REDWOOD MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY, NAY 3.
lecture Was
Well Attended
INTERESTING EVENTS OF SIXTY
YEARS AGO VIVIDLY RE-
CALLED BY SPEAKER.

The lecture by Mr.. A. T. Adams on
''The Sioux Uprising of 1862" start
ing in the Redwood Reservation, as
given at the Armory last Friday eve
ming, proved to be very interesting
and valuable account of that tragic
chapter of Minnesota history.
1t doubtless is the most comprehen-
sivel of any brief presentation of this
subject that has been prepared and
because of the care and accuracy with
which Mr.. Adams has gathered his
material it is evidently authentic.
He related conditions and circum-
stances which led to the conflict,
Characteristic episodes of the mas
sacre, the principal military events
and maneuvers under Little Grow and
General Sibley and other commanders,
and the valuable and daring assistance
to the whites of friendly Indians.
The lecture was accompanied by a
continuous succession of maps and
pictures illustrating the events as
they were described, which assisted in
holding the closest attention through
out.
The many who attended are great
ly indebted to Mr.. Adams and the CO.
operation of the public library board
for this contribution and revival of
interest in our own local history.

Health on Wheels;
Will Visit Around
PUBLIC HEALTH MADE INTER
EsTING THROUGH MOVIES AND
POPULAR DEMONSTRATIONS.

Moving pictures on health, brought
to remote rural communities, as well
as villages and towns, are made possi-
BILE by the manufacture of electricity
by special generator on the touring
car of the nurses who will go out und-
er the auspices Of the Minnesota Pu-
bile Health Association and the Coun-
ty Public Health Associations to
carry the message Of health to the far
corners of the State.
To teach the people in plain, simple,
and understandable terms, the Mime
sofa Public Health Association has
equipped two nurses with outfits and
is sending them into the state to de-
monstrate the advantages of taking
disease in hand in its early stages.
The people should know that in Min
nesota "a per cent of the cases OF tub
erculosis which have been given san
atorium care in the early stage of the
disease, have been arrested.
A life. size washable doll, baby's
bath tub, milk bottles, pots, kettles,
pans, an assortment of clothing,
scales for weighing, portable stove
for preparing food and sterilizing
utensils will comprise part of the
equipment for demonstrating cheap
ly and easily improvised outfit for the
proper care of the baby.
Wherever possible, the nurses will
begin nutritional classes to be taken
up and continued by Woman's Clubs,
or Parents and Teachers Associa-
tions.
Pamphlets on subjects such as Tu-
berculosis, Cancer, Care of the Eye,
Teeth, and so forth will be distributed
to Woman's Clubs, Commercial Clubs,
Parents and Teachers Associations,
and other organizations that health
studies may be made a regular feature
of their monthly meeting.
The entire Unconstitutional activity,
as all activities conducted by the
County or State Public Health As
sociations, is supported entirely
through the sale of Christmas Seals.

China Adopts
u. S. Methods
FILMS, AUTOS AND WHITE
LIGHTS APPEAL TO ANCIENT
NATION.

Electric lights, motor cars and mo-
tion pictures are striking signs Of the
progress of the Americanization of
China, according to Lynn W. Meekins,
trade commissioner of the Department
of Commerce, who has recently return
ed from Shanghai.
The Chinese are just as fond OF
white lights as the most exuberant
Broadway crowd, Mr.. Meekins says,
and scores of cities and towns have
lighting systems. Shanghai has a
large municipal electricity plant
which furnishes power at low rates
for the many industries which are
springing up. ...... -. .... ......=
The "joy ride" too, made an imne-
diate hit in China, and motor cars are
being multiplied. A not infrequent
sight in Peking is high powered car,
it's highly polished enamel glistening
in the North China sun, its windows
partly covered by purple silken cur
tains, it's headlights dazzling in their
brilliance, rushing down Legation
street at midday, occupied by wealthy
Chinese officials and their families.
In the motor car we find further
parallel to conditions in the United
States, in that its Introduction has
resulted in giving impetus to the good
roads movement.
The American who visits Shanghai
this year will be surprised to find the
latest American films being exhibited
in that city. One of the producers
who has two-page advertisements ap-
pearing in leading weekly magazines
in this country has made arrange
ment to exhibit films in China within
a few weeks after they are first re-
leased in the United States. The
Chinese are so enthusiastic over mo-
ton pictures that they have begun
producing films themselves. Last
year the first Chinese dramatic film
was shown in Shanghai. This was
acted, filmed and exhibited
by Chinese, and the results were sur
prisingly good

