Boys Graduate
Home County Represented by
Three Boys at Agricultural
College Exercises

Joseph Morley and Alfred
Paulson of Redwood Falls and
Roscoe Kirsch of Walnut Grove
were members of the class at
the State Agricultural College,
which completed its work last
Wednesday, March %.
The graduating class num-
bered 162, which is three less
than last years class. All to-
gether more than 1000 boys
have been graduated from the
school of agriculture, and more
than eight thousand have at
tended the school. Eighty per
cent of these, according to D. D..
Mayne, principal Of the school
of agriculture, are now engaged
in farming. The list of gradu-
ates of the school of agriculture
includes some of the managers
of the largest and best known
farms in the Northwest. More
than 800 alumni returned to the
school of agriculture for the
commencement exercises and
the alumni reunions.
Joseph Morley took part in
the graduation exercises, the
Minneapolis Journal having the
following to say Of his talk

River High at
North Redwood
Feared Bridge over Minnesota
May Be Swept Away by Ice;
Dynamite Used

Reports from North Redwood
at noon Tuesday stated that
the wagon bridge over the Min
nesota River was in great dam
ger of being carried away, an
immense ice jam, twenty feet
high, having formed just above
the bridge. Dynamite was sent
down from here in the hope that
the jam might be broken in suf-
ficient time to save the bridge.
The Minnesota River out over
flowed it's banks at the bayou
north of North Redwood and the
water was sufficiently deep Sum
day and Monday to make cross
ing by team extremely hazard
GUS. The Redwood River is al
SO very high and the dam here
is being tested to it's utmost but
SO far holds we'll and it is not
believed there will be a material
increase now in the volume of
water. The Redwood and Ram
sey falls are both very beauti-
full and are being viewed by
many admiring spectators.
Road Engineer H. E. Palmer
was notified Monday that the
ice blockade was threatening the
recently built bridge across the
Minnesota River between Red
wood and Renville Counties, and
he thought it would probably be
necessary to use dynamite to
start the ice, in order to save
the bridge.

Poultry Show
Is Assured Fact
Redwood County Poultry Ass0-
citation Formed; Show Held
Here Next Winter

To further the interest in
poultry raising in Redwood coun-
ty an organization known as the
Redwood County Poultry Asso-
citation was formed during the
two-day Farmers Institute ses-
sion. A three-days annual poul-
try show which will be held at
Redwood Falls sometime during
December and January is to be
the big feature of the organiza-
tion. Good premiums will be
given for all breeds of the vari-
Gus classes of poultry. Tom Hos
kin, Will Gray, John Colville and
F. l.. French were elected as
executive officers.
All poultry breeders and fam
|ciers should now be making plans
for the three-days show. Now
is the time to get started in pure
bred poultry. 1t will cost but
little. By securing three of four
settings of eggs from a pure
bred flock, one will be able to
raise a small flock from which
a number of fine birds may be
chosen for show purposes. Aside
from the show this will be a
paying proposition. From the
three or four settings of eggs,
one will be able to raise a large
flock of purebreds for himself
within a couple of years. No 9TH
er breed Of livestock can be Sc
cured so quickly and cheaply as
purebred poultry.
Within a short time efforts
will be made to secure large
membership to the Association.
| A small membership fee of $50
will be charged, which will in
Eclude membership dues for the
first year.
In other counties the, county
poultry show is made a big event
of the year. With a large mem
bership and good premiums
there is no question but what
the Redwood County Poultry As
sociation can be made a big
thing for Redwood County and
especially Redwood Falls.
Let's all get behind it.

the Secretary of State Julius A.

that in all probability the dec
laration will be made within the
next twenty-four hours. The
resolution adopted by Congress
indicates that a state of war
virtually exists.
Members of the naval militia
located in the, Twin Cities left
Tuesday night for Duluth
whence they will go to their ap-
pointed stations.
Rumors at the state capitol
early Tuesday stated that all
members of the National Guard

next four days. This rumor
was neither confirmed nor de-
MED up to two o'clock but those
close to Guard officers believe it
will be called out presently for
police duty at various points.

