Evil of Too Many Churches.

America has too many churches
Towns which might be well admins
tered spiritually by one clergyman or
two have six, eight or ten. No one OF
the six or more congregations can
pay for a good preacher. Few OF
them can pay all the cost Of any
preacher, however poor. Nor can any
one of them pay for all the time OF
their spiritual leader. So only very
young men are to be had a-d the de
mands upon their time cover SO wide
territory that preaching must be al
most their exclusive occupation ant
pastoral duties be almost entirely dis
regarded. One Of the clergymen OBJ

WANTED TO SEE HIS WEALTH

bio for tho Cashier.
An old negro went to the bank IN
which he kept his hard-earned saw
ings and asked the paying teller to
give him all the money he had de-
posted. He offered no explanation OF
his sudden desire to withdraw his
funds, and after vain argument with
him the teller counted out the bills
and delivered them to the old man.
He eyed the paper money moment
and said:
"Kin git dat in silver, boss?"
The teller assured him he could
and forthwith made the exchange
The old negro retired to a neighbor

long time, and then, to the tellers
great surprise, returned to the win

grinning widely:

Glass that is deeply cut is not easily
dried; the moisture remains In the

dried in a box Of fine lockwood or
Eastwood sawdust (sawdust from

for this purpose). Let the glass stand
half an hour or longer, then remove
from the box, and brush with a SOFT

Before Luncheon Titbit.

Before luncheon small bits Of dried
herring are frequently passed about as
appetizers. When this is done each
guest helps himself to two or three
pieces, places them on his bread and
butter plates and nibbles away as his
fancy pleases. The herring is dry and
understandable to the touch, SO 1t is
picked UP between the fingers. Some
times little Graham biscuit is served
at the same time. and the two together
afford excellent opportunities for nib
bling before the luncheon proper ia
served.

Good Appetizer.

Very large French prunes opened

rice are one of the appetizers now In
vogue. The rice stuffiing Is boiled
long enough to completely lose its
shape and to become soft, somewhat
sticky mass. The curry sauce mixed
through 1t then IL made very hot.
The insides of the largest available
prunes are then removed to afford
space for the filling and are taken and
boiled down into a thick syrup. The
prunes at length are placed on a cir
cular bit of toast, while the syrup is
poured over the whole. 1t is custo
mary to serve this appetizer slightly
warm, two prunes being allotted to
each dish.

To a man ON the rim of things it
looks as though the attempt of the
Tax Commission to secure uniform
ity Of assessments had been a dismal
failure in this county. This refec-
ton is induced by a glance at the
minutes of the county board of
equalization, taken in connection
with the recent struggles of the city
board of equalization to get assess
ments in this city equalized. After
spending several days to even up
merchandise assessments here, the
county board took hand last week
and at one fell swoop lacked up the
valuation of merchandise stocks here
so per cent. Doubtless the board
was influenced by reports that some
of these stocks underwent an i'm
mense shrinkage about the time that
the city board of equalization start
ed in, the larger stock being scaled
down and the smaller allowed to
stand. The increase of so per cent,
will make a lot of kicking, and it
was put through regardless of the
protest of Commissioner Aune, who
will have to take his on a good sized
clothing stock along with other suf-
ferers. Besides merchandise, lum-
Der stocks went up 33s per cent,
and household furniture Is per cent,
while structures on real estate were
reduced 20 per cent.
But Redwood Falls was only one
in forty or more taxation precincts
that had their assessments changed
by the commissioners.
Land valuations as made by the
assessors were increased in Charles
town, Morgan. Three Lakes and
Willow Lakes townships and in the
villages of Belview, Revere, Sanborn
and Walnut Grove, the increase run
ming from Is per cent in Morgan
township to so in Three Lakes and
in Vesta village.
Just as radical changes were or
dered in a number Of personal items
horses being boosted in most of
the precincts from 20 to so per cent

MORTON AND NORTH REDWOOD
E BRIDGES.
Morton Enterprise Six Months Slow in
Reporting January Joint Meeting.

Our Morton contemporary had an
interesting news item last week
about joint agreement made by
the commissioners of Redwood and
Renvllle counties the preceding
week, relating to the Morton and
North Redwood bridge approaches,
with transcript of the proceedings
handed to The Enterprise by Com
missioner Pottswald. Inquiry made
of Commissioner Aune developed
the factthat the proceedings publish
ed by The Enterprise related to a
meeting held last January, no joint
meeting having been held by the
commissioners of the two counties
since last March.
The facts appear to be that the
whole matter has been held up since
the meeting and nothing done on the
approaches, at least by this county,
for the reason that the joint action
was not fully legalized by publica-
ton in Renville county and the board
here have been waiting until that
defect was removed. Matters are
now under way, however, and Com
missioners Aune and McCorquodale
have been given full power by our
county board to proceed with the
letting OF the contract for putting
in permanent approaches on the
Renville side of the Minnesota ac-
cording to the spirit of the action
taken at the joint session of the two
boards last spring.
Messrs. Aune and McCorquodale
made an inspection trip to the Min
nesota bridge approaches opposite
North Redwood last week, and
agreed to go ahead with the work as
soon as the details could be arrang-
ed. 1t appears that there are advo-
Gates for the building Of a bridge
over the bayou in place of the dam
which has proven insufficient of late
years, while others advocate another
and higher dam. The bridge plan
looks best to US, and we presume
will be the one ultimately adopted,
though the commissioners have not
committed themselves as yet on that
proposition.

Colored Keystones Lost the Kew.

Mondays game with the Colored
Keystones of Minneapolis was PLAYED
under the disadvantage of a post
ponement to $50 in the afternoon
when the low evening sun shone al
most level in the batter's eye and
neither side hit the ball very often.
But the wearers Of the blue hit the
most and one of them, Francois.
made record hit over into the
neighboring township, with two
men on bases, letting both in for
safe runs. The locals got a good
start with two scores in the first in
ming, and while the visitors PLAYED
fairly well most of the time, neither
side were at their best. The Gazette
did not secure the score of this
game, except as to the result. which
was 6 to 8 in favor of the home
team. Another game was scheduled
for 4:30 last evening, about the time
this paper went to press.

Editor Bennett on Redwood Falls.

Father Bennett gave a brief &C.
count in the Granite Falls Journal
of the Bennett family reunion in this
city two weeks ago, which Redwood
Falls people will enjoy reading:
ssThe editor Of the Journal and
wife went over to Redwood Falls,
Friday last returning the next after
noon, after a short but most delight
full visit with our children. 1t was
a family reunion, and all the five
sons and daughters were present,
with their children, with the single
exception of Mrs. H. E. Sorlien's
little daughter, which she left at
home. There were nineteen all
told. And while we were together
not bit Of the time was allowed to
go to waste. but all was made the
most Of. Friday evening a most
delightful short outing was had up
the lake. We left the Gold residence
at six o'clock, went up to the park,
three and a half miles. by launch,
had a fine basket picnic supper,
played a game of ball among our
selves and were back at the house
before dark.
Redwood Falls is beautiful
little city and one cannot help enjoy
ing themselves wandering about
viewing the fine business houses,
handsome dwellings and well-kept
lawns.
