Farmers Call Meeting

A meeting of farmers of Red
wood and Renville Counties who
are interested in a shipping as
ISOLATION is called for next Sat-
urday, March 25, at North Red
wood. The matter of such an

thoroughly discussed at the
meeting held Wednesday at
North Redwood, but because of
a rather small attendance it was
found necessary to call a second
meeting.
The Wednesday meeting was
very interesting in spite of poor
attendance. The speakers were
D. A. Gaumnitz, of St. Paul, G.
S. Weaver Of Olivia, j. E. Neil,
County Agent of Redwood Coun-
ty and County Agent Morris of
Renville County.

Puchase PyrOtechnics for Even
ing Program at 1916 Red
wood County Fair

The officers of the Redwood
County Agricultural Society
have their vision fixed on big
ger and better fair" for 1916
and are constantly thinking of
plans for making it better, even
though the fair dates are still
some five months away.
The latest step taken was the
purchase last Wednesday of the
pyrotechnics to be used at the
evening programs.
Six hundred dollars was the
purchase price of the fireworks
and the list offers a splendid va
riety with sufficient material for
a change of program every
night. Some of the numbers are
marvels of pyrotechnic art in
Guiding a wonderful representa-
ton of Niagara Falls. This piece
is forty feet wide and is perhaps
the most remarkable of all the
selection made. Among the 9TH
ers are Looping The Loop, Sa-
tan's Frolic in The Fountain,
The Land of The Midnight Sun
and the Bouquet of Peace.
Then there are a number of
comic pieces to interest the chill
dren and the grown-ups of a
frivolous turn of mind. Among
these will be found the much
loved Mutt and Jeff, JACKIE The
Monkey, The Funny Grizzly
Baer and numerous others
Among the other features of the
program of fireworks are the
usual rockets, varigated gems

Is Great Success
Second Annual Event by Athle-
tic Society Held at Armory
Last Friday Night

The second annual Circus
Carnival was given by the pu-
pills of the high school at the
Armory Friday evening and was
the great success it's man
agement had hoped it would be.
1t proved anew that the public
loves to be 'stung" occasional
ly as every "sell' invented by
the ingenious and active minds
of the athletic society. was the
source of considerable fun to all
the visitors. The success of
several of these "side shows"
was directly due to the ability
and energy of the barkers, most
of them being professional. John
Murset was especially success
full, drawing many patrons to
the swimming match and the old
mill. Bud Geroy was another
barker who covered himself with
glory-and perspiration.
Arthur Reynolds showed an
undreamed of skill in the use of
firearms, doing some hair-rais-
ing shooting stunts with perfect
sang froid, not even the ire
mendous noise he made startling
him greatly.
There were four visitors from
Brown County that apparently
were greatly amazed and pleased
at every thing shown them. They
were the only out-of-town WIS.,
itors in the crowd of several hun.
dred people. The Gazette was
unable to learn their names but
is quite positive they came from
Brown-they couldn't possibly
have come from any place else
and put up the appearance they
did.

Improves Garage

The Lobdell Garage has re-
Gently undergone a process Of
renovation and remodeling which
improves it's appearance greatly
and makes it one of the best
lighted and most convenient ga
RACES, in this section of Mime
sofa. The walls are now painted
in light gray and the cement
floor in the front of the build
ing has been treated with a
heavy coat of the same color.
The most distinct improve
ment has been made in the small
room at the left of the entrance.
This room has been fitted up as
a United States tire supply room
and is complete in equipment as
we'll as very good to look at. Here
are to be found all the small con-
veniences necessary to the up
to-date motorist as we'll as the
splendid line of tires and tire
supplies put out by the U. S.
Company. Even to one unini
tiated into the mysteries of mo-
tor needs, the display speaks elo-
quently of care in selection and
completeness of stock.
The Lobdell repair depart
ment, under the charge Of Joe
Corbett, has pleasant we'll light
ed quarters at the rear of the
garage. The garage proper is
at present packed with cars
awaiting suitable road and
weather conditions, and through
out the establishment is at at
mosphere of plenty to do-and
efficiency and experience with
which to do it.

A. Eberhdrt viii
Run for Senate
Former Governor Announces
Candidacy for Successor to
Moses E. Clapp

A. O. Eberhart, former gov
ernor Of Minnesota, formally an
nounces his candidacy for Uni
ted States Senator to succeed
Senator Clapp. This announce
ment was made by Mr.. Eberhart
March p. While this step on
Mr.. Eberhart's part has long
been predicted, this is the first
authentic statement of his in
tention.
In the announcement Mr.. Eb-
erhart says:
Among the specific acts
which entitle my candidacy to
consideration by the people of
Minnesota, | wish to refer to
Chapter 176 of the General
Laws of 1905, which gave the
Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission absolute control over
railroad rates; Chapter 1T, Of
the same General Laws, which
forever abolished in this state
the old system of railroad re-
bates; an dChapter 1913 thereof,
which established the State
Highway Commission. The agri-
cultural, industrial and social
center work of my administra-
ton as governor is known and
recognized by every state in the
Union, and the favorable pub
licity given to our state, it's peo-
!! pie and institutions throughout
the nation during the time is
well-known. My appointments,
perhaps the best test of a pub
lie officer, have been uniformly
approved by the people. The
movement to reorganize the adj
ministration of state affairs
along lines Of greater efficiency
and economy is here to stay, and
will succeed as soon as the peo-
pie of the state have realized
its Importance"
He also speaks with directness
and conviction concerning his
policy on the great nationa
questions.

