New Garage
Is Completed
HERMANN BROS. NOW IN POSI-
TION TO BETTER SERVE
THEIR PATRONS.

Hermann Brothers this week moved
their equipment and tools into their
recently completed garage on Wash
ington Street between the Farmers
State Bank and the Telephone Ex-
change. This partnership, composed
of John and, Ed. Hermann, was for
merly located in the Wilcox Building
adjoining the Lamberton Garage
Located in this more commodious
building, they expect to render to
their patrons that efficient service
which they have in the past desired,
but which they have been unable to
give as fully as they have wished on
account of lack of room. Their new
quarters constitute a well appearing
addition to the business section of
the town. It's construction is of tile
with brick veneer. The front is fac
ed with dark red, wire-cut brick. The
size of the building is fifty feet by
one hundred and nineteen feet. The
dimensions Of the shop are thirty by
fifty feet, leaving a side storage capa-
city for twenty-five cars. The gem
eral contractor for the erection Of this
garage was John. Schilt. The con-
crete work was done by r. Byram.
The wiring is. being installed by Ed.
Duncan.

Hermann

Mr.. John X. Lamberton and Miss
Martha Herman sprung a real sur
prise on their friends a week ago last
Friday. They left here by car osten-
-sibly to spend several days at the
Baldwin amberton lake cottage near
Walker, MINI. with Mr.. and Mrs.
Stenborg. They went to Walker al
right according to their stated plans,
but tarried there long enough to
search out minister to tie the we'd
ding knot before proceeding to the
lake. Friends did not definitely learn
of the event until the middle of last
week, altho rumors were floating
around to that effect day or two be-
fore.
Both parties are well and favorably
known in this community. Miss Her
man was teacher in the grades Of
the local school year before last.
During the past year she taught at
Luverne, and it was understood in
tended to teach there the coming year.
Mr.. Lamberton, the eldest son of
Mrs. Lillian Lamberton Of this city,
is the efficient manager of the Lam
berton Bus Line and the agent for
Dodge cars. He has as business
man won the favor and good will of
the entire community. Hearty good
wishes are extended by the numerous
friends Of Mr.. and Mrs. Lamberton
for a married life filled with success
and happiness.

Annual School
Meet July 18th
BETTER ATTENDANCE OF TAX
PAYERS is NO MORE THAN
CIVIC DUTY.

The annual meeting of the school
district will be held at the Grade
School Building Saturday evening,
July 18th. instead of on July Dist,
as reported by mistake in last weeks
issue. The purpose of the meeting is
to elect two directors to the Board Of
Education and to transact such other
business as may come before the
school patrons Of the district. Last
year there were only thirty-three
voters present out of approximately
one thousand who should have attend
ed. Voters are certainly derehct in
the exercise of privilege as well as
in the performance Ct duty when
they fail to attend the annual school
meeting. When we stop to consider
that the greater part of our taxes go
tor ard education, everyone ought to
make it point to be present at such
an important event in the schools
yearly history. During each of the
past two years about $45,000 has been
raised by this district for school pur-
poses. When such sum of money is
being spent every year, part OF which
comes from your own pocket, do you
not feel it incumbent upon you to at
least attend the annual meeting to
find out what has been done during
the past year and what is contemplate
ed for the coming year?

Road Signs Here
For Posting
WILL DIRECT TOURISTS WITHIN
RADIUS OF SEVENTY-FIVE
MILES TO PARK.

Two hundred attractive signs read
ing Ramsey State Park-Free Camu
Ground Redwood Falls" have been
received by the business men of Red
wood Falls to be posted in radius of
from fifty to seventy-five miles on all
incoming roads.
The signs are conspicuous, yet
neat and attractive. On an aluminium
gray background are stencilled three
lines. The upper in black is Ramsey
State Park; the second line, printed
on red arrow indicating direction
is Free Camp Ground; the third line
which is of the same size as the ton
line, is Redwood Falls.
Those in charge of posting these
guides are, M. A. Ebright who will
erect them on Highway 4 from here
to the Iowa line; O. HI. Johnson, on
Highway IA from here to Winthrop;
L. R. Hammer, on Highway A to Will
mar; and j. F. O'Meara, on other
main travelled roads leading to Red
wood. 1t is planned to attach con-
siderable number of the signs to
white posts tipped with red and to red
posts tipped with white. These posts
will then be placed at points of par
ticular advantage to the tourist. We
understand that thus far the roads
have been marked as far as iSanborn,
also in the direction of Sleepy Eye
and Springfield.
In addition to the signs already
mentioned, still others have been ord
cred, which we understand have also
been shipped. These will be erected
within Ramsey Park itself, indicating
clearly the road to the Camp Grounds.
The erection of these is in charge of
Attorney Dolliff and Judge Laudon
who state that the guides will be
promptly posted in conspicuous places
upon their arrival.

