Time to Cut Weeds
Along Highways

Have you taken notice while driving
from your farm into town or from
town into the country just how many
miles of highway have tall obnoxious
weeds growing up on each side?
Those weeds should have been des-
troyed weeks ago before going to seed
and if not cut down before winter
what an awful road system we'll have
when the snow and winter winds be-
gan to blow.
There is law requiring that these
weeds be kept down but there seems
to be little or no attention paid to it.
1t would seem that here in Minnesota
with its high state of DEVELOPMENT
and high price of lands. something
more profitable than weeds should oc
cupy the many acres now going to
weeds. Each farmer should have pride
enough in the appearance of his land
to keep down the weeds and in their
stead harvest crop of timothy and
clover.
If your mail man should fail to de-
liver your mail some day next winter
you may consider that the snow. drift
ed roads due to those weeds along
some part of his route has made It
impossible for him to make his route.
Now that the harvesting of small
grain is over and you have breath,
ing spell, just take off an hous or so
and get rid of this nuisance.
Let's have a weedless road in Red
wood County this winter.

The Redwood Falls baseball team
will probably play its last game of
ball Wednesday, when ittwill cross
bats at the Lamberton diamond, with
the fast bunch of that city This is a
return game. When Lamberton play
ed the local nine here some weeks ago
the score was 3 to in favor of Red
wood Falls. The closeness of the
score indicates how evenly the two
teams were matched
However, the line up on the Lam
berton nine has been shaken up some
what since then, and it is also expect
ed that the Redwood Falls strategy
board will strengthen its weak parts
and put on the diamond team that is
full of pep and will play ball to the
finish. The fans are looking forward
to this game and want to see it play
ed strictly on its merits with first
class jumps to preside over the game
There was a double header at
Franklin, Sunday between Olivia and

The first game was Olivia l, Gibbon

Labor Endorses
Amendments No. /
MINNESOTA STATE FEDERATION
OF LABOR~AND OTHER Or
CARNATIONS FAVORS
BABCOCK PLAN.

Whatever question may have been
raised in isolated instances of the at
titude of labor toward Amendment
No. THE Babcock good roads plan
that question has been definitely dis
posed of by recent action of official
labor bodies.
The first official action was taken
at a meeting of the executive council
of the Minnesota State Federation of
labor at which unanimous approval
was given the good roads amendment.
Next the state convention of the
Working Peoples Nonpartisan Politi-
cal league at Rochester indorsed the
amendment with the reservation that
no bonds be issued by the state in
carrying out the plan. And the con-
vention of the State Federation of La
Dor at Rochester took similar action.
AS to the matter Of bond issue,
it's exceedingly unlikely that any
such issue ever will be needed or
authorized. The bond issuing power
is given the Legislature in the amend
ment largely because at the time it
was written the authors had not fore
seen how much revenue could be rails
ed by automobile license tax to pay
for operations without bond issue.
Since then conditions have changed.
The amendment requires that any
bonds issued under the law shall not
be sold below par and shall not bear
interest over 5 per cent. Of course it
would be impossible now or in the
very near future to sell a penny's
worth of bonds on these terms. 1t is
estimated that with 100000 motor
vehicles in the state by next year S5,-
100000 could be collected from license
fees and $2,800,000 from Federal aid,
making total of S8,200,0OO. 1t was
never intended to spend more than
S10,00O,000 on the plan in any single
year, and the road materials may be
so difficult to obtain next year that
it will be impossible to spend the So
100000 cash available. On each sue
ceeding year there would be more ma
chimes to be taxed. Moreover, the leg
islature is not limited to the average
of S18 per machine on which the above
calculation is made.
Labor is wise in indorsing this amend
ment, furthermore, because all but an
insignificant percentage of the mon
ey to be spent will go to labor. Labor
will manufacture the cement, quarry
the rock and prepare it and manufac-
ture the machinery to be used besides
laying the road itself Labor is a con
sumer of food the marketing of which
will be cheapened and facilitated by
good roads. And labor is an exten-
sive owner and user of automobiles. Is
there any possible reason why enlight-
ened labor should be against this

DIR. Osten-Sacken
Coming.