Savior" which was to have been
shown Sunday by Rev. Grover
C. Schurman and The New
Dream management, failed to

quence a large number of peo-

show a number of religious and
moral pictures at Redwood Falls
in the near future, and had an
other booked for next Sunday,
but has cancelled the order as
h wishes to begin the series

troupe is even better than it was
at that time, the old favorites
such as Thorn HELEN, Patsie
Henry and Dixie White still be-
ing members of the cast, and
new members including Babe
Mason who played the title role
and dainty twelve year old Joy
Johnson, having been added. The
comedy was a laugh every min

ness and humor of Patsie and
Babe Mason giving place at times
to graceful dancing or the char
acter singing Of Dixie White.
Next Monday evening the Bos-

This means an entire list of new
songs and new dances.

Heir to Austrian Throne Burdened
 With 15 Cognomens

Vienna, July 1.-The. latest son of the heir to the ro-Hungarian throne was formally christened with great pomp at schoenbrunn on June 8 and given the modest total of fifteen names to carry.
 The young man probably will be called Felix for short, but officially he is now Archduke Felix, Frederick Au- gust, Maria vom Siege, Francis Jos- eph, Peter. Karl, Anton, Robert. Ot- to, Plus, Michael, Benedict, Sebastian, Ignatius, Marcus d'Aviano. A
 His sponsor or godfather was King Frederick August of Saxony, who made special trip to Vienna from Dresden. As representative of the godmother there officiated Countess Lucchesi-Palli nee Princess of Par ma. The solemn service in the Maria Therese room of the palace at Schoen- brunn was conducted by Cardinal and Princely Bishop pr. Piffl.
 Archduke Felix was brought in to the great room by the Countess Thur, with the king of Saxony following close behind He lay wrapped in silks, in silken pillow quite con- tentedly as the formal questions and answers were spoken, and disturbed the ceremony not at all by crying.
 The witnesses included the Elm peror, Francis Joseph. but the baby's father, Karl Francis Joseph, was ab- sent in the field. He has not as yet seen his son.

INST ALL MOVIES
 IN SALOONS FOR
 AMUSING WIVES
Women Accompany Men Under System Adopted in
 London "Pubs"

~ A.5rsdcn. July 17-"Movie" theatres In the saloons are one of the innova- tions made by the government liquor board in it's experiment in direct man. ngement of saloons in the south of Scotland and the north of England, where there are large munition mak- Ing area. Heavy drinking has necessi- lated the step. By remodeling and re- building these saloons the government hopes to increase the comfort of the workers.
 The picture palaces-under the same roof as the saloons-are so ar- ranged that the men who formerly frequented' the saloons in search of amusement, will be able to take their wives. and whether they desire to have drinks or not matters little. The man who does not approve of saloons can find q part set aside for the consump- ton of tea. coffee,t and other soft drinks, The theatre will also be used for concerts and lectures.
 e The experiment is being watched critically. not by the liquor trade but by temperance reformers and prohibi- tionists. In Edinburgh for Instance it has been noticed that the saloons in the experimental area had doubled their receipts since private control and management had been displaced by the government board, and the local religious leaders are contending that the more "model'' and club-like a drtnking-shop is made the more drink pt will sell. Another criticism made by the reform element is that as the new model houses are understood to be exemplary they are not under the same strict police supervision as the ordinary saloons.

DEMAND PUBLIC RELIEF

During the business depression, enormous amounts were spent all over the country for relief of the poor out of public funds. Sinra business inn proved the unemployed are largely at work. Yet there is an ever present demand for public charity. The num- Der of people who expect public help seems to increase.
 Formerly it was considered dis grace to accept public funds. Many people still regard it so. But there are too many who feel that the commun- ity owes them a living, and have no hesitation in asking aims as matter of right. The fact that they receive help from some relative is often con- cealed.
 Different racial clements in eur con- glomerate population have different views on this matter. The Jews, for instance, whatever faults are charged against them, look out very well for each other, and rarely allow their un- fortunates to, seek public help. But among other elements, children feel no particular obligation to support an aged and penniless parent. Brothers and sisters won't help each other. They see the public crib doling out charity freely, and will tell the tmpe- cunious relative to ask assistance from the municipal authorities.
 Administration of charity in many cities tends to be loose. It is about as easy to get an order for groceries as a ticket to a free lecture. Refusal makes an official politically unpopu- lar. But in many small towns where money comes hard and thrift runs close to parsimony, much poverty goes unrelieved. The poor are held down to valued political asset.
 The deserving poor should feel no false shame in seeking aid. But was there ever an unfortunate who did not feel himself deserving? Anyway people who allow near relatives to seek public charity while failing to contribute out of their earnings what they could well afford, perform a mean act, and one, that should stain their family name.
