Dear Mr.. Schoen, ... go
The pupils of District So and
myself wish to take this oppor-
tunity to thank you for your in
teresting and thorough explana-
ton of the process of editing a
paper, which you gave us last Fri
day while on our tour of Red
wood Falls. We all have enjoyed
reading The Gazette previously,
but until now little realized the
planning, organization, and accur-
acy it requires to edit such a
paper. ..
We also wish to thank others
who so graciously explained the
work carried on in their offices,
departments and business places.
They are as follows: Mr.. c. D.
Clipfell, who SO kindly acted as
our guide while visiting the court
house, the. buttermaker Of the
Gandrud Creamery, the postmast-
er, the Jail keeper, the operator Of
station KIND, the depot agent,
the county officers at the court
house, the cashier of the Citizens
State Bank the employees at the
electric power plant, the pro-
prietor of the greenhouse and the
county committee at the AAA Of
fee. -, 49,
My pupils and I feel that such a
days tour is far more educational
than weeks diligent study from
text books. We unanimously
agreed that this trip will be of
great help to us in our school
work.
Yours truly,
Elaine Rave ling.

DEAR EDITOR:

I am distressed.
My children have spent many
happy hours watching the animals
in the zoo at Ramsey state park
and I have observed that even
when traffic is light in the park,
the cages are surrounded by
groups of interested and enter
tanned cliildren-and their older
relatives, too.
All of our animals are like
household pets to Waldo Marsh
and are treated with the same
care and kindness. So I cannot
believe that they will have more
humane consideration wherever
they are moved.
1t is shame that a source of so
much pleasure should be denied
the people Of Redwood Falls, the
surrounding communities and
farms. This small zoo represents
to us what the larger ZOOS mean
to centers like Chicago and New
York and gives our children
chance for nature study that
they could not otherwise have.
If it is question of more suit
able quarters, / protest that a
small percentage of the money
spent for park roads and bridges
might be used for better housing
for the animals-and add to the
pleasure and education of our
children, who very soon will not
otherwise recognize coyotes, bad
gers, raccoons and monkeys.
Is it possible that we are being
penalized since a delegation of
Redwood Falls men protested and
successfully defeated the proposal
to charge % cents to visitors at
the park?
It appears to this humble tax
payer that our park has been con-
sistently Disseminated against
since that time.
VIII someone please quote the
law requiring running water and
steam heat in the animals quart
ers?

REDWOOD FALLS COMPLAINTS ON

REDWOOD FALLS COMPLAINTS ON
: the reconstruction of Ramsey State park
have been so frequent and heated and have
been followed by such polite assurances OF
future cooperation from state officials that
the whole thing boils down to this:
WE CAN KICK BUT THEY'LL Do
EXACTLY AS THEY PLEASE.
The decision to abandon the zoo and
dispose of the animals is typical, although
in fairness to the state department it must
be admitted that this matter was discussed
with local park board members. They have
rarely been consulted in recent years.
The ZOO was built in 1884 at a cost OF
$3.50. 1t hasn't steam heat or running
water, as it is now contended it should have,
but neither is it Anticipated or in any sense
an eyesore Such smells as exist at all ZOOS
are present there but certainly not to the
point of being a nuisance. We have never
seen the place unclean and the animals are
on such friendly terms with their keeper
that the argument is defeated that they suf-
fer any privation by reason of being con-
fined.
There certainly is little doubt about the
zoo, small as it is, being one of the park
important attractions. Few people go there
without looking over the collection of ami
mails It is the highight of the visit for the
children, who watch them by the hour.
The animals were brought here at no
expense to the state and their care has en-
tailed no expense, so their removal is not an
economy measure.
AS to the real reason behind the action,
your guess is as good as ours.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE TALK ABOUT
the careless view taken by many persons
toward plunging into debt, the Indifferent
attitude toward meeting obligations. Here's
one reason:
In 1934-35 the federal government
made drouth relief loans in this state
amounting to $6,683, 900. Of this amount,
$1,O84,00O has been repaid by farmers who
appreciated the lift given them by a sym
pathetic government, treated the loans as
they might have one made by friend or a
commercial loan institution.
s The balance, 1873 per cent Of the total,
is delinquent. Some no doubt can't pay,
many more won't if they can get out of it
they feel the fellow who did pay was a
sucker.
Now comes bill, introduced by our own
congressman, which really makes sucker Of
the fellow who paid. If passed, it wipes the
slate clean for the deinquents, worthy and
unworthy alike.
y. PLEASANT THOUGHT FOR PUB
fishers: More daily newspapers died in 1889
than in any previous year since the Civil
war; Radio crooners, silly serials and no.
body-aughS- but me- comedians broke them.

