LEGION AND BAND BOYS PLAN
BIG PATRIOTIC PROGRAM
FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Redwood Falls will celebrate In
dependence Day next Tuesday under
the direction of members Of the AM
erican Legion Post and the Scenic City
Band. The united efforts of these
two organizations promise day full
of enjoyable features and one in which
patriotic features will be specialized
on the days program.
The day opens with an industrial

gram. At the fair grounds the
champion baseball teams of Marshall
and Fairfax will cross bats in what
promises to be one of the best-match-
ed games played anywhere in, this
locality this season. Each team has
lost only one game this season and
considerable pep is added to the pro-
spects by the fact that each team is
absolutely confident Of winning.
Harold Peterson will be here with
his airplane and, assisted by speed"
Hennesy of Morton will do number
of hair-raising air stunts. The work
of these two young aviators is we'll

This bout is vouched for as being abb
solutely clean and on the square and
will prove Of interest to persons with
a fondness for this sport. There will
also be big dance, with music by
Pearson's Peerless Orchestra.
There will in all probability be sew
Leral additions to this program and pos
sibly some changes but the day pro-
misses to be good one, with such a
variety of entertainment that all
tastes will be suited. The Legion and
the Band most cordially invite large

from Springfield Advance

The stage is set for Springfield 5
first Legion Second District Conven-
tion and band tournament, which will
take place on Wednesday and Thurs
day of next week. The committees
have completed the program for the
entire celebration, and record at
tendance of Legionaires, bands, and
visitors is looked forward to by all of
Springfield. The members of the vari-
Gus committees in charge of arrange
ments have been tireless in their eff
forts to secure the greatest possible
number of attractions, in order that
every hour of our guests stay in the
city may be filled with profitable en-
tertainment and pleasure.
The Won1en's Auxiliary of the AM
erican Legion has taken over the re-
sponsibility of providing the Legion
banquet, which will be given in the
parlors of St. Raphael's church on
Wednesday evening, June 28th. Ar

as are also as many townspeople as
may wish to attend. Tickets will be

Auxiliary stand, the registration
booth, and at the door of ST. Raphaels
Church basement in the evening.
One of the attractive features of
the entertainment which has been pro-
vided by the committees are the free
acts by the Bell-Thazer Trio of ath-
letes and comedians. These sensa-
tional performers will appear on the
program several times each day, to do
hair-raising, death-defying, and laugh
provoking stunts. This trio of high

dred endorsements from fair secre
taries and theatre managers, and are
guaranteed to hold their audience.
Bands from Sleepy Eye, Lamberton

anhoe and Waseca will compete in the
classical band tournaments. This is
one of the big drawing cards of the
celebration, and all lovers of good

place. Following the tournament each

Mrs. Nancy King

Nancy j. Yesley King was born in
Iowa February ~, 1874, and died at
her home in Redwood Falls June %,
1922, aged 78 years, months and 25
days.
Burial service for Mrs. King was
held at the Church of Christ Sunday
afternoon with DR.. Ellsworth officiat-
ing. Interment was made in the Red
wood Falls cemetery.
On April 90, 1860 she was married
to Mr. T. III. King in 1861 her first
child, now Mrs. Geo. Whitttet, was
born. In 1862 the little family re-
moved to Minnesota.
In 1868 during the trying times of
the Civil War Mr.. King enlisted and
went to the front to serve his coun-
try and Mrs. King was left on the
farm with two little children to fight
the lonely battle that many soldiers
wife in those trying times was oblig-
ed to fight. Her faith in God never
wavered during these days, she taught
her children to pray for their fathers
return and did her duty.

Labor Board
Acts on WdIkOut
MOVE MADE TO FORESTALL R.
R. WALKOUT PLANNED FOR
JULY 1.

A move to forestalI the strike of
/ 100000 railroad employees threaten
Led for July |, was made by the Unit
ed States railroad labor board tonight.
The board handed down a decision
denouncing letting out various class
es of railroad work under contract, in
order to escape jurisdiction of the
board.
Following issuance of the order, it
was generally understood in railroad
labor circles here that railroads would
abide by the boards wishes and not
let out any further contract work, in
case the men do not strike.
Opposition to contract labor was
one of three points on which strike
has been voted by the union employee
eS.
The board decided seven cases
which had been brought before it by
unions, in which contracts had been
let for work, and the employers were
ordered to pay the scale of wages and
following working rules handed down
by the board
Il still believe that the carriers will
all get in line with the boards deci-
sion on this question and it is my
purpose to press the matter on their
attention. Ben Hooper, chairman of
the board said.
Hooper, in explaining the decision,
said.
'tThe decisions involve no difference
from those embraced in previous rul-
ings of the board. They do, however,
cover several classes of employees.
Some of the carriers have proceeded
upon the assumption that because
they contracted various kinds of labor
before the transportation act became
effective, this practise is still legal
NTo my mind that seems so unjust
and unfair to the employees and so
violative of the spirit Of the trans
portation act that public sentiment
cannot uphold it. Of course, the
board has not held that the carriers
may not contract their work, but
simply has held that such contracts
cannot have the effect of removing
the railroad employees from under
the affects of the transportation act. "

