ing, to Senator Lodge, especial Az
view of the expressed confidence of
Magnus that, though his diction may
not be on the same high plane as that
of the Massachusetts, statesman, he
is sure he can make Mr.. Lodge under
stand him.
Speculation will be active as to
what Magnus will offer as "plan." 1t
is perfectly safe to predict that his
proposals will be practical and not in
any way those of rainbow chaser"
He has chance to emphasize a point
that has been too much overlooked by
the advocates of peace and American
participation in world affairs, and
that is that, quite apart from idealistic
and humanitarian considerations, it
is to the advantage in a superlative
degree of the self-interest of the peo-
pie of the United States, from the
standpoint of dollars and cents to
have contented and working Europe
and a peaceful world with which to
trade. There have been many signs
that the people of the northwest and
the wheat farmers of the prairies are
coming to realize this more and more.
MagnuS Johnson Will perform
real and great service to his neigh
bors on the plains and to the whole
country if he will, while making Mr..
Lodge understand him, also make in
creasing numbers of Americans see
that they cannot sell things to i'm
poverished nations, or collect debts
from them, and that peoples ruined
by the ravages of past wars and de-
pressed by fears of new ones are not
profitable customers.
Even if he offers no plan that the
Senate will approve, he will do a
valuable stroke of work if he leads
increasing numbers of individuals, and
some of his fellow statesmen, to act
on the truth that it is not only to
the best final interests Of men and ma
tons to be honest and of good will,
but it also pays right now.

The club women who were taking member
ships in the recent Red Cross Roll Call were, in
several instances, much interested to know that
many of the business men in Redwood Falls have
all their bills paid by their wives At least when
these men were asked to renew their memberships
they calmly stated "My wife attends to paying all
those things for the family" And when the wives
were called upon they just as calmly stated that
"My husband has been down town about
this" Some families must be wonderful poker
players-they are all so good at passing

Somebody made quart or so of illicit booze
and somebody furnished it to Eddie Larson, and
by those illegal acts three men died in Alexandria
last Friday night; two wives were made widows;
four children were left orphans; young man
who was the only Douglas county boy over the
draft age to enlist for service in the World war,
had his life cut off before it reached its prime;
a peaceable "good fellow" was made mailman
and hunted to his death; aged mother was
brought to her bed in shame and agony and may
never arise again; and family lost its home and
all it's worldly possessons;all solely because some
body violated the Eighteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States and turned an
ordinarily peaceable citizen into a wild beast; a
murderer, who had to be hunted down like any
other wild beast and done to death by his neigh
bors and townsmen who had known him for years
as good average sort Of citizen. And in that
ghastly man hunt, one of the hunters became the
hunted and shot down by his friends-his
pals. pa Alexandra Echo.

The advertising account of the Dayton Com
pany in Minneapolis has averaged $25,000.00 per
month during the past few months. This may
account for the fact that new accounts from the
trade territory of Redwood Falls are constantly
being opened with the Dayton Company as we
were recently told they are. One small town
merchant said not long ago that his advertising
last year cost him $14.87 and he couldn't see
that it done his business mite of good" We are
not surprised.

Thanksgiving Day we attended SER

church. This is the place of worship
chosen by President Coolidge and fam
lily. 1t is one Of the oldest church or
CARNATIONS in the city and has one of the
finest pipe organs and choirs. The presi-
dent is accompanied by a guard both in
advance and following Immediately after
him. His pew is in the central part of
the body of the church. AS his esscort
approaches the entrance of the church
the pastor arises to his feet and is follow
ed by the entire congregation all of whom
remain standing until he is seated. This
church gives free entertainments such as
concerts, lectures, etc., every week. AS
there is no admittance fee the person of
limited means is afforded an opportunity
to enjoy first-class entertainment at any
time. 1t is not cheap affair by any
means. Talent is brought here from
New York, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Chic
ago and other points and the expense is
met by the church society. The choir of
the church is made up of local talent and
some of its members are of an exception
ally high order of talent

One business man in Kansas has figured it
out that since hating the Catholics, the Jews and
the Negroes is concomtant with being 100 per

He therefore has had sign hung up in his place
announcing that he is 200 per cent American

Prohibition law enforcement will be the
paramount issue in the coming presidential CAM
paign, according to Governor Pnchot. William
G. McAdoo knows otherwise; in his eyes it will
be Government regulation of the railways. For

of Nations. Senator Underwood thinks the cam
pagn will be waged around the tariff. Despite
all these opinions, however, genuine tax reduction
and governmental economy would probably APP

/ used to think that to be country editor
was to be a great man and to be one my sole
ambish. I never intended to master the profesh
and get rich, because Rockefeller, SHINES, Nor
gan & Co. are all shining examples of rich men
and they have no real friends like country edi-
tor has They sometimes give away millions of
dollars out of the goodness of their heart, and
then the public will say "wel pay for this when
we buy gas next week." But the real philanthro-
pist is the country editor who gives away to two
thousand readers each year paper for $500 that
costs him $3.50 to produce. The tender MEM
cries of the generosity of this genial genius will
linger in the community long after his ashes
cease to fertilize niche in that gruesome spot in

go ahead pretty fast if you catch up with Iowa.

were very much surprised at the ex-
cellent system of roads that prevail here.
Down in central Iowa, our former home,
we have excellent roads when they are
good, but horrible roads when they are
bad.
"A light sprinkle makes the highways
slippery, a shower makes them difficult
of travel and heavy downpour makes
them practically impossible. Consequ-
emily we have always had to read the
weather reports, study the sky and seek
advice from all of our old-timers who had
years of weather observation to their
credit before we attempted to make a
journey of many miles. But road condi-
tions are improving there. Some coun-
ties are paving their main highways, 9TH
ers are crawling and it will be but few
years until they have good system.
''We were very greatly pleased when
we learned that roads around Sleepy Eye
and the vicinity were graveled. We are
glad that the state in which we are To-
Gated is one with far-sighted policy
for building and maintaining roads"
