The Golden Rule is the only
rule that will bring prosperity to
everybody.
Iii we keep the Holy day holy
the character of our nation will
not deteri0rate.
1t is very difficult for a Cody
soul to be neutral on a moral
question.
The little sins men refuse to
give up build great walls between
them and God.
The reason many young folks
choose the wrong road is because
so many older ones are leading the

THIS is AN INDEPENDENCE DAY

Declaration of Dependence:
My hat is off to all the men and women
everywhere upon whom | depend for life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness;
To miners risking their lives in the deep
dark dungeons beneath the earth;
To air-mail pilots soaring over noun
tain peaks
To movie actors, circus clowns and sing
ers of Grand Opera;
To research experts fighting death and
conquering new frontiers in the battle with
disease;
TO diggers of bitches and climbers of
telephone poles;
To farmers toiling beneath blazing
sun;
To sports announcers and baseball play
erS;
To policemen, G-Men and fire fighters;
To the faithful postman making his
daily rounds;
To the barber who cuts my hair;
TO the tailor who makes my clothes;
To the milkman making his deliveries
in wee small hours of the morning;
To writers of poems and spinners of
yarns;
To radio entertainers (crooners excud-
eD;
To the builders of highways;
TO painters, garage men, electricians
and plumbers;
To physicists and physicians, chemists
and carpenters;
To street cleaners, coal men, good cooks
and prophets
To butchers, bakers and candlestick
makers;
To all the thinkers and doors who
create the magic modern world in which
live, give my eternal gratitude.
But for them I would be as. helpless as
Robinson Crusoe on his deserted island;
l would be naked outcast in wilder
ness of confusion;
No man is independent! We go riding
through life on the shoulders of others;
So this is my Declaration of Depend
ence. -Wilferd Peterson.

Order Arrest of
Drivers Passing On
New "White Lines"

Confident that motorists, in all
regions where the new "white
lines" have been placed and
marked to indicate mo passing
zones, have had ample time to
understand their meaning, state
highway patrolmen have orders to
arrest those motorists who refuse
to abide by them.
On two-lane highways, whether
on curves, or approaches to hill
crests, the presence of white
line on the drivers side of the
center line simply means that he
cannot pass, or cross the center
line in an attempt to pass a
vehicle ahead until the white line
on his side of the center stripe
has terminated.
On three-lane highways a
white, line painted diagonally
across the center lane and con-
tinuing along the right hand edge
of that center lane means that a
motorist travelling on that side of
the highway is forbidden to use
the center lane for passing until
the white line on his side is ter
minated.
The secret of success is in being
ones own most merciless critic.

RESISTANCE TO CHANGE IN RAM
sey park among local persons is due largely
to the fact that wa were proud of the park
as it was. While buildings and bridges there
have never been adequate and better toilet
facilities, lights and swimming pool are
badly needed, these improvement might be
accomplished without radical changes in the
uses to which park areas are put
There is no shortage around Redwood
Falls of real wilds available to hikers and
much such land is adjacent to Ramsey park.
On the other hand it is not uncommon to
find picnic areas of the park congested and
tit is reasonable to assume that they will
be used more when facilities are improved
and grass restored as the state park board
very wisely contempiates. AS to the Wis
dom, therefore, of closing a large area of
the park to automobile traffic and requir-
ing persons going there to travel foot or
bride paths-horses not furnished-there
| is doubt. The places in question are now
much used by picnckers.
The argument that it is a state and not
a city park and should be improved with
that in mind does not furnish justification
for the change. Certainly few park visitors
| from away come to hike or ride horseback.
There is no lack of appreciation for the
improvements being made nor do Redwood
Falls citizens presume to exercise any con-
troll over park activities. 1t would be strange
indeed if We did not take an active interest,
and feel asking our advice on some subjects
would be good politics." even if the advice
did not prove valuable.

Advances in Sales
Steady Gains Noted
In First Half Year

Climbing nearly 20 points during

broke out in the grain pits today,
tumbling corn values approximately
3 cents a bushel to the lowest level
in more than six years and drop
ping wheat more than 2 cents to
lows unequaled since late last year.
Most of the selling apparently
came as a result of early fractional

number of stop-loss orders. The
prospective large domestic corn
crop, start of the spring wheat
movement and establishment of all

at Liverpool were bearish factors
in the trade
