WHAT OTHERS SAY|

Long Prairie Leader-Rome was the
greatest empire in ancient times. Per-
haps at the height of its glory it was
the most powerful empire the world
has seen. But it fell with thud that
still echoes through the school books.
The historian Gibbon, gives the fol-
lowing reasons why Rome fell
THE rapid increase of divorce; the
undermining of the dignity and sane
tity of the home, which is the basis of
human society.
Higher and higher taxes and the
spending of public monies for bread
and circuses.
1.-The mad craze for pleasure; sport
becoming every year more exciting and
more brutal.
1.-THE building of gigantic ornaments,
when the real enemy was within, in
the decadence of the people.
"The decay of religious faith fading
into mere form, losing with life and
becoming impotent to guide it."

Dog Travels Eighty
Miles to Old Home

Red Wing-Cannon Falls has real
booster story in telling the tale of a
little dog who had been an inhabitant
of the town for several years. Recently

with them. Not so long after the
move the dog appeared back at the
Nick Bever market which his master
had formerly operated. A distance of
80 miles meant nothing to him to re-
turn to a good town!
