GOVERNOR SAYS JOIN"

THE public of Minnesota is urged to support
and cooperate in the American Red Cross
annual roll call from November II to 80, in
proclamation issued today by Governor Preus.
IAN effort is being made to enlist 100000
men and women in the nation and Minnesota is
asked to enroll 135,000," Governor Preus said.
"Since the close Of the World war;" the Gov
ernor said, "the Red Cross has done wonderful
work in caring for service men and their Deepen
dents. 1t has organized q public health service
which has given direct aid to thousands of per-
sons and which has done splendid educational
work in this field. 1t is ready in case of dis
aster to give emergency relief and to look after
the rehabilitation Of the victims. Through it's
Junior Red Cross activities it is working with the
younger generation for better health and clean
living. In the suffering nations Of Europe the
Red Cross is our messenger of mercy, service and
good will.
81, J. A. O. Preus, Governor of Minnesota, do
hereby call upon the citizens Of this state to give
their support and cooperation to the Red Cross
in this campaign and urge them to renew their
membership if they members, or to join the
organization, if they have not already done so.'

Birds Fly South

Jack Frost is beginning to get in
his work up north in Canada. Birds
soon fly south. These migratory
flights are mysteries of science.
How do they know when to start
and where to go and how to find their
way?
Bird migration 'is a very old habit,
an Unborn instinct which was developed
ages ago, and which manifests itself
year after year in a uniform manner
and without any remarkable close con-
formity to immediate conditions"
This is Prof. J. Arthur Thomson's
explanation in his Outline of
Science" In other words, the annual
southwark flight of birds is a habit
developed gradually through thou
sands of years.
One scientific explanation is that
the Great Ice Age, when glaciers NOV
ed down from the north, drove birds
south. When the ice slowly retreat
ed, they flew back to their old homes
in warm summer, but returned to the
new homes in winter.
One guess is as good as another.
Ever wonder how fast birds travel
when they migrate south? Some of
them reach a speed of more than SO
miles an hour. When weary, as you
have noticed, they camp for rest
chang around" certain locality for q
day or so.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1922-11-15

Ducks travel "A to SO miles an hour
and small songbirds 20 to 81 miles an
hour, according to Col. Meinertz-
hagen's observations. The bird named
the "swift" has been known to pass an
airplane doing 60 miles an hour, and
reaches speed of more than 100 miles
when flying with all its energy and
skill.
Wild geese travel in a sort Of v
formation, one side longer than the
other, like broken wishbone. Shoot
the leader and the formation closes up,
the next bird in line taking the fallen
leaders place.
Shoot the leader of some kinds of
wild ducks and, say the Ojibway In
dams, the flock fiutters to the ground,
preferably a swamp, and presently
rises after much chattering in which
they seem to elect new leader.
This is the sort of adventure, rom
ance and mystery that flies over our
heads and exists all around us in ma
ture. And yet some people frequently
yawn, bored with life, and complain
that they can find nothing interesting.

MY HOPE

Edgar A. Guest
This is my hope, that no friend shall call
And find me but selfish after all;
That never kindly word shall die
On my lips unspoken as men 60 by;
That shall not sit with the setting sun,
Counting the deeds which 1 might have done.
This is my creed for the common day;
To play the man as go my way,
To meet what comes with an upturned face,
And bring to my duty touch Of grace,
To do what l must and a little more
To do what can til the day is DER
To do what can that will scatter cheer
And brighten the lives of my neighbors here;
To speak in kindness and now and then
To serve the needs Of my fellow men;
Never to sigh at the long days end
Over wasted chances to play the friend.
This is my hope when the day shall close:
That may 60 to my nights repose
Glad with the thought that have done my
best
And haven't failed in some simple test;
Without regret at the setting sun
For some kindly deed which I could have
done.

Without trying to do it at all, the Gazette
editor last week proved herself genuine-well,
to use the least harsh term, prevaricator. In
headline we Haunted the fact that Fern Kennedy
had poled the largest vote of any candidate in
the County and then, in the table Immediately
below this hauntingness, gave figures proving that
Sheriff Kisses vote was the heaviest of any ones
by good measure of rather more than five hun
dred votes Wasn't any excuse that we could see
for it either,-our mistake we mean, not the five
hundred votes. But down deep in soul we
rather guess that, while the mistake entirely
it grew out Of very great desire
to give fellow woman all that was possible to
give her. 1t was not, to paraphrase bit, that
eve love Sheriff Kise less, but that we love Miss
Kennedy more" Anyway Louie" was a good
sport-he never stopped his paper, nor got mad,
nor said mean things at told his wife to
quit speaking to u.s. nor nothin'!

Of these lives could be saved if the treatment or
the disease were begun in time. Today ninety
thousand people have Cancer in an early and cura
BILE stage; majority of these will die OF the
disease unless they seek treatment in time to be
cured.
Is it not still true, as Of old, that we are our
brothers keepers? Will you not help this cause
by informing yourself Of the early signs and
symptoms of Cancer and by spreading the news
to others? We ask you to help these sufferers
before it is too late, by joining in the Cancer Week
activities. Above all, inform yourselves as to
the early symptoms Of Cancer!

