Gas Ready to Use
By Middle of July
Plans Rapidly Being Perfected For
Giving City Best Fuel AT Rea-
sonable Rates
CARDS WORTH GOOD MONEY
r. F. Wherland Ready to Start Oper-
a:4ons if H0Hseholders Wish
Use of Gas

If the people of Redwood Falls so
desire there is no reason why house
wives shall not be using that clean
est ard best of fuels, Gas, by the
middle of July. This week r. F.
Wherland is distributing circulars and
information concerning the plant and
if sufficiently large number of
householders express desire for gas
to be used for cooking purposes, the
plant will probably be started in the
very near future.
Mr.. Wherland has the greatest con-
fidence in his scheme to furnish the
fuel to the city at a reasonable rate,
the rate depending directly upon the
number of persons who decide to use
the product. Gas has many advan-
tages as a fuel, chief among these
being its great cleanliness being with
out either SCOT or odor the rapidity
with which it heats and the readiness
with which the user has access to it.
If it can be furnished at reasonable
rate to the consumer it makes the
most desirable fuel for use in the
home for cooking and laundry pur-
poses.
Attached to the circulars which
Mr.. Wherland will distribute this week
are cards each worth one dollar in
value on the first gas DILL of the hold
er. Four or FIVE hundred of these
will be distributed and the proposition
thoroughly explained. These circu-
lars contain a good deal of valuable
information and should be carefully
studied by all those interested.

Still Believe Redwood
Best Trading Station
Merchants Positive Morton Can't Tn
N dersell on Goods of Equal
Quality
Redwood Customers Demand The
Best; Cheap Goods Actual Drug
on The Market

The Morton Enterprise again tried
TO talk prices and in its issue Of last
week said lot of things that didn't
prove anything except that if Morton
grocers are selling goods as listed
they are handling such cheap quality
groceries that they couldn't do bust
ness in Redwood Falls at ALL One
of our grocers assured US this morn
ing he was the possessor of several
cases Of canned corn and peas which
he would gladly dispose of at three
cans for twenty-five cents. But his
customers demand the best brands
and highest qualities, so such cheap
goods are a drug on the market IL
Is a notable fact that in taking inven-
tory from year to year our grocers
as well as our dry goods merchants,
find it is the cheap goods that remain
on the shelves; the good goods sell
readiest and have to be ordered most
frequently. AS for canned salmon
at eight cents per can-well, it would
be just as impossible to sell that at
Redwood Falls as to eat it after it
had been sold. We have liking for
real salmon here-not carp.
Harking back to the same mooted
sugar question, we are told by citi-
zen of Morton that when the price
was cut there were just Two sacks of
sugar in the store. It pays to adj
yeTtisel The merchant got rid of
those two sacks almost Immediately.
And as for -four; none Of our deal
ers has ever quoted special prices on
-four, 50 there can lie no comparison
between specials. The prices Morton
refers to were regular prices, Of
course.
As our readers know, it Is not The
Gazette's policy to publish matter
that has not news value or to indulge
in long harangues Of this nature. We
have done this in common 51ssice t3
our merchants and promise not to
encroach On .o1r good nature in this
respect again.

Claude ". Street
To Become Head
Glencoe Schools
Redwood Falls To Loose Very Able
Superintenden of Public Schools
SALARY MATERIALLY RAISED
Glencoe Gives Two Years Contract
With Salary Increase Each
Year

Claude W. Street, who for the past
two years has been the superintendent
of the schools of Redwood Falls, has
accepted a two year contract as super
intendent of the schools at Glencoe.
The offer made to Mr.. Street was one
of such good salary and presented
SO many possibilities of advancement
that he felt he would be missing a
splendid opportunity if he did not ac-
cept.
Glencoe has a splendidly equipped
school which is supported in part by
an endowed fund making it financial
ly one of the best schools in the state
as it is educationally. Its scientific
apparatus alone was purchased at
cost of $4,000 and it boasts a library
of several thousand volumes.
While Mr.. Street is to be congra-
tulated on this splendid position which
his work here SO amply justifes, Red
wood Falls will feel keenly the loss
of his leadership in educational mat
tiers, and the high School and its
students will especially regret his de-
parture.. During his two years here
Mr.. Street has accomplished marve-
lous things in the advancement of the
school and been a genuine and per-
sonai inspiration to every pupil with
WHOM he has come in contact. The
school has increased greatly in both
the humber of pupils enrolled and the
the extension of it's influence. 1t is
N after Of grave regret that the
question of salary should deprive Red
Wooa Falls of superintendent so
admirably suited to its individual
neeq as is Mr.. Street. Frequent
-chafges I'm the heads of institutions
are always direct cause of greater
or less deterioration and particular
ly ID when the leader SO thoroughly
undt rstands the peculiar needs OF the
institution as does Mr.. Street.
1t is extremely unfortunate If the
policy Of economy is carried to the
extreme in the salaries of members
of the teaching corps as it necessita-
ties frequent changes and the loss OF
very able instructors. The biggest
thing about Redwood Falls is her
public school system and the ques-
ton of funds should be made entire
ly secondary when the question is
one Of the schools good.

