When Marion Johnson was in Can
ada he found crops very good and is
assured by letters from there that
on the eve of harvest nothing has
changed the wheat prospects. Mar
ion admits that Redwood beats them
on corn.
j. j. Moore of Ames, Iowa, has
been looking over Redwood and its
farms the past few days. Mr..
Moore is very enthusiastic over the
corn crop about here and is delight
ed with the city. 1t is probable
that ere long he may be citizen in
or near town.
j. P. Cooper returned from Lis
bon last week, leaving Mrs. Cooper
with their daughter 1t was coin
cidence but on Sunday, Aug. 14th
Mr.. Cooper was standing by the
open grave of his grand child and
one week later at the same hour
was reverent spectator at the
grave Of Miss Curtis.
We omitted last week to give
Johnny Klaus credit for an artistic
piece of window decoration. 1t ad-
vertised breakfast food and the ar.
tict has cleverly drawn lines and
placed package so that it looked
as though it had been thrown
through the window and was caught
by the splintered glass 1t caused
many a passer by to stop and look
closely before he saw it was not g
real smash.
Judge Evans came back from his
northern trip Saturday morning
leaving Nick Hunter behind. They
have been stopping at Tourist Home
started on a small island Of about five
acres east of Isle Royal. The resort
is new one and has not been spoil
ed for comfort by a rush of wealthy
resorters. While there the judge
landed (says so anyway one good
lake trout but was unable to get a
brook trout though he hooked one.
Nick is getting rid of his wheeze
and is feeling like deputy treasur-
err out to picnic.
Last year the legislature enacted
drastic compulsory educational law
intended to give children from sew
en- to sixteen years more months Of
schooling. AS result twelve dis.
tricts in this county are shortening
their school year. In county like
Redwood and with the high price OF
labor many farmer needs the help
of boys from II to 16 during Sep.
TENDER and can lily afford to spare
it. The new law would render him
liable to prosecution, fine and i'm.
prisonment for keeping boys out
during that period, while the same
farmer would be willing to send the
smaller children regularly to school.
Hence to get the benefit of that la
Dor he votes to cut the school year
down. thus penalizing all children in
the district. The Gazette may say
more about this law and suggest a
remedy later.
