Board of Education
Rejects All Bids
Lowest Bid Found to Exceed
$4,000; Building Must Be
Postponed

The bids for the construction
Of the proposed addition to the
high school building were opened
by the Board Of Education, as
previously advertised. last Tues
day afternoon.
The lowest bid on a structure
such as the Board proposed con-
structing, was found to be an
aggregate sum of over $37, 900.
AS bonds to the amount Of only
$4,000 were voted at the spec
ial election held for that pur-
pose, the Board was forced to
abandon all plans until more
money is forthcoming. This will
mean a delay of some time be-
fore the crowded condition of
the school buildings is relieved.

Redwood Falls was host Mon
day evening to a company OF
eighty-five business men of Min
neapolis, representing as many
big business interests of their
city. The visit to Redwood Falls
was the close of the first
day a weeks tour of ter
ritory tributary to Minneap-
! oils, which is being made by the
members of the Minneapolis
Civic and Commerce Associa-
ton. The tourists left Minneap.

See Ramsey Park
Redwood Falls citizens met
the guests at North Redwood
where a brief stay was made
during which the First Infantry
Band which is accompanying the
tourists, gave a short concert.
Following this the men were
shown the beauties of Ramsey
Park and brought to The Kahler.
Here the guests took the enter
tainment into their own hands,
r.. C. Hillwig, secretary of the
Association, having arranged
for fine band concert and a
moving picture show which de-
lighted the heart Of the younger
generation which was well rep
resented in the large crowd gath
cred to meet the Minneapolitans.
Sen. Frank Clague made a
short address of welcome which
was responded to by ]. C. Van
Doom of the Portland Cement
Company. Mr.. Clague also in
troduced Geo.. D. Dayton Of the
Dayton Company who gave ]
short but interesting talk on the
aims of the tour, and the tour
lists appreciation of the country
visited in their first days trip.
incidentally Mr.. Dayton ex-
pressed his surprise and enjoy
ment of the manifold beauties
surrounding Redwood Falls.
After meeting the people of
Redwood Falls, and getting ac-
quainted with as many as posi-
BILE and attending the dance at
the Armory the guests returned
to the train at Norh Redwood,
continuing their journey west
ward early Tuesday morning, to
Watertown, S. D., where they
spent Tuesday night.
Want to Get Acquainted
The tourists plan is to get
acquainted with as many of the
people along the route as posi-

ness of Few Days; Funeral
Services Tuesday
FIFTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD
Had Been Employed for Last
Eight Years in COunty's Rural
Mail Service r~rA

G. B. Ashford died at his home
at Redwood Falls Sunday after
noon, May 30, at three o'clock
after an illness of only a few
days. Mr.. Ashford complained
of not feeling we'll Tuesday night
but was not believed to be seri-
ously i'll until he became uncon-
scious while dressing Wednes.
day morning. Death was caused
by hardening of the arteries
with apoplexy a contributary
cause. Mr.. Ashford never re-
gained consciousness from the
first attack Wednesday morning,
gradually growing weaker until
his death Sunday afternoon.
Funeral services were held

terment was made in the Red
wood Falls cemetery. The pail
bearers were: G. G.. Thune, ].

Genio B. Ashford was born
October II, 1857, at Calcutta,

was nineteen when he moved,
with his family to Nevada, Iowa.
Here he was married to jose
phine Stephenson and they made

,, Mr.. Ashford is also survived by
his brother, w. F. Ashford, Of
Washington, D. c., who was I'm
able to come to the funeral be-
cause of i'll health, and one sis
ter, Mrs. Mary Carr, who recent
ly moved from Redwood Coun-

For the past eight years Mr..
Ashford had served faithfully
and efficiently as a rural carrier
from the local postoffice, where
he was at all times a willing and
competent worker, making him
self of great value to the Office
and to the patrons of the route
on which he worked. The Ga
zette extends sympathy to the
bereaved wife and children.

More Telephone
Lines To Be Built
Redwood County Rural Tele-
phone Company Making Ex-
tentiOns to Lines

The Redwood County Rural
Telephone Company is planning
for an extension of it's lines into
Renville County. The new wires
will be strung on the present
poles for distance of about
eight miles from Redwood Falls
and between six and seven miles
Of new line, branching off in sew
eral directions, built from there.
Twelve new patrons have al
ready asked for the service and
several others are about ready
to contract for the phones.
The company, under the man.
agement of Bert Kleaver, who is
assisted by a most able board
of directors, has been very ac-
tive during the past year and
the usefulness Of these rural
lines has been greatly increased.
Forty-four new phones have
been added since the annual
meeting in January, and Mr..
Kleaver expects at least a hun
dred new ones will be put into
use before the close Of 1915.
The line between, Wanda and
Wabasso has recently been ex-
tended, the line crew is now at
work on a new line at Morgan
and as soon as work there is fin
ished the Renville County extern
sion will be made.

