PROPAGANDA is NOT ONLY A

PROPAGANDA is NOT ONLY A
powerful weapon of war lords but the stock
in-trade of politicians. America wlH read
and hear more of lit as the presidential year
rolls around.
Here are two good examples: john
Hamilton's yelp, 1.-The president is trying to
dictate to the Republican party after ut
was reported in the press that someone sug-
gested to the chief executive that both par
ty conventions should be held month or six
weeks later than usual this year because of
the war in Europe and the wisdom of the
best possible semblanee of national unity.
Congressman Harold Knutson's THE
Roosevelt administration cannot escape a
share of the responsibility OF Finland's
plight" basing this allegation ON the unfor-
tunate but certainly disassociated recogni-
ton of Russia by America six years ago.

IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANY BACK
ratting lately, and most of us do let oursel-
YES get terribly out of practice, toss a few
bouquets in the direction of Mayor j. c..
Budik for his work on Gilwood Haven, the
census bureau, the social security office the
new charter, the NYA school and several
other projects in which he was aided and
abetted by various councimen, county COM
missoners and C and C committees but fur
IllSLeu 1lSCeSSdIy SPARK. L is no aCCl-
dent that the year 1889 has been one of con-
siderable progress in Redwood Falls.
A SURVEY BY THE MINNEAPOLIS
Civic and Commerce association revealed
that Illinois, North Dakota, Iowa, Canada
and Wisconsin are our best tourist custom
ers. Out here we see mostly Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas and Missouri cars in the summer and
would see many more if concrete route
from the south border to the lakes was pro-
vided. The southwestern border shouldn't
be the states back door.
THE WPA WRITER'S PROJECT HAS
discovered a Minnesota restaurant man who
had ideas about credit and advertising back
IN the l850s. His ad read: cash customers
are allowed to sit at the table Is minutes
after eating, credit customers whose notes
draw five per cent month"; ten minutes af-
ter eating and credit customers who have
book accounts, only long enough to pick
their teeth
COACH ANDERSON OF IOWA MAY
have been bit unethical, the Window Cit
lien thinks, in inviting certain high school
grid stars to his games. If so, he isn't alone
in the practice, Boy Scout troops and whole
high school squads have been getting free
tickets to Minnesota games for years, also
with an eye to the future
MAYOR LaGUARDIA EXAMINED
New York's budget, found the city spends
hundreds of thousands annually to remove
used gum from parking places and asked the
manufacturers to print advice as to its
eventual disposal on the wrappers. Perhaps
they could establish trade-in allowance?
IT'S SURPRISING, BUT IN ALL THE
badgerlng OF the president to find out wheth-
er or not he will seek third term, no one
has suggested that he may not have made
up his mind. 1t is more than six months be-
fore the national conventions Much can
happen.
