cradle pride in the splendid shopping opport-
mities it offers the residents OF wide ana
prosperous area. Needs in virtually every
line can not only be filled here but the GUS
toner is offered selection far wider than
usually found in towns several times our
size, and generally more reasonably priced.
Anything not Immediately obtainable in our
stores is available quickly through connec-
lions with the great wholesale markets.
From the standpoint of our customers
comfort, however, we are not so laudably
thoughtful. We are thinking now of the
numerous times we have seen women, their
shopping done, trying to keep track OF sew
eral small children on the street, their pro-
blem greatly increased when the weather is
inclement. Certainly city which has so
many visitors should have a spacious, clean
and warm restroom where the needs of
small children, including nursing, diaper
changes and toilet needs can be administer
ed; warm place in winter and cool and
quiet place in summer where mothers can
rest and chat bit, away from the worries of
traffic and where they will not feel, on busy
afternoons or evenings, that they are inter-
fering with trade in stores.
We have had such facilities in the past
but discarded them in the economy wave
which swept the country several years back.
Today several firms try to maintain such
quarters in a small way, at an expense to
them without really providing what is need
ed.
The village of Morgan is to be congrat-
ulated on it's new library, museum and
bandstand but more appreciated than these
worthwhile facilities, we venture the guess,

project is being undertaken as a memorial,
an entirely fitting and extremely useful
memorial.
Redwood Falls, we feel, might still get
such memorial gift if sincere interest
were shown. We business men should for
get, for a moment, our efforts to provide
salable merchandise and think in terms OF
customers comforts. We should through
the Civic and Commerce association and
Lions club, investigate the possibility of
such project here and with the help of wo-
mems clubs, who certainly could find no
more worthwhile and appropriate enter
| prise, follow it through to completion.
TACIT SUPPORT FROM PERSONS
associated with him naturally follows when
a man successful in business or in public
office files for higher public position but
when county officials so definitely align
themselves behind a candidate as Renvllle
county commissioners and the county audit
or there have behind Jennings l.. O'Connor,
one must assume they are thoroughly sold
on the mans qualifications.
The following letter dated October 20
was mailed to county commissioners in other
counties of the seventh district:
Mr. Jennings L. O'Connor has been treas
Of 1nty for fha
years, and at this time he is candidate for
the United States congress in the seventh con-
!, gressional district for Minnesota. During this
time this county board and the county auditor
!, of Renville county have had many hard pro-
blems to solve, just like your county has. Mr..
| OConnor led the fight the refinancng of all
our ditch bonds and result every ditch
: bond in Renville county was refnanced and
the interest rate cut from five and six per cent
to three per cent.
We know that if MI. O'Connor is elected
to congress, he will fight for the reduction of
interest rates on bonds and farm mortgages
for the entire seventh congressional district.
: Anything that you personally do in
behalf of Mr.. OConnor would certainly be
appreciated by this board and the county
e auditor of this county.
The letters were signed, each and every
one, by Vern F. Zumwinkle, NJ P. Sanger
Martin Fieldhammer, Alfred Dickmeyer and
Henry Dobberstein, county board members
and G. A. Strom, county auditor.
