Does Your Back Ache?

It's usually a sign of sick kidneys,
especially if the kidney action is dis
ordered, passages scanty or too frequ-
ent. Don't wait for more serious
troubles. Begin using Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read this Redwood Falls testi-
mony.
William Milbradt, retired farmer,
Redwood Falls, says: about year
ago I had a bad attack of kidney COM
plant. / couldn't get about to do
my work. was so sore and lame
across my back, it hurt me to turn
over on the couch and l had to have
assistance. l was in about as bad
shape as anyone could be. The kidney
secretions passed too freely and were
accompanied by a burning sensation.
A friend told me to try Doan's Kidney
Pills, So / bought two boxes. Doan's
gave me quick relief and am certain

"In the whole book there is only
one character even suggested by a
person whom / met in Sank Centre,
and that is one of the younger men
in the book. Even in his case, the
character was merely suggested by
an actual person, and as the story
worked out, the character departs
sharply and completely from the ac-
tual young man-who, by the way,
left Sank Centre years ago.
eff any Of your readers feel sure
they recognize the character then
let me tell them that | have had let
tiers from a number of towns In
states as wide apart as Texas and
Connecticut informing me that read
ers in those towns also recognized
all the characterss and that they
could name all Of them from their
own towns. In one case woman
from a Michigan town Of which / had
never heard wanted to know when
and how I had become acquainted
with her town! Sincerely yours,

Why Ford Gets There

3 The average automobile man.
ufacturer sells cars, not service.
His business is to find buyer,
sell him a machine, and forget
him. There are very few auto
mobile manufacturers who re-
member a man after they have
delivered him a motor car.
There is at least one and that's
the reason for this editorial
that might properly be denomi-
mated a free advertisement for
Henry Ford.
Less than three weeks ago a
motorist drove into the Mime
apolis branch of a well known
manufacturer of a car which
bears the name of that manu-
facturer. We will call the car
the 'tCrosscountry" car, although
the name is somewhat different.
The machine had a broken hound
rod. He was told to drive in by
way of the alley, which he did.
He was informed by flunky
that he would have to see the
foreman in charge before he
could get any service. That
personage-the garage foreman
in silk shirt and a
white collar, was very exclusive.
He was more unapproachable
than the chief justice of the
Supreme Court of the United
States. It was ee-quarters
Of an hour by the watch before
he deigned to notice the motor
list. Then the only information
he would give was that the
Crosscountry Motor Company
did not have a hound-rod at it's
Minneapolis branch, but that the
old one might be repaired. Ask
ed how long it would take, His
Royal Highness who presided ov-
err the Crosscountry garage
wrinkled his forehead, shrugged
his shoulders and Informed Mr..
Motorist that it would be neces-
sary for him to take his turn.
Inasmuch as it was apparent
ly impossible for him to learn
whether it would take a day or a
week to get the job done at the
Minneapolis headquarters of the
Crosscountry car, Mr.. Motorist
made a desperate decision. He
drove to St. Paul, to the Ford
sales agency, and told his story.
The gentleman in charge said !:
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1921-08-17

Drive your car in and we will
make you a hound-rod." Asked
how long it would take to make
the rod and put it in, the Ford
foreman said, "Half an hour
Mr.. Motorist left but returned
in half an hour and asked how
soon the car. would be ready.
Drive it out" was the answer.
The bill was SIPS.
Henry Ford doesn't have much
book learning. He doesn't know
much about history, philosophy
and the sciences, as he has fully
demonstrated. He is probably
not safe counsellor in inter-
national affairs, Perhaps he
would not cut much figure in the
United States Senate. He fail
ed in politics.
But he knows the automobile
business and that's all he needs
to know.
For he knows the automobile
business well.
And he knows how to hire
men who understand what SER
vice means.
We hope Henry Ford viii be
kept SO busy making fiivers, CIV
ing service and scattering good
feeling among folks that he
won't have time to NEEDLE with
things he doesn't understand.
After all, it's a bigger and
more important job to keep the
FLYERS of the country running
than to make a few more laws.

Many States Aid
World War Veterans
ONLY THREE HAVE FAILED TO
PASS LEGISLATION AIDING
X-SOLDIERS.

