reached in regard to the great
work that should be done in the
community.
Mr.. Poissent, whose home is
at Sacramento, is making his
present headquarters at Manka-
to-, where he has been for some
time visiting the surrounding
towns and helping to carry on
the great work of the Worlds
Purity Federation. He expects
to remain at Mankato several
weeks longer. He came here
strongly recommended by R. S.
Steadwell, president of the fed

At the last congress held at
San Francisco it was voted to
start a Purity Center and the
Federation already has the free
offer of 100 acres of land at Lew
iston, KY, and valuable prop
erty near Lake Minnetonka ana
Minneapolis. At the next Con-
gress will be considered the mat
ter Of raising money to erect
buildings at this Center. It is

plant, a training school for
teachers, a hospital and two
rescue homes, one for men and
one for women where the fallen

How Minnesota
Schools Get Aid
School Patrons Are Informed
How Money for Running
Schools Is Obtained

'The special state aid to

This revenue fund is derived
from the various sources of tax

heritance tax, telephone and tele-

For the year ending July 81,

which approximately $2,778, 900
was derived from the general

Dry Victory Taken
to Supreme Court
Appeal from Judgment Filed by
Attorney Pfaender Thursday
with Supreme Court
PIPESTONE CASE
STILL UNSETTLED
Judge |. M. Olsen Declares Red
wood County Dry by
Two Votes

Albert Pfaender, attorney for
the Redwood County license fac
ton, filed an appeal from iudg-
ment in the county option cleo
ton, last Thursday, and the
state supreme court will now de-
eide whether the county will re-
main dry or return to the wet
ranks. Action was taken by the
vets on the last of the thirty
days allowed for settlement, to
tide the contest over. In this way
six months time was obtained
in which to make an appeal and
after the judgment was entered,
the formal steps were taken for
the appeal.
After the recount by the can
vassing board, Judge I. M. Oh
sen found the country dry by
two votes. This is the judg-
ment which is now being ap-
pealed from.
The county option election in
Pipestone County was also TAX
en- to the supreme court and has
not yet been decided. This cleo
ton was very similar in many
ways to the Redwood County
contest and has been watched
closely. It is probable that this
case will be decided within a
short time.

Girls Earn Neat Sum

The girls of the. Domestic Sci

high school assisted by their
teacher Miss Adah Peick, held
a sale of canned goods prepared
in their classes last Saturday
Afternoon. The sale was held
in the Person Land Company
office, the large window of this
office being admirably suited to
display purposes. A fine exhibit
Of canned fruit, conserves and
several varieties of pickles was
made. These goods were sold
at practically what it cost to put
them up and brought nearly
twenty-five dollars. This money
was returned to the public school
fund and more than pays the
bills for materials used by the
cooking classes in the first

HOIStein HeiferS
Stand A.R.O. Test
A. S. Kenney's Herd Tested And
Show Good Results for Young
Cows in Seven Day Test

The Holstein herd purchased
last August by A. S. Kenney
has recently undergone the A.
R. 0. test, three of the young
heifers having been thoroughly
tested according to official rules.
The first freshened September
9 and in the seven days covered
by the test, which were Septem-
Der % to September % inclu-
sive, produced 1924 lbs. of milk
or 9.807 lbs. of butter fat. The
second, in her seven days pro-
duced 296.6 lbs. of milk or 1927
lbs. of butter fat.
The third heifer belongs to
the DeKol family, well-known in
Redwood Holstein circles, and
bears the aristocratic name of
Pride Spring Brook De Kol.
While this heifer has not yet
produced the IS pounds of but
ter fat per day as was recorded
in The Gazette columns of one
member of her famous family,
she did produce, in seven days,
3O0.8 lbs. of milk or 1858 lbs.
of butter fat which is not so
bad for a beginner.
The Kenney herd now con-
sists of twenty-four head, nine
Of them being young calves

j. Frank Jones and T. Inglis
are two other Redwood men who

siasts within the last few

one COW. The two men recently
purchased as a sire one of the
prize-winners at the Redwood
County fair and now have the
beginnings of good dairy herds,
Mr.. Jones erected a second silo
on his farm this fall realizing
that the dairy herd and the silo
must necessarily be found to-
gether.

When you have the money you can

no matter what-if you just have the
money you can go for it and compel
