Citizens Unite
In Big Celebration
Commercial Club Given Valuable
Assistance by Committees
And Individuals
is BIG SUCCESS
Miss Francois Chairman of Ban
quet Committee; John Klaus
and C. Neufert Decorate

The citizens of Redwood Falls
and vicinity rendered the Boys
of Company L most hearty re-
ception upon their return last
Wednesday from their seven
months of service at Camp Llano
Grande, Texas. A committee
from the Commercial Club con-
sisting of F. r. Lobdell, F. G.
Hubbard and G.. F. Gales had
charge of the arrangements in
which they were ably assisted
by the various committees ap-
pointed and by individual citi-
zens. Every resident was more
than anxious to show how heart
lily glad he was to get the boys
back again and that the boys
were most appreciative is shown
in the account of the reception,
written by "A Member Of the
Company"
Special mention should be
made of certain committees who
did unusually excellent work. G.
A. Neufert and John Klaus
worked diligently in the decora-
tion of the large drill-room, and
the result exceeded the fondest
hope of beauty that any citizen
had ever dared hope. The large,
bare room, which does not lend
itself readily to decoration, was
transformed into a vista of
stately beauty with appropriate
symbols of homecoming and
peace. The result would have
done credit to professional deco
rators with unlimited means at
their hand. A very great share
of the success of the boys vel
come belongs to Mr.. Neufert
and Mr.. Klaus.
The committee in charge of
the banquet consisted of Miss
Bernice Francois, Mrs. w. H.
Gold and Mrs. G. F. Gales. These
ladies planned the delicious menu
served the boys, arranged for
table appointments and deco
rated the dining-room of the Ar
mory in the national colors. Mrs.
H. M. Aune was placed in charge
of the dining room and was as
sisted in the serving by corps
of the young ladies of Redwood
Falls. An able and efficient
kitchen committee also assisted
materially in serving the ban
quet. To all the ladies who as
sisted and especially to those
having the arrangements in
charge, much praise should be
given both for their faithful
ness and their results.
Many others also assisted the
Commercial Club in making the
evening success. Among these
were the men who contributed
the teams and labor for remov-
ing the huge drifts from about
the Armory, those who took

A. MERRITT TAYLOR BARES FALLACIES
INLEWIS REPLY ON TRANSIT

ital
However as Mr. Taylor has challenged
my my hrst two statements, beg to assure him
tnat shall submit amendments to your
SoInnlttee which will render the correct
est possibility OF doubt.
NO OBJECTION TO EXCHANGE
Taking up the ex-Director's questions in
.helr order Mr.. Lewis admitted that the
tease provided for the continuance of the
elght-cent exchange tickets until after the
operation OF the first section OF the Broad
street subway. and that their elimination
AT that time is only possible after the Pub
lic Service Commission has given its ap-
prevail
Mr.. Lewis also admitted that the city
would be incompetent to lawfully agree with
the Transit Company to continue the ex-
change-ticket charge, provided the tickets
are illegal and discriminatory. as has been
charged. He took the position however
that their illegality would be passed upon
by the Public Service Commission when the
lease comes up for ratification.
In reply to the Taylor query as 20
whether the continuance of these tickets
would not be betrayal Of the people OF
Philadelphia Mr.. Lewis answered that II
would not under the provisions for the
ltimate abolition of the tickets.
In reply to Mr.. Taylor's inquiries re-
garding the dividend to be paid the Phila-
delphia Rapid transit Company under the
lease Mr. Lewis asserted again that there
is no guarantee of per cent and main
tanned that the company will get only such
dividend as it can earn under the fare
rate fixed by the Public Service Commission.
In regard to the city's obligation 20 pur-
chase the company's system and the cty's
! ability to regain its own system at the ex-
piration @of the lease, Mr.. Lewis declared
that the city is not obligated to purcha SO
the companys system and that il Is not
prevented from obtaining control of its
own system.
Mr.. Lewis denied likewise that the CITY
will be compelled to pay higher carfares un-
less the Public Service Commission regards
increases of fare as just as reasonable He
denied likewise that the city has relin-
quished the right to compel the company to
equip the high-speed lines.
The contention of Mr. Taylor that the
city has waived its right to build surface
extensions and lease them to the company
was met by Mr.. Lewis with the answer
! that the city does not now have any such
| right and therefore cannot waive II, He
| pointed out in this connection that under
| the lease the company has agreed 10 build
and operate such surface extensions as the
| board of control, provided for in the lease
may direct, If approved by the Public Serv.

