I own busineSs If you are to hate Hftler, hate gliso prhe King of Eng land is the Lord of the seas", with it's Duff do0per, Churchill and the Rothschilds who control England and France,
 what dld we get for helping the Allies the lost Whf2 Unpaid debts thousands or dead and mangled bodies of sQldiers, bigger and bot. tor dcpressiQfis and 46 billion dollar national debb. Ana here is some. thing to top oifF the gratitude Eng land and France has for Us In help- Ing them win the last war. %
 We all know that England and France were the first to repudiate their war debt to the U. s. over Il billion dpilhrg.f A ts g.
 Tho following will win the Blue Ribbon Prize tor all-time,
 "Wh0il our BQldiers began land- Ing on French soil, the French gov- ernment made ts pay duty on every can of beans, on all food, on all war Supplies, which were being shipped to FrancA to BaVes Democracy for 50 million Erenchmen.
 When the war came to ar end, the FEeii0h- government tried to ifn- pose another duty on the same food and supplies which were left over before allowing us. to bring them back home. When it came time to send. American .Aoldiers across the Atlantic, the Allies furnished some of the necessary boats, but they charged us an average of Si00 for every solder they transported Des- pite the tremendous credit we ex- tended to Frhhce during the war, the French government exacted payment from our government for the damage incurred by France for the trenches which the Americans soldiers dug, and for the property destroyed by. the exploding of American sheiiy." While In France our soldiers dredged their harbor, built docks and erected thousands of miles Of telephone and telegraph Iines--all of which remained aS per- ifianert Improvements to the cotin- try! And to top 1t nil-and I am quoting from the New York Times, Septembey, 24, 1889 "Under French Law A concession fee becomes due on. each grave of an American soldier every IS years. When the first time limit expired following the World War it developed that the bodies of American soldiers were to be exhumed and burnt in lime pits unless the fees were paid.r That's gratitude Americans rec ceived for having gone to war to help France save Democracy.
 Fellow Americans I am writing this not because I am in favor of Nazisn and Hitler, but to warn what we can expect If we 60 oyer again. Let us remember George Washington. No foreign entangle- ments. Let Europe settle it's own quarrels, our business Is to put 10 million unemployed back to work at Q living annual wage.
 War will only bring dictatorship. look what happened to England last week, complete dictatorship, we can expect the same if we go to war. Did you ever hear of M. Day?
 We can only clean out all Isms when we get rid of the biggest bth column the world has ever known. when VIC put our 10 million back to work, then and only then, Amer icanism will prevail.

Dear DR.. Budik:
During the year of 1889, Red

time pointed with pride to the
growth and development Of this
community. At seventy-five
years of age, we could rightful-
ly congratulate ourselves and
say, wen lone.
Ever mindful that a commun-
ity cannot remain stationary by
resting on its laurels, nor being
DESTROYS Of doing so, 1899 prov
ed to be a year in which COM
placent retrospection played on
ly a very minor role in the
years activity.
Good government and bust
ness growth in many ways DOM
mated 1889 in Redwood Falls.
Under your administration we
have been successful in locating
the Social Security Office and
the Census Bureau in Redwood
Falls; the Coco-Cola Company
will be building a distributing
plant here within few months.
These are but a few of the many
business adVancementS made
during the Last year. To attain
these detectives, it required not
only alertneSS but time and eff
fort voluntarily given by you.
Redwood Falls has been the for
tunate beneficiary of your SER
vices. The Civic & Commerce
association has and does apprec-
late those services rendered and
we take this means of congrat-
ulating you and saying to you,
"Well Done"
Yours very truly,
