START WORK ON new BRIDGE
All Blue Prints for Construction are
Out and Engineers are Here Ready to
Superintend the Construction of the
Bridge May Complete it This Year.

The Wisconsin Gas & Electric Co.
late Friday afternoon filed with the
city clerk formal acceptance of the
- clean up ordinance recently passed
by the common council and it is now
believed that the troubles between the
city and the company over all matters
covered by the ordinance are at an end.
The acceptance is in legal form and
satisfactory to the city attorney and
with the fling of it the company as
sumed all of the obligations provided
for in the ordinance.
G. Petersen Construction Co. for the 20
feet of pavement on South Ashland
avenue and it will at once proceed TO
the building of the bridge over Pike
Creek at Grand avenue. The engineers
of the company have completed all of
the blue prints for the bridge and the
laying of the sbuttments and piers will
be started just as soon as piles can be
driven. On account Of the nature
Of the soil it will be necessary
to have about twenty piles driven
and the contract for this work has been
let to Peter B. Galloway Of Racine.
Mr.. Galloway will make an effort to
start this work the early part of next
week and only few days will be re-
quired to complete it. AS the piles are
not long ones it is not thought that
the contractor will have any trouble
getting the material. With the piles
driven it is thought that it will be
an easy matter to get in the concrete
work and with the concrete out of the
way the weathAw conditions will make
no difference with the completion of
the bridge.
Superintendent r. B. Stearns Of the
company has given the special trans
portation committee promise that the
bridge will be completed this year If
there is any possible way to get the
work done. Anticipating the action of
the council in passing the ordinance the
company secured estimates on the
bridge several weeks ago and the steel
work will be made in Milwaukee. This
will make it possible for it to be on
the ground in Kenosha by the time the
concrete work is put in.
1t is said that the bridge will cost
the company about $1,000 and the cost
OF driving the piles for the foundations
Of the piers. The bridge as planned
by the company is approved by the
mayor and the city engineer as provid-
ed in the ordinance. It will be mod
ern steel bridge Of ornamental design.
The roadway will be built of vitrifed
brick and as provided by the ordinance
it will be up to the city to maintain
the roadway. The six feet wide walks
on either side Of the bridge will be
of concrete.
The bridge planned by the company
is regarded superior to the bridge orig
lnally planned by the city engineer. 1t
will be up to the company to provide
proper approaches for the bridge and
to see to it that it is open for traffic.

Ball Boys Give Dance
Base Ball Team And Its Friends Will
Have Dance in The Armory Fri
day Evening

The Denizens of the Diamond
(Which in plain American means the
Base Ball Boys) will give dance in
the National Guard Armory, Friday
evening, June 6.
Everyone knows what a dance in
the armory means; the best floor in
the state, and the most of it, to begin
with. Added to this there is always
good music when the Metropolitan
Orchestra plays, as it will Friday
night, and a pleasant interlude wher
everybody lunches at Mike and Joe's
Even if you don't like to dance
and probably you do or you wouldn't
be reading this-you should patronize
this dance, thereby giving the boys
both your moral and financial support
They want a team that's worth
while and want it more than they've
wanted anything since they wanted
it last season.
We all want a good team. It's
stacks of fun to "root" for the Red
wood Falls team on the home field OF
abroad. But before we can root we
must boost-and Friday night is a
very good time to start.

WATCH HIGH SCHOOL GROW!
Redwood Falls Is Becoming Educa
tional Center For Redwood Coun-
ty and Vicinity

The Redwood Falls High School has
made remarkable progress the past
year. Supt. C. w. Street has care
fully compiled the following data,
which will give some idea of the
growth of the institution.
The enrolment for 1928 was 202
in all, "a boys and 118 girls. Just so
per cent or 101 pupils were non-resi-
dent, showing the county reputation
the school has attained Five years
ago the enrolment was only 112,
while in 1911-1912 it was 1873.
Last year, 1911-12, 80 pupils en-
rolled for the course in agriculture, 81
for domestic science and 40 for man.
ual training. During 1928 the
pupils taking agriculture numbered
go, those taking domestic science 90
and the manual training boys were IS
in number.
This increased growth means pro-
portionately increased state aid and
reader admission of students to high
class colleges and schools.

