zETTE, REDWOOD FALLS, MINNESOTA
1t is announced that the sixth vitamin has
been found. Personally we have never even
caught up with the first five.
Redwood Falls has still goal. There are
one hundred, fifty different varieties of iris grown
in the state and more than half of that number
have yet been grown by local florists. So there
is something to be done with this lovely flower
before the next annual flower show rolls round
Ramsey Park is at its lovely best right now
after the rains. If you haven't walked through
some of its paths recently, do it just as soon as
you can get to it. And ride through every eve
ming if you get the chance. A June day or
June evening is never so "rare' and perfect a
thing as when it is spent in old Ramsey.
Upon our return to Redwood Falls after alb
sence for a considerable period we still note that
many business men drive the few blocks from
their homes to their business places-and then
go to the golf course for exercise It's per-
fectly legal and moral thing to do-only it does
sort of show what queer ducks men are.
We would say the appointment of Charles
M Babcock, Minnesota highway commissioner,
one of the eight men to represent the United
States at the Pan American road conference is
a mighty nice little recognition of Mr. Babcock's
work on Minnesota roads. 1t must be real
treat to C. M. to have this little compliment
come to him after so many kicks.
Some trusting soul is going to tell us pref
ty soon that there were no politics played" in
Minneapolis when Bill Nolan was made Con-
gresham, his defeated opponent, Arch Coleman
made assistant to the postmaster general and
Ed. Smith groomed for the job of Minneapolis
postmaster. Some there be who are going to try
to tell us that!
And now the report is going round that Joe
Reynolds has bought a newspaper and will get
back into the country edtorship game. The
newspapers of the state will welcome Joe back
home. He's been fooling around with the good
roads proposition since leaving the Mankato
Fress Press editorial staff several years ago. and
country newspapers have felt his absence from
the ranks of state journalists. Wherever it may
be that Joe is going, that town is getting good
newspaper man, and country newspaperdom re-
gains one of its most valued members.
In letter, replying to a communication
from the Volunteer Committee of Lawyers of
New York. seeking to enlist him on their side of
the argument, District Judge Julius E. Haycraft
Of Fairmont, and well-known here, among the
other things, says that "the saloon was an in
tolerable institution, and disgrace to civiliza-
md =,
as bad, if not worse than the saloon, if such
thing could be possible" The Judge roundly flaws
the members of the New York bar for their eff
forts in attempting to defeat the Eighteenth
amendment, and severely takes them to task for
their efforts. And, by the way, Judge Haycraft
consistently endorses his stand in the premises
by melting out stiff sentences to convicted traf-
fichers in illicit liquor, throughout his judicial
distriet.-Brown County Journal.
Redwood County residents who are interest
ed in early history and modern progress will do
well to attend the Brown County Diamond Jubi-
lee which will take place at New Ulm beginning
July 4th. Both history and progress are on tap
IN New Ulm in way not common to most Min
nesota towns. Seventy-ive years ago when
Brown County was in the making, the present
Redwood County was part of the vast territory
included in the county limits. In fact our own
county was the last bit of this territory to be
separated from the mother county, so the his
torlans tell us. All through the Sioux outbreak
of 90 when settlers of all this section of the
state were terrorized, he people of the two set
Elements were closely united in their defense, in
fact there was much interminglng of those set
tiers at Fort Ridgely. All these things are to
be commemorated more Interestingly next week
at New Ulm. Better take day or two off to
go over, watch the parade which pantomimes the
old times and the new, see the pageant which
will present drama Of the old times, and in
cldentally see of the most perfectly planned
and best groomed cities of the northwest
