QUICK FROZEN POULTRY

A new method of marketing frozen
poultry by preparing it full drawn
has come into considerable use in the
last few years, says the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. After the poul-
try is dressed, the head, feet, and en-
trails are removed, and the giblets
are cleaned, wrapped in parchment or
waxed paper, and replaced. Then the
whole carcass is frozen by a quick
process and marketed in a frozen
state. 1t is thought that the meat is
sweeter and finer favored than when
the entrails are not removed; and re-
moval of the inedible parts saves
freight.

Why Not Four Precincts?


should be an equal representation in the city council
government but if the wards are divided accord
ing to population it does not necessarily follow that
this is equally apportioned among voters.
With the growth of the city wards increase
while others may decrease and suggested change
meets stubborn resistance from those who refuse to
depart from the traditional established plan The re-
cent attempt by Minneapolis to change it's ward areas

defeat
Even in Redwood Falls the ward system is not ideal
at election time. The second ward has approximately
200 voters than the first. All told there were
something like 1900 votes better cast in the Nov
ember general election. 1t would be economical
efficient and in every speed up election results
there were three four precincts alloting 300 or
400 votes to be cast and counted in each precinct.
Dissatisfied with the two ward-precinct polling
plan the City Council of ST. Peter have taken action
to establish two precincts in each ward in order to
speed counting, acting the theory that so hours
of continuous duty the part of judges and cleo
ton officials is too much, that may occur when
the human mind and body become fatigued

The Trading Hub

n contemporary newspaper editorially remarked
~ about what made the ''wheels go round" in that
city, Monday afternoon just as busy as
many other towns might be Saturday night. The
editor thought it due to the reputation established by
merchants, for a period of a good many years, by
reasonable diversified and friendly service"
We agree with his point of view. Serve the
toner fairly and squarey and he will always come
back This is what has led to the phenomenal growth
of the department stores in the cities. Their motto
is "the customer is always right" pleased patron
keeps coming back and with each return trip to a
particular place of business he becomes valuable
and is just worthy of attention if he there
for the first time. Some merchants make the mis-
take of becoming Indifferent with their regular
toners while eager to serve the Others slight
the new in their frenzy to wait on the established
trade. Both to the extremes There must be some
medium whereby each is properly served and cared for
Redwood Falls has envable reputation for be-
ing trading hub Merchants haven't many dull days
during the week. The streets active with automo
biles coming and going, bringing and returning trad

and it cannot be otherwise than that they know they

Old Notions

q II ONTEvIDEO adopting charter of city OF
MI the fourth class, showed good sense by abolish
Ava ing the ward system. There isn't a valid
son for any city being subdivded into wards but the
thing started years ago, and there have always
been wards, and you can't get the notion out of the
public noggin that ought always to have them
Fairmont Sentinel
Old notions are hard to get rid of. They cling
to us like dear memories. Springfield has two wards
other cities have wards 1t is the only system
we ever knew and followed it. There is not real
advantage in the ward system for the small city, But
it is the custom and custom holds fast in its grip.
Montevideo has defed custom. If the system works
out satisfactorily watch the trend of other cities in
the same direction.-Springied Advance-Press.

No Words For SOS
n ANY arguments have been INDUCED in to the
MI words for which the distress signal SOS stand.
Az Some have thought they stood for 'Save Our
Ship" "Save Our Souls or other similar sentences
According to the Navy Department the letters
are authorizations at ALL being merely arbitrary
signal selected because of the simplicity of making
and understanding it in dot-and-dash code.
In this code is made by three dots, o by three
dashes SO the signal SOS is expressed by three dots
three dashes and another three dots.
Prior to 1912 the radio distress signal was COD,
which some said stood for "Come Quick; Distress"
Whether this superstition is not that's the
idea it sought to convey.
Ten-cent fools with half cent cigarettes cost the
United States millions of dollars, untold numbers of
lives of wild folk and some human lives in forest,
grass and brush fires every year.

Service to Our Readers

newspapers first consideration is service to it's
~ reader audience at all times. At other time
4 is this apparent than at election.
Thousands of readers mind and the question
that is uppermost is "who won?"
In seeking to convey this to it's readers in
city and country newspaper centers its forces to-
ward this end to the extent of putting extra
help and added hours that the inquistive public may
learn quickly possible the they camor for.
The Redwood Gazette aware of it's responsibility,
fit to hold its edition sufficiently long to enable
it to print fairly comprehensive unofficial return in
the issue Immediately after the election, that this
curiosity of the public might be satisfied.
There is no law compelling paper to do this,
but newspaper who would not take the initiative to
tabuate the returns feature the election results is
unworthy of it's Few readers perhaps, even
stop to consider the extra effort newspaper force
exerts in attaining this news they so eagerly await
1t meant many sleepless hours for the men of the
press not only with the Redwood Gazette but every
other county seat weekly throughout the state tab
ulating, adding figuring checking and also reayng by
telephone returns to the metropolitan papers, who
with similar of duty, conducted this service to
its readers state wide scale.
The reader must be served for he is supreme.
