AND HIS NAME IS

THERE is one man on the board of di-
rectors of the Redwood County Ag-
ricultural Society who has never
been handed what he has justly coming to
him. On more than one occasion The Ga
Zette has carelesSly omitted his name en-
tirely from the list of among those pres
ent" when there was heaps and heaps OF
work to do incidentally this omission
on our part brought down on our head the
terrible wrath of the president of the As
ISOLATION, so we reaped TIE dire fruits OF
carelessness.) Then again, this man whose
work we have watched with such keen adj
iniration in all those strenuous days be-
fore the recent fair, is not an officer and
his name is untitled in the list of those
who are serving the Association. But he's
there! And he is most there where the
work is thickest and most urgent, doing
the thing that needs to be done with dis
patch and effective energy. AS chairman
of the committee on advertising, he worked
for weeks before the fair, and under his
leadership the Redwood County Fair has
been the most widely and best advertised
of any similar event in the state. But he
didn't stop with doing this one particular
thing that had been especially assigned
to him; he took hold of all the numberless
preliminaries, did his share and little
bit of several other peoples in attending
to all the last details, each small in itself
and big in the aggregate. This man is
not only a big man at fair time he has a.
way of putting things over all through
the year and as result ne is given con-
slant opportunities (?) to show just what
he can do. He starts dozens of things
which make for the good of the town and
the community, and anything he starts
always goes through He's human and
has a fault or two like every other one of
us. But he makes many real sacrifice
for his old home town and is an all round
good citizen for a town to have. In case
you haven't recognized him before this,
we don't mind telling you that his initials
are F. G. Hubbard.

TELL IT TO THEM.

HONESTLY now, wasn't it corking
n good fair and aren't you just as
= proud as you can be of board OF
directors that can put across so big an
event with so little friction, and SO few
unpleasant features? After all, the sue
cess was not entirely matter of weather
by any means, although, we are willing
to admit that the old weather man kept
all the cubs of his staff off the job and
stood manfully by the wheel himself for
the entire four days. But no amount OF
sunshine would have taken the place Of
the efficient team work Of the Big Nine.
They were all on the job and the public
benefited thereby. If you haven't told
them what an altogether splendid bunch
they are we would suggest that you do it
at once. Don't tell them the things you
don't like-they are trained by past ex-
perience to look for those things in order
to improve upon them next year, and they
are heap wiser, as we have personally
discovered, than any Of us wise slde-llners
who think we could tell them just how a
fair should be run. And don't tell them
all the improvements that should be made !;
remember that the splendid buildings,
grounds and track of which the county is SO
Justly proud, are practically the work OF
the past four years. That is a remark
able showing for the time and there IS no
need of becoming impatient all those
other things we want are going to come
in the due course Of time. And beside
these men who are putting SO much time
and energy and neglecting their personal
interests to such a large extent are even
more interested than we are in seeing that
all these things come to pass. So why harp
ON them? If there is anything you don't
like the time to tell it is at the annual
meeting of the Associations and we are
willing to bet dollars against hole in a
pretzel that you won't even take the trou-
BILE to attend But right now, when every
member of the Board of Directors is tired
from overwork and wonders just why he
is doing this thing anyway-right now, we
reiterate, is the time to give them the UNI
stinted and straightforward praise which
they so justly deserve. Of course you will
do exactly as you please about this thing
but we think our own way is very nice
way.

THE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE.

WE will freely and frankly confess
M that we know but very little about
the Nonpartison League, but that
little we do know is certainly not to its
credit. It appears to us that the League
officials preach doctrine of unrest and
suspicion, and are prone to set one class
Of men against another class of men. This
is not only wrong fundamentally, but 1T
is also un-American. Any agitator who
strives to arouse class hatred and class
suspicion is doing his country an injury
and an injustice And you can bet your
last cent that these agitators are not
actuated by the highest motives, but ARE
looking forward to lining their wallets
with greenbacks wrested from the unsus-
picious.- Sired Hadley.

SEND IT TO THEM.

0F course we shall send those men the
I tobacco they ask for. If they can
find comfort in roll of the weed
as they stand in the mud amid the stencil
of the trenches they shall have it. If a
wounded man can find solace in the pipe
between his teeth while he waits for the
ambulance and the surgeon it snail be
forthcoming. Let's stop talking OF tobac-
co as if it were on a level with the i'm
moral joints and the drunken dives we
have attempted to drive off the TANKS OF
our armies. The tobacco habit isn't I'M
moral, but merely foolish; and II the
trenches and under the strain of war per-
haps it isn't even foolish. Certainly we
shall send the men afield the tobacco they
crave. We shall do all that may be done
for the comfort Of the fighting men. -

Testimony


No one in Redwood Falls who suf-
fers backache, headaches, or annoy
ing bladder ills can afford to ignore
this Sleepy Eye woman's twice-told
story. It is confirmed testimony that
no Redwood Falls resident can doubt.

Sleepy Eye. Mimi, says: "From child
hood had sick headaches and of late
years my back bothered me consider
ably. If I did any work that made
me stoop over the pain in my back
was almost unbearable. / had dizzy
spells, too, and from these ailments
I had reason to believe that my kid
neys needed attention. Doan's Kid
ney Pills soon gave relief. My back
got much better and | was rid OF the
headaches and dizzy spells"

The court Of criminal appeals has
declared the local option pool hall
law unconstitutional. This law was
declared unconstitutional BY the state
supreme court moro than q year ago
and this fact was the cause Of the
conflict in authority between the two
higher courts Of the state. This latest
decision. however. by the criminal
appeals court has brought them back
into harmony. The effect of the de-
cision is that the people Of town or
city have no right to vote on the ques-
ton OF pool halls or no pool halls.