This is the time of year the editors dig deep
into the old plate box and find lot of boiler plate
filler showing ways and means of fashoning
Christmas gifts that will supposedly startle the
world by their beauty and inexpensiveness. All
this is supposed to be for the delight and edfca
ton Of the feminine readers. OF course the dear
editor boys don't know it, but the most of this
blessed plate shows articles that went out of date
about the time Wilhelm found the climate of
Germany to be unhealthful, and no woman of any
sense or artistic ability would waste time on max
ing the atrocities. Far be it from us to try to
enlighten them-we have no wish to make ourself
uselessly unpopular

We hope every one takes time to read the
Control of Cancer" article which appears on
this page. The article is part of quantity of
anti-cancer literature sent out from the Mayo
Clinic through the activity of DIR. Verne C. Hunt,
State Cancer Chairman. This is Cancer Week
not pleasant week to contemplate but very
wise one to observe sinces it's purpose is to edu-
cate people how to prevent falling into the clutch
es of this disease which is truly another dread
full plague" careful study will be of benefit to
many people, and DR.. Hunt sends out the word
that pamphlets of information may be secured
from the American Society for the Control of
Cancer, which he states is purely philanthropic
educational association located at $40 Seventh
Avenue, New York City. Backed by authority
such DR.. Hunts name gives, there need by no
hesitancy on the part Of anyone as to the advisa-
billy Of sending for this information.

We try to be mothers Brave Girl" about
most things, but aren't even trying to be
optimistic about the downfall of a man like Vol.
stead in the House, nor the putting of of
Shipstead's alleged tendencies in the Senate.
The work done by the successors of Kellogg and
Volstead may justify apology for our pressm-
ism at some future time-and we will be found
ready and willing to make such apology if that
time comes. But right can't see
any justification for the retirement of two men of
known worth, and the substitution for them of
two persons of doubtful proclivities and posi-
bilities.

"a house divided among itself cannot stand
That is quite as true Of town as it is of a
house. And it might be we'll for certain radically
inclined citizens of Redwood Falls to think along
that line. The best way we know of keeping a
small town LITTLE is to be perpetuay starting
a division of opinion upon public subjects. The
second best way is to inject Church difference"
into matters which concern the community a
whole. Redwood County has seen one town pay
dearly for similar-although not identical-inds

thereof

In speaking of the election last Tuesday the
Minneapolis Journal says "The spirit of change
is i'm the air, but small agreement is discernible
on what sort of change" The Journal is ap-
parenty as much "up tree" as any of us and
just as unable to determine" what's all the shootin
for!" Maybe two years from now we will have
some better idea. It may be the spirit of change
but to us it looks more like the spirit Of chaos.

IRON the priest physician Of ancient times,
r the medical profession inherited and still
retains the high ideals and altruism of the
priest hood. This idealsm is expressed in the
avowed main purpose Of physicians-"to relieve
suffering and prolong life" Guided by this ideal
ism modern medicine is the accomplishment of the
medical profession, sanitarans and other scient-
lists. With the necessary cooperation of an en-
lightened educated public, the application of
known and tried reliable means of prevention has
lowered the death rate of tuberculosis of the
lungs,-the great white plague, fifty per cent, or
more, and has we'll nigh eradcated typhoid fever,
typhus fever, yellow fever, diphtheria, cholera,
malaria, smallpox, bubonic plague and other dis
eases which have killed thousands upon thousands
of people in the past. Through the efforts of the
medical profession nobly supported by philan-
thropic citizens in the education of the public the
death rate among infants and children due to
diarrhoeal and other diseases has fallen in many
communities to fraction of the former mortality.
All this has been accomplished by the unceasing
efforts of physicians and public health workers in
educating the public and in the rational applica-
ton of reliable methods of disease prevention, and
in the utilization of scientific means of treatment.

to educate the people to recognize the early symp
toms of Cancer, in order that its victims may OBJ
tain prompt assistance and check the trouble in
its beginning when cure can be effected. When
the disease is far advanced, it is always fatal;
there is no late cure for Cancer. In the early
recognition of Cancer lies the hope Of cure!
Ninety thousand people die yearly Of cancer

"Everychild looks at us inquiringly
From the streets,
From the many windows,
From orphan and founding asyums,
From the factories,
From the squalid homes
And from the homeless places.
From the windows Of the schools
He looks at us inquringly,
He the Future of the Race.
He looks at us and through US,
And far away
Into the distant future
And sometimes in his eyes
There is hope and cheer,
And sometimes suffering and sorrow,
And sometimes reproach,
And sometimes despair.
We had best stop and look at Every
child
He is not alone for his mother,
Not alone for his father,
But belongs to every one of US;
He is the deepest concern of us ALL
What shall be done for Everychild?"

"Our popular songs are punk, and
disgrace to the republic. They make
mockery of our proud claim that we are
civilized and enlightened people. 1t is
hard to tell whether their grammer, their
rhyme or their meter is the most impossi-
BILE, but it is easy to tell that much more
atrocious is their lack of true sentiment,
of poetic feeling, of lyric form and, what
is still more deplorable and disgracing is
their suggestiveness, their vulgarity and
often the downright smut and obscenity
which makes up large part of them.
And, heaven save the mark! they help to
educate" our boys and girls Perhaps
not many realize how much they "help."
They litter the piano in the homes; they
are screeched from the monographs and
the young folks go about singing them
humming them at first-innocent of their
meaning. But the meaning sinks and
takes root. There are great many bad
things our young folks have to contend
with, but, in our opinion, nothing more
dangerous than these so-called popular"
songs"

Mrs Oleson will leave soon for the southern

will lecture Repubcanly. Anyway she has prov
