Turning SLOW Sales
into Quick Turnover

For Redwood Falls Merchants Only. Being
~ businessmen.
IN this the last of series of six editorials the basic
idea advanced in the preceding five is emphasized.
That idea, simply, is this:
You've got to put forth every effort to keep Red
wood Falls folk coming to your stores and buying in
your store
Advertising in your local home newspaper can
help accomplish that aim. Not only your adver-
tisng but the advertising of the manufacturers whose
goods you stock we'll.
You cannot get the advertising support of these
manufacturers merely wishing for it. You've got to
make the manufacturers realize how necessary it is
to you, if you to sell their goods successfully.
And you make the manufacturers realize it
by selling their statesmen who call you Redwood
Falls-by interesting them in Redwood Falls as an
outlet for your merchandise-by interesting them in
your local, home newspapers the means to more
sales of your merchandise in Redwood Falls.
This is opportunity, you merchants of Red
wood Falls that you should make the most of, one
that may mean all the difference between slow, in
frequent sales and quick, profitable turnover. You
need the advertising aid of the manufacturers whose
goods you stock-ur.e their statesmen to recommend
your local home newspapers
This newspaper has joined small town
papers all the country in a nationwide
campaign to convince national advertisers that
they can best assist small town merchants by
advertising in the local. home town newspa-

Taft and Hughes

TH1S month the end of the long and useful
public career of William Howard Taft the only
who has ever occupied in turn the Offices
of President and Chief Justice of the United States
Ill health caused him to resign from the latter office
at the of seventytwo, after nearly half century
of almost continuous public service.
Among the positions held by him during this long
State federal circuit judge, president of the Philippine
Commission, first civil governor of the Philippines,
secretary of acting provisional governor of Cuba
President of the United States and finally chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes, who has been appointed

ed of living Americans, and is sixtyseven years
of age He first became nationally prominent as coun-
sci for the Armstrong insurance investigating COM
mission of the New York legislature in 1905.

Both outgoing and incoming chief justices have
the confidence and esteem of their fellow countrymen
in the highest degree and both have been among
the outstanding figures of their time in world affairs

Think This Over

Think This Over
It is serious reflection upon the common sense of
the American people that they fuss and fume
relatively unmportant matters while almost ignor-
ing the real national menace-death by motor
cident.
Automobile accidents resulted in more than 3d.
600 deaths in the United States last year, increase
OF nearly thirteen per cent 1928 If the present
Indifference to this terrible slaughter continues 1880
will see still greater number of victims.
We get excited over prohibition and the tariff, we
work ourselves into frenzy politics;
impressed with the ranngs of professional reormers
and do-gooders; lavish sympathy a murderer
who justly pays his debt the 'hot seat;" we are
greatly perturbed the stock market-and thou
sand and one other relatively trivial matters agitate
greatly.
But if think of the 10000 killed and 8OO,-
600 injured in automobile accident each year, we only
shrrg our shoulders and say, "Isnt it too bad?'

Public Is Air Shy


\ LTHOUGH the United States government is
~ spending about 80 million dollars year in aid
of commercial flying the aviation industry is
in serious difficulties, according to Postmaster Gener
al Brown.
Passenger air lines carried paying load of only
sixteen to forty per cent of their capacity last year.
and operating losses have been so great says Mr..
Brown, that the very life of the passenger transport
industry is in the balance"
He further points out that if the air lines should
collapse through lack of public support the millions
which the government has contributed, as well as
much of the money invested by the public, would be
lost
The trouble appears to be that air lines have
been extended too rapidly. Only small percentage
of the public will yet trust themselves to the air
plane for lorg fights. Every arpane disaster which
spread the front pages of newspapers tends
to make people afraid of this form of transportation
The public generally will become "air- minded"
only when convinced that air lines safety
we'll speed

Speed in Falling

IF one should fall from arpane balloon at a
| height however great, his velocity would never
ceed 11S miles an hour at any point before reach
ing the earth according the conclusions of the Army
Air Service as result of experiments made with
dummies.
This is contrary to the belief formerly held by
most persons that body continually increased its
speed when falling from any distance The fact is
that this rapid increase of speed in the case of
a body~smilar to that of man continues only until
it has fallen about 1900 feet, after which it main
tans constant rate due to the resistance of the air.
This discovery also explodes the theory that
person falling from great height would lose consci-
BUSINESS and perhaps be dead before striking the
ground for it is well known that avators have driven
their planes at speeds of than $50 miles an
hour straghtaway course, and at much greater
velocities when diving to make outside loop"
The knowledge that falling speed is limited is not
of much practical benefit to who falls for great
height however the lis miles an hour possible of
attainment is quite sufficient to effectively put him
out of business when he strikes the earth.

LOOK AND READ

A great time is anticipated Tues day night, February IS, by the men of Mooseheaven Legion of the World, Juneau Lodge No. 25, when at the meeting of the second de- gree of the Moose Lodge the Le- giannaires will attend their regular lodge frolic It is reported there was a record breaking attendance at the last meeting, and there was a splendid entertainment of sing ing and comedy directed by Le- gionnaire Rodenburg, which was enjoyed more or less by his vcitims and others. Keen disappointment was felt by few because of the failure of Messrs. Carlson and Rod enburg to perform their promised Buck and Wing Dance, but the main part of the audience seemed to be just as well satisfied anyway. The Great North Moose reports that a lot of interest and specula- ton is manifested regarding the forthcoming entertainment to be given Tuesday night by Legion naires Phil Jolly Henry Gorham and Frank Hilo. According to Phil Jolly the entertainment will be great big successful overwhelming surprise, and it is rumored it had better be or someone will "get the hook"

This Business Nation.
Cincinnati Enuuirer.)

