La bolita es I'm antique pro-
blema de esta feliz y contiada
ciudad de Tampa.
Para nosotros, que sQmos de
manga ancha, liberales, demo
cratas, transigentes, la bolita
es I'm gravisimo NAL por4ue sa-
lilo de la esfera del cafe, del ga
rito, para invadir las oficinas y
los hogares.
Era IN NAL menor cuando Ell
"punto" iba al cafe, al garlic, y
apuntaba 'su n1mero', tomando
por base ell sueno de la noche
anterior o. ell numero del tran
via, O de I'm automovil, etcetera.
Pero core estamos Ell ell pals
de las "cadenas" y de las gran
des corporaciones, los empire
sarios contrataron agentes para
ir ofreciendo "la suerte", o la
miseria", de puerta en- puerta,
de oficina en- oficina...
Extendieron sllos sus nego-
clos y en- miles de hogares la
"bolita" clav0 sus garras.
Luego empez6 la competen-
cia entire los "banqueros', para
apoderarse del mercado, como
hacen las grandes empresas, y
mas tarde surgi6 ell deseo en- los
"grandes", en- los mas ricos, de
aplastar a los pequenos, tran
do tres 0 cuatro bolas al dia,
por un solo dinero.
La situacion de Tampa en- 10
que respecta al juego era deses-
perada cuando Ell gobernador,
dicese que por preston del go
bierno federal, TONIC "cartas en-
ell asunto", ordenando cerrar
los nuevos clubs, luego de que
la poIicia habia "cerrado" ell dis
trito urbano.
Tai como nosotros aprecia-
mos las cosas, 81 ell juego ha de
tolerarse, incluyendo la bolita,
terminates, billetitos, ETC., la to-
lerancia no ha de ser para los
que tienen mas dinero y la in
tolerancia para los "pobres dia-
blos".
No es question de abrir una
puerta para que penetren unos
cuantos y "contrOlen', sino de
abrir todas las puertas hasta
que ell pueblo Sc canse, compren
da su imbecilidad, y vuelva a
disponer ell "cierre" o la clausu-
ra.

TAGGING OUR BRAINS

In recent years there has been an
biologists. psychiatrists, psychoanalysts,
and what have you, to determine and
classify the mental deficiencies of the we'll
known human race
Some time ago a comprehensive sur
vey of mental diseases by specialists in
psychiatry and allied fields was under
taken. After nearly three years of labor,
new classification of such diseases has
been published the chief division of which
are:
Amentia, neuroses, and psychoneu-
roses, schizophrenic neuroseS, psycopathic
constitution, affective and emotional psy-
chooses, toxic psychoses, epileptic psy-
chooses, organic brain disease psychoses,
and other miscellaneous types. Which
ought to catch nearly everybody on one
count or another.
1t is interesting to note in this connec-
ton that recent diagnosis of Sigmund
Freud, high priest of psychoanalysis and
dream Interpretation, revealed that he
himself was bit goofy, through 'lack of
inward Indignation"
Whether all these Investigations in
mental science and pseudo-science are do
ing us any practical good is a moot ques-
tion To great extent, the conclusions
reached by the so-called experts appear
to be so much bunk, although some dis
coveries of value may have been made.
c1ocn apaIycic mouId nrah h1Iy no
veal that all of us are little cracked,
either habitually or occasionally. In fact,
as someone has said, crazy people are
just like other people, only more So" And
if, as some contend, crazy people are the
happiest why worry? But perhaps it is
more fun to be nutty with fancy psy-
Ghosts.

WAR UNLIKELY NOW

Disturbing as recent events in Ger
many and Austria have been, it appears
that there is little likelihood of another
European war in the near future. Having
passed through the unrest incident to Hit
ler's killing of alleged traitors among his
own following, the assassination of Chan
cellor Dollfuss of Austria, and the ap-
prehension occasioned by the death of
Hindenburg, conditions in Central Europe
seem to be rather less threatening than
heretofore.
Hitler's latest autocratic action in
presuming to dictate to. the Protestant
clergy of Germany has created another
ugly situation, but whatever the outcome,
it does not at the moment appear likely to
cause international complications.
Mussolini's determination to maintain
Austria's independence and his warning to
Hitler to keep hands off Austrian affairs
has on the whole tended to have sober
ing effect ON Hitler while raising no
serious protest from France or other in-
terested nations.
The desperate economic plight of
most European countries is such as to
make the financing of war most difficult,
if not impossible, although continued in-
ternal unrest in both Germany and Aus
tria may lead to further violence among
their own people. In the meantime, the
efforts of former Empress Zita to restore
the monarchy in Austria are being OBJ
served with some apprehension.

