THE REDWOOD GA1
The man who has to change his mind most
frequently is the man who claims to know all
about women.
A girl had three ribs broken in hugging
match with her best beau-and then she up and
sued him. That should be lfes most terrible
warning to shy young things fond of going on
necking parties.
Victor Butler who has spent twelve years
on the Belgian Congo visited the Minnesota
Legislature last week, saying he wanted "some
excitement" Suppose he yearned for the sight
of wild beasts at their widest
Jim Morrison of the Morris Tribune says
this-and we symphasize with the usually good
natured JIM "Our pet peeve for today is the
person who gets a $500 service out of 25-
cent classified ad., and then lets send six bills
before they remit Every business house in
town has lot of just such petty charges"

Over in Pipestone county the county chapter
of the Isaac Walton League has taken up col
lection to buy feed to keep the pheasants alive.
Because of the snow, the birds would starve
before spring had this help not been given. Of
course the action of the league is not wholly
unselfsh since members have in mind the later
sport of shooting the birds, but they at least
providing them with few more months of life
The Board of Education of Redwood Falls has
done we'll by the district in electing j. H. Wch-
man superintendent of schools for another year.
Mr.. Wchman has done admirable piece of
work in the schools here and the schools and
the community will benefit by continuation of
his administrative and educational methods. We
hope he may see that there is a work worth do
ing here in Redwood Falls and decide to con-
tinue. Other places may offer him certain in
ducements greater than it is possible for the
district here to offer him, but certainly other
school can need him more.
The County Extension Department of Red
wood county is going to have series of smut
demonstrations in that county to show the far
mers how to increase the yield Of wheat. If
they will tell the farmers to forget all about
raising wheat 500 acre land in competition
with North Dakota farmers on $40 an acre land
and advise the farmers to raise more alfalfa,
they will be rendering real service. The far
mers in this vicinity who raise wheat do so at
loss, smut smut, and the they
realize it, the better off they will be.-Spring-
field Advance.
What do you suppose happens to the Ameri-
can tourists memory when he gets over into
Cuba? The police of that island say that these
travellers are the most careless with valuables

worth of valuables have been returned to Ameri-
cans this season. Pocketbooks containing every
thing from $1,000 bills to return tickets to the
United States find their way to police stations
here. Diamond brooches are not rarieties. One
valued at $4,000 was recently found in gutter,
advertised and claimed by it's owner
That Cuban Stuff must be mighty potent
go
There is an increasingly large number of
Minnesotans in favor of the county assessor plan
in order that there may be uniformity in the
valuation of property and something at least
approaching equality in the payment Of taxes.
There is no reason why one part of the county
should bear than its share of the county
financial burden just because its assessor is more
exacting-and the reverse is also true. One of
the things we are hoping for from the present
session of the legislature is the revision of the
assessor law so that it will provide for one such
and only one in each county.

Although the general death rate from tu-
berculosis has continued to decline since 1900
the death rate among young women has steadily
increased, and the death rate among women
from fifteen to twenty-five is half again great
as among men of the same age. Doctors have
had no difficulty in finding the causes. Too many
girls in their teens wear too little clothing be-
cause it is fashionable, eat too little because it
is the fashion to be terribly slim, and get too
little sleep because late parties are all the go.
The cause being so clear, the remedy is simple,
and easy. Whether, without changing the fash
ions, it will be easy to get the girls to take the
remedy of more clothing, more food and more
sleep, is another matter. But certainly it is worth
while trying to get them to see the wisdom of it,
and those who are supporting this campaign are
doing some useful public work-Duluth Herald.
