Austin, the county seat of Mower
County, is a thriving city of approx
mately 10000 people. She ranks as
the fifteenth city in population in the
state of Minnesota, and her rapid
growth can be attributed only to her
favorable location in the heart of the
rich country of Southern Minnesota
and the wise administration of her
many varied industries. Austin is

cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
and is located on the main line of the

R. GIBSON.

For five years has Mr.. R. C. Glib
son has been engaged in the general
hardware business, handling stoves
and implements of all makes and
kinds. In stopping in and looking
over what Mr.. Gibson has on hand,
one is impressed with the versatility
of the stock and the keen adaptation
to local conditions as manifested in
same. The stoves and ranges oc-
cupy a good bit of floor space and
command attention by reason Of their
completely modern appearance with
all those little improvements which
go to tighten the housewives burden.
The cooking utensil is not left out of
sight, either, and many a cook will
be astonished to learn just how many
different utensils there are which she
could use to immense advantage did
she but know of them. And this is
the place to wise up. Mr.. Gibson has
nicely displayed supply of rifles and
shotguns, ammunition to fit them, as
we'll as several hunters accessories.
A choice line of paints, oils, and glass
fill one part of the store, while you
can go just as far as you please with
the washing machines, separators,
lawn mowers, and the smaller variety
of implements used largely in the
nearby vicinity. There's lot of peo-
pie drop in to see what Rollie has,

MAKE TIP HELP OUT.
Western League Club Owners May
Cut President O'NeiIl's Salary.

Sioux City, Ia, June ia move
ment is on foot in the Western league
to cut President Tip O'Neills salary
SO per cent. This is in line with the
presidents statement that the players
of the league accept a cut in order
that the club owners of the league
could realize a profit on the invest
ment and also keep the Western
league going during the 1915 season.
Hughie Jones, owner of the Lincoln
baseball club, is leading the move
ment, and it is understood has the
hearty cooperation of the majority of
the other club owners of the league.
1t is also understood that "Pa"
O'Rourke, owner of the Omaha club
who has been one of O'Neill's right
hand men for years, is in favor of the
proposed cut and will voice his ap-
prevail with vote in favor of the mo-
ton when it is put at the meeting of
the Western league magnates, which
will be held within the near future.
In speaking of the matter Friday
night, Hugh Jones said: II have been
waiting for the Western league meet
ing, and the first thing that I plan to
do is to make a motion asking that the
salary of the president of the league
be cut in half

notified that the price of all shot

Fullerton Brothers stated that this
meant the retail price of shotgun
shells in boxes of IS would have to
be advanced practically 10 cents on
the box.
Members of the local shooting
fraternity state that they expect the
new prices to affect trap shooting
throughout the entire country, and

with shells furnished at the old
price will find themselves in the
hole unless they have already laid