graduated Rex on winning against
the Murray man at Owatonna, re-
marking about the poor lands Ted
got there. 1t was too much for Mil
Ter.
The parade formed on the grounds
and went only short distance when
the wagons. which are a part of it,
turned into their rows. I assumed
it would go through town but it was
easy to see that this would have been
utterly impossible in view of the
crowd and the cars.
Fairmont handled the event in
splendid style. Parking, conduct on
the grounds, facilities provided and
other details were cared for. Except
for pickpockets who did a thriving
business the crowd was we'll behaved.
One Iowan lost Silt in currency from
his overcoat pocket, which he might.
have guessed was poor place to
carry it. A number of other thefts
were reported, and in the late after
noon it was announced that a bunch
of pocketbooks were found in the
cornfield, empty of course. AS far as
could be learned, Redwood county
persons took better care of their
cash.
One of the exhibitors had a pig
which was to go to the person who
guessed its weight. Thousands guess
ed, several hundred guessed correctly.
We don't know yet who got the pig.
We were back as far as Madelia,
about 25 miles, before cars began to
thin out. Most of that way they
drove in two lanes, lodging behind
each other in close quarters when
meeting car. From the field to
Fairmont, cars travelled in four and
five lanes. Probably it took the
average car an hour to make that
distance as the crowd broke up.
The Redwood gazette., 1934-11-15

computed in this way. Ted had
5 9I16 ounces of husks per 100
pounds which was the lowest record
ed, making his total deductions
1895 pounds and his net load 1,805.5
pounds, over 200 pounds better than
his nearest rival.
Richard Anderson of South Dakota
was second with a gross load of
1865 pounds, six pounds of CLEAN
ings,, z 9/16 ounces of husks for de-
ductions of 60.624 pounds and a net
load of 22919 bushels. No deductions
are made for the first five ounces of
husks per 100 pounds of corn, after
that one per cent of the load is TAX
en- away for each ounce of husks up
to nine ounces, after which the de-
duction is three per cent of the load
for each ounce.
By the narrowest of margins, Har-
ry Brown of Nebraska was third with
a net load of 22.916 bushels. L. D.
Kahle of Illinois was fourth with
22.117 bushels and Lee Stodgell, Iowa
champion, was fifth with 21.879 bu-
shells. Cash prizes are $100, $50,
$25, SIS and $40. In addition to the
$100, Ted received gold watch. Ray
Hanson of Minnesota was tenth with
zoos bushels.
Clarence Ivers of Indiana set a
record for clean husking, leaving
only one ear for the cleaners. It
weighed one-half pound, giving him
a gleanings deduction of 1.5 pounds.
Ted was extremely popular with
the crowd, not only with Minnesota
fans but fans from other states SEEM
ed unanimous in their attitude that
if their men were defeated, they
hoped it would be by Ted. 1t was
the first time South Dakota man
has been second, which also called for
congratulations.
Estimate Crowd
Mention has been made frequently
of the crowd, mob, throng etc. which
witnessed the event. A great in
justice has been done by calling the
crowd $4,000. AS the Associated
Press correspondent was calling in
his story, he was taken to task twice.
First the rewrite man at the other
end of the line thought he was over
enthusiastic, then those Of us around
him charged him with underestimate
ing. His remark was 81 know the
crowd was $4,000 or more but I can't
make them (nieaning the rewrite
man) believe it,"
Best estimate of the crowd comes
from the fact that 10000 cars were
actually counted as they entered the
grounds. AS our car countered for
space under the excellent manipula
tion of Stephen Inglis, counted per-
sons in cars we passed or that passed
us, getting an average of about four
and one-quarter persons per car. My
decision was that $4,000 was conser-
