Since the publication of the list of
applications for saloon licenses many
inquiries have come to this Office re-
garding the rights and powers of the
Council to issue the fill number of
licenses applied for, the people making
them evidently holding the opinien that
the Council has no right to grant the
full number of licenses applied for
under the state law. There seems to
be quite a general misunderstanding
of the workings of this law and how
1T affects the situation in this city. 1t
lis true that the state license law, a
measure which was widely discussed
under the name of the Baker bill at
the time it was before the legislature.
provides that only one saloon license
can be issued for every $50 population,
but the, law, Of course, could not be
made retroactive and cannot affect the
situation in cities where the number of
licenses exceeds the proportion set in
the law in so far as the renewal of
licenses for places already established
when the law went into effect is con-
cerned. This law can only be enforced
when it is proposed to issue licenses
for new saloons in cities or towns
where the number of saloons already
equals or exceeds the number permitted
under this law. Figuring on a basis
OF 10000 population Kenosha would be
entitled to issue eighty licenses and
the number would be somewhat less
than that figured on the totals of the
last official census which some lawyers
contend must be taken as the basis for
figuring out the number of licenses
which can be granted under the law.
1t is by some such method of figuring
out the number of licenses that many
people have arrived at the conclusion
that the Council cannot issue ninety
five licenses to the present applicants
but they have failed to take into ac-
count that all these places were es-
tabHshed when the law went into eff
feet and that their proprietors can get
renewals of their licenses as long as
they choose to remain in business at
these stands. The Council has no
right to grant any new Licenses or
transfer any Of the old ones so long as
the number in force exceeds the num-
Der allowed under the state law, but it
cannot revoke any of the licenses now
issued except for cause.

HOT IRON DESTROYS SIGHT
Paul Ganzlin of Wilmot Loses an Eye
in a Peculiar Accident

A piece of red hot iron struck Paul
Ganzlin of Wilmot in the right eye by
reason of which he is nable to lose
his ability to see from that optic. He
was engaged in work at the furnace
and with the assistance of Geo. Win
cell was cutting corners from cultivator
shovels which had become worn. The
shovels were heated red hot and cut
with hammer on the anvil The
piece which did the damage struck
Ganzhn in the corner of the eye pierre
ing the white covering and exposing
the interior of The eyeball. DR..
Becker was summoned and saw that the
case demanded the immediate attentio on
of a specialist. He fixed up the injury
the best he could and started as soon
as possible for Milwaukee with Ganzlin.
At first some slight hopes were held
out of possibility of saving the sight
in the afflicted eye, but such prospects
soon faded.

only criticism that is ever made on the

BIG LAND DEAL.
Davidson Land Sold to BurChard- IiuI-
bert Investment Co.

Morgan Messenger: One of the
largest land deals ever consummated
in Redwood county took place last
week when w. P. Davidson disposed
of $4,000 acres of land to the Burch-
Investment Co. of St.
Paul. He took over a mortgage of
$3.50, 900 which perhaps is the largest
mortgage ever recorded in this coun-
ty. The land is located in Three
Lakes for the most part while there
are several farms in Morgan and
Paxton and all of the land is tribu-
tary to this village. He realized S55
per acre for the tract. Mr.. David
son disposed of all his holdings which
also includes the elevator property
at Gilfillan Siding. We might add,
however, that he still retains his
stock in the Farmers & Merchants
State Bank of Morgan and still holds
title to several hundred acres of land
sold on contract for deed.
The Davidson estate was first pur-
chased in 1865 by w. P.'s uncle,
Commodore Davidson. as he used to
pilot steamboat on the Minnesota
river. The land was then purchased
from the government and we have
been told it was bought for 1925
per acre.
The land had remained in the DAY.
idson estate up to few years ago,
when w. P. purchased what re-
NAMED from the heirs. There were
originally 81 900 acres in the estate.
It is the intention of the purchasers
to secure agents at once and adver-
tise the lands extensively. They
will dispose of it to reliable parties
as soon as possible and a move will
be made to encourage eastern buy
erS.
1t will be a boon to Morgan and
Redwood county as well when this
land is turned over to individual
owners, and it will be only a few
years when every farm in this county
will be occupied by it's owner. There
is none better and the man that
places his money in farms in Red
wood county will not go far wrong.

