The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1917-04-25

During the rush Of the closing of leg
islature the Ramsey Park appropriation
was dug, by frantic work on the part Of
Representatives A. J. Praxel of LANDER
ton and T. Christianson Of Dawson, from
the potters field of supposed oblivion where
it had been buried by bit Of msmanaga-
ment. From prominent members of both
House and Senate appropriations commit

Gus fight of these two men against ap-
parently hopeless odds. May honor and
gratitude be shown them by every lover
Of Ramsey.

Some of these people who claim they
are having war arguments constantly
thrust upon them remind us of little
kid whose mother recently took him to
task for fighting again" In response to
her somewhat heated remarks said kid
assumed a look Of injured innocence and
said, "Well, ma; it seems as though all the
kids out lookin' for trouble alters manage
to bump into me" War talk is all right
but nix on the argufyin

We are glad to fight thus for the ulti-
mate peace of the world and for the iber-
alton of its peoples, the German peoples
included: for the rights Of nations great
and small and the privilege of men every
where to choose their way Of life and ODE
dience. The world must be made safe for
democracy. It's peace must be planted up
on the trusted foundations Of political lib
erty-from the Presidents war message.

AMERICAN SURPRISE SPRUNG
ON STAID ENGLISH PEOPLE

LONDON, Sept. 1j.--An American
surprise was sprung on the fashions
BILE audience at the opening Of the an
nual series of so-called popular con-
certs," which for generation have
been a weekly feature of the musical
season in London. The soloist of the
afternoon was Miss Carrie Tubb, per-
haps the most popular of native Eng
lish prima donnas. In response to the
customary demand for an encore, she
sang with splendid dramatic effect the
famous Battle Hymn of the Republic. F"
When the first notes of the piano ac-
compartment tinkled out there were
some smiles among the audience, who
knew the air principally as used by
the Salvation Army to carry religious
song in its open air meetings. But the
intense fervor of the singer swept all
before her, and the song was heard in
breathless silence and hailed with en-
thusiastic applause.

Many Americas People Are Afflicted
With Annoying Kidney Ills.

Are you bothered with too frequent
action of the kidneys? Are the secre-
ions highly colored-do they contain
Iseriment-burn and scald in voiding?
These are all signs of kidney sickness
and should not be neglected. Ameri-
,us people recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills. If your back aches and your
kindneys are weak you will find no bet
er recommended remedy.
