The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1938-11-24


milton meeting at Wabasso Saturday night,
we We're impressed again with the outstand-
ing work this organization is doing. Excel
lent leaders in the central office and COM
petent local senior and junior advisers are
contributing immeasurably to better farm
ing methods in the rising generation. But
beyond that, they are developing tomorrow's
leaders, youngsters who can conduct meet
ings properly and with dispatch, youths who
can and do express themselves from the floor
in manner which is the envy of most old
er folks. We suspect that tomorrow's farm
problems are being solved today at All club
meetings.
ONE OF THE ELECTION NIGHT
wisecracks in the endless chain Of telephone
calls at The Gazette office was, who'll be
sleeping in the chair next to the bearded
senator from Renville county next session."
When the smoke had cleared both incum-
bents had been defeated by lawyer oppon-
ents, Gage of Fairfax and Seifert of Spring
field. The senate-attorneys barely lacked
majority of that body's votes last session;
may be over the top this time
SLEEPY EYE IS BEING PICKED ON
numerically by New Ulm and Springfield
newspapers because it's election judges toll
ed over their jobs day and half and longer
after the polls closed. The delay held up
compilations of complete returns and left
several races in doubt much longer than
seemed necessary. Like Redwood Falls,
Sleepy Eyes population is now 5000 or bet
ter and two voting wards at major elections
are not enough.
WE SUSPECT THAT WAR DEBTS
are more often mentioned in political speech
es than diplomatic conferences and that
Washington insiders figure them as "charg-
ed off" What welcome we would give the
king and queen, however, if the story got
around that they are bringing check for
the balance of England's bill.
THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT
does not require rural mail carriers to de-
liver mail over routes that are blocked by
snow Therefore, Postmaster Linnihan is
appealing to rural patrons to cut and burn
weeds along the roadsides. Snow quickly
piles up where weeds are left standing and
makes roads impassable.-Red Lake Falls

party in Minnesota has been headed for the

people of the United States want and they
will fight to keep it.-Red Lake Falls Times.
