Construction of
City Hall Will
Begin VerySoon
John Schilt Awarded Contract
for Construction of NUM-
cipal Building
WILL COST $685. COMPLETE
Electric Fire Siren Ordered
Shipped and Installed for
Thorough Trial

At a special meeting of the
City Council Monday evening
bids for the construction of the
new municipal building were
opened and the contract let.
John Schilt was awarded the
contract for construction, his
bid being for 1896 for building
complete with wiring, plumbing
and heating plant, construction
to comply in all details with the
plans and specifications held by
the council.
Other bidders were w. P. Rice
who bid $500, A. A. Carkuff
S7,700, and the J. B. Nelson Con-
struction Company of Mankato,
whose bid was somewhat higher
than Mr.. Carkuff's.
Funds for the new building
are already in the hands of the
Council, the $1,000 bonds voted
by the city having been taken
in State bonds at 40. The con-
tract specifies that the construc-
ton should begin a once and be
pushed toward completion as
rapidly as is compatible with
good work.
Buy Fire Siren
The Council also decided to
purchase an electric fire alarm
system Of the siren model and
the instrument will be ordered
at once. The cost will be $255
exclusive of freight and install
lation which will approximately
cost another $75.
Temporarily the alarm will
probably be installed for trial
on the store building of the Jaeh-
ming Hardware Company. After
a thorough test it will be in
stalled, if found satisfactory, on
the new building where the fire
bell will also be installed for use
in emergency. The siren system
will be operated by a switch at
the telephone exchange with q
second switch in the municipal
building.

A Letter To Students
Redwood Falls High School
Redwood Falls, Mimi,
July 1915

Greetings to Students:
Are you going to High School
this fall? If so, why not consid-
er the advantages of Redwood
High?
It is good live school with
230 students, and eleven teach
ers, located in one of the clean
est little cities in southwestern
Mimi, Redwood Falls, known as
the ''Scenic City," because of it's
beautiful surroundings.
Courses are offered in agri-
culture, manual training, domes-
tic science and music in addi-
ton to the outlined high school
course, and the school is large
enough to do very effective work
in some of the additional fea-
lures of school life, as literary
work, debating and athletics.
The debating team last year
reached the semi-finals in the
state debating league, and 9TH
er lines of activity were repre-
sented by the boys and girls
glee clubs and chorus; the Art
club; the Camera club; and the
Boys club, each doing effective
work along it's line.
Along athletic lines, the school
sets a high mark, and especially
is this true in foobatll, as the
1914 record will show. The 10
cal team scored 350-32 points,
playing such teams as Willmar,
Montevideo, Window, Faribault,
Madison, Humboldt, st. Paul
and Manchester college. The out
look for the coming season is
splendid.
Think it over, and if you are
going to High School, come to
a good school. Living accomo-
dations are good, and quite rea-
sonable. Write Supt. D. S. Brain
ard or P. v. Finley.
Sincerely,
P. v. FINLEY,
Inst. in Agriculture
Faculty Ath. Mngr.

Track; Edna Parker Gets

Reports of two race horses
well-known in Redwood Falls

Happy Heart, 2:16A, the
Minnesota four-year-old PAGER,

Oyerdafts Make
Their Final Exit
Depositors And Bankers Liable
to Fine of $500 for Over
drawn Accounts

The game of Escape the
Overdraft" will become more ex-
citing and more interesting now
that the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue has arbitrarily ruled
that the loser shall pay 5000 for
each separate and distinct close. :"
Under the new ruling the win
ner gets the same prize as be-
fore-the feeling of conscious
power which an underdrawn
bank balance carries with it,
as stated by the few fortunate
possessors.
According to the recently pub
lished ruling checks creating or
increasing an overdraft are &C
acknowledgement Of debt and, to
quote from the ruling, must
be stamped accordingly; that
is, at the rate of two cents for
every hundred dollars or frac-
ton thereof.
Both the person drawing the
check and the bank paying it
are accused of being parties to
fraud and are subject to fine
of 5000 each every time an over
draft occurs.
Somebody is always taking
the joy out of life!

Christopher Poe managed to find the
place where the burro boy with the

the caravan. On questioning the
youth he learned that the person who
had given him the glass ring was a
man, an American, with sombrero, a
suitcase, and red water-bottle.

"There!" cried the Mexican. THAT
upsets your theory at the very start.
Christopher Poe only smiled, thrust
the fine needle he had found at the

set out alone, but for servant to re.
turn with Terranovas horse.
BY reckless riding down the STUN.
bly, stony trail Poe managed to just
make the train. Settling himself com
fortably in day coach, he occupied
the time till midnight reading novel,
then he dozed until nearly three
o'clock, when the train pulled in at
Mexico City.
Having left his suitcase with no
tel runner at the station, Poe sum
moned cab and asked the driver In
Spanish: Where is most Of the fun

The Metropole Is the place. Every
body is there. It Is just beginning.

Mexican directly, your suspicious are
absurd. You are only excited beyond
your self-control by this great loss.

fine needle here in my fingers | can

He held up an exceedingly fine en-
broidery needle. The other two men
stared at it wonderingly.
What do you argue from that?"
asked Senior Terranova anxiously.
TT is something accidentally drop
ped by the person who robbed your
safe of it's historic treasure. Look at
it carefully" He dropped the needle
on his palm and held it out plainly be-
fore the wondering eyes of the anxious
pair. What would you argue from
that needle?"
Neither spoke, but both stood star
ing silently at the thin hair Of steel.
you don't use a needle in any part
of your business, do you?"
NO." answered Reichmann slowly.
"I'll give you this much of hint.
This Is the finest make Of embroidery
needle; 1t Is made in Japan" said Poe,
smiling grimly, Doesn't that suggest
anything?"
THAT it was a Japanese who rob-
bed the safer" cried Senior Terranova
shrewdly.
Maybe one of those little Japanese
professors that come here sometimes
to study the mines!" cried Reich
mann illuminatingly.
Eyes, was it," added the anxious
Mexican.
Few men, even Japanese. use fine
little embroidery needles like this
smiled Poe. II don't believe any Jap.

"A woman, then? A Japanese
woman?" cried Reichmann.
II leave that to your vivid imagina-

would like to assure Senior Terranova,
he bowed to that gentleman, that his
suspicious are quite false, and that If
he will agree to keep the matter quiet
will guarantee to give him news of
the real thief within five days"
But what guaranty have II" asked
the Mexican sullenly.
"You have done business with our
