paid In Full"

CEVERAL years ago man whose appear
\ ance was against him in the request he
made, called at the office and asked for
credit on SO cents worth of advertising per
week for month. He wasn't sure when he
would pay or that he ever would-but he
would try.
Often beaten out of needed cash by
more worthy looking individuals with much
stronger promises, we nevertheless took his
account. The ad ran the weeks he had speci-
fled. He was not billed but in few weeks
he was in and Settled up" ordering an
other series of ads. Again weeks elapsed
and he settled and re-ordered The account
ran along this way for several months.
Then our friend, whom we never saw except
on his visits to the office, dropped out of
sight.
Not long ago we received an account of
death. The name seemed familiar and we
turned to ledger sheet where the book
keepers scrawl indicated the account was
settled in full months back. The name was
that of our friend.
We smile occasionally at reports in the
press OF conscience" money, paid often an
onymously to settle accounts long forgotten
but this trait of wanting to lowe not any
man is most admirable one.

Thomas D. Schall

\ 20 POLITICIAN has so frequently been
IN the q iect of criticism in newspapers
= as Thomas D. Schall, United States
senator VINO uled Sunday from injuries suf-
fered when he was struck by car, yet even
his political enemies must admire the pluck
and determination in the face of Overwhelm-
ing obstacles which raised him from street
waif to the highest office Minnesota voters
can give.
Schall was born on Michigan farm,
the son of Civil war captain who died
while Thomas D. was a child. His mother
found work in hotel kitchen, giving her
child to family more able to bring him up.
Unhappy with mis- foster parents, Schall ran
away and joined a circus at the age of nine.
When the troupe reached Chicago,
Thomas decided to ''go it alone and obtain
ed work as newsbOy. No one without hav-
ing had the experience can appreciate the
long hours and the circumstances under
which newsies work, particularly in those
days.
Always awake to opportunities, Schall
got chance to come to Minnesota with a
family of settlers and eventually obtained
the schooling he craved at Ortonville. A
scholarship gave him two years at Hamline
un4veI SHY Wnere he sawed wood for board
and lodging. Later he transferred to the
University of Minnesota where he achieved
distinction in forensics and what was per-
haps more important, met his wife who was
no less factor in his later success than was
the man himself.
At the beginning of his career in the
legal profession, in 1908, the greatest set
back of his life came. A shock from patent
electric cigar lighter paralyzed the nerves OF
his eyes and in spite of medical aid, he lost
his eyesight.
Still undaunted, encouraged and aided
by his wife, Schall continued in his law prac-
tice and eventually began his successful
political career-still awake to every oppor-
tunity, guessing wisely at changes in poll
tlcal sentiment of the voters, climbing in
spite of enemies and criticism.
In this day when so many of us with all
our faculties lean on others for support or
only half take advantage of our opportuni-
ties, such determination as was Schalls
should serve as an inspiration.

yHAI DUES 1880 hOlu Tor heuWoou
M Falls? Here are some things we
would like to see happen, for the ben
eft and further development OF the city ana
the health and happiness of it's citizens.
First and one of the easiest of realiz-
alton, we would like to see the youngsters
get skating rink. The city council or
school board should be able to provide joint
ly the space and what construction work is
necessary for rink and the water. Nature
is willing to do the rest except for what SUI
pervision is necessary. For that we would
call in the Re- - suggested.
Second and along the same line, an
letlc fleO. iila>u rioSIdlLi
but got stymied. Arrangements can be made
to use facilities at the fair grounds, ii that
is practical. If not we would suggest NAM
ing the field after the first wealthy citizen TO
donate the land. How would LohrenZ field
strike you?
We would have history repeat itself
certain extent III pc ) >~--oUner Tree
Fourth of July celebration. Pioneered this
year, the event was an outstanding success.
By keeping the best features and adding
new ones for variety, the only problem
would be to accommodate the crowd.
Landlords will vince at this one, but
more houses should be build in 1886. While
the housing situation is not as serious a
ced to move here has practically no choice of
houses even today. The family locating in
one of a half dozen towns in this territory
will continue to 60 where there is choice OF
homes. Even another such building boom
as we saw last summer is unlikely to have
any serious affect on rents.
Again we would have strong associa-
tion of business men grow out of the Com
mercial club, which would combine the at
tributes of booster club, chamber OF COM
merce and social club and be truly repre-
sentative, including everyone in it's division
who could possibly be called business or
professional man.
One duty of such an organization would
; be to keep on working for the elusive postof-
fee Redwood Falls has wanted for genera
ton. While there is little chance it will be
started in 1886, it might be possible to OBJ
tain more than vague promise before the
year has passed.
For better community understanding
and friendliness, we recommend that the
Lions club continue it's series of informal
parties for business men of neighbor towns.
Both the guests and the hosts have enjoy
ed those held so far.
AS we point out frequently, this COM
munity has had one of the worst accident re
cords in 1885 of any part of the state. Let's
Law less stress on how fast we drove out
from Minneapolis and brag for a change,
about making the trip safely.
Again along the social line, the presl-
dents ball held here two years ago was an
outstanding success comparable with the
best firemen's ball and other all-community
parties Let's have more of them.
This year we lost the state corn husk-
ing contest because one week of poor corn
