certain brand of candy sells for sixty
cents per pound in Canada and eighty cents in
the United and some brilliant thinker" has de-
cided its because of our sugar tariff. Twenty
ever noticed it before
49,
In 1880 platinum sold for 35 cents per ounce.
Then somebody discovered that it made perfect
ly splitting engagement and wedding rings and
the price just galloped along up until now it is
$12O per ounce. No wonder the cost of living
has gone up. How is couple ever to start
housekeeping right without platinum ring or
two!

The Negro Sermon, which leads off this page
this week, is reprinted from the Northwestern
the Freeman It's worth stealing because of it's
interest to those to whom the simple unques-
tioning and emotional faith of the colored race
makes considerable of an appeal We are glad
the Allocate found it so that the Gazette might
use it.

Rufus Rand Of Minneapolis is Commander
of the Minnesota American Legion and Paul
Greer of Saint Paul is Vice Commander. If
these boys can work in peace and harmony, in
spite of the fool enmity between the Twins, they
will give to the other residents of the state one
more big justification for faith in the American
Legion Such peace and harmony has never been
achieved before; we are all from Missouri in the
matter

Renville County is picking up" She is to
have school building on her county fair grounds.
We just knew that Renville couldn't come over
to Redwood Falls year after year and not decide
after while that building for the housing of
school exhibits is one of the very best assets
fair can have. If any entitled to a good
place in which to show their exhibits it is the
children of the county. Redwood's building has
brought big returns, and these good results in
crease year after year.

Sam Walter Foss of "The House By the Side
of the Road" fame has written a number of other
little things, all good from the human side of
ones judgment. His bit of "Say Hello" verse
is among these good things.
Wen you man in woe,
Walk right up and say "Hullo."
Say "hullo' and show dye do,
Flows the world a-usin' you?"
Wen you travel through the strange
Country t'other side the range,
Then the souls you've cheered will know
Who you be, an say "hullo."

few men are kicking about Lud Roe's ap-
pontment as the Big Chief of the Republican
party. These GROWERS divide into two classes.
| The first group contains the fellows who are
jealous because they didn't get this recognition
themselves and the other class is made up of those
poor human misfits who fail to recognize ability
in any one who is less than seventy-five years
of age. Lud has the most recognizable sort of
ability; just because he isn't grandfather
doesn't mean that he hasn't done big work for
the Republican party. Any one who watched his
handling of the pre-primary campaign for Gov
ernor Christensen will recognize that This
criticism of the less-than- middleaged by those
over the halfway stile is absurd. Apropos of the
same thought a recent editorial in the Presby-
4 terrain Advocate closed with these two thought
full paragraphs
! 1t is our youth who hear and heed
/ the new sense of duty in the battles of
/ peace. For when duty whispers, lo
thou must, the youth replies / cam
/ : Youth is more filled with the crusading
I spirit than ever before. And the youth
OF to-day are preparing to save the
world of tomorrow.
Let us all quit the old, archaeologic
habit of finding fault with our youth; let
US remember the young man of Galilee-
thirty when he started out thirty-three
| when he was crucified-ahd let us shout
our praise of glorious youth into whose
hastls we cheerfully place our task of
| making world"