A Serious Fire Hazard

Careless smokers, foresters point
out, are responsible for one of the
most serious fire hazards in the cOur1
try, because they fail to take proper
precautions with burning tobacco and
matches. The preventable fire waste
of all kinds from these causes aver
ages more than $18,O00,00O a year, ac-
cording to figures published by the
National Board of Fire Underwriters.
The "tailor-made cigarette is the
principal offender in the woods where
a glowing "snipe" thoughtlessly
thrown down on the forest floor may
cost the public, thousands of dollars
for fire fighting, to say nothing OF
the vaule of timber destroyed, the
desolation of scenic beauty spots, and
the harm done to waterfiow and wild
life.
Disastrous results from smoking in
the woods are most to be feared when
the infammable material that is near
ly everywhere present becomes very
dry. In the west this condition is
generally chronic throughout the sum-
mer. The increasing popularity of
the National Forests, which were Wis
tied last year be more than 100000
make the prevention and control of
smokers fires more and more difficult.

Auto Tax Dodgers
Must Settle Now
BABCOCK PREVAILED UPON TO
PERSONALLY DIRECT ENFORCE
MENT OF REGISTRATION LAW.

Court fines and costs plus regular
taxes, penalties and arrears will be
exacted during the next ten days from
Minnesota owners of motor vehicles
with old licenses or none at all.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, this week yielded to
solicitations from state officials to end
the game of passing the buck" on
automobile tax law enforcement. He
said that the slackers will be rounded
up in every part of the state, if only
Sin fairness to more than 100000 car
and trunk owners who have complied
with the law"
The campaign will follow hundreds
of complaints of auto tax law evasion,
many of which were boasted. At
torney General Clifford L. Hilton
pledged the support of the state legal
department. Special inspectors will
be sent out over the state with rigid
instructions to hail into court all vio-
lators, and demand that fines be i'm
posed follow up with second prosecu-
tions if necessary.
"Non-enforcement of the motor
vehicle tax law is becoming notori-
ous," said Commissioner Babcock.
Every owner has had ample time to
register and nine out of ten have done
so-but there are thousands of
"slackers." While it is not primarily
the duty of the highway department
to force tax payments, the attorney
general advises that it's organization
and equipment may we'll be used for
that purpose and good citizens will
agree that summary action is needed.
A force of inspectors will be sent out
at once for quick cleanup and the
car owner who is fined will have only
himself to blame"
The auto tax drive is to be carried
to every part of the state.

Richard Croker
Passes Away
PICTURESQUE POLITICAL POT
ENTATE ONCE RULED NEW
YORK'S FAMOUS TAMMANY
HALL.

Dublin, April 29.-Richard Croker,
formerly leader of Tammany Hail.
New York, died at $3.50 P. M. today
at Glencairn Castle, Sandyford, a few
miles from Dublin. His wife was
at the bedside.
The former polictical leader spent
the greater part Of the past ten or
twelve years in Ireland, where he
owned extensive, estates, making oc-
casional visits to the United States.
Croker took a keen interest in the
negotiations between Ireland and
England looking to a settlement OF
the age-long controversy over free
dom for Ireland. When the treaty
providing for the Free State was
signed he. gave it as his opinion that
by the pact Ireland gained virtually
everything fought for in the past 700
years.
Built Tammany Machine.
Under the leadership of Richard
Welstead Croker, Tammany Hall be-
came one of the most efficient and
successful political machines that
ever existed in the United States. It
was under his leadership also that
public condemnation was visited on
the organization in unstinted meas
ure for the alleged unscrupulous
For nine years Croker's mastery
hand absolutely dominated New York
City's Democratic organization and
during that time Tammany was in
variably victorious at the polls.
From a poor Irish immigrant boy,
none too we'll educated, he forced
himself by courage and self-aggres-
sion by political tactics that subject
ed him to extreme public criticism
into the leadership first of one of
New York city's gangs, then into
numerous city offices and eventually
into the leadership of Tammany Hall
where he came in contact and deal
ings with many of the leading fnan-
ciers and business men of the city.
He was rewarded by the accumula
tion of great wealth the source OF
which was never exactly known by
the public. "Where did he get it 2"
was once the question of the hour in
New York; but Croker never answer
ed it.
Spent Wealth Lavishly.
He spent his wealth lavishly in
maintaining a magnifcently furnish
ed home in New York, a stock farm
in New York state, and in purchasing
a half interest in the famous Belle
Mead stock farm near Nashville,
Tenn. He invested hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in race horses and in
maintaining a racing stable in Eng
land. While seeking and winning
honors on the British turf he first oc-
cupied a fine home at Vantage, Eng
land, and afterward purchased the
home at Glencairn, near Dublin, Ire
land. He also maintained an estab-
lishment at Palm Beach, Fla.
Croker was born at Black Rock,
near Cork, Ireland, November "a, 1841.
His father came to America when
Richard was child. For few years
the family lived in Cincinnati but
soon returned to New York.