New Advantage
For Home Students
Local Normal Training Depart
ment Now on Preferred List;
: Offers Fine Opportunity

Arrangements have just been
completed whereby the young
people of Redwood Falls can Sc
cure the equivalent of the first
year of normal or college work
without leaving this community.
The normal training depart
tment of the Redwood Falls high
school has been placed on a pre-
ferred list so that by meeting
certain requirements, it's stu
dents receive special recognition.
Hereafter a high school diploma
will be required of all candidates
for admission to the normal
training department. Graduates
of the department, then, will re-
ceive full credit for their work
at any of the state normal
schools, and will thereby be en-
abled to complete the advanced
course in one instead of in two
years. High school graduates
of the regular course can obtain
a college degree in four years,
two of which may be spent at
a state normal and two at the
university. Hereafter graduates
of the normal training depart
ments will be able to obtain
their college degrees in only
three years, two at the univer.
sity in addition to only one at
a state normal.
To those who are interested
in teaching as an occupation anG
to those who are willing to study
normal subjects, this arrange
ment promises much. Not only
does this plan cut down the year:
Ito be spent away from home
from four to three but it econ
omizes in expense to the exten'
of $400 or $500.
Students or parents who ar,
interested in this plan and il
the new course Of study pro
vided for normal training de
lpartments by the State Depart
ment Of Education should con
Isult with Supt. D. S. Brainart
or with Miss Margaret Hart.

Grandma CumnlinS
Called By Death
Mrs. Catherine Cummins Dies at
Daughters Home, ST. Paul,
Wednesday Morning

Another long Life Of useful
ness closed last Wednesday
morning when Grandma" Cum
minis died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Katherine Nc
Cormack, 1910 Hague Ave-, st.
Paul, after an illness of two
months. The body was brought
to Redwood Falls. and funeral
services were held at the Church
9 of st. Catherine Friday morn
ing, Rev. j. J. Tomek, pastor of
the church, reading the requiem
mass.
Catherine Smith was born in
Westmeath County, Ireland, in
October, 1881, and came to
America in 1845, settling first
in Pennsylvania. Later she came
to Milwaukee and here in Octo-
Der, 1856, she was married to
Patrick Cummins at the st. Pat
rick's Cathedral.
To this union were born nine
children of whom only four sur
vive their mother. These are
Mrs. Katherine Mccormack of
St. Paul, Edward of Redwood
Falls, Mathew of Wilmot, S. D.,
and Thomas of Voltaire, N. D.
The husband and father died
many years ago.
After her marriage Mrs. Cum
minis lived at st. Clair, Mimi,
coming from there to Redwood
County about twenty-six years
ago. During her residence here
Mrs. Cummins endeared herself
to many people, especially to the
people of the ST. GATHERINGS
parish who knew more of her
deeds of charity and OF her
Christian life than did those out
side her church circle. However,
to all who knew her she was
Grandma Cummins," loved for
the patience taught her by her
many years and for the serenity
born of her unbounded Faith
which had so beautifully sus-
tanned her during all the trials
and sorrows of her long life. The
.Aglory of her life was found in
the devotion shown her during
these last years by her children,
by whom she was shown every
kindness. Mrs. Mccormack and
her children and the family of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Cummins
have been especially thoughtful
of her comfort, she having been
in the charge of one of these
families most of the time since
the death of the son, William
Cummins, four years ago.
All the children and several
of the grandchildren were pres
ent at the burial service. Among
the others present were John
Smith, a nephew from ST. Clair,
Mimi, and John McGovern, an
old friend of the family, from
Bird Island.

City Delivery
of Mails Assured
Services Delayed by Necessary
Wait for SignbOards, Recep-
tacles And Numbers

Postmaster G.. A. Lauterbach
is still hopeful that by July l
Redwood Falls will have the city
delivery OF mails which has been
one of his ambitions since TAX
ing office. The matter of plac-
ing name boards at street in
tersections and of properly num-
bering the houses, has been TAX
en- up with the City Council
which will do it's work as soon
as the frost is out of the ground.
Following the naming Of the
streets and the numbering Of
the house, Inspector Munro, who
recently visited Redwood Falls,
will return to direct the work
of routing the city for the two
carriers who will be appointed.
At least eighty per cent of the
houses must be provided with
proper mail receptacles in addi-
tion to all the houses being num-
bered, before the service can be
put into effect.
A very essential part of this
service is the placing by the
postal department, of mail box
es in various parts of the resi-
dence section, for posting out
going mail. This is one of the
most convenient of the many
features which recommend this
delivery service to the public.

Del. MAR Girls Coming

The Del Mar Quartette, a
group of musical young women,
will give an evenings entertain
ment at the Armory Thursday
evening, April 5, as a number
of the lecture course. These en-
tertainers have given a large
number of programs during the
season just closing and come to
Redwood Falls very well recon-
mended.
The Del Mar Quartette is
unique in the lyceum field for
the reason that though their vo-
cal quartette singing is the
equal of that of any of our ly-
ceum quartettes, their instru-
mental work, ensemble playing,
is also good. Mr.. Runner worked
for eight months to produce this
company and how we'll he sue
ceeded is shown by the fact that
of the first thirty-six reports to
come into the bureau this past
fall ON the company, thirty-four
gave the company the highest
rating which the bureau report
card permitted, and twenty-six
asked for return engagements
on the company.
Seats for this number will be
on sale this morning at Lauter-
bach Bros, single admissions
fifty cents.
