Now and again we read Of q trades

summoned and fined scores Of times,
according to London Answers.
The Lords day obscrrances act for

man, workman. artificer or laborer to
work on Sunday, except for works of
charity or necessity. Further, the
above four classes are not to use any

food excepted, under penalty of S
shiiings.
II q horse dealer sells horse on
Sunday he cannot. in law. sue for its

equine transaction is horse dealer,
then the contract is perfectly good!
And II any ordinary trader sells
goods on Sunday in the ordinary
way Of his business he cannot only be
summoned, but If he has given credit
he cannot sue the purchaser! If, how
ever, the purchaser keeps the Sunday
bought goods, and afterward-on
week day-promises to pay for them,
then he can, OH default, be sued.
But-a wonderful act-farmers, at-
torneys, surgeons, cab drivers. coach
proprietors and Jews are exempt.
Why the act, which we see broken

not often invoked, is because proceed

identity Of Ancient Vessel Found on
Rockaway Beach Uncertain-May
Be Historic Pirate.

Rockaway Beach has another sensa-
ton, the Brooklyn Eagle states. Not
content with washing up hundreds Of
thousands Of crabs, Holsters and clans,
the great tide recently dug an ancient
oceanic relic out of the sands and left
1t to bleach in a winters sun, like
some skeleton Of a departed dinosaur.
According to Capt. Joseph Meade of
the Rockaway coast guard station, 1t

The ship is bluff-bowed, her spikes

The old salts who are experts on
such matters say the buried hull is

of 1912 privateers manned by adven-
turous Yankees frequently hung about
Jones inlet, towing in their prizes for
anchorage and running to shelter
when British men-o'wsr, out for re-
venge. bore down upon them.
Another tradition unearthed from
the old shippers of clipper ships. now
come to anchor on the Rockaway
shores, has it that Capt. Jones, for
whom Jones' inlet was named, at one
time just prior to the Revolutionary
war. pursued profitable trade in con-
traband in the vicinity, unknown to
the British customs. The handwrought
spikes and the general shape Of the
rotting wreck plainly indicate that
she was an oldtimer. very likely Of
Revolutionary times.

Tom Hoskin's Corn
"SEE IT AT THE FAIR"

Thomas Hoskins of North Redwood
captured the most of the worthwhile
prizes on corn at the Minnesota State
Fair last week Mr.. Hoskins took
first prize, sweepstakes, grand sweep
stakes and silver cup on his exhibit
of ten ears of yellow dent; first on
fifty ears of yellow dent, first on
single ear of white dent, third on ten
ears of white dent, fifth prize on oats
and first on any variety of dent in
the Crop Improvement Association
contest. Then Tom came home, de-
claring he had little patience with
any Redwood County men who would
want to carry off ALL the prizes.
Incidentally Thomas Jr., being the
legendary "chip of the old block" )"
took first prize and sweepstakes in
the boys class on yellow dent. There
has seldom been in past years a corn
exhibit even approaching the exhibit
this year and it is extremely crafty
ing to Mr.. Hoskins' neighbors that
he took care of the honors for the
county in such splendid shape. Mr..
Hoskins' exhibit win be part of the
display at the Redwood county fair.

Traffic Census

The Redwood County traffic census
which was taken the week of August
23-29, resulted in some very inter-
gssting figures which have been tabu-
lated by John F. O'Meara, the Red
wood County Highway Engineer. The
report shows the amount of team,
truck and automobile travel on the
three trunk lines coming into Red
wood Falls, the road north of San
born and the road west from Walnut
Grove. All details Of the report are
interesting and reveal the immense
amount Of traffic going through the
county at all times. The average
number of cars which were reported
for one day of the week is one thou
sand, eight hundred and seventy-sev..
en-: the average daily number OF
trucks is sixty-seven and the aver
age daily number of teams is one
hundred thirty-three. This report
would seem to indicate that Redwood
County is not so unpopular that trav-
elers are going out Of their way to
avoid going through it. The average.
number of cars on the road west OF
Redwood Falls is five hundred seven
ty-three. the average number east is
four hundred and forty-nine and the
average south two hundred forty-six-

Stock Exhibits.
Secretary c. Y. Everett has not
been altogether idle, either. "Chuck"
has done a few of the unimportant
little things like taking care of the
entry and housing of several purebred
herds that have been making the va
rious fairs, including the Minnesota
State Fair, and any number of pens
of purebred hogs. The entering of
these exhibits does not prove a prob
lem to Mr.. Everett but the housing
of them is causing him and his CO.
workers considerable planning and
manipulation of buildings and pens
in spite of the spacious quarters
which are a part of the equipment of
the grounds.
Among the out of the county ex-
hibitors who have made entries is l..
E. Potter of Brown county, who will
ship his wonderful herd of Herefords
here from Sioux City where they will
be exhibited the week prior to COM
ing here. With Mr.. Potter's shipment
will be shipped the splendid herd of
Chester Whites belonging to A. P.
Rams of Shutdown township. Mr.. Rams
has made a number of the biggest
fairs in the Northwest and has been
victor at most of them. 1t is ex-
pected Joe Fischer of Renville coun-
ty will bring his Herefords again
this year and L. E. Jones and Ray
Johnson, also of Renville county. will
be here with splendid hog displays.
Besides these men all the raisers Of
good hogs and cattle throughout the
county have signified their intention
to bring either single animals or a
number An inovation this year will
be the display of two Guernsey herds
by Redwood county men, c. E. Good
year of Redwood Falls and Mr.. Gill
Ian of Morgan. Guernseys have new
er been shown in Redwood county
heretofore and no arrangement has
been made for them on the premium
list. However, the showing of them
this year indicates clearly the re-
awakened interest in the dairy COW,
and the display of them will be
heartily welcomed by every farmer
who visits the stock barn as we'll as
by the members of the fair manage
ment who are making liberal ar
rangements for the prize winners.

