NO MINOR event in any community is

NO MINOR event in any community is
the laying of the cornerstone for a new
school building. Did you stop to think that
from 5000 to 1000 or more seniors will re-
ceive their diplomas after taking courses at
the new high school and that thousands
more will be members of it's classes before
it is dismantled on some distant day for
twenty-frst century hall of learning. In the
group perhaps will be governor, senator,
maybe even president. A great inventor,
business genius, perhaps great poet or
novelist will trace his foundation in learning
to the Redwood Falls schools. Far more
important, however, are the hundreds OF
good, honest, hard working citizens who will
leave it's halls to become soundly trained
members of the community.
THE DRIVE for aid for crippled chill
dren will hardly be over when the Salvation
Army will have a representative here seek
ing funds for that organizations work.
Both are worthy causes, give something if
you can.
A GREAT many firms are making eff
forts to collect accounts carried through de-
preston years, often at considerable en-
barrassment to the creditor. The older an
account becomes, the harder it is to pay and
to collect. The soundest advice that can be
given young people today is to live within
their income and save something if possible.
ENGLAND is to spend from seven to
eight billion dollars preparing for war
There will also be additional costs over gen.
erations in replacing war implements and
for an increased army and navy personnel
Combined with the existing public debt, the
per capita tax burden on the English will be
between four and five times that of the
United States. We spent little more than
England's proposed expenditure for public
relief and business restoration. We receiv-
ed for it 20 times our spending in increased
national wealth, resources and income. We
maintained the social order and preserved
our industrial system. England's public
debt per family will be about $4,000. Yet
some Americans complain. - Advertiser,

STATE officials considering admission
suit members of the state conservation de-
partment. They know that the public is
hostile to the scheme.

AFTER reading the coronation fuddle-
duddle, we contend that Edward was the
smartest of Queen Mary's boys.
TODAYS simile: as pleasant as the
bankers voice when he calls to state our
bank account is overdrawn-again.
AMELIA Earhart has our respect as an
aviator but this round-the-world flight
strikes us as pretty risky publicity stunt.
PERHAPS the sit-down strike scheme
is American after all. Most of us remember
the gangs that used to assemble around the
stoves in our country stores.
JOHN ZWACH and J. V. Weber take
up interesting topics of statewide interest
in their legislative comments this week.
Don't miss them.
A SOUR note in the better recovery
chorus gets no encore but it is we'll to re-
member that if we get as crazy as we were
in 1929, we can expect another big bust to
follow.
NEW SALES tactics employed here
this week: Our factory is threatened with
a strike. If it's settled or not, expect price
raise. Order now and save the difference
