81 wouldn't know whether it's

This statement of Elsie Rob-

modest sort of view that has
made this woman one of the
most prominent columnists in
the world.
Her advice and consolation Of

can look deep into that we'll and
see the fights she has conquered,
the obstacles she has overcome,

strength that she has called

Those who read her book

Eight Months School
[E SUPERINTENDENT of schc

THE SUPERINTENDENT of schools in
LIE Sueur county, Minnesota, has check
ed over the records of eight and nine
months country schools in that county, dis
covering that by far the greater percentage
of failures in final examinations result in
schools having the shorter terms.
The shorter term has as it's principal de-
Tense, economy. 1t is presumed to save
school expense and it makes farm youths
available for work on the farm by releasing
them from school an extra month, thereby
saving in hired help. But it appears to be
poor economy if it results in failures and
makes it necessary for youngsters to 60 to
school an extra year in order to get their
diplomas.
Most teachers would work the extra
month for not great deal more than they
receive for the eight months school, There
is no expense for heat and light in the early
fall and late spring. The majority of dis
trict's overhead goes on whether school
keeps" or not.
1t is a problem that every rural school
board has to settle for it's district one that
each board is best able to settle. But
every effort should be made to eventually
make all schools of nine months duration.

RedWOOd's Pride

Q ONE COMMUNITIES have boys and
girls about whose future they are
greatly concerned. Most communities
also have young people of whom they can be
and are extremely proud. Usually, however,
the former are more frequently mentioned
than the latter.
This week The Gazette is proud of the
pictures on it's front page of eight Redwood
county youths in whom this community has
reason to take pride.
Five are girls who have accomplished
outstanding success in district and county
All club work. In fairness to All boys it
must be said that fully as many of them will
receive trips for outstanding work among
fellow club members when their contests are
held. Each girl in this group has interested
herself in useful work, so conducted as to
make it more interesting than play, and has
stayed by the task through many trials and
defeats to earn place in bigger contests.
Three are boys who earned the distinc-
ton of representing Redwood Falls at the
Washington, D. C. Boy Scout Jamboree in a
somewhat similar manner, by accomplishing
the tasks and tests devised for growing
youths by the scout movement, and through
demonstrating an ability for leadership
which not only makes fellow scouts feel they
should be the ones to go but makes them
expectant of the message and training
that these boys, as thousands of others all
over the country, will bring home to inspire
the fellow members of their troops.

War In The Making

IT IME WAS WHEN a great many people
held high hopes that wars would some
day be outlawed as a means of settling
disputes between nations. Conferences
and better understandings, we said, would
result in peaceful settlement of difficulties
however difficult.
Other nations, too, expressed that hope
and pledged their allegiance to organizations
and pacts which proposed to guarantee
peace.
Military men seemed to concur in the
peace talk. "But of course" they said, eve
will have to have armies, navies and all the
latest equipment-just in case these pacts
should fall
Arms manufacturers, too, smiled their
concurrence, adding, eve have new nipple
ments that make fighting twice as effective.

We have sold an order to this country and

Soon an armament race is on. Arms
makers grow fat with profits. Look at the
men we are employing" they say to critics.
Diplomats meanwhile hear rumors of
big arms purchases, send them home for
politicians and dctators to use in support of
more arms purchases. Each new rumor
brings new jealousy. Each new order
makes the generals more anxious to see &C
ton. Each purchase makes the diplomats
more sure of themselves, less willing to con-
fer and compromise.

All-COunty Fair

IT HIS YEAR, MORE even than in pre-
vious years, the Redwood county fair
is going to be an all-county event, a
fact that not only promises bigger and bet
ter show but is likely to produce such
show.
Merchants throughout the county are
being interested in a plan through which
they have part in the promotion and fin
ancing of the fair, with the cost to them
selves more than offset by the advantages
they will enjoy through it.
The whole thing is so ingeniously work.
ed out that the fair board is wondering why
and how it missed thinking of giving away
two automobiles under this plan years ago.
If the idea is as successful as the board and
most merchants feel it will be, it may be re-
peated each year indefinitely and perhaps
enlarged on, although the board has gone in
to it very extensively the first year.
Redwood county has boosted of it's fair
for many years. Men and women from all
sections of the county have aided in it's pro-
motion and have supported it by exhibiting
and attending but the bulk of the work has
fallen on the board members, largely from
Morgan and Redwood Falls, and upon Red
wood Falls men and women. Years ago
every business man here held few shares
of stock, on which no dividends were paid
but which were purchased to help out the
fair. Today most of the original stockhold-
ers are gone, the majority of the men up and
down the street being comparatively new in
the community and without stock, although
most of them have taken an active interest
in promoting the event.
For years the fair board has puzzled
over the problem of overcoming the attitude
that it is Redwood Falls fair. They have
consulted county editors and received gener-
GUS support. They promoted baseball series
last year which gave many a more personal
interest.
But no plan devised, until this auton''
bile feature popped up, fully accomplished
what it seems certain to do. The result
should be the biggest forward step made by
the fair in many years.