Coming Program
is a Pleasing One
Many Numbers by Many Artists
Mean Week of Great Education
and Entertainment
HOBsON AND WIGGAM SPEAK
Sarah Ruth Bates and Anna Davault
To Read, Ross Crane Will Draw
Cartoons

July Fourth will be the opening day
of one of the biggest and best Chau-
tauqua programs ever given in Red
wood Falls. Our city has long been
known for it's successful and enjoy
able Chautauquas and this season
promises to be the crown of laurels.
Among the old favorites with Red
wood audiences are Richmond Pear
son Hobson, Albert Edward Wiggam
and the jolly little band of Kaffir Boys
who proved so popular last year.
These need no word of recommends
ton or appreciation; every one knows
they are always good and having
heard them once, will be glad Of an
opportunity to hear them again.
One speaker, new to US, but with a
nationwide reputation, is Glenn
Frank whose lectures on the world
problems of today show both versa
tility and virility making his lectures
an education as we'll as pleasure.
Another speaker in Mr.. Frank
class is Euclid B. Rogers. Should
Redwood Falls citizens be given his
lecture on Americas Biggest Job, y
they are fortunate indeed. DR.. Wes-
ley A. Hunsberger, Vice-president of
the Peace Forum also brings a strong
message which, delivered by one of
his great personal magnetism, is
doubly forceful.
The list of so-called lighter enter
tainers is headed by Sarah Ruth Bates
and her company. They give CHEEKY
and cheering program of musical and
literary numbers which always holds
their audience spell-bound. Equally
good are the Ernest Gamble company,
the musical Craven family and the
Ords. These will all give mixed pro-
grams OF an amusing nature.
Should Anna Therese Davault con-
sent to read Israel Zangwell's "The
Melting Pot" which is among the
books she impersonates, Chautauqua
guests will hear one of the greatest
American plays, read by an American
artist. The play is strong, forceful
purely American as the great Fang.
well sees America, and must be well
interpreted if Miss Davault reads it
Two other interesting and rather
remarkable numbers are Edwin Brush
the Magician and Ross Crane, the
CartooniSt.
The program is complete and varied
enough to suit the most exacting Of
tastes. There is no easier, nor more
entertaining way of obtaining a liber
al education than by attending it:
numbers, both as a student and as on,
craving amusement.

Fitting Exercises in
Honor of Soldiers
Decoration Day Is Appropriately OBJ
served by Soldiers and Citizens of
Redwood Falls

Decoration Day was observed in
Redwood Falls Friday in accordance
with the program hitherto published
The usual visit to the cemetery was
made in the morning. The procession
was composed of the local Post and
Relief Corps, the Scenic City Band
the Militia and citizens.
The afternoon program was held in
the Armory and was we'll attended in
spite. of the heat.
Hon. ]. N. Holmberg Of Renville
made the chief address of the after
noon. 1t was forceful expression of
patriotism and loyal tribute to sol
diers both dead and living.
Howard Mason read Lincoln's Get
tysburg Speech and Miss Lora Fran
co.'s gave reading from James Whit
comb Riley. Both were exceptionally
we'll read.
Music was furnished by a double
quartette of mixed voices, and Choir
us OF SchOOl cnllQren.
The whole program showed careful

Cash Register Installed
New Machine At Scenic City Cream
cry Is Wonderful Example of
Completeness

One of the most remarkable inven-
tions ever seen in Redwood Falls is
the new cash register recently INSTALL
ed at the Scenic City Creamery. While
register is no novelty nowadays,
this one is amazing and wonder-creat-
ing in its completeness.
With this device every bit of bust
ness transacted is accurately disposed
of. Cash sales, payments on account,
charge accounts-it doesn't matter;
the machine books them all with the
date, name of salesman and amount
1t also prints on a tab the name of the
article purchased thereby making it
impossible for Manager Olson to ever
again charge cream prices for butter
milk.
The machine has only two draw
backs. The first is it can take care
of only one million dollars worth OF
business at one operation. Therefore
when the firm does more than that
amount of business in one day, time
will have to be taken to reset the
register. However this will probab.
ly be overcome, should it be neces.
sarT by installing a larger register.
lie second drawback lies in the fact
that it will undoubtedly decrease the
salesmen's love of work, by removing
the necessity for work on their part
By relieving them Of responsibilities
it is likely to relieve them of theil
former great CD aptitude for menta
and physical labor.

