NEW YORK, January 23.-Traf1ic'
That is the problem that is agitatinG
practically every business man and
city official in this country. Each
community is working on it's own
solution, but the steps taken SO far
have not kept pace with the increase
in congestion. The present year Will
present additional difficulties, al
though in some cities those difficult
ties bid fair to be overcome.
Nearly one-third of the police
forces of the larger centers are now
devoted to the direction of traffic.
the efforts OF the men so employed
are not devoted to slowing down the
mace OF the vehicles which traverse
each street, but toward speeding IL
Dp. Speed regulations devised when
the automobile was novelty are
now regarded as obsolete and are as
regularly broken as the biue laws or
Connecticut set up in Roger Williams
time.
New York. Philadelphia, Chicago
and other large cities have ordinances
limiting the speed of all vehicles,
but a motorist who conformed to
those regulations certainly would be
Iongue-lashed by every traffic cop he
passed and might be arrested for OBJ
structing traffic. \ traffic officer who
IS not able to move vehicles through
the section he regulates at more
than twenty miles an hour is not
regarded as performing his duty.
Railroad men and manufacturers
are urging "store door delIE cry" of
freight and the removal of freight
yards beyond the city limits as a
measure to relieve congestion OF
heavy loads on business streets,
while subway and elevated roadways
are under consideration in Il score OF
cities

The Revival of the Hoe

The peculiar conditions affecting
the corn crop this season have had
the effect of bringing that old and
not always loved instrument, the hoe,
out of the tool house of oblivion
where it has lain so long. Far-sightei
and energetic farmers in the corn
belt have foreseen the corn crop facts
which were promulgated yesterday
by the Department of Agriculture.
According to the department the
crop will be over half billion BUSH
els short of the 1923 crop. That
means a high price for corn and
demand for corn of quality.
The protracted spring has delay
ed the corn over wide areas and has
given the weeds an opportunity for
growth that makes their eradication
by mechanical cultivators less effici-
ent than usual. Progressive bust
ness men and farmers in the corn
belt were not slow to sense the sit
uation and the result has been the
return of the hoe to a degree not
seen for generation on the farms.
There is no instrument more deadly
to weeds than the hoe. In fact, were
it not for the physical labor involv-
ed in its use, and the size of the corn
fields, it is unlikely that mechanical
ingenuity would ever have offered a
substitute for that primitive yet
most efficient implement.
With the present price and crop
prospects, the fact remains that the
hoe will pay big dividends this year.
The farmer who resnrrects the for
gotten hoe from its sepulcher is GER
tain to make q substantial profit, in
that he win have larger and better
yields. Much Of eur prosperity this
year rests With the hoe.

Anent the errors which are bound to creep
into reports of election results, exemplifed
in the Davis-Olson recount recently made, the
Minneapolis Journal very aptly says:
'The Kansas plan of having double
sets of judges and counting the ballots
received at the end of each hour, is
worth considering as cure for some of
our electoral troubles. It produces COM
plete totals soon after the polls close,
and does not require tired and sleepy
judges to labor through the night
with the resultant liability to error. 1t
is said to cost no more than the anti
quated system in use in Minnesota"

A mans job is his best friend It clothes
and feeds his wife and children, pays the rent
and supplies them with the wherewithal to de-
velop and become cultivated. The least man
can do in return is to love his job. A mans
job is grateful. It is like little garden that
thrives on love. 1t will one day flower into fruit
worth while, for him and his to enjoy. If you
ask any successful man the reason for his max
ing good, he will tell you that first and fore
most it is because he likes his work; indeed, he
loves it. His whole heart and soul are wrapped
up in it. His whole physical and mental ener-
gies are focused on it. He walks his work, talks
his work; be is entirely inseparable from his
work, and that is the way every man worth
his salt ought to be If he wants to make Of his
work what It should Be, and make Of himself
what be wants t. be.-Ssuster Arthur Copper.

REAL EDUCATION

THE definition Of education now generally
accepted runs: "Act or process of educat>
ing The importation or acquisition of
knowledge, skill, or discipline. The totality of
the qualities acquired through individual nstruc-
ton, social training, etc." Teaching is much
stressed, but learning is not mentioned.
The difference between teaching and learn
ing is that between hearing and knowing. The
habit of being taught is quite apart from the
habit of learning. The one implies informa-
-tion; the other knowledge The one is an 9TH
er's knowledge; the other is the beginning of
wisdom. The habit of learning will lead to an
education. The her-taught pupil may be
helpless; the farm-learned boy never is.
Pupils of the little red schoolhouse were
largely untaught, but studied for what they got,
wAich was little enough but the necessity Of
iaxuing it for themselves formed the habit that
ieter educated them.

