IN LINE WITH A PRONOUNCED
trend in politics, Endorsed even by President
Roosevelt in a recent speech, the election OF
q governor in Minnesota this fall will be a
choice between individuals rather than be-
tween political faiths or parties.
The Republican platform adopted last
week so closely parallels the Farmer-Labor
declarations of purpose as to leave little
choice to voters except as they may approve
or disapprove of the administration OF FL
mer Benson and evaluate the untried admin
istrative qualities of Harold Stassen.
The Republican plank-placers benefited
by five months lapse between conventions
making it possible to incorporate features
in line with recent trends-otherwise the
two platforms might almost have been as
sembled by the same hands on the same af
ternOOn.
Both pledge adequate relief for the I'M
employed, recognizing that great sector of
the population dependent upon government
help.
Both recognize the need for state labor
relations legislation. Both pledge labor the
right to organize and bargain collectively.
Both oppose railroad consultations affecting
wage earners. ...: -
Farmers find much the same planks:
l. Cost of production 2. Protection of
dairy farmers against oleomargarine. 3.
Research to develop farm crop uses. 4. Pro-
lection and development of the American
market.
On taxation, both declare against a
sales tax. The .Farmer-Laborites would
eliminate the state tax on homesteads, the
!. Republicans would reduce the state tax on
all property.
! And so through the planks from the
foit fo
the sections dealing with conservation, there
is great similarity in the programs set forth
for Minnesota The Farmer-Laborites go
farther in some instances, the Republicans
in others, but except for the COP attacks on
waste, extravaganza intolerance, confisca-
tory taxes, state debt increases, radicalism
and fouting of laws on state contracts the
structures are almost interchangeable.
This is partly due to changes in polite
al thinking. Too much has been done in
broadening government powers and increas-
ing social activities to ever return to-, the
laissez-faire doctrines of a generation ago.
; The Republican party has changed hands.
Although the conservative fringe is recog-
nized and revered for past accomplishments,
the more liberal element appears to be in the
drivers seat
In the other camp the Farmer-Labor-
ties, in their declarations, recognized the un-
popularity of the communistic fringe and
avoided the mistakes of the red platform of
a few years back. Their program for Mime
sofa is toned down."
Broadening on the one hand, realizing
the public does not want too radical changes
on the other, bring the opposed parties
nearer to accord on the states theoretical
future.
Judging by their actions, delegates to
both see the need for outside support part
icularly Democratic help. They recognize
that the rank and file of both parties are no
longer widely apart as to detectives.
The campaign therefore boils down to a
choice between Benson and Stassen.

More Building Permits

|, At the moment, business news
lis a shade on the optimistic side.
E0rsa instance. all to the good is
|sfhesa4ews that John and Jane Citi-
zenS in 1000 cities are trotting
down to city clerks in increasing
numbers for building permits.
July permits scared about 80 per
cent over June's, which means
they're nearly one ard a half
times as numerous as they were in
August, 1897. \
Not so good is the lag in cigaret
sales. Americans puffed nearly 10
per cent fewer ready-made ciga-
rets in July. And, strangely
enough, roll-your-oWn tobacco is
selling like hot cakes. That looks
as if somebody's cutting expenses.
Take the question of new car.
It's the most important question
on the business horizon, as well
as in thousands of homes. For, as
automobiles go, SO goes the nation.
Even though sales have been
nothing to write home about, the
news is encouraging in the auto
mobile business. Dealers have an
average of four old-model cars
each in their show rooms. That
means new cars are somewhat
scarce. Used cars are selling bet
ter, continuing a pickup that
started in July.
To take your wife's breath
away, the new 1889 streamliner
will crash the spotlight in a few
more weeks. More streamlining,
yes, but larger, wider bodies. The
automobile trade says you can't
resist them and their gadgets,
such as more glass, less gear
shifting, better brakes, and sleek
er cushions. More important than
beauty is the story that the auto
makers are spending half a billion
dollars for materials and tools to
make these new cars. That's life
blood to the body economic.
Farms And Jobs
Now take the news from the
farms. Farmers are rolling up
some of the largest SURPRISES we
have ever known and nobody
seems to want to take them off
their hands. The cotton surplus
is forecast above 100000 bales.
Excess wheat soon will hover
close to the 500,OOO,0OO bushel
mark.
The administration is spending
three-quarters. of a billion dollars
to rescue the farmer from absol-
ute collapse from his abundance,
and still prices are far below
what they should be. True, farm
er income is going to be reason
ably good, this year, what with
government help, but still nothing
to shout about.
But jobs. Jobs are the magic
that will make any kind of politi-
cal hooray look like a million dol
lars, whether it be Hoover's two
chickens in every pot, or Roose-
velt's New Deal. What about Jobs?
Industry saw its way clear to take
back 10000 workers in July, and
the trend is bit on the optimis-
tic side.
1t all depends on whether the
pump-priming money, or the
spirit of the times, or the whim of
the buying public can keep up the
good work.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS MADE IN

