The members of the Parent-Teacher
Association were disappointed in not
having the opportunity to complete
their organization on the evening Of
December 21st, as prearranged, owing
to an extensive and interesting Christ
mas program, given by the school.
The numbers on the program showed
plainly the training and efficient eff
fort of the teacher, Miss Woerner.
The Association will meet again on
the evening of January 18th, with a
view to getting it in good working or
der.
Prominent educators of today are
laying much stress on the benefit Of
PARENT Teacher Associations to the
community in which they are organ
lied. Since cooperation in any good
movement is a step toward better cit
izenship, the combined influence of
teacher, school board and parents
ought to raise the educational stand
ard to high place in our country.
When it is considered that the teach
er has in her hands the training of
our children more hours of the day,
more days of the year and more years
of their lives than the parents them
selves, the Importance Of parents and
school board familiarizing them
selves with the work being done in
the schools is readily seen. On the
other hand, is it fair thing to leave
such a responsibility on the shoulders
Of a teacher without letting her know
in practical way that her honest eff
fort is supported by those to whom
she is responsible, not only for the
education Of, but also for the ideals
that will direct to what use that edu-
cation is put by their children.
The president Of our P. T. A., Geo.
S. Elliott, is deeply interested in the
Association and it is hoped it will be
benefit to the community as well as
social pleasure.

In post-election statement Floyd B. Olson
declares that the farmer-labor party is stronger
than ever" and that it polled $4,000 more votes
than it did in 1922.
Exact figures are not available, but taking
nearly complete unofficial totals for the recent
election, it is apparent that the republican party
gained twice as many votes as the farmer-labor
party, compared with 1922.
Republican candidates for governor and I'm
tied States senator polled average vote this
year of 391, 913, compared with an average OF
275, 795 for the same offices in 1922 an increase
of 1918.
Farmer-labor candidates for these offices
polled an average of 369,445 this year compared
with 31O426 in 1922, or an increase OF 5000.
The democratic vote was about cut in two
dropping from an average of 101, TAG votes on
governor and senator last time, to approximately
$4,000 this year.
The farmer-labor increase is just little
larger than the slump in the democratic vote.
Owing to the increased total vote the farm
er-abor party did poll larger figure than it did
in 1922, but relatively it weaker Charles

William Allen White is one Of the great
editors of his generation; the Mayo brothers are
among the great physicians and surgeons; John
W. Davis is among the great lawyers And they
all brought it about in the little towns where they
were born.
Davis made himself what he is in Clarks-
burg; William Allen White in Emporia, the
Mayo brothers in Rochester, MINI. Somewhere
among the fragments of gossip one picks up about
the world, it has been repeated to me that when
the Mayo brothers were young, they wanted to
go to Chicago to practise; but were dissuaded by
their father, who told them that they could make
themselves first-class doctors in Rochester, and
that if they were sufficiently good doctors, Chi
cago would come to them.
When the city publishers tried to lure Will
liam Allen White to the cities with promises of
what they persuasively said and believed would
be his best opportunity to reach the maximum
of fame and other recompense, he took look at
Chicagos and New York's skyscraping apart
ment houses and said he preferred to live in a
place where he could water his own front lawn
with thrty-five feet of hose.-McNaught's Month

When Robert M. La Toilette retired to Maple
Bluff, his Wisconsin farm, the day before cleo
ton, he probably removed himself for all time
as a contender for the presidency. He is we'll
along in years, and probably past the age where
he can serve forlorn hope to give new impetus
to political movement made up of groups which
have nothing in common but seizure of nervous
discomfort He is still a senator, and as such
will probably be heard from. But he left the
arena Tuesday with applause from either of
the old parties. He did have the satisfaction of
knowing that he gave the Republicans few
bad weeks, when it appeared that he would gather
enough strength to throw the election into the
house-Blue Earth Post.

When bankers, professional men, business
men and housewives will take time from their
manifold duties to make house toulouse and
business-t robustness canvas as was made here
last week to obtain members to the Red Cross, it
is because they are solidly sold on the work the
Red Cross is doing. Some of them are sold to
its work with the ex-service men, some of them
are sold to its disaster relief work at home and
abroad some of them are sold to its Peace Time
program which plans for the care of thousands
of HELPLESS and dependent children and for grown
ups who are in dire straits; some of them are
sold to it for one thing, some for another and
some for ALL it's good works. 1t doesn't in the
least matter why we love and honor the Red
Cross so long as we do, and there certainly has
been. in Redwood Falls, within the past two weeks
great revival of interest in and love for this
Greatest Mother of Them ALI. Those who have
been somewhat disinterested or little lax since
the direct need caused by the war has ceased
have recently learned something of what this
organization is doing at home and abroad. In
fact we are all learning that in this one great
brotherhood is our great opportunity for uniting
with those of our own race and all other races, OF
our own creeds and all other creeds for the bet
torment of all races and of all creeds. In short
the Red Cross affords us all the golden privilege
of Ajust being kind" on broad and soul-satls-
flying scale. We have frequently been proud and
happy over fine things Redwood Falls has done
but we have seldom been quite so well satisfied
with the home town as we are now when the
Roll Call is most auspiciously underway.

Evidently Frank A. Day, the senior editor of
the Fairmont Sentinel received call the day
after election from Senator F. E. Putnam of
Blue Earth. Now since Frank had been sup

with fervor possible only to Frank, and since
Senator Putnam is about the most staid and
substantial and solid member Minnesota has in
