SAVE THE FOREST

Not long ago the state highway
commission and the federal govern
ment started to build a road into the
vast northern Minnesota wilderness
known the the Superior National For
est. The work was discontinued when
the chamber of commerce at Ely took
the lead in urging it's abandonment.
Now Secretary Jardine urges that the
roads be put through, claiming that
the lack of roads initiate against the
protection of the forest from fire,
against the enjoyment of its beauties
by those who would like to see it but
cannot undergo the hardships of a
canoe trip and against the use of its
owners of nearly half a million of
private and state lands. But the Sec
rotary forgets that the construction
of roads will in reality make the dan
ger from fires far greater. That is
why lovers Of outdoor life protest
against the construction of such
roads. By all means MINES TIA sh ould

economic status. Today under prohibition they
are putting money in the bank, and buying cars
and living in better homes. The rich who are
rich because they have self-control somewhat,
and are greedy and grasping, but nevertheless self
where self control is vice rather than
a virtue, can handle their liquor.
So today the abolition of the saloon and the
high price of booze keeps temptation from the
poor, and they save their money for better
things.
The rich get booze, and it either damns
them or doesn't, and no one cares; for it does
not create an economic disturbance. Society does
not have to pay for the wreck of the rich, how
ever rotten their wreckage may be. So prohi-
bition has accomplished its end. 1t has removed
the temptation to drink too much from the poor
who could not afford their extravaganza and
who passed their burden on to society.
And prohibition has left the rich man his
booze and if it sends him to hell that's his look
out and the quicker the better.
The rich boozer is a rebel-a militant, in
sistent lawbfeaker. And that is bad for the
morale of government; terribly bad. For the
rich make customs by their examples for the
human apes and monkey people.
But from the purely economic standpoint, the
present status is satisfactory, however deplor-
able may be the political and social consequences
of that status.
This is the cold-blooded reason why the vets
never get anywhere politically and never will
The heart of the country is convinced that pro-
hibition pays in cold-blooded economic way
that it's ends have been accomplished and the
heart of the country is willing to accept the
present status without legalizing it in spite of
the terrible moral and political which
comes from rebelious and indignant leader
ship among the rich.-William Allen White in

HOW THEY GET 1T

n HE other day, in Minnesota's biggest pub
fishing house, we learned of million cir
q culars being printed for just single mail
ing from one of the mail order houses in ST. Paul,
and saw, in the process Of printing, huge catal-
ogues, costing thousands of dollars and being
printed by thousands there, for distribution all
over the northwest, including our own little do
main in the vicinity of Redwood Falls. Last
year Montgomery and Ward did business of
$184 ,O95 ,9S9 while Sears Roebuck did mere lit
tie $25s,342,2S6. Twin City and Chicago people
didn't buy goods from these firms-the St. Paul
house for whom the catalogue work was being
done doesn't include any Twin City people on
its mailing list. It's all in the country towns!
This is the sort of competition country merchants
over the Northwest facing-and they think
they can compete for it without advertising! 1t
doesn't make good sense, does it?

A VIEW ON PROHIBITION

- ODAY the boozer gets his booze and will
always. But the man who is not boozer
does not have booze poked under his nose
by legalzed institutions. There is the gain. In
modern society where find their level some
what because of their specific spiritual gravity,
it happens that those who have least self-control
are at the bottom of the economic scale
Poor folks have poor ways, says the pro-
verb, and poor ways make poor folks. So the
open saloon was the constant breeder of poverty
because those along the lower economic levels
could not control their appetites. Take away the
saloon and the men along the fringe gain in

Picture Ahead
DIR. Roy L. Smith

Thousands of speed-mad motorists
never see the beauties of the country
through which they are racing. They ride
for the thrill and not for the scenery.
An enterprising camera, firm, therefore,
has erected thousands of signs along the
highways with this reminder:
PICTURE AHEAD"
except for which many lovely spot would
go unnoticed.
No country is beautiful to the one who
sees only the bare road ahead. Any coun-
try is beautiful if we drive bit more
leisurely and look for the beauty.
The late Judge Todhunter of Middle
ton, Ohio, died recently leaving a remark
able codicil attached to his will, part of
which reads as follows:
after many laps of the
journey down the years, I find
the hills are sleeper and the going
harder, yet l take great joy in re-
minding my friends that the seem
cry is still interesting and the way
full of inspiration
The judge was saying, PICTURE
AHEAD
Suppose William Shakespeare or Hen
rik Ibsen lived in your neighborhood and
worked at your office. What romances,
comedies and tragedies he would see!
The most beautiful picture means moth
ing to the man who does not see.
There are wonderful romances on the
streets of your town-more wonderful than
any that have ever been written by popular
novelists. Look for them! Every day is
an adventure for the adventurous soul.
Righteous causes are waiting for cham
pions, public service goes unperformed for
lack of workers, youth of enormous pot
entiality is wasting its life in mediocrity
for lack of inspiration.
You may not own the land but nothing
can prevent you owning the landscape.
Look for the picture that is just ahead
of you, at the next desk, beside you in the
street car, in the hurrying rush at the close
of business hours.

