" OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS A sunny disposition is greatly to be desired, but we are in danger of losing ours when we note the size of the-Sunday . editions of some of the big eity daily papers. In view of the alarming shortage of print paper the 'size of some of these Sunday eglitions is profligate in their wasteful extravagance. Section after section is contained in them: ini which there is practically no element of news, but which ate principally made up of balderdash and modern pnk. : " Bach week it becomes increasingly difficult for the country press to secure enough- blank paper to print their limited editions ,and even that is sky high in price, . f: If the big dailies would use a little moderation the country editor ‘would not be driven to the point of desperation in his efforts to secure paper stock. i But the way of a hog is ever the same. It thinks only of self. . S e i i News dispatches indicate that a great influx of immigration is to be expected soon from foreign countries, and especially from some of the German states. We have plenty of room in this country for reput- able and law abiding citizens from any other coun- try, but our doors should be religiously closed to trouble makers of every description. We have too many of that breed here now for our own good. ! If some means could be provided whereby the American farmer could secure the necessary farm help from over the seas it would be a blessing. And since the average American girl has gradu- ated from other people’s kitchens, a hundred thou- gand strong and healthy domestics would be en- thusiastically received. - e : Many people have been urging the farmer on to greater production this season as a means of reduc- ing the cost of living. And there they stop. Apparently they do not take into consideration. the fact that the food speculator is in reality the one who:isrobbingthe poor ‘and filching the rich: PRESS COMMENTS—-THAT'S ALL (By BXCRANGE EDITOR) NOVONAN'S NOO NOONETTES. . Now we would like to know whether Ed. Rako, Beltrami’s representative, is still addicted to ton- nage tax. {0 The girls who used to worry about how their skirts hung haven’t much to worry about these days. Prohibition has taught some of the boys nothing except that wood alcohol is a mighty poor spring tonic. 3 It's a queer old hemisphere. Overalls are being worn by everybody except those who used to wear them to work. Sabbath Observance lads object to Sunday base- - ball. Spending the Sabbath afternoon in the open used to be a sin, but it isn’t any more. Frankson and Ellsworth are still in the governor- ship race.

[ by MINNESOTA ATHLETES OFF FOR PHILADELPHIA Minneapolis, April 28.—Seven Min- nesota athletes will board the train {onight for Philadelphia where the annual Penn relay meet will take place next Friday and Saturday. The men expected to make the journey into the east are Captain John Holt, B. F. Johnson, Arnold Oss, Frank McNally, Frank Kelly, Bob Fisher, Bill Hawker. They will be accom- panied by Len Frank, coach. The Gophers will' enter not only the mileé relay event but also the med- Jey relay. 1n the mile relay, the team willlikely be composed of Johnson, Kelly; Fisher and Oss. In event that ©Oss:will not be in good enough con- dition to run, Holt may be substitut- ed. .In the medley relay, Kelly and Johnson will run 220 yards each, Mc. mile. .

The farmer should not be asked to become: every- body's goat. » PN PIEY One of the principle table dishes today is the “spud.” This article is right up with the other food stuffs in price, but we in Northern Minnesota have the satisfaction of knowing that these spuds will come down in price. We know. too just when this will happen. All we have to do up here is to buy one, cut it up, leaving an eye in each piece, plant these pieces in our back yards and dig up enough next fall to last all winter and be: able to send a few to relntive: in the south for Christmas. . —_— Word has been sent out from Washington to the effect that there will soon be a favorable reaction in the Liberty bond market. Let us hope that this is not merely a statement put into circulation merely for the purpose of allaying public unrest. - People who have invested their meagre savings in govern- ment bonds are anything but jubilant over the fact that they can only be disposed of at a heavy sacri- fice. It is a poor incentive to patriotism. —————— The press is giving considerable space:to the tongue waggings of ambidexterous politicians, and unless this squawking ends suddenly the convention delegates May 8th will insist upon a “harmony candidate” for governor. And if a so-called har- ‘mony is chosen, the “old gang” will be utterly routed. 0 Many a man in this country longs for the day when all wars will be a thing of the past. Then he can slip home in the early hours of the morning without removing his shoes at the door. ——————— * Only four more years until we will be subjected to all of this candidating again. Surely our good forefathers wished a bunch of agony onto.us when | they framed the Constitution. " ——————— Man is the equal of woman in all things except wherein he is not her equal. And that, surely, is diplomatic enough to prevent even our wife from taking offense. s Here are two important extremes of life. A good reputation is hard to make and easy to lose, while a bad one is easy to make and hard to lose. : ; kel Students will find that overalls are not made to fit like the modern pants.
