that the domestic service problem is
still with us. Women are doing their
own house work, who had one or two
girls at their every beck and call a
few years ago. It has done them
good mentally and physically. But
there are times still when it is desira-
BILE to have some of that work done
for the housewife, and / am amazed
that the community idea has not taken
better hold. The community kitchen,
where one can get full dinner sent
home, warm and nice, ready to. put
on the table, was capital thing, but
strangely few are in operation; men
and women who will go out to do
Homework from house to house, at so
much per hour, would fill hard-felt
want, but it is done but little, spite
of the talk of unemployment commun-
ity; or cooperative buying and mar
keting, all those suggestions were
good, but we are set in our ways, 1t
takes time for US to change them, we
want a servant all to ourselves, we
want our cooking done right in the
house, all those things just as we
used to have them, before conditions
changed, and now that they are not
available in the old form, why, hang
it, we go without or do it all ourselves.

GARD ID At least some Of the higher values of life
for every Chautauqua presents men with e mess
age for the lives Of the people.
The Chautauqua which comes to Redwood
Falls likewise presents the better class OF
that universal language Of mems hearts We
hear music Of the sort which many would not
otherwise be privileged to hear And surely TO
familiarize the rank and file Of our citizens with
the better class of music, one of the oldest and
highest of the culture arts, is very much worth
while. To hear real music by such artists as
the Toy Concert company and Lark Ellen" who
appeared here last year is to have a service OF
great value rendered the Community.
During the war we learned that out OF the
Melting Pot" had not yet come throughy an
American nation as we believed. There were
many who thru lack Of education in the elements
Of citizenship were not thoroughgolng broad
minded Americans If there is any institution
outside of our newspapers and magazines Whlcn
is doing more than any other thing to Amerl-
canize and unity the adult lives of American, that
is in all probability the Chautauqua for from the
platform we hear such messages of Intelligent
Americanism as ring true to the best ideals and
traditions of our country.
When we stop to think that these things and
many more are within the grasp OF everyone Tor
the sum of $500 for entire course, which averages
about fourteen cents per number, there is assur-
eddy small reason for the failure Of practically
everyone to attend Chautauqua this year. This is
said too with full cognzance taken of hard times;
for if there ever was a time when men are driven
to think too much of the dollar problem, and who
accordingly need to be lifted out of themselves
to think of other things for change, that time
is now.
Attend Chautauqua, forget your troubles for
while and you will go back to your work with
new thoughts and new energy for the solution
of your problems.

We admit that those snowy white covers
and other fxin's that proud mothers use in the
baby carriages are just too dainty and pretty
and sweet for anything, but did these same proud
mothers ever stop to think how beastly uncom-
Portable they are for the baby's eyes, and just
what the future result on those same eyes may
be- Just try it yourself! Spread white sheet
right out in the blazing sun and sit on one corner
where you'll be forced to have the glare of the
whiteness coming right up in your face and just
see how long you can comfortably sit there. And
the baby, poor little creature, can't get away.
If we didn't have million other things to do
we'd start crusade against white things in the
front of baby cabs and against piling all the fam
" groceries, cotton bats mas new hat, the week $
mail, and the days meat supply in the baby bug
gy on top of sons or daughters feet. 4 that
buggy was bought for the kid, let him use it!
Don't fuss it all up and don't crowd him away
up in one corner so that your can make delivery
wagon Of the thing. Buy an express wagon and
use it as trailer! We certainly feel right sorry
for some Of these wee bits of humanity who are
being put upon! -.s.a.s.

THE BoRDER-L1NE OF BROTHERHOOD

Three thousand miles of border-line one hun

In all the page of history, what parallel to this
In times when warning nations thoughts are
crazed with hates hot wine,
How God must look with pleasure down upon
4 that border-line.
r
From Maine it run, through lake and stream to
Manitoba's plain,
From Winnipeg to Kootenai, on, on, and on
again;
Through farm and ranch and forest range, Ger
mountain, crag, and steep,
To far Vancouver's garden home by broad Paci-
fc sweep.
Three thousand miles Of border-line, two ma
lions side by side, z@-
Each strong in common motherhood and Anglo
Saxon pride;
Yet each the haven and the home for all of
foreign birth,
And each their final fusion-point, the melting
pot of earth.
Three thousand miles Of border-line, nor fort,
nor armed host,
On all the frontier neighbor ground from east
to western coast;
A spectacle to conjure with, thought to stir
the blood, <
A living proof to all the world Of faith in
brotherhood
Three thousand miles of border Line, nor has
a century
Seen aught along this common course but peace
and harmony.
Oh, nations bound i'm brotherhood! oh, faith in
fellow man! ..
What better way on earth to dwell than this
God-given plan?
Three thousand miles Of border-line, one hun

In all the page of history, what parallel to this
God speed that surely dawning day, that COM
ing hour divine,
When all the nations of the earth shall boast
such border-line.

