From R. c. HOLES, publisher of the

edition of that excellent newspaper hon
oring the dedication of Orange county's
harbor May % and pa The completion
of this big development program deserv-
es the enthusiasm reflected in the edi-
ton, and the obvious cooperation be-
tween business men and the reading
public in compilation of such an, elabor-
ate issue of the newspaper is equally
commendable. 1t goes to show that CO.

The terrors practiced by the Black
Legion of Wayne county, Mich, in fur
therance of a Puritanical moral CODE"
and against Catholics, Jews and other
groups, have done nothing but bring
national indignation against the men,
bers, who are worse than many of our
present day gangsters
The example proves that the Ameri-
ca Of today is founded upon tolerance,
not upon terrorism We follow our own
paths, SO long as they do not endanger
society, and the other chap can follow
his. Any organization attempting to
break down this system and to enforce
its own warped ideas upon the whole
of the country, or any part Of it, is doom
ed to failure from the start

WHAT ARE DISTRICT BONDS WORTH?

Imperial county has bonded debt of $3,228850
an Irrigation District bonded debt and unpaid war
rants Of $15128,265; contract debt of 10000
for All American canal; $13,500000 for power de-
veopment and distribution, and 100000 for add-
public debt of $72,357,115 100000 acres,
average debt of $179.
The true worth Of any property is the amount it
can be sold for above the public debt against it.
Thousands of of land in the valley be
bought for $40 which makes the true value
of that land 500 AN ACRE LESS THAN MOTH
ING If you paid man 500 to take farm
gift you would have given him nothing-he would
have nothing.
Are District bonds worth 80 cents on the dollar,
or are they worth less than the paper they writ
ten on?

NEW YORK
DAY by DAY
By O. O. Mcintyre

NEW YORK May 27.-There's an
odd bit of psychology-and some
thing no one has been able to eX
plain-that goes into the physical
makeup of a successful night club
Almost without exception the out
standing favorites with the public
are those with low ceilings.
The spacious and skyey places in
New York, with the notable eX
ception of the old Palais Royal
have generally been conducted at a
loss. Some say it is the acoustics
and others say the big places lose
the intimacy that gives lady q
chance to show off her gowns.
Ell Morocco, the most crowded
spot at the moment, illustrates the
idea. The decorations are a pre-
tense at depicting the desert and
done somewhat with Coney Island
garishness. Yet a tall man could
almost touch the ceiling, and so
they turn 'em away.
Bustanoby's Domino Room and
Tom Healy's, of other days, were
conspicuous for low ceilings and en-
joyed astonishing vogue. A dozen
or more of the most beautiful din
ing rooms in town, especially in
hotels, are desolate because of their
cathedral depth.

Other Editors Say
YOUTH AGAINST WAR
Salinas POST

That half a million young American col
lege students could be induced to assemble on
one day and declare that they will never don
their country'S uniform or fight their countrys
foe is something to disturb the greybeardS.
Before We let ourselves get too worked up
over it however, it might be sensible to sit
down calmly and try to figure out whose fault
it all is.
1t won't do to blame it ali on personal soft
headedness or cowardice. That answer is too
pat; it explains nothing. but merely substitutes
one puzzle for another. These youngsters did
what they did because they had something on
their minds What was it, and how did it get
there?
1t is reasonable to assume. first of all. that
they were thinking about 1918 -.
As We get far enough away from the World
War to obtain good perspective on it. We can
see that 1t was one of the greatest tragedies of
all history; not because it took such a frightful
number of lives, but because those lives seem
to have been poured out FOR so little purpose
war to save democracy, which left de
mocracy on the verge of DEATH war to end
militarisn. which left militarism stronger than
ever before; a TO crush despotism, which
succeeded only IN replacing the despotsm of
divine right with that of brute strength-what
Young man. collegiate or otherwise. could look
back at that without feeling that somebody had
sold his elders colossal gold brick?
We have had other postwar generations,
but none OF them looked back at any such thing
as that. Our other wars bloody and stupid and
avoidable though they may have been, did at
least settle things. This left a worse mess
than it found and settled next to nothing
But that isn't all that may have been on
our collegians minds. They also had the recent
munitions trade disclosures to null over, and
the mulling can't have been very pleasant.
If the profits before patriotism revelations of
the last year nave not been enough to set any
young mans heart against war. nothing could
ever DO it.
To ask young man TO give up his life for
something bigger and better than himself IS
one thing; to ask him to dot it 50 that some INT
m arm nj r. nnTG Vaar
per cent dividend IS something quite different
It's not exactly surprising if collegiate youth
ch0ked on it,
In other words. if our young men are swear
ing off on war. We have only ourselves TO blame
The stupidity which brings on wars that
should be avoided the greed which debases the
high ideals for which men are asked TO die
these are the real villains behind the students

