This week another education convention is
being held at the University Of Minnesota, and
educators from all over the state, including local
school officers, are meeting to talk over their
problems to keep abreast of new findings and
theories.
Little attention is ever paid these conven-
tons outside of educational circles, but such eff
forts to keep improving our school systems
should meet with the approval of every citizen in
the state.
Without public support no school program
can be carried out, no matter how enthusiastic
teachers, principals, and superintendent may be.
There is increasingly less and less guesswork
in public education. Large stats of experiment
ers and research workers are constantly working
at the University, and their findings are making
possible the elimination of haphazard education.
We as individuals encourage this work
by showing our appreciation for what at best is
little more than thankless task.

badly soon discovers that she will have to go to
her local merchant in short time to replace the
second rate article she got Eat such bargain!"
The lure of "a bargain" is irresistible but
your local merchants offer you better bargains
every day than you can get from an intierant
peddler. Your home merchant is a citizen of
your town, he pays taxes, and supports the COM
munity. 1t is to his best interest to see that
his customers get square deal all the time.
What inducement has a peddler to give you the
same square deal? He is passing through the
neighborhood in hurry grabbing all the orders
he can get. He need not worry about your being
satisfied with your purchase. Tomorrow he will
be miles away in another town repeating his
house to house offers of "the best on the market
at half of what you would pay at home"
The peddler is usually "1oater." In most
cases they are not property owners, they have
no taxes to pay establishment to keep up.
The money paid them leaves the community
when it rightly should be distributed among the
business concerns that are helping to support
schools, churches and other community in
situations.

Tariff Means Protection

Right now is the time to get back of de-
mand for an emergency farm tariff bill. The
rural editors who sponsoring the Minnesota
Plan of Farm Relief are trying to do their share
The northwest is suffering from the practical
application Of "free trade" We are suffering
from logical development of the demands of
the theorists who in years past, told us that
if country could not produce article as
cheaply as it could be bought, then our land, our
capital and our labor should be- shifted to the
production for which the country is fitted" In
practice the application of this theory is
chiefly responsible for our troublesome farm
crop surplus. Instead of protecting flax
because it was cheaper and thus Indirect
ly we have forced the flax farmer to
grow other crops. Instead of preventing beef
imports when the Argentine supply became
menacing we let beef come practically free
and in effect told our beef raisers to turn to
wheat and cotton for the market Instead of
stopping the imports of fruits and vegetable oils
from low-wage countries, we kept the door open
and in effect told our farmers (who could just
as well have produced these commodities)
to jump into the surplus crop activities for
wheat and cotton for the market. Instead of
building fourishing beet and corn sugar in
dustry to take farm land and farm labor away
from surplus crop production, we have made
ourselves the dumping ground for sugar imports.
This paper could go down the line with other
illustrations, all showing how, for lack of
common sense tariff to keep out products we
could just as we'll produce here in America, we
have imported these products and forced our
farmers to limit the variety of their crops until
today we producing these crops in great
surplus, to the ruin of American agriculture.
1t would seem that the common sense way to
meet the situation is to put up the tariff we neg
lected to put up years ago, thereby keeping out
imports and turning acres now devoted to pro-
ducing crops in surplus, to the production of
these imported crops. This paper asks that
northwest sentiment unite behind the rural edit
in demanding proper tariff legislation from
the coming session of congress.

For Appearances Sake

The first day of spring has passed by and
before long the first day of summer will be with
U.S. In turn the first day Of fall and the first
day of winter again roll along. Thus the circle
goes, and only seldom is group asked to pay
any special attention to any one of the Big
Days.
We are only making the suggestion, sug-
gestion which has the hearty commentator OF
Mayor White, that Redwood Falls follow nature
in sprucing up for the spring and summer sea-
son.
AS individuals we change our dress and are
usually fond of poisoning forth in all of the
colors which can possibly be combined by manu-
facturers, and yet we seldom worry much about
our collective appearance town.
Clean up weeks have to be part of
many communities with surprisingly worthwhile
results. Why not in Redwood?
There will be hosts of tourists here this
summer. Two conventions already planned
for Redwood, and if there is but one impression
carried away from any community you many be
sure that that impression will have something
to do with the general brightness and freshness
of that community.
Minneapolis thought it sufficiently worthwhile
last year to assess merchants $40 to keep every
corner decorated with fresh flowers throughout
the entire summer. Other cities like Redwood
have successfully demonstrated that such plans
can be worked out.
The big word in such things is cooperation.
The means to the end include a little time,
little thought, and can of paint.

Hidden In A Greeting
"a Happy Easter!"


Once more the season occasions the utterance
of the familiar greeting between friends. 1t is
an unpretentious sounding phrases with SEEM
ingly little significance, but rich in meditative
value Each word alone means relatively little
to us. Combine them into the beautiful greet
ing and reserve expression of them until the
Feast day, and we have the essence Of real sent
ment.
The festival of the Resurrection of Jesus
Christ probably derives its name from Eastre, the
Saxon goddess of light and Spring, whose festival
was annually kept about the same time as Easter.
She is the historic symbol of new Life, the re-
birth of Nature, and the stimulus for new
Thoughts.
Easter was formerly the favorite time for
for performing the rite of baptism. The courts
of justice were closed, the aims dispensed to the
poor and needy, who were even feasted in the
churches. Slaves also received their freedom at
this season.
When we nonchalantly sing out to all, "A
Happy Easter!" We scarcely realize the pre-
ponderance Of the wish we express.
Behind those few words, lies the desire that
our friends will find new Life, that the daily
burden will be lightened by change of heart;
that Easter will create within us greater courage,
more forbearance toward our fellow workers,
and inspire in us irmer faith in our Creator.
With these concepts in mind, the editors
of the Gazette heartily extend to the residents
of Redwood Falls, the age-old greeting
"a Happy Easter, Everyone!"

What Price, Beauty!

Missouri has been receiving much praise
and well earned prase-for actually taking steps
to beautify it's highways. Miles of trees and
shrubbery have been planted along the roads of
the state along with historical markers.
What would happen in Minnesota if we
should drive along the highways and fail to learn
how Whatthiz shaving cream dissolves the beard
Or how this thing and that thing does this thing
and that thing? 1t would be too bad if we had
to forego this short course education for the sake
Of beauty.
Such plan would also mean that we would
have to part with the artistic lite chicken shacks
and barns which blatantly appeal to the hungry
traveller who isn't particular about his food
No, mustn't forget that planting trees
would eliminate these things. And another thing,
such program would destroy of our present

we can tell the judge that the highway adorn-
ments are SO ugly we were speeding to get away
from them.

From the ALBANY Evening News

From the Albany Evening News.
Man is always trying to see little far
ther, to know more. He Is always cropping

scope, when 1t is completed at the Cali

be powerful instrument, with 10 times
the power of the 100-inch reflector on
Mount Wilson. 1t will penetrate three
times farther into space and will have
80 times as much volume as the great
est telescopes now in existence.
When that telescope has been COM
pleted and has been in use for while
man will build greater telescope still
He will not be content with what he has
done. He must do more. He dreams of
shooting rockets to the moon, Of some
times communicating with Mars. These
are just dreams and we consider them
as such, but If man had not dreamed
of what seemed impossible that which
exists today could not have been.
Dreams of yesterday are realities today
and the new dreams of today may be
realities tomorrow.
We have not reached the sum of hui
man knowledge. We have not attained
the heights to which the mind Of man
can ascend. It has taken all these
centuries to reach the North Pole, to
transmit words and music thousands

that came television, and after television
