.,'armerS Picnic
Is Big Success
MAYOR L. C. HODGSON SPEAKS
TO BIG CROWD IN RAMSEY
STATE PARK FRIDAY.
EVERYBODY ENJOYS 1T.
GOOD PROGRAM ENTERTAINS
CROWD IN BIGGEST COMMUN-
ITY GATHERING OF SEASON.

With a good day, good crowd, a
good program and mighty good lunch
es, the Paxton Farmers Club picnic
held in Ramsey State Park last Fri
day was one of the most successful
picnics held in the Park during it's en-
tire history Much of the credit for
the success of the day is to be given
the president of the Club, c. E. Good
year and the secretary A. nj. Dennis
toun who were untiring in their eff
forts to make the day a pleasant one.
1t was the aim of these men and the
other members of the Club to make the
day one of social meeting, big COM
munity gathering in which the people
of both town and country got togeth-
er in a general good time. Their aim
was fully met and everyone who at
tended felt well repaid. Business
houses closed from twelve until the
close of the afternoon program and
the residents of the town took part in
the good time, many of them taking
their lunches to the park.
The day started with parade of the
farmers and their families from the
Northwestern depot to the log cabin
in Ramsey Park. The parade includ-
ed practically all members of the Pax
ton Club and some of the other farm
ers of the vicinity who joined with
them This parade was followed by
the luncheon. Then came the program
beginning with several selections by
the Scenic City Band. Max R. H. Treu
Redwood County Farm Agent, then
led the audience in few well known
songs. The Paxton Girls Club sang
several selections, Miss Myrtle Ramey
gave reading and Miss jamie Street
er sang couple of songs.
President Goodyear then introduced
Lawrence c. Hodgson, the mayor of
Saint Paul, who gave the address of
the afternoon. Mr.. Hodgson talked
broadly along the lines of community
cooperation not only the cooperation
which makes for the better and closer
union of material good for the COM
munity but for the bigger and broader
cooperation which comes from a gen
uine love for ones fellow beings Mr..
Hodgson made it clear to his listeners
| that the problems which are perplex-
| ing the nation today are not to be set
| led by mere legislation, but depend for
their solution upon sympathetic un-
derstanding of one human being for
another. The address was character
lied by "Larry's" usual simplicity and
sincerity and was most enthusiastical-
ly received by his audience.

Club and the Paxton Farmers Club

INCREASE OYER 1919.

The total value of export shipments
from the United States during the fis-
cal year ended June so, was SS,110,-
100000 the largest in the history of
the country's foreign trade, according
to financial bulletin published by the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce of the Department of Com
merce. This shows an increase of
S79,00O,O00 over the exports during
1915 which totaled $3,096, 100000
The imports for the fiscal year end
ed with june was S5,238, 100000, the
figures show, which represents an in
crease of SO, 100000 over the i'm
ports of the fiscal year 1919, which
totaled S3,095 100000.
Imports in June, according to the
report, totaled S553,000, 900, an in

One-half of the June imports con-
sists of dutiable articles, the largest
proportion of dutiable imports in any
month since July, 1911. This is said
to be due to unusually large imports
of sugar.
June exports amounted to S631, ,000,-

Minnesota River
Waters ?
- - tl
BOTTOM IL ~, KGING AS
DEVAST FIELDS AS
FLOOD WATERS WORK
BACK TO CHANNEL

The Minnesota river which has been
overflowing the bottom lands on the
valley the past three weeks is now
gradually receding but thousands of
acres are still under water. The lands
which now begin to emerge from un-
der the flood water are sorry sight
with crops ruined Corn was knee
high or better when the flood waters
came but these fields are now nothing
but slime and mud flats.
The enormous annual damage which
is caused by the floods of the river
can hardly be overestimated. More
than ninety thousand acres of Mime
sofas most fertile lands are now an
nually inundated, and have been for
the past six years. With each COM
ing year the floods become more GER
tain as ditching from the vast prairies
becomes more general. If the valley is
to be left in its present state of drain
age the loss in the next ten years will
amount to astounding figures. The
farmers who until recent years, before
the big prairie drainage projects were
started, were prospering in the tilling
of their lands, are now finding them
selves facing poverty with their lands
liability on their hands. The situa-
tion calls for state action if not federal
action. The valley farmers have or
gained, protected and fought for their
rights i'm vain. Each year sees big
ditching projects on the prairies car
ried to completion which more Ger,
tainly clinches the destruction of the
valley crops.
Aside from the serious crop loss ev-
cry year, the damage resulting to
roads crossing the valley and to sus-
pension of traffic during three to five
weeks during the busy summer sea
son runs into hundreds of thousands
of dollars. That the annual loss fig
uring crop, road and traffic damage
runs into more than two million dol
lars is conservative estimate which
can be easily understood by anyone
who has given the situation the sligh-
test study.-Franklin Tribune.

improvements Planned.

The Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
way is making extensive improve
ments to their roadbed on this divi-
sion. Roadmaster Carney says that
the company expects to- lay 26 miles
of new eighty pound steel rail be-
tween Sanborn and Cohden,. and Slee-
py Eye to Milford siding near New
Ulm. The roadbed will also be gray.
eled from Tracy to Springfield and
from Golden to Sleepy Eye. Rail lay
ing has commenced in the Sanborn
yards, where large number Of Sec
tion men have been employed for the
past few weeks. The company ex-
poets to increase the force of men con.
siderable within the near.future.
The stockyards at Sanbofn are alse
being improved by hauling in many
carloads of cinders. The new water
tank being built in Sanborn is also
giving employment to a large crew OF
men. The new tank will be nearly
double the capacity of the old tank
but both will be kept in use Sanborn
