We are much fed up on all this talk about
the money that tourists do or do not bring into
the communities which they visit That is one
OF the least the very leastest of the least of the
factors to be considered in estimating the value
OF the tourist visitor. The big factor is that
when tourist visits Minnesota he gives to the
citizens Of the state chance to SELL him the
State-that is to make him like it so much, to
recognize it beauties, it's and is posi-
bilities to such an extent that he places Mime
sofa where she belongs in his mental catalogue of
the various state, well up towards the tops pos
sibly making her the leader Of them all. Not
every tourist is just visitor. Many of them
are location seekers. Many of them return home
and tell location seeking friends of what they
have discovered here. If we want to attract the
worthwhile citizens out looking for a home to
come and make that home in Minnesota, we must
make him feel that we have much to offer him
and want HIM rather than the money he spends
with the butcher, the baker and the candlestick
maker during the time of his fleeing visit here.
Let's not get so eager looking for the present
dollar that we forget to lay hands upon the fu-
ture good citizen.

This is what Leavitt Corning of St. Par
says in his little magazine about his friend Con
denio A. S. Severance who recently passed ava!
1t is beautiful thing to have said of one-an
incidentally beautifully said.
"God bless the man who can prosper
in material way and still keep his warm
human sympathies, his love for the humble
as we'll as for his well-to-do brother man.
"Cordy' Severance carried to the un-
known so prematurely, was such a man..
Never once did he display even the suspicion
of that all too common trait Of the wealthy,
the purse-proud haughtiness that keeps them
away from those on whom the financial gods
have not smiled: he was a true democrat,
true American, a genuine aristocrat, with
that real American aristocracy that realizes
that here indeed and in truth verey man is
king and of royal quality.

Redwood Falls has barber shop "For
Men Only" To some this may mean break
for freedom by the members of the male sex,
but to us it looks like a slam at the be-
witching maidens, charming damsels and
engaging matrons that Bess Wilson claims
make their homes in Redwood Falls-Lake
Wilson Pilot.
AS usual Bob Forest has stretched the
truth point or two" just to make good story
We never said there was this exclusive shop here
we just said the beavers" were demanding it
Probably they'll never get it and we hope they
wont-we don't believe in any special privileges
for men. Incidentally we invite Bob over to see
that our maidens, damsels and matrons are all
we have claimed them to be-

A few days ago advertisement appeared
that was decidedly unusual in regard to the re-
numeration offered. Wages Of from $25 to $40
week were offered to girls IS years of
age and the advertisement stated experience
was not necessary. AS rule it is well for young
boys and girls to avoid positions where the
wages are out of all proportion to the services
rendered. 1t would be difficult to conceive OF
any inexperienced girl Is years of age actually
earning salary of $40 week. A position that
commands such salary for the class of en-
ployes specified must be perilous from some
viewpoint. Parents would do we'll to carefully
investigate working conditions connected with
such positions before allowing their daughters
to accept them. Better be safe than sorry

WASTED MONEY.
(By FRANK A. DAY.)

(By FRANK A. DAY.)
~ HE direct by mail advertising is grea
.r stuff :....., ...,,.,, ;. ,,.... : : :.
one mail yesterday It probably took Is min
utes to open the bunk and look through it. Then
all of it went into the waste basket. It's the
same thing, nearly so, everyday.
eve would make bet that 80 persons OF
a hundred who receive that alleged" advertis-
ing, with which the mails are flooded give i:
about the same amount of consideration.
"And yet the monographs and circular
presses continue to grind it out and millions
are spent for postage stamps. 1--WE mean millions
of dollars.)
"The same amount of money spent in pro-
perly written newspaper advertising would be
worth a thousand times more to the seller OF
the goods
"When man receives newspaper hi
doesn't glance at it and throw it into the waste
basket. He reads it and passes it on to other
members of the family Your 'ad' stares every
one of them in the face as they read. If the
'ad' contains something's they want in
terested in it means an inquiry, probably sale.
"The present mess of mail advertising
that's what it is-a mess-makes the recipient
mad to have to carry it from the post office.
"We will go before notary public, or if
necessary, put up bond, that good per cent of
people throw circular advertising in the waste
basket at the post office before going out.
Therefore that much is wasted"

