him how glad we had been to see
him drop the saloon business in our
town many years ago, to 60 out and
re an honest farmer. John told us
how ne came to be in the park that
ne is working under Supt. Mussbau-
mer. the man who is doing much for
the city beautiful not only in st.
Paul hut in other Minnesota towns.
1t will be recalled that Supt Nuss-
banner came here last year or was
IT two years ago? upon invitation of
our woman's club to come and look
Us over and make suggestions for a
more beautiful Redwood Falls. and
1T will also be recalled that under
the prodding Of the ladies after
wards, quite good start was made
in that direction. John Grady's
work for the park board is driving a
team eight or nine hours of the day,
but as he is not called upon to take
care of his team except at the noon
hour, his duties. as he told US, are
not SO laborious as they were on the
farm after his son married and left
his parents to solve the problem of
running the farm with hired help.
John is getting two dollars a day
most OF the year around, and as he
is living in his own house in a pleas
ant suburban quarter, his modest
pay keeps Mrs. Grady and himself
out of need of drawing upon their
other property resources and they
find life pleasanter than upon the
farm. The Gradys are to be congrat-
ulated upon their good fortune in
having life made much pleasanter
for them, with modest ambitions
and desire for display, than it is for
2 majority of city toilers.

You can't get away from Redwood
Falls people by going to the cities.
There are too many ''formerlies"
there to miss all Of them even in a
two days stay. Right in front of
the old Field-Schlick headquarters
on Wabasha Thursday morning,
Horace Baldwin held out his hand to
US as we were looking about for a
good chance to look over the head
lngs Of morning paper wehad just
bought on the corner. Horace told
us that Redwood farmers are send
ing many carloads of nice stock to
the South St. Paul firm Kaye & Co..
with which he is associated. We told
him that it was certainly encourage
ing to be reminded that Redwood
county farmers were learning how
to make money feeding stock, and
that we hoped that the work would
grow. Horace pleased us by telling
how pleasantly his daughter Cecil is
situated out at Pocatella. Idaho,
where she is engaged as a stenogra-
pher and assistant for her husband,
who Horace declares is man of
clean life and no bad habits. the two
partners enjoying each others soci-
ETY., as Horace declares, like

Over at Minneapolis we bad time
only for a few calls on relatives,
finding S. J. Race and familf and
Mrs. Joe Corbett enjoying life as
we'll as the strenuosities of life in the
cities admit. Mrs. Corbett was look
ing expectantly for visit from IA
Their and mother Mckay in the near
future. Mr.. Race is little buster
than usual, with some arrears ac-
from his recent vacation
rip to the coast. but getting consid-
erable satisfaction nights and morn
10y riding with members of his fam
" and an occasional visitor in his
Mitchell car. The writer had just a
aste of this diversion, and it helped
o eXlain why 50 many Minneapolis
citizens are said to have mortgaged
heir homes In order to possess one
II these modern high-priced luxuries.
