Redwood Falls, were married Wednes-
day morning, December twenty-ninth
at the Methodist Church of Redwood
Falls, Rev. Burdette L. Main, pastor
of the church reading the service. The
ceremony occurred at ten-thirty o.
clock and was attended by the rela-
tives and friends of the young couple.
The attendants were Miss Blanche
Clark, the aunt of the bride, and STAN
ley Beer. Following the service the
wedding party went to North Redwood
where dinner was served at Hotel
Weis and Mr.. and Mrs. Ahrens then
left for Minneapolis for short stay
before going to their home at Sarles,
N. D., where Mr.. Ahrens is engaged
in business. Mrs. Ahrens is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Beer of
Redwood Falls and the groom is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Ahrens. Con-
gratulations are extended by their
many friends in this locality.

Big Show Planned.

What promises to be the biggest and
best Poultry show ever held in this
county, is indicated by the plans now
being made by Max Treu, secretary
of the organization and County Agent
of the Farm Bureau. The date has
not definitely been fixed nor has the
place of the show been decided upon.
Yet, from what could be learned here
and there it seems that it will take
place either at Lamberton or Nor
gan early next month Poultry keep
ers in Redwood County are urged to
exhibit their stock, for, in addition to
the big money premiums six or more
large loving cups will be awarded to
the successful poultry raisers of Red
wood County. Then there is the big
silver cup Of the Farmers & Merchants
Bank of Morgan, the Hubbard Davis
Co. cup of Redwood Falls and the As
lesson and Hillig prize of Redwood
Falls. Besides all these prizes there
will be medals and other valuable pre-
miums. It seems great pity that
our poultry raisers will allow poultry
men from outside the county to come
and carry off these prizes when we
have birds that cannot be surpassed, .
said Mr.. Treu. Persons who contAn-
plate sending their birds I'd the show
should communicate with Nj. MAJ
Treu at Redwood Falls immediately. 1

REPUBLICAN ELECTORS OF

Nearly 100000 Minnesota men and
women thought they were voting for
president Nov. 2. What they were do
ing was to vote for electors, who will
cast the vote for the state. Governor
j. A. A. Burnquist has sent notices

The prediction is they will vote
unanimously for Senator Warren G.
Harding Of Ohio for president and for
Governor Calvin L. Coolidge of Mas
sachusetts for vice-president. There
is good ground for the prediction. The
IL electors were nominated at a re-
publican state convention. The same
convention sent delegates to Chicago
and took part in the republican ma

ed at that convention.

Is Sought
LEGISLATURE ASKED TO ALLOW
SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS
FOR REPAIRS.

The Redwood Falls Armory is bad
ly in need of certain repairs and the
necessary funds for the making of
such repairs will be asked for from
the present legislature. Representa-
tives Bendixen and Praxel have sug-
gested that a petition signed by resi-
dents Of Redwood Falls should be
presented with the bill which Con-
grossnlar. Frank C,,ague has kindly
consented to frame Copies of the
petition are now to. be found at both
the Hitchcock and Public Drug Stores
and al voters, both men and women,
are requested to call and sign. This
matter must be given immediate at
tention as the committee in charge
wishes to send the petition. to the
capitol within short time.
Just how badly repairs were needed
at the Armofy was ascertained when
committee appointed by President
Bramnler of the Commercial Club
inade an Investigation. This commit
tee consisting of D. L. Crimmins. A.
Vihstadt and G. W. Gold in company
with Col. Fuller Of the Fifth Regiment
went over the building thoroughly up
on the occasion of the ColonePs Wis
it mere a short time ago. The Colonel,
as a commonding officer, authorized
the claim made by the committee that
considerable sum should be spent
by the state upon the upkeep Of the
Afmory which is, in large measure,
the property Of the state. His judg-
ment has been seconded by State
Auditor Preus who has agreed that

accrues against the Armory property
with the paving of Second Street. It
is greatly hoped that with this sane
tion from military and official quar-
ters, that the Redwood County Repre-
sentatlyes in the House and Senate
may find it possible to obtain the nee
essary appropriation, but in order to
do this they must have the absolute
cooperation of all citizens Of the city
At the time Of the erection of the
Armory which was authorized by the
1911 Legislature when Redwood Coun-
ty was represented by j. R. Keefe
III the House and Frank Clague in the
Senate, an appropriation of fifteen
thousand dollars was made by the
state. To this sum fourteen thousand
dollars was added by, the individual
citizens of Redwood Falls who recog-
nized the needs of the city for a
building of this type. Since that time
an appropriation of a thousand dol
lars has been made by the city coun-
ell to nay for the installation of the
city heating system in the building.
Practically nothing has been dore in
the nature of repairs or improvements
and the building should receive inn
mediate attention

In Comes the
Income Tax
FORMS WILL BE SENT TO ALL
PERSONS WHO FILED RE-
TURNS LAST YEAR.

