Now Is The Time.

A forward-looking citizen of Red
wood Falls has suggested to The Ga
zette editor that the present is very
good time to put into effect all the
promises made last summer concern
ing the graveling Of the Lake Red
wood bathing pool. This pool, it wa5
discovered during the bathing season
last summer, sadly lacks gravel and
this must be put on when the surface
of the lake is frozen in order to BE-
most effectively placed. The gentle
man suggesting that this be done, also
suggests that now, when there are
many unemployed men and teams to
be had, is the psychological moment
for doing this work. Might it not also
be practical, at this time, to provide an
adequate and sanitary bath house in
stead OF waiting for the annual pro
testing wall against the present build
ing? Each year as the bathing sea-
son opens, groups of citizens agree
that bathing facilities are anything
but consistent with the city's ideal of
sanitation and safety-and yet each
year little is done to permanently cor
rect the trouble. With the bathing
season just around the corner, it might
be well to think on these things.

Phinney-A Angel.

Miss Blanche Phinney of Redwood
Falls and Andrew Angel were mar
ried Tuesday, January 3 at the home
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wm Phinney. Rev. Phil Ellsworth of
the Church of Christ read the service.
The bride wore gown of blue silk
with bead trimming and carried red
roses. Following the service dinner
was served to the wedding party and
Mr.. and Mrs. Angel then left for Min
neapolis for a few days stay before
returning to Redwood Falls. Mrs
Angel has been for the past several
years a successful teacher in the
schools Of Redwood County, and since
Mr.. Angel came to Redwood Falls
about year ago, he has been employ
ed as a baker at one of the local
restaurants. Both have many friends
in this vicinity who extend best wishes.
Those from out Of town who attend
ed the wedding included Clarence Phin-
ney and his family of Wood Lake and
Miss Delsie Phinney, also of Wood
Lake.

Dates for 6. O.P.
Meets Are Fixed
CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION
TO BE HELD IN MARCH
AT SAINT PAUL.

St. Paul, January Another term
Frank e. Kellogg was talked of this
morning at the Republican state cen
trail committee meeting. Plans were
laid for county, district and state
meetings of the party to be held in
O. P. B. Jacobson of the state rail-
way and warehouse commission and
Justice Oscar Hallam of the state
supreme court, were talked Of in
some quarters as candidates for gov
ernor and United States senator re-
spectively. They appear to be the
only opponents Of Preus and Kel-
logg. A meeting will soon be held
in the Ryan Hotel which will be styl-
ed "Hallam To the United States
Senate" meeting. The jacobson fore
es did not seem to be well organized.
Predicted Harmonious Gathering.
Factions that broke up the party
previously were missing today and
Charles R. Adams, chairman of the
state central committee predicted a
harmonious gathering.
County conventions have been set
for March IS; district conventions,
March 25; and the state convention,
March 81. g.aH -
The state convention will adopt
the first legal state platform and en-
dorse it's candidates according to
this. The last legislature held that
it was legal to proceed along those
lines. In the past the endorsement
and platforms were unofficial.
Two committees were to be ap-
pointed, after the opening of the
meeting. One for the call of the con-
ventions and the other for the franz
ing of resolutions necessary.
Women Delegates Attend.
Sixty members of the committee and
sixty three proxy holders attended the
session, which adjourned after COM
pleting it's business in about two
hours. It was declared the most har-
in many campaigns.
One-third of the delegates present
were women, indicating that large
proportion of the delegates to the con-
ventions to be held before the
state primary election will be of the
fair sex also, in the opinion of male
members of the committee. Location
of the district conventions outside the
twin cities with the number of dele
gates allotted, follows:
First congressional district, Owa-
tonna court house, 120 delegates; sec
ond, Mankato, city hall, III delegates;
sixth, ST. Cloud, commercial club,
third, Faribault, court house, 90;
101; seventh, Willmar, court house,
80; eighth, Duluth, commercial club,
"a; ninth, Morrhead, court house, 80;
and tenth, Minneapolis, West hotel,

Ditch Hearing
Adjourned.

Both the opponents and proponents
of County Ditch No. 81 met at the
courthouse Tuesday morning at ten
o'clock with their respective attorneys
and after some little discussion of the
matter the hearing was adjourned un-
til ten o'clock the morning of June 26.
AT the time the viewers completed
work on this proposed ditch its bene-
fits were estimated at nearly two mil
ion of dollars and it's cost at seventeen
hundred thousand. This is the large
ditch running through the southwest
part of Redwood County and empty
ing into Sleepy Eye Greek. Consider
able opposition has arisen from those
assessed and it is probable that the
project will be abandoned for the pre-
sent at least. Similar action was
taken last week upon the large ditch
proposed for the Gilfillan section of
the County.

