REDWOOD FALLS POLICE OFFIC-
ers may get in your hair occasionally with
whistle blowing at intersections or advice
that you've doubled parked overtime or
brought your car uptown on Friday, but
you'll have to give the boys credit for being
nrst to get ready for the diamond jubilee
this summer.
Pride of any policeman is his uniform,
including of course his badge and gun. Well
the boys figure their well worn uniforms
don't meet the standards of the street deco
rations, program and such planned for the
city's birthday party and they're doing
something about it. A police benefit dance
will bring about remarkable improvement
in the scenery of the Scenic City.
Police benefit tickets are usually sold
with "Hey there, can't you read, why
don't you learn to driver" and then in
milder but still menacing tone "Have you
bought your benefit tickets YETI" Chief
Johnson of the Redwood Falls department
figures that method is workable in big city
but he doesn't propose to use it here. In
stead the more genteel course of personal
solicitation will be used. Reward his con-
sideration by making purchase.
THEIR CONSTITUENTS WE'RE IN
deed pleased that state senators passed a
bill outlawing sit-down strikes. Presumably
it wasn't official until that body acted, even
though the United State Supreme Court had
ruled the same way a few days previously.

THEY'RE TAKING THE ALIENS OFF
relief, they can't vote anyway. But the fell
low whose dependents include a gas tank
won't be disturbed. He has voice at the
polls.
LET'S HOPE WE DON'T GET A
strong wind from the northeast until that
stencil turned up by capitol Investigations
has blown away.

HEsNEp1N couSrY,s ACTION
showed the rural districts what they will
have to buck up against and we might as
well prepare our fences right now. Commun-
ism is still an issue and the party must eli
inmate that issue so it can't be used against
them in the next campaign or there won't
be enough farmer-laborites to hold caucus.

IT'S A WONDER YET UNFoLDED
why men, who know just how football

get $50 in cash, $40 in grocery tickets and
$40 in tickets good only for food of which
there is surplus. Neither ticket is good
for tobacco or liquor. 1t looks like prac-
tical plan.-Alexandria Echo.
THE TROUBLE WITH THIS COUN-

fled with what is bad-Chisholm Miner.
