Mrs. Florence Mcclure spent sew
eral days in Fairfax last week, visit
ing at the home of DR.. A. G. Stod-
dard, says the Standard. The lady
was formerly Miss Florence Patten
of Morton. Her husband is we'll
known newspaper man. He was
formerly employed upon the Mime
apolis Journal, but he is now con-
nected with the New York Times,
and Mrs. Mcclure left to join her
husband in New York. During the
past few years a number of the
bright twin city newspaper men
have been called to take positions on
the large New York dailies, and all
have made good" and Mr.. Mcclure
will no doubt come up to the stand
ard of efficiency required.
The failure of the wheat crop in this
section of the state seems to have
had a discouaging effect on many Of
the farmers in this vicinity, for the
auction sales were meyer more nu-
merous than this fall, and many are
contemplating selling their effects
and removing to other localities,
says the Morris Sun. This is to be
deplored, for to the farmer who has
sufficient means to take up diyersi-
fed farming, stock raising, etc.,
and stay here until the country has
passed thru the present crisis, this
county presents very bright pros
poets, and to him who stays,
prosperity will surely come, if he
will do his share to accomplish the
change in farming methods which
alone will place the Stevens county
farmer upon an independent basis.
Gustaf A. Blomberg, Jr., whose
troubles have been widely published
in public prints, was arrested last
week at Billings, Montana, at the
request of Sheriff J. A. Mcmillan.
who left for NORTHUMBERLAND
after wiring instructions to appre-
bend the former clerk of the district
court of Nicollet county. Readers
are familiar with the nature of the
offenses said to have been committed
by Mr.. Blomberg, and it is not
necessary to review his case at this
time. Suffice it to say that when
presentations were made to the last
grand jury, it returned four indict-
ments against the ex-oficial The
exact charges against Mr.. Blomberg
will not be made public until he is
arraigned, but it is reasonable to

The statement in last weeks REDWOOD
GAZE TIE, as to Redwood county leading all
others in first class schools is a little of
color. According to reports handed out at
the state capitol, Redwood county has Sc
first-class rural schools, and second class
rural schools, while Otter Tail county has
So first class and 10 second class rural
schools. The first-class will receive S75
state aid and the second class $50 instead of
1925 and $50 as stated in THE GAZETTE. and
the semi-graded will receive 1915 instead
of S25O.-Vesta Censor.
The GAZETTE makes mistakes oc-
casionally and is always willing to
acknowledge and correct them, bat
this time it is probably correct. The
figures on frst-class rural schools
were furnished by State Superinten-
dent Olson, and the Censor can
easily verify their correctness at the
state capitol The newspaper table
which gave Otter Tail county, with
200 and more schools, credit for Sc
first-class rural schools, was off just
ten points from the official record.
AS to the aid, it is true that the
state appropriation made at the last
legislature was not sufficient to pay
the full amount expected by the
schools, but the state has never in
recent years failed to redeem its
pledges to the schools, and is abund-
antly able to pay the full amount as
soon as the legislature makes the
required appropriation.
