Senator Magnus Johnson valves aside the
idea that he is out to run for governor of Mime

being stampeded for him. He wants to stay in
the United States senate. He likes mis- job
Fond as he was of the great open spaces oil Min

rooms are alluring. The friend of the common
people, the victorious candidate of the farmer
labor party finds comfort in what used to be
called the "millionares' club" And Magnus has
thus far ornamented his surroundings. Those
who expected him to below until the chamber

These are trying days for both the teachers
and the pupils in the grade schools of Redwood
Falls the time calls for a large patience on the
part of every and most of all on the part OF
the parents. Teachers handicapped as one
who has never taught school cannot realize by
the strange surroundings, the broken hours, and
the inadequate facilities and equipment. The best
that could possibly be done under the conditions
Mr.. Hargis and the Board of Education have done.
But at the best the rooms in which the children
must attend school are not suited for school pur-
poses; some of them are not properly ventilated
for occupancy several hours at time, others are
not well lighted, blackboard space is lacking in
some-many things that cannot be remedled are
wrong with these quarters which must DC used
for the remainder of this year and next year, pro-
badly until January first at least Children and
teachers both are under considerable strain, too
from the changed hours which mean school for
longer sessions. All this means nerve strain and
it is bound to show. The home right here, can
do much to help. Seeing that the children spend
out of doors much of the time that they are not
in school will help. Seeing that Johnny and Jane
eat fair-sized breakfast including a big glass
of milk, before they leave for their "eight to
tweve-twenty'' session will help lot. bit of
fruit or sandwich to be eaten at the md-ses-
sion recess will also help the dispositions which
have such big bearing discipline Mothers
insisting that there shall be some home prepara-
ton where school study periods have Of necessity
been omitted will also help much. Abstaining
from scolding about the changed meals hours, toe,
will make the youngsters take little more kind
" to the changed regime and make them feel at
home in it. There are many ways parents can
help school authorities and the teachers to do
the best for the children under these undesirable
conditions None of US want the childrens school
work to suffer nor their health to be impaired be-
cause fine new building is being erected for
them. Now it is up to us-very much up to us!

The Republican district convention al Man
kato last Friday sought to recognize the Amer
can Legion when it selected Attorney Ell; Lund
as one of the district delegates to the Cleveland
convention This was well accomplished, Tor Mr..
Lund is strongly representative of the true
spirit Of the American Legion to be chosen by
the district organization as its commander. Typi-
flying the American Legion Mr.. Lund must es-
sentially be good American, and being good
American it stands to reason that he is mighty
good Republican.-Luverne Herald.
Redwood Falls is gratified at the election of
Attorney Lund to the national delegation for
several reasons; of them is that he is the
brother Of Mrs. G. l.. Grapp of city and an
other is that he will be of the representatives
of the American Legion at the Cleveland conven-
ton.

A Montevideo dealer in farm implements
carried four full page advertisements in recent
issue of the lMontevideo News. Every page was
filled with interesting store news and offers that
could be depended upon to stimulate business
The Montevideo territory has been hit pretty
hard in recent years, its farmers suffering because
they are largely wheat growers and the failure
of several of the towns industries and the clos
ing of two banks being severe blow And yet
here is dealer in farm implements who does not
take the attitude adopted by so many small towr
merchants at this time that "the people won't
buy" but who aggressively attacks the problem
and thru four full pages Of real store news talks
to his prospective customers so loudly that he
knows they are going to hear him.-Northfeld

A FUTILE HATRED.

Bill Smith, he hated Henry Brown.
And laid awake all night,
Continuing mean unholy things
In his remorseless spite;
He was afraid to go to sleep
For fear he might forget
Some angle of his hatred deep,
Or some fierce epithet.
But Henry Brown, he lost no sleep
Because he would not hate;
He lived in calmness and content,
And peace was his estate.
So all Smiths hatred came to naught
Except that he grew thin,
While Henry Brown slept gladly on
AS if it had not been.

DANCING TO THE MUSIC.
(By Gunnar Bjornson)

(By Gunnar Bjornson)
WYE have much these days about moral lax
W From press and platform, pulpit and
pew, comes the Same lament, that the morals O.
the people have never been worse than just now.
They tell us that the young beng brought
up without restraint and that the parents of to-
day are lacking in the sense Of responsibility that
is so essential in those charged with the care of
the young.
One says that the schools are to blame, an
other that the church has ceased to Junction. the
third that society is 'off its base, but all
to take special delight in throwing their harpoons
into the home.
To blame the homes, individually and collec-
lively is the light occupation" that many take
delight in pursuing.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1924-03-19

-HROUGH this multiplicity of teachings,
through all this dynamiting of the old pill
lars and foundation stones, it is no wonder
that society has lost it's balance. 1t is no won
der that things are topping, wonder that
the structure rocks to and fro, wonder that
men know not where to CO. where to seek pro
lection and shelter when everywhere vandals are
wrecking the temple and robbers are looting the
sanctuary!
Loose thinking is the seed from which all
this field of foul weeds has sprung!
Men and women have ceased to think IN
terms of God and righteousness and have begun
to think in terms of doubt and questioning. They
hear the admonition to "try all things" but they
forget the command to "hod fast to that which
is true
Society has placed question mark after
God and the Bible, after Right and Wrong, after
True and False.
1t is loose thinking-and it is this loose
thinking that has resulted in the abundance OF
crime that we see about u.s.
n UT, you say, what about the home?
X Is not the home responsible for all this :?
- Should not the home do more than it does
for it's Inmates? ?"
Bless you, yes!
But what is home!
A place where father and mother renew ac
quaintance occasionally and the children sleep
when they can spare the time from the dance
and the movie
That's what "home" is coming to-f it has
not already got there.
So, of course, it is quite proper to lay the
whip on the home, to seek to punish it for what
it has "come to-
But stop! Is not the home part of society?
We grant that there was time when VIC
could say that society what the homes com
posing it made it. But that is no longer true
The home today is what society has made it,
r. VERY woman must belong to so many clubs
to be fashionable, every man must spend
- SO many evenings out at his lodges and clubs
if he expects to continue in the upper circle
If you say: "Away with society; will de
vote myself to my home and my children" what
happens?
Well just this Society is foxy old bird
and what it does not accomplish in one way it
will in another
If it not "get" you, it will get the chill
dren that you devoting yourself to and which
you try to nurture and shield to the best of your
ability.
It's simple game Your child is human
1t likes to be in the swim. In short, it likes to
be in society. And society's traps are all laid
and we'll covered.
Why can't we have home life such as we had
forty and fifty years ago? you say.
Well, simply because the telephone, the auto
mobile, the radio, the movie and a thousand and
one other things, that have come into being since
those days, will not permit you to have it that
way.
Society is drunken joy-ride and you, as
one of the inmates of the car, will have to stay
right where you are-or get run over
A simile in the Technology of superstition
Society is ghost of our own raising, that has
grown in strength that can not lay it, and
threatens to ride us to our own destruction
And SO dance all to the music of society
conscious in many cases of the evil spirit of
which we are holden, but universally too tmid
to throw off the yoke. . -