The boys of the Second District Edi-
torial Association will have their annual
outing at Slayton and Lake Shetek, August
the eighth One of the big features will be
the distribution by the newly appointed re-
gent of the State University, Editress and
Publisheress Bess Wilson, of a box of the
finest cigars that can be found The boys
like cigars and good ones. The flavor of
the smokes will be materially enhanced by
the fact that the association has been re-
membered IN the distribution of the plums.
Come along to Slayton, fellows, and have a
cigar on Bess-A. M. Welles.
Nothing stirring! We have an alibi for mol
handing out the smokes and thus being party
to the moral downfall Of indiscreet bachelors
like A. M. Not too many years ago a young
man of this vicinity announced himself as the
parent of twin sons and Immediately the ribald
young men of his acquaintance demanded cigars
of the best brand. He used the famous words
with which this paragraph starts-nothing STIR
ring! His conviction was that having become the
father Of said twin sons, he had done much for
his community and instead of his acquaintance
expecting the treats from him, they themselves
should be the donors of said treats We thank
him much for the suggestion! By the same to-
ken we expect the 'boys of the Second District
Editorial Association" to come bearing gifts. We
have no intention of buying them SO much as q
gum drop!

It's getting serious down here in South

that autoists are humping head-on at many of

That sounds like brag, but it may be 4
warning. Within somewhat less than hundred
miles of Redwood Falls are several corners where
tall corn is real menace to motorists. Mime

BUY LAND NOW.

IT. HERE has never been more opportune
time to buy land in Minnesota than right
= now, and advice to anyone who
happens to be in the market for piece of farm
land in this state is to buy it quick.
We all agree that prices of farm lands have
been at rock bottom for almost year. There
will be no further drop. On the contrary there
is almost sure to be some advance
There two things responsible for de-
preston in farm land prices. One is succession
of crop failures, which brings about local drop
in the price of land the other purely economic
condition that forces down the price of all farm
products, causes period Of general depression
in all agricultural sections and finally results in
drop in all land prices.
Farm land values that become depressed as
result of successive crop failures are sometimes
years in returning to a normal basis, but farm
lands that have been forced down in value because
of economic conditions frequently brought
back to normal in single season the result Of
a sudden change in conditions
Minnesota has never had complete crop
failure. Its lands have been forced down in
price because many of our farmers have made no
money during the past four years. But where
we, in Minnesota, have been having "hard sled
ding" the farmers of many other sections have
been going broke by the thousands
The wise Minnesota farmer who has been
having financial difficulties has concluded to
"stick by the ship for he realizes that farming
be made to pay anywhere earth it can
be made to pay in this state.
Hundreds of those residing in the crop failure
sections have about concluded to what they
can out of the wreck and come to Minnesota to
make new start in life.
Then we have our "crop" of land buyers
that has been piling up for years-sons OF
farmers ready to start out for themselves, many
of whom are only waiting ITO make sure land
has hit the bottom" also many who were at
tracted from the country to the cities during the
period of excessively high wages are now find
ing it difficult to make ends meet and are prepar-
ing to go back to the farm.
Iowa and Illinois dealers are reporting an in
creased interest in Minnesota lands and many
land seekers from those states are coming to
this state during the present summer to investi-
gate.
Economic conditions as compared with year
ago showed a wonderful improvement. The general
trend of commodity prices is toward a lower
point and the spread between what the farmer
is compelled to purchase and what he receives
for the product of his labor is gradually being
reduced The price of farm products shows a
substantial increase during the past year. This
indicates that the inevitable economic readjust-
ment is well on the way and that it will be but
a short time before farming will once more be-
come profitable industry.
On top Of all this we learn that move is

business men to organize corporation capitalize
