The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1928-02-15

If as many cars are actually sold in 1928 as
the dealers at last weeks auto show prophesied,
well each of US have at least two apiece.

One of life's most dsillusioning moments
comes when what one thinks is shadow in the

The Portland Express insists that society al
ways pays for its sins. 1t once made little
Willie speak pieces on Friday afternoon and now
it has to listen to his after-dinner speeches.

A lot of Lowdenites who think they have
Hoover backed off the political map before he
has even tried to get on it have forgotten to
reckon with Ivan Bowen.

With every car in the Twin Cities all but
turning summersaults on the icy pavements last
week the automobile men attending the show had
mighty hard time arguing that there really is
such thing as a non-skid tire. We don't think
any of them even tried to argue the question with
the cab drivers.

The man most frequently and valiantly hated
during the ice nd-water period of last week was
the who drove fast past the street crossings,
thereby splashing literally the clothing of pass
ing pedestrians. Feminine wearers of light
colored hose the strongest haters of this
travesty upon automobile drivers.

Mrs. j. K. Campbell, of Slayton, is mention
ed favorably as delegate to the republican ma
tional convention at Kansas City next summer
Minnesota women could well be proud of being
represented by a woman of the cleverness,
shrewness and ability of Mrs. Campbell. Re-
publican women voters in the state should get
back of her candidacy.-Bob Forrest

Rudolph Lee editor of the Long Prairie
Leader refuses to be taken in by any argument
that Shipstead holds the balance of power and
is therefore necessary to Minnesota's represen-
tation in Washington. "While it might be pos
sible mathimatically," says Mr.. Lee, "for situa-
ton to arise in which Shipstead's vote would be
the deciding vote in some matter of legislation,
the fact is that such situation has yet arisen"

Mabe Moreaux of the Luverne Herald, whose
enthusiasm in behalf of the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence waterway is inspiring, never lets a
week go by without some interesting allusion in
his paper to that great project. "The second,
third and fifth largest cities in the United States
are on the Great Lakes" he reminded the world
last week, "but their relative positions are des-
tined to be changed with the opening of their
harbors to ocean shipping Duluth Herald

Don't flatter yourself that the liquor your
friend is Offering you is 'the real thing" There
is very little genuine liquor left if may believe
the results recently published by the Minneapo-
lis laboratory. Of the 3O85 samples tested
there in 1927 only 76 were the real article. You
are much more apt to get poisonous bootleg
stuff than you are to get sip from one of these
seventy-six. Whatever may be your views on
obeying the prohibition laws, it will be wise for
you to consider what drinking this stuff may do
to the laws of health.

Don't look at other people through other
peoples eyes, Hating or disliking someone be-
cause someone else does, and for no other rea-
son, is both vicious and unfair. Many fine
friendship is lost because we take up the dis
likes of our associates. Friendship doesn't re-
quire that you should dislike the people your
friends dislike any more than it requires that
you should be intimately friendly with all your
friends friends regardless of their worth. All
of US can have enemies enough in our own right
without taking on those of our friends or as
sociates and none of US can have too many
friends.-Luverne Herald.

1t is figured that about 20 900 per-
sons will be killed and 100000 hurt by
automobiles in 1928. If every driver
took it seriously his heart to see that
nobody was hurt as the result of his per-
sonal carelessness, think of the thous-
ands who would be cut off this estimate.
It's great personal responsibility-to
be borne by every man and woman who
drives a motor car, and to be borne by
every pedestrian also. For pedestrians
have no more right to be careless than
drivers.-Grove Patterson.
Makes one afraid to either ride, drive or
walk. About the only thing left for US to do
is to sit and look out of the window, because too
many of us Americans have the bunch that be-
ing careless and speedy is both smart and an
American divine right.