State legislation converting more
than 1915, 100000 to the aid of World
war veterans has been passed or is
waiting from popular referendum the
Bank of America announced Saturday
at the conclusion of nationwide
survey of the bonus situation. Veter-
ans in fourteen states already are re-
ceiving cash bonuses totalling 1884,
100000 and in eight more states leg
islation providing for cash bonuses of
$191 100000 now is pending.
Only Alabama, Georgia and Mlssls-
sippi have failed to pass legislation
authorizing aid to Veterans in exemp-
tions or benefits of some kind, the re-
port declared.
The bonuses range from $40 a
month for service in number OF
states to $25 month in North Da-
kota. Several states set maximum
rates, ranging from 500 in New
Jersey to $500 in Oregon.
North Dakota claims the honor OF
having been the, first state to pay the
bonus, and Illinois heads the list for
amount, with $55,000,000 provided the
bonus law passes a popular referen-
dunn.
Many states which have given cash
bonuses also are providing aid of a
practical nature. In fifteen states, aid
is offered for vocational education and
in California bill has been adopted
providing for vocational education OF
veterans dependents.
Arizona, California, Oregon and
South Dakota, provide aid in buying
homes, and in Oregon, the bonus is
made optional with the privilege OF
borrowing up to $4,000 on real estate
from the state. Nine Western states
offer assistance in settling on farms
and in eight more Western states,
special boards have been established
to look after the interests Of former
service men.
In Connecticut, Iowa, Massachuset-
is, Michigan, New Jersey, North Da-
kota, South Carolina, Texas and Wy
oming, veterans are exempted from
taxation. Sixteen states provide for
civil service preference in the cases
of former service men.

Golf in ITO.
Smollett's Humphrey Ginger"

Smollett's Humphrey Ginger"
Hard by, in the fields called the
Links, the citizens Of Edinburgh div
ert themselves at a game called golf,
in which they use a curious kind of
bats tipt with horn, and small elastic
balls of leather, stuffed with feathers,
rather less than tennis balls, but with
a much harder consistence These
they strike with such force and dext-
Gritty from one hole to another that
they fly an incredible distance. OF
this diversion the Scotch are so fond
that when the weather will permit
you may see a multitude of all ranks.
from the senator Of justice to the low
est tradesman, mingled together in
their shirts, following the balls with
the utmost eagerness. Among others
was shown a set of golfers, the
youngest of whom was turned four
score. They had all amused them
selves with this pastime for the best
part Of century, without having the
least alarm from sickness or disgust;
and they never went to bed without
having each the best part of a gallon
of claret in his belly.

RediSCOunt Rate
Cut IS Discussed
DIRECTORS OF NINTH DISTRICT
INSTITUTION TAKE UP 81
PER CENT PROPOSAL.

Directors Of the Ninth District Fed
eral Reserve bank are meeting today
to discuss the advisability of reduc-
ing the rediscount rate of per cent
to 51a per cent. This action already
has been taken in other districts.
Because the ninth is a heavy bor-
rowing district, bankers said they be-
lieved reserve directors would not re-
duce the rate. John Ell. Rich, agent Of
the bank, said the situation did not
warrant reduction. Benefit already
is being felt from the recent reduction
to 51z per cent by the Chicago reserve

There is a Remedy

Two new sets Of billboards,
erected at frequent intervals,
have made their appearance
within the last 48 hours along
the Minnetonka boulevard, some
Of them nailed to trees that were
set out by Mr.. Loring for the
Identification of that driveway.
This is an outrage calculated
to provoke profanity and is
pretty nearly the last straw.
There are, on a stretch of a.
bout 10 or II miles of that road,
nearly 100 advertising signs de-
facing the landscape, spelling
the natural beauty of the drive
way and subordinating every eff
fort to make it an, attractive
tourist route to selfish CONNER
cial purposes.
The time has come for the
people who resent this sort of
thing to begin to let those who
spatter our beautiful Minnesota
landscapes with advertisements
big and little realize that the
best possible way to defeat the
end for which they were placed
there. Some of us have already
acquired vigorous and perma-
nent determination never to pa
tronize those institutions which
have SO little regard for the in
terests of the community and
the preservation of the natural
beauties of our scenic highways
as to thrust into the foreground
continually some impertinent
and generally unsightly remind
er of somebody's wares.
We aer preparing to spend
millions--tens of millions-of
dollars upon our highways, not
alone for commercial purposes,
but very largely for tourist pur-
poses. We want hundreds of
thousands Of people to come to
our State every year because it
is beautiful state, to enjoy its
scenery, to travel over it's good
roads and take away delightful
impressions of their visit. But
we cannot expect these impress
sions to be pleasant and the
scenes visited to be remembered
as attractive and inviting return
if the highway are to be lined
with, offensive billboards and
placards, destroying the beauty
of the landscape and robbing the
scenery of its attractive fea-
lures.
Efforts have been made to pre-
vent this business by legislation
but Indifference, supplemented
by the activity of commercial in
terests, has defeated these at
tempts up to the present time.
But until legislation saves the
day, the public, resentful Of this
Internal nuisance, can apply the
remedy already adopted by those
who have well developed pre-
JUDGE against articles so adver-
tised .-MinneanOlis Tribune.

depression and abnormal condi-

responsible for an increase of
1888 in the number of adult sui
cides in this country in the first
six months of this year as COM
pared with the same period in
1920.
The Save-a-Life League says
suicide among children more than
doubled in the same period.
In the case of children, par
entail neglect and fear of school
examinations were mentioned as
the principal causes. With an aver
age age Of sixteen, 314 boys took
their own lives as did 293 girls,
averaging fifteen. In most cases
the boys used revolvers and the
girls poison.
Among adults the preponder-

third met demands for $4,000 of

banks, it is said, finally agreed to
close until the election was over
