Grows "Some'' Corn

ygFrank Jones brought to the
Gazette office last week a stalk
Of corn measuring twelve feet
from butt to tip. The corn was
grown on the Jones farm east
of town and there are many
stalks just as tall in the field
from which it was taken. The
roots were so long and so deep
" imbedded that two men found
it hard work to uproot the stalk.
Mr.. Jones believes the corn will
not mature before frost comes
and will use a large share of his
field for ensilage having just
erected a second large silo on
his farm. In this way he ex-
poets to get his winters feed
away in safety and insured
against all damage from frost.

Serious Injuries

Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley Hardy
were injured in a motorcycle &C
cident last Sunday, while return
ing from a visit at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Mahal, Mrs. Har-

control of Mr.. Hardy and turned
completely over. Mrs. Hardy was
thrown to the ground with such
force as to break her arm in two
places while Mr.. Hardy was bad
ly bruised and received slight
internal injuries. He was I'M

the accident. Passing motorists
brought the injured ones to town

Tennis
Players Meet
BeIVieW & Echo
Meets at Echo and at Redwood
Falls Give Games to Echo
and BelvieW Players

One match out of five played
is the best the local tennis ex-
perts could do when matched
against the racket wielders from
the neighboring boroughs of
Echo and Belview. Last We'd
nesday afternoon six of the To-
cal players drove to Echo and
were beaten five straight sets,
the scores for the respective
sets being, Aldrich-Homme 6, g.;
Inglis-Streissguth 3, A; Hughes
Richmond 6, 8; Baldwin-Russell
3, 6; Bergman-Sommerfeld 6;
Clements-Nelson l The day was
windy and not at all favorable
for the best tennis, but the play
was more even than the scores
would indicate, great majority
of the games running into deuce.
Friday, the hosts of Wednes-
day were received as guests on
the local courts, and were given
more lenient treatment than
that which they accorded our
men at Echo. Two matches were
played resulting in one victory
for the visitors and one for the
locals. Baldwin and Russell sue
cumbed to the superior playing
of Aldrich and Homme by scores
of 6-3, Ga but Inglis and Laudon
Jared better and took two out
of three sets from their oppo-
nents, Hughes, Richmond and
Aldrich by scores of 6, 4; 6, 8;
6, 4. Hughes was disabled in
the second set by the none too
gentle impact Of a tennis ball
upon his right binocular and re-
tired in favor of Aldrich. These
matches brought out the best
tennis seen on the local courts
this year and it is to be hoped
that the victors will find oppor-
tunity to repeat their visit.

Blossoms and Fruit

H. N. Bell brought to The Ga
zette last Wednesday, a cluster
of apple blossoms and a large
red-cheeked apple, plucked from
the same tree in his orchard
Wednesday morning. The bios
SONS were as pink-and-white
and fragrant as though it were
May l instead of September /,
and looked as though they need
ed only about three months of
present weather to mature into
perfect fruit. Mr.. Bell says
there are several such clusters
on the tree. It maybe Mime
sofa will produce a second apple
crop each year, thereby adding
another item to her list OF ac-
Movements as the greatest state

F. A. du PLessis Beaten
Insensible, Then Robbed
Renville County Man Victim of
Thugs at North Redwood
Saturday Night
SLEEPS IN BARN
Hit on Head with Blows Which
Bare Scalp Bones; Face
Badly Bruised

F. A. du Plessis was badly
beaten up by some person or
persons unknown, and his mon
ey taken at North Redwood last
Saturday night. Du Plessis, who
is an unmarried man living by
himself about three miles from
North Redwood, in Renville
County, decided to spend the
night in North Redwood and
went to sleep in the barn at the
Thomas Hosken home, with Mr..
Hosken's permission. About time
for the east-bound train, Mr..
Hosken was reused by crys, and
upon going to the barn, found
du Plessis insensible and with
severe wounds about the head
and face.
Later it was found that ten
dollars had been taken from du
Plessis person while he was in
an unconscious state, the first
blow from his assailant having
apparently rendered him insen-
sible. A piece of 2 by a scant-
ling about two feet long, smeared
with blood, was found in the
barn where the attack was made.
Persons who saw the injured
man just before he retired are
positive he had not been drink
ing. The wounds on the scalp
were bone deep, and the face OF
the victim bruised so badly that
both eyes were swollen shut.
There is no clue to the robbery
although transient was seen
lettering about with du Plessls
during the afternoon, and know
ing that he had money, it is be-
lieved he may have been the
culprit.

SanbOrn Defeats
Redwood Falls Boys
Contest Exciting from Start to
Finish; Sanborn Won,
5 tod

Last Sundays ball game be-
tween Sanborn and Redwood
Falls was won by Sanborn, the
score being 5 to 4. Up to the
eighth inning it looked as though
Redwood had an off day, but a
timely rally almost caused them
to win the game.
Hoge, who was on the mound
for Redwood, pitched a master
ly game, and had he received
reasonable support in the first
few innings, would have won the
game. He also bent the willow
for a home run, the only one
made during the game. Either
the locals were not batting the
pill as formerly, or it must have
looked very small to them.
In Sundays game there was
the usual amount of eloquence
embarrassed on account of poor
decisions by one of the umpires.
What Redwood Falls needs is a
first-class Jumps" Hoddie Jones
appears to fill the bill satisfac-
torily and should act in that ca
pacity.
The Scenic City Band was on
hand with its excellent playing
and deserved a rousing vote of
thanks for the good music and
the hearty cooperation with
which it assisted in making the
game a success financially.
Next Sunday the team will 60
to Walnut Grove and play the
fast aggregation of that town.

