Cash and Carry

Ned F. Dripps inaugurated the Cash
and Carry grocery system in Redwood
Falls today (January 15) by present
ing each of his customers who made
a two dollar purchase with a large
market basket and a cordial invita-
tion to come again. Mr.. Dripps has
carefully studied the plan of cash and
carry as it has been worked out in
other stores, and he finds the plan
wholly good, working for the mutual
benefit of both customers and mer-
chants. By avoiding bad accounts,
or accounts which must be carried for
long time, and by doing away with
the expense of delivery, Mr.. Dripps
can easily save his patrons ten per
cent on the cost of their groceries
and on many orders this saving can
be increased. The plan has been thor
oughly tested by A. J. Chamberlain
and Son, prominent grocers of Mar
shall, and they have positively proved
to their own and their customers sat
isfaction that this is the most sue
cessful means of overcoming the high
cost of living. The only obstacle in
the way is the objection some women
have. to carrying a market basket,
and little common sense will over
come this.

Redwood Man
Fails To Register
Henry Steinhaus, Three Lakes Farm
er, Taken In Custody Friday
by Federal Official
Piled NOT GUILTY
Was Taken Before United States Com
missioner at St. Paul For Pre-
liminary Hearing

Henry C. H. Steinhaus of Three
Lakes township, son of Gust Stein
haus, was taken in custody Friday
by an agent Of the Department of
Justice and was taken before United
States Commissioner Samuel Whaley,
at St. Paul on Saturday for his pre-
ing the federal draft act for military
service. 1t was charged that he was
of draft age on registration day but
did not register. He pleaded not gull
ty.
The first that the public knew of
the case was when a secret service
man got off the train at Clements
Friday, drove out to the Steinhaus
farm and placed Henry Steinhaus un-
der arrest and took him to ST. Paul
the same day. Agents for the De-
partment of Justice intimate, how
ever, that careful investigation has
been made and that they are prepared
to go before the court and prove their
charge. 1t was insinuated that the
defendant has made several declara-
tions of his age in official documents.
We have been unable to get in
touch with Mr.. Steinhaus to learn
his side of the case but it is under
stood that he claims he was passed
80 years at the date of resignation
and therefore did not come under the
conscription law. He is married and
has three children. Under the rules
that have been observed so far, if he
was of draft age and had registered
he would have been exempt from mill
tary service-Morgan Messenger.

NOn-PartiSans Do
Not Meet Here
A. d. Stewart, Safety Commission
Directors and w. M. Smith, Mayor
Elect. Close Town to Organizers
WABASSO SAYS NO
Meeting At Mankato Also Forbidden;
Refused Livery Barn Here And
Leave Disguised

The Non-partisan meeting adver-
tised to be held in Redwood Falls
Monday afternoon was not held. The
Armory had been hired for the occa-
sion but through the instigation of
Mayor VIM. M Smith, the new mayor
elect, the money for the rental of the
Armory was returned last week to
August Ellison Of Morgan who adj
vertised the meeting. Mr.. Ellison re-
fused to accept the returned money
and came to Redwood Falls Monday
with one or two of the organizers 81
the league, prepared to hold this
meeting. Between forty and fifty
men, practically all of them coming
from Redwood Falls, gathered in ex-
pectation of the meeting.
However, through the activity of
A. D. Stewart who is the Redwood
County Director of the State Safety
Commission, and the loyalty of Red
wood Falls citizens who refused to
rent their buildings for the meeting,
the organizers were obliged to leave
town without holding the meeting.
They attempted when all else failed,
to rent the Banner Livery barn, but
were told by Leo O'Hara, manager,
that if they were the fright kind of
fellows" they wouldn't have to beg
for a barn to meet in, and were re-
fused admittance.
Mr.. Stewart was also successful in
stopping the meeting which was sched-
uled to be held in Wabasso Tuesday
night and by his prompt action in
both these cases has proved again
that he is the man for this position.
In view of the seditious things which
have been said at the meetings held
by this league in the past, Mr.. Stew
art could see no reason for giving
the organizers any chance to spread
any of that sort of propaganda in
his county, and all American citizens
are upholding him for his plomptness
in suppressing any possible sedition
The same sort of a meeting sched-
uled for Mankato Monday was also
stopped by action of the Safety di-
rector of that county.

