The School Paper

WYE WERE pleased last week to report
w the decision of the school board and
superintendent of Redwood Falls
schools to encourage students to launch the
new school publication, the first issue OF
which will be distributed Monday.
Redwood Falls has not had a school
annual or regularly published school paper
for several years, one of the few schools it's
size which has not offered students exper-
fence in this line. Many much smaller schools
have had quite pronounced success with pub
LEGATIONS, including Wabasso which each
year gets out an attractive annual and Osseo
where a publication similar to what the
school paper here will be in it's first year,
was published under the supervision of Mr..
Gray, now superintendent here.
A school paper should be real asset
to teachers in English in developing student
interest in their work and will serve to make
other school activities far more successful
through the publicity afforded them in the
new paper.

Needed Improvement

THE VERY poor condition of the base
ball diamond on which the St. Paul and
Minneapolis teams played Thursday and
the none too satisfactory condition of the
high school gridiron bring to Redwood Falls
attention again the need for an adequate
athletic center.
Several organizations have expressed
their willingness to help back the purchase
and equipping of plot of land which would
serve for all kinds of sports. The cost should
not be prohibitive and if percentage of re-
ceipts from games was required for use of
the field and equipment, such improvements
as bleachers, lights and tennis courts could
be added and paid for without taxes or dona-
lions.
Investigation of appropriate and mex
pensive possible sites should be continued
this fall and winter and the necessary terms
made so that work could begin with the early
spring. We have had some excellent teams
locally and some good sports attractions
from outside brought here in recent seasons.
Let's give them a place to play for which
there need be no apologies.

October 6-12

HE WEEK of October to IL has been
/ designated as national fire prevention
week, time for general check-up of fire
hazards and adequacy of fire insurance car
ried and for calling the attention of the pub
lie to careless practices which each year re-
suit in millions of dollars in fire losses.
In Redwood Falls, if practices of other
years are continued, some demonstration
will be made each day of the week as part
of the observance and fire officials will in
spect easements, attics and other fire haz-
ard zones in the business district and urge
residents to make similar check-ups in their
homes.
We have had comparatively few fires
since last fire prevention week. This is
largely because our firemen consider it as
much their duty to prevent fires as to ex-
tinguish them after they have started. The
process is a great deal less spectacular and
brings them little glory, but it is a great
service to the community.

.NCTOBER 1 is the last day of The Ga
~ zette's unique and altogether success
full dot contest. It will be pleasure
next week to announce the winners of the
ten regular prizes and the one special prize
added this week. This campaign is but one
of many efforts of The Gazette to increase
it's circle of friends and add to and hold it's
vast leadership in the circulation field
It is no secret in newspaper circles that
circulation is a liability rather than an asset
unless paper can increase it's advertising
revenue as a result of circulation gains
Through the farsightedness of Redwood
Falls merchants and their appreciation of
circulation value in advertising, we have,
fortunately, been able to keep the wolf off
the doorstep without an upward adjustment
in advertising rates. Space in The Gazette
today is actually worth three times what it
was eight years ago because it has three
times as many readers, yet the rate remains
the same.

Missing Boys

IT HE HUMORIST who wrote and pub
lished the quip that the small boy is a
pain in the neck when he is present
and a pain in the heart when he is absent
gave an excellent illustration of how close
laughter and tears may be to each other !;
and of how witticism may reveal pro-
found and meaningful philosophy. No mat
ter how sorely a boy may try the patience
of his elders by his pranks and mischief once
let it be known that he is missing and un-
accounted for and quickly those who were
disposed to complain about the FRANKS and
mischief find themselves willing to put up
with any amount of irritation if only they
are assured of his safety.
Which is worth calling attention to Dy
way of helping some of us to look with a
more patient eye upon the explosive and ut
terly unpredictable ways of small boys with
whom we have to do. We once heard speak
er at Rotary club conference say that the
normal small boy has in his makeup 999
springs to keep him making noise and one to
keep him quiet. And often older people are
inclined to blame the small boy for an inclin-
alton to activity which the said boy can no
more help than he can fly. There is some
thing within him that urges him irreslstlbly
to act. This inner urge must, OF course, be
guided into useful channels. Educators have
possible means of development, and use res
traint only when absolutely necessary. The
old theory of constant repression and domin-
alton of the boy by his elders has pretty well
passed out of our thinking.
But the use of method of wider free
dom inevitably leads to tragedy in some in
stances 1t is but natural for people to say
that people should keep closer watch on their
boys; but often the boy who is most carefully
watched is just the one who escapes atten-
ton at the precise time he needs it most. 1t
is an impossibility to watch them all the
time, nor would it be best for the boy to
know that he is constantly under survel-
lance. If he is to grow up to normal man.
hood there are certain chances he must take,
and sometimes, alas those chances prove
too great for his experience to cope with and
he is among the missing. Why this should
be so is one of the mysteries we cannot
solve: but we must live with it as we do with
other mysteries whose solution eludes US

