EDITORIAL
LESSON IN DEFEAT

In defeat there is said to be lesson
and IL so, we should take such lesson
from the trouncing, administered to US
BY the Coxburg basketball team last Fri-
day night. Our boys and girls played
fine, clean game and every student is,
in reality, proud of the team. The fault
lies not in the team but in the specta-
tors, the boys and girls, men and
women, who play the game from the
sidelines---those who can throw the
goals, guard the opponents, and execute
the various plays so much more swiftly
and efficiently than can the well-trained,
hard-working regulars. The hitch in
the fence" is that the l.. II. s. student
body is not behind the team, our only
athletic representatives now.
Though many expressed the opinion
that the opposing sector was over en-
thusiastic and too much on the exuber-
ant side, little of that rollicking, be-
lieving spirit would do quite bit to
cheer our players on, to help them play
the game. Instead we students stand by
the team in victory and, either criticize
them harshly or NOPE with them, in
event Of defeat. From Coxburg and her
enthusiastic crowd, let US learn that
more enthusiasm. few more cheerful
outbursts of loyalty and praise, and a
greater portion of faith in our boys
and girls ability would help consid-
erably. Let US take our lesson from de-
fsat--play the game, curb the criticism
and remarks, when they're harmful, and
accept defeat and victory along with the
team, voicing loudly our sincere approval
of their efforts and making known our
loyalty to what they stand for--the
spirit of L. H. s.

Makes Trying ime
for amily Easier
by Thoughtful Aid
Pledges of Service Include Full,
Efficient and Friendly
Assistance

Most every man recognizes
his duty to his family by pro-
viding for their health and
happiness throughout their
life time. And yet, so many
of us give little or no thought
to that one most important
service which must be rend-
cred, when the lifetime of any
member of our family is end
ed.
When we delay our investi-
cation untihnecessity prompts
us, we not only lack the time
to give proper investigation
and consideration to this i'm
portant duty, but the stress
of grief renders us incapable
of exercising our best judy
ment.
A man should have enough
interest in his own welfare
and that of his family to find
out, before necessity arises,
which Funeral Director would
be best qualified to serve him
or any member of his family.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1939-01-19

There are many interesting
aspects pertaining to the
funeral work and we would
welcome the opportunity to
have you visit our establish
ment and avail yourself of
the facts.
The Odlaug & Hoepner
Funeral Service offers to the
Community the following:
Pledges of Service
1. The Best of All.
AS it is the friends we
make, not the money we earn,
that measures our usefulness
to the community, we prize
above everything else the
friendship of those we serve.
Each community has mark
ct places full of substitutes
for quality merchandise and
quality service, but there
never yet has been found a
substitute for Satisfaction.
Our ideal is to render a
quality community service at
a cost within the means of
everyone-the kind of serv-
ice which will receive the ap-
proval of all with whom we
come in contact.
2. About Our Merchandise.
Although the casket is but
one of nearly a hundred items
of service and merchandise
which the modern Funeral
Director must be prepared to
furnish, it is without question
the most important single
item. Naturally the buyer
wishes to get the best that
can be secured for the amount
of money he can afford to
spend. 1t is a part of our
service to explain casket con-
struction and values to help
the buyer make a wise choice.
From the standpoint of ma
terials, workmanship and
style, the casket and all other
goods purchased from this
establishment are the best to
be had for the price. We pur-
chase only from leading re-
sponsible manufacturers and
in carrying a large number of
caskets we make it possible
for the selection to reflect
personality and individual
requirements.
In order to make your sell
ection easier, all our goods
are marked in plain figures
the same price to everyone.
When the funeral details have
been decided upon and the
casket selection made, the
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1939-01-19
family knows exactly what

family knows exactly what
the total cost will be.
3. Our Professional Duty.
There is a professional OBJ
legation upon every Funeral
Director to help and guide his
patrons through life's most
trying period. Through a
wide experience in planning
and conducting funerals, and
a scientific training in the
care of the dead, we have
learned what is best in times
like this.
Our recommendations are
always given in the spirit of
true helpfulness and you may
accept or reject them as your
own feelings dictate. For, as
in the selection of the casket,
the final decision rests with
you. We are always ready to
carry out your wishes.
| Our service does not cease
with your selection of the
casket nor upon completion of
the funeral arrangements.
Our aim is to help and guide
you to the full extent of our
ability-to render a full, eff
cient and friendly service to
to everyone.
| These are the convictions of
John Hoepner-and they form as
earnest and high-minded a theory
Iof activity as might be found any
where.
4 young man, now rising to
permanent prominence in city af-
fairs, Mr.. Hoepner came here in
April 1896 to stay for six weeks.
| He had taken fine arts works at
Colorado college in Colorado
Springs, was a graduate of the
school of embalming at the Uni
versity of Minnesota and had
worked for five. and .one-half
years at a funeral home in St.
Paul. - -. T.. ~ ,'
| Because of his Twin Cities con-
facts among men in the same pro-
fession, he is able to offer inval-
liable service to persons whose re-
latives might die there. In sew
eral cases, persons of this COM
J. munity who were in Minneapolis
or st. Paul with a relative whose
Fdeath occurred, have been con-
tacted by an experienced funeral
director within Is minutes after
they notified Mr.. Hoepner of the
death.
He planned to assist M. J. Cd
Iaug who virtually established the
funeral home here, for a brief
while.
| He stayed on though, and when
| Mr.. Odlaug became ill, he pur-
chased an interest in the place.
Mr.. Odlaug rallied, became active
in the business again and it was
then that Mr.. Hoepner purchased
the entire establishment.
| Mr.. Odlaug died in May 1887,
bu! the firm still bears his name.
1t is Mr.. Hoepner's way of hon.
orlng his memory.