Not many newcomers to New
York realize that about 80 years
ago Harlem was as Irish as the pro.
verbal Paddy's Pig. Every new ar
rival from Erin went straight for
what was called Irish Harlem,
Goats roamed side streets and the
merchants bore such names as
O'Hennessey, MCGUIRE and Hanra
han. There was a lively social
club called The Pat and Mike, '
where the good citizens gathered
weekly and expressed their Irishry
in jig and reel. And the Sunday

1t should not be necessary to resort
TO legal prosecution TO keep the county
roads clean. Their good condition and
cleanliness is a thing which benefits all
residents of the valley, just as safety
signs at particularly dangerous corners
are a factor in preventing serious acci-
dents which might take the life of any
one of us at any time There is every
reason in the world in favor of abiding
by Road District Foreman P. c. Os-
waits request to avoid vandalism and
sloVenlineSs, and none against it.
Yet there have been cases of fla
grant violation of good taste and of the
law. Only last week truck driver
dumped a load of tin cans into the bOr-
row pit beside the Dogwood road. By
going a mile or so out of the way, he
could have disposed of them at a place
intended for such things. Out of Sc red
light reflectOrS placed at dangerous in
tersections less than a year ago, only
one or two remain. The others have
been destroyed or unbolted and carried
away. The same is true of several stop
signs At one intersection south of
Ell Centre, vandals went to the trouble
to unbolt the sign from its post, remove
it and put the bolts back in place, leav-
ing the post standing.
The vandalism has the appearance Of
rattle-brained, thoughtless you h u !
pranks. The roadside dumping of ref
use is nothing but slovenly carelessness.
Neither can be excused in the light Of
common sense or community interest.

Sharp Decline in Farm Lands
Values During Depression
Reflected in Report

Just how seriously Redwood
county was struck by the drouth
of 1884 and how sharply land val
ues declined from 1929, boom in
Gustrial year, to 1885 are shown in
the federal farm census prelimin-
ary figures released this week.
Where county farm lands and
buildings were worth SAC, ,679, TAO
in the 1880 census, the compila-
ton five years later places their
worth at $29, ,9o2,596. This is a
reduction in the value of the av-
erage farm from $13,-.97 70 $10,-
991 or in the average price per
acre from $89.91 to $55.18
The number of farms increased
in the period from 2,646 with an
average acreage of 204.6 to 2,728
farms with an average acreage of
1892. The mortgage foreclosure
period cut down the number of
part owners from 425 to 384 while
full owners increased from 927 to
969. Tenanted farms increased ac-
cordingly from 1,273 five years

$3OO,OOO DAMAGE
in new ULM FIRE
4 Buildings Burned as Flames
Sweep Half Block In
Business District

An entire half block of New
Ulm's business district, four two
story buildings, was destroyed
early Friday morning by fire with
a loss estimated as nigh as $780,
600, practically all of which is
covered by insurance.
The fire started in the Muesing
drug store on the east side of the
main street in the middle of the
clock opposite the Dakota house,
and spread south successively 20
the Beehive ready-to-wear and
dry goods store, Schleuder's jew
elry store and the State Bank of
New Ulm on the corner. The first
three structures, with their Sec
end story offices were consumed
by the flames until only the out
side walls remained, while the
bank building, although very bad
ly damaged, was not wiped out as
completely as the otner three.
With the temperature reading
about 35 degrees below zero, New
Ulm's three fire companies were
called into action to combat the
blaze, the largest in the amount
of loss in the city's history. Res
idents, leaving their warm beds
in the before dawn hours, rushed
to the scene of the fire, unmindful
of the penetrating cold, many of
them Offering their volunteer SER
vices in an effort to prevent the
fire from wiping the entire busi-
ness district.