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS MADE In
Redwood Falls in recent years will rival
those of any other community OF compara-
tive size in Minnesota. They are so pro-
nounced that only the old resident who re-
turns after several years absence fully
realizes of the change which has taken
place.
Foremost, of course, is the new high
school now in use for it's second year. The
new bridge and parkway entrance to the
city add considerable to the beauty of the
Scenic City, while the sewage disposal plant,
now seldom visited or mentioned, cleaned up
park streams and is responsible for the de-
cided increase in park popularity. Memorial
Field, lighted for football and softball and
with fine tennis courts, stadium and other
improvements, is a wonderful addition to
the recreational facilities of the city while
the blacktop treatment of city streets and
the construction of curbs and cutters in big
section of town are splendid improvements.
A new postoffce within the city and
extensive improvement of the main artery
from the south are among several projects
in prospect for this fall
Despite this progress, the city is not
heavily indebted. Recently prepared figures
on the city's finances show debt of sos, 400
of which $4,000 is in special assessments
against property and not to be raised by di-
rect taxation. This left balance of SAT 800
and the city had $2O,5OO on hand. The coun-
ty and school district are also well financed.
We are in a position therefore to under
take further advances. The improvement
of the supply and quality of the city's water
is up for immediate consideration and vot-
ers will be- wise to watch discussions of
possible solutions and weigh arguments on
points. at issue carefully. On the outcome
may hinge the addition of new industries. A
laundry. is likely and canning factory
possible, with the additional families, tax
able property and other advantages such
projects involve.
!. While we congratulate ourselves on
progress made, we must recognize that pro-
gress has been quite general among small
cities in the spending era and will continue
to be SO Throughout the next few years at
least. Redwood Falls must continue to make
forward strides.

A GREAT DEAL OF THE POLITIC-
al thinking of today parallels that of the
Georgia cracker who is quoted as saying,

President Roosevelt. Talmadge will give me
40 acres of land, Rivers will exempt it from
taxes and the president will pay me not to
work it. Yes, sir, that's my ticket

What It Means: That Business Upturn
BY MORGAN NJ. BEATTY
APP Feature Service Writer

Washington - Ii your pocket
book is more interesting to you
than wars and rumors of war, or
purges and rumorS of purge
skip the front page and turn for
while to the financial section.
Pick out the headlines that tell
the dramatic story of what is hap
pening in the business world, if
you would know what lies ahead
for you and your family.
Or if you're bug on politics,
right now the financial pages will
come closer than your congress-
man to telling you what happens
next.
For business news mirrors the
condition of the country, and it's
political axiom that the fate of
Presidents is decided by the con-
dition of the country-and not by
the principles they stand for.
Certainly it is true that Presi-
dents in the past have not surviv-
ed big depressions that begin
while they're in office and last
through election day.
President Roosevelt and his
enemies, the Republicans, are,
therefore, deeply interested in
how many times you visit the
movies, whether you buy a new
car, how many silk stockings your
wife buys, and how many cigarets
you smoke. For all these things
are straws in the business wind,
far more important than con-
gressional hearings on the price
of peanuts or What-have-you.
Signs OF Recovery
At the moment, business news
is extremely important, and will
remain so through the fall. For
business news between now and
Christmas may reflect the success
or failure. of the New Deals latest
four billion dollars worth of
pump-priming. The success or
failure of this particular chunk of
pump-priming may well mark the
rebirth or the death rattle for the
President Roosevelt's New Deal.
It's coincidence that the
drama of politics and business is
playing out the third act, so far
as the President is concerned, on
the anniversary of the current de-
preston. 1t was just a year ago,
in September, that the bottom fell
out of the New Deals prosperity.
But for IL weeks, there have
been multiplying signs of recov-
ery-if one dicounts the war
scare that gave market prices a
tumble. New Dealers will tell you
that pump-priming is taking hold
again. Anti-New Dealers will tell
you that prosperity is not here
yet, and nobody's sure it is COM
ing. Pros say we're in for long,
steady pull upward for three or
four years. Ants say if we do get
prosperity, it will be in spite of
the administration.
So you will have to decide for
yourself.

