The law putting q ban on weeds

If Ragweed interfered with the

REDWOOD'S RAGWEED

THE Scenic City, in spite of its
great beauty is guilty of har-
- boring one of the greatest
pests in Minnesota, namely, Ragweed.
Ragweed is not particular about
conditions or environment. 1t grows
luxuriously either in loan, on clay
hill, or in brick pile.
The only thing Ragweed asks is to
be let alone-and Redwood has more
than complied with this request.
Every year, during the late summer
and early autumn-just the time
when humanity should be most fit to
enjoy all nature, hundreds of Mime
sofa citizens suffer, and suffer acute
ly, from hay fever.
There are many things that cause
hay fever and help it in it's devasta-
lions after it is once started. Not the
least of these is the insignificant, ap-
parently unworthy-of-notice Ragweed.

TODAY's WORRIES ARE JOKES

iTHE worries Of today are the jokes
! past life. What are the Incl
= of tomorrow. Look over your
dents that you find funny now? Ev-
cry one of them was a worry at the
time it happened. You laugh as you
look back at past worries. Well, why
not laugh at the worries of today and
tomorrow as well?
Worry doesn't get you anything or
anywhere. There's no use worrying
about things that are past. What
ever has happened is right or it would
not have happened. The whole great
universe is run in harmony. Don't be
conceited enough to suppose that any,
thing you have done is out of harmony
with the universe. If it was, the
whole world would soon get out of
kilter.
Theirs no use worrying, either, a
bout what's going to happen. Nobody
knows that. Remember, too, the
worst never happens. And why
worry now? You either can help or
can't help what you are worrying a.
bouts If you can help it, go ahead
and do it and stop worrying. If you
can't help it, what good does worrying
do?
"But," you say, 81 just can't help
worrying" How absurd! Of course
you can. Try this plan. Sit down
calmly and ask yourself what is the
very worst result that can come from
your present trouble? Look it in the
face boldly. Square your shoulders
and say to yourself: "Well, if that's
all, / can face that. Lots of worse
things have happened to millions of
other people and they have survived.
guess / can"
Most worries are over mere trlf1eS.
Probably George Washington's wife
used to worry when he got home late
for dinner, but what difference does it
make to either of them now?
Get worry book. Put down in it
today everything that worries you.
Look at it week from today. How
many of the things you are worrying
about will happen?. The longer you
keep a worry book, the shorter will
grow the entries.-American Maya
zine.

THE ART OF WALKING

w TALKING seems to be a lost art
w with US;
One will often meet large
companies abroad that have come out
for walk of hundred or perhaps
several hundreds of miles. Not fire.
quently in Scotland, one will see con-
siderable parties out walking in the
rain. There is national walkers as
ISOLATION in Germany, and a local
walkers club in nearly every town
and city, but walking is not regarded
as either recreation or exercise in Am
erica.
Walking is the only way that one
can ever come to really know .coun-
try,.its products and its people.
The best books of travel that have
ever been written have been views
afoot. 1t is almost the only way to
cultivate love for nature in her var
led moods.
In Germany they are getting up a
series of guides for walking parties
that cover every section of the coun-
try.
There are few, if any parts of this
country, that do not have many points
of interest within a radius of ten
miles, yet few of them are known by
the jewellers of the countryside.
Country people are apt to regard
travel as one great opportunity of
life, but they do not realize that the
best preparation and equivalent for
travel as the one great opportunity Of
locality.
j If one has not learned to know that
and has not acquired the power of alb
servation a trip through Europe vii
not teach him much, for, as Emerson
says, that person who has learned tt
observe the significant things will SEA
more that is worth seeing in trip t.
the country town than another would
in trip through Europe.
Walking is the most fundamental
means of overcoming country isola
ton.
1t requires no expensive equipment

or preparation.
It is within the possibilities of all
who are not crippled.
1t is healthful and productive of in
innate knowledge and inspiration.
The ability to walk gives great
sense of independence, because with it
one can go and come as he pleases.
1t is not really much of task for
one who is leading vigorous life to
walk twenty miles a day. The farm
er follows the pillow and the drag at
least so far during considerable part
of the year. The well developed coun-
try girl would not mind the walk if
she only got the idea Of taking it, but
she probably will not do it by herself,

There are many varieties of bully
but the bully with the capital B is tn,

Punishment is never and has never
been in any sense corrective. In the
average case it is simply matter Of
getting even, misapplied vengeance
that relieves the bad temper of the
punisher-and tends to harden anc
embitter the punished.

We have progressed since the days

out the pale of the humanitarian.
Bullying is an acknowledgment that
the perpetrator is without self-control
and is the epitome of the british in
stinct in man.
The press of the nation tells daily
stories of children misused, beaten
and bruised, sometimes murdered be-
cause the one in charge was beast
of the lowest order. Countless other
tales are never told; numberless un-

There is no more common crime in

to the fact that taxes are altogether
