10. Cultivate high ambitions. New
er be satisfied with yourself. Don't be
satisfied because you are getting by as

Pick out someone who is doing better
than you and strive to beat his record
If your classwork doesn't keep you busy
take on some outside work.

He who hesitates is not only lost but he
ties up traffic like the very dickens.

| The French have adopted the use of the
English word home, their nearest approach to a
word of this meaning being foyer or hearth,
which was limited in use and did not have the
wide significance of home.

Our pet peeve today is the wall motto that
bids us SMILE, in large red letters. We don't
mind the process of curving the corners of our
mouth up if there is any reason for it, but we'll
be doggoned if we want to be bossed by any five
letters strung along wall
Now that electric servants have
relieved women of the drudgery of
homework, they've become so restless
that they want to stay out half the night.
Exchange.
Restlessness is not the cause of this night
life. The women have become so keen about
electricity that they are staying up to enjoy the
bright lights.

For long time The Gazette has advocated
a new charter for Redwood Falls We were
pleased to see, in the last issue of contem-
porary publication, that it advocates the same
thing. Now, if the two papers are made to feel
that the townspeople are taking the least bit of
an interest," are in any sense alive to the
for this document, Redwood Falls
may get one yet.

President J. F. Reed of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation has it all figured out that
the opening of the st. Lawrence waterway means
a saving of ten cents per bushel on the carriage
charge of grain from Duluth to Liverpool. That
where it costs 34.4 cents to ship bushel,
over this water route it could be shipped for 244
cents. If any argument were needed to urge the
farmer to help this cause in any way that he
can it appears that Mr.. Reed has supplied it.

The LOUISVILLE Times has highly original
If slightly caustc solution of the respect-for-
law question in the following paragraph:
If it be true that there are 200
professional automobile thieves in St.
Louis alone, it must be because all re-
spect for law has been destroyed by
laws prohibiting automobile stealing, or
at least providing punishment for that
offense. Possible modification Of the
present law, for example, law permit
ting theft Of light automobiles and 4
trucks, might restore respect for law.

The Redwood Gazette has figured out that
the sum of $40 day goes out of the Redwood
postoffice the year round for orders to mail
order houses. If every resident of Redwood Falls
and every farmer within a radius of Is miles
could only have dream some night and see just
what would happen if all of Redwoods stores
suddenly went out of business there would not
be s14 day going out Of town. The home town
merchant does not need to appeal for our business
on a mere basis of home town loyalty. The NAH
who sends money away from home, whether he
be farmer or town dweller, IL using mighty poor
business sense From selfish standpoint alone
he should trade at home.-Cottonwood County
Citizen.

We believe the decision of the banks in this
vicinity to make monthly charge for the carry
ing of accounts with small balances is entirely
fright and justifiable. The larger banks of the
Twin Cities have made this charge for a
siderable period and well established banks all
over the northwest are now following the prac-
tice. There is no reason why bank should lose
money because it has accounts with an average
balance of less than fifty dollars-but that is
exactly what has been happening in many Of
these institutions. The decision on the part of
the banks to make this charge win possibly ac-
lcomplish two results. Assmedly it win help to
meet, by the payment of this legitimate sum, the
banks Overhead. Just possibly it win make
some of us who have let our accounts slip down
until they almost disappeared land sometimes
ldo!) realize that with little thrift and economy
it would be possible for to have, at all times,
Ia reasonable bank balance. Must be q comfort