Only 20 of the 104 farmers who
suffered losses had any tornado in
surance, and in most cases this COW
cred only fraction of the loss. 1t
is estimated that 80 of the 104 farm
ance SO they can go ahead without
help, leaving IA who must have some
assistance. In some cases, the farms
and buildings were so heavily mort
gagged that the farmers cannot bor-
row any more money for new build
ings. In some cases where farms
were rented, the loss of machinery,
live stock, furniture and crops wiped
out everything the renter owned.
The State Board of Relief has
contributed $4,000. Under the law,
this can only be used for the most
urgent relief, such as temporary
shelter. The county commissioners
have appropriated $4,000 in Lyon
County, $4,000 in Lincoln County
and $4,000 in Murray County for i'm
mediate needs.
The funds needed for permanent
rehabilitation of the storm victims
must come from voluntary contribu-
tons by individuals and organiza-
tions. The Red Cross officials, after
consulting with local committees,
have estimated that 100000 is need
ed for this purpose. No attempt will
be made to reimburse anyone for his
total losses, simply to give those
who are unable to finance themselves
an amount sufficient to put them on
their feet and keep them going util
they are again able to function as
self-supporting and producing men,

If all the counties in the state will
contribute to this fund, upon a basis
of a little more than IL cents per
capita, the amount upon each will
not be large and the sum can be rails

One day last week, while in one of Red
wood Falls business places we noted bills ad-
vertising seven barn and town-hall dances, all
within easy automobile distance Of Redwood
Falls We have no reason for thinking that any
of these dances is not properly supervised by
township officers, that the promoters of each
is not abiding in every instance by all the rules
of the state law. Neither do we assume for q
minute that any one young person in this vi
cinity is attending all of these dances. But we
do know-or at least We know as positively as
one ever knows from hearsay that many Of
the young people are attending them. 1t stands
to reason they are-if there were no attendance
there would be money-no money; no dance!
They ARE attending! Now the point is this,
who is chaperoning these yeungsters-and every
body up to twenty-one years of age is young
ster in this particular-on the long rides to and
from these dances; who is making absolutely sure
that your son your daughter is not being Of
fered drink of the deadly moonshine which even
the most careful supervision can not, in ali
cases, keep from appearing at these places? We
come back to the same old argument-that the
responsibility for all minors and for their well
fare rests with the parents and it behooves each
Of us to carry our own personal share of that
responsibility. In this connection the following
little paragraph from the Montevideo News Is
pregnant with meaning
"Charles vasaly superintendent of the
state reformatory at ST. Cloud, finds
that the percentage of high school and
college graduates being received at the
reformatory is increasing year by year.
He blames attendance at public dances
fifty and one hundred miles from home,
with the trip made by automobile, for
part of the increase. The public must
BE aroused 10 the need Of moral train
ing"

COOLIDGE AND THRIFT

ECONOMY, says President Coolidge, and then
more economy. So may it be! And it
can be. There is no doubt of that
The President was addressing the business
heads of the Government in conference at the
close OF the fiscal year. Those heads of SPEND
ing agencies were entitled to measure of COM
mendation, for, under the budget system. they
have saved money to the Government during the
past three fiscal years. Because of the Bonus
Law, it has been assumed about Washington that
no considerable surplus could be accumulated dur
ing the fiscal year now beginning-not more than,
perhaps, $25,O00,000. President Coolidge told the
heads of bureaus ,that the surplus must be at
least $1080O00 00 which is $83 900 900 more than
had been expected.
The President does not at all overestimate
the possibility of saving theoretically, at least
ne greatly underestimates it. The sum of money
spent at Washington each year which should
not be spent greatly exceeds the sum named by
the President. Whether in practice greater
saving than the one named could be Immediately
effected is question, and the President can ap-
proxlmate the correct answer more closely than
the rest OF us. One evident fact, however, is
that he is not to be satisfied with any one saw
ing, but will drive ahead on his policy of econ
omy then more and more of the same

PROTECT THE DEER
.HE Grand Rapids ald-Review has start

"HE Grand Rapids Herald-Revew has start
ed a campaign to protect the deer of this
= state.
1T says, the governor has power by execu-
tive order to say that there shall be no oper
season on deer this fall, though under the law
there will be an open season, with much killing,
unless the governor acts.
Last year there was no open season on deer.
The deer, therefore, save for some illicit kill
ing, have had season in which to increase their
stock without interference from hunters.
But the only increase, of course, as the Her.
ald-Review points out, is in the young deer. The
1922 crop of fawns has had two years to grow,
and the 1928 stock has had one year. The Her.
ald-Review fears for this hopeful supply of young
deer if the law providing for an open season this
year is carried out.
One appealing point made by this newspa-
per neighbor is that year without shooting
has made the deer tame and therefore easy TO
XIII. The idea is that, year having gone by
without killing, the deer have come to trust
mankind, and to forget the enmity of former
years. II the deer reasoned about it as humans
mignt' they would. be thinking that men had
abandoned their queer practice of running
around the woods killing deer, and that hereaf-
ter men and deer are to live peacefully side by
side.
And then if there is an open season this
confidence and trust will be rudely shattered
by rain of bullets on the first day of the hunt
ing season.
The Herald-Review is getting some support
IN its plan, though many hunters seem to take
offense at every suggestion of stopping their
sport, even for while to make it better later
on. 1t would be interesting to hear what sports
men-men genuinely interested in real sport, not
just kiilng-think OF the proposal to extend last
years closed season to cover this season also
