Good for Redwood.

Redwood Falls is place that does
things. Note the armory and the
State Park.
It was the first city in the state to
be chosen for the erection of an ar
mory under the new law
There is not another city of the
size in the state that has secured so
large an appropriation for public
park.
These things are possible be-
cause Redwood has citizens who are
public spirited, who are willing to
sacrifice themselves for the general
attainment, who realize that indiv-
idual prosperity depends upon ag-
gregate advance, who would boom
the town even at personal cost.
This is the spirit that makes a
great town: Individual sacrifice and
united effort.
Redwood has both.
In addition it has more than its
share of big men, men who are
known throughout the state.
There are other things Redwood
needs. A hospital. forinstance, and
the time will soon be ripe for active
work along this line.
But whatever the project, once it
becomes evident the thing is really
needed, we shall see hearty cooper
alton all along the line and ultimate
success.

You are Wrong, Me-. Bjornson.

you are wrong, MT. DJOTnSOH.
G. B. Bjornson, editor of the
Minneota Mascot is, in the opinion
of the Gazette, one Of the ablest
editors in the Seventh district.
He is clear thinker, a good writer
a man of influence and he is fair.
Still he is a Volstead supporter.
In this connection it would be we'll
to know that Mr.. Bjornson is post
master at Mlnneota.
The Gazette is not impressed with
Mr.. Volstead's record as congress
man. The Tracy Headlight seems
to be in about the same position.
Both the Headlight and Mr.. Bjorn-
son are wrong in assuming that we
are opposing Volstead because Of
his position on the reciprocity bill
just passed.
On that point we believe him to
have been entirely right. In our
opinion the bill is vicious, unjust,
unrepublican and only second in
RIGHTEOUSNESS to the Payne-Aldrich
tariff outrage.
Having set this matter right it is
evident that our opposition to Vol
stead does not eminate from any
metropolitan influence" as Mr..
Bjornson suggested.
Here is the crux Of the whole mat
ter: we want congressman.
In state politics the Seventh dist
riot is and has been dominant. 1t
has big men molding the future of
the commonwealth.
The Seventh has over &c, 900 voters
vast majority of whom are wealthy
farmers, the best citizens in the
world.
They deserve and they have right
to demand an aggressive, dominant.
forceful congressman.
The standard of the Minnesota del
egation in congress should be raised.
The Seventh should lead in this up
ward movement because it is best
supplied with big, dominant men.
This is the secret of the whole mat
ter.
We know there are several coun-
ties in the districts not at all i'm
pressed with Mr.. Volstead's work as
a congressman.
Who should enter the lists against
him we do not think this is proper
time to say but
The Seventh needs representation
and the Seventh must have it.

Lies Mirror.

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits
brave,
There are souls that pure and true;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your life will flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and a score of hearts will show
Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth, and your gift will be paid in
kind,
And honor will honor meet;
And a smile that is sweet will surely find
A smile that is just as sweet
For life is the mirror of king and slave;
IT'S just what we are and do;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best will come back to you.

