Farrell & keefe
In New Location
Former North Redwood Firm in
New Quarters on Mill and
Second Streets

Farrell and Keefe who have
been actively engaged in busi-
ness at North Redwood for many
years past, have partially COM
pleted their new building on the
corner of Mill and Second Streets
and have moved into it a portion
of their large stock of farm i'm
plements. The remainder of
their stock will be moved in by
December Is. Beside it's stock
Of farm machinery, this firm
handles pianos and REQ cars and
ample provision has also been
made for these in the new build
ing.
So far only the basement of
the 40 by 120 foot build
ing, has been completed, the
second story to be added as soon
as the building season opens in
the spring. This second floor
will be used for a complete stock
of stoves, household machinery,
shelf hardware, etc.
The basement which is well
lighted and conveniently ar
ranged, will be used as a ware
house. A carload of wagons and
spreaders was put into it last
week, and so large is the floor
space that this quantity of stock
covers only a very small portion
of it.
An office is also under con-
struction on the basement floor
"a comfortably heated, we'll
lighted room, large enough for
al ordinary business purposes:
This room will be completed and
furnished within the week.
Two large double doors make
the warehouse easily accessible
from either the side front or
rear side, and provision has been
made for freight elevator
which will be installed as the
second story is constructed. The
building will be heated from the
central heating plant, being
heated temporarily with stoves.
When completed it will be one
Of the most modern and COM
plete business houses Of the city.

Last Game Is
RedWo0d'S Defeat
Splendid Thanksgiving Game
Ends in Score of Z to
for Renville
SEASONS BEST GAME
Largest Crowd Ever on Local
Field Witness Hard Fought
Struggle

The last game of the 1916
football season was played last
Thursday with Renville. before
the biggest Thanksgiving Day
crowd Redwood has ever had.
The final whistle left the score
{ to 0 in Renville's favor, after
the most evenly fought battle
of the year.
In the third quarter after Red
wood had pushed Renville with
IN her own 30-yard line, Renville
punted a long high drive which
landed within Redwood's 20-yd.
line about four yards from the
side line. The ball struck the
ground and bounded high above
the head of the Redwood half
back, who, in attempting to
catch it, fumbled. Renville re-
covered. With three plays off
Redwood's left and a line smash
the oval was pushed over for
the only touchdown of the game.
Instead Of trying to make a
catch Redwood should have al
lowed the ball to roll out of
bounds. It would then have been
put in play in Redwood's possess
sion on their 2O-yd. line. Hence
the tumble cost them the game.
NO other game on the local
field this season has been so
evenly fought. The score would
indicate that neither team out
played the other. The game was
the best exhibition of football
played by the team at home or
away from home, and except for
the score, was a fine ending for
the season.
The excellent refereeing of
Thursdays game was a redeem
ing feature of the officiating.
The referee was continually
bothered by umpire Carlstrom
of Renville who seemed to con-
sidered it his chief duty to call
Oft side on Redwood and to be
blind to similar violation by Rem
vile. The betting element from
both towns got some idea of
clean sports when the referee
compelled the Renville time
keeper to release his position be-
cause he had a bet on the team.
Markley's stand on this ques-
tion called forth the commen-
dation of the majority Of the
side lines, as there is nothing
that will destroy clean sports so
quickly as betting. 1t is hoped
that high school sports make es-
cape the scourge of the gambler.

request of The Gazette, written
the following concerning these
fundamental changes
If the old grads of Redwood
Falls High School, who knew
the building as it was last
spring, should step into their
alma mater this year, they
might not feel at home. For the
fifty by sixty foot addition on
the east end has changed al
most every partition in the en-
tire building, and enabled the
high schoc. authorities to give
more room to nearly every de-
partment in the school.
Agriculture
The departments Of Agricul-
ture and Manual Training, on
the basement floor, show per-
haps the greatest improvement.
Where last year the recitation
and laboratory work in Agricul-
ture were carried on in the same
room there is now a separate
recitation room and large lab
oratory for seed and soil analy-
sis, with a small adjoining room
for seed testing. Ample space
for seed corn drying, etc., is af-
forded by the condition of the
new room. The best laborator-
les for courses in Agriculture,
however, such as Field Crops,
Farm Engineering and Animal
Husbandry, are the field, the
implement shop, and the stock
barns. The instructor has en-
deavored to supplement the
theoretical work Of the text by
practical work outside the school
room, with results that have
been very satisfactory. 1t is
hoped that the Agricultural De-
partment may meet an actual
need in this community, espe-
cially in the experience of the
boys who expect to remain on
or return to the farm.
Manual Training
Last year some very fine re-
suits were obtained in Manual
Training Department with the
work benches and machinery
crowded into a small room in
one corner of the basement. This
year the basement floor of the
entire addition has been devoted
to Manual Training. In the north