II viii doubtless be claimed b.

an absurd belief in states rights. that
the enactment OF such laws by con-
gress.is an unconstitutional extension
OF the powers OF the general govern

tion. II the supreme court shall de-
clare such a Law unconstitutional.
US amend the constitution 30 -
to permit such legislation.
My democracy Is defined by the
quotation that heads this article.
When the welfare Of the people can
be better conserved by federal
law than by state laws. 1 favor grant
ing the federal government the nee
essary power.
II is apparent that the laws under
discussion. TO be effective. must b
OF uniform operation in all the
states. and this could only be secured
by federal enactment.
II Is apparent to most Of Us that
means must be found to curb the
growth OF great fortunes. and TO in
crease the income Of the iaboring
class.
Increasing the daily wage will
improve the living conditions OF the
wage eArners and their families:
while shortening the hours. will add
to the number employed. This pro-
cess. carried TO It's logical conclu-'
sion. will eventually ieae no idle man
In the land. and will better the liv-
ing conditions OF all wage earners.
II Will also gradually reduce the In
come Of those who live upon divi-
dends and profits.
But II IL not panacea. Many
other measures are necessary before
visible results are attained. But In
their enactment let US keep In mind
that the greatest happiness Of the

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS.

'Prjestiy was the first tunless II
was BeccariaJ who taught my lips
u 6rolounce this sacred truth-that
tAe greatest happiness OF the great

Bentham.
The second proposition advanced
~ the Manly report is 'unemploy-
ment and denial OF opportunity TO
earn . living"
In former article, ] said that the
most vital present sociological prob
len ID the question OF wages. This
10 20 because the relative welfare Of
the great majority OF the people OF
every civilized country is determin-
ed by the amount Of wages they re-
ceive.
In . former article ! stated as
fundamental sociological laws:
First. that every man owes to socie-
~ the highest service OF which he Is
capable; and second. that society
owes 10 every man who yields such
services. the essentials OF welfare
for himself and for those dependent
upon him.
II this Is = correct statement OF
the Law which will eventually rule
In human affairs. Il will be realized
that the present system OF compen-
aating labor by differential scale
Of wages. is merely n step In the
evolution OF the law.
II We take a glance backward. we
must be assured, that while We may
be long way from sociological per-
fection in this matter. we yet have
made appreciable progress. II Is
. long way from the unpaid toilers OF
Egypt and the serfs and slaves OF
the middle ages. to even the poorest
paid laborer Of today.
Before ve all texcept the Social
ists) realize that these sociological
laws cannot be made Immediately
effective by legislative enactment:
that they must be woven into the
SOCIOLOGICAL fabric by the slow pro-
ceases Of evolution. ! hope however.
that We all (sociaiists inciudedD re-
alise that we are part OF the forces
Of evolution. with sufficient inteiii-
gsnee 10 observe and understand

their trend. and to add our efforts
TO their advancement.
II We have correctly stated the
law, II IL evident that there are .
multitude Of men who are not yield
ing 10. society the service they are
sble 70 reader. and are therefore
not entitjed 70 receive from society
the essentials Of comfortable hv-
ing. The losfer. rich or poor. comes
within this class. and ought 70 re-
ceiye nothing.
II is evident also that society owes
to no man. whatever his services may
be. more than the essentials OF com
Portable living. This means a vast
pairing down OF the income OF the
multi-miiiionaire. and high saiaried
man. and a considerable increase IN
the income Of the poorly paid labor
er. II also means vast change in
the customs and institutions OF So
ciety. For thar reason We have
said that II awaits the slow fruition
OF the processes OF evolution. But
the processes OF evolution are as ac-
tive now as they we're a thousand
years ago. or as they Will be thous-
and years hence. In this field they
consist OF customs slowly ripening
into Law. or Of legislative enact
ments having the consent Of majori-
ties. II follows logically that any
legislative enactment. gaining the
consent OF the majority. and having
the effect OF increasing the income
of the wage Garner. or betfering his
condition. may be considered econ
omically sound and a forward step
In the march Of evolution.
A national minimum wage and
maximum hour Law has been propos-
ed. II Is perfectly feasible TO say
by such a Law that no man shall
work for less than a certain sum. nor
more than certain number OF hours
per day. But there are certain con-
created by such Law that
must be considered.
So far as competition in the sale
OF his goods Is concerned. II can
make no difference to the manufact-
urer. what rate Of wages he pays. or
what hours his employees work. II
all his competitors are subject to the
same conditions. The enactment OF
n national law will ensure that all OF
his competitors. within the United
States. will be subject to the same
but will not protect him
against the competition OF other
where lower wages and
longer hours prevail. Il becomes
necessary therefore to levy 4 tariff
upon the manufactured goods Of ev-
cry nation. that does not enact and
enforce minimum wage. and maxi
mum hour Law. equivalent to ours.