Highway Building
Season Opens Big
JOBS FOR $4,000 MEN ON STATE
AND LOCAL ROAD PROJECTS
THIS YEAR.

Around Redwood Falls and in all
other sections Of Minnesota, highway
improvements are being started under
the second year program Of the Bab-
cock plan on trunk routes and by
county and town officials on the So
called local roads.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, has placed under con-
tract for contraction this season 626
miles of gravel-surfacing, 123 miles
of paving and 336 miles of permanent
grading on the trunk system, includ-
ing county reimbursement projects
carrying state department approval,
also many new bridges, miles of
guard-rails, tiling and minor improve
ments. This work, engineers estin-
ate, will employ about 5000 men
through the construction season.
Local highway authorities over the
state, having available double the am
cunt of money that is provided for
state operations, will carry on work
taking approximately 10000 addition
al men, it is estimated. So that ap-
proximately $4,000 men, hundreds of
teams, scores Of construction outfits
made up of big steam shovels and
other machinery, will be engaged this
year in the big undertaking to pull
Minnesota out of the mud.
The first week in May has been
looked forward to by road contractors
in which to start construction opera
tions, following weeks of preparation
made possible by early lettings of con-
tracts. Many building outfits
are on the move and payrolls are
longer. Forced by sharp competition
to bid low for work, the contractors
are planning to push work to early
completion to avoid possible losses,
to reports to the highway
Patrolmen and other maintenance
forces have been out on the trunk
routes since April l in many instances
to speed the draining and drying of
the roads and drag them smooth after
the spring thaws. The regular am
cunt is set aside for maintenance work
this year, although trunk highway re-
venues are less than expected and
highway officials give assurance that
results in this department will be
fully up to those of the first year.

New Rest Room
Now Established

The new rest room which the city
council recently authorized to the
lowest bidder is now open to the gen.
eral public. It is in the extreme west
end of the Stensvad garage, just one
door east of the community house
wherein it was formerly located, and
is easily accessible to the general
public. It will be open from seven in
the morning and until 10 p. m. in the
evening. According to the Minnesota
State Law every city is required to
have a rest room with all the modern
facilities for the travelling public.
The present rest room meets every
requirement of this law.

Wartime Living
Prices Decline
FORTY-TWO PER CENT DROP
SHOWN BY U. S. BUREAU
SURVEY.

War prices are no more in Mime
apolis and the dollar is more than
half way along the road to recovery.
Living costs in the United States
have dropped AZ per cent from the
war peak, using 1913 figures as a
comparison. A general decline OF
more than 16 per cent between Janu-
ary, 1921, and January, 1922, was re-
corded in whole sale prices.
An estimate by the federal bureau
by dealers, received in Minneapolis,
showed that General H. C. L. was
fighting losing fight, quoting these
figures to prove it:
Sirloin steak is about 5 cents
pound cheaper than in 1912, but
cents above 1918.
Fresh milk is cents below the
1921 mark, but 2k cents above
1918.
= Butter is back to normal, nearly
20 cents below the 1921 mark.
Bread is 2 cents below 1921, but
21a cents above 1913.
Hard coal is SO cents a ton
cheaper than in 1921, but nearly
twice as expensive as in 1913.
Soft coal is about So ton
cheaper than in 1921, but twice as
costly as in 1913.
In January, 1922, the report show
ed that prices decreased all along the
line, except in farm products, where
gain of 2A per cent was attributed
to advances in wheat, barley, corn,
oats, hogs, sheep, lambs and poultry.
Decreases ranging from one-half of l
per cent for building material to 31a
per cent for food were registered in
January, as compared with December,
1921 ...
Minneapolis compares favorably
with other cities of the United States,
dealers here reporting an average de-
crease of 10 per cent in January, 1922,
compared with January, 1921, which
left prices an average of SO per cent
above the 1918 level.
Price quotations from foreign coun-
tries show that the United States has
made faster progress on it's return to
normal than any other nation. Can
ada and Australia are close seconds in
the race.

County Jail Empty

At the present time the Redwood
County Jail is absolutely empty, some
thing that has not occurred in nearly
two years. Two moonshiners were
recently sentenced to thirty days each,
but the judge deferred the date of
serving time until they had completed
their crop planting. Redwood County
is now ranking just 100 per cent as
law-abiding community. Even the
moonshiners are being watched so
closely by Sheriff Kise that they have
almost quit their unlawful operations.