ERNEST PORCHER OF ADA BE-
COMES OWNER OF POPULAR
CONFECTIONERY.

1t came as surprise to many of
the residents of Redwood Falls last
Saturday to learn that Mike and Joe
who have for the past fourteen years
conducted the exclusive confectionery
store and ice cream parlors of the
city, had disposed of their business.
The purchaser is Ernest Porcher of
Ada, Mimi, who will take possession
the first part of October. One of the
Lauterbach Bros. will remain with
the new owner throughout the win
ter, l.. Ever and Leo Barrett, the
candy-maker, have also accepted po
sitions with him and the high grade
of service maintained by the old firm
will be uninterrupted by the change
of ownership.
The transaction included the trans
fer of a large farm of six hundred
forty acres of land near Ada to the
Lauterbach Bros The transfer in
cludes a large number of fine farm
animals. the farm machinery and all
other farming equipment. The farm
stead includes a fine group of farm
buildings, a young orchard and other
attractive features The land lies in
one of the best farming districts of
the state and should be profitable to
the holders whether they dispose of
it or decide to farm it themselves.
They are at present undecided as to
what their future procedure will be.
1t is with keen regret that the city
sees this popular confectionery go
out of the hands of those who have
conducted the business so admirably
during their long tenure. Mike and
Joe last year moved into their fine
new building on Second Street, and
have now one of the most modern and
best equipped stores of this class that
can be found anywhere in the state.
1t has been in every way a credit to
the city and the clean and able man
agment has endorsed this credit in
every way.

Currier Resigns;
Baldwin Elected
Bank of North Redwood to Lose
One Splendid Cashier But
will Gain Another

At Monday meeting of the
directors of the Security Bank
of North Redwood the resigna-
tion of E. W.aCurrier was accept
ed and Clinton H. Baldwin elect
ed to take the place thus vacat-
ed. The change is not TO be
effective until October l.
Mr.. Currier has been the CASH
ier of the North Redwood insti-
tuition for the past eight years,
coming there from Nicollet, Min
nesota. He resigns in order to
accept a very excellent position
offered him by the Mutual Bene-
fit Life Insurance Company of
Newark, N. J. He will act as
district agent for this company,
his territory including seven
counties. He will retain his di-
rectorship in the Security Bank
and will make the bank his office
headquarters, also continuing as
a resident of North Redwood.
Mr.. Currier leaves the bank with
the keen regret of its officers and
stockholders. His service has
been faithful and characterized
by an integrity and sterling up
rightness which have made him
not only an invaluable member
of the banking fraternity but All
excellent and helpful citizen.
The banks clientele has only
good things to say of his service
in the bank and in the communi-
ty and he leaves a most enviable
record. Under his able manage
ment the bank has succeeded
wonderfully we'll and is a SUBJ
stantial and enterprising insti-
tuition in which the village has
a most justifiable pride.
Clinton Baldwin, who succeeds
Mr.. Currier, is not a new conner
to North Redwood, he having
been Mr.. Curriers' assistant
cashier for some time. He is
not a novice to any branch OF
the banking business, having
been associated with his father,
H. A. Baldwin, in the First Ma
tional Bank of Redwood Falls
since his high school days with
the exception of a years work
at the State University and his
term of nearly three years of
military service. Mr.. Baldwin's
study at the University, where
he took a course in commercial
law. is of great value in his
banking work and proves valu-
able addition to the training
which his long practical expert
ence hasSgiven him. The patrons

Grocery Sold

The Mcpherson Grocery recently
became the property of M. A. Eb-
right of Redwood Falls. Mr.. Eb-
right will take possession October l
and Mr.. Mcpherson will be associated
with him for the next several months.
This puts one of the best grocery
businesses in the city into the hands
of an expert groceryman, Mr.. Eb-
right having been salesman for the
past several years for one of the
largest wholesale grocery firms OF
the Northwest. The sale included the
stock and the building which Mr.. Nc
Pherson had entirely remodeled and
modernly equipped at the time of his
purchasing it. The establishment has
earned weH-merited patronage from
the families of both the city and the
near-lying farm homes and there is
little question but that this patron
age will continue during Mr.. Eb-
rights reign.

JOHN PAUL KEEFE FINDS KICK

John Paul Keefe of St. Paul, known
to many Redwood Falls friends
through his visits here to his uncle
Jos. r.. Keefe, rode on the engines
that featured the head-on collision at
the State Fair last week. From the
account John Paul wrote for his pa
per, the Saint Paul News, it is quite
readily determined that he will never
repeat the offense.
