OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS
BRITAIN AND THE REDS
Great Britain has finally succumbed to the lure of the
pound sterling in its attitude toward the soviet government of
Bussia, and the announcement in London that commercial rela-
tions would soon be resumed with the Russians under red rule
will not provoke enthusiasm on the part of peoples who realize
the danger that is involved.
It is useless for the government of Great Britain to attempft
to deceive itself by making any distinction between the resump-
tion of commercial relations and the recognition of the bolshe-
vist regime. It is to be doubted if any considerable number ot
the people of Great Britain are fooled.
Britain, it is understood, stipulates that the bolshevists
shall not carry on their propaganda outside of Russia and prom-
ises that the British will not interfere with the internal affairs of
Russia. This may sound encouraging, but the well known char-
acter of the red leaders is such that few will have confidence
that they will keep their part of the bargain.
Lenine and Trotzky will exploit the arrangement with
Great Britain as a great victory for the soviet government, and
it will be used to fasten the shackles of bolshevism more firmly
upon the Russian people. The agreement, too, comes at a time
when there is reason to believe that the red rule has been seri-
ously weakened from within.
Commercial advantages which Great Britain may gain
over other nations in dealing with the bolshevists will be over-
shadowed by the moral losses which will be sustained, both by
Great Britain and by the world. By entering into trade* rela-
tions with red Russia, Britain has undoubtedly weakened the
cause of Poland, Rumania and other countries which border on
Russia. The promise of the soviet government to stop its propa-
ganda will not be worth the paper on which it is written. In
the end, the apparently laudable purpose of Great Britain to
curb the radicals of Russia will be defeated.
THE LAW OF WAGES
Every employee pays for superintendence and inspection.
Some pay more and some less. That is to say, a dollar-a-day
man would receive two dollars a day, were it not for the fact
that someone has to think for him, look after him, and supply
the will that holds him to his task. The result is that he con-
tributes to the support of those who superintend him.
Make no mistake about this: Incompetence and disin-
clination require supervision, and they pay for itand no one
else does. The less you require looking after, the more able
you are to stand alone and complete your tasks, the greater
your reward. Then, if you cannot only do your own work, but
direct intelligently and effectively the efforts of others, your
reward is in exact ratio, and the higher the intelligence you can
rightly lend, the more invaluable is your life.
The law of wages is as sure and exact in its workings as
the law of standard of life. You can go to the very top. And
going down the scale, you can find men who will not work of
themselves and no one can make them work, and so their lives
are worth nothing, and they are a tax and burden on the com-
munity. Do your work so well that it will require no supervi-
sion, and by doing your own thinking^rou will save the expense
of hiring some one to think for you. Elbert Hubbard.
Grand Rapids Herald-Review thinks it is about time to drop
the subject of changing the name of Grand Rapids. It very
wisely suggests that the citizens of that enterprising northern
city get busy, pull together and proceed to make it a little big-
ger than Grand Rapids, Michigan, the rival that is causing it so
much inconvenience. A fine suggestion, brother, the best of
luck to ^ou.

Probably one reason the Russians have not been in a hurry
to set up a responsible government is that they would be ex-
pected to begin paying their debts.
It is all right to point to the birds as examples of home-
builders, but birds do not have to pay lumber dealers and
plumbers.
There would be fewer divorces if young girls were not in
any more hurry to marry than they are to learn to keep house.
Most of the nations indicate that they are for disarma-
ment, but they do not want to be the first to start it.

The Cat that Didn't Catch the Bird
A large crowd was gathering in a little park in the center of New York
city. What attracted them was a cat stealthily crouching towards an unsus-
pecting little bird. Inch by inch the cat crept nearer and nearer its prey.
Every eye eagerly watched for the fatal spring. Suddenly the cat whirled
round, caught its own tail, and began to bite it vigorouslyapparently for
some good reason. The commotion frightened the bird and it flew away.
I rather think one could, by reflection, find some sort of a moral in this
incident.Forbes Magazine (N. Y.).
If it is true that "California's Teal estate is humping northwards," we
hereby put in a strong claim for the section where Mack Sennett rehearses
his bathing beach scenes. Spooner can have the part where the old farm
and the village church are featured and Warroad is justly entitled to annex
the frontier town stuff. Williams, which is a funny little place, can have
the pie throwers.Baudette Region.
The state commission of prisons of New York reports a decrease of
1,862 prisoners in the first dry year. During this year there was a decrease
of 20,142 commitments.World Digest
