in which it is located, almost re-
gardless of the value of the partic-

for the man with a good farm and
good buildings to secure what is
really a safe loan. 1t is believed
that the newS Federal Farm Loan

these conditions.
Certainly if it permits our farm

WE'RE IN A FIGHT.

It's fight that we've signed up for,
fight to finish, too;
And it's no time to belittle what this land
has got to do;
We want to go into battle bout the way
Bill Spriggins done
In the battle with neighbor, that he fit
one time and won;
Twas about a fence or something, or
maybe their children fit,
Or perhaps their dogs got scrappin' and
one of their dogs got bit
When you're in fight it doesn't matter
what it is about,
The thing you must concentrate on is
this thing O. winnin' out.
Bill stood up to battle fairly, with his
dukes up in style,
Watchin' of the other feller's every move
ment with smile;
Thinkin' he would know the rules and
fight both civilized an fair,
And not gouge feller's eyes nor kick his
shins or pull his hair;
But the Teller looked minute at the way
Bills hands was helt,
Then he lifted one long brogan and kicked
Bill below the belt!
And Bill sot down ruther sudden, with a
most astonished grunt,
Feelin like cobblestone had come and
nestled in his front.
But when Bill had got his wind back, an
he could make out to stand,
He riz up from off the earth with half a
brickbat in each hand!
And he used up them two brickbats and
used heavy water pail,
And scantlin' and both feet, and robbed
the near fence of rail
Anything that could be lifted and could
strike a stunnin blow
Bill went after and he used it on the fea-
lures of his foe.
And before the sunsets glory had come
famin' in the sky
Bill had changed the feller's map and put
a shanty on each eye.
Nations are like men, and when they run
amuck and fight and taunt,
The best way to cure 'em of it is to give
them what they want.

BEWARE.
THE Gazette has always aimed to keeI
out of the alarnist class, to let idle

THE Gazette has always aimed to keep
out of the alar.nist class, to let idle
rumor pass unheeded and wait for
certainty before we spread any alarm.
However, war times and peace times are
quite two different times, and in view of
the many unpleasant worse-things
that have been happening throughout the
country we would like to spread the idea
that caution should be used by the pound
rather than the ounce right now. Beware
of the stranger within your gate, also of
the one coming up your alley He may be
a bona fide member of the great Order Of
Hoboes or he may be heap sight worse
Don't buy anything whatever of street
vendors except those who have "vended"
in your town long enough so that you are
sure Of them. Carelessness in this re-
spect may leave harvest of disease and
destruction in its path. Don't help any,
body, man or woman, with money, until
the solicitor is vouched for by the COM
mercial club or the city officials In other
words, reverse your peace-time theory and
regard every one as an enemy until he
has been proven a friend. The United
States is suffering from an epidemic of
German spies and would-be spies, as we'll
as the usual summer quota of utterly
worthless visitors. Play the game right
for yourself and others by making strang-
ers prove themselves and refuse to be the
proverbial easy-mark.
Incidentally, no complete and authen-
tic" story of the Great War has yet been
written, SO don't be the goat for some
verbose book agent.

THE POPE'S PLAN.

THE peace plan advanced by the pope
will not meet with much of a favor
able reception except, perhaps, in
Germany. The pope would have a peace
without indemnities, and would have all
colonial possessions returned to Germany
Fine! Nothing could be more pleasing to
Wilhelm and the other arch-conspirators |!
Now that they are getting taste Of re-
peated defeats and with their hopes of an
ultimate victory sent a-glimmering, they
are perfectly willing to call the war off !;
pay no indemnities for the billions of dam
age they have wrought in Belgium and
France and to American and neutral ship
ping; erase the memory of thousands of
innocent lives taken to advance the Ger
man greed for world dominion; and are
willing to have their colonial possessions
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1917-08-22

handed back untouched by destroying
hands. This nation and none of our Al
lies viii pay heed to any such outrageous
proposition. Not until Germany has felt
the sting Of a decisive defeat, its cities
laid waste and its armament destroyed
will ANY peace plan be considered. And,
furthermore, when plea for peace is
made it will come from official Germany,
and not from the pope or any other papal
hierarchy. The war is being waged by
temporal powers; and the vatican and the
pope should be politely but firmly told, it
and he will have no part in peace delibera-
lions or in any negotiations pertaining

TO THE WOODS WITH THEM.

Slackers, professional pacifsts and 9th
err traitors are getting scant sympathy.
The editor of the st. Cloud Times recent
ly wrote these words, which not only ring,
but ring true: "We are in war. The time
for discussion, court delays and quibbling
is past. The time has come to do things,
and we are glad the Public Safety Com
mission is proceeding exactly along that
very line. They have issued no unwise or
ders, and the man or set of men who OBJ
ject, better get out Of the way or they
will be run over. Pacifsts, slackers and
-in-the-rear-pa patriots should take to

On Michigan avenue in Chicago you

automobile driven by chauffeur who
wears a plug hat. If you were to ask
how he can do it, the truthful answer
would be: people out in the country

taken from the various communities,
the mail order king builds mansions

THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
PARAPHRASED.

IN EVEN score and one years ago our
~ fathers brought forth upon this
earth a new nation, conceived in lib
erty and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal. Now we are
engaged in a great world war, testing
whether that nation-or any nation SO
conceived and so dedicated-can long en-
| dure.
We are sending millions of our young
men to participate in that war, IN order
that this nation-and the democracy 1t
gave to the world-may live. 1t is alto
gether fitting and proper that we should
do this.
But democracy can not be saved for the
world unless we who remain at home 90
our duty. It is for us to be dedicated to
the work of sustaining and supporting the
brave men whom we have sent to wage
the war for world freedom. It is for us
to be consecrated to the task of preserv-
ing at home the ideals of democracy for
which they shall struggle abroad; that
from their willingness to be sacrificed we
take renewed devotion to the cause for
which they have offered the last full
measure of devotion; that we highly and
solemnly resolve that those who have died
on the fields of France and Flanders and
on the high seas. shall not have died in
vain that this world shall, under God,
have a new birth of freedom that Hohen-
zollernism shall be uprooted and de-
stroyed; and that government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people shall
never perish from the earth.-Ted Chris
Hanson.

If you are afraid to go and fight, say

One of our exchanges of last week made
the following statement: "The man who
tries to evade his country's call to mill
tary service, when there is no good rea-
son, is making a great mistake It is a
time for patriotism and for sacrifice. No
body wanted this war; it came upon u.s.
We are compelled to fight Now is the
time to fight. Should Germany win the
war it will be only matter of time be-
fore her autocratic military rulers will at
tack us on our own shores Better, far
better, that we should now take up arms
cross the water and fight Germany on
her own battle ground, while we have the
assistance of the other nations, than to
wait until we are called upon to repel in
vasion from our own shores. It seems
impossible that any good American citi-
zens, realizing the seriousness of the sit
uation, should attempt to shirk plain
duty"
