Where Are the Children?

Removal to other states, race sui

help are some of the reasons as
signed by county superintendent
for..the decrease in the public school
enrolment of the state. AS pointed

have been received in nearly every
case. Most Of them place the blame
on emigration to other states and to
Canada. Many say the scarcity of
farm labor compels the keeping of
the older children at home. Several

Belview Independent: At least
two men have already sifinifed their
intention of contesting for the NOM
nation for county treasurer on the
Republican ticket. Messrs. Neuen-
burg and Haag, both of Granite
Rock township, and it is understood
that Nick Hunter of Redwood Falls
will soon enter the contest, which
insures lively field. From the fact
that Mr.. Hunter made a magnificent
run in the last campaign and is
probably the best known man in the
bunch we should say that he would
prove the strongest candidate of the
trio, although both the men haye
many friends.

County nominations before the
people appear to be coming in early
this year, since the announcement
of A. D. McRae's candidacy for reg
lister of deeds. A number OF our
county papers having already men,
toned very kindly the fact that N.
V. R. Hunter of this city looked
good as a candidate for county
treasurer, THE GAZETTE is justified
in saying for the people of Redwood
Falls that they are more interested
in the success Of Mr.. Hunter as a
candidate than that of any other
person. After more than Is years
residence here, Mr.. Hunter has
demonstrated that he is absolutely
safe and every way competent to fill
any clerical Office in the court house,
and we believe we are justified in
saying that he will have the solid
support of his home town and some
other towns where his sterling quail
ties are known.

Thoses Cheap Sewing Machines.

A travelling sewing machine agent
did a nice business among Mcleod
county towspeople and farmers last
summer, according to the Hutchin-
son Leader. He offered a tempting
bait by taking old machines, and
make and allowing good price on
them in exchange for new, and
many could not understand how he
could afford so apparently liberal a
proposition. AS he was about to
leave, and in a burst of confidence,
he gave the snap away to an ac-
quaintance. It's this way" he said.
my company sells every one Of
those secondhand machines to a
Chicago catalog house which cleans
them up, repairs them a little, re-
varnishes the wood work and fills
orders with them as new machines. "
The editor of the Leader has
known of this incident for some
time and is prepared to verify it
now but has not put it in print for
fear it might hurt the feelings of
some friend of the catalog houses.
But since one of these secondhand
sewing machines has been received
in Hutchinson on which the refnish-
ing was so poorly done that the
customer wouldn't stand for it and
fired the old thing back to the cata-
log house, the joke is too good to
keep.

Hard on! Creameries.

The newspapers throughout the
state are pleading long and earnest
" with the farmers to stand by the
home crearneries. They are pre-
senting arguments based upon facts
and figures, but in spite of all they
can do the creameries are receiving
scant patronage. The LeSueur News
says anent this subject:
The creamery is going fast. You
may talk to the farmers of your
vicinity and learn this. You can do
so right here at LeSueur.
The Capitalization of creameries
and the shipping of milk and cream
is turning the trick. The farmers
who give away to the plan will live
to regret it if the same thing is
true in this line that it is all through
life. We refer to what happens
after the competition is wiped out.
Stop and think, for a moment. All
summer when milk and cream was
plentiful your home creamery was
able to compete with the city house,
was it not? Now when the pastures
are turning brown and feed is very
high the city house pays up notch
and is patronized. What is the re-
suit? The profit, if any of the sum-
mer must be thrown away because
the patronage will not pay the ex-
pense of operation. Later your
creamery will shut down for the
winter months. as many have, and
then learn they cannot secure a
competent.buttermakera for short
time in the summer. Finally the
home creamery quits. Dies for
want,of patronage. Then what hap
pens?

LOCAL CLUB
DEFEATS CARSON

The members of the Gardnerville
Gun Club went to Carson last Sun
day and after a hard fought battle
succeeded in wrestling the laurels
from the Carson Club. Both teams
were minus some of their best men
but were very evenly matched. The
first contest resulted in a tie, but
in the second contest the Gardner
vile boys downed eleven more blue
rocks than their opponents. The
local team was composed of the
following men:
Leo. Springmeyer, E. G. Carr,
Clarence Dangberg, James Carr,
Ed. Springmeyer, Henry Rosen-
brock, Hugh Heitman.
The local team will participate
in the shoot which is to be held in
Carson on the Fourth of July in
which teams from different parts
of the State will take part. We
hope our boys will land the prize.

Names Cause Trouble.

A man by the name of Rihle
arrived in the Valley a few days
ago and found employment on one
of the ranches. He sent to Reno
for his trunk which was at the
baggage room of the depot and in
a few days a trunk turned up but
was not his. Sunday a man arriv-
ed and with the aid of the constable
went to the ranch to gain possession
of what he claimed was his trunk.
Rihel gave the trunk over without
trouble. 1t seems that in the close
resemblance of of names the agent
got the trunks mixed. Rihle and
Rible are the two names.

PURCHASE RANCH
IN CHURCHILL

The we'll known stockmen. Fran
els and James Ezell, came up from
their big ranch near Gardnerville
last Friday, remained over Sunday
and on Tuesday closed a deal with
former Lieutenant Governor Allen,
the present district attorney of
Churchill county, whereby they ac-
quired the ownership of the splen-
did Allen ranch consisting of 1890
acres, about four miles southwest
of town. The price paid was $50 an
acre, making a total of 10000.
In addition to this they purchased
Il quantity of stock.
1t is the intention OF the Messrs
Ezell to convert the property into
a big stock ranch, which will be
practically duplicate of that at
Gardnerville. The latter is consid
cred one of the finest properties in
that section and the brothers
recently refused $4,000 for
their holdings. They will take pos
session of the Allen place on jan
uary |. The sale was consummated
through the efforts OF Deputy Dis
trict Attorney p. N. Packard who
is an old friend of the Ezell bro
thers.
The price paid for the property
is pretty complete evidence that
the price of real estate in and
