Washers And Relief

hundreds of thousands of families
ri who earn their own way in life look
1 forward to the day when, among other
things, they can have an electric washer.
Recently family in St. Paul which has been
on relief for eight years demanded such a
convenience.
Investigation revealed that the mother
has ten children, seven of whom have been
born in the last eight years to join their
parents on relief.
No mother of even one child will deny
that this family needs washing machine.
But how can any family explain eight years
on relief? Eight years goes Back to the
balmy early months of 1923 when closed
factories and shops were unknown, when
there was very little excuse for anyone not
making a good living who had strong arms
and willing back
Serious as is the problem of supporting
persons on relief, far more vital is the need
for rehabilitation, of placing persons where
they can and seeing that they do work out
their own salvation instead of remaining
idle and adding to the relief rolls.

Not Vulnerable

TT WILL BE interesting to see as the cam
paign progresses, what sort of opposition
develops to the election of John M. Zwach
for second term as Representatives,
large from Brown and Redwood counties.
Informing himself thoroughly on each
subject up for vote, John has not followed
any party leader in casting his ballot. Part
of the time he has voted with the liberal
element but when he felt it was on un-
safe ground, his ballot was cast with the
To state the matter simply,
he has been as progressive as possible with
out being radical.
A hide-bound conservative is the logical
opponent for a rip-roaring radical and vice
versa Party lines both state and nation
al are gradually forming more definitely
along those lines. The man who ferrets out
the good on both sides of the fence and
stands for it may be headache to party
leaders but he is certainly doing the best
possible lob for his constituents.

Simon Pure Minneapolis

WYE HAVE NEVER blamed the Farm
w er-Labor party's Mayor Latimer for
conditions in Minneapolis, feeling
that while he did nothing about them the
vice joints we are reading so much about
were well rooted and paying good dividends
to corrupt office holders before he took Of
flee.
1t is bit disgusting, however, to read
disparaging remarks by A. l. Harris, party
mouthpiece concerning efforts of Minnea-
polls dailies even though they are late in
starting, to smoke out the offenders. Mr..
Harris contends that vice there is no worse
now than year ago or even 15~ years ago
and implies that the whole matter can be
dismissed with that consolation.
But his "clinching" argument is that
department of justice figures for 1885 give
Minneapolis cleaner slate than any city
outside New England. What are department
of justice figures based on except arrests
and convictions? Since there haven't been
any to speak of, Minneapolis must be a Won
derfully clean city?

Need Supervision

7 F MORE CAN be said on the new athletic
field than was forcefully brought home
by speakers at the Civic and Commerce
association dinner Monday night, it is to
stress the point mentioned by several speak
ers that supervised play for youngsters of
all ages through the summer months is
badly needed, as well as the facilities for
such play.
Few citizens of Redwood Falls would
stand for it if an effort was made to dis
pense with the services of life guard and
swimming supervisor at the bathing beach
during the summer months yet the need for
adult supervision is almost as important on
the sandlot and Fairgrounds where too Of
ten the only authority is the rule of the
bully.
Included in the expenses figured for ac-
quiring and maintaining an adequate ath-
letic field and playground should be the
services, when school is not in session, of a
capable supervisor.

Has Bright Future

rUST HOW GENERALLY Redwood Falls
business men desired a truly representa-
j tive and active association for the car
rying on of community activities is indicat-
ed by the splendid turn-outs at two dinner
meetings held in the last six weeks. Even
in their widest dreams the officers and di-
rectors of the new Civic and Commerce as
sociation probably never anticipated such a
response to their efforts.
Considerable credit is due them for the
painstaking attention to every detail OF
ticket selling, program planning and even
menu suggesting which successful meet
ing involves.
With plans for an athletic field given
new impetus and arrangements for another
big free July program exceptionally well
along for late March, the club may be said
already to have outgrown its swaddling
clothes and taken an important place in
community affairs.
1t was pleasure Monday evening to
hear matters concerning civic activities
frankly and earnestly discussed in open
meeting, with friendly giving and taking on
matters of policies. How much better it is
to present opposing views and reach set
tlement at meetings than to have the crit
icism which sometimes results when there
is no forum before which matters can be
taken.
Needed for many years, Redwood Falls
at last has the start of a powerful civic as
sociation. Every effort should be made by
officers and members to keep it alive, active
and growing

New Farm Plan

h IEXT WEEK a new farm program will
N be explained to Redwood county farm
ers. Another system of controlling
production this time through payments for
soil conservation, the administration hopes
this scheme will not shock the supreme
court and at the same time will be of suf-
ficient merit to gain the support of farmers.
Advance information on the subject
has been sketchy, designed perhaps to in
terest rural sections without encouraging
the forming of premature opposition Com
plete explanation will be given at series of
meetings announced in this issue.
Little can be said for or against the
program from knowledge released to date
but it is certain that some plan is needed
and that cooperation and support is the
only real manner of testing the program Of
fered.
1t probably is unnecessary to urge
that every farmer attend one of the meet
ings and get first hand information on what
is contemplated.

