadfruit, and
on the return voyage the crew led
by Fletcher Christian. the masters
mate, mutinied. The rebels forced
Captain Bligh and 18 of the men
into a boat and set them adrift, but
they landed after time at a Dutch
settlement, and reached England.
The British government sent Cap
tain Edward Edwards to seize and
bring home the rebels, and II were
apprehended, but nine escaped. The
captives were tried by court-martial
and three were sentenced to death.
Twenty years afterward, in 1906, the
nine missing were heard of at Pit
cairn island, but only one, Alexan-
der Smith, alias John Adams, was
alive. He had become a religious
man, and was farmer, schoolmas-
ter, physician, and pastor to ITO
inhabitants of the island. He died