Board Holds Long
Ditch Hearing
FINAL HEARING ON SLEEPY EYE
CREEK DITCH MATTER WILL
BE HELD OCTOBER 4th.

From Monday until Friday night OF
last week the Board of County Com
missioners conducted hearings on the
proposed Sleepy Eye Greek ditch
which, according to the plans, is to
start in the vicinity of Milroy and
follow the Sleepy Eye Creek to near
north of Wanda. An idea of the size
of the contemplated venture may be
gained from the fact that seven town.
ships are concerned with it. They
are Westline, Gales, Granite Rock,
Johnsonville, Vail, Waterbury and
Willow Lake. About $4,000 acres are
within the watershed of the proposed
venture. Without Branch A and
Main B, which have been stricken
from the plans, the estimated cost of
construction is $882,000. This to-
gether with perhaps another 500, 900,
which would be paid out for damages
to land and for the construction of
bridges, would make the cost of the
ditch somewhere in the neighborhbod
of $1,000,000.
On last Monday an attempt was
made to bring the petitioners for and
directors to the ditch together with a
view 10 I1dklilS SOiflc diIdLSS iiiSHt Iot
the payment of the expenses already
incurred in the matter, and then drop
ping plans of construction for the
present. This plan, however, met
with no success. Accordingly, there
was nothing else for the County Board
to do but to conduct hearings on the
proposition. During the fore part of
the week, the Board busted itself
mainly with giving audience to in
dividual proponents and opponents.
Later on they met with the Boards
of Supervisors Of the various town
ships affected.
On Monday around the Court House
Square the cars, which had brot thos .
interested in the ditch, numbered
close to one hundred. There was
considerable strong feeling on both
sides regarding the ditch. Altho the
opponents apparently greatly out
numbered those in favor of construct
ing the ditch at present, yet there are
large number of opponents who
state that they favor the ditch in
principle, but are very much opposed
to it right now on account of the fact
that it is almost impossible for the
farmer at present to meet obligations
already incurred without adding to
the load by assuming new ones.
On Friday afternoon on the sug-
gestion of the DIRECTORS attorney, the
hearing was adjourned until October
4th. at P. M.

Telephone Workers
Hold Conference
PURPOSE WAS TO AID ONE AN
OTHER IN GIVING BETTER
SERVICE TO PUBLIC.

On June 9th. conference for tele-
phone managers and operators in this
district was held at the Com
mercial Club Rooms of this city, Mr..
Bert Kleaver of the Rural Telephone
Company presiding. More than sixty
operators and managers were in at
tendance at this convention.
The meeting was arranged tor by
j. c. Crowley, Secretary of the Min
nesota Telephone Association. Eight
other similar meetings will be held in
various cities of Southern Minnesota
The purpose of this meeting was to
exchange ideas and establish such
personal contacts and acquaintance

and managers as will be Of great value
in conducting their business with 9TH
.er exchanges.

sion from the floor. It is reported
that everyone received much of value
from these Round Table discussions
as from the regular program. Mr.
Howatt of the Railroad and Ware
house Commission spoke on Public
Relationships, emphasizing the need
of courtesy between telephone opera
tors and employees and the general
public. From the attitude taken by
the conference toward this subject, it
was evident that they were anxious
to be of real service to their patrons.
Secretary Crowley of the Minnesota
Telephone Association, spoke on Traf-
fc Problems. Other speakers were
Miss Barnes, Chief Operator in Des
Moines and Miss POUCH, Chief Opera
tor in st. Paul From sentiments ex
pressed by those in attendance, it was
gathered that regular conferences OF
a similar nature will in all probability
be held in the future.
The entire number of those attend
ing were entertained as dinner guests
at Hotel Ramsey by Mr.. Hotaling OF
the Northwestern Electric Equipment
Co. and w. c. Caldwell of the Strom-
berry, Carlson Telephone Mfg. Co.
At the close of the program all of
those present at the convention were
taken as guests on a scenic tour thru
Ramsey Park in cars furnished by
the Commercial Club.

foundation by heating each petal
slightly and pressing onto the disc in

A Lattice Pendant.
An odd but attractive idea is car

pendant. The cardboard foundation
is about an inch and a half square,
and square holes are cut out to FORM
the lattice. This is then covered
with black wax on both sides. Sprays
of pink roses, blue, violet and yellow
flowers and green leaves complete
the decoration. The effect will be
much better if the spray of flowers
is repeated on the reverse side. The
finished pendant is hung on fancy
woven black ribbon.
