PAGE SIX THE ‘TWENTIETH C H CENTURY’ LIMITED Might Take a Chance. Now that Burleson is safely out of the post office administration, we suggest that it might be safe for senators and representatives to again send out free seeds each year, with-| out having to worrk especially about .them sprouting on the way. En Route— What Rain Will Do. Lost, Strayed or Stolen—One doc- tor and one merchant, homeward bound to their cottage on the east | side of Lake Bemidji. And it seems that each was look- ing for the other, mlthough they | ‘both left Bemidji-in their autos at| the same time, one follovfing direct- 1y behind the other for some time. We can hardly figure out what the trouble might have been, but those who are curious might ask Dr. Dan- nenberg or Don Whitman. We know it was a dark and rainy night. { —Love’s Young Dream— Why Pick on the Kids?

Correspondents want to see W. P. G. Harding, governor of the federal reserve board. Harding declared that retail, price reductions had in many | cases not kept pace with those ot! raw materials. He cited the case of a . |retailer who made 150 per cent on A Legionnaire In Action. (With apologies to Coamander Cul- ver and Fred Bost.) 1t might also be called ‘‘each Le- gion member’s idea of the otrer while he has the floor.” This time This Year. This is the time of tne year when the hired man geix out intc the fieid | at 7 a. m. and ‘tiie farmer wants ty know where he has heen uli the fore- | noon. That reminds us of the farmer who told his hired man at 3 a. m. to take a lantern and go out to the field to cut oats, and the hired man wanted to know if they were wild| ‘oats, and if they had to sneak up on them in the dark. —Wouldn’t That Get You— Comparison Only. “As - You Like It” says that the| Manit;ba mosquito is a good deal| like a gossipy grandma. He wants| to stick his nose into everything. Evidently the Maritoba mosquito greatly resembles the Bemidji mos-| dry goods after the jobber’s price was reduced. The same correspondent went to see Attorney General Daugrerty who made similar statements. “Those shoes,” said Daugherty, *1 paid $17.50 for a pair like that last year. A similar pair cost $12.50 this year, but with the present price of Ifides, the retailer must easily have made more on this pair than the $17.- 50 pair.” Assistant Attorney General 'Goff hen said he bought a hat for $15 in 'w York last year. “F got one just like it for $6 this year,” he paid. ““The (baler ex|- plained he couldn’t get $15 for them. “That’s it,” Daugherty said. “Tliree housewives with powers for positive | conversation can do more to convince a retailer he should reduce prices than this whole department.” HIGH SCHOOLS COMPETE IN INTERSCHOLASTIC CONTEST Fargo, May 13.—North Dakota and quito, except that the Bemidji mos- quito isn’t always satisfied with just| sticking his nose in. | —Only Too True— | Thrust Upon Them. | It is sdid that some young men (when real young) are born with| black eyes.
