BRITISH OWE Us
IS PER CENT OF
DEBT OF EUROp Z
Will Pay Over 10 Million
Before She Is
Finished

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-All the
Indebtedness of foreign governments
to this government was contracted
during the world war. The money
loaned foreign governments by this
government was obtained from pro-
ceeds of sales of Liberty bonds to
Americans. The faith and pledge
Of the United States government to
redeem these bonds to American
taxpayers is baseo upon lie assump-
ton that foreign countries will re-
pay the United States the money
loaned them. In the event this is
not done the holders of Liberty
bonds must be paid by the United
States levying new taxes. In other
words, if Great Britain should fail
to pay this government the four
billion dollars loaned it Congress
would be compelled to levy a tax
upon all taxpayers raising four bill
lion dollars to meet the Liberty
bonds when due.
England Biggest Borrower
Great Britain was the largest
borrower from the United States
government. Her Indebtedness con
stitutes about 35 per cent of the
total foreign debt owed this govern
ment.
At the time the foreign loans were
made, war interest rates prevailed.
Interest rates have been greatly re.
duced, especially in this country,
since the war; This is illustrated
by the fact that the Federal Re
serve Bank discount rate at one
time was 7 1-2 per cent. 1t has now
been reduced to per cent or less,
Our Liberty bonds are being re-
funded7egradually alta -loMer,.,ra
OF interest. In peace times, the
United States government never
paid more than 3 per cent interest
on its bonds. There is every reason
to believe that within very few
years interest rates on United States
government bonds will resume that
level.
81 Years to Pays
The British government has 90
years under the debt funding plan
to pay off its Indebtedness to this
government at an interest rate that
will average for the entire period
approximately four per cent. If
Great Britain takes the full 62 years
in paying off its debt, it will, by
the time its last payment is made,
have paid the United States more
than ten billion dollars TO wipe out
the present debt of between four
and five billion. The following is
the latest compilation of the foreign
Indebtedness to this government. s.

Harry Hunter, dear to newspaper memory,
was once asked by a minister of the gospel,
"When you going to give as much space to
church services to ball games?" And he an
swered: "Just as soon as the churches have to
build bleachers"
Good philosophy that. And when will it be :?
Just as soon as churches begin to blaze and
flame with the passion of faith that sweeps
humanity onward. Just as soon as the pulpit
has a message that calls the souls of men to
spiritual combat. Just the preacher
speaks an unfettered word for the aspirations of
mankind.
Religion is the greatest thing in the world
when it is real and genuine.
But religion that fails in its human contacts,
and which stands voiceless in the presence of
human need is doomed.
The world today is hungry for the religion of
the human Nazarene. What was His gospel?
Oh, very simple one-so simple that we con-
stantly forget it. He founded it on this precept
sThou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and they neighbor as thyself. Larry Ho.

Well, anyway, Henry Ford can afford hnanci-
ally to pay for his living in the White House.
Maybe that's why SO many are for him-they think
that since he doesn't need the salary he'll just
leave it in the national exchecquer. In speaking
of Ford's possible candidacy for the highest of
fee, the Philadelphia Public Ledger recently said:
Henry Ford as president would be national
disaster He was born with one-alley mind.
Somehow the very averageness of him has hypno-
tized many average American brains. To the
restless uneasy and uncertain souls ne is child
of fortune; the man who broke the bank by
lucky throw; the man they might have been; one
of themselves with the miracle touch. They
feel rather than reason that somehow he might
work more miracles in the White House.
'The dancing mice" and the political moron
are Clipped" on Henry Ford. They want a new
and different kind of "boss." In day OF
crazes Henry Ford is new mania, and always
the insidious, strange, unrelenting, unremlttlng
Ford publicity flows smooth as OIL 1t is
easy to underestimate the effect of that smooth
and purring 1ow."

The latest piece of free publicity impudence

The latest piece of free publicity impudence
to come to the editors desk is long screed con-
corning the new Nicollet Hotel of Minneapolis
telling all about the beauties of the proposed
hotel, it's advantageous location, it's appeal to
Twin City visitors, and closing with the neatest
little paragraph you ever saw about the lovely
bonds which are being offered to grasping pub
lic Of all the nerve! And the thing came to
us with all the red tape of release date, and an
adroitly typed letter accompanied it, this letter
stating what real news item was being handed
us and all free, gratis for nothing! Some OF the
country papers may real news value in stuff
like that and run it free of charge requested.
We see only brazen request for about ten dol
lars worth of free advertising and since we are
over eighteen years of age, the thing went into
the waste basket while breathed an anathema
for it and all it's kind. We off the New Nicol-
let for life-even before it gets itself to going;
we are off any institution where the management
is so fagrantly "cheap" as the sender OF those
letters has proven himself We are for the old
style hotels like the West and the Curtis and the
Radisson and those others which recognize the
value of country paper advertising and are will
ing to pay the papers rate for service-and don't
do any talking back about it either.

We are awful

We are awfully fed up this "We-bow-glad-
ly-to-the-will of ajority" which lot of the
newspaper boys are spreading all over their
papers since the senatorial election. We bow be-
cause we must but we are tee-totally derned II
we are going to bow gladly or graciously or
gracefully or in any other way but with jerk!
We think the Worthington Times (Which has had
to do this Blowing" stunt along with the rest OF
us) has the Fighter way of looking at the matter.
The Times says without any stammering that
"There was absolutely more of a lesson to be
learned from Mondays election than from watch
ing a runaway team go down the street" And
who would GLADLY" stand, let alone bowling, and
watch that sort of performance?

