PUBLIC LIBRARY

Telephone your wants to the Pub
lie Library. 1t is yours for informa-
ton and research. These are some
of the questions phoned in to your
library:
What have you on tulip culture?
When did the Spanish-American
war begin?
Have you crochet patterns?
Where is the region Of the Timber
lost?
When did Mrs. Wilson die?
What is sound?
How do you pronounce Ainse?
What is sharpnel?
What are the Leather stocking
tales?
Questions of correct spelling or
definitions are asked; or for some
thing light for one to read when the
body is i'll; material on different sub
jects is required at two o'clock when
one is coming down town at four. One
lady wished to know how to kill bur-
docks; another how to kill weeds in
general. One man wanted list of
industrial diseases; another copy
of the game laws; while third asked
for the addresses of schools of music
in Chicago.
These questions show the inquiring
upward tendency of the public to keep
In line with the days movement. They
want to know what the Library has
on self-reliance? What is the name
of the star which the comet passed
on October 26, and what is the name
of the comet? | am in need of book
on home nursing. What have you?
What knitting works has GAINESVILLE,
Wis? What was the poison that So
crates took?
Thus the things which are of in
terest to you are also of interest to
your neighbor, providing you know
about them; and wanting to know
about them shows that you are the
interested citizen and resident that
makes Redwood your city.
Let the Public Library come into
your life and your home and also
that of your neighbors.

TAXES AND GROWTH.

"AXES do not give the average
man much joy. He would rath-
er not have to pay them. But
taxes are necessary even if they dc
net inspire pleasure. If we do not
pay them, we have to pay in other
ways. If we do not pay for govern
ment we have to pay for anarchy,
and if we do not pay for education,
we have to pay for illiteracy. If
money is not provided for sanitation
and improved social and economic con-
Sitions, payment has to be made for
flth, restitution and misery. Doubt
less some taxes are unnecessary and
ssme others may be too high, but the
principle holds good that government,
law and order, progress and the pub
Tic veal, are possible only as money is
provided for that purpose. 1t may
be expensive, but it pays.
How often have you heard the old
folks say that the young people of
to-day live lot better than they did
at the same age. Sure they do, and
the old folks are living lot better
than their folks. This old world is get
ting to be better place to live in
every day, with the possible excep-
tom of Europe, where they have
gone crazy in desperate efforts to rob
one another of the benefits of peace
full living. The people of every
peaceful nation are progressing, and
progress that does not provide bet
ter living conditions is not real prog
ress at all. We know the people of
Minnesota are far better off intellec-
tually, morally, financially than at
any other period in our history We
know the average progressive farm
er is far better off, He is a better
business man, has better opportuni-
ties and enjoys more comforts than
his daddy did, and it is right that
he should. 1t is just as sensible that
the young farmer of today should
own an automobile as it was for his
daddy to own a top buggy or his
granddaddy to own a democrat wagon
which replaced the OK team and cart
of the previous generation. Comforts
and conveniences are the natural re-
wards of industry.-"Dad" Reid Of
the Renville Star Farmer

ON ITS WAY

"There is not shadow Of doubt
that woman suffrage is coming.
There is not shadow of doubt that
it will be in force in all the states,
sometime. But any matter that touch
es so nearly the individual interest
should be decided as nearly as pos
sible by the determination Of the in
dividual, and for that reason we be-
lieve the suffrage proposition is one
that should be settled in each state
by popular vote, instead of by the in
direct method Of congressional and
legislative action"
The above, from the biggest Demo
cratic paper in the state, "The Du-
luth Herald" will prove of interest
to the many suffrage workers as well
as the ants.

THE CROUCH
THE Great Creator in His wisdom
created many men of many

lTHE Great Creator in His wisdom
created many men of many
minds and teperaments know
ing thai if the sons of men were alike
in wishes and desires It would lead
to unending strife.
He created we'll, For man is the
roblest work of Col. But in some
way there crept into the world a
creature God did not create--a thing
self-made, be it male or female, that
is hated, despised and abhorred; a
thing self-created, self-pitied and alb
normally self-loved.
This self-created crea lure is the
chronic crouch that walks here and
there in every town and community
Searching for happiness-that he may
destroy it. Flowers and children, be-
cause they represent beauty and love,
he detests. He reads as he runs that
all men are liars and all women but
creatures of evil.
In summer he reviles the bright
sunshine and hates the green hills.
In winter he reviles the cleansing
snow and the purifying frost. The
bitterness. of gall and wormhood is
within his heart.
Children flee from him and his wife
can be classed among the martyrs.
Men shun him and the world hates
him. From an early age he walks
this earth spreading unhappiness and
maker of evil and discord.
Let US throw the X-ray of self
examination into our own hearts and
search out the little microbe that has
a tendency to multiply and produce,
in time, the hated Crouch There is
too much love and sunshine in this
old world of ours to spoil it with
the canker of selfshness.-Ol

