ONO suslIe unsess we apply the spark OF
initiative to them, that divine spark OF action
without which the most splendid plans ana
hopes are but idle dreams, which will prove
the pickpockets of mans time.
"But there is one man who is In class by
himself. This is the fellow who makes the
most out of today. He plans, he dreams. but
he makes his dreams come true by doing. He
does not wait until tomorrow, or next week,
or next year, to achieve success He Wrlngs
every drop of success there is out OF today,
and by making the most out OF each day as IL
comes along he piles up the grand total OF
achievement and accomplishment that WINS
the respect of men, even as they pause to
wonder how he did it. This is the kind OF
men you find in the big places OF life every
where, because they are the only men VINO are
big enough to fill the big jobs. Instead OF
waiting for Opportunity to knock, they have
gone out after her, armed with grit and de-
termination. And when they found Oppor-
tunity they forced her to point out the road
to Success. And then they went straight
along that road to the goal that lay Just
over the long, steep hill
"These are the men who are in class by
themselves, because they don't waste time
talking about yesterday, and they are too
busy making the most of todays opportunl-
ties to talk about what they are going to do
tomorrow You will find them up front, right
on the firing-lne of business, and that's just
where they belong, because they got there
by sheer grit, step by step, one day at
time.

T HE YEARS roll around mighty fast! 1t
was only day before yesterday or the day
before that, that Redwood County people
were all hustling around to get ready for the big
Southwestern Minnesota event of 1919 The Red
wood County Fair! Now it is time to get ready
for the 1920 fair which promises to be the biggest
and the best of all the long line of forty-seven
fairs F. G. Hubbard, the captain of the advertis-
ing team, camped on the front steps of the Ga
zette shop until the force set to manfuly and got
out the premium lists in record-breaking time
just to get rid of Frank, of course. Now the
Secretary and the men and women and boys and
girls of the County know that their prize winning
exhibits will bring them, not only glory, but good
money as we'll President Stensvad announces
that the new entrance to the grounds will be COM
pleted by fair tme-we trust the Honorable
President is right! Other necessary work about
the grounds is also well under way even though
the fair is still several weeks ahead of us. No
one needs to worry about any of the officers
or directors failing to do his part-they are all
isn't their fair any more than it is yours ours
and if we don't buckle down and help they can't
put across one that will be just more than aver
age-and "just average fair" will never do for

There over three hundred thousand
motor vehicles paying license fees in the State
of Minnesota. On the present three year plan
that means an income of nearly fourteen million
dollars. Those figures show how the hard surfaced
roads, planned for Minnesota under the rulings of
the Babcock Road Law, will be paid for in part If
Amendment Number l is dealt with as it should
be at the November election And there is small
fear that the sale of automobiles will decrease
to any appreciate extent so long as the supply
of gasoline holds out. In fact the figures for
auto licenses sold by Secretary of State Julius
A. Schmahl during the month of June, point to
healthy increase, since nine thousand, nine hun
bred twenty-nine licenses sold in thirty days.
Minnesota can certainly well afford to have the
hard surfaced roads which are necessary to plea
sure convenience, and safety. Let's get them by
voting Aye for Amendment No. /.

THE SMUSH PARTY.

TT HE COUNTRY Gentleman, farm pape
published in Philadelphia, has it sized VI
= about right when it tells of the third part.
recently formed at Chicago, which nominated
Farley Christensen for President. 1t says:
The political conglomeration that was so
weirdly cocooned at Chicago has msnamed
itself the "Farmer-Labor" Party. 1t is mis-
representative of even the extremist wing of
organized discomfort in farming. We are in
formed in press dispatches that Brother
Townley was too shrewd to intrust any of his
political eggs to the new nest. The destruc-
tionists of organized labor and the nut-sundae
parlor Bolshevists who worship at the shrine
of Lenine and Trotzky triumphed and de-
clared what few shreds of conservatism crept
into the convocation out of order.
Instead of "Farmer-Labor" it should be
called the Smush Party. Smush does not
mean anything, but is an easy word to roll
out in any dialect, in the heat of passion and
when the mouth is Overlooking with foolish
phrases. Phoneticaliy it is fine word for
the college yell of the parlor Bolshevist.
So let's enter it in the record as the Smush
Party so that all decent sober-minded farm
ers may not confuse their cause and their
interests with any meretricious Farmer La
Dor" label Henceforward, as far as the
Country Gentleman is concerned, the Smush
Party it is.

