Given Reception

Mr.. and Mrs. A Jaehning who are
moving this week from Wood Lake to
Redwood Falls were recently rendered
a reception by the residents of Wood
Lake. The following account of it is
taken from the Wood Lake News.
"a farewell reception for the A. H.
Jaehning family was held last Satur-
day evening at the auditorium. AL
most every family in town was repre-
sented and as many of the country
people as could get out. A short but
entertaining program was rendered.
All the numbers were pleasing and the
company was surprised at the amount
of musical talent among our boys and
girls. Prof. Slettedahl gave a splen-
did talk on Friendship. The professor
is very able speaker, and his SINGER
ity makes his talks double effective
There was reading by Olive Long
and "piece" by little Evelyn Hall. The
male quartette consisting of Mr.. Slet-
tedahl, Bert Hall, Mr.. Barr and Har-
ry Payne closed the program. At the
close of the entertainment Mr. Frank
Swan in behalf of the company pre-
sented Mr.. and Mrs. Jaehning with
beautiful linen tablecloth and napkins,
and set of silver spoons, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jaehning responded to Mr.. Swans
speech feelingly. The people of Wood
Lake deeply regret losing these high
ly respected citizens and their pleas
ant well hammered little children"

Glenn Lukens who resigned during
the present school year to go to Wash
ington for government work, has ac-
cepted his reelection to his former po-
sition, the Board of Education recent
ly electing him at an increase in sal
ary. This means that Mr.. Lukens
will take up his duties as manual
training teacher in the public schools

the next school year. Since his re-
signation Mr. Lukens has been work
ing with soldiers who had been injur-
ed in the service and were suffer
ing either from wounds received in the
service or from shell shock. His work
has been done in connection with the
Walter Reed General Hospital at
Washington and has awakened his
keenest interest in these men who are
seeking to learn to use their injured
limbs in order that they may live in
dependent lives. MIR. Lukens return TO
Redwood Falls has been earnestly hop
ed for by the many admirers of his
work here He is one Of the rare
people particularly suited for the lea
dership of boys during the adolescent
period and his success with the boys OF
the city made him an invaluable mem
er of the teaching corps. He will
xswelcomed, however, not only by the
bows and their parents, but by the CT
tizens as a whole who recognize his
value as a member of the community.

Park Taken Care of

The committee consisting of J.. r.
Keefe. Frank Clague and H. A. Bald
win who visited the state capitol Mon-
day relative to the much-wished-for
Ramsey Park appropriation, came
home with highly satisfying reports.
Members of both the State and House
Committee of Appropriation are fav-
orably disposed toward the Park pro-
ject and much assurance was given the
Redwood Falls men that the bill alrea-
dy introduced allowing $4,000 for land
purchase and reasonable sum for
maintenance would pass both the Sen
at and the House. The Park has been
considerable expense to the, citizens
of Redwood Falls who have paid for
its upkeep during the past two years,
and legislative members feel that the
city should be relieved of this expense.
They also recognize the land adjacent
to Ramsey Park as some of the most
beautiful in the state and are convinc-
ed that it should become state prop
erty.

made at little after o'clock.
The return of the auto truck to the
garage was the first intimation of the
work of the robbers. At 7:30 call

Treat Wheat
To Avoid Smut
COUNTY AGENT ADVISES FARM
ERS TO ACT EARLY TO
PREVENT LOSS.

Losses from smut in the grains last
year caused the farmers of Redwood
County over IA 900 bushels of wheat
valued at the prevailing market price
of $28,OO0.00, the average loss per
farm growing wheat being over ST.
10000 Barley and oats probably
amounted to as great a loss, If not
more than did wheat. These figures
are based on a Government investi-
CATION which was made last summer,
just before the time of cutting, by Mr..
Monosmith of the u. S. Department of
Agriculture and County Agent f. L.
French.
This enormous loss can be prevent
ed by an expenditure of 80 cents to
ST 90 and little labor. It must be
done, however before the seed is put
in the ground, and not afterwards. The
method of treatment is as follows.
Prepare a solution of formaldehyde
by mixing one pint of formaldehyde in
40 gallons of water. Ask your drug
gist for formaldehyde of guaranteed
81 to 40 per cent strength. 1t costs
about so to IS cents per pint. Use
good seed. Before treating, clean with
a tanning mill to remove smut balls
and poor or scabby seed. Spread 4
TO s inches deep on the granary floor
or in wagon box. With sprinkl-
ing can apply the formaldehyde solu-
tion at the rate of / gallon to l and
1-2 bushels, except for oats which re-
quire a gallon to a bushel. Shovel
over until the seed mass is evenly wet
ted. Pile and cover to 5 hours with
bags or canvas previously treated with
formaldehyde. Dry by piling in a
thin layer and stirring occasionally
with rake. Seed may be sown when
dry enough to run freely through the
drill, setting the drill to SOW a suffi-
cient amount to allow for the swollen
condition of the grain. If to be stor-
ed for several days or longer, dry thor
oughly. Disinfect sacks, bins and drill
to prevent re-infection.

phone to the county agent, F. l..