Echo Water Tank Busted

Two years ago the wooden water
tower at Echo nearly went to pieces
but was subsequently Strengthened
up and furnished with new hoops
and again put into use. Last We'd
nesday came the sequel, when at
10:45 in the morning came terrible
crash, the bottom of the tank SEEM
ing to spread out and lumber, ice,
water and all came to the ground,
the wreckage covering the surround
ing territory and involving destruc-
ton of the pumping station and
damage to the valuable machinery.
The Enterprise, from which our
account is CLEANED. says that this
leaves Echo without fire protection
until bonds can be voted and new
tower put in next spring. Redwood
Falls has had its lesson on the mad
equacy of wooden water towers,
and Echo should put in steel tow
er next time.

HOME TALENT WINS TWICE.
Two Entertainments that Paid Entertain
erS and Entertained.

Two home entertainments in one
week is calculated to tax the loyalty
and resources of a small city. Red
wood Falls more than made good
last week in its support of the SYM
phony Club concert on Tuesday even
ing and the high school play the
following Friday evening.
The concert followed the program
previously given in this paper, in
the main, the male chorus proving
quite as popular as the instrumental
numbers. The singing Of Miss Amy
Barnes is always we'll received, and
seems to suit the popular taste more
entirely at every appearance.
Owing toustrenuous work in The
Gazette office last week, we shall
make no attempt at detailed re-
port. 1t is sufficient to say that the
orchestra as we'll as the soloists full
filled every expectation, and all are
pleased to know that the $50 receipts
were entirely acceptable to the pro-
motors of the entertainment.
Another record was made by the
Senior Class play Friday night. 1t
was thought that in the matter of
receipts the $140 taken in year ago
was the limit of reasonable expecta-
ton, but following so closely another
popular home entertainment, the
Senior Class this year did little
better financially than last, and all
who attended appear to be as we'll
satisfied with the play and the sue
cess of the class as were the princi-
pals.
The young ladies-Misses Sadie
johnson, Dean Baldwin, Gertrude
Hunter. Isabel Clark, Mildred Jen-
sen and Maud Kempton- all showed
good stage training, their parts
were well cast and their costumes in
excellent taste. In theatrical per-
formances young lady amateurs gen.
orally seem to have the best of it
from the standpoint of the specta-
tors, but the mere men in the cast
all pulled through with credit, and
we hear no unfavorable criticism of
the play as a whole. There seems
no such word as fail in the lexicon
of our high school students, and an
indulgent home public is always
more than satisfied with their efforts
to entertain them.

important Facts on Stock Feeding

Joseph Tyson Of this city gener-
ally knows what he is talking about
when it relates to the care of stock,
and he has very decided views,
founded on years of experience in
Minnesota. on the matter relating
to the care and feeding of cattle and
horses.
Here are a few paragraphs in
which he states his views, founded
on his own experience and knowl-
edge.
Corn is cheaper than oats and
just as efficient, pound for pound.
A horse will do as much heavy, hard
work, travel just as far in light
work, have just as good life. weigh
just as heavy, and look just as we'll,
at any time of the year, hot weather
or cold. when fed corn. clover, and
timothy hay, as he will if fed oats,
clover and timothy hay, pound for
pound at the present price Of corn
and oate. Sell your oats.
Many people think that the
QUALITY of milk depends on the feed
you give the COW. This is mistake
Cows give just as much milk when
fed hay as when fed the richest
kind of ground feed.
Hens lay most eggs when they
get most exercise. Feed them oats,
barley. rye and millet in the straw
Let them do their own thrashing.'

Co. X of St. Peter Leads.

Returns from the first weeks tar
get shooting competition shows that
the St. Peter boys fairly won the
first honors, as shown by the follow
ing score.
The second exchange of targets
will be made next week, when the
locals hope to tell another story. Of
course, the fact that the St. Peter
company is much older company
rather places handicap on the
newer material in Company L.

