Thanksgiving Turkey Yields Gold Nugget
Headline. Seems only right that at least one
turkey should return something which at least
approaches what he cost.

We wonder if those folks down in Washing
ton, D. c., realize who gave them the Mississip-
p anyway. Fine Mississippi they'd have if Min
nesota hadn't given them the start!

An English woman has designed a locomo-
tive with a view of diminishing the amount of
time and power for starting. We hope the lady
inventor knows how to stop the thing! Harking
back to our own experience in learning to mobol-
ize "motah" we remember that stopping was
the big difficulty
In Germany the law requires all employers
to include in their personnel at least two per
cent of disabled men and women. If this were
true in Minnesota about half of the problems Of
the rehabilitation department would be solved.
Wouldn't it be fine thing if United States peo-
pie were to do voluntarily what Germany does
through force!
The Northwest has a perfect right to be
peeved. Down in Washington they stall and stall
anu SCdll some more Oh Tie GIedt LAKES WATER
way plan-just mark time endlessly! Then,
down in the same little village, they pay no at
tention when the midwest protests against the
way the barge traffic of the Mississippi is be-
ing handled-or rather mishandled. Certain
people feel that the Northwest is getting the
worst of this political foot ball game and maybe
they are half right. Anyway we insist that this
section has reason for feeling peeved.

Herb Joesting is handling the sale Of Christ
mas Seals on the Minnesota University camp
u.s. A little later, after he gets his degree, Herb
will step out from the School of Forestry and
We'll wager that one of the things he will
deavor to do is to save the Christmas trees-not
by stopping their use but by urging wisdom and
skill in cutting. Herb will still go on being use
full and doing worthwhile things though he
HAS played his last game. His willingness and
ability to do these things is probably of the
reasons why he plays such blamed good ball.

If President Coolidge weren't the president,
we should say that che blew up" the other day
when the United States Chamber of Commerce
declared for much larger slice off Federal taxa
ton than Mr.. Coolidge and his advisors think ad-
visable Call it what you will, Calvin the Cool
was irate and said things, and said them heated
ly! In the face of having had the wisdom of the
United States Treasury on his side Mr.. Cool
idge apparently has the better of the argument.
At least he will have the approval of the major
ity of the American people that this is good
time to proceed with caution. Assuredly we want
no more deficits, and against that possibility the
President and those close to him are trying to
guard.
1t is gratifying to know that the city of
Redwood Falls, assisted by it's Commercial Club,
is to have the opportunity to play host to the
Redwood County Farm Bureau at it's annual
meeting December 9Th. This is probably the
most important organization in Redwood County
and it is in any other county dependent for it's
life upon the agricultural interests. The Farm
Bureau in Redwood has always been big factor
in the progress of the County and will continue
so to be- 1t should be twice as large as it is
but that's because those who foolishly stand
ing the outside don't know the many advan-
tages of being on the inside. At any rate, Red
wood Falls should be proud to play host, and we
hope every person in the city helps to make the
day pleasant and profitable.

Victor Lawson, owner of the Willmar Trib-
une, has set one thousand charter subscribers as
a requirement before announcement is made of
the date of the first publication of his daily paper
Six hundred of that number have signed, but the
last four hundred are tagging. That seems a
silly and senseless thing to do. Editor Lawson
has proved, through long years of splendid SER
vice, that he publish a newspaper which is
a credit and an asset to any community Now
that he is about to give his community better
and bigger service, as he has shown he is quite
capable of doing, it seems, We repeat, silly and
senseless, for the members of that community
to hold back for the matter of few dollars
and mighty few at that. Probably no town in
the state has placed so many marks of progress
upon its map during the past year as has Will
mar. daily paper will be just one more evil
dence that the town has hit its pace on the trail
forward.

The Mankato Free Press, in its Round Our
Town" column rings in an interesting change
on the age-old comparison of "Peter and Paul"