A GOOD WORK GOES ON
HE Commissioners of Redwood Cou

=" HE Commissioners of Redwood County did
another fine stroke of business the other
day when they decided that it is now time
for the County to pay for at least portion of
the valuable social service work which has been
done so effectively in the County for the past
several years, in order that that work may be
continued and be made still more effective.
Originally this work, which has come to be
spoken of as the Child Welfare work, was start
ed as part of the Red Cross Peace Time Pro-
gram and since its start has been financed en-
tirely by the Red Cross funds. These funds are
now running low, and if the work is to be con-
tinued and fill the great need for such service,
the Red Cross must have assistance in the fnanc-
ing of it. Seeing this, the Commissioners authorz-
ed the payment of the salary of the social worker
whose field and office expenses will be paid by
the Red Cross as formerly. By this aid the
Red Cross funds be stretched few
years more-and by that time the County will
have become so imbued with the necessity of the
work that it will just naturally find some means
of taking care of the expense.
We can't conceive of Redwood County ever
again being without a welfare worker to look
after its neglected children, it's poverty stricken
families and to prevent, when possible, the ten
dency toward crime. Its great work and the
Commissioners, sensing this greatness. have done
a splendid thing by making it possible for this
work to continue.
They have also, in the long run, saved the
County much money The prevented crime, how
ever it is prevented, is much less costly econom-
ically and in every other way than the committed
crime. That's one way in which the County
saves. The detection of unfair or legitmate
claims upon county care is another way in which
the Welfare Worker helps to protect the county
employing her. 1t is indeed a great work-let
us all give sincere thanks to the commissioners
that it is to be continued.

WHERE is THE PROMISE OF HIS
COMING?"


COMING?"
When through the whirl of wheels, and engines
humming,
Patiently powerful for the sons of men,
Peals like trumpet promise of His coming
Who in the clouds is pledged to come again;
When through the night the furnace fires flaring,
Shooting out tongues of flame like leaping blood,
Speak to the heart of Love, alive and daring,
Sing of the boundless energy of God;
When in the depths the patient miner striving,
Feels in his the vigor of the Lord,
Strikes for kingdom and his Kings arriving,
Holding his pick splendid than the sword;
When the sweat of labor and it's sorrow,
Toiling in twilight Pickering and dim,
Flames out the sunshine Of the great tomorrow,
When all the world looks up because of Him
Then will He come with meekness for His glory,
God in workman's jacket as before,
Living again the eternal gospel story,
Sweeping the shavings from His workshop
floor

Personally we have to have quite bit of
educating before we vote yes on Amendment
No. 1. This is the Amendment that provides
for two more judges in the State Supreme Court.
We entirely open to conviction but we must
be shown that the need for these two additional
justices is imperative before we put down our
little "X". It has always been our theory that
Minnesota needs fewer public officers instead of
more and the work of the Supreme Court has
been efficiently done in the past-whats the
argument for crowding more men onto the bench?
We have to be shown! But Amendment No. 2
is very much OUR Amendment and we shall vote
twice for it if the opportunity presents itself.
This is the amendment which will make it pos
sible for the state to set properly about the big
job of replanting itself to trees. It would appear
that everyone would be FOR such provision and
yet of its friends, by neglecting to vote for
it, will most assuredly vote against it. Failure
to vote on a, constitutional amendment is to vote
against. We ask voters to remember this and
to mind their step when doing their little job
of amendment voting

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

No material change has been noted
in the wool market, though a more
confident feeling is being expressed
as the time for. the heavyweight open
ings draw near. These cannot be
long delayed, according to wool trade
opinion, and when accomplished there
is an expectation that the wool mar
ket win have a period of healthy ac-
tivity. London opened on Tuesday
weaker than was expected, especially
on merinos, but fine crossbreds were
unchanged, and medium and low
crossbreds were a bit dearer. The
annual review of Boston wool stocks
showed larger total than was ex-
pected, supposed to be due to the
changed position of some Of the west
ern pool holdings and the weight of
consigned woods held off the market
by western owners. Really choice
woods are scarce and very firmly held,
most of the recent concessions having
been in average and inferior wools.
Australian and New Zealand auctions
are holding firm, especially at Sgd
ney, where the better New England
and southern district wools are being
offered more freely. Americans are
buying in Australia and New Zealand,
owing to the high prices demanded by
western growers for their wools.
Eastern buyers are still refusing to
contract on the basis of growers
ideas, and trade leaders are hoping
that they may be able to control con-
tracing until shearing time. Prices
are firm for the best wools.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
MARKET REPORT
: 44+#*s*se@*@@*#4' >

Kansas City, Jan. 25.-Live stock
prices ruled higher. Cattle started
steady and closed with Is to 25
cent advance, hogs rose rs to 40
cents, and lambs were up Is cents.
The general trade was active and
close clearances were made in all di-
visions. Hogs sold in the highest
position since early October. The
rally in lambs ended two weeks of
sagging prices that had carried the
market into the lowest position Of the
season late last week The advance in
fat steers toned up the trade consid-
erably.
Beef Cattle
At the outset buyers placed steady
bids on fat steers, but later trade be-
came active at a Is to 25 cent adj
vance. The quality of the offerings
was only fair. The bulk of the steers
brought S8.25 to $3.50, a few punches
up to SO. The so to so day fed
classes predominated. Some of the
offerings came from muddy feed lots
and did not show to an advantage.
The plain and ordinary steers sold at
$3.50 to So. The principal advance
was in medium to good classes. Cows
and heifers which have held relatively
firm Tor some time sold readily at
strong prices. Killers need all the
butcher classes they can get from now
on. Good fed heifers. are scarce and
mixed yearlings are in moderate sup
ply. The scarcity of cows and heifers
should force a better demand for fat
steers. Veal calves were strong, best
selling at S11.50 to $12.
Stockers and Feeders
Trade in stockers and feeders.
though limited by the moderate re-
ceipts was active at IS to 25 cents
higher prices. This advance was
nearly full recovery of the decline
that occurred late last week.
Sheep and Lambs
A is cent advance in lambs to-
gether with urgency in demand
brought the market into the first up
ward swing encountered in two weeks.
The lighter weights lambs sold at
$14.25 to $14.50, and heavy lambs
$l3.75 to SLABS. Fat ewes that sold
up to $8.65 were about the only sheep
offered.
