Telephone Men
Have Meeting
Rural Telephone Company Has Dinner
and Annual Meeting Last Tuesday:
New Officers Named

The annual meeting of the Redwood
County Rural Telephone Company was
held in Redwood Falls last Tuesday.
The first feature of the day was an
excellent dinner served by the Gallea
brothers in the dining room of the
armory. This dinner was paid for by
the telephone company and has be-
come a feature of the annual meet
ing. Many of the business men were
the guests of the Company upon this
occasion. Following the dinner a
short program of talks was given with
A. D. Stewart, president of the COM
pany presiding. Those who responded
to the toasts were Mayor VIM. M.
Smith, A. R. A. Laudon, John Price,
J. R. Keefe, Sheriff Hassenstab, j.
F. Conner, N. w. Cobleigh and DR..
Sarchet.
The annual business meeting was

lowing officers were elected: Presi-
dent, A. D. Stewart; president,
John Price; Secretary, A. M. Dennis
toun; and Treasurer, j. M. Little. The

practically bankrupt condition and hac
been successful in bringing it to its
present prosperous condition. AL
those who know of the good work
done by Mr.. Kleaver felt that this
recognition of his services was wei
deserved

City Observes
HeatIess Day
Redwood Falls Follows Closely the
Order to Suspend Commercial
Operations for Fuels Sake

Under the direction of Geo. A. Pa
ton, fuel commissioner of Redwood
County, and the personal supervision
OF VIM. M. Smith, mayor of the city,
Monday was observed as heatless day
IN Redwood Falls and in most places
throughout Redwood County Wabas-
so, it was learned by Mr.. Patton late
Monday afternoon, had not observed
the ruling. The mayor of the village,
in a telephone conversation with Mr..
Patton, said he had not understood
that he had authority to close the
stores and other industries and that
nothing had been done about closing.
However he was given to understand
his duty in the matter and it is quite
probable that there will be no further
omission of orders there. So far that
is the only instance where reports
of omission have been made to Mr..
Patton.
During the day Mr. Patton learned
that all billiard and pool halls were
allowed to keep open Monday but
were not supposed to sell soft drinks,
cigars, etc. Tuesday they must be
closed all day as must all other amuse-
ment places. All lodge halls must be
closed on Mondays. There was some
little misinterpretation concerning the
billiard hall ruling but the matter
has now been made clear and the or
der will be observed for the next nine
Mondays which is the remainder of
the period designated.
Dry goods stores, hardware stores
and other stores were closed all day
while grocery and meat shons were
| closed at noon. Drug stores were
permitted to sell drugs but nothing
else throughout the day and the stores
were kept at the lowest possible tenn
perature. Automobile and repair shops
and plumbing shops were open
throughout the day but no new goods
nor materials were handled in con-
nection with their work.

Delhi Red Cross Sale

The Delhi Branch of the Red Cross
held an auction sale last Saturday
afternoon with splendid results, the
net proceeds being practically $3O5,
all of which will be used to further
the work of the branch. All the ar
ticles auctioned off were the gifts of
the men and women of the commu-
nifty and represented articles grown
by them on their farms or prepared
by them in their homes. Everything
sold brought good prices, due partial
ly no doubt to the skill of the auc-
tioneer, F. E. Patten who contributed
his services and is in large measure
responsible for the success of the
sale. A sheep donated by John Hines
brought $40, pig given by G.. H.
MacD Dougall brought $40, a load Of
hay by F. E. Patten brought good
sum as did also load of timothy
fodder by A. L. Leonard, and a bushel
of timothy seed by Axel Hultquist.
One peck of onions brought SIS, a
common doll brought $500 and many
other small articles brought good
money. Nearly everyone in the COM
munity donated something and also
took an active part in the purchas-
ing for which they are to be warmly
commended. Miss Alice Piersol, chair
man of the Delhi branch, is to be
congratulated upon the splendid sue
cess of the sale which was the result
of the activity of herself and her CO.
workers.
