not TO CHANGE
THE EXTERIOR
Plans for Enlarging Postoffice
Building Are Explained by
Architects.
WILL HAVE TWO WINGS
One to Extend West and the Other
South, But These Are to Ee
Only Two Stories High.

NJ. f. Forester, representing the of
flee of the supervising architect of the
treasury department at Washington,
was in the city today and explained to
Postmaster H. A. j. Mcdonald the
plans for the Improvement of the post
Office. To the surprise of many and
the regret of all, it develops that the
plans as adopted contemplate no
change in the exterior of the present
building. Two wings are to be built,
one extending 20 feet west along Sec
ond avenue, and one Is feet south on
Sixteenth street. These wings are to
be each two stories in heiShth, and
while they will afford the required
floor space. it is feared that there will
be a strange combination that will not
give the building pleasing exterior.
The two wings will each be surmount-
ed by balustrade.
Interior Changcs.
The interior of the building is to be
entirely remOdeled, however, and the
lobby of the Office will be enlarged,
and the present stairway TO the upper
floors will be rebuilt along the wall to
afford additional floor room on the
first floor. The building is to be built
with view to the greatest convent
ence in the work of the clerks and car
riers in the office.

Tribute to Remarkable Citizen.

The Hutchinson Independent sums
up the character of the late Rev. C.
I. Laugeson of that city, father of
Mrs. S. G. Peterson, as that Of "a
man of lofty ideals of citizenship
and one whose blameless life and
manifold good works linked to him
by ties Of love and kindness more
friends than it is the fortune of
many to have in this tickle and criti-
cal old world" Mr.. Laugerson had
lived in Hutchinson since 1871, first
as a cabinet maker and furniture
dealer and for the last Is years as
pastor of the Baptist church. A re-
markable record is given in this con-
nection, that for time he attended
to his pastoral duties in connection
with his business, up to 1891, since
which he has given his entire time
to church work, and during all his
long years of service his work was
not only done without salary or
compensation Of any kind, but that
he gave literally according to his
means in money as well as labor.
Before coming to America this re-
markable man was a soldier in the
Danish army, and in the Schleswig-
Holstein war was one Of the last to
leave Fort Frederitsa when it was
stormed and taken by the German
army.

STEWART BROS. TOP THE MARKET.
Redwood Falls Stock Feeders Again Score
High Mark at South st. Paul.

Only a few weeks ago The Gazette
copied an extract from South St.
Paul daily concerning a shipment of
fine fat cattle fed and sold by Doug
las Allan of Paxton, and this week
we have the pleasure of chonicling a
similar triumph for two Redwood
Falls township feeders. We copy
the daily Reporters article in full:
Robert and John Stewart of Red
wood Falls topped the fat steer mar
ket today with a bunch of two year.
Odds which sold at S6.4O and a bunch
of yearlings at 1928. Thesteers were
we'll finished and found ready sale.
The Stewards were very we'll pleased
with the market. This is their first
venture at South St. Paul, their pre-
vious feeding having been marketed
at other points. They were espec-
tally pleased to find good home mar
ket right at their door.
1.-The cattle were partly of their
own raising and all we'll bred. They
showed their quality in the gains
made and in the price realized on
the market. The bunch was put on
feed early last fall, ground corn, oil.
meal and clover and timothy hay
being the principle ration. This fall
the Stewards will feed from six to
eight loads. They are veteran feed
ers, having been practically raised
in the business.

law recently passed provides that
license tags must be carried only on
the rear of the machine. Secretary
of State Julius A. Schmahl has made
the ruling that two license numbers
must be carried, one on the front
and one on the rear of all machines
operated in the state. The law as
passed by the legislature made pro-
vision for two numbers, but a mis-
take was made when the law was
Transcribed for the printers, with
the result that the section relating
to numbers mentions but one num-
Der to be carried on the rear of the
car. This fact was Immediately no.
ticed by motorists who had been in
terested in the framing and passage
of the bill, but it was too late and
the laws were printed with the mis-
take.

Grand Army Closing Up Ranks.

Rambler Climbs Mt. David.

Since the introduction of the auto
mobile into the state Of Oregon
there has been continued rivalry
among dealers and owners for the
honor of first climbing to the sum-
of Mcfarland Butte, one of the
peaks of Mt. David, near Cottage
Grove, Oregon.
Recently j. B. VanWinkle, a rep
resentative Of the Willamette Auto
mobile Company of Eugene, Oregon,
reached the summit in Rambler
"a horse power roadster. The car
took the steep grade with the great
est ease, only once on short turn
meeting with difficulty, this being
occasioned by the tires slipping on
the grass of the mountain side.
The car carried three passengers,
encircling the big reservoir on the
summit Of the hill, then made the
descent without incident.

BaCCdIaureate Sermon.

