They wondered at the poor condition
of the roads crossing the reservation.
With so few roads to maintain, the
Indian department certainly could
have a better road across the reserva-
ton, as much travel is being done
from the west to the Red Lake coun-
try. We are loosing many landbuyers
and settlers because Of the uncertain
ty Of being able to go from Redby to
Kelliher or Waskish. Fill up the
holes in your roads and appreciate
the improvements done by the settlers
surrounding the reservation.

Raising Money for GYM.

Jewell Record: Progress is being
made in the campaign to raise a fund
of $4,000 to erect gymnasium for
Jewell Lutheran college. The plan is
to raise that amount of money to erect
a substantial. fireproof building on the
college campus, about so or 60 feet wide
and 100 to 12O feet long, to be used
for ecreational work for college stu
dents, with provision for use Of the
building under college direction by pub
lie school pupils and people o. the
town. The buildings would also af-
ford splendid hall for large gather
ings of various kinds, as it would have,
with the balcony and by seating the
running track along the sides, a seat
ing capacity of about twelve thousand.

CLOSz COMPANY
ENLAGE PLANT
Two Story Frame Addition
to Charles ClOsZ Com
pany's Plant Being
Erected.
NO DULL SEASONS NOW
Plant has Grown Wonder
fully From Small Begin
ing q Years Ago.

With the present years business
the largest in its history, the Charles
Closz Company, manufacturers OF
thrcshing machine sieyes, are enlarg-
ing their plant to provide much need
led space.
| The addition will be two story
frame structure. similar to the other
factory buildings, and will connect
the two wings of the present plant on
the north. The foundation is already
Fin. The building will afford addi-
| tional grGNind, floor space OF some 40
! ~ 81 feet.
The present year marks the high
| tide in the firms business. This is
due, Mr.. ClOsZ says. to the increased
use of tractors and therefore larger
number of small threshing machines.
Mr.. Closz is of the opinion that this
! excess business will not continue,
probably not even through the coming
Eear.
Does Foreign Trade.
= Speaking of peace-time reconstruc-
ton. Mr.. Close denied that his CON-
pany does foreign business, outside
the United States and Canada. The
Close sleeves are sold direct to the
threshing machine companies, who
dispose of them in practically every
part Of the world.
The Closz company employees forty
wOrkmen the year a round. Up until
two years ago there was two months
dull season in the late summer when
majority of the workers We're laid
off, but this is changed now and the
factory works at full capacil.,
throughout the year, though the win
ter is regarded as the rush season.
Started - Years Ago.
The sieve factory is a purely local
concern, Mr.. Closz started the pres
fent plant in a small way twentyseven
years ago. Asked how many men he
employed in the beginning, he pointed
to himself-"one man. However,
when the factory really got under
way he had three or four men work
ing for him.
The plant has grown little by little,
just as the output grew and moe
space was needed for machinery and
workers The latest addition and
improvement marks the sixth Or
seventh time the plant has been en-
larged. 1t is now one of the largest
and most successfully operated mani-
featuring concerns in the city and its
growth will doubtless continue.

Whereas, death having removed from
our midst our comrade, Conrad Baker,
it is well that we bear testimony OF
his noble character and the esteem and
appreciation in which we hold and cher
ish his memory.
We knew him as a loyal citizen and
brave soldier, and an honorable and
upright citizen. He served his country
in time Of the nations peril IN the
ranks of Company NJ, LIST Ohio Cavalry
Therefore, be it resolved that in the
death of our comrade. this post has
lost a most loyal and true member, and
the community in which he lived. cit
izen of the highest integrity. We shall
miss him in the old home and in the
post room, but we hope to meet him
at the final inspection in the morning.

Open Paved Street

OPSH "vS<' R'<HSNe'
Stratford Courier: The mud of the
past week surely made many people
appreciate the new pavement. About
four blocks of finished paving on Ten
nyson street running west to The cOun.
ty line highway was opened up to
traffic Saturday morning following the
heavy rain of Friday night and it goes
without telling that il was used by ev-
ernone who had the least possible en-
cuse for using it. Every one of the
recent heavy rains has proven without
the shadow of a doubt that the town
council We're right in paving the streets
of Stratford and even the most skepti-
cal must admit that StratfOrd needed
the paving and needed it badly.

Someone Selling Booze?

Stratford Courier: The last two Sat.
urday nights there have been an un
unusual number of cases of drunkenness
in Stratford. 1t is certain that some
one here is selling booze and selling il
to everybody whom he can trust to
keep it quiet. There is really no Occa
sion why Stratford should harbOr the
bOotlegger and if the authorities arc
not able to cope with the matter it is
indeed time that citizens take hand III
it. A number Of our people are arous'
ed over conditions and few have
made it pretty plain that unless it is
stopped at once, state and county a,l-
thorities will be called in to take a
hand in the matter and the men who
are guilty of peddling booze to young
and old alike will be landed in the
state penitentiary where they belong.
1t is blot on our town that these
things should be going on here and it
is high time that halt be called.
Stratford people have gotten to the
place where they are going to demand
that something be done and that mighty
soon, too.

The books produced in any age IS
a sure index to the moral condition
and the mental strength and activity
Of that age The world has never
had great civilization that did not
express itself in many magnificent
bSS.7g. With few exceptions the most
widely read people have been those
who have done he advance thinking,
the most correct and resultful think
ing. characteristic Of all people Of
ancient days is that they made large
efforts to preserve their deeds ard
thoughts in well collected and well
arranged Libraries. The Alexandrine
library is clear proof Of the master
minds and profound thinkers Of that
ancient day.
Therefore it is our duty TO encour-
age reading and even book making
in our time Our public school has
made call for reference books and
there should be a liberal response on
