THE REDWOOD GA
Every cloud has silver lining. The trouble
is to get the cloud tipped at such an angle that
that lining may be seen.
Charley Cheney of the Minneapolis Journal
thinks it pity Marion Talley isn't going to
keep pigs con her farm because she could give
such dandy demonstration of hog-calling con-
tests they should be.
The Chicago police force used the radio to
broadcast the notice of burglary to members
of its force. Nice little scheme-the only draw
back being that the burglar was listening in
too, and made his getaway. Some dumb police
force, we'd say!
Carl Eastwood who has been hobnobbing
with the nabobs down in Washington all winter
is out with several cute alibis and also excuses
for the Gam fanfare. Carl might just as well
hush as far as we are Commemorative still think
the whole Gam fracas was what is spoken of
vu,garly as "mess."
A man claims to have invented a machine
that will cure hams in nine hours and make them
better tasting than the old-tyle cured one We
nave no grounds for doubling the first part of
his statement but there is process in the world
that can make ham staste as good as the corcob
Shaking that it got in the old smoke house lon,y
ago.
Life still holds something of sweetness and
Eight. It's almost time to plant broad acres of
cabbages, then Springfield will make gallons and
barrels and tons of succulent sauer kraut and
ivHys% oil h.
free feed. That's something to keep US cheered
up in prospect all summer We hope somebody
in Springfield will grow some stuffed peppers
that will be ready to serve on that day. Person
ally we are for em.
More than one-third of million of the boys
and girls of the United States were enrolled in
All club work in 1923, this being an increase of
$4,000 more than the year before. Projects were
brought to full completion by 477,OOO of these
youngsters. It's nice to think that Redwood
County has so many of its young people engaged
in this nationwide work. and too bad that more
of those who should be in-still stand on the
outside
Colonel Charlie March, formerly of Itch
field and now representative of the federal
trade commission at Washington will go to
Rittsburg soon to conduct "trade practice
ference" on the plumbing and heating industry
The outline says that there will be discussion
of breach of contract, unbranded products sell
ing below cost, anti-dumping and secret rebates
But not word is said about time out for left
behind tools nor for cleaning up the ashes from
| the basement floor after bout with the furnace

Tho Ouafonna Journa Chronicle ron,arks
Sixty-seven members of the Minnesota
house of representatives voted for sal
airy increase from 81, 900 to $1,000 on the
ground that cit will attract better men
to seek legislative office" They are
willing to serve their state to the degree
of giving up their legislative seats when
these better men are named, we infer.
''Yes, of course but where are you going
| to find better men ?"-asks the Minneapolis
Journal.
The senate is accused of running the ex-
penses of the legislature up several thousands
of dollars higher than it was in 1925 and 1927.
In order to remedy the matter the senate thinks
| perhaps it will refuse to vote the customary
bonus to employees-the bonus which every per-
son employed was given to expect would be paid
him. That's cute little idea on the part of the
senate. Somehow we don't believe the old tim
ers who have stood for fairness all these years
will let that injustice be done. Perhaps the 1881
senate will not be so eager to employ help in
the ration of 118 employees to 81 senator's. Then
| the extra expense problem won't loom quite so
| large.

news paragraph says that of the Protest
ant clergymen who responded to QUESTIONABLE
on the subject Al per cent declared their disbe-
lief in hell, and 60 per cent professed belief in
personal devil, although they do not believe
that he inhabits a hell of burning birthstone.
Some surprise has been expressed at the proper
ton of those who do not hold to the beliefs of
former generations on these subjects. The real
cause for surprise lies in the other direction. It
seems scarcely possible that So per cent of any
group of men sufficiently educated to serve as
ministers of the gospel actually believe in ply
steal, material hell, OR that go per cent of them
believe in the personal devil who once was fear