Shutdown Mothers
Have Fine Meeting
Mothers Club Meeting Interest.
ing and Instructive; Supt. A.
G.. Pratt Gives Fine Talk

The Shutdown Mothers Club
held a. most interesting meeting
at the home of Mrs. Robt. Ped
erson last Thursday afternoon.
The meeting was very well at
tended, all the members being
present, and all taking an active
part in the various numbers of
the program.
The topic for the days pro
gram was sex hygiene in it's re
lation to the moral and physical
training of children. The pro-
gram consisted of the club
hymns and other songs, the read
ing of poetical quotations on the
club topic and several we'll Sc
lected and we'll read selections
on the necessity and method of
imparting to small children the
vital knowledge of life.
Mrs. Pratt Talks
Supt. Adella G. Pratt was
present and gave an interesting
and instructive talk on the sub
ject Of the day. Mrs. Pratt
urged the necessity of co-opera-
ton between mothers and teach
ers, cited some instances of the
tragedies which had occurred to
children through the neglect of
the parents, called attention to
some of the needs of rural school
houses in the way of proper
buildings, equipment and play
ground apparatus. Mrs. Pratt
showed herself fully in harmony
with the spirit manifested by
the Club as we'll as appreciative
of the excellent work being done
by it. Following Mrs. Pratt's
talk a short discussion of the
question was held after which
the hostess served a luncheon
of sandwiches, cake and coffee.
A Live Town
Shutdown is, in many respects,
the banner township of the coun-
| ty, having inaugurated many
progressive movements which
have united to make it one of
the finest farming communities
in the state. A splendid Farm
ers Club works in hearty CO.
operation with the Mothers Club,
the two uniting in the work of
improving the neighborhood con-
ditions, providing social enter
tainment for the young people
of the neighborhood and foster
ing the community spirit in ev-
cry way. The recently erected
school building, which is one of
the finest in the county, has been
made the centre of social activi-
ties. Here was held, last fall,
a township exhibit of farm and
household products which was
worth going many miles to see,
and throughout the year, many
meetings of instruction and en-
tertainment have been held here.
At these meetings nationalities
and religious denominations
have been entirely forgotten, the
men and women remembering
only that they are all residents
of one locality and that locality
is Shutdown.

Students Make a
Display of Sewing
and Wood Work
Girls Make Commencement
Gowns While Boys Make
Chests and Tables
BEST EVER SHOWN HERE
Much Credit Due to Miss Peick
and Mr.. Lukens for Splendid
Results Obtained

During the past few days the
residents of Redwood Falls and
vicinity have been shown in d
most forceful manner, just what
has been accomplished in the
domestic science and manual
training departments of the Red.
wood Falls high school. While
the work in these departments
has been excellent since the adj
dition of these courses to the
school curriculum, the displays
made in sewing and wood work
ing have never before been 50
large nor shown such perfection
of workmanship.
Fine Sewing Done
The showing of wearing ap-
parel and household articles on
view in the H.. G. Schmahl dis
play windows, represents a part
of the work done by the sewing
classes under the instruction OF
Miss Ada Peick. Many pieces
were omitted because of lack of
space. The articles include many
exquisitely dainty dresses, made
entirely by the girls, many of
them to be worn as graduation
gowns at the exercises Friday
night. Several of the seniors,
not content with making the
dress, have added beautiful sets
of lingerie on which are touches
of hand stichery and embroid-
cry. Others have also made COM
plete outfits, and aprons, wash
skirts, pillow cases and towels
of real beauty and utility are
shown by girls of the under
classes. The collection makes d
splendid exhibit of the work that
can be accomplished by inexperi-
enced girls if given the benefit
of trained instruction such as
these girls have had throughout
the year.
Make Many Articles
Earlier in the year the boys
of the manual training classes
showed many of the articles they
had made. The number of these
articles has been remarkably in
creased during the intervening
months, and the perfecting of
the workmanship has been quite
as markable. At the E. A. Pease
store are shown large articles
including screens, tables, chests,
stools, chairs and pedestals,
while at the Lauterbach Confec-
tionery are the turned pieces, all
of which are beautiful. Each
piece must be carefully designed
and planned and well executed
blue print drawing made by the
student before the actual wood
work is begun. In some in
stances these blue prints are
shown with the finished article
and add greatly to the interest.
Every piece shown is well de-
signed and splendidly made and
when the serious handicap OF
limited space in which the work
is done, is considered, the results
are truly remarkable.
Have Good Teachers
While great credit is due the
students in both courses for the
fine results obtained and for the
spirit in which they have worked
throughout the year, Redwood
Falls is to be congratulated upon
having Miss Peick ard Mr.. Lu-
kens to guide the boys and girls
in this work which is of such
Importance in the training of the
students. The schools are also
to be congratulated upon the
return of Miss Peick and Mr..
Lukens to the work of the next
cohoO1 x1nar
