The public schools and banks OBJ
served Washington's birthday in this

the pussy willows kedt open all day.
Down in North Redwood there is
a machinery firm that is reaching
out all over Redwood and Renville
counties for business. The firm of
Farrell & Keefe has been unusually
successful in putting out machinery,
and inasmuch as their lines are Of
the standard kind, and inviting to
the people who use machinery, and
their prices as low as the lowest,
the members are observing their
business grow with remarkable RAJ
pidity.
1t has been a little over year
ago that F. w. Manthey opened his
steam laundry in this city, and at
I that time he was cautioned against
the enterprise on the ground that
he could not compete with the China
man. So great has been the in
crease in Mr.. Manthey's business,
however, that he has ordered extra
machinery to do the work, and he
authorizes THE GAZETTE to state
that the plant is a successful one
and that he is here to stay.
The work of hauling rock for the
new building to be erected by Apitz,
the tailor, has already commenced
and work on the structure itself will
commence as soon as the weather
warrants. Mr.. Apitz's offer of S15
tailor made suits for men has Gre
ated quite a sensation and orders
have been coming in SO rapidly since
the announcement was made that
he will have to employ a large force
of assistants in order to keep ur
the work. During the time that
his new building is in process OF
construction he will occupy the
Crouley building just west OF
Lauterbach's harness shop, on Sec
ond street. Mr.. Apitz desires tc
state that his SIS proposition is oper
to all, and he invites the orders
from farmers as we'll as city resi-
dents, from the young man as wei
as the old. Tailor-made clothes are
cheaper than store-goods now.
What's the matter with the storh
and the city of Redwood Falls? Ac
cording to the report of births anc
deaths during 1905, published in this
paper last week, there were only
q births and 13 deaths, or only
about so per cent. increase. TWEEN
ty-seven births during a year in the
city of Redwood Falls is about the
best evidence that we know of fol
race suicide in this town. There are
too many bachelors around, or toe
many people who are afraid to have
children, or feel that they owe moth
ing to posterity in the production
OF children. In the same report the
township of Granite Falls was giver
50 births to only 9 deaths, and the
population of the township is les
than one-third of that of this city
Vail township reported 26 births, Oh
one less than Redwood Falls city
while Johnsonville sent in "a, New
Avon q, Willow Lake q, Three
Lakes and Waterbury 20, and SO OF
down the list, every precinct in the
county doing better than this city
when the population is considered
Unless the stork gets busy we mus
expect that we are going to trai
behind in the 1910 census.
