D. McNaughton Buys Tyson Residence.

David McNaughton of Delhi was
in the city last Monday, with his
family, looking over several houses
offered for sale here, the result be-
ing the purchase of the best resi-
dence property in the city offered,
from the point Of view Of a perma-
nent home. The house referred to
has been the home of Joseph Tyson
and family for quite a number of
years, but was maintained in good
repair and kept up as a modern home
in almost every particular. With
all rooms on one floor aside from the
roomy basement, situated on the
lake shore, within two blocks of the
high school building and with plenty
of breathing space in three acres of
lawn, grove and garden, it seemed
we'll worth the price, $4,000, and
with Mr.. and Mrs. Tyson contemp-
lating their removal, we are pleased
to know that his home property is
to be kept up by such thorough 60
ing and worthy citizens as Mr.. and
Mrs. McNaughton are known to be.

those who value good reading in

This reduction can only be explained
by the eagerness of the magazines

lished at any cost. for the value it

Redwood County's School Money.

The October distribution of school
funds in this county gives $500 for
each pupil entitled to apportionment
the total number being 1886 and the
amount $14,515.20, as against 1857
pupils drawing money last March
when the apportionment was only
S2.01 per pupil. Auditor Larson has
not received the cash from the state
for distribution, but the statement
has been published that the state
will make considerable saving this
year in the matter of exchange by
having the county treasurer pay out
the money direct, but if this is done,
the money will not be sent out until
after the November settlements are
made.

Obadiah A. Hines was born

October 21st, 1909. O. A. Hines was

Their October Meeting.

The Mormons and Koreans re-
ceived the attention of the Presby-
terian Women's Missionary society
last Wednesday afternoon, at their
meeting held at the manse. Mrs.
Robert Stewart was the capable
leader for the day. The textbook
of the year, 1.-The Nearer and Earth
er East" was finished, the closing
field described being Korea After
the review of the chapter by the
leader, in which Mesdames John
Stewart. Dolliff and Rosendahl as
sisted, Mrs. Chambers told some
thing of the Presbyterian missions
in Korea and the character Of the
Christian natives of that country.
Their zeal, self-denial and labors in
behalf of the Master puts to shame
the half hearted work of most Chris
tians in America. Most of them
earn but twenty cents a day, still
much of the church work is support
ed by them.

Weddings This Week.

The Gazette was guilty of little
too much haste to the wedding last
week, in repeating from current
rumor the announcement Of the
marriage of Byron Whittet and Miss
Mildred Wetmore for last Wednes-
day. We learn from the officiating
clergyman that the true date is to-
day, the ceremony to be celebrated
at the Wetmore home southwest of
this city at the hour of $50. Rev.
Sackville M. Smith will join the hap
Ply pair in marriage, and their i'm

Whittet good start in welded life.

A SNAP IN GOOD READING.
Two Splendid Magazines Are Offered
for the Price of One.

Those of our subscribers who ap-
preciate magazines which are truly
worth while can get two Of the best,
the coming year, at the price of one.
Many of our lady readers already
know what Good Housekeeping is
one of the best aids to the house
keeper as we'll as the most interest
ing of any published. No better
Christmas present for man to make
to his wife, since he is sure of the
biggest kind of dividends in the food
menu of his daily meals and in num-
berless small economies suggested
to the readers of this publication.
With this magazine is coupled the
American Magazine, which is the
best value we know of at 81 so per
year. The American has won it's
way into public favor by its whole
some Americanism and its educa-
tional articles on various phases of
American life. The articles of Ray
Stannard Baker alone are worth the
price of the magazine, and such
writer's as William Allen White, Mr..
Dooley, Ida Tarbell, Edward Gray
son and others contribute every
month to the solid worth of this
peerless monthly. Last month The
American began a series of articles
on "Barbarous Mexico" The title
sounds sensational, but when we
come to read the we'll attested story
of actual experience in our sister re-
public, we discover that the Mexican
system of peonage and the Mexican
variety of political graft are so much
worse than anything we know Of this
side Of the Mexican boundary, that
the title of this series of papers is
fully justified.