Tuesday,, June II
Will Be Road Day
Everybody Invited to Help Auto Club
Make June IL A Memorable
Day

At an enthusiastic auto club meet
ing Monday evening, a complete Or
ganization was formed to work on
Good Roads day, June 18th on the Ty-
son Hill.
The general feeling is that the big
National Road from the Twin Cities
to the Yellowstone Park is one of the
most important highways in the State
Of Minnesota, and will be Of immense
benefit to everybody in Redwood coun-
ty.
The Club has found that a long
easy grade can be easily built out of
the Minnesota Valley, and it is pro-
posed to work it through in single
day. Bankers, Doctors, Lawyers, Mer-
chants and Professional men are get
ting in training for days work on
the hill, and already nearly hundred
of them, loyal and true have signed up
for days work and good picnic din
ner.
Resolutions were adopted asking
everybody, whether they belong to the
auto club or not, to come out and help,
and the Secretary was instructed to
invite the Morton Auto Club and the
citizens Of Morton to assist in the
good work.
Another important matter not to be
overlooked will be the picnic dinner.
The anticipation of loaded dinner bas-
kets furnished by the ladies will in it
self prove a strong drawing card.
A number of persons have already
volunteered to furnish team for the
big day. Good use can be made of
quite number of more teams, and if
there are any further volunteers who
can furnish team, the club would
greatly appreciate it if such volunteer
would notify DR.. Asleson, SO as to en-
able the club to make arrangements
for proper tools and machinery.

morrow Night

Wednesday night the program at
The Dream will consist in part of
views of Ramsey Park
Twenty-Five different park scenes
have been selected and exquisitely
colored slides made of them. These
promise an evening of enjoyment that

have neglected study of the Park to
become somewhat acquainted with its
wonders.
These slides have been prepared at
the Hockett studio and, are said by
those authorized to know, to be SPLEEN

done with care to get natural effects,
and has called for a big expenditure
of time and effort.
Mr.. Huntsberry of The Dream has
undertaken this program at the earn

have the Park become better known

"Class of 1913" is
Launched Thursday
Twenty-Five Students Receive State
Diplomas From Redwood Falls
High School

The twenty eighth class of the Red
wood Falls High School was gradual
ed at the Christian Church last Thurs
day evening.
The address of the evening was
made by Pres. S. F. Kerfoot of the
Hamline University who chose for his
theme 'The Spirit of Greatness"
Mr.. Kerfoot opened his address by
stating that not. "only God is great"
but every individual born in Gods
image possesses the spirit of great
ness to some degree. $3.50
Three essentials of this inherent
spirit are: self-appreciation which IS
in no-wise to be confused with self
conceit, the craving spirit which in
cites the individual to search unrest
ingly, and the creative spirit which is
the great proof that man is the child
of God.
The speaker, after dealing conclus-
lively with these three elements of
greatness, spoke feelingly on the pow
er and character that comes through
struggle with the world forces and
gave the audience Carlyle's thought
"That the King is the man who Can"
to carry with them.
Mr.. Kerfoot's sincerity would make
weak address forceful, and this
quality combined with his mastery
intellect, made his lecture an intellec-
tual pleasure.
Milton Johnson, the salutatorian of
the class, read an essay on Modern
Agriculture" and the valedictorian,
Miss Ruth Swenson, chose Against
the Current" as her subject. Both es-
says were studiously prepared and
well rendered.
The music was furnished by the
Girls Glee Club and a double quartette
of mixed voices under the direction of
Miss Mable Wood
President Mclean of the Board of
Education, presented the diplomas,
Rev. Ainsworth pronounced the Invo-
walton and Rev. Ehrstein the Benedic-
ton.
