SMALL TOWN TALK

Scotland Yard reports that someone in Lon
don recently lost two human bones, glass eye
and two white mice. Sounds as though the loser
might have been one of Dickens characters.
tt
Over in Scotland the keepers of particular
beauty spot got bit desperate because it was
impossible to keep it free from all sorts of un-
slightly litter Finally, in their desperation, they
made use of this little limerick and it is said
that it worked!
"Oh you who come here as sitter
"We pray you to clear up your litter,
"Your paper and scraps
"And chocolate wraps
'Lest feelings against you be bitter"

Ted Christianson's administration has meant
q lot of money saved for Minnesota. Don't for
get to show Ted your appreciation by voting for
him time or two on November End. A vote on
that day will show Ted your friendlness and APP
probation a heap sight better than any profound
salaam you may make the next time you see him.

.pLL SWIM 1T OR SINK,
DIR Row T. Smith

Gertrude Ederle is reported to have said
to her sister as she waded into the sur,
at Cape Girls Nez, '1ll swim it or sink"
Several times during the gruelling trip her
friends urged her, and once her trainer ord
cred her to give up and come out of the
water. Her only reply was, What for? ?"
To the determined girl who had said "I'll
swim it or sink" there was no sufficient
reason for coming out of the water until
she was sinking.
Gertrude Ederle might not have been
the first woman to swim the English Chan
mel if some of those who preceded her in
the attempt had had her determination.
1t was neither superior training nor more
physical endurance that gave the victory
to the American girl. 1t was that unalter-
able resolution, 'Tll swim it or sink"
1t is that inflexible will to conquer that
makes the immortals.
1t is that spirit that discovers poles, ex-
plores wildernesses, conquers plaques, finds
radium, invents flying machines, isolates
disease germs and moves mountains.
1t is that spirit that carries messages to
Garcia, captures Richmond, defends Yer
It~is that spirit that produces an Olym-
plan like Christopher Columbus the intre-
pid sailor who, dashed to the pilot wheel
of his tiny vessel with a mutinous crew
locked below decks and the memorable trade
winds at his back writes laconcally in his
journal each evening" This day we sailed 1
west"
1t is this spirit that explains why OBJ
scure boys with no capital but their own
bare hands, get educations, become cor
poration presidents, bankers, labor leaders,
educators and industrial geniuses.
The reason SO few men achieve greatness
is because so few are willing to surrender
everything for the sake of the main pur-
pose 1t is surprising how many minor
things can be dispensed with before the
great objective has to be surrendered.

WE MEAN YOU!

case the Redwood County Fair didn't
/ suit you; in case the financial returns aren't
what you think they should be; in case your
favorite horse-the one on which you bet your
last quarter-turned out to be pillow horse in
stead of fleet-of-foot; in case you didn't like
the weather; in case you found flat tire when
YOU went back to your car after it had been park
ed on the fair grounds; in case the dance
chestra didn't play your favorite jazz; in
case your pet pig never got look in at the prize
money! in case the hamburger you ate gave you
an awful touch Of Indigestion; in case the judge
who Judged the cooking didn't know a good pie
or cake when she saw it (ths being the opinion
of your superior intellect) in somebody
gifted" the blanket you had won; we'll, in case
anyone of many things you don't particularly
care about happened during fair week, just get
even with the world in general by "bawling out"
the Fair Board. Just stand right up and say
that 'of course nothing else could be expected
from that bunch" They only the selects"
from the best fellows Redwood County has, but
don't let little thing like that stand in your
way Call 'em down good and plenty! That's
your privilege-the privilege Of anyone who
could run fair as well as you could if you had
the chance. They get good fat salaries. Sure!
They have easy tme-only working day and
night Tor three or Tour weeks before Lne Ialr
and doing about three mems work per each while
it is going on. Sure! Call them down. bawl
them out, threaten to elect new Board! Just
do lot of little things like that to show ap
probation you, as a Redwood County citizen,
feel for these hard workers. If you haven't
nerve enough to do it to their faces, do it be-
hind their backs so they will hear about it
it will probably gain juicy bit of animonsity
in the retelling.
But whatever else you do, don't you say a
single word of praise nor express any gratitude,
nor offer any Constructive critieism"-that would
spoil the whole thing and might make them
cocky.
There is an old saying which harks back to
the old days of mythology, "Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad" The mod
ern version of this is ''Whom the gods would
destroy they first put in public office in small
town or on fair board or something" And
having put them there, "the gods" go away and
leave the rest of the work for the humans.
There about thousand good things to
be said about the management of last weeks fair
and mighty few faults to be found with it.
Now which are you going to talk about the next
time you these men?

ASH the observance OF the lOV7
Hest of all anniversaries, celebrated by
- two of Redwood Falls citizens. Many
fine things were said to and about these two
people who have lived useful half century to-
gether Of all these things said nothing was
finer nor more meanngful than sentence said
by one of the clergy at the anniversary dinner at
Saint GATHERINGS Looking around at the newly
WEEDS of fifty years ago. now surrounded by their
family of sturdy American citizens the priest
said, at is splendid thing to have reared thlr-
teen children and to have not single black
sheep in the bunch" A fine thing indeed! In
fact we can think of nothing that spells greater
success nor of anything that should bring with it
a greater feeling Of satisfaction and peace. To
the mother who cared for the mental, moral and
spiritual growth of her BROOD to the father who
toiled increasingly and sometimes under most
adverse circumstances to earn the essentials of
life and to give his children the opportunity
which is the birthright of every American born
child-to these two people the words must in
deed have been a crown; golden text" to be
remembered down through the years which
1--WE hope) stretch peacefully ahead. Truly
GOLDEN weddng-and it was Mr.. and Mrs.
Lauterbach who made it so for themselves and
for their family. mot black sheep in the
bunch!" Thirteen an unlucky number? Ask
any one of the family.

THE GREAT TRIBUTE

AST-week saw the observance of the Low,
lest of all anniversaries, celebrated by
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1926-10-06


This week is fire prevention week. Does
that mean anything to you? It should, since
from the State Fire Department comes the state
ment that the money lost by fires in the U. S.
each year would keep more than TWO MILLION
children in school. Maybe we should cease
growing about school taxes and learn what we
can do toward reducing them by just this one
single item of conservation. One way the de-
partment suggests by which this conservation
may be brought about is by exercising a little
precaution-that is, when building buildings, see
that they are erected so that they won't burn.
In the meantime what can each of us do about
our own premises this week to make them less
of a fire hazard, and thus less of a menace
to other property holders in our community?
IT
In time of war there are several ways of
betraying the country. In time of peace there
is only failing to cast conscientious vote.
Men and women who will not vote are doing all
they can to destroy democracy, for no country in
which elections are decided by the vote of the
minority, country with great body of voters
too lazy of mind to take part in an election, is
anything but despotism, the rule of the in
different many by the selfish few The working
out of real democracy has two problems: how
to get men and women to vote in every election
and how to get them to look at public questions
from the viewpoint of the good of the whole peo-