It may not be the most pleasant
thought that right after the holidays
when the Christmas smile has
scarcely begun to wane from the pub
lie countenance, so to speak-that
then comes the season for getting out
the scratch paper and the pencil and
figuring out how much of what we
have, or should have, really belongs
to us.
Internal revenue officers through
out the, country have received notice
from the bureau of internal revenue
in Washington to begin preparations
at once to- handle the large amount
of business expected after the first
of the year.
Extensive plans for aiding taxpay-
ers in filling their income tax returns
for 1920 are being made by the bu-
reau Revenue offices will visit
every county in the United States to
assist in making out the forms.
Forms will be sent out to all per-
sons who filed returns in 1919, but
failure to receive blank form does
not relieve person from filing his
return within the prescribed time, it
is announced. Copies are to be had
in the offices Of the collector of inter-
nal revenue, postoffices and banks
and will be available before January l..
The period of filing returns is from
January / to March Is, 1921. The
tax may be paid in full for the year or
in four installments, the first being
due on or before March Is, the second
on or before December Is. Persons
whose individual net income for the
year was $4,000 or less shall ask for
form 1OO4A, while those whose in
come was in excess of this amount
should call for form 1040.
Every single person whose net in
come was $1,000 or more, and every
married person whose income was
So 900 or more must file return. The
exemptions are 81 1000 for single and
$4,000 for married persons and heads
of families, plus an additional exemp-
ton of 5000 for each person dependent
upon the taxpayer for chief support,
if such person is under the age OF IL
years and incapable Of self support,
1t is necessary, however, under the
ruling Of the bureau, for every person
whose income is more than 81 900 SIM
gle and $4,000 married, to file returns
regardless of whether his income is
nontaxable by reason of exemptions.
The normal tax rate for 1920 is 4
per cent on the first $4,000 Of net
income above the exemptions, and 8
per cent on the remaining net income.
The. surtax rate, which is computed
without the benefit Of the exemption,
ranges from / per cent on the amount
of net income Of between $4,000 and
Sc 900 to 65 per cent on the amount
of net income in excess of 81 100000.

Makes Plans.

To care for the sick and disabled ex-
service men and nurses as it they
were their own kith and kin is the aim
of the committee on the sick and dis
abled for the Minnesota Women's aux
iliary of the American Legion, accord
ing to Mrs. Sandy Hamilton, chair
man of the Minneapolis committee.
A member from each auxiliary in the
city is to be appointed at once on this
committee, which is to do three things;
to seek out any neglected ex-service
men; to care for the wants of hospi-
tai patients, and to aid men not receiv-
ing their compensation.
Through the contact committee OF
the auxiliary which has just been ap--
pointed by DR.. Helen Hughes Hielsch-
er of Mankato, state president, all the
work is to be correlated with that OF
the Legion. On this committee, OF
which Mrs. George H. Barber is chair
man, are chairmen of the major COM
mittees; Mrs. Sandy Hamilton, sick
and disabled; Mrs. M. j. McFadden,
sick and disabled in st. Paul; Mrs. j.
u. McCahill, Lake City, legislation; and
Mrs. H. M. Haislet, St. James, Ameri-
can citizenship.
AuxiliarieS in the state are to help
in the work for the men who are con-
centrated in the twin cities, through
the two committees. Already 40 aux
iliaries have gotten in touch with the
work in the few weeks of the exis-
tence of the state organization and
the personal wants of 120 men in hos
tails were cared for at Christmas time.
The personal element is to be the I'M
portant consideration in this work.
Members already chosen on Mrs.
Hamilton's committee are the Mrs. M.
Kyle Wretloff of Kyle post auxiliary;
Mrs. Walter Mason of Calhoun post
auxiliary, and Mrs. Ella B. Johnston,
Theodore Peterson post auxiliary
They will keep lists of wants of the
various men which are to be sup
piled. The things desired are chiefly
warm socks, scarfs, sweaters, mittens,
helmets, bath robes, food, tobacco and
candy.
Theodore Peterson auxiliary has
purchased a victrola for use of the
boys at Thomas hospital. Auxiliaries
to Mark Hamilton and Theodore Pet
erson posts have raised 500 toward a
moving picture machine for use in
all the hospitals. The film exchanges
are cooperating in lending films.
