We hope when they've finished this, that they
will go ahead and finish the bath house project
and a few odds and ends like that. The boys are
mighty good at doing up the chores.

A Kentucky girl marched up to the pulpit and
slapped the minister who made the statement
that no virtuous woman would have her hair
bobbed. The Supreme court of Kentucky revers-
ed the finding of the District Court which held
that the girl was guilty of assault. The Supreme
Justice who wrote the opinion Incorporated into
it his opinion that the minister had been guilty
of pulpit cowardice" in making such statement
when he felt that the fact that it was made in
serman would protect him. No one will altogeth-
er approve of the tempestous treatment admins
tered by the offended girl but one cannot help but
feel that there is an element of truth and justice
in the judges statement that she was justified
in what she did,

Judge j. E. Haycraft of Martin County gave
la boy five years in the State Reformatory the
other day, this sentence being handed out in ex-
change for all the good fried chicken the lad had
eaten at the expense of his neighbors He not
only took chickens for his own use, but took them
in sufficient numbers to sell them at various
kets. We approve of the Judges verdict-in
fact we approve so much that we shall make no
plea for leniency. A chicken is only a chicken,
but theft is THEFT. After all the principal
is the same whether its a white leghorn in 1925
or white broncho away back in 1S60-and we
know what happened to the boys who appropriated
the bronchos. Redwood County farmers al
so on the war path for the person who casually
other farm animals. We hope they catch the
whole KIT and caboodle of 'em!

George Washington walked many roads to
fame One of the trails he travelled was by way
of his rules for etiquette, several in number. We
are inclined to think that he wrote enc, which,
if he had done nothing else would have made
him "first in the hearts of his countrymen." It's
this, I'm THE PRESENCE OF OTHERS SING
NOT TO YOURSELF WITH A RUNNING
VOICE NOR DRUM WITH YOUR FINGERS
OR FEET" We love George for that just as
much as we dislike all those who fail to follow
his rule. We have no doubt that had there been
movies in Georges day of his rules would have
been, READ NOT ALOUD THE CAPTIONS,
NEITHER EXPLAIN CAREFULLY THE
MEANING OF WHAT HAS BEEN OR is TO
!
KICK NOT THE SEAT OF THE UNFORTUN-
ATE SITTING IN FRONT OF YOU"

1t is time that Redwood Falls awakens to
the fact that she has "real'' water situation to
meet-rather she has to meet the situation Of
not having enough water-and what water the
city has is pretty awful We have doubt the
members of the City Council thoughtful
tho Oft will do fbor utro 70 oil
the situation. But it is as well for each of US
who must see to the water supply (and its desir-
able purity in homes, to give little
thought to the matter, too. There is shortage
of water and everybody may as well know it.
They may also we'll know if they have thus
! far escaped the knowledge, that such water as
we have tastes like the very old dickens and has
mighty few friends We don't believe the stu
alton has to be endured but it may be we'll for
each of to find out whether it does or not
