Evidently Rolf Anne and the sub

Boston to Providence and on the little

no real need of any signal to ley her

Sell Many Silos

The company recently organ
lied for the purpose of manu-
featuring cement blocks and ce-
ment silos, has been more sue
cessful than it had even hoped
to be in the first few weeks Of
it's business. A night shift
will be put on this week and the
plant kept running twenty-four
hours a day, to try to meet the
demand. The company is facing
more untitled orders than it
wishes to and must take siren
uous measures to keep ahead of
the demands upon it. Farmers
of Redwood Falls and vicinity
are thoroughly aroused to the
fact that the money of tomor-
row depends upon the dairy COW
of TO-DAY. and by fall the prairies
will show at least twice as many

During the last year the loss
of property by fire in the state
of Minnesota was nearly five
millions of dollars. By proper
activity along lines which will
tend to do away with the care
lessness by which this loss was
in large measure OccaslOned,
the amount this year undoubt-
edly can be materially reduced.
The heavy SHOWS of the long
winter just passed have caused
an unusually large accumula-
ton of rubbish and waste,
which it is the duty of every
citizen to assist in eliminating,
so that now at the beginning Of
the warmer season all homes
snd buildings may be made, as
far as possible, free from the
danger of fire and at the same
time sanitary and more attrac-
tive.
AS it is desirable that some
particular day be devoted to
this purpose, / hereby desig-
nate the fifth of May, 1916, as
the day on which the attention
of the people should be especi-
ally called to the necessity of
cleaning up their premises and
on which they should become
actively engaged in removing,
wherever located, all insanita-
ry and inf1ammable materials
that may endanger their prop
erty and lives.
In witness whereof, l have
hereunto set my hand and
caused the Great Seal of the
State to be hereunto affixed at
the Capitol of the City of st.
Paul this 10th day of April,
1916.

(Great Seal) Governor.

Lutheran Church
Now independent
st. Johns Church Takes InlpOr-
tant Step in Dissolving Union
with Morton

At the last quarterly meeting
Of St. Johns Ev. Luth. Church
the members passed the resolu-
ton to dissolve the tie, by which
they have been united with the
Lutheran congregation at Nor
ton, since the local congregation
came into existence about six
teen years ago.
While the two congregations
have always worked in harmony
with each other, they have both
grown SO rapidly, that they
came to a mutual agreement to
separate. The congregation at
Morton will send a call to one
of the candidates who are to be
graduated at the Lutheran Theo-
logical Seminary at Wauwatosa,
Wis, and it is hoped that the
young pastor will enter upon his
duties at Morton in the first part
of August. The local congrega-
ton will retain Rev. A. Schaller
as it's pastor.
There are excellent prospects
here of continued growth, the
number of voting members hav-
ing increased to about sixty.
Seven new members have been
taken into the congregation since
January. The congregation re-
joices at the thought that it will
now be able to have regular SER
vices every Sunday, and the pas
tor as we'll as the members feel
assured, that the change will be
most beneficial to the future
welfare of the congregation.

Misplaced Soil
Found Last Week
Little Instrument Looks Harm
less But Reveals Many Skele-
tons in Redwood Homes

Strange things were UNI
earthed by one man Fits at the
Jaehning Bros store last week.
Mr.. Fits is the gentleman who
welded the Wand-the little
Arco Wand, which proved to be
the magic means of revealing
strange truths. At one end of
the Arco Wand is an energetic
vacuum cleaner and at the 9TH
err end an equally active electric
current. The two made an I'M
beatable combination which
made many clean rugs, several
new friends and hurt a few feel
ings.
The Wand was waved a few
times over ore very small, tiny,
little rug owned by Mrs. Geo.
Jaehning, and Lo. there were
six ounces Count EN-. six) Of
the richest garden material
imaginable. From the dining
room rug of the G.. w. Gold home
were taken five ounces Of the
same good soil-it was pretty
generally distributed over the
rug as though some lengthy
limbed person had sat in a place
at the head of the table and
moved his shoes casually over
the surrounding floor space.
The rug from the suit depart
ment of The Palace yielded an
even pound of plain dirt at the
gentle touch Of the Wand, and a
small strip from the shoe de-
partment gave up six ounces-a
really prodigious amount which
may be explained by the fact
that the leading ladies OF the
city have recently bought heav-
lily of Easter footwear.
The Wand told a lot Of other
secrets which The Gazette is too
polite to mention. Whatever it
did in the way of revelation was
done thoroughly, and it YVES
much admired by all houseknep-
ing beholders-except those who
were being "shown up." 1t made
such an impression upon Jack
Hearty that he has ordered the
complete Arco Wand vacuum
cleaner system installed in the
new bungalo he is building. This
will be the first system installed
in a Redwood Falls home. II
vacuum cleaners are like charity
in their homelike tendencies, it
would seem appropriate that one
be installed in the Jaennine
home soon.
Note,-No rugs from The Ga
zette family underwent the close
scrutiny of The Wand.