your ads? Fine fun. isn't it? 1t is
fun to be in business anyhow-fun
to have the landlord come for the
rent screaming fun to have to send
a check for all those funny bills that
come in regularly every month and
simply irresistible fun to have to
buy bread and butter fer the family
and plan for the future of the chill
dren. Yes, Mr.. Retailer, it is fun
perhaps.
You know from bitter experience
that there is nothing funny about
business. You do not pay your bills
from any sense of humor and neither
do people give you credit from the
same cause. There is little fun in
paying the wages of a first class
salesman who has to assist you in
making money to pay your creditors
and allow you to tuck small sum
snugly away in your bank against a
rainy day. 1t is all solemn, deadly
reality. 1t requires all the thought
and sales help of the highest grade
you can get at a reasonable price to
carry through the daily tragedy.
SALESMANSHIP NECESSARY.
Why should you think it fun to
write your ads? Do you realize that
it is just as necessary to have sales
manship outside your store as it is
to have it in it if you wish to be sue
cessful? And if you are anxious to
increase your business to the point
wherei it will be cIassed as amongst
the best producers of the kind, you
will find that outside" salesman
ship of the finest order issabsolutely
necessary.
Outside craftsmanship means adj
vertising that brings business. In
this category you must put your
newspaper advertising-that is TO
say, you put your newspaper adver-
Using in that class if it produces re-
suits. 1t is this production of
results that makes all the difference.
Only advertising space that contains
real craftsmanship will get real re-
turns. And the construction of that
craftsmanship makes all the difference
between success and failure.
AID WRITING SCIENCE.
The writing of successful adver-
Using is an art or science like photo
graphy or medicine. 1t cannot be
used successfully by any one who
has not studied it as closely as any
other art or science. The man who,
therefore, tries to practice it for fun
is only wasting his money and time.
You would rot allow an unframed
clerk or amateur to come into your
store and sell your finest goods to
your best customer. And you would
call anyone else who was guilty of
such foolishness, bad merchant.
Further, you would not expect a
clerk whom you had engaged to sell
groceries. to compound prescriptions
or repair watches. 1t is just the
same with advertising craftsmanship.
Unless you know the rules of the
business you cannot successfully
write ads that are absolutely sure to
bring customers into your store and
money into your cash drawer.

That's all there is to it. Easy, isn't
it?
WELL DEFINED RULES.
There are we'll defined rules for
doing all this but those rules have to
be learned. After those rules have
been acquired, you must apply psy.

The cities clamored for it and the
cities have it.
Now what are they going to do
with it?
1t may not be logical to carry a
national question into state politics
but as sure as fate it will play a part
in the campaign next fall.
And in the presidential mix-up
this great old Republican state may
surprise 'em by getting up on its
hind legs and paving around some
Right here in Redwood the pre-
diction is freely made that the Re-
publican party, in case Canada meets
the agreement, will have the fight
of it's life to hold Minnesota in line.
There are some reasons for looking
upon this prediction as wise.
Attorney General Simpson, stran-
gely enough, has been reversed by
the state supreme court. The dist
riot court. ordered the Creamery
Package company to stop doing bus
mess in the state. Simpson said go
ahead. In a recent decision the
supreme court declared the COM
pany to be trust in restraint of
trade. 1t is true that Mr.. Simpsons
attention was called to the condition
of business so far as the Creamery
company was concerned during the
campaign a year ago. He was
afraid to act, being by constitution
and mind a side-stepper. Now the
supreme court of the state has
handed him one that will jar his pol
itical hopes and reflect upon his legal
attainments.
O. P. B. Jacobson, editor of the
Ugeblad of Fergus Falls, has re-
ceived his reward. He has been
made member of the board of grain
appeals, position for which he is
doubtless fitted and to which he was
doubtless entitled.
This recalls an interesting incident
in his career:
Not quite a year ago he was at
Republican headquarters in St. Paul
and upon the occasion of that visit
told representative Of the Dispatch
with whom the present writer hap
pened to be on terms of familiarity,
that he had not decided what course
to take in the gubernatorial matter.
1t didn't take him long to make up
his mind, however, because when
the report appeared in the Dispatch
he wrote in to say he was support
ing Governor Eberhart. jacobson
is a county optionist.
Now he is member of the state
grain appeal board. Such are the
ways Of politics.
| An increase in the gross earnings
tax on the advice of the astute at
torney general Was headed off last
winter because it might hurt the
rate cases!
Of course there were other reasons
for the defeat of the Spooner bill
some of which will be given to the
public in due time.
At any rate because it was de-
feated and because the roads have
foolishly returned to the three cent
rate, an extra session Of the legis-
lature is being demanded and the
demand may become too insistent to
be ignored.
Such session would increase the
tax to 5 or possibly 6 per cent. This
would mean at least a million more
! q year to the state.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1911-08-01

Of course there is some politics
back Of this demand but on the
whole it looks reasonable and if the
legislature were to confine its atten-
ton to the tax business exclusively
Governor Eberhart might not suf-
fer. Otherwise?
Along this line, L, c. Spooner
writing to the Herald of Duluth
says:
