SELLS FIVE DOLLAR
BILLS FOR PENNY

Blooming Prairie was
pretty good for four-year old
Bobby Wagner when he started to
sell five dollar bills for a penny,
but his first venture in big busi-
ness didn't turn out very we'll in
the opinion of his parents. The
son of Mrs. Bertha Wagner, cafe
proprietor in Hollanddale, near
Blooming Prairie, Bobby found
three five dollar bills in his moth
er's pocketbook. The pieces of pa
per didn't have much value in his
eyes-not nearly as much as a
big, copper penny, with which he
knew he could buy candy. All
went we'll on exchange until a
customer in the cafe spied the
"paper" in Bobbie's hand, saw it
was real money, and called Mrs.
Wagner's attention to the fact.
One bill was safely tucked into
Bobbie's pocket. He proudly dis
played a penny for one he had
sold, which, with the third was to-
tally missing.

The Rural Press

TT HERE ARE SOME 1850 newspapers
and periodicals published in this coun-
try. The greatest proportion of them
are small-town weeklies, dailies and semi
weeklies, and magazines whose principal ap-
peal is to the rural dweller.
The recent contest held to pick the best
country newspaper correspondent in the
United States, was of much more Importance
and interest than contests usually are. The
winner, woman, lives in a Missouri town
which has population of twenty seven, and
is fifteen miles from the nearest railroad.
For forty-four years she has been local cor
respondent for a rural paper in her county.
Urban editors, on reading excerpts from
her correspondence, have been amazed by its
quality. It does not deal with crimes and
misdemeanors. Instead it tells of the crops,
of the trials, tribulations and achievements OF
farm people who rarely make the metropoli-
tan headlines, but who happily, are more
numerous and more vital to the nation than
our gangsters, our political and business
renegades, and our ex-show-girl divorces.
Most interesting of all, this woman's
correspondence, fine as it is, is not greatly
different from that of other rural correspon-
dents. Winners of lesser prizes in the contest
show the same qualities-the same COM
mand of clean and vivid English. The coun-
try newspaper, little known as it is to the
city dweller, is one of the finest, most per-
manent, and most deservedly successful In
fluences in our American life. Last, but not
least, it is the outstanding guardian of the
nation in upholding our Constitution and
American ideals.-ex.

Gypsy Girl Struck
and Killed by Car

Gaylord-A ten-year-old daugh-
ter of gypsy parents passing
through this part of the country
was killed on the Arlington road
Monday of last week when she
was struck by a car driven by j.
C. Mcdonnell, q Minneapolis sales
man.
The party had stopped near e
school house and the girl was
crossing the road after a pail of
water when she dashed into the
path of the car which struck her
to the ground, large wound in
her head being caused by the rod
which serves as a brace between
the headlights. Death was in
stantaneous. The driver was not
held.
The body was brought to a NOR
tuary here where citizens looked
on with deep sympathy while men,
bers of the tribe wept and went
through gestures of peculiar gyp-
sy ritual. Funeral rites were
held Wednesday with burial at
New Auburn.

Fair Officials

\ T LEAST A VAGUE idea of what fair
~ officials are up against in their efforts
to make the Redwood county show the
best possible and at the same time pay ex-
penses and retire some of the society's in
debtedness each year was given county edi-
tors Friday night when they were guests of
the board here.
The custom of calling the publishers in
for one meeting year was established some
seasons ago and has worked to the advan-
tage of the institution. If fair board mem
bers could in some manner meet more crit
les and advisers from about the county, par
ticularly at the annual meeting, still greater
good could be accomplished.
Primarily the board wants to give the
public what it wants, within reason. That
means allowing some things which members
do not fully approve of; it means enlisting
helpers in some lines with which no board
member happens to be acquainted and it re-
quires a broad understanding, subject to
change with little notice, of what the public
likes this season. Most of all it demands
watching every channel of outgo and income
and trying to keep the latter greater than
the former.
It is generally understood that fair Of
ficials receive small salary for their work.
It is not so generally known that these sal
aries are the last expenses paid from re-
ceipts, that every board member has several
years back pay coming and that in spite of
the fact that money was comparatively
plentiful a year ago when the insurance
company paid for the loss of the dance pa
vilion, that money was used to retire indeb-
tedness which did not include the already de-
layed salaries.
To fair board members, the fair must
be hobby. At one season of the year it is
just plain work, with long hours, difficult
decisions and the complaints that go with
public service. Here editors best under
stand the board members.

Cause OF Broken
Switch Is Sought

What might have proved a SER
ious tragedy was avoided at
Springfield one evening recently
when night police o. M. Foster
and Frank Griffen, clerk at the
Springfield hotel, noticed a switch
in the railroad yards tipped onto
the tracks shortly before the west
bound passenger was to arrive.
A short distance away a "look-
out-for-the-cars" sign was broken,
apparently the work of a reckless
driver. Both the switch and the
sign were far enough east Of the
crossing as to force driver to go
considerable distance off his cour-
Sc to hit them. The train was de-
layed until the necessary repairs
could be made. A railroad detec-
tive is investigating the matter.

Women Drivers
TOR MANY YEARS WOMEN have beer

TOR MANY YEARS WOMEN have been
subjected to gibes because of their sup
posed inferiority as automobile drivers.
But a recent survey by national board of
casualty underwriters reveals that women
drivers figure in far less accidents than men,
numbers considered.
Estimates from various sources, includ-
ing government statistics, indicate that wo-
men constitute approximately one-fourth of
the total number of drivers in the country.
Yet, while women represent rs per cent OF
the number of drivers, last year they were
involved in only 7.36 per cent of the acci-
dents recorded.
In the observance of traffic regulations.
women made an even more impressive re-
cord. While full statistics are not available,
in dozen large cities only 2.53 per cent OF
those charged with violations of traffic rules
were women While it may be argued that
traffic officers are more lenient toward wo-
men violators, an inquiry addressed to a
large number of these officers brought res
ponses decidedly favorable to the ladies.
Of the replies received, 78 per cent OF
the officers considered women more careful
drivers than men; II per cent thought wo-
men equally careful, and only II per cent be-
lieved women less careful.
So, in the face of the record, it appears
that women are much safer drivers than
men, after all, when they are actually at the
wheel How safe they may be as backseat
drivers is an entirely different matter. =
Citizen, Key West, Florida.

One criticism made of government re-
lief activities worthy of consideration by Of
ficials is the charge that the man who gave
up months ago and looked to the public for
support fares better than his more admir-
able neighbor who scratched every source of
revenue he knew until it was bare and then
in desperation, turned to relief for food and
shelter.

SENATE PASSES
SLOT MACHINE
MEASURE. 45-1
Expected Opposition Fades
Under Glare of Roll
Call Vote.

Expected opposition to the Jor-
dan s.ot machine Dill faxed last
night in the mercilesS glare of a roll
call vote and the measure passed
the Senate, 45-1.
Only three members took the floor
against the measure designed to end
the Indiana slot machine racket.
Their arguments were not well re-
ceived by a senate well aware Of re-
ported activities of a powerful gam
bling lobby.
The bill has met little open oppo-
SltlOn. but its hackers have ex-
pressed concern over the impede
mentS and delays it has encountered
in both houses.
A motion to make the bill a Spe-
cial order of business on Monday.
the last day Of the session, was
shouted down.
Senators o. Bruce Lane (R.,
Bainbridge), Jacob Weiss ID. Indi-
anapOllS) and Walter VermllliOn
ID, Anderson demanded passage
of the bill to halt the racket that
they charged is taking millions of
dollars annually from persons that
can i'll afford the loss.
Senator Leo X Smith ID, Indian
apolis) fought the bill on the ground
that present laws are sufficient.
He was joined by Senator William
B. James ID. New Albany who
charged that the bill was an effort
on the part of big gambling inter-
ests to put slot machines out of busi-
ness so the take can be diverted
to their own pockets
Senator Claude Mcbride ID, JEFF
fersonVille) declared the bill too
drastic" and said he would vote
against it.
These are just excuses for a NO
vote declared Senator Vermillion.
But when the roll was called. Sem
ator Smith was the only member
to vote the way he spoke.

va VAL AAACCO AA4C AlAAAEl 1d4ilAly
in Long burrows" by Dora Ayde-
lotte, and published by D. Appleton
Co. (S2)
Here is a natural, lovable and
beautiful story Of farm life days that
are only memories now. Long Fur
rows" is a masterpiece.
THE author has put together no
Il melodrama but simply the
triumphs and the failures of every
thing that grew on a farm.
Pa was even tempered and he only
got real mad about twice in his
life. One was when his trusted
hired hand got drunk on hard cider,
became too feeble to turn off the
spigot, and all of Pas cider was
wasted.
Pa got so mad he fired the hired
man and got another one who
wouldn't look at a cider barrel.
Pa also got mad" every four
years around "gineral election time.
A Republican, Pa was sure the
whole country would go to the dogs
if his party was not in the saddle.
The entire family would get into
a big wagon with kitchen chairs
placed in it and all of them, in
Guiding the hired hand, would 60
into town to hear the political spell
binders and then take part in a
great and noisy torch light parade.
Those were the days when the