Prompt Work
Saves Residence
HI. M. HITCHCOCK HOME SAVED
FROM FLAMES LAST WE'D
NESDAY AFTERNOON.

Prompt action on the part of the
Redwood Falls Fire Department,
coupled with the fact that the depart
ment had excellent equipment with
which to work, saved the H. NJ Hitch
cock home from destruction by fire
last Wednesday afternoon. The fire
caught from the chimney, starting in
the atticewhere it had made consider
able headway when discovered by
boys passing the house. Mrs. Hitch
cock, at work in the kitchen, had
smelled no smoke and was not convinc-
ed that the boys were correct in their
statement that the house was afire
until she opened the door to the attic
and was nearly smothered by smoke.
In slightly less than seven minutes
after Mrs. Hitchcock put in the call,
Chief Corbett and his co-Workers were
on the spot with their fire-fghting ap-
paratus in readiness. Because OF care
ful-and sensible-direction given by
Mr.. Corbett, the damage done to furni-
ture, walls, etc. by the use Of water
was practically nil,s the flames being
fought entirely with chemicals which
Mr.. Corbett personally handled to a
large extent. The members Of the
Hitchcock family are unanimous in
their praise and appreciation of the
clean, effective work done by the de-
partment and of the lack of un-
directed work which, in the case Of
fires, does usually more damage than
it prevents. Citizens who inspected
the burned section of the house also
marvel at the cleanliness and the pro-
perty-saving element of the firemen's
work.
Aside from a badly damaged Sec
tion of roof and some damage to in
terror walls, plaster and floors in two
rooms, the house escaped injury. The
building was protected by insurance.

REDWOOD FALLS MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY.
Mr.. Cook Takes
Issue With Ford
RESENTS STATEMENT BY AUTO
MANUFACTURES CONCERNING
PRICE OF FINE SHOES.

Syracuse, N. Y, Dec. 81, 1921.
Mr.. Henry Ford,
Detroit, Mich.
My dear SIR
If you are correctly quoted in the
morning, December 17th, know you
will be glad to have a statement of
few easily understood facts with
reference to fine shoes, as it is very
evident that you know nothing of the
fine shoe business. If everyone
wanted to pay the Ford price for an
automobile, there would be no mar
ket for Packards; if everyone wanted
to pay seven dollars for shoes, there
would be no market for Nettleton
Shoes.
Fine shoes are not made to sell at a
price,-on the contrary they are made
with a determination to produce the
very best product possible, then sold
at price that will return fair and
reasonable profit to both manufacturer
and retailer.
Our business, and we make nothing
but the finest shoes it is possible to
make, is more than one hundred per
cent in pairs-the unit of production
ahead of one year ago. Men are
buying Nettleton and other fine shoes
as result Of actual experience. They
find them to be the best investment in
footwear they can possibly make.
/ understand that you use a Packard
Car in preference to your own make.
If this is because you are man of
taste and appreciate and enjoy the fine
things in motor cars and possibly
wearing apparel, you would enjoy Net
tleton Shoes and find that you could
afford to pay the price charged for
them.
May I venture to hope that some
day you may have that pleasure?
Yours very truly,
H. W. COOK.

Big Rate Cut
Means More Roads
COMMISSIONER ORDERS LOWER
RATES ON ROAD MATERIALS
ON BABCOCK'S PETITION.

Minnesota will have about $250,000
less freight to pay on sand and gravel
and other materials for its 1922 work
on trunk highway improvements under
a freight rate reduction order made
this week by the state railroad and
warehouse commission. The big saw
ing will be used to extend needed
highway betterments.
The rate reduction order made pub
lie by Commissioner Ivan Bowen of
the railroad body, Charles M. Babcock,
state highway commissioner, estimated
the freight saving and declared the
figure conservative. Furthermore, he
added, highway department. contracts
are so worded that every dollar saved
will revert to the state-not the con-
tractors.
"The lower freight rates will mean
that Minnesota will have an addition
al quarter million dollars for use this
year to spread and speed benefits from
Good Roads Amendment No. THAT
sum will go into public roads and not
to the railroads as would have been
the case otherwise" said the highway
executive.
Commissioner Babcock several
weeks ago demanded lower rail rates
on road building materials. A few
railroad officials offered to make cuts
on individual projects but the commits
sioner insisted upon general, flat de-
crease. He carried the matter before
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion with the favorable result.

