DR.. A. A. Joss.

DIR. A. A. Joss, formerly rector of
the Church of the Holy Communion
here died at st. Barnabas Hospital in
Minneapolis Friday morning. Funeral
services were held at Lakewood Chap
Ell in Minneapolis Monday morning at
eleven o'clock, Bishop McElwain and
DR.. James Freeman of the Church OF
st. Marks officiating. Interment was
made in the Lakewood cemetery. DIR.
Joss was seventy-six years of age and
retired from his work as member of
the Episcopal clergy at the time he
left Redwood Falls for Minneapolis.
Since his removal there he has lived
life of strict retirement made neces-
sary by his constantly failing health.
He is survived by his wife and their
only son, Attorney Louis Joss of Min
neapolis. Redwood Falls has seldom
had as a resident so fine character
and so gracious personality as it
enjoyed in DIR. Joss and his friends
here include all who came in contact
with him. While he was handicapped
much in his aspirations and ambitions
by physical weaknesses, his brilliant
mind and genuine lovableness earned
for him warm place in the memories
of all who knew him.

Many Attend Lecture.

DIR. A. w. Ross lectured to a crowd
ed auditorium at the Presbyterian
Church last Thursday evening, basing
his address upon his ten years of life
among the Kewatin Indians. The lee
ture was given at the invitation of
the Missionary Society of the church
Of which DR.. Ross is pastor. The ad-
dress was one of intense interest from
start to finish, DR.. Ross beginning
by giving a sketch of his trip into the
Kewatin territory, giving glimrses of
the difficulties of travel in the early
days of the Seventies and following
by complete description of Indian
life. His portrayal of the Indians in
their primitive state, their truthful
ness, honesty, gentleness and teacha-
bleness was graphically and beautiful
-ly worded, DR.. Ross finding plenty Of
material for this in his own expert
ences with them. His delineation of
their faithfulness, devotion and other
virtues impressed his auditors with "a
genuine regret that these qualities had
not been recognized and made real as
sets in the growth of the frontier
which these Indians inhabited.

Business Men Do
Not Favor Plan
PIPESTONE BUSINESSMEN DIS
APPROVES JUDICIAL DIS
TRICT CHANGE.

The Pipestone Business Mems As
sociation at it's special meeting Fri
day evening, took a stand in opposi-
tion to the proposal now before the
state legislature, to separate Pipe
stone county from the 18th Judicial
district and attach it to the 9th ju-
dicial district, says the Pipestone Star.
The proposition was discussed at
considerable length by the local busi-
ness men, and it proved to be the
consensus of opinion that the disad-
vantages to Pipestone in the matter
of location as a part of the 9th dis
trict, are of such Importance as to
warrant the people of this community
in actively opposing this redistrlctlng
measure.
The removal of Pipestone county
from the 18th district to the 9th and
the appointment of a second judge IN
the 9th district, is proposed in bill
which has been introduced in the SEN
ate, being senate file No. 100. The OBJ
ject of the proposed change is to at
ford relief to Judge Olsen Of the 9th
district, who is said to be overworked.
The Business Mems Association
named a committee to communicate
with Representative w. c. Briggs and
Senator Floyd E. Lindsey and through
them make known to the legislature
the attitude of Pipestone business
men in opposition to senate file 100:
Other plans have been suggested for
the relief of the situation in the 9Th
district, and the opinion was expressed
by Pipestone business men, Friday ev-
ening, that some plan can be worked
out which will give the desired relief,
without resulting in the disadvan-
tage to Pipestone which they see in
the measure now before the legisla-
ure.-Slayton Herald.

Big Film to Help
European Fund
PROCEEDS OF SATURDAY MAT
INEE TO GO TO STARVING
CHILDREN.

The New Dream is doing it's bit
it's Big, rather-to assist in the gath
ering of funds to be used for the starv-
ing children of Europe who are being
fed under the direction of Herbert
Hoover. To raise funds the local pic
ture house is putting on a special mat
inee Saturday, showing Griffith's big
film The Girl Who Stayed at Home.
This is splendid picture in seven
reels and shown with it will be one
reel comedy Burglars. This makes
an entertaining and full program of
amusement for Saturday afternoon
and the pictures have been selected
with such care that they will be of
special interest and amusement to the
school children The show will start
at three o'clock.
The public is asked to remember
that all proceeds will be used for the
European fund, Mr.. Byram, the pro-
prietor of the Dream donating the
film and all other features of the
matinee. Admission fees of twenty
five cents will be asked from every
one and no war tax will be charged.
The fund can be increased just as
much as the people of the community
desire it shall be, and for this very
moderate sum everyone will get the
satisfaction Of helping in this very
worthy cause as well as spending a
most enjoyable afternoon. Let us
unite to make the crowd a bumper one I!
The same film, without the comedy
will be shown in the evening but this
will not be benefit showing. At the
Thursday evening showing at the New
Dream a special appeal will be made
for the European Fund this being the
date all the theaters in the state have
set aside for this special purpose.
The committee reports that the
fund for European Relief is gradually
growing although many persons have
not yet made any contributions. A
check for fifty dollars from C.. O. Gil
fillan was among the contributions
received during the past week. If
those desiring to make contribution
direct to the committee are asked to
make checks payable to Besse Gamer
on, secretary of the committee or to
w. G. Weldon, chairman. The need
is urgent and if it is possible for resi-
dents of the County to make contribu-
tions, they will be doing a splendid
service to humanity by making them at
once.

Good Play Coming.