WHAT'S ALL THIS FUSS ABOU

WHAT'S ALL THIS FUSS ABOUT
the personal income questions in the census
takers manual?
The government already exacts report
on income from those who get very much.
1t has on file the figures on direct relief con-
tributions and wages paid to WPA employ
ees. It's own payroll bulks large in the ma
tional income-or outgo-and those figures
are a matter of record. The social security
board has cards for every wage Garner in
the country in covered" employment, which
further reduces the field on which the gov
eminent hasn't full knowledge already. 1t
knows how much it is paying farmers and
pretty much what they are raising on the
rest of their land, even in cases where they
don't get into the income tax picture.
Who's left? We can think of the farm
hands and domestic employees, neither OF
whom are usually touchy about income ques-
tions or particularly active politically.
Otherwise the government isn't asking
anything it doesn't know or can't estimate
from figures on hand if it wanted to go to
the trouble. -.
-
LESS THAN ONE PER CENT OF THE
business failures in America are due to neg
lect of business, according to a United States
Chamber of Commerce survey, which places
the percentage due to unWise granting OF
credit at 81 per cent and to competition at
3.9 per cent.
That virtually eliminates the three haz-
ards generally considerd as serious by bust
ness men.
Lack of capital causes 37.2 per cent of
the retail fold-ups while 31.4 per cent are
due to incompetence and another 40 per cent
to inexperience, a related factor. Fires,
floods and other disasters eliminate 1876 per
cent while IL per cent are victims of fraud
and about half of one per cent are guilty
of personal extravaganza.
D
A READER CONTRIBUTES THIS
thought: By strange coincidence, men
elected to the presidency every twentieth
year beginning in 1910 have died in office:
William Harrison, elected in 1910; Abra-
ham Lincoln, elected in 1860; James A. Gar
field in 1880; William Mckinley, in 1900 and
Warren G. Harding, in 1920.
Today's candidates, however, aren't
superstitious. In fact the political woods are
full of men who are just dying to be NOM
mated.
THE STATE HIGHWAY PATROL is
pulling no punches in it's efforts to make the
highways safe for motorists. January ar
rests this year totaled 72O compared with
293 during the month last year. Excessive
speed careless driving, running through
stop signs passing in "no-passing" zones
and improper equipment bulked large in the
total.

1 100000 German Troops, Nearly 1000 Tanks Are
Making Smashing Attack in Reims Sector;
Threat to Paris Is Growing

Tours, France, June l3-(UP) -
The Germans struck at Paris to-
day from the north toward the st..
Denis suburb, only Is miles away,
and at the same time threw 1900
to 1000 tanks into an attack In the
Reims sector, to the east, In an at
empt to cut off the main France
armies from the Maginot line and
encircle Paris from the eastern side.
Acute was the threat to Paris,
with Germans driving on 1t from
northwest, north and northeast, the
new threat toward Reins was con-
sidered the gravest In the whole
long battle line from the channel
coast to the Argonne forest. To
meet 1t, Gen. Maxine Weygand Or
dered an eight-mile withdrawal Of
his Champagne line from the Reth-
el-Attigny sector to Juniville, on the
little Retourne River northeast OF
Reiins.
The withdrawal was intended to
straighten the French line and. BY
relieving pressure on 1t, TO thwart
the German threat to cut the main
armies entirely from the fortified
Maginot line on the east.
Immense Nazl Armies
A war office spokesman said that
the Germans now had thrown 100
divisions Of infantry, some 100000
men, into the battle which was In
