THE REDWOOD G
Over a thousand trains leave Chicago ev-
cry day and the crowding on them is something
frightful.
DIR. John w. Holland advises all those who
are inclined to live beyond their means to '.pay
cash and avoid crash" Sounds simple.
William Howard Taft says; people who are
losing money in Wall Street have my deep SYM
pathy, but there seems to be enough money to
lose. That is encouraging"
Rabies have shown up in five Minnesota
counties. It might be as well to watch the stray
dogs for while-and incidentally to keep your
own canine under supervision.
Senator Wheeler of Montana announced to
the Democratic State Central Committee last
week that AL. Smith had won the presidential
election. A bit premature, but no doubt sincere.
One out Of every eight school children in
the United States has defective vision. Perhaps
yours is one of the eight. Better find out before
school opens this fall-it may help the little kid
to make his grade and save him lot of future
And now everybody is curious to know
whether it is Tunney's mental physical PROV
with the huge fortune. Not that it is anyone's
about what doesn't concern them.
King Solomon not only had lot of wives
but he also, if one may judge by his recently
stables, had a fondness for horses and
lots of them. We expect the poker chips will be
the next thing unearthed It's hard ever for
king to conceal things from rabid investigators"
Not everybody in Minneapolis is rolling in
luxury and straight-eight car. When the street
cars were tied up there for five hours last week
several thousand people walked anywhere from
one to six miles to get home to dinner. The
little car token is still one of life's necessities to
the big majority
Simon Michelet, the vote expert down in
Washington, has made survey of voting at past
New York elections and finds that under the
regime of "Boss" Tweed one hundred and eight
per cent of that city's legal and qualified vote
was cast in one election. That should satisfy
even the most ardent "get-out-the-vote" fiend.

The editor of the Fairmont Sentinel was
so kind as to express most amazing regret that
the Small Towner was not in attendance at the
meeting of the Second District Editorial Asso-
citation at it's summer meeting at Fairmont. We
ARE appreciative of Franks kind words-we
always are! But the fly in the ointment is al
ways a curious little lurking wonder if maybe
Franks effusiveness isn't partly a desire to fill
up his allotted space in the Sentinel in the short
est possible time.
Perhaps farm relief lies here:
DR.. Henry G. Knight, chief of the
bureau of chemistry and soils, Depart
ment of Agriculture, says there is an
annual waste of about 100000 tons
American farms which some day
science will turn to practical use. The
job is one for chemists.
Cornstalks, corncobs, grain straws,
sugarcane bagasse, cottonseed and
peanut hulls are among the substances
which DR.. Knight said chemists think
eventually will be generally utilized.
Fundamental research in the chemistry
of agricultural products is held to be
highly desirable to obtain information
regarding the properties of chemical
compounds that may be produced from
such raw materials.
''The chemist" DR.. Knight said
looks upon the products of agriculture
raw materials to be worked up by in
dustry to obtain their hidden values
which, in turn, would decrease present
wastes and relieve the farmer to some
extent by widening the market and stab
ilizing the demand for his products."-
