Hon. A. O. Eberhart, governor Of
Minnesota.
Hon. J. A. O. Preus, commissioner
Of insurance, st. Paul. Mimi.
Gentlemen: AS a delegate to the
Fire Prevention Congress converting
in your city on the 9th inst, | wish
to express my high appreciation of
the proceedings of that body in
which you gentlemen took such a
prominent part.
The question of fire prevention is
one of the most important issues
that confronts our state and nation.
The fire waste Of our country in
general, and in this state in particu-
lar. has been growing, assuming
alarming and burdensome proper
tions. This burden. of course, falls
on those who pay the insurance
tax and on those who are caught in
CONGREGATIONS without insurance.
The Fire Prevention association of
this state, which is organized and
managed by fire insurance interests.
and our Federation can well go hand
in hand along the avenue Of fire
prevention, but at the end of the
Fire Prevention" lane the aims of
these two organizations diverge at
right angles. The public leads off
for a lower fire tax while insurance
interests are reaching for greater
profits. This is very natural and.
from a purely business view, the
action Of either party may pass
without criticism.
On declining loss ratio, the in
surfing public naturally asks for
lower rates. The companies just as
naturally defer rate reductions as
long as possible. and the companies
that pay the highest commissions to
agents are, very obviously, standing
for the highest obtainable rate. 1t
is at this point that competition
among insurance companies should

Grand Chancellor Atwood will be

has notified the local lodge that Red
wood stands first in point of growth
of any lodge in this domain and as
recognition of this fact he will donate
to the lodge complete new set of
jewels.

Stores

Gifts Come Early
PRICES TO SUIT EVERYBODY

No one in Redwood Falls should
be puzzled in the selection ofChrist-
mas gifts, unless the puzzle arises
from too great variety to select
from. The local shops are display
ing big line Of special holiday
goods, as we'll as the usual showing
of standard articles.
Staples Are On Hand
All the Christmas staples are to
be found in holiday freshness at all
|, the shops. In one is an unusually
good line of handkerchiefs ranging
in price from one cent to one dollar.
In the same shop are dainty crepe
and fannellette kimonas at from one
dollar to two dollars and. half,
mems and ladies silk Isle .hosiery
most popularity priced, and practical
well-wearing street gloves also suit
ed to modest purses.
Handbags Are Tempting
The showing of new hand bags is
bound to tax the feminine purse.
In price ranging from one dollar to
| fifteen every taste should be suited.
Especially attractive are the very
new ones of modified shield shape
with the long silk-cord handle.
These and the ones of tapestry, are
decidedly distinctive. There are
also the very modish bags of silver
mesh, or velvet in colors to match
almost every costume.
Things For the House
The housewife with liking for
the new and beautiful is well cared
for in all the shops. Quite distinctly
new and most artistic are the pedes-
tails and jardiniere stands shown in
a furniture store. The latter are
Flemish in finish and have well-shap-
ed deep tops in which the plant NAV
be set. This new device does away
with the necessity OF a jardiniere,
but those shown in brass will prove
tempting for their decorative posi-
bilities. Equally artistic are the
Arts and Crafts baskets for flowers
fruit and ferns which may be had in
splendidly woven brown rattan at
prices ranging from fifty cents to
two dollars and fifty cents. The
newest of these is the sandwich bas.

appreciated by any one prone to
"cold feet. There also shown
canes with exquisite gold heads.
These cost from Sc. to So.
Equally good style and more mod

Geo. A. Smith, who was arrested and
brought back to this city from Milton
few days ago to answer to the charge
of embezzlement, was discharged from
custody and the case against him dis
missed yesterday afternoon.
The case against Smith was insti-
tuted by Robert McKinnon, who
claimed that he had paid Smith $224.50
as the first premium on life insur-
ance policy for $4,000. but that al
though he had made repeated efforts
to do so, he had never been able to get
Smith to turn the policy over to him.
Smith was for some time engaged in
the insurance business here and was
well and favorably known, and since
leaving Pensacol he has been engaged
in the same business in Milton.
A settlement which was satisfactory
to all parties concerned was arranged
yesterday and the case was mol pressed.