Meeting Called
For Thursday
REDWOOD COUNTY TO FORM
HEALTH ORGANIZATION; RED
CROSS MAY COOPERATE.

A meeting called by Adella G.. Pratt
superintendent of Redwood County
Schools, for the purpose of organiz-
ing Redwood County along the lines of
a Better Health crusade will be held
at the courthouse Thursday afternoon
of this week, April 3. The hour of
the meeting has been set for one
o'clock and it is expected that at this
time there will be generous repre-
sentation from all parts of the coun-
ty present to take part in the work of
organizing. Similar organizations
have been started in nearly all the
counties of the state and are part
of the great national movement to-
ward health bettermeht and disease
prevention.
1t has developed that the Red Cross
organization, in all its various chap
ters and branches, is expecting co
take up seriously the work of improv-
ing health and health conditions and
it is believed that the County Red
Cross Chapter may become closely as
sociated with any health organization
formed at this time. This will greatly
increase the scope of the organiza
tons work and will be material
benefit to the county.
At the meeting Thursday it is pro-
bable that an executive board will be
elected and officers appointed. There
will also be consideration and dis
cussion of suitable constitution for
the organization. The public is ear
nestly requested to attend the meeting
and to learn more Of this work which
is so important to the future we'll
fare of the county.

Special Meeting
Makes Many Plans
COMMERCIAL C CLUB CONSIDERS
MANY TOPICS AND SETS
ABOUT DOING THINGS

A special meeting of the Redwood
Falls Commercial Club was held in the
club rooms Monday evening with Pre-
sident w. S. Brammer presiding. Sew
eral special topics were taken up for
discussion and some important bust
ness transacted.
The report of Secretary w. G. We'll
don on his recent attendance at the
Better Business Convention in Minnea-
polls was read and proved most inter-
esting. Mr.. Weldon brought back
many good suggestions to the local
business men. Extracts from his re-
port will be printed in the next issue
of the Gazette.
The matter of the memorial tablet
for the soldiers of this vicinity was
considered and it was decided to make
this tablet include the names of the
members of Company L and the boys
who hadgo into the service from the
city of Redwood Falls. A committe con-
sisting of r. A. Cooper, w. NJ Smith,
ID. l.. Crimmins, w. I'll. Ward, w. G..
Weldon and w. G.. Starr was appointed
to make arrangements for this tablet
During the discussion concerning
this memorial letter received from
the State Capitol was introduced by
Fl. M. Aune. This letter stated that
by recent act of the state legislature
all counties with a population of 2O,-
900 or over are granted state appro-
priation of 1000 for the building of
a monument to the soldiers and sailors
of the county. This appropriation will
undoubtedly provide for suitable and
monument to the sol
diery of Redwood County, and for that
reason it is practicable to make the
tablet already arranged for merely
local memorial.
A suggestion was introduced by w.
M. Smith that there should be an in
vestigation made of the practicability
of starting building and loan associ-
alton in the city, the more easily and
economically to provide homes for the
many families who desire to live in
Redwood Falls and for whom suitable
living quarters are not now available.
committee consisting of w G. We'll
don, G. A. Jaehning and J. w. Inglis
was appointed to study the matter and
to make report.
A committe was appointed to secure
a speaker for the annual Memorial
Day service May 30 and also one to
consider the advisibility of installing a
city scale. Reports of these various
committees will be made at the next
regular meeting.

Refugees In Need
of Many Clothes
EUROPEAN FAMILIES NEED
WEARING APPAREL EVEN
MORE THAN MONEY

The following article reprinted
from the current Red Cross Bulletin,
is of especial interest this week mas
much as the drive for second hand
clothing for the refugees is being
made at this time.
"The need for clothing among hun
dreds of thousands of refugees in
France is even more imperative than
food. That is the substance of state
ment contained in the report of fifty
investigators of the American Red
Cross working among the 100000 re-
fugees gathered in and about Paris
The report says:
"Most of the refugees families man
aged to nourish themselves on the
government allowance and their small
wages, but they are by no means able
to clothe themselves. AS the present
prices of clothing in France are pro-
hibitive, the need for this kind of as
sistance is obvious. Accordingly, we
decided to give food only when special
nourishment was ordered by a physi-
clan, but to continue to look after the
clothing need as imperative"
1T is estimated that the German in
vasion of France and Belgium made
wanderers of 1,250,00 formerly happy
country people of these countries.
Now that the conflict is over and
the occupied territories of France and
Belgium have been liberated, these
refugees are Fastening back to their
former homes in large numbers. They
have no thought of the ruins, the cold
weather, or their condition as regards
sufficient clothing, only the longing to
get back to their homes occupies their
minds.
'In passing their ruined villages and
towns, they can be seen standing in
the doorway of houses which have for
their roofs nothing but sheet of
canvas which sags under the weight
of the snow Smoke curls up from
hole in the ground, and investigation
of it's source discloses a family of four
huddled about a fire in the cellar of a
completely wrecked home. The child
rem wear old blankets and the parents
work and sleep in ragged patchwork
of costumes"
