COMMERCIAL
CLUB IS NEXT
Organized Monday Night With
Nearly Seventy Signers
and Live Officers.
STICK ON ANNUAL DUES

A splendid representation of Red
wood Falls business men responded
to the call of the mayor for a get
together meeting last Monday even
ing Chairman Owens Of the ar
engagements committee called the
meeting to order. and was nominated
temporary chairman by reclamation,
A. G. Dolliff being elected in the
same way to act as secretary.
The gathering at once tackled the
matter of a permanent organization,
the special committee having gone
over the ground pretty thorough
and through their chairman sub
hitting several drafts for working
constitution, the one used by the
Winona Commercial club being the
one finally adopted, with modifica-
tions. The name adopted for the
club was the Redwood Falls Com
mercial club. Under the constitution
it will haYe president, two vice
presidents. secretary, treasurer and
five directors. all of the ten officials
constituting the governing party of
the club. all but the directors being
elected annually. the last week in
January. The directors serve two
years after the first year, part being
elected alternate years. The section
defining the objects of the club was
amended by adding the word 'so-
cial9 to the business interests Of it's
members and of the cityssgand vicin-
ity. A motion to amend to social
and moral did not prevail, many
afterwards explaining that the city's
moral interests were looked after
properly by other organizations. S
The first rift in the get together
spirit developed when. the PROPOSE
ton was submitted to fix the dues
at $40 per year, payable quarterly.
A proposition to devote three tenths
of this to purely commercial pur-
poses was voted down as being in
adequate. An objection to the rate
was found in the fact that it might
seem prohibitive to some citizens
who would be desirable as members.
To further magnify the objections
to the rate, it was pointed out that
the members of the two mems clubs
who were offering to merge with
the new organization would get the
lions share Of the benefits from a
social point of view. Quite a uum-
Der of the audience withdrew. the

Rev. R. +. Chambers Goes to Jackson.

Rev. r. F. Chambers last Sunday
entered upon his labors as pastor of
the Presbyterian church at Jackson,
this state. Mr. Chambers had the
somewhat unusual experience as
ministerial candidate of preaching
two trial sermons at different towns
some time ago and receiving inyi-
tations from both congregations to
serve them as pastor. Jackson is to
be congratulated over receiving into
her midst minister who consistent

OPERA HOUSE GROCERY SOLD.
Roberts 8 Iienschke of Arlington Buy
Out Albert trust.

w. r. Roberts and e. I'll. Henschke
of Arlington acquired the ownership
of the stock and fixtures Of the
Opera House Grocery. beginning
last Monday. by purchasing the
same from Albert trust, who has
been at the head of the grocery
business there for the past two
years.
We are informed that the trans
fer resulted from Mr.. Trust, in an
swer to an inquiry, setting price
on his stock, some time ago, about
the time Of the retirement Of Mr..
Hingeley. This came to the ears Of
one Of the members of the new firm,
then at Arlington, who had heard in
a general way what a fine town
Redwood Falls was, and who, COM
ing to see about it, was so favorably
impressed with the looks OF things
here that he. wanted to bring his
family here as soon as he could.
Mr.. Trust made good on his offer of
the stock, and the inventory was
concluded last Monday and the
transfer completed. The purchasers
are still members of the Peoples
Mercantile Co. at Arlington, with
which they have been connected for
some time. Mr.. Roberts brings with
him his family, consisting of Mrs.
Roberts and their four children,
who are to make their home here in
the Francois house. on Fourth street.
Mr.. Henschke is at present bach
ielor. That is a misfortune by nc
means past remedy and he has come
to the right place to find the same.
| Mr.. Trust is not giving out his
plans for the future. 1t will take
some time to make collections and
wind up his business here, and with.
out any direct tips. it is safe to pre-
dict that Albert will not remain idle
for long.

Farm Demonstration Tracts.

Following up the criticisms of
present agricultural education, that
it does not reach the men who most
need it, the Minnesota Federation
of Commercial clubs, at its third
annual convention late last week,
announces that it has completed ar
engagements for the establishment of
demonstration tracts III every
main agricultural district Of Mime
sofa where during the coming season
farmers for many miles around will
receive practical object lessons in
planting, tilling and harvesting, and
in the newest and most advanced
agricultural ideas that are applica-
BILE to Minnesota conditions. Ex-
perts are to be in charge Of each OF
the tracts, and the profits will go to
the owners of the land. The work
is to be done without cost to the
farmers, as step towards practical
education in posting men too old to
go to school, or lacking opportunity
to do so, in how to improve their
methods and get more out of the
| land.
| The Federation has been at work
! on the new educational plan for
many months. In each of the dis
tricts where tracts are to be located,
active town and city commercial
clubs will assume general supervision
of the work. selecting the land,
obtaining the use of it and becoming
responsible for the proper conduct
of the work. The Federation will
furnish experts drawn from the
Minnesota agricultural college, who
will visit these tracts in turn, con-
Quoting all the farm operations with
the rotation of the weeks in the
planting and growing and harvest
season. The local clubs are pledged
to properly conduct the advertising
of the work, to gather the farmers
at the tracts to meet the experts
and witness the handling Of the
work. and to arrange on dates when
experts conduct the work for gen
eral farmers meetings at which the
experts will be quizzed by the farm
ers themselves on the why and
wherefore Of the methods employed,
and upon farm problems and diff
culties peculiar to the locality AL
these meetings the experts will de-
liver practical talks on general farm
ing. outlining the results OF the