Task Is To Unite
All Races, Says
Mrs. Roosevelt

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Aug. (CNA)
In a direct and unequivocal reply
to the question of a Negro girl,
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife
of the President, told sixty boys
and girls, students from this coun-
try and abroad that the persecu-
ton of the Jews in Germany and
the Negro people in this country
was inherently similar.
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke to the
group of students at the First
Work Camp for Democracy in
West Park, N. Y, opposite Pough-
keepsie, as they swarmed about
her to tell her what they were
learning of democracy. She was
eager to know.
Negroes and Jews are both mino-
rity groups, Mrs. Roosevelt pointed
out in reply to a question whether
there was not a similarity of at
titudes towards Jews in Germany
and the Negro people in the Uni
ted States. The possibility of like
ness in prejudices both groups en-
counter was inherent, whereas the
problem of democracies was to
make all groups work together. the
First Lady declared.

Lynch Bill Fight
Motif To "Smoke
Garner Out

NEW YORK-The continuation
of the fight to pass a federal anti
lynching bill when Congress con-
venes in January, will set the stage
to Smoke Garner out on this is
sue," was the view expressed last
week by the "Periscope," news
analysis section of the Nelos,oeek
magazine.
The complete text of the state
ment follows:
when the perennial anti lynch
ing fight pops up in Congress next
session--as it's sure to do unless
war upsets everything-a new
backstage motive will be involved.
The bills hackers, particularly the
ardent liberals, hope to smoke Gar
ner out on the issue, believing that
any answer he gives will offer a
further. obstacle to his President
ial candidacy.
incidentally. the bill is all but
certain to be brought up and
passed in the house in early Janu-
airy. Then Wagner will immediate
ly push it in the Senate, precipi-
tating another long filibuster."
This department of the NeaDs-
week magazine has become in
creaseingly important to its read
ers because of the high percentage
of accuracy its reports have con-
tanned. Permission to reprint the
statement on the anti-lynching bill
was granted the N. A. A. c. P.
by the magazine.

Annual Drive For
Membership Starts
In NAACP Branch
By j. A. (Jack) johnson
Chairman Membership Comm

The annual membership drive
for the Seattle Branch, National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People will be formally
launched Monday, September 18th,
when authorized solicitors with
proper credentials will begin can
vass of the city. The program of
the NAACP is one which should
appeal to the pride and intelligence
of all who believe in justice for
minority groups, regardless of
race or color. The experiences of
the last two years, following in
the wake of one of the most bru-
tai murders in the states history,
clearly illustrates the value of the
N. A. A. c. P. to society as a
whole. No race loving person who
belongs to minority group, or
humanity loving person of ma
jority group should hesitate to
subscribe to the furtherance of its
work.
The N. A. A. c. p, Seattle
Branch, led the fight to secure the
conviction of three former police
men for the murder of Berry Law
son. What happened to Berry
Lawson, could happen to your boy
or mine, could happen to you or
me. The N. A. A. C. P. is an or
ganization of National scope, dedi-
Gated to the service of any person
whose civil rights are abused. 1t
cannot survive without funds; it
cannot survive without numerical
strength.
Membership in the organization
is one dollar, ($1.00) per year.
Authorized solicitors may be
reached by calling the following:
Capitol 1871, East 1896 and East
1872. A call will bring a solicitor
promptly to your service.
With misery stalking our land,
with world upheavals all around
us and uncertainty the constant
companion of the day, may this
call from the one organization
above all others dedicated to your
protection, be not made in vain.

Liberty and Ellis Island.
By far the largest exhibit in the
transportation zone were those of
the railroads and General Motors.
In the General Motors building,
visitors are seated in moving
chairs from which they observe
a miniature highway of the future
through glass. AS the moving chair
glides along, the highway, a scale
model, winds through mountains,
crosses plains and leads to the me-
tropolis of 1860. Other high spots
of the G. M. building were trans
port automobile, a science show,
and full sized intersection of the
future elevated sidewalks.
Trains, both foreign and domes-
tic were open for inspection at the
railroad track exhibit. Among
them was the Coronation Scot,
British first-class train. Also new
equipment of American Railroads
were featured. In the Aviation
building, air planes are suspended
from the ceiling by cables. In the
Ford building you may have free
ride in a Ford, Lincoln Zephyr or
Mercury. One structure was de-
voted to medicine, another to COM
munications and two of them hou-
sed electric companies-General E.

Westinghouse and r. c. A. gave