CLEANUP DAY OF
MUCH INTEREST

The Clean Up Day announced by
Mayor Comstock for tomorrow de-
serves the hearty cooperation of ev-
cry citizen. This summer will see
the greatest influx of tourists the
Rockies ever witnessed. Instead of
going to the seashore, touring the
continent" promises to be the favor
ite recreation Of 1917. To put our
"best foot foremost" the first duty is
to clean up.
This day is becoming an annual
event. There is pleasure and comfort
for ourselves in having the streets
and alleys free from trash, there is
lessening Of fire danger and an i'm
portant health consideration.
Burn all you can and have hauled
away the ashes and refuse you are di-
rectly responsible for. The city will
then furnish men and teams. to clean
the piles Of trash in the streets.
There is q patriotism to be shown
in war, but this is q patriotic duty we
owe to our home town.
Gunnison expects every citizen to
do his duty, be that citizen man or
woman, boy or girl.

A GREAT sPUD- SCHEME
Kansas City Man Raises Forty Bush
els in Small PEN SxS. At Least He
Says He Does.

A farmer from Missouri who has
recently purchased a ranch in the
Grand Valley hands the Grand juno
tiop Sentinel the following item taken
from the Kansas City Star. It is
written by crippled citizen of that
place, who has actually done the work
himself.
Build a pen either with 2x4s, old
fence posts, rails or anything about
eight feet high. The pen should be
about 6x8 feet inside. Fill in earth
about six inches and plant potatoes
about q foot apart each way; then
about two inches Of rotten earth or
manure and again six inches Of earth
then more potatoes and manure, and
continue as high as you like. This
size pen will give seventy hills Of po-
tatoes to each foot in height. To
keep the dirt from falling out, fill in
the cracks with old straw or anything
while building the pen. It should be
watered from the top about twice .
week. have built pens like this and
have raised forty bushels to the pen
8xSxs. The tops Of each potato will
come to the outside Of the pen, and at
digging time simply pull down the
pen and rake out the potatoes, which
are as fine as any grown"
A great scheme indeed. But it
would be inexpensive. and any city
man can do it in few hours a week,
and If it works there are more than
enough potatoes for the family in a
space smaller than q bedroom.

Washington, May 19.-An alarming
shortage in the nations supply of
beef. declared by experts to be far
short of war time needs, caused the
administration to 60 before congress,
seeking Immediate passage of drastic
war measures to prohibit the ruthless
slaughter Of young beef cattle.
Representative Fred A. Britten of
Chicago introduced in the house u bill
which forbids under severe penalty
the slaughter Of female cattle under
six years of age and of male cattle
under one year Of age. The measure,
II made law, would increase the
country's supply of beef at least 5,
100000 pounds day, according to
expert calculations made by the de-
partment of agriculture.
Representative Britten's bill is
sweeping in its terms, but specifi-
cally excludes male cattle weighing
more than 1000 pounds, commonly
designated "baby beeves." The real
intent of the measure is to prevent
the killing of young cattle before they
attain full size.
"rhe baby beef industry should be
encouraged, as also should the protec-
tion Of female cattle whose period OF
maximum productivity is between the
ages Of five and six. years." said Mr.
Britten. "In 1910 the average beef
cattle were worth $19.07 per head or
the farm. Today that average has
risen to $35.8s, almost 100 per cent in
seven years.
with the decrease of cattle and
shep it is but question of time wher
only the rich and the war tax dodgel
can enjoy beefsteak. My figures, bas.
ed upon government tabulation, show
that there are 7,500, 900 less beef cat.

there were ten years ago The beef
cattle then numbered 1853, 900 head
Eight million calves were killed last
