CUTTING THE WEEDS

yVIHY have hay-fever melting. damp
w roads producing weeds along, the
highways and in the vacant places
of Redwood County? Right now is the time
to do away with them. A month from now
many of the seeds will have become planted,
making next years weed crop surety. Be
side, why wait month or even week WIN
the weed crop is a menace to the good health
of people and an eyesore to everyone driv-
ing through the county. Along several of
the most beautiful drives where the road
runs between well-tilled fields which are a
delight to all beholders, the weeds stand
waist high, disgrace to the farmer through
whose farm the road runs. And it is not
only in the country! A drive through Red
wood Falls, Lamberton, Walnut Grove even
Delhi and Vesta-will show the most casual
observer that there are many vacant lots,
which instead Of being the proverbial thing
of beauty and joy, are unsightly, mosquito
incubators, and monument to the laziness
of the Redwood County man. Let's have a
weed-cutting day and clean them all up.

THE LEISURE CLASS

IUST why country towns should be invaded
every summer by a rowing band OF
j gentlemen of leisure, is an unanswered
question. Just what is to be done to prevent
this invasion is an unsolved problem await
ing the careful thought of townsmen every
where throughout the country. Redwood
Falls is at present suffering her annual
scourge from this class, the number of un-
desirable transients fluctuating from day to
day, but always enough of them being pres
emit to make citizens fully aware of their
presence. Residence districts are popular
with these gentlemen at meal hours and they
have become skillful in evading those homes
where the cord wood pile looms large or the
lawn needs attention. Beautiful Redwood
Park has become infested so that girls and
children are warned not to walk there un-
attended. While no serious misdemeanor
has taken place, the possibility and danger
of it turks just behind, and will stand there
just as long as these knights of the road are
permitted to go and come at will. What is
the use in waiting for some other town or
some other county to work out this prob
lem so that we may adopt the solution? 1t
needs immediate and thorough investigation.
Now is the time. Whose is the duty?

THE HITCHING POSTS

MANY complaints have been recently ?4ai
posts is inadequate to meet the de-
mand Visitors have not complained of the
lack of hitching places on the business
streets, realizing that, from sanitary and
safe consideration, these streets are not the
proper places for horses. But they have
complained that the number Of suitable
places for tieing their teams is very INSULT
Gent, and this fact is the cause for some re-
sentiment among many of the very people
whom Redwood Falls is extremely anxious to
make feel welcome and at home. Telephone
poles should not be used for hitching posts
by the way, telephone poles have no real
right on the business streets either
certainly owners of horses are justified IN
using these or anything else as makeshift
tie places until suitable ones are provided.
One farmer rather aptly remarked in con-
versation with Redwood Falls merchant,
that in sending orders to mail-order houses,
no htching places were necessary. 1t might

THE DRY COUNTY

THE Dry County-We say fippantly, the
dry county right or wrong, but
A gentleman came in the other day

dry, the State would follow as soon as pos
sible, and for this reason. At the next leg
islature all the dried up country legislators
and the dusty Hennepin boys would appear

There they were, all dried up at home, and
here is st. Paul absolutely wallowing in mois-
ture They would go to work and dry up
the state inside of Is minutes. It's human
nature.
But things will never be as dry as they
might be, till the government at Washing
ton itself gets mad and prohibits the manu-
facture, importation andtransportation Then
you will see some real drouth and the moon
shine boys will get busy, and Uncle Sam will
take them on, together with the counterfeit

Misleading Statistics.

Democratic newspapers have been
citing a reduction in the number of
idle freight cars as an evidence of
business revival but now comes a
prominent railroad operator who is
quoted by the New York Times as
saying that the statistics are mis-
leading.
The idle cars Of the country" says
this railroad man, represent a re-
serve on which we are expected to
draw as business increases in volume.
1t is true that the railroads have from
month to month used more of the idle
cars. 1t should not be forgotten, how
ever, that these same railroads are
wearing out cars from month to
month and discarding them. In nor
NAL times these worn-out cars would
be Immediately replaced by new cars.
But the railroads are not buying their
normal supplies of equipment now
and the discarded freight cars are not
being replaced by new ones. In
stead, the roads are drawing on the
reserve supply Of idle cars and this
has reduced the surplus Of idle cars.
1T is wrong to assume that busi-
ness Is booming. The railroads are
standing still. at best. and that means
going backwards in the railroad busi-
course. in which business is picking
up. but the roads as whole are
meeting great disappointment. If
the boom does come, we will not be
ready to handle a rush. There will
not be enough cars to carry the
freight"