Here and There
By F. w. Fitzpatrick,

In a dozen Of our larger cities, not
ably Chicago, a very marked and
healthy tendency is noted showing
that the people are firing of apart
ments and are building small homes in
the outlying districts.
1t was timely move. In 1890 50
per cent of us, the people of the Unit
ed States, lived in rented houses and
flats; in 1910, IS per cent and 1922
will show that "a per cent are so dimi-
ciled, the great proportion in flats or
apartments. And the sense Of home
is being dulled at just about the same
ratio. The lack Of real homes is hav-
ing effect upon our families, adding
to our divorce cases, disintegrating
our citizenship. The question Of
housing has become an important one,
not only the supplying of adequate
! domiciles, but the kind of homes that
are being provided call for state study
and a propaganda suggesting real
homes.
It was thought that after the war
there would be great influx of peo-
pie from war-ridden Europe, people
who would supply us with domestic
help. But, wisely, the government
has put the soft pedal upon promiscu-
Gus and swapping immigration, SO

Before the next Farm Bureau picnic is held
in Ramsey State Park it might be we'll to con-
slider two things-one, the use of raised plat
form for the speakers and the other the park
ing of cars at sufficient distance from the
speakers platform so that the starting Ford
doesn't drown the words of wisdom. 1t takes a
stronger voice than the average or woman
has to hold ones own in opposition to the noise
that Henrys favorite child put up upon ocas-
sion.

President Reed of the Farm Bureau has per-
sonality, splendid command of language and
the platform presence necessary to a good public
speaker. But greater than all of these is his
consciousness of the rghtness of the organization
for which he stands, his belief that it is to do
great things for American agriculturists and his
clear thinking of how this good is to be brought
about Every word he says inspires or renews
confidence in the Farm Bureau Federation, and
the federation is most fortunate in having man
of Mr. Reeds calibre at it's head.

There is no word in the English vocabulary
strong enough to express the contempt right
thinkers feel for the sort of politics that involve
an individuals religious principles with his seek
ing for an office. Most frequently this is done,
not because of the candidate but in spite of him
and the result is nauseating. When the slim
little black animal with strips down his back sees
one of these religio-politicos approaching, he
slides sadly away, murmurng II don't see what's
the use of ME!'

OUR CHAUTAUQUA
(By Grant O. G.. Rahn)

n EDWOOD FALLS impresses every visitor
X with the fact that it's citizens so we'll
know, namely, that this is assuredy an up
to-date progressive little American city. With
her park unsurpassed for beauty, with her we'll
paved streets, her ornamental lighting system,
automatic telephone and all the other convent
ences and improvements that go to make urban
life desirable, Redwood Falls holds position
that we'll be the envy Of cities far larger than
this.
But there is one respect in which even so ,ex-
ceptional a community as Redwood Falls not
cope with larger cities, except by united and con-
centrated effort. And that is in the matter of
high class entertainment Ordinarily speakers,
musicians and entertainers Of real worth do not,
for obvious reasons, come to cities of this size.
Ordinarily cities Of this size are more than bless
ed :? with cheap trash; but Redwood Falls has long
since ceased to be Mecca for such entertainers.
Thru period Of years it has acquired taste for
such entertainment from the stage and platform,
as has deep and abiding value. Realizing that
stage and platform folk Of note do not come to
cities of this size, progressive citizens have thru
the Lyceum and Chautauqua Bureau, gone out
to bring to the city speakers musicians and en-
tertainers who could contribute something to the
lnCellecCuaI, social ana moral the COM
munty: OF such value to the heart life Of the
community have the Lyceum and Chautauqua
courses proven to be that they have for years
been, and it is hoped for years will be, permanent
institutions of this place. "Sad indeed" would
be the comment upon the status of public spirit
should the time come when citizens would see
fit to relinqush their hold upon institution
which has such an influence toward the higher
values in life upon so many people.
The lives of all of us are Of necessity filed
to a greater or less extent with the struggle to
make money. But as necessary and as laudable
as this pursuit is, there few things which mar
row the vision of mems souls and make them hard
and self conferred as does the constant struggle
for gold. It is so easy for all of us to fall into
this rut of living for little else than the dollar
that we need something now and then to remind
us that there are other and higher values in life
than those preceded by the dollar sign. And
this refreshment Of valses to our hearts and
minds an institution like Chautauqua surely
brings Peculiar indeed would be that individual
who could attend whole Chautauqua program
without becoming to greater or less extent q
nam Of viewpoints changed for the better with re-

From now on there will be no doubt that, in the
judgment Of the people Of the County, woman
is best fitted to be superintendent Of rural
schools. The County will not Of course fail to