The American Legion has selected
The Lion and The Mouse as the play
to be given at it's benefit performance
some time within the next few weeks,
the date to be announced later. This
is a play which ranks well with The
Third Degree which was given so Gre
ditably by the amateur actors of Red
wood Falls last year, and like this
play it's cast will consist entirely of
local people. Max R. H. Treu who
directed the Third Degree has been
secured by the Legion to coach the
coming play. This fact, coupled with
the names of the excellent cast which
Mr.. Treu has selected, guarantees the
success of the production. There are
eighteen persons in the cast.

Farm Bureau -,
BiIl Susl FED au11
HOUSE COMMITTEE VOTES 8 TO
/ FOR COMPULSORY FARM
BUREAU LEGISLATION.

The house committee on agriculture,
by vote of to /, sustained the rec
concentrations of the executive officers
Of the Minnesota Farm Bureau that
the county boards be compelled to ap-
propriate money for farm bureau
work.
According to the farm bureau laws
passed in 1919, it was optional with
the county commissioners to make
farm bureau appropriations. Repre-
sentative J. B. Hompe announced that
he is going to oppose the proposition
when it is brought up in the house.
F. E. Dolmer, field agent for the
farm bureau, explained the changes
proposed by the farm bureau The
new measures provide that the state
may apply $4,000 instead of $1,000 to
each county, but only $1,000 for each
county agent or home demonstration
agent. st. Louis county, under the pro-
posed law, may appropriate up to $685.
600 for farm bureau work and county
boards in all other counties shall ap-
propriaate from $1,000 to $4,000.
Eleven of the 13 committee MEM
bers present, including four or the five
who were against compulsory appro-
priation, are active members of the
farm bureau federation.
Members opposing compulsory coun-
ty appropriations were Anderson,
Gran, Hompe, Lagersen and C. j.
Swenson. Those favoring the mea-
sure were Grant, Carlson, j. B. GisG-
son, Hubert, Robinson, Sweitzer,
Thompson and Wright.

or. LIS Canvas
for Dairy Cows
ONE THOUSAND COWS NEEDED
FOR FARMERS CO-OPERA-
TIVE CREAMERY.

1t was decided at a meeting held
in Redwood Falls last week Tuesday,
to make a canvas of the territory con-
tingent to Redwood Falls to see how
many farmers would pledge cows to
support a cooperative creamery.
This meeting was attended by the rep
resentative farmers of the community,
bankers and other interested persons.
C. E. Goodyear of Paxton township
presided at the request of County
Agent Max Treu who had called the
meeting. Short talks on the sub
ject for which the meeting was called
were given by Mr.. Treu, Mr.. Kelliher
of the State Farm Bureau Federation
and several others present.
After some discussion of the subject
it was decided to organize the town.
ships of Homer, Paxton, Redwood
Falls and Delhi to determine how
many farmers would pledge dairy
cows to the support of cooperative
creamery. T. H. Inglis, j. F. Jones
and A. Searle will canvas Homer, G.
Whittet, Jr., G. Ilett and E. Bollum
will take charge of Delhi, w. Wheaton,
j. Kohler, H. Hillman and c. Cobleigh
will work in Redwood Falls and C. E.
Goodyear, D. Smith, J.. C. Brewer and
B. R. Whittet will take charge of Pax
ton. These committees met Saturday
afternoon and did some preliminary
work and it is expected that they will
be ready to make their final reports at
the end of this week.
Some canvasing was done on the
streets Saturday afternoon and the re-
suits are very promising, many farm,
ers taking up the project with great
enthusiasm. It is estimated that in
order to make the movement pay it
will be necessary to have at least
thousand cows pledged. The promo
tors of the plan feel that such a num-
Der of cows would insure constant
and year-round income for the farm
ers of the district and that cream can
be handled by the farmers themselves
with a greater percentage of profit
than if handled by independent deal
ers.
c. Jensen the owner of the local
creamery has been approached with
proposition to sell the creamery bus
mess here to a farmers corporation
and has made an offer which meets
the approval of those who are institut-
ing the new business. If the required
number of farmers become interested
it is probable that the business and
equipment already on the ground will
be utilized by the new concern.

Improve Not Condemn

Some of our good friends are
jumping into the Minnesota River
Flood Control project with both feet.
Brethren, you should not be SO hasty.
An effort is being made at this time
only to organize the watershed OF the
Minnesota River, having in view the
control of periodical disasterous floods
that cause millions of dollars dam
age, so that future investigation may
be made by the best engineers IN the
country, that further steps may be
taken.
Don't stand in the way of progress
and development. Read chapter thir-
teen, extra session of 1919, and you
will find that no work can be under
taken until a petition has been filed
with the court in the district where the
proposed development is to be made
and the same has been approved by
the Court. Thus far the principal ex
pense is the publication of notice of
hearing, about $1,340.00.
The organization of the district is
merely preliminary step. When this
is done, application may be made to
the State for aid in solving the prob
lem or to Congress for financial as

an order directing certain work to be
done after report of the engineers and
viewers and hearing in which all in
terested parties may be heard.
Hundreds of miles of the tile and
open bitches have been constructed to
relieve the high land, to the detriment
of the low land, it is claimed, and the
law in question provides that high
land so drained shall be assessed not
to exceed twenty-five cents per acre,
or $40 per quarter section. 1t this is
not just the Courts will not permit it
or the legislature may amend the
act, but it is not sound reason for op
posing the whole project.
It is seldom that new law is per-
feet and it is likely that this law can
be improved upon. Let's improve; not
destroy.
The owners Of low land are entitled
to relief, as well as those on the high
land and they should cooperate to help
one another.
The engineers report shows that
the project is practical and feasible
and will cost approximately $2,O0O,-
O0O.OO and that the benefits to low
lands alone, without taking into con-
sideration benefits to highways, cities
and villages, water powers or fisheries
will amount to more than $1,000, 10000
in excess of all costs and damages.

er study to improve.-From the Or
