We are weary of many things but our chief
est WEAKNESS is caused by "smarty" editors and

ty defects very visible upon any bathing beach
but they are by no means all feminine defects.
We would suggest that if the mems dressing
rooms at the beaches were equipped with full
length mirrors of good, clear discriminating glass,
this masculine comment might be a bit less scath-
ing-in fact we are of the opinion that it would
probably cease in very short time

Have you ever paid attention to our band on
the march? Very few bands show up to advant-
age when marching for the reason that it is not
simple matter to keep in line with the men
ahead also with ones at the side and then play
at the same time. The notable exception to this
is military bands for they are carefully and re-
gularly trained over considerable period of
time. But our band compares favorably with
many military bands. Marching down the street
they present an impressive spectacle and one of
which we have right to be proud. And as they
then strike up air. if does not feel at least
little thrill, then such one surely is seldom
thrilled. The achievement of producing band
that appears well on the march is no mean mark
of the ability Of our bandmaster, Mr.. Bttrich.
It is worthy of the attention and the pride of
every citizen interested in the band.

cakes of floating ice, the steamer
"Polias," without cargo, niistook

ship, which was $50 it. long, did not
differ from type largely constructed
during the war, except that the hull
was of concrete. The ship lies broad.

1920, revealed no damage whatever,
except hole in the bottom and water
in the hold. Otherwise the hull,
decks, and bulwarks, all of concrete,
did not show even a small crack.

Even the Duluth Herald has it's trouble with
over-zealous propogandists who endeavor every
now and then to 'help fill up the paper" by send
ing in an article of column or two about some
matter of interest only to themselves. We
thought only rural editors were up against this
proposition. Misery likes company-and as long
as people fail to recognize the value of news or
advertising space in either daily or weekly papers
the Herald and the Gazette will have at least
that much in common.

for the old fashioned high school graduation pro-

Where several members of the class took actiYe

Their addresses might not have the finish depth
of the professional speakers output, but they do
have the human interest. They would be, too, "a

Such massacre as occurred at Herrin Ill
inois, is bound to have a.strong influence on public
opinion against organized labor denials that this
is the spirit of unionism notwithstanding. Such
an event and others Of minor Importance in vari-
Gus points of the coal fields would seem to indicate
that organized labor has as much Of desire to
be autocratic at times as could ever be charged
against Capital in its grossest acts. If the or
gained coal strikers will but show conclusvely
to the American people that it's present cause is
just, they will gain their ends much faster than
by attempting to take the law into their hands
That the perpetrators of this heinous crime lost
their heads is no more of an excuse than in the
case of an ordinary murderer. The very thot of
taking the lives of felloWmen simply because they
disagree and are willing to work is so abhorrent
that it seems difficult to comprehend how people,
of the present day can work themselves into such
murderous frenzy, even tho one does look at it
from the viewpoint of mob psychology; but the
apparent continued callousness over the atrocity
they committed makes doubly dark the blot upon
the name Of the coal strikers. In the past labor
has suffered injustices; but such anarchistic
methods can but cause loss of ground that It
has gained. Labor chiefs would do well to take
every precaution that such an outbreak Of un-
Americanism does not occur again, if it expects
the backing Of public opinion, which is very es-

Altho the Non Partisan League is to very
large extent discredited even by many former
ardent adherents, yet there is one good which has
quite evidently proceeded largely from this move
ment. It helped to awaken the farmers as few
other things have to the necessity of cooperation
It aided very much in making fertile the ground
for that movement which gives promise of mean
ing so much to the welfare of the farmer, namely
the Farm Bureau.

