HOT WEATHER NOTE

No sir, we can't understand why In
telligent Sentinel rural news writers
who spell it "sponcers," "eving,'
"Luthern," "chavori," "Wensday, y
ETC., ETC., when they should be able to
see that all these mistakes are cor
rected, or supposed to be, when the
items are printed.
And another variety pays no at
tention to the use of capitals and pun
ctuation marks. And another pro-
family provoking error is the incor-
rect use of authorizations. A little
thought and care, with study Of the
printed matter, will ease the pressure
on the peevish country correspond
ence editor wonderfully and make it
pleasanter for everyone around the
office.
You know when one Of a gang OF
workmen is sour tempered the whole
outfit gets edgewise. If you are 60
ing to write for publication please
write carefully and correctly, espe-
cially during the hot weather, when
people peeve easier.-Fairmont Daily
Sentinel.

A NEW PAIN KILLER

What is declared to be one of the
three outstanding medical discover
les of the past decade is new anti
septic, said to be 70 times as effec-
tive as carbolic acid, yet so innocu-
Gus that "a baby could drink all its
stomach would hold and be unharm-
ed"
The new product, which is a pain
reliever as wall as an antiseptic, was
discovered by DR.. Zeader Leonard Of
John Hopkins University, and is de-
scribed as a synthetic organic chem
ical having its origin in the glands of
goat.
The fact that the announcement
of the new discovery comes from such
a trustworthy source indicates that
it may prove to be most valuable
contribution to the relief of suffer
ing humanity.

GARBLING THE NEWS

When . newspaper 1arbles news
to help out some sap who has gotten
into trouble, it makes itself q laugh
ing stock and fools no one. Still it is
done sometimes by papers that should
know better.
Which is suggested on reading q
news story from near by county
where the paper says the bootlegger
claimed he wasn't really guilty but
would so plead and save expensive
litigation.
The justification for this view was
that somebody else could have plant
ed the liquor found on the premises
Of this certain Smith, an old offender.
So the paper makes out that pro-
badly Smith is really innocent and
something Of martyr. The court
had different view and fined the
fellow $500.
That paper has forfeited the re-
spect of its readers and performed
no real service for it's bootlegging
friends. He was guilty as hell and
every reader knew it.-Fairmont

STARTING SOMETHING AGAIN

Paul Dehnel, stormy petrol of Min
nesota politics and journalism, who
has started more things he didn't
finish, including period of intern
ment, than any other man we know
of, is at it again and has started an
other publishing venture at New Ulm.
He recently sold out at Rochester.
And he has sold out oftener than any
other man in Minnesota. He calls
his new publication The Minnesota
Progressive and hopes to issue re-
gularly each month.
Paul never stays long in any COM
munity and how he manages to keep
going is mystery to others in the
publishing business. He has never
yet been connected with any publica-
ton that had the appearance of MAX
ing expenses-never stayed long
enough in any community to really
get established.
Well, here's hoping Paul will at
least have lot of fun in the friendly
city Of New Ulm.-Fairmont Daily

Farm Board Worries
wv HETHER Justly or unjustly, the Federal Farm
NV Board is under fire that appears to get hotter

W. HETHER Justly OF unjustly, the Federal Farm
M Board is under fire that appears to get hotter
day by day. AS result Of widespread dis
satisfaction with its operations it seems that the
farm relief issue will be most lively one in the
next Congress and in the 1882 campaign.
Certain groups of business men and industrialists
have contended from the beginning that the Farm
Marketing Act, while imposing a heavy tax burden,
would not help the farmers in the long rum because
the effort to the law of supply and demand
by temporarily peggng the price of agricultural pro-
ducts was bound to end in failure.
1t is certain that enormous losses will result from
the Boards operations in the market In fact it has
reversed its policy with respect to the purchase of
wheat and has served notice that it will not attempt
to buy up the prospective 1881 surplus.
Now comes revolt the part of the farmers
themselves. The $4,000 wheat growers of the North
Dakota Montana association have resigned from the
national cooperative organization sponsored by the
Farm Board the growers declaring that "nstead of
helping organization the Farm Board has done
everything possible to destroy it."
It is only fair to say that the members of the
Board have tried to help the farmers but seems that
they have been given an impossible task The farm
simply raise wheat, cotton and other pro-
ducts that they sell at profit. So long as they
continue to overproduce it is unlikely that any laws
which have been passed may be passed will serve
to help them very much

AN ANSWER

n ECAUSE of the exigency of the circumstances
X following the publication of article in the
- Redwood County Sun bearing my authorship,
purporting to be criticism of conditions as believed
to exist in Redwood Falls, shall offer explanation
relating to the conditions under which this orr
ginally composed
No longer identified with the Gazette, speak in
my own behalf, seeking public redress. The subject

piece. Had composed the latter there would indeed

judged solely on its literary merits.
Basis for this criticism inspired by conditions

point of view No mention made of Redwood

to this community by labelling it unjust criticism

best towns in the state" bromide statement
used by professional boosters and small-town yam
mering editors, therefore meaning nothing.
Thus it resolves to my having made assertions of
critical nature, and Editor Starr passing judgment

WHO CRITICIZED REDWOOD FALLS?

