THIS AND THAT

Winding your own business is an eX

minimum expenditure of energy.

The supreme joke of 1927, in our humble
opinion, is the contention of Hoovers enemies
that he is not eligible for the presidency because
he has lived abroad so much that he doesn't
comply with the Constitutions fourteen-year re-
quirement. We suppose these same enemies
want to call 'time out" for the years Hoover
spent abroad in connection with his war work
and other work for his Government. If that is
the only thing to be found against this man who
has long doomed on Americas horizon as one of
her biggest men, we'd say he is quite likely to be

WEDNESDAY,, DECEMBER %, 1927.
FOR 1928.


n EDWOOD County wants lot of things in
X 1928 and they are not the things that cost
money, nor can they be bought for money.
They must be paid for in unselfshness, in vision,
in thoughtfulness-and they are the only things
that count in the ultimate progress, prosperity
and happiness of community and its people.
We want tolerance for others views, but
absolute intolerance for the breaking of the
laws of the State and the Nation. We want more
real neighborliness among the people in the
towns and the people on the farms in order that
they may understand each other better and thus
be more patient and more kindly.
We want more cooperation between the citi-
zens of the County and the officials who are en-
deavoring to make it fit place for the residence
of law-abiding citizens. When that cooperation
is achieved the County's desrability as place
in which to live will have increased one hundred
per cent
We want a closer acquaintance between tie
teachers and the parents in all the schools of the
county. Those schools constitute the biggest
business in the County and the directors of school
children in both the homes and the schools must
know each others problems if they are to do the
best for these youngsters upon whom the future
Of the County depends. &C., '~--
We want more of an understanding of the
social and welfare problems of the County-not
that may gossip and gasp over the awfulness
of them but that we may help or at least not
hinder, the Welfare Board it's worker and the
County Commissioners in the splendid work they
are endeavorng to do. This is one of the big
gest needs for the new year-as it has been one
of the individual citizens biggest neglects dur
ing 1927.
We want the boys and girls of the All Clubs
to have the admiration and cooperation of every
thoughtful person in the County; the understand
ing cooperation of people who know these
youngsters to be of infinitely greater value than
the calves and lambs which they raise. We want
to make it possible that the future Redwood
County shall have many, many Master Farmers,
each just good the present of
whom the County is prideful.
We want-and we want-and we want! All
of these things and many others do want
all tangible all obtanable if we set about it
right, and all very possible if give them a
good push early in the new year.
They are, we repeat, not to be bought with
money. They can only be had by putting into
everyday practice our Chrstmas-learned lesson
of LOVE for our neighbor-love which shall at
least equal that which we have for ourselves.

7 ERE are the losses of the World
n War, accurately as they can be
determined:
known dead ---- 9,9SS,771
Presumed dead ---- 2,9918
Severely wounded ------- 2,295,522
Otherwise wounded -----14,O03,512
Property loss $1,000 $29,960,0 100000
Direct cost money $1s6,333, 637 ,O97
Gas was new, submarines were new,
airplanes were new, when the World
War started. Recall the progress in
these three means of destruction made
since July 1914. Imagine the progress
that will be made in them the next 10
or 20 years, besides the progress in the
artillery and the small arms!
In the light of these facts isn't pre-
paration for peace the most important
subject for this civilization to consider?

nal.

osses is one who advocates peace to be longer