Stag Picnic Success

The Community Club of Window
staged its annual picnic tour Monday,
coming to Redwood Falls to spend the
day in Alexander Ramsey Park.
Members of the Lamberton Com
mercial Club came with them and the
members of the Redwood Falls Com
mercial Club joined them in the picnic
dinner which was served soon after
the guests arrived. The afternoon
was spent in game Of baseball in
which Redwood Falls failed to cover
herself with glory-in fact there is a
distinct aversion on the part of Red
wood Falls rooters to talk about
scores, home runs or over necessities
to winning. The majority of said
rooters are gracefully passing the
buck by saying Charlie Luscher's
team got licked" Since the affair
was kept strictly "stag" and no per-
sons of the feminine persuasion were
allowed within reporting distance, it
is impossible for The Gazette to give
very accurate report. However all
the men of the city speak most en-
phatically of the many pleasant fea ).
lures of the day and hope that Win
dom and Lamberton will spend. an
other day here in the near future.
II. Clark, secretary of the Window
Community Club, asked The Gazette
to express to the Redwood Falls Club
the appreciation of the guests for.
the courtesies extended Mr.. Clark
stated that the visitors found all pre-
parations complete upon their arrival
here and were most grateful for the
careful arrangements which had been
made as well as for the furnishing of
the cream, coffee, lemonade etc.

Miss Kennedy
a Vote Getter

Miss Fern Kennedy, county sup
erintendent of schools, is the cham
pion vote getter in Redwood County,
and last Monday she hung up a record
for primary majorities in Redwood
county that will be hard to duplicate.
She received about twice as many vot-
es as both Of her opponents combined
and her plurality is in the neighbor-
hood of 1000 votes. Hilberg Peter
son of Morgan got good vote in this
section where he is best known but
was unable to make much inroads on
Miss Kennedy's strength in other parts
of the county. He did nearly as well
however, as did E. v. Hemsworth of
near Sanborn, who has lived in the
county for many years, and in fact
taught school in the county for about
fifteen years. The results, even
though SO one-sded are no disparage-
ment to Miss Kennedy's opponents.
The vote in all parts of the county
plainly demonstrates that the voters
feel that Miss Kennedy is well qualifi-
ed, has given generally satisfactory
service and that q second term would
be only fair thing. It made no diff
ference who her opponents were, or
how we'll they may be qualified, it
was in the cards that she would get q
great endorsement, and that's all there
was to it. Although Mr.. Hemsworth
received more votes than Mr.. Peter
son we believe that the Morgan man
was the most fortunate Of the two in
the light of an analysis of the vote,
for Hemsworth will probably feel con-
strained to spend time and money on
the fall campaign Morgan Messeng-
er.

Many blocks contain no al leys at all, and if there were an alley through every block their total length would be approximately one half the total length of the streets.
 MT Lant did not compute the lineal measurements of the paved streets and highways in the city, but gave the following figures as to the area of hard-surfacing in the city: Concrete paving on streets, 49,436 square yards; concrete paving in al- leys, 1,286 square yards; asphaltic maeadam paving in streets, 16,828 square yards.

M'RAE IN SPEECH
 UPHOLDS PEOPLE
URGES RESPECT OF LAW
Be Temperate in Remarks, Governor Says to Farmers Union, Who
 Give Great Welcome

Stimulated undoubtedly by the
 great welcome accorded him by the Farmers Union of Faulkner county at the courthouse this morning, Gov ernor McRae spoke at length of farm and government problems, with ed ucation as the subject of his con- clusion. At all times, he reiterated the purpose of his administration to Carry out those policies in keeping with government by the people and to safeguard the rights and money derived from taxation. He also touched upon the problem of taxa tion with reference to the state tax commission, which was the subject of his address yesterday before the county judges of the state at Little Rock.
 Citizens seeking to assert and se- cure the rights of the people in gov ernment affairs should always be temperate in their actions and re- marks, Governor McRae told his au- ditors in an impressive moment, wherein he considered his words carefully. Be temperate in your expressions, the. chief executive said, "but see to it that justice is done the producer"
 Arkansas and the nation at large today faced an unprecedented condi- tion he said, in that the nations cribs and pasture are bursting with produce and livestock and still no market can be had "The United States holds the worlds reserve of gold and is the creditor nation of the globe" Governor McRae declared, "and still there is no market and business is stagnant Across the waters, people are naked and half starved Politicians, and I do not mean merely office holders, have played this game three years now to retain war conditions. I can't say how our problem can be solv. ed, but 1 do say the men in Congress must make some kind of a peace that will open the doors of trade and give citizens like you a market for their produce. No matter if it Is not the Wilson peace or the cov- enant of nations-this must be set tied and no question is ever settled until it is settled rightly"
 The governor paid high tribute to the farmers of the nation for their steadfastness in time of war. When more feedstuffs were needed, the farmers produced it and then came to the aid of the government by buy ing liberty bonds. Not the army, not commerce, is the foundation of our nation" he declared, "but agri- culture, and it behooves every one aid to aid in improving farm condi- tions.
 Turning then from farm condi- tions to affairs of his office, the
