THE sTEROsCoPE

The STEROSCOPE is a new in strument that I have added to my X-Ray equipment. These sterescope X-Ray pictures bring out the third dimension or depth and show rota- tions or twists in the spine that have been overlooked before. Chronic cases of disease that have not responded to the old method of chiropractic are getting well today.
 Why suffer with chronic head aches, constipation, rheumatism, paralysis, appendicitis, bronchitis, high blood pressure, neuritis, stom- ach, spleen and liver trobles, when scientific X-Ray chiropractic will remove the cause of these diseases. Investigate. Consultation costs you nothing and may mean your health.

Beware Coughs
 from common colds That Hang On

No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take chance with anything less than Creomul- sion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble to aid nature to soothe and heal the inflamed mem- branes as the gern-laden phlegm is loosened and expelled.
 Even if other remedies have failed, don't be discouraged, your druggist is authorized to guarantee Creomulsion and to refund your money If you are not satisfied with results from the very first bottle. Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.)

Bank Offers Award
For Lawn Beauty

Three awards totalling $25 have
been offered by the Citizens State
bank through the Civic and Com
merce association for the purpose
of promoting better yards in Red
wood Falls. The award will be
an annual affair, according to L.
R. Ewart, vice president of the
bank.
With the idea that Redwood Falls
can very easily have more present
able lawns and gardens, the donors
will give $3.50, $3.50 and SIS,
to three local contestants. Winners
will be selected through point
system based tentatively on the
greatest improvement shown, the
best appearing lawn, the best kept
through the contest and the great
est family interest in bettering
the premises.
The contest begins begins April
Is and ends August l during
which period lawns will be visited
and probably photographed by a
committee of the civic association
Good looking back yards will re.
ceive credit and it is understood
that the whole place must be uni.

yard will be frowned upon, the
committee says.

1.-THE injunction along with Green,
Murphy and Mrs. Appleton. The
plaintiffs were represented during
the February hearing by A. c.
Dolliff of Redwood Falls and A.
R. English of Tracy, while Bre-
chet, D. I. Bundle and John E.
Katzmarek, all of the attorney
generals office, defended the
highway department and Brown
and Murphy, Mrs. Appleton.
The litigation was instigated by
the group of taxpayers because of
alleged exorbitant settlement
which had been agreed upon for
Mrs. Appleton's property, adja-
cent to construction activities on
the new Redwood river bridge and
of the new pavement for high
way 10. The department had pre-
viously appealed q $4,000 damage
appraisal by commissioners, as
being excessive.
Under the stipulations of the
$4,000 settlement, whereby the
state was to acquire outright pos
session of the lot situated on Min
nesota street at the foot of the
new paving, Mrs. Appleton had
until June l to move the dwelling
to another location.
Although both legally were de-
PENDANTS, the decision also serves
as a victory for King and Schmahl
as both had opposed the payment
of the $4,000 as being excessive,
King refusing to authorize the is
suance of the warrant, while Sch
mahl stated he would not issue the
warrant even if it was sanctioned.

ALASKA BECOMES LAND
OF GREATER PROMISE

More interesting, perhaps, than the
outcome of the government-fostered col
ony in the Matanuska Valley of southern
Alaska will be its indirect influence.
Latest information from Alaska is that
a thin but steady stream of farmers is
arriving, bearing their own equipment,
and ready to "go it on their own"
These rugged individual pioneers
are gradually taking up locations in the
Kenai Peninsula, and up north OF the
Matanuska colony into the Tanana Val
ley almost as far as Fairbanks. The
offices of Gov. John w. Troy at Juneau
and those of chambers of commerce OF
Alaska cities are piled with mail, in
ouiries about farm possibilities in the
territory.
The Matanuska colony itself seems to
be doing we'll. with all internal criticism
leveled at details of management rather
than at the territory itself or the local
conditions. There are 158 families there
now, with 41O children, of whom 46 nave
been born since the migration year ago
in May
Marketing of vegetables and dairy
products from the colony is beginning,
and there is reason to believe that
Alaska can use far more of such prod
ucts than Matanuska ever can produce.
That is why individual farmers, many
of them veterans of many years IN the
"dust bowl" of the west, have been COL
lecting the remainder of their cash as
sets. their tools, and their families, and
striking out for the "new land OF
Alaska
They hope to find more secure fu-
ture digging" for vegetables In the
northern territory than their grand
fathers ever found digging fol-. gold.
Matanuska families know of drouth
and heat in the western part of the
United States only through reading of
them. Matanuska temperatures never
rose about 80 during the summer, ana
there were sufficient intermittent rams.
The land has proved to be Just as Ter
tile as represented. A long waiting llst
is ready to fill any vacancies that may
develop in the colony.
Thus it begins to be fair bet that the
experiment of transporting few relief

THIS COULD NOT BE WRITTEN
UNDER JAPANESE REGIME

Americans should be happy in this
day and age that they are Americans,
not residents of any one of a number
of foreign nations. The realization of
their fortunate citizenship is necessary
TO its continuance, so the study of for
eign methods is of intense interest here
Fortune magazine, in its September is
sue, describes one condition which would
be unbearable to American citizens.
Under it, this editorial could not be
written.
The article deals with Japanese CEN
sorship, which has been described as
thought control" Even the term sounds
preposterous in the United States, yet
in Japan, according to the magazine,
thousands are arrested annually because
they might-and it is sometimes just
possibility-be tn ink ing dangerous
thoughts. The person who expresses
such dangerous" thoughts is indeed in
a bad way
Press, radio and moving pictures are
rigidly censored, so that the japanese
people will read, hear and see only what
their leaders wish them to. In other
words, even their thoughts are controlled.
In the Japanese press, bans are regularly
issued on topics which the press is for
hidden even to mention.
Eternal vigilance is the price of free
dom, it has been rightfully said. Realiz-
ing to what extent freedom has been
curtailed elsewhere, the American peo-
pie are in position to guard their own
precious heritage.
