TED DID HELP

THESE people who trying to fasten re-
sponsibility on Mr. Christensen Tor the
4 high taxes that prevail and say that ne as
chairman of the committee appropriations
should have lowered taxes seen to forget some
essential things.
For instance, they forget that Mr.. CHI lstian-
son and his committee cut the appropriations
asked for in various bills and budgets more than
fifteen million dollars in the session Of 1923.
They forget that Theodore Christianson is
responsible for the law that took away from
the Department of Education of the State the
right to demand of any school district that it
build new school houses whenever it pleased the
department to say that the old not
good enough
They forget that Theodore Christianson in
troduced and championed the Rural Credits bill
that is now law and which makes for cheaper
money for the farmer.
They forget hundred and other things
wherein Theodore has stood for the interests of
the people in the line of lower taxes ana better
government.
The statement that Ted Christensen has
not helped to keep down taxes is as false it
is dishonest and the and only purpose for
which it is made is to deceive
But in these later days people are becoming
accustomed to hearing good men revled and
political shysters praised.-Minneota Mascot.

Take an evening or Sunday afternoon and
wander about the town and look at the homes
and other buildings that need painting. Really
folks, its just scandalous! There are more gray
looking, dreary, haf-painted, partly painted and
not painted-at-all residences in this town this
spring than we have seen before in all the thir-
teen years we have been here. A lot of people
are saying that the times hard and that paint
costs money. So does depreciation on implanted
buildings. In nine out of ten it's pure care
lessness and laziness. And we hate to think of
the impression this down -at-the-heel condition
is going to make visitors this summer.
Redwood Falls is the city of average homes
we have few outstanding show places, but ali
homes are comfortable and neat, symbols of just
the common, everyday kind of folks that make
our town the nice liveable place it is. Fer that
reason each one, even the most modest cottage,
must be kept up to the best of it's appearance or
the general average" will slump like the dickens
Take walk, folks, and think it over. We don't
know of anything that brings bigger returns in
satisfaction than the check we give to the paint
man.

War on Spooning

A resolution against motor ca1
spooning was passed by the federated
clubs of Olmsted. county at the close
of an all-day session held at Rochest-
er Friday after long discussion about
what the clubs could do to cope with
immortality in the community.
The resolution passed asserts that
motor car spooning is cause for
the increasing delinquency o. minors
and has been to a large exten. re-
sponsible for the increase of illegiti-
macy during the last five years IN
our state" and pledges the women
of the Olmsted County Federated
clubs to do everything in their power
to check it through education of the
parents and enforcement of the law.
Mrs. George Allen appointed the
presidents of all the clubs of the
county as a committee to consider
the problem and to work out a
scheme for lessening or abolishing

The Heart of the Tree

What does he plant who plants tree!
He plants the friend of sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty, towering high;
He plants home to heaven anigh
For song and mother-croon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard
The treble of heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain.
And seed and bud of days to me,
And years that fade and flush again;
He plants the glory of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest Of a coming age
The joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants tree:
He plants, in sap and leaf, and wood,
In love of home and loyalty
And forecast thought of civic good
His blessings on the neighborhood
When in the hollow of His hand
Holds all the growth of all our land
A Nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs in his heart who plants tree.

SPEEDING

WYE used to know it was spring when we
M saw robin pulling an anglewoim out
W the bosom of his family-how we kno"
it is spring when motorcycle cop pulling
a summons out of his pocket.
We used to glide along the boulevards OF,
bright days and gaze at the scenery, but now
we can't the scenery any more; our view is
blocked by countless informal receptions held
beside the curb of motorcycle cops and motorists
who were going only twenty miles an hour! Yes,
sir!
No speeder ever goes over twenty miles an
hour = we'll at any rate, not over TWEEN
ty-fve He is being prosecuted by the cops
that's ALL They pick on him, and wher he tries
to tell them the truth they won't believe him
Cops are so stupid that way All they know
how to do is to sneak up you from behind and
hand you summons.
Now, if a speeder only knew how TO handle
a cop, he need never get a summons. All he
needs is few new alibis. The old ore about
hurryng home to sick wife or child, or the one
about the broken speedometer, is no treat to the
cop.
What the speeder should do for instance, is
to turn his collar around real quickly and say:
81 am a minister and l am hurrying to fun
eral," and then if the cop says: swell, what's
the rush ?" he answers 81 am afraid the corpse
won't wait" While the cop is trying to figure
that out you can step on the gas and go away
from there.
The real speeder, though, is curse. He is
the one who keeps his cut-out open days and the
coroner's office open nights. He wouldn't be so
bad if he would only kill himself and then stop,
but he kills others and keeps going. We heartily
recommend that the confirmed speeder be electro
cnted and if that doesn't stop him, he should
have his license taken away.
In closing we would like to submit few
tasty epitaphs for speeders:
