And more of us should! We people of the agri-
cultural section realize thai summer exists chief

those of US who at some happy time in our lives
have been so fortunate as to live on farm, know
that haying and other harvesting of crops cam
not be done in the carly morning hours, that God
time must be followed in spite of any number of
man n1ade laws. War measures were followed
strictly by farmers the majority of them at least
and the daylight saving ruling among them. How
ever, this year the farmers have many OF them
yielded to the demands imposed by the nature
of their work and have gone back to the old

SHALL WE CHANGE?

"HE MOST discussed question in Redwood
County at present is the matter of the
\ suggested removal of county seat from the
nresent site at Redwood Falls to the village of
Wabasso The persons to decide this question are
the tax payers who will pay the bills eventually
and in full If they decide that such procedure
is for the greatest good of the greatest number
the change will be made, but matter of pro-
lection for himself and his neighbor each taxpay-
err should decide the matter for himself after care
full consideration of the matter and should not al
low himself to be biased by reports, nor rumors
nor unfounded statements.
From somewhere, it would be difficult to say
where has arisen the statement that the present
buildings have been condemned and that they are
unfit for use. Such statement is wholly without
foundation, there being record of the buildings
ever having been condemned and no statement
had ever been made by any in authority, that
they are in need of anything but the most ordinary
of repairs.
The statement has also been made that the re-
pairs contemplated and recommended by the
Grand Jury include large and expensive addi-
ton to the exterior of the building. Thai state
ment is entirely false as the improvements in
clude only minor changes to the courtroom on the
second floor and the reafrangemen. of the offices

useable the space already there Anyone who
states that there has been any plan considered
whereby the outside of .he building is to be
changed is knowingly making false statement
The same pervaricator is undoubtedly responsible
for the statement that the courthouse is entirely
outgrown and too small for further use. The
Grand Jury did not find it so and this jury was
made up of representative men from all parts of
the county who were hired by the county to find
out what its needs are They recommended
changes as we have already noted, but they did
not recommend the abandonment of the court
house not the making of extensive repairs.
The Gazette sees no reason for change from
the present site to the particularly inat.ractive
one suggested. However, the Gazette is only one
taxpayer in the county and is entitled to only a
private opinion the same as any other one. But
we would ask that every resident think the mat
Ter over carefully, and fairly, as we believe we
have done, and think it over before signing Pc
tition which may involve the county in special
election costing considerable sum of money.

Farmers are as deeply interested in the local
village and town as are the business and other
people who live there. The majority of these
centers have been located and have developed as
the result of the demands of country people. When
the new sections were settled there were demands
for store, a blacksmith shop, bank, an elevator
and other business institutions. These with the
school and the church formed the nucleus of the
town which has served as the center for trading
and social life If one of these vital centers were
destroyed by fire, flood, or wind or in any other
way, it would be Immediately re-established, be-
cause it serves absolute need. The town is
there to satisfy the needs of the people. Should
they not then organize 20 make it better and
protect in every way its best interests? Indivi-
duals or groups of individuals who undertake TO
separate themselves and their interests from
those of the town are breaking down that which
has required years to build. Existing barriers
between town and country should be removed.
The farmers and business men must work hand
in hand for the Development of agriculture, the
building of roads. schools, and churches and the
establishing of strong, adequate, and attractive
community centers-EXchange.
