Swain Gets Agencies.

Hugh Swain, well known automo-
bile dealer, has been made the dis
trict distributor for two cars, the Hud-
son and the Essex and is this week
giving demonstrations of both cars
at the Redwood County Fair. Mr..
Swain is no novice in the automobile
game having been one of the success
full dealers of this vicinity for many
years, and he has great confidence in
his new cars, which, coupled with his
wide experience as dealer, should
make for him the immediate success of
his salesmanship. The Hudson has
already an enviable reputation among
the higher priced cars in Minnesota
and the Essex which is newer car
and not so well known in this vicinity
is the more modest priced of the two.
MIR. Swain has his demonstrating
ears here and has been busy for the
past several days showing them to in
terested persons in this locality.

Class Organizing
for Winters Fun
COMMUNITY GYMNASIUM CLAS-
SES MAKING UP PROGRAM -
FOR INDOOR SPORTS.

The gymnasium classes for the win
ters work at the Community House
are now organizing and the making
up of schedule which will accomnle-
date all those wishing to use the gym
and the bowling allies is the problem
now confronting the management.
Several applications for time have al
ready been made and it is requested
that those who wish to use the build
ing shall signify their intention as
soon as possible, notifying either the
superintendent of the building of Dr.
E. c. Horn.
1t is to be understood that any
group of boys or girls, or men or wo-
men may have the privileges of the
building by asking for them and by
signifying that the group has leader
who is responsible for the use made
of the building during the time the
group occupies it. There is no charge
made for the use of the building and it
is not necessary that the group occu-
pying it shall be of necessity a group
representing an organization of any
church, although each and every
church organization, of whatever de-
nomination, is most heartily welcome
What is necessary, however, is ade-
quate leadership for each group.
The community house is exactly
what its name applies-a house or
home for the community. 1t belongs
to the public in purpose and the public
is urged to make use of it. In order
that the best and fullest use may be
made of it, however, it is essential
that there be the most cordial coop
Grafton between the public and the di-
recting forces. For that reason, and
to stretch" the possibilities of the
gymnasium and the bowling allies as
far as possible, it is desired that ar
rangements for hours be made as rap
idly as possible. Get your organiza-
tion together, select leader, apply to
Mr.. Gillian or Dr. Horn for hours,
and set about the systematic enjoy
ment of the gymnasium.

.SanbOrn Show
Is Big Success
LIVESTOCK SHOW
HELD LAST TUES. HAS MANY
ADMIRABLE FEATURES.

The first annual Livestock Show
and Sale given by the Sanborn Tri-
County Breeders Association at San
born Tuesday, Sept. 21, turned out
to be an interesting and successful
affair, says the Sanborn Sentinel. The
weather was windy and hot which
perh aps interferred some with the at
tendance, nevertheless large crowds
were in town. Vehicles commenced
arriving with people from all direc-
tions long before noon, and after the
dinner hour the town was crowded.
Pilot Snyder arrived with his air
plane about 1920 and gave an inter
esting exhibition of stunt flying at
noon. He proceeded to carry pas
sengers until late in the afternoon in
spite of the strong wind, until about
four O'Clock, when his propeller and
running gear were damaged by the
wind interference while making a
landing. Tom Casey was in the ma
chine at the time. The pilot and pas
senger were not injured.
Judging of the livestock which was
on exhibition in the VIM. Waterman
barns took place before noon, and
after dinner large crowd attended
the sale of the animals. About a
hundred and fifty animals were on ex-
hibition, and of those entered for sale,
about fifty were sold at auction.
Those who did not attend the sale
amused themselves with the different
entertainment stands which had been
placed on the streets. The Rainbow
Amusement Co. with merry-go- round,
ferriswheel and numerous shows and
booths attracted the attention of many
as also did the kewpie stands, refresh
ment booths, etc, which had been
erected by the band boys and differ
ent church benefit organizations The
Sanborn Cornet and Reed Band fur
nished snappy music throughout the
day.-Sanborn Sentinel.

City May Lose
Laundry Plant
OWNERS WILL GET EQUIPMENT
READY FOR SHIPMENT
UNLESS BUYER COMES.