A Mean Trick

The City Recorder sneaked around
and read copy and listened under win
dows, ETC., ETC., until he found out
that we had scored him for not hav-
ing new flag up, and that the page
on which the scoring was printed was
already off the press and we couldn't
help ourselves. Then he bribed Joe
Keefe or some other long, lank per-
son to reach up and grab down the
old flag off the city hall and to put
a brand, glorious new one in it's place
did all this because he really has
disagreeable disposition in spite of
looking fat and good natured, and he
wanted to make US look cheap and
feel silly. But we don't! We are just
glad because the new flag floats in
all it's beauty and we salute it four
times a day, and congratulate the
City Recorder on his record breaking
speed in getting it up.

Charles Kenney, Sr.

The Gazette of last week failed to
tell of the death of one of the old
residents of this community, Charles
H. Kenney who died Friday, January
a, at the home of his son, A. S. Ken
ney, with whom he had made his
home for the past several years.
Death was caused by an enlargement
of the lung and the victim suffered
considerable pain for several days
prior to his death. He was constant
ly attended during his last illness by
his brother, DR.. George Kenney, a
Minneapolis physician.
Funeral services were held Sum
day, January 6, under the auspices of
the local I. @. O. F. of which Mr..
Kenney had long been member.
The pallbearers were all members
of the order and included Frank Ham
mer, Frank Parish, Charles Andrew,
Henry Austin, Robert Whyte and F.
A. Gray. Interment was made in the
Redwood Falls cemetery.
Charles Kenney was born in Mas
sachusetts, November 21, 184O. He
was married in 1866 to Miss Jane
Horton who died several years ago.
Mr.. Kenney is survived by his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Ed. Moon of Redwood Falls,
his son Arthur S. Kenney and two
brothers and one sister, all living in
Minneapolis. He was member of
the local G. A. r. Post as well as of
the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs and
was respected resident of this vi
cinity. The sympathy of the COM
munity IS extended to the bereaved
son and daughter and other relatives.

The County Printing

The County Commissioners of Red
wood County last Wednesday awarded
the county printing for the year 1913
to the Wabasso Standard at a price
not to exceed $1,750.00. This is con-
siderably less than legal rates and
the commissioners pride themselves
upon saving the taxpayers fair sum
as the only other bids, those OF the
Redwood Sun and the Redwood Ga
zette. were for legal rates. However,
in the long run, the taxpayer who
wishes a full account of county pro-
ceedings must now subscribe for the
official county paper, whether resi-
dent of the locality in which it is
printed or not and this will amount,
in the aggregate to sum much larg-
er than the difference between the
bid of this paper and either OF the
County Seat papers. At legal rates
the commissioners were offered a
guaranteed circulation in the Gazette
which would exceed the circulation of
the Standard in the county by sew
eral hundred. The Gazette also prom
ised, if awarded the printing contract,
to circulate the financial statement
and the delinquent tax list in at least
nine other papers in the county be-
side the Gazette. This means that in
practically every home in the county
these important proceedings would
circulate at the cost set by the state
as suitable and proper for this work
AS the arrangement is now, the cir
culation of these proceedings will be
small unless each taxpayer pays for
a paper for which he has little other
use. As Editor johnson of the Bel
view Independent remarks, "1t looks
to US like the commissioners have
handed their constituents a nice juicy
lemon" At any rate they have skill
fully handled the matter SO that few
of the taxpayers will read the pro
ceedings and the others will remain
in complete ignorance as to how the
county funds are being spent. Per
haps this is what they wished to dc
if so we compliment them upon
having accomplished their purpose.

Bank Does Well


The Farmers and Merchants State
Bank of Delhi, one of the newest of
Redwood Coounty's banking institu-
tions held it's semi-annual meeting the
other day and the bank was exam
ined by the board of directors who
found everything in highly salts
factory condition. The bank has done
a splendid business since opening, a
very remarkable business considering
the size of Delhi and the banking ia
cilities the people of that vicinity have
enjoyed in the past. The annual meet
ing will be held in July. Much OF
the banks success is due to the abil-
ity and energy of the cashier, Robert
V. Ochs, who was formerly in the
employ of one of the Redwood Falls
banks.