Banks Hold
Annual Meetings
NO CHANGES MADE IN OFFICERS
OR BOARDS OF LOCAL
INSTITUTIONS.

The State Bank of Redwood Falls
and the Farmers State Bank each held
their annual stockholders meetings
with election of officers, at their re-
spective banking houses, last week.
The First National Bank Of Redwood
Falls held similar meeting Tuesday
afternoon, January 10, completing it's
fftieth year of business in Redwood
Falls. No changes were made in
Boards 5f Directors or officers in any
of the three institutions, and all were
found in satisfactory condition by the
stockholders.
In this issue of the Gazette are
published statments of several of the
banks of the County, including the
three banks mentioned above and the
Southern Minnesota Joint Stock Land
Bank. Thee statements all show
that whsse the volume of business is
not so large as in former years, it is
sufficiently good to warrant the ut
most of confidence, in the banks of
Redwood County. It is no slight
thing, in these somewhat stressful
days, to have banks as we'll managed
and in such satisfactory condition as
are the banks whose called reports of
December 81 have been published thus
far. The majority of them also show
larger reserves and better conditions
throughout than were found when the
reports were called for in September.
1t is noticeable also that the same con-
dition is found in the published state
ments of the large Twin City banks.
Financiers look upon this as hope
,ful sign of the loosening of present
tight money conditions.

Dry Laws Not
Failure Says Chief
CHICAGO MAYOR STATES 1000
ENFORCEMENT is VERY
UNLIKELY.

The prohibition law is not failure
and while enforcement of it probably
never will reach the 100 per cent point
of efficiency, it rapidly is approaching
the highest possible point, Major R.
A. Haynes of Chicago National Prohi-
bition director said Saturday in an
address before the Law Enforcement
League of Chicago.
No law can be enforced 100 per cent.
Mr.. Haynes said, declaring that the
chief present obstacles in enforcement
of the Volstead act were apatletic
citizens and lethargic public officials.
These types, he said, in opposing the
law were striking unintentionally at
their own interests and at the founda-
ton of their country and might be
threatening it with the downfall which
he says had come to every republic in
history which had failed to enforce
the laws it's citizens made for them
selves
He continued, "The best antidote for
the wet propaganda is facts and here
are few:
"The propagandists put in capital
letters the liquor improved into this
country. The facts show that the total
importations during the past fiscal
year were one half of one per cent
of the total consumption of liquor in
the United States the year before pro-
hibition.
Facts show that liquor withdraw
ais from warehouses in this country
during the past October were only so
per cent of the Withdrawals in the
previous October"
Haynes said reports from his dis
trict directors showed that federal,
state and city officials were co-opera-
ting almost everywhere and that great
headway was being made against
those opposing enforcement of the law.

Parties Hold
Convention Soon
1922 BRINGS REVIVAL OF INTER-
EST IN POLTTICS-COMMIT-
TEES MAKE ARRANGEMENTS.

Republican and democratic state
conventions will be called in the next
few days under the new election law,
party leaders say. With the opening
of the new year interest in politics
has revived and candidates for state
office and for congress are likely to
be announced this month. Under
the law the state conventions take
place the last week in March.
The republican state committee has
already met in the Saint Paul hotel
to arrange for the republican conven-
tion. The democratic committee will
be called together in few days.
There had been some talk that the
democrats would not have conven-
tion 81 think there will be one,"
Chairman Everett says. "That is my
personal opinion. / don't see how we
can do otherwise under the new law" :"
Conventions are to indorse candi-
dates for state office, select party COM
mittees and adopt platforms. No can
didates for party nominations may file
until after the conventions. Then
anyone can file, but the candidate in
dorsed by his party convention will
have the right to place after his name
on the ballot endorsed by ---
party convention"
The chief contest threatened for the
republican convention is over United
States senator Senator Frank B.
Kellogg may be opposed by Justice
Oscar Hallam of the state supreme
court, who has been lining up support
but has made no open announcement
as yet. Senator Kellogg announced
his candidacy for reelection some
time ago.
The state committees not only will
fix the date for state conventions, but
also for county conventions, and will
apportion the delegates by counties.
The law says that each county shall
have three delegates at large and that
others shall be allotted according to
the vote for governor. On the basis of
l delegate for each 500 votes or major
fraction, the republican convention
will have 1888 delegates. Murray
county will have delegates.