It doesn't seem possible but this actually
happened in Faribault the other day;-a man
thanked policeman for arresting his son Tor
speeding and, in addition to his thanks, ne made
the following remark; Il am holding no grudge.
It's the best thing that ever happened | expect
to have the lad pay his own fine and keep his
word. Next time you catch him make it twice
as hard" When we have a few more Spartan
Pas like that Son won't be half so smarty. We
have bunch that that little idea of having the
speeder paw his own fine will be the most effec-
tive part of the punishment-it will probably call
to his attention the direct connection, in more
ways than one, between fines and gas

Now if ever is the time for weeds along
highways, fields, streets, etc. to be cut to prevent
them seeding for good crop next year. A re-
cent drive through Brown County showed US that
our neighbor has set US splendid example in
this respect and the contrast between the two
counties is marked. The farmers have some
little excuse-this is their busy time and they
are trying to do more work in twenty-four hours
of each day than they should reasonably expect
to do in twice that time But there is no reason
why residents of towns and villages should not
do their part and little bit extra in this matter
Some lots in Redwood Falls disgrace to the
city and double disgrace to the men who own
them.

We have heard many good bow-legged
stories but the best one we have heard was told
on recent (and pretty recent at that mayor OF

end in Northern Minnesota short time ago, and
the friend had had no warning of his arrival.
However as soon the ex-mayor got out OF MS
car said Northern Minnesotan came tearing across
an eighty acre lot saying, II thought recognlz-
ed those legs! The moral of this little anecdote
is that no man with legs like that should stand
on the skyline.

Continued from last week)
that night and treated them to a
feast of buffalo meat, in which, how
ever, they were greatly disappointed,
regarding it as tough and tasteless.
s'This disappointment arose, how
ever" Heating remarks, from the
circumstance Of it's being jerked Cor
sun-dried) instead Of fresh meat"
A short days journey during which
they crossed the Lac qui Parle and
Chippewa Rivers just above their
mouths brought the party to Lac qui
Parle, the French for the original
Indian name, "the lake that talks. "
Heating remarks that they were un-
able to discern any remarkable echo
in this vicinity which might have CIV
en- rise to it. Here they noticed a
number of graves of sort much
used by the Indians. The corpse
was placed in a very shallow grave,
or on the surface of the ground, and
roof of stakes constructed above
it to prevent the attack of wolves,
which were very common in the vi
cinity and which would dig the body
up if it were merely buried. In
spite Of the great strength of the
stakes some of the graves had been
broken open and their contents scat
tered.
At Lac qui Parle
The party pitched tents on hill
at the lower extremity of Lac qui
Parle, where they remained half a
day before proceeding to Big Stone
Lake. Two young wolves were seen
near Beaver Creek, which was the
name then given Lac qui Parle River,
and were easily caught by the SOL
diers, to whom a reward was Of
fered if they would carry them alive
to Mackinaw; but they made their
escape during the night. Heating re-
marks that Gin the dull monotony of
journey across the prairie, desti-
tute of interest and uninterrupted
by any incident, the capture of these
wolves created such a sensation in
the party as will not be readily con-
ceived by those who have not exper-
fenced how eagerly man seizes the
first opportunity of being relieved
from his own thoughts, when he has
been left to the uninterrupted ex-
ercise of them for a certain length
of time"
At the upper end of the lake, they
found that the Minnesota had lost
all its character as river; that it
vas mere rivulet twenty or thirty
feet wide, its waters stagnant and OBJ
structed by the growth of high grass
and wild rice. Before reaching Big
Stone Lake, they observed vast de-
posits of granite A very large
block had painted upon it, in red, cir
cles, crescents and crosses, consecrat-
ed to the sun, moon and stars-a
primitive altar at which the savage
Indian paused to offer his sacrifices
to the ruling spirits.
On the 22nd the party reached Big
Stone Lake. At the lower end OF
the lake was an Indian village con-

BY the election of j. R. Keefe and A. C.
Burmeister to the Redwood Falls Board OF Educa-
tion this organization kept the qualities of stren-
9Th and efficiency which have characterized it
during the recent years. Mr.. Keefe succeeds
himself on the Board and Mr.. Burmeister replaces
II. G.. Hubbard who voluntarily retired after a
long term of faithful and panstaking service.
It is well to have these two men members OF
the present Board. Sooner or later the problems
of more suitable building, which has been con-
fronting Redwood Falls for several months, must
be settled and probably by the Board now in
authority. Both of the men recently elected have
had wide knowledge of building, building costs,
etc. through their private enterprises, both are
public spirited plus and there is question con-
corning their absolute integrity where public af-
group of men and women equally efficient and
well equipped to handle the problems as they
arise. In our opinion Redwood Falls has done
well by herself And now, in the name of every
thing that constitutes decent behavior toward a
fellow being, having elected these men and women
as our representatives, let trust them and
leave them unhampered to do the thing which
seems to them best. At the most theirs is a
thankless job-endless work and many kicks!
We can't lessen the work for them but we can
limit the number of kicks. They are taxpayers,
are citizens with all of good citizens pride In
the old home town. They can be trusted to do
the good thing and the wise thing-the rest of
us can at least give them fair chance by keep
/ ing our hands off and our mouths shut.
