REDWOOD LADIES SIGN
PETITION AGAINST SALOONS
To the Business Men and Voters of
Redwood Falls. Minnesota

To the Business Men and Voters of
Redwood Falls. Minnesota:
We, the undersigned residents
of the city of Redwood Falls, here
by request and urge the voters Of
this city to do all in their power and
TO use every honorable effort at
their command to keep the licensed
saloon out of our city. for the foil
owing reasons:
LIST. In the interest of the chill
dren of Redwood Falls. We believe
our children have better chance to
develop character and manhood and
womanhood in a saloonless town.
End. Our city is a safer place for
the one hundred boys and girls from
the country and nearby towns who
are attending high school here. We
believe many of these boys and girls
haye been sent here to school be-
cause there are no open saloons here
this year. This means more bust
ness for our merchants.
3rd. Our streets have been prac-
tically free from drunken men for
the past two years. The business
section of our city has been safer
and pleasanter for women shoppers,
not being Obliged to pass the open
saloon.
4th. We believe people are at.
tracted to city like Redwood Falls
to live permanently, not alone be.
cause we have beautiful city and
location and are enterprising. but il
addition on account Of our schools
and churches. An increased mum
Der Of desirable citizens is sure tx
come if we continue to keep out tht
saloon.
9Th. we believe the saloon is |
detriment and has = bad inf1uencl

on the homes, the schools and the

9th. The saloon in extreme cases
works a fearful hardship in the
homes. which we believe can be
avoided in Redwood Falls, by keep
ing the saloon out.

our city is better without the saloon
than with it, for when there is no
saloon for men to spend their money
in. they have more money to spend
with the merchants. and the better

This, however, applies only to the
ease where the waves are sent out
"undirected" on, all sides. With "di-
rected' waves, which are nov almost
universally employed as they were at
the time Of which 1 am writing, a
variation Of the proct is required.
1t Is then necessary that the waves
shall be sent either simultaneously or
at an interval from the point c sepa-
rately to A and B. This being done,
the result Is the same as before, the
location of G being determined.
In the latter case a single instrument
will suffice, being used first at A and
then at B.
1 knew that the last described meth
cd would have to be employed, since,
as 1 have already explained, Payton
was sending directed" messages tc
Mr.. Grayman, although the latter's re
plies were necessarily "undirected,"
because Payton would not designate
his location, and the waves had to be
sent out on all sides in order to find
him. The only problem for US l saw
would be to induce Payton to eommu'
nicate In succession from the same
point with two widely separated sta
lions.

morning. and Mr.. Grayman
conducted US at once to the
Office of Henry Garland, one Of the
great bankers Of the town, who was
In the Grayman combination and who
had been notified by telegraph Of cur
coming.
Mr.. Garland was delighted to oblige
the Millionaire by giving him the ex-
elusive use of his private Office.
In half an hour I had made all my
arrangements, and again we waited.
Payton was faithful to his appoint
ment, and everything worked like a
charm. AS before, my needle indi-
Gated every break In his talk and set
itself while the waves were planning
In a perfectly definite direction.
The distance and bearing of Buffalo
from New York being known, l now
had all the elements of the problem in
my hands, and Ii only remained to
solve 1t on paper, the matter of a min
ute or two.
But the reader may be interested In
knowing what was said by Payton
and Mr.. Grayman on this occasion.
Payton opened by saying: Good

have just been out catching a string
of trout that it would do your eyes
good to look upon. The dear girl be-

If you dc, why not tell this society at its next meeting about these

Judge Porterhad, of Kansas city, Missouri, is putting the Missouri
