Against the Ubiquitous Billboard.

Agitation against the billboard
nuisance is lively in many sections and
In spite Of much opposition will not
down. Civic organizations in many
cities are waging more or less bitter
warfare against this universally ac-
3kn0wledged evil. One federation Of
clubs in western state has this to say
In q circular recently issued:
i "Never cease to agitate talk against
the unsightly billbOards and do all
within your power to rid yonr town Of
them. Refuse to patronize firms adj
Eyertising In this manner. They will
soon find out it does not pay them to
use billboards in your town, and you
will have gone a long way toward
Kidding the state of them" An active
campaign for legislation adverse to
this Objectionable form Of advertising
is now going on In numerous. states
and In the end gives promise Of being
successful.

mot Worrying
Say Local Farmers
Redwood County Agriculturists Laugh
at Crop Failure Bugaboo; There's
Nothing To 1t They Say
CORN IS THE BEST IN YEARS
Representative From Five Localities
Give Gazette Favorable Report
on Crop Conditions

Crop-failure predictions have been
pretty prevalent during the last few
weeks particularly from the residents
of the city, who were the least in a
position to know. The farmers who
are best acquainted with the situa-
ton and the conditions admit that
the roads are pretty bad where they
are not graveled, but aside from that
the heavy rains have done little harm
and have been a benefit to the corn
and hay crops.
The Gazette asked several represen-
tative farmers in the vicinity of Red
wood Falls, to give their opinions OF
the outlook and received favorable
report in each instance. The opinions
of these men are given here.
Nothing to Worry About
Thos. Whittet eve haven't had q
bit too much rain yet. Well drillers
tell me the ground isn't wet more
than between two and three feet
given two weeks of dry weather, wee
hear people bowling their heads of

splendid. I've not so closely looked
at the wheat, but should say it isn't
hurt. There's nothing to worry about"
Even Chickens Grow
Henry Petrie: Corn and oats are
looking good and hay is better than
it has been for the last few years.
The wheat has suffered from grow
ing too fast; the straw was weak
and about one fourth of it is lodged,
also some black smut is showing up.
There will be a light crop of apples
and plums the heavy rains at blossom
ing time having been very blighting.
Our strawberries are fine and our
chicken crop is splendid-we had fried
spring chicken yesterday" Here
memory of previous fried chicken at
the Petrie home overcame The ga
zette representative, who was forced
to hang up the receiver.)
Corn Is Ahead
Harry VIM: Crop conditions are
fair and prospects are that we will
have good crop. Corn is about two
weeks ahead of ordinary seasons; il
is knee-high now which we usually
think is the right height for July
Fourth Wheat and oats are not ex-
ira heavy and have apparently not
suffered. Fruits are not extra gooC
and will be light crop"
Things Look Fine
Ira Rogers: Everything looks fine
up this way. Corn is knee-high and
oats and wheat are alright. No
wheat out in this direction is moi

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 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 NJ. & 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 &C
commodations might be plainly sci
before the directors of the railway
and in pleading the cause of the pat
rons of the road at the hearing hele
recently at Hotel Weiss. Mr.. Keeft
was energetic in the cause even wher
the case seemed particularly hope
less, because of the financial condi
ton of the railway management, anc
was enthusiastically supported in hi.
efforts by the other members of tht
! Club as well as the Commercial Clul
of Redwood Falls. Work on the pro
posed changes at the depot will be
gin very soon.

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-
age,lt 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.

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..
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 full program, every
number enjoyable.
Hon. F. W. Johnson, of New Ulm,
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 I'M
usual interest, because it is TIN third
game between these two clubs, each
having won one of the two already
played. In the first game, a ten in
ming contest, the score stood l to O;
in the second game it was 2 to 3;
these scores indicate that the Clubs
are evenly matched and inasmuch as
the purse for the coming game is
S100, the game will be scrappy with
out a doubt. sa,.g.
I Sheriff Hassenstab, who lays awake
nights to think upon reasons for

golden opportunity on this occasion,
having been made the head Of the

One Renyille man remarked that he
was plumb discouraged after having
taken look at the Sheriff, and he
thought Renville's sole hope lay in