TO RAMSEY STATE PARK AND
REDWOOD FALLS ~

tn EDWOOD FALLS business men are to be
* congratulated again upon their civic spirit,
manifested this time by the marking of all
roads leading to this city with ITO Ramsey State
Park and Redwood Falls. Realizing that if
there is a beauty spot in Southwestern Minnesota
of which every tourist should be apprised it is
Ramsey Park, our business men have at no little
expense to themselves performed this service for
the travelling public. And real service it is, for
there were many tourists who heretofore did
not pause to enjoy the splendors of nature as
manifested in Ramsey. The reason for their
failure to do SO simply that coming from
considerable distances, they had never heard of
it. Accordingly, our business men, who appreci-
ate the generosity of nature in giving us such
a spot and who feel the responsibility of steward
ship decided to acquaint everyone with the exist
ence of it instead of permitting tourists to pass
thru town entirely unaware that such place of
beauty exists at out very door. Heretofore there
were to our knowledge only two or three signs in
existence that called attention to the park.
One Of the purposes in advertising it by
means of these guides is to thoroly link in the
minds Of all tourists the names Of Ramsey State
Park and Redwood Falls. When we are away
from home and say are from Redwood Falls,
it is indeed pleasant to have the old home town
recognized by some such reply as this, "Oh Yes!
Redwood Falls! That's where Minnesotas mini
ature Yellowstone is located. I remember the
time we camped there all night the more to enjoy
it" The erection Of these guides will make such
remarks even more frequent than in the past by
reason Of the increased number of visitors. In
numerous ways they will in time help Redwood
far more than the cost Of purchase.

there is going to be an awful lot of stauch mem

our humble opinion this slight depression from
the faith of their fathers is most commendable
in the part of the Third District voters.

/
are constantly trying to impreas upon their
readers that we are fast returning to prosperity
AS an indication they point with pride to the
| fact that whereas year or two ago they had
borrowed millions from the Federal Reserve Bank,
today they have practically no bills payable" or
"notes re-discounted". On the face of it this
sounds good But where did the money come
from to pay up the Federal Reserve Bank? Was
| it from the profits of increased production:
Hardly. The Federal Reserve Bank insisted on
getting its money from the city banks, the city
banks in turn demanded that the country banks
| pay up, and so The country banks very naturally
had to ask the farmer to meet his obligations.
The farmer could not pass the buck and SO the
real hardship fell upon him primarily. Of course
this enforced liquidation in itself had very Sob
ering influence upon the people of almost every
class in the entire country It made them realize
with jolt that their orgy Of spending could not
continue if there to be- prosperity in the land.
Accordingly, people are working harder and
spending less. But aside from this, the improved
condition Of the city banks is poor index to the
prosperity of this section Of the country at least
Unfortunately, great part of this section is as
yet engaged almost entirely in grain farming.
Altho we may harvest good crop, yet even that
under present conditions will not give to this
tion the of return to prosperity here that
it should; for the prices of farm products are so
low in proportion to the prices which the farmer
must pay for commodities he buys that after pay
ing the expenses of operation and taxes, there is
not enough left to pay the interest on
moderate sized mortgage. EAen tho Eastern
money may now be easier to get, it helps but
little if the production of years crop does not
give the farmer reasonable profit on his work,
So the return to prosperity does not lay to any
large extent in increased production of grain on
the farm, yet again on the decrease of bills
payable Of city banks; but the return to prospect
ty lays chiefly in the equalization of the prices
of farm products and the commodities the farmer
must buy. Until the buying power Of bushel
Of corn, of oats or of barley bears somewhat the
same relation to machinery to clothes, etc. it
id few years ago, there can be no real talk of
return to fundamental prosperity far even
the entire Northwest is concerned; for the status
of the farmer can not be left out of consideration
in the economy of this country in determining it's
prosperity; for more than one-third of peo-
pie actually engaged in farming, which voca-
ton according to the standards of value of few
years ago produces considerably more than one
half Of the nations wealth. Grain farming con
stitutes very large part of all farming in the
Northwest. Can there then be sound talk of re-
turn to real prosperity when the people of so
fundamental and vital industry not pro-
sper? Give us either higher prices for farm pro
ducts or lower prices for other commodities and
this entire section will fast return to operating
on paying basis.

When Uncle Zeke was forty-eight
The neighbors used to say,
"He's lookin' pretty bad, of late,
s He ought to learn to play.
A man toward ffty's past his prime,
He oughtn't to forget
If he keeps at it all the time
Hard work will kill him yet"
When Uncle Zeke was sixty two
The parson shook his head,
ezekiel has too much to do;
He's all worn out, he said.
"A man of family has no right
His health to disregard;
/ fear he'll pass away some night,
He's working far too hard"
When Uncle Zeke was eighty-four,
Still toiling on his farm,
The boys around the country store
Were moved to grave alarm.
Said they Gle ought to drop the pillow
An spend his time in bed
He's worked too long already, now,
Next syear'll see him dead!"
Now Uncle Zeke is ninety-three,
And works from rise of sun
Till dusk, then stays around to see
: The evening milking done.
He's strong Of limb and clear Of eye,
No job he'll ever shirks
And still the neighbors prophesy
He'll die of overwork!
