MINNESOTA’S CAMPAIGN A tremendous campaign is being waged in Minnesota by the Republicans, intent on the one hand of defeating Magnus Johnson for Senator and on the other keeping the position of chief executive from the hands of the farmer- Jubor group. Thomas D. Schall, opponent of Magnus, and Yheocore Christianson, the nominee for Governor, are wag- ing strong fights, with the prediction being made that both will succeed. Th standing issue in Minnesota is public ownership The Republican platform is explicit on this policy. It say: “The Republican Party stands now, as always, against all attempts to put the government into business.” The Farmer-Labor Party, on the other hand, in its con- vention at St. Cloud, declared for public ownership of rail- nd publie utili stockyards, grain elevators, term- ses, and of such natural resources as coal, mineral deposits, water powers and timber. The Minneapolis Journal says: “Theodore Christianson and his associates on the Republican ticket stand squarely on their platform. Floyd B. Olson and his associates on the Farmer-Labor ticket have taken their position, some- whi sluctantly, but in the end positively on the St. Cloud tform. They have been formally endorsed by the Social- nd Communist organizations. Thus the issue has been Public ownership has made little progress in Minnesota, but cooperative ownership, especially of creameries, has zttained marked success there. The proponents of the Re- publican position will admit of no compromise and are sat- istied of victory. The result in Minnesota will be watched with great inter A STRAINED CONSTRUCTION cnuator LaFollette, analyzing the depression of three yea go in a recent speech, charged that “Big Business” nw -deliherately sought about to bring on panic. The Senator painted an appalling picture of bankrupted farmers, banks Closed, millions out of employment. All this, he charged, was brought about deliberately. lt “Big Busine: responsible for the situation it acted in strange manner. The monied men ruined their best custome:s. They rendered their own money idle be- cause it could not find profitable investment. They re- duced the value of their own holdings. The business men whon: Senator LaFollette charged with doing all of this nefarious work profit by national prosperity. Their wealth increases when the mills are busy, the farmers and workers prosperous and able to buy the things they want. If the money-changers referred to by the Senator were responsible ‘for the situation he pictured they were bigger fools than they ever have been accused before of being. H THE FURNACE About time to start the furnace. Insurance people ask us to pass this word along: Eighteen million dollars of pro- peity is destroyed every fall in America by fires resulting ‘afrom defective flues and clogged chimne Two things can be done. The best is to hire an expert to clean the vents. Second-best bet is to burn a piece of zinc in the furnace. It helps clean out the soot. So does an occa- sional tin can or potato peelings. se * An enormous amount is the 200 million dollar loan, under the Dawes plan, expected to prop Germany on her financial feet again. Americans lose more than twice as much every year, by fi Fully three-fourths of fires are preventable. Be sure ciguret and cigar butts are extinguished. Don’t leave oily rags around, except in tin cans with lids. They may start fires. And teach the children that the match is the most ‘dangerous device ever invented. * * + The world now spends 200 million dollars a year for matches. Careless handling of matches starts many fires. The worst form of this carelessness is throwing a glowing <-match from a railroad car window. Countless forest fires “start that way. ». “Hf people would b camp fires, the fores ~ These fires are depleting our forests.

NTEREST Big wars are always financed on a 5 per cent interest basis, an economist announces, lifting his tired head from the history of several centuries. And always, he finds, the return to normal peacetime conditions brings a gradual low- ering of interest rates, stabilizing finally around 3 per cent. That’s happening now, history repeating. The day of cheap money is returning—for government, and probably * for businesses and individual borrowers.

Only the rich could | really afford them. But poor women, delighted with the ‘usefulness of pins, bought them with money intended to run ‘the household. So a law was passed, allowing makers to sell {pins only on Jan. 1 and 2. Women saved up for these days ‘the rest of the year. So we have the phrase,.“pin money,” its meaning altered by time. } * * * Other interesting origins are recounted by Lillian Kichler |in her new book, “The Customs of Mankind.” | The barber’s red-and-white-striped pole dates back to jdays when the barber performed minor surgical operations, j including “blocd letting.” He kept his white bandages hang- | ing ona pole. Finally, as an ad, he put the red-white-striped jpole in front of his shop to symbolize blood-soaked band- ‘ages. a ” | : CEO i Tipping also started with barbers. For bleeding and ‘other small surgical ‘services they had no set charges, but !left payment to the customer. In England others took up ithe custom. Soon a box appeared in taverns with a sign, “To Insure Promptness.” The initials: T-I-P, tip. * * ® { “Windfall” means good luck. It started neary 1000 year jago when William the Conqueror made it a criminal of- | fense for English peasants to cut forest timber. They could | have only what the wind blew down. A big storm brought i * * a lucky haul of wood—a windfall. ee ow Ancient Chinese tortured prisoners by tickling the naked soles of their feet with straws. So started the expression, “tickled to death.” " The situation has not changed since it was recorded in i Reclesiastes: “That which hath been is the same which will be; and that which hath been done is the same which will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun.” As for Lillian Eichler’s book, it is the latest of the chairt ; started by H. G. Wells’ “Outline of History.” And it is de- cidedly more interesting. As for importance, it is debatable whether the history of wars and political movements is as consequential as an understanding of the origins of customs, games, manners, fashions and superstitions. The kiss, an occidental invention, has had more influence than all rulers and armies combined. : * * New York, Oct. 29—Walter Dam-|his hand.

If they do, picture yourself swinging a baton for 24,000 hours, The New York Symphony was founded by Damrosch’s father, Leo- \pold Damroseh, in 1878. It visited Europe in 1920, playing in France, Italy, Belgium, Holland and England. It will go to Cuba next January upon invitation of the government. Damrosch in his 40 years with the orchestra has traveled 400,000 miles. In that time his organization has played to eight million people.

I shall vote this way for the reason that State Fire Marshall Reade has pronounced the present building a a fire trap of the worst kind. I shall vote “yes” for the reason that on two different occasions the Pub- lie Examiner of the state has filed the following report: “Your examiner feels in duty bound to call attention to the inadequate protection of the- important records against fire hazard, the vaults, excepting the one of the County Auditor, be- ing too small, poorly construct- ed and antiquated, and not of sufficient space to admit of a proper system of filing for ready reference, a condition which is getting more serious from day to day and which must be met, sooner or later. The building itself is entirely too small, poorly constructed, out of date, poorly, lighted and venti- lated, and seemingly not fit for human occupancy, from @ san- itary. standpoint, to say nothing of the comfort of the public or expediting the transaction of business with them owing to the lack of counter and lobby space.” ee The records of a county are too ry | « vital to every man, woman and chilg to longer expose them to this haz- ’ ard. The loss ‘of the title records of the register of deeds, clerk of court, treasurer and county court would’ be something that no amount of money could replace. I shall vote “yes” not on account of the building being unsanitary, which if is, not on account of the officers being obliged to work in ill lighted rooms, with lack of spac and ventilation, which is a fact, but on the single ground that it is poor business to run the risk of having our records swept away by fire, as they are liable to be. If the offi- cers do not wish to work under thd present conditions, they can step out; there is no law that compels them to tarry a single day in their present quarters. But I am inter- ested in the public records, which the law compels to be kept in the present building. No business man on earth would keep his personal matters in vaults like the county of Burleigh affords its citizens. In my judgment the commission-, ers are to be commended in placing the matter on the ballot. If you wish the present inadequate and flimsy vauts to house your titles, vote against a new court house; if you think you are interested in ~ having your records preserved, vote for the proposition., I regard it as a business matter pure and simple.