country with a written constitution

U. S. Cavalry Officers Find Friends.

One of our up-cOuntry exchanges |
made the mistake of stating, last
week, that Maj. Gailbraith, in COM
mand of the cavalry squad of the
4th u. S. Cavalry which passed !
through here recently, was the same
officer who distinguished himself in
the Indian campaign of '62, in de-
Tense of Fort Ridgeley. AS that |
period was forty-seven years ago,
Maj. Gailbraith would obviously
have been placed on the retired list
years ago, but as matter of fact, the
vigorous officer in command of the
cavalry practice march is a son of
Major Galbraith, senior, and was a
boy old enough to remember accom-
panying his father when the latter
was in command at the Lower Agen-
cy. The Morton Enterprise says
that the Major took great pleasure
in reviewing the scenes of his boy
hood in company with Jerry Patten,
during the stay of the troops in
Morton.
Captain Scherer, the next ranking
officer of this expedition, also found
himself in a friendly country on this
expedition. The captain was form
er New Ulm boy and Policeman
Lauterbach remembers him as a
school boy when New U!m was
some years younger than it is today.
At Echo Capt. Scherer was enter
tanned by Mrs. Voss, his sister, at a
duck dinner, and the Enterprise has
the following account of a visit
made to the expedition while in
camp the evening following the day
on which they passed through Red
wood Falls:
Through the courtesy of Mrs
Voss and daughters, Mrs. Hughes
was invited to visit the camp on the
Yellow Medicine where the fourth
regiment of cavalry were to be
found on FRIDAY last. camping for
the night in a picturesque valley
nesting meath the hills on the K. O..
Homme farm. The tented city was
already pitched and dinner was be-
ing served when the ladies arrived
at six o'clock. Capt. Scherer was
the object Of their call, being a
brother of Mrs. Voss, and he gra-
ciously invited them to partake of
dinner. Though the menu of beef
steak, fried potatoes, onions, mush-
rooms, coffee and hot cakes was
tempting the ladies were content
with a souvenir of hard tack" as
something out of the ordinary for
them. though always to be found ir

THE LURE OF
THE DOLLAR
Is Tempting Redwood County Farm
ers to Let Go of Lands at
Advancing Prices.

Farms have been selling in Red
wood county like hot cakes this fall.
Last week, for instance, we enron
icled the sale of the j. A. johnson
farm in Delhi, which was sold to
David McNaughton through the
Crimmins agency, and since then
have been informed that the same
dealer sold the John Anderson farm
of 400 acres, also near Delhi, to Rev.
Newcomer of Carroll, Illinois. The
Hans Jensen farm near Delhi was
also sold the same week, by the
Gimmestad agency at Belview.
Another important transfer of a
valuable farm was closed early last
week by A. J. White of this city,
who sold the Dwight Bissell farm OF
$40 acres to DR.. M. G. Reynolds OF
Aledo, Ill.,. for $34, $50. This farm
is near the city and along the Red
wood river, and is splendid tract for
a home farm.
1t is noteworthy that most OF the
sales this fall have been of our best
farms, Delhi seeming to be the most
attractive location of any. Not all
owners of our best farms are ready
, to sell, however, even at the good
prices offered. We are told that A.
J. Sundine of Delhi was offered
$50. 900 for his 600 acres and de-
clined it, and that N. W. Cobleigh
declined the tempting bait when re-
Gently offered $50 per acre for his
large tract west of this city.
That those who hold their land
are making no mistake is indicated
by the experience of Mr.. P. Cahal-
Ian, who bought the George King
land in Delhi six years ago and has
had the same farmed by good
renter, realizing as he states, through
good and bad seasons, eight per cent
on his investment and an increase II

acre on the 400 acres an "un
earned increment" of $4,000. Mr.
Catalan has a we'll grounded faitf
that his land will be saleable at ST;

consequently in no hurry to let it 81

were 5000 bushels of oats, 2,4O0'
bushels of corn and about 200
bushels of wheat and other small
grain in addition to the oats. (
considerable part of his land is pas
tured.
The fact that Messrs. McNaugh
ton and John Stewart are buying
more land so soon after selling thei
own farms shows that the farmer
selling are not dissatisfied with tn
country.

WHEN WILLIE is SENT HOME

When you are a little bothered
by having a neighbours child out
stay his welcome and you would
not for the world offend the
mother or hurt the child's feel
ings, this plan, which a clever
mother has thought out, may help
you:
She says, smilingly, when the
little chap has stayed a certain
time: willie, when you get
ready to go home remind me to
give you a bundle. have one for
you to open when you get home"
In five minutes at the most Will
lie finds that he has "got to go
home now" and trudges away
happily with his bundle.
Cookies, a little fruit or bit of
candy will do for the contents of
the priced bundle, and cordial re-
lations will continue to exist be-
tween the two families.

OFINTERE.ST TO WOMEN
THE JAPS! THEY'VE PRUNG A PARA
SOL THAT WILL BE FASHIONABLE

The fashionable parasol this
summer is to be a Japanese thor
|oughbred. Thoroughbreds are
expensive. The japanese parasols
cost from $40 upwards.
The new parasol is to have IL
ribs instead of eight, so that the
shape will be entirely changed,
and almost flat. The handles are
extremely long and many of them
are grotesquely decorated with
owls and parrots and even tiny
monkeys carved out of wood.
Sometimes the frames are gild-
ed and a large fluffy chou of
Chiffon almost invariably adorns
the handle.
Almost any kind of material is
stylish for the coverings and two
or three fabrics are often used to-
gether. White linen will be pop
ular.
Moderately priced parasols will
probably have only IL ribs, but
the handles will show the same
extreme length as the more ex-
pensive models.
