City Election
Held Next tuesday
VOTERS WILL ELECT MAYOR,
TWO ALDERMEN, RECORD
Err AND TREASURER.

The annual municipal election of the
city of Redwood Falls will be held next
Tuesday, January 6, at the usual pol
ling places. At this election there will
be elected a mayor, recorder, treasur-
er for terms of one year each, and one
alderman for each ward, for term Of
two years each.
So far there is no sign of a contest
and fortunately the present council
mombers have all filed for office, sc
that the good government of the city
for the next year is assured. Thos
having filed are Mayor VIM. NJ Smith,
Recorder, r. G. Rutter, Treasurer G.. A.
Patton and Aldermen John Knudson
and C. C. Little. These officers have
administered the affairs of the city
we'll, both in their individual offices
and collectively as members of the
council and a continuation of their
services is very greatly to be desired
Aldermen Vihstadt and Schilt were
elected for two year terms at the last
election and still have one year Of
their terms to serve.
It is especially DESTROYS that there
be no change in the city government
at present as the present Council has
several Improvement projects in view
for the coming year and it would be
quite impracticable for new officers
to take over the work at this time and
carry it through. One of the pro
jects is the paving program by which
the city will add several blocks OF
paved streets to its improvements
This project as well as well planned
drainage system for the city have
been the Recipients of much time and
study on the part of Mayor Smith and
the city is fortunate in having him
consent to carry on" until the work is
finished or al ieast well started

eminent bonds are the safest Invest
ment on earth. But many of them do
not. perhaps. know just how 10 explain
their belief.
one Of the reasons why United
States government bonds are the
safest investment on earth tx that the
United States now possesses one-third
OF the worlds gold. This has come
about rs a result of the war. The ma
tion had large gold holdings before the
fighting began In 1914, but since then
the nations Of the earth have been
forced 20 send us shiploads of gold In
order To get needed supplies and main
tain trade relations.
The Federal Reserve banks do not
hold. probably, more than two-ihirds
OF this nations supply Of gold, yet
they have in their reserves more than
one-half as much as the state banks

STRANGEST OF SHIP FREAKS
British inventor Must at Least Be
Credited With the Possession Of
Much imagination.

Since that memorable day long ago
when our rude forefathers first ven
tured ailoat in their dugout canoes
many very curious ships have been
built. Perhaps the most extraordinary
of all these freaks was the steamer
Connector. which was launched in
British waters I'm 1853.
Tie Connector was built in three
sections. each of which was. So 70
SPEAK ship OF itself The bow or
forward section, which was fitted up in
the usual way, was iolnted to the mid
ship section by means OF a huge bolt
in such a manner that as the ship
pitched. IL could rise or fall quite in
dependently OF the other two sections.
Thus. as the ship met the waves a
kind of wriggle ran along the huh.
First the bow section rose then the
midShip section followed suit. and
finally the stern section wrigsled up
ward
The craft passed safely through
some very severe trials. and even ven
tured out in heavy weather. The idea
was to build up ships In sections like
trains, So that any particular section
could be dropped at the various ports
of call