Renville Star Farmer. When the
saloons were voted out here last
spring it was claimed taxes would
be inordinately high this year. In
comparing the personal property tax
list for this city with the one pub

is not so great. To be sure they are
higher in some instances, but there
are others whose taxes are actu lily

Pianos at a Discount of 20 to 40 Per
Cent.

When Lyon & Healy of Chicago
started in to rebuild their big estab-
lishment the entire piano trade of
the United States wondered what
Lyon & Healy could do with their
vast collection of fine instruments,
for these were no cheap factory pi-
amos, but pianos of makes of the
highest reputation
What Lyon & Healy have done is
to mark pianos. hundreds of them
at discount of 20 to 40 per cent.
The response upon the part of the
public is marvellous.
If you know the names of good
standard makes of pianos and the
prices always paid, you will need no
second invitation to write to Lyon &
Healy. 10 Adams street, Chicago,
for lists and terms. For you can Sc
cure a genuine $500 upright for $3.50
or other bargains in proportion.
Lyon & Healy give their own
guarantee with every one of these
pianos. Nothing like this opportun-
ity has ever been given to music
teachers, students and music lovers
heretofore.

AT THE STATE CAPITOL

A bill by Representative Bicknell
seeks to correct alleged defects in
the law imposing a registry tax up
on mortgages. 1t is claimed that
under the present law the borrower
is compelled to pay the tax, and the
amendment simply provides that
when this is done the obligation be-
comes void. A number of states
have attempted to tax mortgages in
one way or another but in every
instance the records show that the
poor borrower is made to shoulder
the additional burden.
A resolution by j. T. johnson of
Fergus Falls provides for commit
tee Of five to investigate the man.
agement of the state fair association,
The resolution recites how large
amounts of money are collected and
disbursed and no detailed report Of
the business transacted has been
made to members Of the legislature
and they want to be shown.
The committee named by the au-
ditor's association at their meeting
this week to look after legislative
matters affecting the auditors
Office, will recommend q provision
Of law compromising the auditors
for extra work entailed upon them.

by the ditch law. In many counties
in the state the work in the auditors
Office has been more than doubled
by the ditch proceedings and no adj
ditional compensation or clerk hire
provided for. The auditors will ask
for fees amounting to one per cent
upon all amounts up to ten thousand
dollars, or a maximum of S10O upon
each ditch.
The critics who find fault with the
republican state committee for it's
failure to raise enough money to-
liquidate all the expenses of the
recent campaign, should not forget
that the enormous expense of run
ming the campaign was borne very
largely by the republican candidates
for office. Mr.. Jacobson not only
refused to allow his committee to
seek corporate support but enjoin-
ing them from accepting such con-
tributions as were voluntarily off
cred. The wisdom of Mr.. Jacob
sons course certainly does not APP
peal to the professional politicians,
who are now busily condemning the
committee, but the best citizens of
the state will uphold. in the long
run. any man who refuses to stulti-
fly himself for the sake of office,
high up though he may be.
Again has the supreme court
scored on the side of right and JUS
tice in deciding that all social clubs
selling liquor to its patrons must
pay license. The decision is re-
versal of Ramsey county case and
puts the fashionable Minnesota Club
and other so-called social clubs to
the expense of paying a saloon
license. These clubs are now and
always have been the most persist
ent violators of the liquor laws of
the state. And the lid" on these
rich mems clubs is never watched as
closely as the poor mans saloon.
A local option bill has been intro
duced by Ware of Mortified. These
bills are usually put in shape in the
committee and when this has been
done the measure will be discussed
here as it appears on the floor of
the house-if it ever gets that far.
The proposition Of Gov. johnson
to establish a new department to
take charge of the state mineral and
timber interests, will receive scant
consideration from the legislature.
A large majority do not propose to
further increase state expenses by
the creation of more offices and they
are getting weary of acting upon
suggestions from the governor for
which he can take credit if it proves
profitable to the state and condemn
the legislature if things go wrong.
If anything is done it will be upon
the suggestion of the state auditor
to create a department to have
charge of the state mineral leases
and timber lands with an elective
head.