The various Uses Of the Soy Bean

For year or more I have heard
rumors of the various things that
can be made from the soy bean.
AT last have actually read some
facts concerning these strange oc-
cupations which use the soy bean
! for raw material.
The soy bean, formerly used only
for forage, IS found to be the
source Of many useful articles. At
/ first scientists or research workers
found that the soy bean could be
used for steering wheels on auto
mobiles. Near Nashville, Ameri-
can research workers and a Chin
Iese scientist worked together to
produce a milk that was used il
China thousands of years ago.
They succeeded. They produced
milk from the soy bean, gave it a
flavor and proved it's quality and
worth by feeding it to white rats
in controlled diet experiments.
They have so nearly reproduced
the flavor of cows milk that it is
very difficult to tell the difference.
They have also found that soy
bean milk is cheaper to produce
than milk from cows. The milk is
also almost entirely free from
germs and does not contain lime.
This characteristic makes it per
feet for baby nourishment because
an excess Of lime doesn't do small
children any good The first ques-
ton that arose Immediately con
cerned the imitation Of beef. The
workers finally produced a meat"
that tastes somewhat like ham,
burg and is equally high in protein
content. So we find that the low
ly soy bean has gained in prestige.
In industries it will be used in
plastlcs and in lacquers; in the
nome it will be used as milk" and
meat" to replace the milk and
meat derived by the indirect meth
od of feeding the soy to cattle. It
IS indeed day of Better living
through chemistry"

Radiant Living
MANS GREATEST
FRIEND
By Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

Many a lonely heart when dis
couraged by disappointment, dis
turbed by perplexity, or distracted
by sorrow has wished for a real
friend upon whom to lean for sup
port.
And thank God, you can have
just such a friend, Ones whose
friendship will make your life
really radiant with joy. Like a
child upon his mothers bosom, you
may rest in Him.
This friend, the greatest that a
man can have, is the God of In
finite Love! He is one with whom
you can have a continuous fellow
ship. You may not always be
conscious Of His presence, but you
can be conscious of this that you
are in fellowship with Infinite
Lovei
To have the friendship of God is
to have all the blessedness that at
tends that friendship.
Unlike many so-called friend
ships that vanish when trouble as
sails, Gods friendship becomes
more and more manifest as your
trouble becomes intensified.
What a blessed hour it is for
that soul, who, learning the folly
Of trusting earthly friends, turns
unreservedly to the Infinite God.
To know God Alright is to walk
in Infinite Light. To know Him
as is our privilege to know Him is
to bask in Infinite Love. To know
Him as He would have us know
Him is to thrill with Infinite Life

Red Coral Always Priced

It is red coral that Is and always
has been prized, not solely for Jew
elry and buttons, but as a charm to
bring safety, health and secrets not
revealed to the ordinary person. AS
ancient Gauls rushed headlong In
to battle, they trusted their safety to
their swords, strength and the
magic" coral imbedded in their
shields or helmets. Many Italians
and Indians regard coral as protec-
tion against the "evil eye." The
worlds red coral comes from the
reefs off the Mediterranean coast Of
Africa, says the Washington Post,
and Is obtained chiefly by Italians.