Last Days of Pompeii"
Shown at New Dream
Bulwer-Lyttcn's Dramatic Novel To
Be Shown in Photo-Play
OUTBURsT OF yEsUyIUS SHOWN
Blind Girl and Her Lover Share In
terest With Big Historical
Event

One of the best features Of the
modern photo-play is that it brings
before the people in most realistic
way, the best of literature and the
big events in the worlds history.
Redwood Falls has had some espe-
cially fine things within the past few
months and is likely 10 have more of
them, as fast as demanded, in the
future. Next week Friday and Sat
urday evenings at the New Dream
viii be given IN dramatized form, one
Of the biggest and best novels OF the
worlds literature, B1lHer-Ly tons
Last Days of Pompe.i.
This novel has as its foundation,
the eruption Of the Volcano yesavil5
which buried the little city Of Pompeli
at its base 30 deep that it remained
buried and lost to human knowledge
for seventeen centuries.
With this historical setting Lytton
woye a tremendously dramatic novel
with the little blind slave girl and
the Greek youth she loved as the CEN
trail figures. This makes a story
which has heart interest as well as
being big dramatically and in photo
play it should be well worth seeing.

THE GRIPPE

A snag-toothed fend with nut
pick hands
Bites, claws and rakes my mas
told glands,
And just inside my bursting
eyes
Some redhot stoves are baking
pies
It is not housemaid's knee or
pip;
The doctor says: cts only
grippe!"
Two negroes, fearing they'll be
lynehed,
Five gangsters, fearing they'll
be pinched,
With spiked shoes on, run up
and down
My Uranium from base to crown;
Through all my stretched and
aching veins
Mad motormen run subway
trains,
While on my chest camel lies
And stares at me with fiery
eyes,
A restless camel, i'll at ease,
Who kneads my heart beneath
his knees;
New York Sun.

week Of March 2-7, are being rapid
Iy completed. Committees worked
hard yesterday and today threshing
out the final program, arranging for
sequence of the numbers and listing
premiums.
Good Speakers
Redwood County is extremely for
tunate in the speakers who will be
the instructors during the Short
Course. These include Roy Palmer,
agent Of Faribault County, G. E.
Rogers, of Washington County, who
will discuss horses and beef, w. E.
Morris of Renville County whose sub
jects are Dairying and Live Stock,
Mr.. Potter of Springfield, T. G. Pat

Two Daily Sessions
There will be two sessions each
day of the week beginning at $3.50

will begin at 1870 o'clock.
The corn show will be held at the
court house where several of the talks
will also be given. Other addresses
and the demonstrations will be made
in various other buildings centrally
located.
Tickets for the entire course of
twelve sessions will sell at $1.00 each.
making scheme there are a few local
expenses which must be met and can
easily be met by charging this nomi-
nal admission The State bears none
of the expense of this course, and it
must be self-supporting Several of
the lecturers will each be worth the
price of admission so it is felt nc
one will object to this very slight
expenditure which means such prac-
tical benefit to the listeners.

 Tt is strange what a great change is wrought in our home Of death. The moment the friend is gone for ever what sacredness invests him Everything he ever did or said re- turns to us with a new significance. A thousand yearnings rise of things we fain would say to him-questions unanswered and unanswerable. All he wore or touched becomes sacred relics. Yesterday what were consid- cred homely articles. to be tossed to and fro, and handled lightly. are touched softly today as tears drop upon them Death has laid his hand upon them and they have become sacred. These are sad hours when one passes from our doors never to return, and we go back to set the place in order.
 There in the room so familiar, the belongings of their daily life seem to say to us, Neither shall their place know them any more. Could only one flutter of their immortal gar ments be visible in such moments; could their face, glorious with the light of heaven, once smile on the de- serted room it would drive away the gloom. We need 10 lose a friend tG understand ourselves truly; it teaches us things We never knew be- fore We may have expected it, pre- pared for it, yet when it comes it falls on us with q suddenness that reveals in us emotions we could not dream. The sweep of voices dazzle us, the glimpse of the glories stir us, and for many d day the soul. aches and longs with untold longings There are few more bitter moments in life than those m which our tears fall as we look for the last time upon the white face of our beloved dead; God does not grudge us these tears. They are natures relief, and heavens preparation for soothing our hearts Our departed brother has passed into the beyond.

 "It will be a sad day to us when we cease to hold tnemorial services in memory of our beloved dead.
