90 The prize for energy among Col
umbia University students this year
undoubtedly goes to Miss Theresa
| Thromp, who walked from her home
in Ferndale, Wash, to the very camp
US of the university, with a Colt 38
and with high-power rifle slung over
her shoulder. She left Washington
last spring and arrived in plenty of
time for the opening of the fall term
at Columbia.
Mrs.Jacob NJ. Ehrlich lives at a no.
tel in busy district of Manhattan,
but she knows there are creatures
which like quiet and country life.
Consequently she established farm
fifteen years ago where tired out
horses and cats and dogs could go and
spend the latter part Of their lives
resting by babbling brooks. The farm
IS, in fact, sanatarium for animals,
with lifetime home thrown in, in
the event the patients show signs of
liking it after they get all rested up.
Here is another argument for the
makers of simple, inexpensive look
ing cigarettes. Henry Britt was get
ting along fine the other day collect
ing money from Third avenue ele-
waited passengers by throwing a mod
est card in their laps stating II am
a cripple" In fact, he had collected
$40 in that one train. Then he ruined
it all by reaching into his pocket and
pulling out package of especially
high-priced cigarettes. A detective
saw him and he was undone.
We are not entirely a city of idlers
nor of restless people who change
from one job to another. Mrs. Cath
crime Millerman has conducted her
stand in Washington Market for just
sixty years. She celebrated her
eighty-fourth birthday last week, and
works at her stand from o'clock
every week morning to 6 in the eve
ming. And she says she hasn't begun
yet to notice one bit of monotony
in her life.

club work two Redwood County boys
will be given free trips to the Mime
sofa State Fair of 1921, according to

Erickson of St. Paul, the state leader

boys are Morris Anderson who won
the honors for the county on the corn
he raised and Willie Scanlon who rails
ed the prize pig. The boys and girls
of the Belview vicinity, both in the
village schools and the rural schools
adjacent, have been very active and
much interested in Club work and it
is a mark of their achievement that
these two boys shall represent the
county at the big state event next
September.
Prize money totaling $10,438.00
will be awarded to the winners in the
Boys and Girls Club Work competi-
tions at the Fair which is to be held

New Bus Line.


s. j. Markin of Minneapolis last
week started the Markin's Bus Line
which is to give daily service between
Redwood Falls, Olivia and Willmar
and all the intervening points. Opera
tions started with only one bus but
Mr., Markin intends putting second
machine into service about May 20 so
that two complete trips may be made
each day. This gives a north-and-
south service which is badly needed
since the railways lines are not ar
ranged to give a convenient service
in these directions. There is need
for a continuation of this service at
least as far south as Window and
it is hoped that this may be establish
ed in the near future The bus, ac-
cording to the present schedule, leaves
Redwood Falls at eight o'clock each
morning and return about seven o.
clock in the evening. 1t is probable
that this schedule will be changed up
on the arrival Of the second bus. The
machine used is comfortable and com
.venient and the service promises to
be- III every way q big asset to Red
wood Falls and the other towns visit

Women are Guilty.

The Girl Scouts are much incensed
over the action of two of the Young
matrons of Redwood Falls who picked
great quantities of flowers in Ramsey
State Park last Sunday, and among
the flowers were some Of the choicest
varieties in the Park which the Scouts
were especially anxious to save.
When asked by the girls to desist from
their destruction of the flowers, and
reminded that it is a depression of
the law to molest any of the plant life
in the Park, one of these young wo-
men rather fippantly said. "Well, we
will Just forget that we are in the
Park" k"-and kept right on. Courtesy
on the part of the Scouts is the only
thing that is protecting these women
from a sizable fine, as the Park Com
missioner and the Park Committee
stand ready to punish such offenders
to the full extent of the state law.
Thus far the girls who witnessed the
destruction have withheld the names
Of these women-the only reason the
Gazette doesn't publish them is be-
cause it hasn't learned them. We
have nothing but contempt for such
mauraders and no desire to see them
escape the undesirable publicity which
their action merits. It is useless to
try to teach the children of the locali-
ty respect for law or property when
women of mature years are so remiss
IN their duties of citizenship.

Bonds Carry in
Special Election
VOTERS FAVORABLE TO $4,000. 90
FOR PAYMENT OF ORNAMEN-
tai LIGHTING SYSTEM.

The ornamental lighting system
which Redwood Falls has desired for
so long time will be paid for by
bonds which were voted at the special
election called last Thursday. The
vote was very light totaling only five
hundred fourteen for the two wards
but four hundred, fifteen of these
votes were in favor of the bonds.
This means that the installation of
this system in the very near future
is assured and the payment OF, the
underground cables, switch board etc.
will be paid for by these bonds which
are issued for ten years, while the
posts and lights will be paid for by
the property owners in the business
section at cost of $1.00 per front
foot. The entire system when COM
pleted will cost about $14,000.OO.
It is a source Of considerable satis-
faction to the progressive element of
the city that SO many of the voters
were in favor of this system. The
paving is the biggest improvement
Redwood Falls has seen in many years
and it is quite fitting that other inn
provements should be made in keeping
with it. 1t is also matter OF
economy that these improvements be
made at this time to avoid disturbing
the paving after it is put in place

He Says It's Good.

C. F. Burdsall, representing the
Portland Cement Company, visited
Redwood Falls the other day. Mr..
Burdsall's business in life is to inspect
all cement paving, this being done for
the protection of the cement COM
panies and irrespective of all other in
spections. After a thorough inspec-
tion of the work being done locally
Mr.. Burdsall stated that the paving
was being splendidly done, the job be-
ing the best he had visited this sea-
son, and that Redwood Falls was as
sured exceptionally fine streets when
the work was completed.

Caught in the Act.

For months box car seals on the
road were found broke and doors
opened when the trains arrived at
towns and goods found missing. De-
tectives were put to their wits, and
they were laying for the guilty par
ties and their vigilence was rewarded
by the arrest Of a former brakeman
named Evans, who was caught in the
act of throwing out boxes of grocer
les and sacks of sugar from car on
a moving freight train coming out
of Mankato at about midnight We'd
nesday. The fellow had evidently
broken the seal and just as the train
pulled out of town he boarded the
train and about two miles out of
town the boxes and stuff began to
be thrown out of the train, NOM
ent or so later the fellow jumped
out of the open door and about this
time the two detectives jumped from
the caboose and captured the fellow.
This doings has been going on for
months, say the railroad boys and
someone had to be caught sooner or
later. There seems to be bunch Of
folks in Mankato bent on getting an
easy living by stealing and one of
their number came to grief.