THE FARMERS OPPORTUNITY

THIS is the farmers day. 1t only
remains for him to make the
= most of it. The demand for food
stuffs is his opportunity.
There is sound economic reason for
the present high levels of prices of
wheat and other grains. The various
official Investigations set on foot will
scarcely be able to blink the facts
that support the markets. Speculation
there is, no doubt, and this may have
some temporary influence on prices
one way or the other. But the up
ward trend of the past few months
has been caused by the steady de-
pletion of our surpluses to feed COM
batants and non-combatants in Eu-
rope.
If the Allies batter open the way
through the Dardanelles, it will let
out some Russian wheat, no doubt
Argentina's crop is also to be rec
koned with. There are other factors
that may influence the situation one
way or the other. He who speculates
must take his chances on these fac
tors. But nothing can prevent the
farmers from receiving high prices
for what grain they have remaining
nor should anything prevent it. The
farmer is entitled to his day.
What of the future? Doubtless, q
huge acreage of wheat and corn will
be planted by the time the seed is
all in. This is the natural effect Of
high-price levels, and is to be ex-
pected.
But what about livestock? Here is
wonderful opportunity for sound
profitable farming.
Eight years ago there were fifty
one million cattle in this Country, val.
ued at almost nine hundred million
dollars. A year ago we had less thar
thirty-nine million cattle, but theirval

CUSHING A TARGET
 FOR 3 AIR BOMBS
Tanker Arrives at Philadelphia and Skipper Tells of Ger
 man Attack.

Philadelphia May 2e.-Capt, Lar sen Herland brought his oil tanker Cushing into port here yesterday and told how, on April 28, a German aviator dropped bomb on the vessel as she flew the Stars and Stripes and damaged the deck and rail.
 Two other bombs previously thrown missed the Cushing entirely but ex- p1oded when they struck the water with a, noise like the report of 8. 4 inch gun Warned by these explo- sions the crew had sought shelter in forecast1e and hold and no one was injured by the bomb which did strike the tanker.
 The attack occurred while the Cushing was about twenty-five miles from Rotterdam and eight miles from the North Hinder nghtship- It was near o'clock in the evening, the captain said, but the sun hadr barely touched the horizon and there was ample light for the officers and crew to see every detail of the attack and also for the pilot of the biplane to see the words Gushing. New York, U. S., A.,'' painted on each side of the vessel in letters eight feet high and to note the Stars and Stripes at the masthead and the taffrail
 The Gushing upon reaching here to-day docked at the Atlantic Refining Company's plant at Point Breeze. In his formal report to J. c. Gabriel, agent for the company, Capt. Herland described the attack of the airship as a tdastardly act, a deliberate at- tempt to sink an unarmed vessel and murder the members of the crew ''
 A copy of the captains report will be forwarded to the State Depart ment.
 When the aeroplane which bonn barded the Cushing was first noted by the lookout it was several thousand feet in the air and coming apparently from the coast of England. The Ger man began to drop down as he ap- preached the ship and soon was only about 500 feet above the water. Suddenly the machine swooped down until it was only 300 or 400 enough to escape the rush of gas and superheated vapor from the l snokestack. Sharp cared members | of the crew, clustered in the stern, heard a missing sound and something F"plunked.'' as they expressed it, in the water just off the taffrail.
 A second later there was a tre- mendous explosion and a solid wave of water flooded the stern deck. The crew fled for the nearest hatchways and dived just as second bomb fell,
 missed the port quarter by a foot or so and dropped into the sea Then came the third bomb, which | just grazed the >starboard rail and shot f into the sea- Part of the explosion of this third bomb took place after | it struck the ocean and more water poured aboard the tanker. The air ship hovered around for a few min utes, then headed for the Dutch coast and disappeared.
