The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1927-05-25

zETTE, REDWOOD FALLS, MINNESOTA
We aren't so keen as we might be about this
changeable weather but-what if weather had
been created Interchangeable?

We are always out cunning for punsters
The one we aim to get this week is the young
woman who replied to the question "Why are
radishes red" by saying "Heredity of Counsel"
f-t-f
In the face of the dynamted school in Michi-
gan, the tornado in indianapolis and the ever
prevalent flood conditions of the Lower Missis-
1 sippi how do we, safe here in Redwood County,
dare to whimper because poverty touches us
here and there, or because the weatherman sends
clouds when we want sunshine. We don't dare
to hug the hope that we in this section of Min
nesota are Goods chosen"-but He is assuredly
treating us as though we are.

Don't be content with paying just dime
for your Memorial Day Poppy. You can get
one for that of course if you want to be a poor
sport and sneak by cheaply. No one will know
whether you paid dime or dollar, for poppies
like daisies, simply won't tell" But down in
your soul you will know-and the next time you
meet disabled veteran you are going to remem-
Der that while he gave arm leg for you
you thought dime was big money to give to
him. Park dollar in your handiest pocket
and have it ready when the poppy comes your
way.
1t is quite customary, when an editor moves
on, for him or her to ask the community to deal
as kindly with the succeeding editor as it has
with the passing one. We are not going to do
it. We don't need to ask any such treatment
for the owners. These men are the kind to
go out and get just that sort of treatment on
their merit-because they are deserving it
and because they earn it. We are making no
apologies for leaving the Gazette in the hands
of these two men-in fact we feel that we have
done the community real favor by making the
change Inside of six months the community
will be agreeing with us.

| The editor of the Gazette (who ceases to be
the editor with this issue) is being railroaded
out of Minnesota by her loving friends and init
mate enemies. "Its all along" of folks talking
about something of which they know nothing
which is quite in accordance with human nature
forever and ever! WE HAVE NO Government
job in Washington and no more prospect of one
that we have of an invitation to go to Alaska
and open up an ice cream parlor-if fact the
prospects are about equally good in both in
stances. We would love to be allowed to an
nounce our own plans if we had any-and we
haven't! We are not broken down in health
neither are retiring from all fields of activi-
ty. In fact we don't know WHAT we are ex-
cept that we are longer editor of the Gazette
We crave the privilege, if it be permitted us,
to rest right here in Redwood Falls for the next
several weeks at least-after that we shall be
out looking for job," trusting that it will be
one that will not take entirely away from our
native and much loved state. Now, that's that,
boys-when we know more about it we will tell
you!

| If were making our official will this
morning there are several things would be-
queath to successors Mr.. Barnes and Mr..
Frederickson. We would give them as a legacy
our belief in Redwood Falls and Redwood Coun-
ty as good communities in which to live and
move and have their being. We would give them
our knowledge of the wealth of this county in
its agricultural and dairying resources and in
the class of farmers who are developing those
resources. We would give them our love for
and confidence in the schools of the city and
county-without doubt the biggest asset the To-
cality has and one which needs constant care
that its desirable growth may continue. We
would give them "free gratis for nothing" our
trust in those business men of Redwood Falls
who have been four square and cooperative BUT
there are two things we should not will to them
Our enemies shall bury forever in black
oblivion before leave the office-they no
longer exist for US, nor shall we "wish them on"
to our successors. And the friends we shall
carry with all the rest of the way-deep
seated in our heart of hearts. They are too
precious to bequeath to anyone even to those to
whom we wish all the good in the world as we
do to the new owners of The Gazette.

In 1916, when we took over the Gazette the
newspaper boys Of Minnesota and especially
those Of the Second District were extremely kind
to u.s. All through the years between they have
continued to be kind, helping rs with their friend
illness, guiding through the labyrinth Of our
editorial ignorance and in many other ways be-
ing the all-romd good friends we so much need
