Mr.. Jones has formed a company,
having as his partner Clyde Jones,
who was a resident of Redwood Falls
about twe nty years ago. The part
ner- are not relatives. The company
is called the Jones' Protecto Com

protector has been received with favor
by many prominent banking and trust
comp anies, having been adopted by
the North Side State Bank, the South
Side State Bank and the Northern
Trust Company of Minneapolis and
endorsed by both the national and
state bankers association, as we'll as
the state association of North Dakota.

Hearing Held on
Judicial bitches
Petition on Proposed Ditch 81 With.
drawn; Ditch Is Ordered
Established

The petition for a judicial ditch,
known as Ditch No. Fl was dismissed
Monday on a motion made by the pc
titioners before the hearing was called.
The petitioners believed that in view
of the opposition shown it would be
better to discontinue proceedings for
furthering the ditch, for the present
at least This was the proposed large
ditch in which Redwood and Yellow
Medicine County were interested.
The final hearing on judicial ditch
No. II also occurred Monday and this
ditch was ordered established. This
ditch effects the western section of
Redwood County and Lyon County.
The engineers estimate of the cost
of this ditch is about $4,000 and
S114,0OO is the amount of the esti-
mated benefits.
The viewers on this ditch were G.
M. Herreman of Lamberton, E. T.
MaAeon of Marshall, and j. Alfred
Johnson of Redwood Falls. The con-
tract for this ditch will be let some
time early this spring.

Scenic City Band
Gives Fine Concert
Audience Well Pleased with Program
cf Selections Played by Local
Musicians
ATTENDANCE is LARGE
Boys Play Better Than Ever before
Showing Result of Careful Train
ing And Hard Work

The Scenic City Band gave con-
cert at the Armory Monday evening
to large audience. The program
was we'll selected and we'll rendered,
every number of it being thorough
ly enjoyed by the patrons. J. j.
Jueneman. the conductor, had put his
players through a severe rehearsal
course and their playing showed fin
ish. Many of the audience remarked
chat they had never heard the band
so thoroughly at its best as in the
Monday evening program.
Perhaps the most thoroughly en-
ioyable number was Won Suppe's
Morning, Noon and Night Overture.
There are passages of wonderful har-
mony and beauty in this selection and
it was splendidly played. Forsaken
by kretschmer and the Grand Chorus
from Gounod's Praise Ye The Father
We're also received most appreciatively
by the audience. The two descrip-
tive selections The Forge in The For
est and The Return of The Scouts
both showed a mastery of technique,
and an appreciation of the subtelties
of harmony by the players.
No member of the organization was
distinguished by the superiority of
his music over that of his band-mates
"a condition which would be detri-
mental to the work in it entirity-
the work of the band as unit was
excellent. Probably the greatest YER
salty was shown by Tony Lauterbach
who handled the traps most credit
ably. This was Tony's first public ap-
pearance as a band member and his
work pleased the audience greatly.
During the intermission between
the two parts of the program the dou-
bic quartet of male voices sang two
well-rendered vocal selections and Mr..
Moores played trombone solo which
was we'll received.

BABY WEEK
MARCH ALL

SIN this country today we
are spending annually several
billion dollars in an effort to
overcome Or relieve the terrible
consequences of blighted baby
hood. Of larger economic mo-
ment than the huge sums of
money and the vast amount of
time spent on the multitude Of
little ones who die in their first
year are the burden and the
peril of the ten thousands who
pull through only to become de-
pendents and, in many instances,
propagators of their kind or
worse,
"To care for the babies today
is to care for our whole future.
Therefore, the observance Of
Baby Week should be as wide
spread as that of the Fourth of
July, for our independence
might easily be wiped out at
some future time by the de-
pendence upon generation OF
unfit men and women"

day, giving Company L its annual in
spection.

Capt. C. F. Gales, commanding Com

longing to the company. Because Of
the excellent system of assigning and
registering all equipment given out,
the inspection only took about an hour
instead of the whole day usually re-
quired for such an inspection. Major
Johnson was highly gratified at the
work of the quartermaster and de-
clared that only one other military
organization passed the equipment in
spection as well. This is the End
Regt. Band at New Ulm.
In the evening the company of near
ly seventy members was inspected
while giving the drill work and Major
Johnson was pleased with the work
done as we'll as satisfied with the at
titude of the men toward the work.
He was most appreciative of the ef-
forts made by the commander, Capt.

suits obtained. The Company is at
present in the best condition for doing
good work that is ever has been and
both officers and men entertain high
hopes of it's future success.