The great American public very, literally is in
 partnership with the countrys most gigantic enter
 prises with all of it's important enterprises. This
 is proved by the ownership of stock by the public,
 by the increase in the number of stockholders year by year.
 The word and of corporation no longer is
 taboo. The proletarian soapbox orator who cries out his denuncations of corporations and trust in this day receives a cold hearing in America, be- cause he assumes to talk to and women who
 directly are financially identified with such insttu- tions.
 And these institutions conducted by the ser
 wants of the people They must give specific and frequent accounting of their stewardship The ethics of business in this day demand straightforward
 ness and honesty unknown to the past Take any among the great enterprises of the Nation the American Telegraph and Telephone Company the
 great railroads, General Motors United States Steel Corporation and any number of others and what do we find? Large numbers of stockholders SCI t- tered throughout the country, now more so an at any other time
 | The recent furry in Wall Street is not to be considered Of importance in this analysis The
 number and increase in registered stockholders tells
 the story of true investment buying The investor
 takes the place of the speculator Money is safe | Ii safely placed; and extensive stockholders
 list is the countrys best assurance of continued
 prosperity.

NORTHERN TRAGEDY SOLVED
 BEYOND ANY DOUBT.

The discovery of the body of Earl Borland at North Cape under circumstances that make it clear that death was instantaneous clears away the last lingering doubt as to the fate of the intrped aeronauts whose plane crashed to it's destruction November g. There seems no reason to doubt but that the body of Col. Eielson will soon be un- covered
 It would not be just to let the event pass with out again paying tribute to the earnestness and efficiency with which the Russians have worked to solve one of the most terrible of Northern tragedies The spirit displayed by the Soviet Government at Moscow and the heroism with which the Russians within reach of the scene of disaster have abored challenge the admiration and gratefuness of the American people.

NEWSPAPER TERMS iN THE U. s. A
 AND CANADA.

notwithstanding that Canadian newspapers gen. orally follow American style" and organization de- tails more nearly than they do those of the "old Country there are variances. For instance the term Managing Editor has a different meaning across the border than in the United States Over there 1t seems to what we on our side won1d call Editor and Manager" As an example H F Pullen, Editor and Manager of the Prince Rupert News, carries his at the head of the editorial page as Managing Editor"
 The Managing Editor" on the American side of the line is whose business it is to see that the orders of the Editor carried out and who has copy-readers and other desk men in the new, rooms. He corresponds to the First Mate of a mer- chant ship and Executive Officer of navy vessel He is the officer to whom the Captain gives hi orders.

BALLYHOO.

Item in the Publishers Weekly, a maga- zine enjoying large circulation in the book trade:
 On Jan 31 the publishing house of
 G. P. PutnamS Sons will be blown up
 by two bombs for Escape" will be pub
 lished that date, as scheduled. The
 worldwide organization of the Fascist
 has coldly stated that MT. Putnam
 not publish this insult to Facism" and
 live, and has promised to blow him and
 his establishment to bits on the day the
 book is issued. George Palmer Putnam,
 being of Yankee blood fails to see the
 point of the Fascist reasoning, and when
 interviewed by the Publishers Weekly
 handed us the sheaf letters from the
 Black Shirts with the grave comment,
 "Applesauce!"
 Well, we don't exactly know what to say about this. We might say that we have unshaken confidence that on Feb l the house of G. P. Putnam's Sons will still be located, unbombed and quite safe at its present quarters at No. West 45th Street. we might say few words about the new art that has grown up in the last few years, Of humping the tub for new books But space IS valuable, and perhaps we had better confine ourselves to the grave com ment, "Applesaucel"- (New York World) "Applesauce" is right January 31st has gone int history many days since, and there has been n report of any bombing about the premises of Georg Palmer Putnam The number of people who wou use dynamite in time of peace to further caus are more numerous than they ought to be. but the are pretty scarce at that. And organizations tha would authorize such proceedings are too small an secretiVe to be world wide" in their activities Ther must be a far more urgent incentive than enthus lasm for cause to get people to commit murder Further enthusiasts for Fascism are not fools The Know that their organization, or any similar or ganization, would not survive such tactics as thos charged If the Putnams received a sheaf of let ters as indicated they were sent by one person or very small group acting individual initiative The world have outgrown such things.

Music in the Kitchen.
(New York World.)

(New York World) We are by means sure we are in favor of this plan about to be launched by the New York State Federation of Women's Clubs whereby women will be invited to join great choral society in iorder that they will become musical-minded and go about their daily tasks with songs breaking from their lips This is all right so far the women are concerned but how about the other members of the family? If you ask of the greatest liabili- ties man can have is a singing wife The trouble with her is that she seldom sings in proper fashion as a man sings when he is spashing in the bath room. When he starts a song he commonly goes through with it to a triumphant finish, thus: Oh, the bulldog on the bank, And the bullfrog in the pool Oh, the bulldog the bank, And the bull the
 pool! Oh the bulldog the bank, And the bullfrog in the pool; The bulldog called the bullfrog green old water fool Singing tra-la-la &c But woman when she starts this simple dittv commonly renders it something like this: Oh the bulldog the bank Nm the mm-hm in the h'm; Oh the bulldog the bank Nm the mm-
