The instalment plan keeps on growing. The
new problem is to work out plan whereby pur-
chasers may pay their installments by install

If the government is to continue to print
velopes at less than cost why not lend money at
two percent interest in competition with the
banks, sell groceries at less than cost and put
good wool dress for women on the market for
dollar ?-Anoka Herald
The American Legion is doing good stunt
in sponsoring Junior Baseball teams-we hope
Redwood Falls will have several that will just
beat every team within radius of fifty miles,
and then go down to Minneapolis and beat up
the whole United States. If the kids want to
play ball, let them PLAY BALL. and the Legion
back them up.
j. C. Penney, founder of the famous line
of Penney stores, comes out square-toed on
the booze question and says: "No candi-
date, no political party, not declaring un-
equivocally for prohibition law enforcement,
can have my vote" And it hasn't hurt Mr..
Penney's business.-Ex.
Not penney's worth!

ment is made by Herb Hotaling, secretary of the

Two million girls work for a living in
this country-2,0 900 too many. American
girls should be married, producing good
children for the next generaton.-Ar-

Is it possible that rearing family is not
working for living?" Too many girls in
it harder task than working in the business
world-thats why 100000 of them there.
AS though the Republican party in Minnesota
had not had enough of false issues, the delegates
to the national convention chose to defer the ell
ection of the woman member of the national COM
mittee, thus creating an issue where none need
to be. Whether the delegation preferred Mrs
Fosseen or preferred to elect someone else is
not the question so much as is the utter sillin-
ess of having postponed this thing and made it
another party difference. Of trivialities, and
worse, there seems end.

Redwood county folk still maintain their
faith in the Red Cross-at least some of them
do-and it is gratifying to note that the num-
Der of members is greater for this year than
last. We confidently expect this number to in
crease each year, as more and more people come
to know of the great value of the social service
work which is financed in part by "The Great
est Mother of Them ALL" It's like old times to
see list of members with Walnut Grove and
Milroy we'll towards the top

Better "check" yourself over by this:
There is a certain type of man in every
community who poses as good citizen. He
breaks no laws, lives morally, pays his hon.
est debts and is never tangled up with the
law in any manner. But he lives by himself
exclusively. When the call is issued for vol
unteers to put across community move
ment and give boost, he never answers.
When calamity has befallen people in GER
tain localities and charity flies to their
rescue he is never one of their number.
When money is needed for public enter
prise his name is never on the list. When he
some neighbor stuck in the mud he de-
tours to avoid him. In fact, if he stood on
the shore and saw the ship of state sinking
he would never offer to throw out a line.
And if all mankind was fashioned from this
kind of chap what would happen? There
would be no churches, no hospitals for the
sick, no institutions for the unfortunate, no
progress If you are about to become a use
less good citizen" read this editorial again.

The Minneapolis board of education is en-
deavoring to dispose of several of its teachers
who have apparently ceased to do adequate
work. One teacher who has taught for forty
five years, questions the perfection of so-called
modern methods of education. She also pro-
tests against the statement that her health and
age auger against her teaching. Here is her ali
bi against the claim made by the board.
