The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1927-09-21

It cost the editor of one Of our exchanges
$2O3 during 1926 to set into type church notices,
notices of aid society meetings, etc.. service
he rendered without charge to his own church
and to all other churches in his town. What
other business contributes as much to worthy
cause? Certainly the newspaper deserves good
will and support in return.-St. Peter Herald.

One of our damp friends who doesn't feel
favorable to the dry regime says "The reason
you don't see so many DRINKS the street now
as before prohibition is because the stuff they
drink now paralyzes kills them before they
get as far as the street." Unintentionally he
voices good reason for leaving the stuff alone.

The Redwood Falls Board of Education has
shown it's usual good judgment in securing the
temporary services of school nurse early in
the year. This is assuredly of where
prevention is the best cure, and the city may
be saved thousands of dollars, uselessly spent
on half full classes, in case an epidemic is pre-
vented by physical examinations now. This is
only one of many good points in the employment
of such a member on the faculty. We hope be-
fore too many years have elapsed that Redwood

la nurse for the whole year round.

Because the peoples made by Min
nesotas disabled veterans under Legion
Auxiliary auspices at Boston Block,
Minneapolis, considered by the
national president, Mrs. Adalin Wright
Macauley, as the most beautiful they
were chosen to form a wreath which
will be placed on the tomb of Americas
Unknown Soldier in Washington and on
that of Frances Unknown Soldier in
Paris. Disabled veterans are now busy
making forget-me-nots for the Armis-
tice celebrations. An order for 10000
was recently received from Texas
American Legion News.
Isn't that nice! Especially so when we stop
to remember that these Minnesota peoples are
made by Redwood Falls own Maude Gibson
Winter and the disabled veterans working under
her direction

Since the death of ]. Ogden Armour in Lon
don, it comes to light that he lost most of his
fortune following the World war, through fluc-
tation of prices and the shrinkage of securities.
It is said that he lost million dollars per day
for 100 days. He did not pay any income tax
IOT the years OF 1870 dnQ 1919, MS explanation
being that his losses were larger than his in
come. Many of those, who took large profits
during the war found following the armistice
that their fortunes quickly disappeared in loss
es. Radicals, such as Brookhart, Townley, Ship
stead, La Toilette ct al, are never heard prating
about the losses large industrial enterprises took
during the period following the World war, but
are forever and anon telling the people that
capital is responsible for the losses suffered by
labor and agriculture. County Journal.

Horace Roberts of Mankato, referee in bank
ruptcy for twenty two counties of southern Min
nesota, including our own, reports that there is
an encouraging decrease in the number of peo-
pie taking the Nelson cure. Mr. Roberts at
tributes this to the gradual return to normal
agricultural and business conditions during the
past year. Whatever its cause it is encouraging
and reassuring. The number of bankruptcies
during the past year is the smallest since 1921,
the height of the fatal "boom period" July
1926, there were 221 such cases reported, and
for the year ending July LIST of 1927, the num-
Der had dropped to 166. We call this an en-
couragin' sort of a report. There are still un-
doubtedly lot of folks just hanging Only
the skin of their teeth"-but as long as they
do hang until they can once more get firm
grasp, the situation is hopeful.

| A. F. Rams member of the Redwood Coun-
ty Fair Board, talked some good straight COM
mon sense to the stock breeders Of several coun-
ties in this locality, at recent meeting held at
Sleepy Eye. The stockmen were assembled to
talk over the advisability of starting district
fair all their own because they are displeased
with the amount of the premiums paid them by
the various Fair Boards. There had been much
talk of Fair TRUST" and the necessity of the
Farmers forming trust to bust it." Mr..
Rams, himself a fair director and with full
realization Of what the expenses of such an or
ganization are, advocated moving with caution.
And he told the stockbreeders some good hard
facts that may well have made them more
thoughtful and less speedy. He advocated that
they try to understand the problems of the men
responsible for the success of the various coun-
ty fairs; that they consider in dollars and cents
the value of the advertising they get from ex-
Ihibiting at these fairs-in short he advocated a
studv of the problems involved and suggested