Redwood Falls is again to have the
great privilege Of hearing DIR. 0sten-

his audience upon the occasion of his
lecture here during one of the Liberty
Loan drives. This time DR.. Osten-
Sacken, who is now connected with the
Chicago Community Entertainment
Association, will appear at the Ar
mory with the other members of the
Company, two evenings and one after
noon early in November. This course
of lectures and musical entertainments
is coming to Redwood Falls under the
auspices of the Melvin Daskam Post

mems Auxiliary and promises to be a
very interesting and beneficial course.

Sheriff |. ]. kise
Attends Convention
SHERIFFS, POLICE AND DETEC-
TIVES HOLD INTERN ATIONAL
CONVENTION IN CITIES.

Sheriff l.. j. Kise was in attendance
at the international convention OF
Sheriffs, Police and Detectives that
was held in the twin cities the latter
pat of last week. These conventions
are held each year and much useful
information pertaining to crime and
criminals is brought up for discus
sion. Members from all over the
country were in attendance, and this
years meeting was an unusual sue
cessful affair.
Sheriff kise says that the detection
and Identification of criminals was
one of the big absorbing subjects to
come before the convention at this
time. Several finger-print experts
from the east were there, and they
gave the members an exhaustive out
line of the value of this by no means
new system. Mr.. Kise intends ito put
the flnger-print system in operation
at the county Jail, and all those who
come under his jurisdiction will be
compelled to have their finger-prints
taken for Identification purposes.
He is also making a study of the sys-
tenn for the purpose of aiding him in
the caputre of crooks. 1t is said that
in case man burglarises store he
invariable must touch something, and
whatever he touches he leaves the i'm
print of the balls of his fingers. This,
according to Mr.. Kise, is sufficient
evidence to cause his arrest, especially
il he is an old offender and has had
his finger prints taken by the author
tiles on some future occasion. As the
finger-print whorls on a persons
fingers absolutely differ, detection be-
comes matter of course.

WHITE BASS
BEING CAUGHT

Some of the local fisherman had the
good fortune to catch quite string
of white bass in the Minnesota River
one day last week This is the first
time any of these bass were caught
in this locality, and at first the local
anglers were unable to identify the
species. They are known as White or
Silver Bass, "R Chrysops" and are
plentiful in the Mississippi river and
are very good edible fish. They are
very fond of minnows, but they have
been known to bite on worms. 1t
would be a very good idea if the
game warden could be induced to
cooperate, to sein the Minnesota
where these. fish have been caught
and place several hundred of the
smaller ones in Lake Redwood. This
should be done at once.

Luce Line Again
Becomes Active
PLANS MADE TO RENEW FINAN-
CIAL ACTIVITIES ALONG ONE
BRANCH OF PROPOSED LINE.

st. Peter and Nicollet county resi-
dents who invested in the stock OF
the Luce Electric Line several years
ago will learn with interest that the
company is renewing it's financial OPP
erations. According TO the Noun
tain Lake View representative OF
the Luce Line has been in that village
of late interviewing the numerous
activities of the company.
Some four or five years ago, says
the View this company sold consider
able stock to local residents with the
agreement that the company would
build up to Mountain Lake inside of
three years or refund the money to
the purchasers of their stock at a
certain rate of interest. The company
has failed to do either, and in the eyes
of the law is at the mercy Of the stock
holders.
This company has, however con-
structed it's line as far as Winthrop
Minnesota. Inasmuch as they can
now run from Winthrop to the cities
in few hours but have to pay their
help for the entire day, they have de-
cided to extend their line for a dis
tance Of fifty miles, which would en-
able them to obtain considerable ex-
ira revenue without a material in
crease in their expenses. For this
they need considerable money, as can
be plainly seen, but Wall Street firms
have refused to extend them the need
ed funds unless they can do away with
the stockholders right to sue them for
breach of contract.
The plan of the Luce Electric COM
pany, as we understand it, is. this: To
each shareholder they will give one
share of terminal stock for every
two shares he now holds, and for this
additional share, the local sharehold-
ers, are to sign away all claims
against the company on the first con-
tract. This terminal stock, which diff
fers from that now held by the local
shareholders, has been paying divid-
ends regularly during the last few
years. Those who enter into the plan
outlined above are to receive divi-
dends on their stock beginning Sep
tember /.
Those who hold shares of the Luce
Electric company appear to be favor
able to the proposition advanced by
the company and most of them will
undoubtedly acquiesce.-St Peter
Herald.
