BETTER THAN SOFT TIMES

certain hotel in the Northwest has this mot
II to posted in the lobby: ut amt the hard
a times coming, it's the soft times gong,
that hurt" These words sum up very we'll the
present economic and business situation.
The war period and the one just preceding it
were soft times, indeed. To be in business thcr
was good deal like sitting under a banana tree
and having the fruit drop into ones lap. II re-
ouired no great craftsmanship then to sell goods
They almost sold themselves. Prices rose and
the volume of business increased. Credit was
easy and people felt prosperous.
But in those soft times the seeds of trouble
were sown. Things went too easily and smooth
w. A period of rising prices and easy sales al
ways increases the volume of outstanding lndebt-
edness. Credit was stretched to the limit, and
people spent up to, beyond, their incomes
Wise heads prophesied trouble ahead but in the
mad orgy of extravaganza, people did not slo"
down or take heed. Talk with any sane bust,
ness man now and he will tell you that society
and business were going at an impossible pace
in these soft times, and he does not want them to
return
Finally the climax was reached and retrench,
ment set in. Defation came with JOLT
was an economic necessity, deeper than political
issues or parties. Business was over-stmuia1eo
and reaction was inevitable. g.
But the curious paradox of the situation is
that this reaction is sounder and more whole
some than the soft times. Men in business now
are thrown on their metal. Speculation has
diminished and people coming to their senses
The credit situation is reported to be vastly bet
ter than it was year ago. And new perloo
of more scientific business is emerging, IN which
production costs will be examined and reduced
as much as possible, and men will be challenged
and made stronger in carrying on.
Possibly the most valuable lesson gained from
the whole process is the cost of foolishness ano
the interdependence Of business. Prosperity
comes from the general to the particular, from
the whole business group to the individual. Wher
one class of people suffer, all suffer- and no one
can be very prosperous unless all are fairly So
The soft times should not be mourned. They
were unsafe, fabby and treacherous. They fost
cred extravaganza and foolishness. Neither is
there any reason to fear hard times ahead. The
worst is over and authorities agree that the
near future will see better balanced conditions
in industry and sounder psychological attitude

Frank Days suggestion that we watch Frank

torship competition is away off the mark. we
are confident that Mr.. Clague is candidate for
his present position as representative OF the
Second Minnesota District in the lower house OF
Congress. He is now serving his first term and
during that first term he has accomplished things
which are not usually accomplished by new men,

representative on the Republic Congressional
Committee is an unusual appointment for SO
Young member and shows the unqualified con-
fidence which the other members OF the
Minnesota delegation have in the "man from
home" Mr.. Clague's record during his term
of service in Washington has been one Of hard
,nremiting work. while he has been interested
in all phases of constructive and reconstructlve
legislation, he has been especially interested and
efficient in his work for the farmers OF the
Northwest. Those for whom he is working will
recognize the advisability Of keeping Mr.. Clague
RIGHT where he is. They will also recognize the
fact that his good first term entities him to a

WHAT WOMEN WANT.

.-HE Minnesota League Of Women Voters
has presented it's first tentative program
i for educational legislation to the Legisla-
ture Interim Commission Education which
held hearings at the Capitol during the first
week Of January. This program which has been
prepared by the Education Committee of the
League and approved by the State Board, if it
meets with the approval of the women of the
state generally, will be made the goal of the
Leagues Legislative Committee in its work for
educational legislation in the 1928 session of the
state Legislature The program as presented

A wife will insist that her husband shall not
go out of the house cold, raw days without two
undershirts, liver pad and muffler on, in adj
dition to his regular clothes. Yet as soon as
he is safely down town she will rush out bare
headed to hang out clothes as to get ahead OF
the woman next door; or she will tramp off down
town and from house to house to work up some
society or church enterprise with nothing on her
head but little saucepan of hat and shoes no
thicker than a newspaper. Isn't that so?-Ren-
vile Star Farmer.

Recently the Gazette had chat with Red
wood County resident, member of a large firm
which possibly uses the office of Register of Deeds
more than any other firm in this section of the
state. This man said "Mac, (this being short for
A. D. McRae) and Dad Collyer of Renville County
are in a class by themselves when it comes to TAX
ing care of those who must make use of their
Offices. They are always accommodating, will go
TO any trouble to help fellow, and their records
are always absolutely accurate. We'd like to see
them both kept in office as long they will stay"
Tn times like these this sort of record counts for
real efficiency Of office real service to the public
We suspect both men are candidates for reelection
and if such an acknowledgment OF their efficiency
counts for anything, they should certainly receive
the endorsement of majority vote next Novem-
Der.

Olivia merchants will inaugurate monthly
sales day proposition next month with view
of stimulating trade and offering inducements to
purchasers that will mean saving in cash. In
many of the neghboring towns, such as Hutch
inson, Montevideo Willmar and other cities, the
sales day plan has worked out very satisfactorily
and is growing in popularity in those places
This is time in which people must necessarily
look for bargains, and make the dollar buy more
than it has bought in the immediate past, and
therefore the sales day plan should appeal to
the buying public everywhere Times.

The sooner the people of this country quit
worrying about the people of other lands
and get down to considering the needs OF

alize that they must depend upon their own
efforts the better it Wilt be for them Char

We agree with the last part of this statement
but we doubt if there is any present danger

charity at least. And certainly America ha

The Columbia psychologist says: "If science
can study poker and find out what there is in
the game that keeps at it all night, and
then apply that to teaching children, something
will be gained" After science has fathomed the
mystery of the lure of the great American game,
we wish it would turn it's learned attention to
amateur wireless telegraphy and find out what
there is about it's buzzes and bings that makes
a boy forget there is any such thing as school
lessons or family responsibilities. We could use
a little information on that subject to good adj
vantage personally if science would just pass it
along.

MERE BOYS

Howdy, Billy; hello there, Tim!
You're looking wee bit gray.
You amt seen nothin of Buck and jim!
1 was hopin' they'd come today.
What's that? Passed over? Why man alive
Those kids!-They were kids to me,
Though Jim, les see; he was seventy-fve,
An Buckle was seventy-three!
Of course, knew they was gettln' on,
A little bit stiff and bent,
But thought of them like in days that's gone,
When they marched with the regiment;
They was just couple of striplings then
But know, of course, they was two old men
An kept on thinkin' so;
An the old men has to go!
Well, such is life, as a Teller says,
An there isn't no use to fret;
It's quite some time since we passed our prime
But there's lots Of us sticking yet;
Lots of us, still, to swap old lies
An to tell old tales of truth,
An to bring back into our dinmin' eyes
The glow and the CLEAN of truth!
We're gray and withered, but in our hearts,
AS we answer the dwindlin' roll,
We're the same young fellows who played
our parts
In keepin' this nation whole;
An we'll stay that way till we take the track
That leads to some kindly star,
To the wonderful endless bivouac
Where the rest of our comrades are!

The idealists are the people who
count. But for them humanity would
have persisted long ago. The rest are
likely to find themselves errand boys

find yourself in the company of that
whole choir invisible which chants
such gorgeous choruses from the
mountain peaks of history. Be
ashamed of them and they may well
be ashamed of you.
