REDWOOD FALLS
FOR HOMES
Home-Makers in Council Last
Friday Night Suggest
A Few Facts.
Let the Ladies Draw the Plans
and Their Silent Part
ners the Checks.

! Several new families have moved
/ into the city during the past few
weeks and several more have en-
gagged houses and are coming. We
have heard of at least dozen more
who would come but are unable to
find any vacant dwellings. Every
thing is filled up and a number more
houses could be rented if available.
1t has paid to make Redwood Falls a
clean and attractive town. When
/ the city dads compelled US to tear up
sidewalks last year and the one be-
fore, some of which were not at all
bad, the expense did seem almost
confscation to some of US. But at a
time when many other towns are
complaining of dull times Redwood
is going ahead nicely. Our seasons
have been as discouraging as have
| been the season of our neigh
bors and we have had no advantage
that they have not had. Its the
ver-give-up spirit of our business
men that have kept the town steadi-
ly on the up grade After the cam
paign is over and politics are once
more to the background we intend
to give considerable attention to the
men who have made good'' in Red
wood Falls. No city ever had a finer
class Of business hustIers than we
can boast of right here and as they
won't toot their horn we propose to
toot it little for them in coming
months. So keep your eye on The
Gazette after election if you want to
know who are delivering the goods
in this town.
In a general way and without any
particular bouquets we might as
we'll say that one thing that is no.
ticible in this town is the attention
that is paid by our merchants to the
display windows. There is not a
town of less than four times our
size that can beat US and mighty
few who equal us in attractiveness
of store fronts. Strangers invariably
comment on this evidence of progress
siveness among our merchants. The
editor has to hang on to his pocket
to keep the mighty little that is in
side of it from getting away every
time he walks down town.
Good sidewalks, good public build
ings, streets always in condition for
teaming and artistic store displays
make any fellow looking around for
a home feel like trying it awhile
here.
Mr.. Peterson at the civic improve
ment meeting the other evening ex-
planned that the funds at the dispos-
al of the park board were limited.
Many of US think that the board did
a wise thing in aiding to keep up our
really frst-class band. Redwood
looks pretty good on an evening
with the band playing in the center
of town and everybody out for a
short walk and visit on the streets.
The enterprise of the park board is
responsible for this charming fea-
ture of last summer. The band con-
Icerts gave the children something to
listen to before curfew and brought
their elders out to listen with them.
Splendid thing for any town when
young and old find their enjoyment
together.
i At the risk of stirring the sisters
up and getting into more trouble
the reporter thinks that the least
amount of red tape in connection
| with the Civic Improvement society,
the better. It won't cut much figure
just how you organize, the mair
thing being to get organized so as tc
something. As one we would rather
have the iadies run the thing. just
