The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1927-05-04

A Berlin Chimpanzee had a little trick Of turn
ing in fire alarms and then watching with keen
enjoyment the departments go by to put said fires
out. Some kids haven't evoluted so very far after
all, now have they.
Why worry because you have neither money
NOR time for the trip to Niagara. Just take a
walk to the three falls in the vicinity of Redwood
Falls. Let the beauty of all that dashng water
soak into your being-and cease regretting the
things you can't have. Niagara is grander and
more magnificent than our own little display, but
not whit more beautiful.

Quit your growing! There is no more rea-
son why you should fish without license than
that your neghbor should hunt without one And
since the funds from both licenses go into the
Game and Fish fund, to improve the sports for
future sportsmen why should you growl about
either. Get your license and get it quick
Albert and his little playmates will catch you
if you don't watch out!

Blue Earth has "new school building" war
on. Thank goodness ours is over for the next
ten years But if anyone who opposed the
building of the Lincoln school on the grounds
that it was too large still has that same notion
in his head we suggest that he go over there and
see just how little space there is there right this
minute. You'd be sprised! We hope if Blue
Earth does build that she'll build plenty big
enough-it will save future troubles

| What Minnesota needs is not an increase in the
appropriation for legislators salaries but de-
crease in the number of men using that appro-
L.
redistricted SO that man could represent
greater number of people than is at present pos
sible, it would be possible for the legislators to
have the larger salary which is their DUE It
would also save for home duties lot of men who
travel down to st. Paul for a good time every
two years.
"It would be tedious task to enumerate
the epidemics which have been traced to incom-
plete and incorrect waste disposal says the
Northwestern Health Journal in discussing the
garbage can menace. Which reminds us that
Redwood Falls ever present and always vicious
question of garbage disposal during the summer
months is again upon We didn't do much of
anything about it last year nor the year before
that. Just how going to handle it THIS
year?
Through the process-and the progressed
television great things are promised. 1t prophe-
sled that within not too-distant future we in |
Redwood Falls may see, merely by pulling plug
in our telephone the Army and Navy game where
ever it may be played, or that great plays may be
given us from New York stages as easily as now
We hear a radio program played from there. The
doubters are with us, but they were when the
telephone, the automobile and the air plane first
began to make themselves felt as powers in the
world But whether we doubt or whether we
believe we are forced to admit that the twentieth
century is wonderful century in which to live.

Y J OLUNTARY abstinence from food as
" method for curing human ills is as ancient
Hippocrates, the father of medicine,
who lived three hundred years and more before
the Christian Era Among the lower animals it
is as old, probably, as time itself. Instinctively
animals choose fasting remedy for their all
ments Every naturalist knows that wild crea-
lures will seek some sheltered retreat, there to
remain without food until sickness has passed !
Even those of us who are unfamiliar with ma
ture have noted the same characteristic in do |
nestle animals
Yet, knowing these things, we invariably /
stuff our bodies with such quantities of badly |
chosen food as to make US torpid, sluggish and t
disagreeabe. We overtax our digestive organs /
to please sense of taste. We choose edibles |
for the palate, not for the stomach. We eat a |
variety and class of food that would bring an /
ache to sausage grinder. And then we wonder /
why feel bad! Perhaps it would be better
for all of us if we prepared for each days meals
by reciting little verse which Rudyard Kipling 1
called Primitive Theology One stanza goes !
like this:
/ ate my fill of whale that died
And stranded after month at sea 49,.
There is pain in my inside!
Why have the gods afflicted me?

Gutzon Borglum, the great sculp-
tor, has gone to the Black Hills of South
Dakota, where he is to carve on the side
of Rushmore Mountain gigantic figures
in granite of Washington, Lincoln,
Roosevelt and Jefferson. Now Borglum
