The territory which supplies the
cream for this promising industry in
cludes the southern part of Renville
County and the farms about Wabas-
so, Clements, Seaforth, Delhi, Nor

ronage of two hundred, eighty-six
farmers. That the business is SO
large and so constantly growing is
due in large measure to the interest

shown. Four drivers now make daily

of improvements made in machinery
and equipment.
Sees Big Increase
There has been an increase of rath-
er more than thirty per cent in the
business of the current month COM
pared with the same time year ago
and this with prices for butter and
butter-fat the same. While this Is
partially due to weather conditions
which have produced excellent pastur-
agesAlt is more because Of increased
patronage by the owners Of the fine
dairy COWS Of which Redwood Coun-
ty is justly proud. These owners
have been inspired with confidence BY
the clean business methods and CO.
operative spirit shown by the man
agement Of the business, and have
IN turn combined with this manage
ment TO make the business one of
increased and permanent value to all
concerned. The satisfied patrons and
STEADY customers are the two biggest
assets of the concern.

Bigger and Better
M. & St. |. Depot
Ladies Waiting Room And Heated
Freight House To Added in
Near Future
CHANGES TO BE MADE SOON
Commercial Clubs Of North Redwood
and Redwood Falls Responsible
For Proposed Improvements

Jos. R. Keefe, Secretary of the
North Redwood Commercial Club was
notified yesterday morning that the
officials of the Minneapolis and ST..
Louis had taken action upon the pro-
posed improvements in the depot at
North Redwood. AS a result there
will be several changes for the bet
ter made in the present depot, chief
among them being a waiting room
for ladies and a freight room kept
warm enough in cold weather so that
the perishable freight will not be in
jured by cold weather.
Up to these this time the lady
travellers on the M. & ST. L. have
been distinctly uncomfortable and
often annoyed by not having a wait
ing room for their exclusive use, and
shippers of produce have often sus-
tanned loss by having their merchan-
disc frozen while in the freight house.
Both difficulties will be removed and
many other minor annoyances cor
rected.
The fact that the improvements are
to be made is due largely to the
energy of Mr.. Keefe, who, working
as the secretary of the commercial
club, was very persistent in his eff
forts to have a hearing at which the
unsatisfactory state of the depot ac-
commodations might be plainly set
before the directors of the railway
and in pleading the cause of the pat
rons of the road at the hearing held
recently at Hotel Weiss. Mr.. Keefe
was energetic in the cause even when
the case seemed particularly hope
less, because of the financial condi-
ton of the railway management, and
was enthusiastically supported in his
efforts by the other members of the
Club as well as the Commercial Club
of Redwood Falls. Work on the pro-
posed changes at the depot will be-
gin very soon

d-Fashioned Celebration
At North Redwood July 4
Speeches, Music, Street Entertain
ments. and Decisive Ball Game
Features Planned
PICNIC LUNCHEON AT NOON
F. Hassenstab Will Lead Tug-Of- War
Against Renville County; Good
Fireworks in The Evening

People who have sighed for a
genuine old-fashioned Fourth of July
celebration, will find the celebration
scheduled for North Redwood to gra-
tify all their wishes in that respect.
The day will begin with street attrac-
tons at eleven o'clock, and there will
be something doing, constantly and
all the time, from then until the last
firework pops in the evening.
Chas., Fleischer, the President of
the Commercial Club, is chairman of
the committee on arrangements, and
that in itself signifies success. Mr..
Fleischer is an untiring and unceas-
ing worker, is popular with the other
members to degree that insures
their earnest cooperation, and has the
executive ability to pull off any num-
Der Of celebrations. Under his di-
rection the entertainment committee
has planned a full program, every
number enjoyable.
Hon. F. w. Johnson, of New Ulm,
a brother of Gov. John A. johnson,
and a speaker of reputation, will
give the main address of the day. Sen.
Frank Clague and Judge A. C. DOL
lift will also speak and other promi-
nent men will be asked to address
the audience.
The ball game between the Danube
and Bird Island Clubs promises IN
usual interest, because it is thsethifd
game between these two clubs, each
having won one Of the two already
played. In the first game, ten in
ming contest, the score stood to O.;
in the second game it was 2 to 8;
these scores indicate that the Clubs
are evenly matched and inasmuch as
the purse for the coming game is
500, the game will be scrappy with
out a doubt. As,,p,.
Sheriff Hassenstab, who lays awake
nights to think upon reasons for
pulling" someone, is to have his
golden opportunity on this occasion,
having been made the head Of the
Redwood Count team in the tgg-qf-
war contest with Renville County.
One Renville man remarked that he
was plumb discouraged after having
taken look at the Sheriff, and he
thought Renville's sole hope lay in
borrowing Mary from tie Sparks
Company.
There will be many other attrac-
tons suitable to a celebration which
aims to give people taste of real
eld-school holiday There will be
foot races horse races, wrestling
match, at six o'clock, music by a

