Fire Loss in New Avon Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon the barn and
chicken houses on the DR.. Garner
farm in New Avon were discovered
on fire and, owing to the wind and
the dry condition of everything in
fammable. the buildings and most
of their contents were destroyed.
The family of VIM. Vihstad occupy
the farm, and at the time of the fire
one of the grown sons had just re-
turned from taking Mr.. Vihstad to
the t.sin for Minneapolis. ALI that
the sclisg man was able to do was
to get all of the stock except calf
out - The fire zone. and to prevent
the spread Of the flames to the gran
ary 1t is believed that Mr.. Vihstad
carried insurance protection, but in
his absence nothing definite could
be learned this morning. The Farm
ers' Mutual carried $3.50 insurance
on the barn. AS practically all Of
the harness and barn furnishings, as
well as chicken house. brooder, etc.,
were burned, the loss to the Vihstads
is no small matter.

Registered Cow Brought Easy Money.

Hutchinson Leader: Does it pay
to buy first class cattle? Ask Harry
Walker. Six years ago Harry bought
an old registered Holstein for $50.
She raised a calf every year Harry
had her and the offspring brought
the following prices: S75. $50, $50,
SOL, $500, $50 total of S432, and
the cow herself was bought by Henry
Memo at the auction sale for $50, a
grand total of 1882. From this we
deduct the first cost of the COW, $50,
which will leave the neat sum of
1922 clear profit. During the six
year period Harry owned the COW
she yielded $40 per year, or 1T per
cent. per year on the investment.
Not so bad, is it? Is there anything
else on the farm that pays as well?

Undertaking and Investigating. "

Mortified News
There seem to be predictions on
the part of the present Minnesota
Legislature to indulge in a great
deal of alleged investigation which
is in reality nothing more nor less
than undertaking" and that there
is decided difference in these two
forms of public zeal on the part of
legislators is painfully apparent.
investigation as such is desired by
the people of every community when
it is deemed necessary. and there is
no department so we'll conducted but
what an occasional investigation will
tend to make its interests for the
people more secure and more GER
tain.
But Undertaking" is of different
aspect entirely. 1t has for its OBJ
ject not the betterment of the pub
lie welfare nor the presentation of
actual facts concerning the offices
investigated" Not that, but the
exploitation of the individual legis-
lator and the creation of sensations
in which he may figure largely as
the friend of the people" is the OBJ
ject of these crusades.
Just at present an epidemic of
these seems to have seized the legis-
lature, and not an officer will escape
before the session has closed. If
there is anything wrong in any of
the State Offices the people wish to
know and they have that right. But
we do not want distorted facts nor
exaggerated truths.
Sometimes an innocent truth may
be so played upon that it becomes a
glaring, hideous indictment of pub
lie official. That is not what the peo-
pie of Minnesota wish. Such adver-
Using as that does not bring the sort

Monument for Supt. Ericsson.

Let it be recorded that school
children and their friends are not
always ungrateful for educational
assistance given them. They are
only liable to the common fault Of
waiting until the object of their
gratitude is dead before manifesting
their good will For instance. our
Renville county exchanges are call

furd started for erecting a suitable
monument for the late County Supt.

several years ago, now amounts to
several hundreds of dollars. and that

started the memorial movement for
contributions from the school pupils
of the county. has appointed A. d.

signing and placing the monument,
which it is proposed to set up on the
grave of the deceased educator, on

into office about the same time Supt.
Race did in this county, and held

however, served about twenty years

REDWOOD co. BARLEY FIRST PRIZE
VIM. lussenhop of Paxton Gets $50
Check as Prize Winner of Barley

Redwood county scored again last
week on its farm products, when C.
w. Lussenhop of Paxton received a
letter informing him that he had
been awarded first prize in his dis
trict, which comprises about one
fourth of the farming territory of
Minnesota, on barley raised by him
from seed purchased of Northrup,
King & Co., called Mensora barley.
Mr.. Lussenhop purchased ten BUSH
els of the barley last spring, from
which he secured a fairly good yield
last fall. The Northrup-K King COM
pany had offered considerable sum
in prizes for best grain raised from
this seed, dividing the state into four
districts for purposes of the compe-
tition, beginning with a $50 first
prize for each district. Mr.. Lussen-
hop cleaned up a 15-pound sample.
as required under the terms of the
seed contest, but took no special
pains to select the best kernels,
merely running a good sample lot
through his tanning mill. He was
taken by surprise when he received
his letter containing the check for
$50 and the congratulations Of the
company over his success.

Funds Shy for Park Music.

st. Paul is having her troubles
about music in the parks. The Mu-
sic Era says that because lawyers
disagree as to what is actually meant
by certain provisions in the charter,
there may be no music in the parks
this summer. An error was made
in making the yearly allowance for
the Park Department. which leaves
them $4,000 short of what was an
ticipated; consequently there are no
funds for music. 1t is said that the
council will endeavor to supply
music and recreation features by
some other method.

Fire blazing up from the south

dull a period for speculation we must
go back to 1904. Sales of bonds, how