Jack MCGUIRE !
Again Behind ais
Charge of Highway Robbery
Brought Against Young Man
after Sanborn Robbery

Jack Mcclure is again an in
mate of the county Jail, having
been committed to the care Of
Sheriff Hassenstab again last
Saturday. "Jack" might still be
at liberty if it were not for his
deep affection for these parts
which brings him trai ing newt
ably back to the scenes of his
many depredations.
This time he was arraigned on
a charge of highway robbery
and although he did not confess
to having turned the trick, he
was identified by one of his vic
tins. The crime of which he is
accused took place one night last
June, when Halvor Dahl and a
companion by the name Of Clark,
thinking it a good lark boarded
gravel train at Springfield to
come to Lamberton. While the
train was side-tracked for a short
time ait Sanborn the highway
man put in an appearance and
with a little persuasion, enforced
by six shooting argument set
tier, the young men were in
duced to turn their pockets in
side out. Although it was not
know that Mcclure was in this
part of the country at that time,
he was suspected and a look out
kept for him. However, nothing
was heard of him until he ar
rived in Springfield last week.
Upon being recognized, County
Attorney Emerson was notified
and Marshal Mike Moore went
there and brought him to Lam
berton Friday.--Lamberton Star.

War Game Ends:
Men Back In Camp
Boys of Second Reg't. Stand Up
Well under Hard Work, Cold,
And Short RatiOns

Inc Hefa4d, puDllSned at
Brownsville, Texas, gives a very
complete and interesting account
Of the recent maneuver in which
the Company l. boys of Redwood
Falls, took part, the maneuver
being held on the historic Re-
SAGA de la Palma battlefield in
Texas. The account is too long
to be reprinted in this issue of
The Gazette but it closes with
this generalization Of the work
and its results:
Thus ends the maneuver Of
nine days duration in which the
officers and men have expert
enced al the hardships of war.
They have made long marches !;
have attacked and defended po-
sitions, and night and day have
been doing strenuous work. The
hardship incurred during the
long hours of night by the out
posts stationed far in advance
of the line, during the very cold
weather that has prevailed, has
not been small.
''The men have lived upon a
meager field ration, in many ca
ses having to cook it themselves.
Nevertheless, and in spite of ali
these things, the military spirit
Of the men has been such that
they would gladly continue this
semblance Of war and are only
sorry that the maneuvers must
cease. Due to the fact that this
maneuver of $4,000 men was con-
Quoted by trained troops, and
not largely by unframed militia
as is usually the case, these man
euvers-which are probably the
largest that have ever taken
place in this country, are GER
tainly more instructive than any
that have preceded them. In this
all officers of the regular army
who have taken part in them
concur.
Much credit is due to the eff
fcient services Of the quarter
master department, which has
so arranged things that every
where the troops have gone they
have been supplied with good
water (often carried on railroad
trains, trucks and wagons), with
forage for the horses and ra-
tions for the men. In addition
the signal and medical corps
have been most efficient. The ar
tillery and cavalry have done
their part well, but the greatest
praise must be reserved for the
magnificent regiments Of infan-
try, who have marched and dug
and fought in a manner which
has earned the praise of all COM
petent observers"
The Minneapolis Journal Of
last Friday makes the following
statement:
"The Second Minnesota infan-
try, the dispatch said, was told
by the division quartermaster
at Brownsville that the Second
had the largest soldiers and kept
the best alignment of any regi-
ment that appeared before Brig
adler General James Parker at
the recent Brownsville review"