Redwood Falls may lose one of her
industries, the owners of the Redwood
Falls laundry plant, planning to sell
The equipment to an out of town pur-
chaser within the week. In that case
he machinery and other equipment
will be shipped out of town. The deal
is now being postponed for few days
TO give the committee appointed by
the Commercial Club an opportunity
to find a purchaser who will operate
the plant here. If such a purchaser
does not appear within the next few
days, the present proprietors, Messrs.
Makiesky and Shiffer announce that
they will shut the plant down next
week and prepare for shipping.
Redwood Falls can i'll afford to be
without laundry and it is still hoped
that something may be done to keep
the plant here although the present
owners have definitely announced their
intention to leave the city. This plant
was purchased by them two years ago
at cost of seventy-five hundred dol
lars. During their term of ownership
they have expended an additional nine
thousand dollars in thoroughly mo-
ueflllZllS tuS pldill anu eQulppiHS 1t
with the most complete and up-to-date
machinery for the operation Of laun-
dry, dry cleaning and tailoring es-
tablishment and shoe repair shop.
An appraisal was made two weeks
ago by member of the Laundry Ma
chine Company of Minneapolis and the
appraised value was placed at more
than twenty-four thousand dollars, all
machinery having greatly increased in
value during the last few years.
The plant is not only source of in
dustry and a convenience to the city,
but it is also the means of keeping
the money expended for laundry at
home instead of sending it to outside
towns. The books show that last year
the firm expended locally $19,SS7.34,
and over ten thousand dollars of this
was paid in salaries to local families
for labor This money will of course,
in the event of the plant being moved,
be spent away from Redwood Falls
In addition to this will be the expense
and inconvenience of sending laundry
work out of town to be done. 1t ap-
pears that Redwood Falls can not af-
ford to be without a plant, and since
the present one is thoroughly adequate
it would seem imprudent to allow it
to escape.

Seed Corn Week
Well Observed
A FEW HINTS ON PROCEEDURE
OF MAKING SELECTIONS THAT
MAY BE OF INTEREST TO
OUR READERS.

The seed corn time set aside by
the state department of agriculture
is past. Have you secured your seed
corn? If not, why not do it today
so as to insure your next years corn
crop? Let's keep the wheel of I'M
provement rolling.
In the State of Minnesota, in the
year of 1909, 100000 acres of corn
was planted, and 58,812,000 bushels
harvested, or "a bushels per acre. Ten
wears later, 100000 acres were
planted, and 118,OOO,0OO bushels har-
vested, or 40 bushels pei. acre.
The selection and curing of the
seed has had much to do with this in
crease. So to keep up the increase
Of the corn crop in Minnesota, we
must have good seed of the right
variety, and the best way to get this,
is by picking the seed from your field,
or arrange with some neighbor to pick
from his field, where the corn is well
matured by the 18th of September. Do
not pick the ears that are too thick.
The length will not hurt so much, but
ears measuring from to inches
around, and from 8 to 10 inches long.
Nine inches is very good length.
They must not taper, but carry their
size we'll to the point. Then after
picking about SO ears for every acre
you intend to plant, don't take it home
and throw it into pile some place
but hang it up or lay it in racks one
ear deep so it will dry quickly, and do
not let it freeze until perfectly dry.
The C. & N w. has installed new
a5-foot electric turnable in the yards
at Tracy. 1t has been in course of
construction during the past summer
and the new equipment makes it pos
sible to handle the largest locomo-
tives with ease. The foundations and
pit are concrete and the table itself is
of the heaviest structural steel On
one end of the table is cab in which
the operator has full charge of the
electric motor, which propells it. The
equipment is similar to that now in
use at Waseca 1t was put in to ac-
commodate the large type of engines,
which were placed in service on the
Minnesota division last summer. The
Tracy round house is also being re-
modelled to accommodate the large en-
gines. A new well is being drilled to
supply necessary water at that point.
Other improvements are being made
in the yards at Tracy and when COM
pleted the business of the c. & N. W.
will be handled with more ease and
dispatch

Vegetable Crops Good.

The Chicago Packer is authority for
the statement that despite the general
belief that the continued dry weather
in the northwest has caused a short
age in the commercial potato crop,
there is an increase this year Of from
twelve to fifteen per cent over the
yield CT last year. The quality is also
fine. The states Of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois show a decided increase over
their crops of last year.
In the big potato states of Min
nesota, Wisconsin and Michigan it Is
likely that the potato crop may not
be quite as large as last year, but it
is big nevertheless. The crop is as
good, taking into consideration the
entire yield. Nebraska has a good
big crop this year. The Rocky Noun
tain states of Utah and Wyoming have
better crop than last year, accord
ing to reports submitted. There is
also a better potato crop in the north
west including Washington and Ore,
gon. and also in California than last
year.
What is true of potatoes is also
true of the commercial onion crop
this year. The acreage this season is
larger than last, and it now looks
like a good late onion crop New
York, California, Ohio, Indiana and
Massachusetts in the order named are
the biggest onion growing states in
the union. Taken in the aggregate
they have this year 10000 acres of
late commercial onions. Next in i'm
portance to the states mentioned are
the states of New Jersey, Minnesota,
Iowa, Michigan, Kentucky and Wis
consin, each with more than one thou
sand acres.
The cabbage crop in the northwest
is much larger than that of last year
and the quality is reported to be very
good. Government reports state that
there will be 48,367 cars of this prod
uct this year as against 31,066 last
year.