Postal Receipts
Are Sufficient TO
Get City Delivery
Receipts of PostOffice for Fiscal
Year Ended March 81 More
Than Amount Required
City Council Will Be Asked to
Present Petition to Depart
ment and Number Houses
Steady and Substantial Growth
of Receipts Warrant Sta
bility of Service

Redwood Falls can have free
city mail delivery service if she
will avail herself of the oppor-
tunity to GO after it. Many peo-
pie have. asked the postmaster,
wheif city delivery service can
be secured? It has been a rath-
er indefinite question to answer
as the establishment of this
service depends upon the popu-
lation of a city or upon its postal
receipts.
In the case of Redwood Falls the
question has been one of bring
ing the receipts up to the re-
quired amount and not until the
end of the fiscal year, March 81,
was it positively affirmed that
the receipts would reach this
amount. The receipts for the
year just closed have passed the
goal with a good margin and
now it is up to the residents to
do the rest.
Council Must Petition
At a special meeting of the
City Council next Wednesday
evening the matter will be pre-
sented for action. That they
will give the matter proper at
tention there is little doubt and
in doing so they will be serving
the public with a long-desired
service.
Little Money and Lots of Work
The establishment of city de-
livery service does not necessi-
tate great expenditure of mon
ey bat sat there is cesii dessr;ssl be work
to be done. All streets must be
properly named and houses must
be properly numbered. On re-
cent visit at the post Office, In
spector Drake assured the post
master of any assistance his ex.
perience could give in this con.
nection. 1t is important that
the numbering be done system.
atically to avoid trouble in the
future.
Must Have Sidewalks
Only those homes that have
sidewalks leading up to them
are entitled to city delivery ser
vice. Citizens who wish the SER
vice and have not sidewalks
should attend to this now AND
be ready for the service when
established.
Growth Normal
The growth of the postal bust
ness in this CITY has been steady
and substantial. There is moth
ing fuctuating about it nor is
the growth due to any particu-
lar cause that might at some
time cease and the funds be de-
pleted. 1t is a certainty that il
city delivery service is estab.

YANER WILL CASE
BROUGHT TO CLOSE
WITH COMPROMISE

The hard fought Mcrris-Haner will
case closed late yesterday in circuit
court with compromise for $500 to
Walter Morris, the plaintiff, who re-
linquished his claims on the Frank
Morris estate two years ago in Win
chester court, then renewed the fight
here.
1t is said counsel for Morris feared
the jury would consrue new evidence
to mean that Morris knew he was the
son Of Frank Morris and not John
, Morris. Isabelle Haner is now the
sole beneficiary of the will of Frank
Morris.
The suit which was being tried in
Wayne circuit court was brought to
break the will of Frank Morris, which
disposed of an estate of between
100000 and $4,000 to sister, Isabelle
tIaner
With the knowledge Of Special
Judge Cause, attorneys compromised
The suit for $3.50 and $50 additional to

cover court costs of the trial, which
will amount to at least SIS for the
litigants. The trial which has been in
progress over a week cost the county
about SITS.
Walter Morris was seeking tc prove
that he Is the illegitimate son of
Frank Morris and that the former
transfer man was insane at the time
he made his will. Two years ago,
Morris complicated his claim to the

estate by signing away his rights in
saying he was the son of John Morris,
who at that time was seeking to break
the will.
To guarantee court costs, Waiter
Morris and his attorneys had put up
$500 bond at the opening of the suit.
With this suit out of the way, Mrs.
Haner has practically clear claim
to the estate.
Attorneys for Mrs. Haner declared

ASHFORD FINDS
Are Subject to Taxation BY
Territory, He Says in Opin-
ion Handed Down Today

In an opinion handed down today
which has been eagerly awaited by
practically all army officers on Oahu
Circuit Judge C. w. Ashford ex'
presses the belief that automobiles
used by army officers on military res
ervations are hardly necessary in the
performance of their official duties,
and that the machines are therefore
subject to taxation by the territory.
The opinion states that, in the be-
lief Of Judge Ashford, the bill for in
junction brought by Capt. A. F. Cas-
sells, u. s. A., against Tax Assessor
Charles 7. Wilder, in which the form
er. attempts to enjoin the assessor
from levying and collecting taxes on
an automobile belonging to the officer,

PRISONER is EAGER

has reached Chief of Detectives Ar

of H. V. Ness, soldier formerly at
Fort Shafter, who was sent to the
Leavenworth military prison for three
years and has now almost finished his
time.
Ness writes that his letters to his
sweetheart here have not been an
swered and some have been returned,
and he wants the detectives to try
and locate the girl for him, so he can
write to her and arrange to meet her
when his time is up.
