AUSTIN, MINI.

Its Material and Social Prosperity.
Austin is one of the fourishing towns Of
Southern Minnesota. The country con-
tributory thereto is unsurpassed IN the
productiveness of its soil and general in
telligence of the people.
Austin being the county seat of Mower
county, 1t necessarily receives large contri-
buttons from the country adjacent thereto.
1t also being quite railroad center,
furnishes competition, hence the highest
market price is paid for all kinds of pro.
ducc, and transportation is secured at
| reasonable rates.
1t is also evident to stranger who
favors himself with the opportunity of
becoming acquainted with the business
men OF the city that there is more than
ordinary push and public spirit among
them. They greet the stranger cordially,
and extend to him the freedom of the
city. Austin is evidently growing city,
and has bright future before 1t. The
citizens are all united in advancing the
general good. The churches are pros
pering. The clergymen are eloquent ex-
ponents of their several creeds and doc
trines. The public schools are in -four
ishing condition. The temple of justice
is an ornament to the city. The bar is
| ably represented; the medical fraternity
stand high in their profession. The
Press, the TRANSCRIPT and Register, are
live papers, and keep carefully in view
the best interests of Mower county, and
Austin in particular. Press.

c. D. pELDEN, rDnoR.

Supt. Belden was visiting schools last
week in Waltham, Lansing and Austin.
The Spring State Teachers Institute
for Mower county, will be held in the
city of Austin, commencing Monday,
April 10Th.
So many inquiries are made in regard
| to legal and school holidays, that we re-
print the following recent decision of
the Attorney General:
Attorney General Hahn, in reply to
Superintendent Kiehle. holds that there
| is but one legal holiday recognized by
the legislature-Feb. %. But there are
certain other days which have been &C.
knowledged by immemorial usage and
generally considered as holidays, such
as Thanksgiving, Christmas and July 4.
Respect to the President and the
Governor as to the first: the observance
of the second by all Christian people,
| and the fact that the last is hallowed by
the whole nation as the anniversary of
| independence would seem to require that
all public schools be closed on these days.
Other days might be named on which
decent usages recognize the propriety
and which should therefore be included
in this class OF course there is moth
ing to prevent the trustees of a school
district STIMULATING that teacher shall
| hold school on any or all of these days,
or that deduction shall be made by
reason of the schools being excused
tor such days; but in the absence of such
agreement the attorney general holds
that the district is liable to the teacher
for such days the same as If school had
been regularly held. The supreme court
of the United States $50 Mich, 4S0) fol-
lows this ruling.

Ever since Tuesday of last week our
streets have been in darkness, owing to
the electric light not being turned on
the reason of this is the company
is under the impression that they have
given the city sufficient free light for
the Council to judge of its success and
usefulness and TO push them into
adopting the light and making Il con-
tract for the same. This is all right,
but the REFLECTOR is pleased to see
the Council acting slowly i'll this mat
ter, for while the light is a good thing,
1t is certainly not best TO jump into a
contract which might cripple the city
financially for all time to come. We
would be pleased to see our streets
lighted but do not want it if it is to
cost us from three to four times the
amount that it cost other cities. The
company we understand wants the
CITY to contract for one hundred lights
at 500 light per year. Now this is
entirely too much and if cheaper rates
cannot be secured then let the council
let the light go by the board, for to
cripple the city with an eXhorbitant
tax just to put on little style, is not
wise and is not the way to keep pros
porous and booming city booming. Let
the Council study the matter carefully.

The first lodge Of the Independent
Order of Odd fellows in America was
instituted April 26, 1919, in the house
of William Lupton, at Baltimore, by
Thomas Wilday who had been member
of Lodge II of the city of London,
England. The first American lodge
was named Washington No. l and its
membership at first mere handful.
The order however grew rapidly, and
between 1919 and 1861 it gathered in
to its fold by initiation nearly 100000
members. At the present time it has
a membership of nearly 100000. Its
revenue has amounted to over twenty
millions of dollars; Its ordinary expenses
have amounted to 100000; it has ap-
lied tothe relief of the sick and the burial
of the dead and the education of the
orphan no less than $S,0O0,0O0 and it
has still a balance of Az. 900 to be
applied to the same objects. The funds
thus employed have relieved sos, O60
members and 81 ,567 widowed families.
The total relief paid out by the order
from 1880 TO December 1855 was 1885,