.NAGGING NO
USE TO CURE
NAIL BITING

Children need more than an ap-
plication of bitter paint to their
finger tips to cure them of nail
biting.
Nail biting is a sign of physical
or nervous exhaustion, a Minneso-
ta Medical association bulletin
points out.
The only sensible and effective
treatment for any of these ner-
vous bad habits of children is re-
lief from the fatigue, and i'm
provement in the general condi-
tion and routine of the child.
Some Of these nervous children
are allowed to play too long and
too hard without sufficient sleep
and rest. Others are pushed too
hard at home or at school or both.
Others are given too much atten-
ton by adults and so are constant
~ over-stimulated.
The first thing to do, according
to physicians, is to provide more
hours of sleep and rest and make
these hours regular. The second
is to examine the whole program
of the child, his food, his general
health, his hours Of play and his
school. See that his general health
is good and that his school work
is not heavy.
! Then the entire adult family
should ignore the bad habit, Com
plete disregard and an attitude of
unconcern is worth any amount of
anxious instruction, especially for
younger children. Older children
may respond well to a casual sug-
gestion about the desirability of
attractive hands, if attractive
tools for manicuring are provid-
ed, too In either case nagging is
useless.

/ Dearest Lammie:
Just in from post-dating a few
checks and am reminded that
spring with variations) has
come and with it All FOOLS Day,
a national holiday sponsored by
Bill Smith and Fred Macs.
Am further reminded, in rum
mating on the auspicious date.
that your levity and, may l say,
temerity, in publishing a few So
called joke news items as of date
April l, 1885 did not endear you
to your suffering public.
Am | too presumptuous in sug-
gesting that you turn your atten-
tions this year to serious and
complete news coverage of Red
wood Falls, forsaking all attempts
at humor? That | feel, would be
as good a joke as any.
[ am not one to expect the sup
erhuman of such frail flesh as
yours, Lammie, and would be the
last to trust that you can be
every place at once, like Teddie
Ahrens.
Therefore | offer you a few
leads, in the hope that this year
readers may be spared any jocu-
larity and be enlightened by the
real facts of life and social acti-
yity in the community.
Harry Schenck, Millard Holm
berg and Oscar Randgaard are
the real politicians behind the
proposed new ordinance for pro-
hibiting the return of the pin-ball
game to Redwood Falls. AS you
know, Harry is an amateur photo
grapher and he says he cannot
picture himself or the other two
boys playing the internal ma
chimes.

you keep his name out of the
paper in connection with any
musical activities. In mentioning

Solid Foundation

Make list of ten, twenty or thirty
great men of today who, in your estimation,
will go down in history as having contrlbut-
ed something to the welfare of the world
great president, fine dictator, doctors,
writer's, artists, scientists, statesmen law
yer, publishers. If you could analyze them
the really great-you would find that
without exception their lives are built on
solid and simple foundations. Their roots
have been nourished by very plain and solid
truths, and they value the deep and simple
things in life They have been taught to
amuse themselves, instead of to depend on
ready-made outside amusements, to create
for the Joy of doing something VITAL
The great DR.. Charles Mayo expressed
this truth very we'll when he said, eve
need to go to Europe for inspiration. Euro
peans still have the power to entertain
themselves and don't have to hire profess
sional musicians athletes, and actors to en-
tertain them. In America we sped up our
machinery Of production so hard that we
neglected the finer ways of living. Now we
have got to get back to them for the good
of our health and spiritual life and for good
solid economic reasons. The only thing we
need to produce more of are the things that
as flowers, sculpture, athletic equipment,
music equipment"
The doctor went on to say, Trying to
be happy by means of jazz is about as vain
and unsatisfactory as trying to make good
meal out of pickles and pepper. The very
tempo of jazz is feverish, exciting and alb
solutely the wrong pace for good American
life" We try to visualize Abraham Lin
coin, Woodrow Wilson, Madam Curie, Char