Weekly Working Hours

WHEN NEWSPAPER men on metropo-
w Titan papers strike a dull night with
time to talk over the future or the
past, conversation almost always turns to
someone's experiences in the orient, or on
the Capetown Tribune or to the day "I'll own
weekly newspaper somewhere"
Most big city newspaper men have no
hope of becoming the owner of the million
dollar property of which they are an en-
ployee but within the realm of possibility is
their chance of gathering enough hard earn
ed dollars to make the down payment on
some rundown country shop.
Then, as their dream goes, they will be
forever free from the rush and turmoil
which threatens to make them old men at
As and will work one day week, getting
the paper out, while the other six will be
spent watching the dollars roll in and trying
theories on journalism acquired during
years in the profession.
Camden West, formerly city editor of
the st. Paul Pioneer Press, is an example of
a man who had this idea for the future. By
the hour, the writer has tried to tell him
that while the weekly newspaper business is
a pleasant one, it is no such rosy heaven as
he anticipated. That while a newspaper can
be operated on the schedule of working
hours he and his friends picture for it, there
is decided question as to how long it's
creditors will allow it to be so operated.
Recently Cam became editor of the War
road Pioneer in section of Minnesota far
removed from his old headquarters. From a
meager four pages he has built it to six and
eight pages, steadily increasing it's news
coverage and features. Seeing this develop
ment, we have wondered about his working
hours. Last week friend called upon him,
found him working six or seven days per
week and -four to six nights besides, the
same schedule kept by publishers of every
weekly newspaper we know of that is get
ting to first base in it's community.

A prisoner was recently released from
the famous Alcatraz prison. He proceeded
to tell the world that it is the most vicious
prison on earth-that the inmates hate it
that AL. Capone has ragged so much that he
has had to be put in solitary dungeon
that the system Of forcing inmates to keep
silence is driving many of them crazy. The
everyday citizen will probably not be able to
get up any great sympathy for the murder
ers who complain about the severe discipline
at Alcatraz. One wonders where the crooks
get the idea that after they are caught red
handed in their burglaries and murders, they
should expect to go to prison that is like
a Sunday picnic. Prisons are presumed to
be institutions of punishment. Why should
Capone and other murderers have special
privileges while being boarded at the ex-
pense of the American taxpayer? For our
part we rejoice to learn that Alcatraz is
sstough," and that it makes crooks wish they
had never seen murray County Herald.

"Mr. Heath has high fever and can
scarcely speak aloud" explained she.
'I'm afraid he is quite i'll. l wish
you'd call up Doctor Stetson."

answered Marcia. "Mr. Heath was rest

heard him tossing about, and thinking
he might be hungry, / heated some
broth and took it to him. He declares
he is going back to New York today"
sBut he can't-he mustn't"
"He is determined to. He says he
has something very important to at

son can exert some. That Is why I am

So occupied was she with her

Prince Hal. In fact she had supposed
that he had gone up the beach with
Marcia.
Now she suddenly became aware
that he stood shifting about the hearth,
scratching at its surface as If he
scented something beneath.
He must not do that, and she told
him so in no uncertain terms. Never

aroused her curiosity and she went to
see what disturbed him.

you're only bluffing. Well, to con-
vince you, I'll take up the brick"
Fetching from the pantry a steel
fork, she inserted the prongs in the
crack and pried the offending brick
out of its hole.
Instantly the dog snatched from the
space beneath a handkerchief con-
tanning small, hard object.
Sylvia chased after him.
Bring it here, Hal! That's a good
dog! Bring it to Missy"
The setter came fawning to her
side and unwillingly dropped his prize
at her feet.
AS it fell to the ground, out rolled
such a glory of jewels the girl could
scarcely believe her eyes.
There was a string of diamonds,
dazzling as giant dewdrops; a pearl
and sapphire pendant; several beauti-
full rings; and an oval brooch, its
emerald center surrounded by tier
after tier of brilliants.
Sylvia painted, breathless. She had
never seen such gems, much less held
them in her hands. How she longed
to slip the rings upon her fingers and
try the effect Of the diamonds about
her slender throat!
Prudence, however, overmastered the
impulse. Marcia might return and sur
prise her at any moment Before that
the treasure must be returned to the
place from which it had been taken.
Gathering the rainbow heap together,
she reluctantly thrust 1t into its blue
leather case, snapped the catch, and
placed it once more under the brick.
Then with relief she stood up and
wiped the perspiration from her fore
head.

chair, book in hand, and struggling to
quiet her quick breathing that she dis

handkerchief that had been wrapped
about the jewel case.
It was a mans handkerchief of finest

There was no need to be told the
jewels were his. What puzzled her
WAS whom he had found time tO hide

was his booty safe beneath the floor.