Rev. C. S. Mook's sermon to the
high school graduating class last
Sunday evening was listened to by a
crowded congregation and was pro-
nounced worthy of the occasion
practical and helpful. Mr.. Nook,
in his Introductory remarks, said
that all he hoped to do in his dis
course to the class was to leave one
or two suggestions that they could
remember and apply in their future
plans. Taking for his theme the
Apostle Paul's injunctions to the
Ephesians to measure up to the full
standard of manhood, keeping in
view the Perfect Man. he urged the
Importance Of building to plan; of
trying to fix on a program for the
work of tomorrow and to acquire
daily habits consistent with the de-
sire for the upbuilding of useful and
really successful lives. The pattern
suggested by the text also raised the
matter of consideration for others
and the part that self-sacrifce takes
in the ideal life. The speaker die
not neglect to exalt the Importance
Of daily prayer. The music, led by
the choir of the Episcopal church,
including as it did a solo by Miss
VonHagen and duet by Mr.. and
Mrs. j. W. Neiman, was excellent

Subscriber Tells How to Get Rid of
Pocket GCphers.

A subscriber to the Mortified
News contributes the following ad-
vice on how to exterminate the pock-
ct gopher:
when riding through the country
having often wondered why so many
of our farmers would, year after
year, allow their meadows to be dug
UP. their grain destroyed, potatoes
eaten and apple trees killed by the
pocket gopher when they can be
gotten rid Of so easily.
Every farmer knows the swear
word he wants say-if he does not
by running into the mounds when
moving, getting the sickle full of
mud and gravel.
Just get bottle Of strychnine..
1t costs only Is cents; it used to cost
$1.00. Zone Of the things which is
cheaper.) Select some small pota-
toes about the size of walnuts. Take
your jack knife and cut slit in the
potato, dip the blade while damp
into the strychnine and put one or
two small grains into the potato;
the slit closes up and holds it there
until it is dissolved and absorbed by
the moisture Of the potato. Now
take a stick, an old broom handle
for instance, open up the hole and
roll down a potato. always closing
up the hole again tight. otherwise
when the gopher comes up pushing
the dirt he will also push the potato
out. and you will find it on top Of
the ground. Now, if you have done
the work we'll the poison will do the
rest, but remember it is poison you
are using and that strychnine is not
a wholesome diet for your children
or yourself"

For Every Boy in Redwood.

The officers Of the county Y. M.
c. A. are planning larger summer
camp for boys than has ever been
held before in the two counties. It
is expected that there will be about
fifty boys in camp at Clear Lake,
July 5 to Is.
Both Brown and Redwood counties
have been carefully studied with a
view to finding the best camping
spot. Every lake has been carefully
examined, and Clear Lake, six miles
southwest Of New UIm, has been
found to offer the most ideal condi-
tons. A sandy, gently sloping beach
makes the conditions for swimming
all that any boy could ask. The
camp ground is high and dry. A
good ball ground is near at hand and
everything connected with the camp
grounds is we'll suited to give fifty
boys the time Of their lives.
Wednesday night the boys of Red
wood will hold banquet at the
Christian church at 6 o'clock. After
the banquet, which will be furnished
for 20 cents, several of the leading
men will respond to toasts, and Mr..
Eastman of the state Y, M. C. A.,
will give stereopticon talk to the
boys, showing pictures of the boys
of this and other counties at camp,
and will explain all about camp life.
Every boy in town between 10 and
Is years of age is asked to be pres
ent. The parents and all interested
are invited to come in after the ban
quet is over and listen to the toasts
and hear camp life explained.
After the banquet will be a pro-
gram of toasts, w. H. Gold respond

RURAL PHONE
RATES ALTERED
Mandate from Attorney Gen.
eral Rules Discrimina-
alton Illegal.
Stockholders Vote to PAY the
Same Rental as Others.
SIPS per Month.

The rural telephone meeting at
the Court house yesterday afternoon
developed a good deal of talk as US
ual, as we'll as some action which
may result in tiding over the difficult
ties which the directors have had to
face in connection with renewing the
obligations of the company. Owing
to the publication day of The Gazette
coming the same day, an extended
report is out of the question and we
can only give results, which are
The passage Of a resolution author
izing tho raising of the rates of
stockholders from 81 per month to
S1.25, the action being almost COM
pulsory. owing to notice from the
attorney general that the discrimin-
atlng rates were contrary to law
AS there are about 300 stockholders
now getting the dollar rate, the
raise will mean an increase in in
come of about 5000, as there seems
to be no general objection to the
rates being made to conform to the
attorney generals ruling.
The stockholders ratified the ac-
ton taken by the directors in joining
the 7th district association of indie
pendent rural telephone lines and
continued the committee to whom
was left che matter of negotiating
on outstanding Indebtedness, giving
the directors power to act in the
matter. The meeting voted down a
resolution offered by a Walnut Grove
stoc kholder, to restore the voting
on the basis Of stock owned, as is
the usual practice in stock-holding
associations.
