REDWOOD FALLS APPROACHES

its seventy-ffth birthday party, now only
bit over three weeks away, with rising en-
thuSiaSm. Where some citizens were du-
bious about a large scale celebration when
1t was months away, recently committees
have received considerable encouragement to
Ego all the way in making the event out
standing.
Every effort will be made to provide
entertainment for everyone, the committee
recognizing that while many guests will be
homecomers, happy with picnics and visit
ing, the larger group from the surrounding
territory will expect more exciting entertain
ment.
Sundays plans are in keeping with the
day, church activities, picnics and sports
giving way in the evening to the address by
Governor Stassen and the showing of the
pageant, "Redwood's Parade of Progress"
Monday will be the big day, marked by the
first passing of the huge parade and numer-
Gus sports events additional to Sundays
program. Tuesdays parade will tie the
celebration in with the Redwood county
fair which continues during the last three
days of the event.
In the selection of dates and arrange
ment of program details, the committee has
been mindful of the community nature
of the event. Teams and bands from nearby
towns occupy places on the program and
floats for the parade are welcome and will
be entered by several nearby cities.
The preliminary work of staging the
event has been done, thoughtfully and will
ingly, by those entrusted with the task.
From now on success depends not upon the
few who are in a general way responsible
but on the hundreds whose duties are de-
finite and necessary and which if left undone,
will n Ln,,I
mark. There is no substitute, if we are to
have a successful celebration, for good hard
work on the part of everyone from now UNI
til the affair is over.
NORTH DAKOTA VOTERS REJECT
ed last week by vote of six to one Bill
Langers proposals of gross income tax,
state liquor stores, holiday in highway
building, ETC., to raise funds for $40 old
folks pension. North Dakota is strictly a
farming state, and farming has been done
at a loss for a number of years in most of
the state, so that the $50 pension now paid
has been liberal, considering the financial
condition of most of its citizens. $40 pen
sions (raiSed by such strenuous means)
seemed out of proportion to large majority
of the voters. North Dakota has sales tax,
and that probably was felt to a burden

NOW IF THE STATE COULD JUST
set up an agency that would effect salts
factory Cancellation of the market prices of
farm products, and another conciliator that
would keep the tax collector in his place,
everyone could be happy.-Morris Tribune.

lana state university disappeared with half
a million dollars through invalid university
notes. He is evidently well qualified to give
course in high finance.-Red Lake Gazette.