North Redwood is an ideal spot

Hail Storm Causes
Heavy Crop Losses
Wheat, Rye And Barley Crops Ruined
Near New Ulm; Loss Amounts To
Many Thousand Dollars
HAIL STONES ARE ENORMOUS
Wind Carries Wagon Onto Tent; WOm-
an Slightly Injured; Telephone
Lines And Windmills Wrecked

One of the worst storms expert
enced in years struck this city and
nelghborhood Thursday evening at
about $3.50 o'clock, causing heavy los
ses in some of the nearby rural dis
tricts, where hailstones, in some in
stances as large as baseballs practi-
cally ruined large tracts of the stand
ing barley, rye and wheat crop.
Although number of trees and
fences were blown over in the city
by the wind little damage resulted,
which is attributed to the fact that
New Ulm escaped the chosen path of
the storm. Near CORTLAND village a
large wagon was picked up by the
wind and dropped onto a tent, which
at the time was occupied by several
land seekers, from Davenport, Ia, who
are on their way to South Dakota
via the team route. One of the wom-
en- was seriously injured by the fall
ing wagon. It is expected, however
that sne will recover.
Milford Hit Hard
Reports received from the neigh
boring districts show severe hail
damages. In Milford all small grain
was badly damaged by hail. At the
Otto Schreyer farm hail as large as
baseballs, measuring from 3 to A inch.
es in diameter, were picked up after
the storm. The crops were practical.
| ly ruined especially the small grains
The live stock was endangered by the
falling hail and scores of turkeys
were killed. Apparently the storm
stretched out over q path about two
miles in width.
Makes Wide Path
The storm came from the north ano
the swath of the hail damage is al
the way from two to four miles wide
In many instances there is a tota
loss on standing grain. The storm
also struck Linden and Lake Hans
ka. Although the corn suffered Sc
verely in most instances the stalks
withstood the pressue of the hail
stones and stripped stalks remain
1t is expected that most of the corr
will recover.
Loss Is Heavy
The damage by hail will mean
loss to the farmers living in the
storm Travelled district, of many thou
sands of dollars, as nearly all tht
small crops, or at least large sec.
tons of the growing crops have beer
luined.

DOCTOR DUTY'S ADVICE.

Don't knock your boss or
the business you are in.
If you don't like your boss,
tell him so-don't go rapping
him behind his shoulder blades.
If you don't like the business
your boss is in, get out of it.
You can resign any day, you
know-there is no string to you
the business will chisel right
along after you have gone.
But for the love of Pete, don't
let your boss keep you in three
squares per day; don't let him
keep on giving you an oppor-
tunity to pay for clothing, rent
and other necessities Of life,
if you are going to stab him
in the back.
If you can't be loyal, get out.

Turn and Turn About.


1t was sometimes the custom Of pro.
fessors in former times to give free
tickets for their courses-a kindness
that was sometimes abused. In 1.-THE
Book Of Edinburgh Anecdotes" Francis
Watt tells how the famous DR.. John
Barclay, extramural lecturer on anat.
omy at the University Of Edinburgh
between 1907 and 1926, once applied
a humorous corrective to an imposition
Of this kind.
He received note from DR.. Laing,
the we'll known antiquary, requesting
free ticket for young medical stu.
dent. Barclay protested himself de.
lighted to confer the favor, but invited
the pupil to accompany him to DR..
Laing's bookshop, where he selected
books on anatomy to the exact value Of
ticket for his course Of lectures.
Then. sagely remarking that without
textbooks his lectures were useless, he
presented the books to the astonished
youth as gift from DR.. Laing. he
would not listen to the young mans
expostulation, but bundled him and the
books out Of the shop. He did not find
1t necessary to repeat the lesson.
