If you do only what is expected OF you, you

New York and London are again playing

The village of Morgan has eighty-five Red

a hundred per cent of course, but it's pretty
good percentage at that. We only hoping
that Redwood Falls will do as well when the last

After shopping around a bit In Redwood
Falls stores we can't see a mite OF an excuse
for anybody purchasing a single Christmas
gift outside of our own city limits. The gift
lines are exceptionally pleasing this year. The
staple and standard things are just as good as
they always are, and Redwood Falls merchants
have built up their regulations on having these
things the best on the market.

The series of articles by Judge Kavenagh,
appearing these days in the Minneapolis Jour-
nal, are splendidly written treatises on the sub
iect of crime and related subjects. In these
times when we are all thoughtful on Americas
crime future it is well for all to educate our
selves at least in the rudiments of criminology.
The thoughtful reading Of Judge Kavenaghs
articles is good beginning.

Miami is advertising in the Duluth Herald
with Farming below the Snow Line" as the
theme of the advertising. We wonder if Duluth
lis wise enough to advertise in Miami paper
lust about the time hot weather down there gets
ito going good and strong-with series OF ad-
vertisements calling attention to the GOODNESS of
Duluth and the beauties Of it's adjacent country.
What's sauce for the gander-you know the rest!
If it pays Miami and Florida to advertise north

south
One of life's most tragic jokes is seeing
the merchant who bowls long and loud about
the community patronizing the mail order houses
shin in huge crates of furniture or groceries, OF
electric light fixtures or automobile tires or any
other merchandise, just because he can exercise
his "buying at wholesale" privilege. That's one
of the chief reasons why small towns are grow
ing smaller-and large ones larger. Not all the
"buying- out Of town" crimes are committed o!
the farmers Watch the dray! You'd be s'pris

These "young moderns" begin to be modern

start in the kindergarten age to give the modern

We never bought gallon of gasoline an
bod +bo throw a fire. We noVo
bought pound of hamburger and had the butch
er throw in ten-pound roast. We never bough
yard of kitchen toweling and had the merchan
throw in a damask table cloth. We never pal
J our interest at the bank and had the banke
cancel the face value of the note for us. An
yet we are constantly having dealers of one sol
and another take three dollar advertising spac
and then ask that we GIVE them, in new
columns, publicity which would outvalue the cos
of the advertising many, many times. Think
over.

Over and over high schools girls and boy
ask, "What am I-going to gain by keeping on a