A certain young man residing in the little old
home city is in peculiar predicament. He has
occasion to attend a wedding next week, a
strictly formal wedding where a dress suit is not
only desirabty but necessity. The poor lad
had dress suit once but all that remains of it
now is pair of pumps and classy looking white
shirt. By amputating the big toe on each foot
he finds he get into the pumps, by swallow
ing his Adams apple and thus decreasing his neck
line, the shirt may be made to do service once
again But what is to be done in the interval
we mean the interval between shirt and pumps,
not the interval between today and the wedding
day. Somehow can't help feeling big SYM
pathy for the chap!

LET'S BE FAIR.

wv yE HAVEN'T been at home enough durin
w the last few nor months Is to know i the pc,
W pie of the Redwood Falls community al
complaining of overcharging by the local mel
chants or not. But in every other town they ar
and we suspect they are here. Ola Levang, l
his paper sizes up the situation admirably, in on
opinion, and we believe Ola's words of wisdor
are just as applicable to Redwood Falls and tn
other towns of Redwood County as they t
his own town of Lanesboro.
During the past few months we have sew
eral times heard our home merchants criti-
cised for the prices they charge for their
goods.
"The home merchant does charge a higher
price-a much higher one-than he did before
the war. He is compelled to do so go out
of business.
"He is paying enormously high prices for
his goods in the wholesale markets.
"He is paying increased freight rates and
carriage
''His help costs him more money and his
overhead expenses are greater.
Everywhere he turns he is forced to pay
heavy increase in the cost of conducting his
business.
added to his, he is under an additional
pressure in paying the high cost of support
ing his family and himself.
Cali of this must come out of the business,
and this can only be done by charging rea-
sonable percentage of profit over the whole
sale cost of his goods.
"The home merchant not afford to
profiteer. Were he to do so he would soon
be trapped and would thereafter be a dead
one in this community.
prices are high-abnormally high-but we
believe the home merchants are as reasonable
in their charges as can be expected under
existing conditions.
Lets be fair"

OUR NEW CLIP SHEET.

T is great thing to have brother-i law who
i is a brother to Harry A. Earnshaw, president
u of the Earnshaw Press Corporation of Boston.
Not that gain anything in the way of reflected
glory-both the relationship and Boston are too
far away for that! But have bribed, beaten
and bullied said brother-in-law into putting us
the mailing list of the Earnshaw Press Organ of
which Harry A. is the purported organlst Form
erly when we wanted to steal Harry's stuff we
had to sneak into Mike and Joe's and purloin
their copy of Ginger, being careful to do the deed
while Joe's broad back was turned Sometimes
too we found Harry's braininess exploited in the
Duluth Herald and without hesitancy we stole
that, too, crediting it when we had to and using
it our own when we thought We could get
away with it. But both methods had drawbacks,
and that is why are so pleased to have Harry
copy alight, all unprotected from our scissors upon
warped office desk with regularity which
is truly Bostonan. From the most recent copy
of the valued pamphlet we have clipped the fol-
lowing little editorial on Today. We like it and
are hoping it will appeal to our readers as it
does to u.s.
There are three classes of men we are
likely to meet in the business world In
the first class you will find the man who
points to the things he did yesterday He is
living in the faded glory of his past successes,
and to him there days like the ''good
old days. This man is dead, though he does
not know it, and though he still moves among
the live ones he cannot keep up with the pro-
cession of progress, because he has his eyes
turned back over his shoulder, content to rest
upon the laurels of yesterday, which to him
will never wither.
In the second class is the chap who is full
of hope. He is forever referring to the things
ne hopes to do, the great results he hopes to
accomplish tomorrow That word "to-
morrow" is the fatal flaw in his philosophy
With him it will always be tomorrow because
ne lacks the initiative to do it now = TODAY
Hope is a fine thing Ambition is fine. But

THE SCOUT TRAIL.

ITO the American Boy Scouts)
Washington blazed it through wilderness SHOWS
Wearing the hunting shirt, bearing the pack,
Braving the winter and treacherous foes,
Out to the turbd Ohio and back,
Carson and Crockett and Boone and the rest,
Hunter and fighter and bold pioneer,
Carried it southwark and carried it west
Follow their moccasins, treading it clear
Over the mountains they furthered the way;
Still in the distance new ranges were blue.
Sure with the rifle and hatchet were they,
Deft with the paddle and buoyant canoe.
Guarding the hamlet that rose in the glen,
Guarding the train from the savages' wrath
Living free hearted and dying like men
What must they be who would follow their
path?
Clearly in body and ceanly in mind,
Loyal in all things and patient and strong
Cheerful and resolute, gentle and kind,
Stalwart in shielding the weaker from wrong.
Whether it lead through the peace Of the vale,
Whether through cities that hustle and hum,
Scouts of America, follow that trail,
Treading it plain for the millions to come!
