PUBLISHED elsewhere in this issue of
r The Gazette is complete report OF
county receipts and expenditures dur
ing 1896. Money you paid in taxes is In
Guided in the funds received and spent dur
ing the year and the laws OF Minnesota very
wisely require that complete accounting
of county affairs be made annually.
County expenditures frequently come IN
for considerable criticism during political
campaigns. Some candidates are not above
twisting the facts to suit their purposes, or
telling half-truths with the same results.
Here you have the whole truth, good or bad:
Careful study of the report may reveal
injustices or suggest opportunities for saw
ings. We believe we express the sentiment
of the board in suggesting that any such
cases should be taken up with your commits
sioner and will receive proper consideration
A proposed law with some merit but
peculiar quirk if passed by the legislature
would make it illegal to operate trucks or
trailers weighing 5000 pounds or more on
public highways Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays during the summer months, except
from 7 D. m. until l a. m. of the following
of trucks during the evening when motor
car travel is heavy. Moreover truck is
greater road hazard at night than during
the day when other drivers can be certain
Just how much of it's great hulk extends over
the center line. If it is advisable to restrict
truck travel at all, turning the roads over to
them from II p. m. to a. m. or even fur
Their into the morning would be far more
practical.
A bill before the state legislature at the
present time would make it compulsory for
school boards of independent districts to
publish annual financial statements such as
are already required of city and county gov
erning bodies. The board of education OF
independent school district one, Redwood
Falls has published such report with a
comparison of expenditures for previous
years before each annual meeting for some
time with the result that local taxpayers are
fully advised as to the condition OF their dis
trict and where tax money is spent With
this precedent well established here, the law
may never be needed in Redwood Falls but
the benefit of the practice is such that we
can recommend the law for passage.
Another bill the legislature is ponder
ing would limit the working hours of women
TO IA per week. We suspect the playing card
trust may be lobbying for the amendment.

I'm up early enough this week to do
a lot of writing. And who wouldn't be,
with two boys, always getting up with
the birds?
Sunday mornings make no differ

sity of a few extra winks by their
parents.
This morning was just usual morn

George awakened me by rafting
his bed. I glanced over to the clock
and managed deep groan. The big
hand was at twelve, the little hand at
five. A joyous thought that perhaps
the little Teller was only turning in

an instant later he opened the door.

"Well, go ahead; don't let me stop

And that, in case you don't know it,
is merely the beginning.
"My bunny wants in bed, too," so he
crawls out for that, stepping on my
hair. Back in again, this time hitting
me on the head with his knee. By the
time to get his "humpty sheet" around
his neck, his bunny tucked in, his cold
feet against you, he decides he doesn't
want a pillow. After the pillow is re-
moved and you try to get settled for a
few winks, any or all of the following
