Here's Another

A reader who enjoyed the "tail'
story recently printed in The Com
panion under the title: Sportsmen
Beat This! sends US a yarn told by
"The Old Timer" in the Magazine of
Fun. Here it is:
I was out fer meat one mornin'
didn't care what kind. Bout noon
set down at the foot of a tree and ate
my lunch; l set while, and then
went to sleep. l don't know how long
/ slept, but I walked up mighty sud-
den, thinkin' the alarm clock was GO
in off.
Bout six feet in front Of me was a
nice fat rattlesnake with his tail

to clip his head, when out o. the brush

Jest as 1 was sightin' the deer the

out of the brush on tother side comes

from these four rooms must crowd into the other
halls which are narrow and dark and down stair
WAYS which are too narrow for three children
abreast to safely descend. A real fire with real
smoke would mean the upsetting of all drill ar
rangements in ninety cases out of a hundred, and
the building is no place in which to stage
panic! We are not surprised that the Fire Cher
of Redwood Falls has spent much anxious thought
on this same problem.
We didn't see one thing Except the teachersD
jim our whole visit that would make child love
to 90 to school, We saw rotted floors, dingy
walls with cracked ceilings, and hanging plaster
in at least one place, an unattractive exterior
which always makes us go by on another street
when we are showing visitors the beauties OF
Redwood Falls, an arrangement OF basement
toilets which necessitates much extra confusion
that they may be reached by the children of both
sexes, and these Easements so low ceilinged and
poorly ventilated that their unsanitary condition
is appalling, rooms where children on one side
most sit in blazing light or the children on the
other side are plunged in darkness,-we saw all
this and came away -heartsick that the 'sBest The
Town Has" must remain in such unpleasant, in
adequate and unfit surroundings for at least the
remainder Of the year. We are not surprised
that the State Commission condemned the build
ing. We are only surprised that this condemna-
ton did not come at least ten years ago.
There will be many who will undoubtedly
think this picture is much overdrawn, who will
merely say newspaper talk and let it go at
that. We are not for a minute assuming that
any one will take our word for this state of at
fairs.--we are assuming that every voter in the
city Is sufficiently thoughtful on this matter these
days to make personal investigation. When
this is done there is small doubt but that each
of us will see why the Board of Education and
the State Commission finds that the building is
fit only for being wrecked and replaced by one
Commensurate with the status of Redwood Falls.
p S. When you make this visit go down
into the basement and get the janitor to demon
strate the condition of the pipes all through the
building. He has some first hand evidence on
the desireabity of a new building. And get him
to show you the shower baths! They are worth
special visit just to demonstrate to you all the
things that shower baths should not be
P. S. Again! An attorney at Lamberton
told us last week that Redwood Falls taxpayers
would do well to consider the possibility OF dam
age suits which would cost more than taxes Tor
many many years-and accomplish nothing but
grief. Since the building has been condemned
the District is responsible for any accident that
NAV occur from its dilapidated condition and IN
the Judgment of this disinterested lawyer who
is thoroughly conversant with the law this is
matter for very serious thought.

LEST WE FORGET


Still CLEAN the graves in Flanders Field,
And still crosses, row on row,
Remind us of the mighty dead
Who heard our cheers not long ago
Our hearts were high our eyes were wet
God, can it be, we should forget!
Amid the strife of hurried days,
With bitter business in the world,
Torn with wild hates, and Scared with fears,
And into selfish graspings hurled
We are no longer comforted
By the serene and faithful dead
Once more if we in heart might kneel
Beside those little mounds of peace
And feel the thrill of sacrifice
Where glories fade and strivings cease,
All, suddenly our souls might know ~
The conquering faith of Long Ago. -
-
Speak, Flanders Fields, to hearts that ache,
Stir once again mounting dream
To lead the weary wanderers home
Where love is throned and where the CLEAN
deathless service cleansed in blood
Lights human hopes to Brotherhood

The Redwood County Red Cross Roll Call
chairman, C. M. Bendixen, says that "next to the
Christian Church, the American Red Cross is the
greatest institution in the world" Not for one
minute would any thinking person dispute this
statement. Therefore it behooves each of us to
pay our annual membership fee in this great
organization with the same punctiliousness with
which we pay our church dues. Because it is
SO universal in its work, so free from all tradi-
tions of race or sect or section we should pay it
all the more willingly. Remember member
ships are not paid the County is not entitled to
part in the great national organization and we
can have no more Red Cross opportunities. 1t
isn't so much the dollar which is needed just now
as it is the moral support which you give when
you maintain your membership. The appointed
time for paying is between Armistice Day and
Thanksgiving. Let's make it snappy!

Congressman Fra

Congressman Frank Clague is blessed with
good political sense. He is big enough man to
fill the position of senator governor in this
state in most creditable manner, and many
overly ambitious men would jump at the chance
to run for one or the other of those higher posi-
tions. But Mr.. Clague, in our opinion, is wise
in deciding to remain at his post in Congress, if
the people of his district wish it. He is
ing his second term in Congress and he has made
a splendid record. He has been of real service
to his district and to the state and nation as
we'll. He can continue to be of increasing service
if he remains in Congress. The time may come
in the future when the call will be SO loud for
him to be advanced that he will not be able to
resist it. For the present he is wise in letting
well enough alone.-St. James Plaindealer.

The Gazette is this week publishing the Sec
ond of series Of fifteen special articles showing
the advantages of living in Minnesota and in
Redwood County, the industries, resources and
opportunities of this section of the state, and
giving much other interesting and educational
material about things on which we are all bit
vague. The first article dealt in general way
with Redwood County, the second one deals with
Minnesota as whole, being an outline of many
state features and attributes; the third will deal
with agricultural resources, and especially with
these resources as found within the borders of
Redwood County. The articles have. been pre-
pared by an experienced writer who has speci-
allied in this. sort Of work. We have enjoyed
them and found them to contain much valuable
matter-otherwse we should not have permitted
their publication in the Gazette. We trust the
favorable impression which several of our read
ers have told us the first article made, will be in
creased as the series continues.

The best argument we have yet heard for a
state constabulary lies in the news of the Mabel
and Klossner bank robberies of last week. When
towns be literally "held up with complete
ness which rivals the "shootn up the town" of
old western frontier days, it would seem time to
try some drastic remedies. Telephones and tele-
graphs of absolutely no use with the wires
cut; armed desparadoes not pleasant thing
to face in the night nor to try to elude SO that
somebody may do "Paul Revere" to the next
town. And village police are not exactly efficient
when it comes to stopping an exhibition of the
hardboiled use of dynamite on the part of the
visitors. Face the fact for our own town and
just see how helpless we would be in case bandits
decided to hold up. 1t is time all the towns in
the state banded together for their own defense.

The sooner we get it firmly fixed

and, compelled by old Mother Ne
