One Day
At A Time
(by Charles Stelzle)

Many of us are troubled because we are uncertain of what
may happen to us during the coming year and we declare that
we'd give anything to know what the new year will bring to us.
Suppose you could have your wish.
Suppose you knew everything that was going to happen to-
you tomorrow, what a fearfully stupid day it would be. And
think of a year of such days.
Suppose you knew all the charms of your friends wouldn't
they suddenly take a drop in your interest? It is because you
discover new things about them every day that holds them to
you.
Suppose you resolve never to engage in any occupation I'M
til you knew all its laws and principles of operation you'd never
make a start, because nobody knows all about them. And no one
ever will. f9#HVSIYRK
AS you Look back upon your life, you will see that most of
your errors were due to the fact that new conditions had devel-
oped that you did not know about. You had to learn about them
and you could make your discoveries only through experience.
And many of us learn through the mistakes we have made. Ex-
perience is one of lifes great teachers.
The world moves so fast that none of US can keep ahead of
est of us.
This is what makes life a great adventure. A life that holds
no surprises would be a very dull experience.
And so, let's face the new year with confidence.
Anyway here's a message that will give new hope and cour-
age for every day throughout the year:
The World Is Wide
I'm Time and Tide,
And-GOd is Guide
Then do not hurry.
That man is best
WI does his best,
And-leaves the rest
Then do not worry.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

DaiIv Journal, international Falls.
DR.. w. L. Strrlnk, recently appointed
conservation chief, is complete
stranger to us and to most MlnneSotanS'
90 we can't say just how keen sense
of humor he possesses. But there's no
DENYING he has one. An address ne
made before the New Ulm Izaak Wal
ton league last week proves that oe-
cisiyely. The good doctor, who Ger
tainlv must have been kidding our
southern neighbors, suggeSted-serlous-
" he insist+that southern Minnesota
ought to make its lakes (what lakesO
as popular as those Of the northern
section.
That will be neat trick-if it can
be done. But the job Atlas was given
when ordered to carry the world upon
his shoulders pales into inconsequence
when compared with the task OF max
ing the plains and mud puddles OF
southern Minnesota tourist paradise
We vision great armies of anglers from
Chicago, st. Louis, New Orleans, CleVe-
land and Milwaukee converging upon
the "great inland sea" which New ulm
is now building, building, mind you
We vision these anglers returning from
a soiourn into this enormous drop OF
water laden with gold fish and sardines
We vision fishermen holding up then
little fingers to show the size OF the
one that got away.
And what adventure, what fores1
thrills there will be for mixers needing
their way through corn fields and ar
occasional clump of scrub oak. Ano
the wild life, ah, the wild life! WHO
knows what awesome and regal ruler:
of the forest the wanderer will en-
counter on the shores of the New Uln
pool. A poodle dog quietly and stealth
lily tapping his fill in the neon-ightee
dusk; stray cat cautiously testing tht
temperature of the water before jump
ing over the lake.
Yes, southern Minnesota-where tht
temperature climbs to about ITO during
July and August-is a perfect place tt
send your worst enemy for his vacation
But, we venture to say, Lake Kabetog'
anna, Rainy and Lake of the Woods viii
still get few visitors despite all tht
appeal and beauty of southern pools.

Automobile Traps
Big Buck Deer.

Brooten-Gilman Thorsrud's auto
mobile and a three-year- buck deer
entangled recently as Thorsrud drove
cautiously over nearby road on which
he had often seen these fleet-footed
animals dart from the woods. The
bucks antlers became caught between
the bumper and the radiator in such
manner as to act as trap. AS Mr..
Thorsrud brought his car to a halt
the buck beat a furious tattoo with
piston-like movements of his front legs
in an effort to free himself. Putting
the gears in reverse and backing up
slowly gave the animal his freedom.
He bounded quickly and disappeared
like flash into the woods.

Busiest City Is Nations Safest

By NEA Service
 Traffic in Cleveland, sixth largest U. s. city, is the most congested in the country, yet the Ohio me- tropolis holds undisputed the title, Safest Large City in the Nation"
 Cleveland counts POS commercial and pleasure vehicles to every mile of her street system, while New York and Chicago have but 152 and 162, respectively. These figures were released by the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce.
 In New York and Chicago, where cars swarm to central business dis tricts, streets are more crowded, but traffic moves faster and con- gestion is relieved.
 Wider streets, more arterial and express highways, and fewer re- stricting traffic lights are antidotes for congestion in U. s. cities where vehicular travel is heaviest.