RETAIL CLOTHIERS IN CHICAGO
WORK FOR LOWER COSTS AT
BIG CONVENTION.

F. G.. Hubbard one of Redwood
Falls leading clothiers, returned home
Friday from visit to Chicago where
he attended the National Retail Cloth
iers Convention. He was one of more
than one thousand delegates to attend
the meeting of the organization which
has a membership of over six thousand
of the most progressive retail cloth
ing merchants in the United States,
embracing every state in the union.
More than rs per cent of the retail
clothing business is done by the mem
bers of this organization.
Mr.. Hubbard brings good news to
the wearer of clothes. After listen
ing to clothing manufacturers in the
principal markets in the United States
who attended the Convention, he is of
the opinion that the peak of high
prices" has been reached
Zone of the most interesting events
of the Convention" he said, was the
statistics brought out by Professor
Horace E. Secrist, head of the De
partment of Business Research of the
Northwestern University, developing
the fact that members of this Asso-
citation were operating on the lowest
margin of profit ever reported in the
clothing business. He indicated that
the clothier wanted to do his part in
bringing conditions back to a normal
basis"
Professor Secrist showed by survey
of 276 merchants, distributed in all
parts of the United States and doing
business of over $28,000,000 a year,
that the retail merchant pays $1,000
for every one hundred dollars worth
of clothing sold and that it costs $22.-
70 to sell it, leaving profit of only
$3.50 on each 800 transaction, or a
little over 7 per cent. Out of this
$3.50 the merchant mast pay the In
come, Excess Profit and all other tax
eS.
Every member in that Conven-
tion," Mr.. Hubbard declared, was
working for the stabilization of pric-
es and to obtain lower costs for mer-
chandise from the manufacturers. 1t
is gratifying to report that the manu-
facturers were all willing and anxious
labors of the Convention were bent to
this cause and the retailers agreed
to do what they could to accomplish
this purpose.
They urged that merchandise be
sold at the smallest profit margin
possible.
Mr.. Hubbard, although very busy
during the convention had time enough
to devote a portion of his visit to
pleasure. The delegates were enter
tanned by The Associated Statesmen Of
Chicago during their four days visit
He was guest at big banquet and
vaudeville entertainment at the fam
Gus Marigold Gardens, where the
members of the convention were ad-
dressed by former senator J. Hamil-
ton Lewis, the democratic candidate
for governor, and the Honorable Fred
Lands Of Indiana, brother Of Kene-
saw Mountain Lands, the federal
Judge who fined the Standard Oh
Company $29,O00,000. The delegates
also visited the Terrace Gardens,

Sugar Beets Shipped.

The Minnesota Sugar Company has
started harvesting sugar beets in the
vicinity of Redwood Falls and the first
carload was shipped from here to the
factory at Chaska Friday September
%. The local field agent estimates
that between thirty and forty car
loads will be shipped from this point
this season. Harvesting Of the crop
will be in full swing next week and
it is little early yet to give an ac-
curate general average of the ton
yield per acre. But the beets are of
good quality and good yield is ex-
pected.

Garages Consolidate.

The latter part of last week a deal
was made whereby Matt Younemann
bought out his partner, Peter Fischer.
becoming sole proprietor of Fischer's
Garage, and in turn made another deal
with VIM. McPhee whereby he pur-
chased the stock, accessories, etc, of
the East Side Garage which he took
possession of on Friday. He moved
all implements and tools from the old
Fischer Garage to the East Side Gar
age and will conduct that place in the
future. Messrs. Youngmann and Fisch-
er have been in the auto business in
Sleepy Eye for many years and are
experts in auto repair work. Mr.
Fischer viii be associated with Mr..

gue's candidacy the Ivanhoe Times
says:
Judge Frank Clague will again
have an opponent at the general cleo
ton in the same person whom he de-
feated at the primaries, who in this
heat of the race comes forth as an
Independent. The voters are not TAX
ing kindly to the candidate who has
been counted out in the prelimina-
ries and then comes back again in
the big show, and it is freely predicted
that Clague's opponent will be set
down so hard and firmly on Novem-
Der End, that he will realize he has
been thoroughly spanked The NOM
inee, Judge Clague, is without a peer