T the editorial column of the last issue of W. C.
l Starts Sun appeared article which Mr.. Starr
says appeared in eastern paper "verbatum" (the
spelling is Mr. Starr's); article which he says was
from the pen of Otto Harry Frederickson whom he
described of the editors Of the Gazette; an
article, which he said unjusty criticized Redwood
Falls.
Careful study of the article which Mr.. Starr says
copied "verbatum" (again the spelling is Mr..
Starrs) brings forth the information that it does not
criticize Redwood Falls any other particular town.
Since Mr.. Frederckson has lived in many towns pre-
vious to his arrival in Redwood Falls less than year
ago, there is the possibility that he had of those
towns in mind when the article written. The
sketch in way whatsoever indicated that Redwood
Falls the town described. 1t REMAINED for w.
c. Starr of the Redwood County Sun attach Red
wood Falls the unjust criticism which he says has been
made, for it HIS Sun and HIS Sun only that con-
nected the article in question with Redwood Falls.
While we believe that Mr.. Starr had only in mind
possible injury to the Gazette when he reprinted the
article, we wonder if HE had the BEST INTEREST of
his city at heart when he publicity in HIS Sun
the statement that the article in which no town name
was given referred to Redwood Falls.
Do you think the article describes Redwood Falls,
Mr. Starr, and not why do you say that it refers to
Redwood Falls?
Utilizing Weeds
w IHEN is weed weed? When it is not pro-
NJ ductive useful in any commercial way.
Thus patch of golden rods in the farmers al
falfa crop is but patch of weeds, hindrance to
good legume crop. But patch of goldenrods cult
waited and cared for by Thomas A. Edison is plant of
commercial possibilities.
AS most of you may know Edison is experiment.
ing with synthetic rubber As the noted inventor left
his Florida residence for his New Jersey home it was
announced that he had produced from golden rod rub
Der which could be vulcanized To Mr.. Edison the
weed is useful and therefore takes on new aspects
hitherto unbestowed.
1t is predicted that Mr.. Edison will build an ex-
traction plant and grow thousands of acres of golden
rod on Henry Fords plantation near Savannah, Ga.
Mr. Edison estimates that by using golden rod rub
Der be produced in six months instead of six years
required by any other known process.
Now if the ingenious inventor can find a method to
utilize leafy spurge also of the rubber Species the
farmer contemplate the commercial possibilities of
what he has far contemporary called weeds May
be is tie most likely avenue Of practical farm relief

ners for the year, just announced Margaret Ay-
ers Barnes's "Years of Grace" was adjudged the
best novel published in 1880, while Susan Glaspels
"Alison's House" the prize-winning play.
B. E. Smith the prize in history, Henry James
that in biography and Robert Frost for the second
time received the poetry award which he first won in
1924.
The Atlanta Constitution was chosen as the news
paper performing the meritorous public service,
for its exposure of municipal graft and obtaining
victions of officials.
A. B. Macdonald of the Kansas City Star won the
prize for the best example of reporters work. After
the death Of Mrs. A. D. Ryan, killed by dynamite pac
ed in her at Amarillo Tex, police failed to solve
the mystery. Macdonald Investigated the case and
fixed the crime her husband, who confessed and
committed suicide while awaiting trial.
Several other awards were made by the Pulitzer
judges, carrying cash prizes ranging from $500 to
$4,000. The annual decisions of these judges, like
those of the Nobel prize committee, often subject

Cost of Armaments
address at the opening of the recent sessions
of the International Chamber Of Commerce in
Washington, President Hoover called attention to
the expenditures by the nations for ornaments,
aggregating nearly five billion dollars year.
This, he declared, is about 70 per cent greater
than spent for military purposes before the World
War. It represents the cost of keeping five and half
million actively under and twenty million
more in reserves.
The President deplored the fact that the nations
felt it necessary to maintain such extensive armies
and navies in spite of their adherence the Kellogg
BRAND pact, whereby they had renowned as
instrument of national policy and had agreed settle
all their controversies by peaceful methods He spoke
hopefully however, of the efforts for reduc
ton which have been and being made, and called
upon the business of the world to aid in promot-
ing peace
Manifestly the maintenance of world peace is the
most important problem that confronts civilization.
Compared with it all other problems relatively
significant. And whoever by word or deed needessly
adds to the difficulties of its solution is an enemy Of
the human race.

Herbert Benjamin, national field

ment was called forth by report
of w. H. Moran, chief Of the Sc

projected march as a Communist

show the movement was affiliated
with the American Communist par
ty and the Third Internationale.
I'VE challenge the lurid state

ment," Benjamin replied. "All our
plans have been made public. We
have nothing to conceal. 1t is the
federal authorities that wish to con-
ceal the scenes of misery and star
walton rampant across America"
On their arrival here next Sun
day the marchers will elect a COM

congress and the President. These
demands include unemployment

of $3.50 to each unemployed worker.
