Redwood Wins
from Franklin
SATURDAYS GAME ENDS IN VIC.
TORY OF % TO 2 FOR
LOCALS.

Smarting after their humiliating
defeat at Walnut Grove a week ago
the local High School nine staged a
game at the fair grounds Saturday
and brought in % runs while the op-
ponents from Franklin accounted for
two. The Franklin combination used
FIVE different pitchers in the course
of the game, and all of them were
hit hard. Schraeder, pitching, for
Redwood, held his own easily, with
nearly perfect support. Only two err
rors were made by the locals in the
course of the game.
Franklin started the ciouting part
of the game with a grounder to Capt.
cub who fielded the ball perfect and
caught the man at first. The next
two men were famed after striking
hopelessly at balls they couldn't see.
In Redwoods turn at the plate Gull
was walked to start things and Eng
lund put through the first hit of the
game and perched on first. Gull made
the rounds on Juenaman's sacrifice to
short. Peavey and Burmeister, were
put away and the side retiredwith a
one-point lead.
In Franklin's second turn with the
cudgel they failed to get man to
first, with a fan, fly to center, and
grounder to pitch.
Redwood ran riot in their half OF
the inning and knocked three pitchers
out of the box. Englund and Peavey
each slammed out three baggers, and
nearly every one hit. When the smoke
cleared up Redwood had accounted
for twelve scores.
Franklin, again failed to perch a
man on the first sack while Redwood
accounted for four more runs. In the
fifth and seventh innings Franklin
scored once in each. A man on first
and a three sack hit accounted for
one run an error by shortstop brought
about the other. Redwood continued
to slam out the pill to all corners of
the field. In the eighth inning Pea
vey slammed out a homer with no
one on, and Franklin put in their fifth
and last pitcher, which had no desirous
effect.
The locals played practically air
tight ball and showed great improve
ment over their first exhibition at
Walnut Grove.

DIR. A. A. fAsleson and C. A. Hillig

this line of work.
This store has been for several years
one of the most creditable of Red

Plans Made for
MidWeek HOLIDAY
COMMITTEE TO INTERVIEW
BUSINESS PEOPLE ON AFTER.
NOON CLOSING.

Some of the business people of Red
wood Falls are considering plan
whereby business people may have a
half holiday each week. The plan is
finding considerable favor among those
with whom it has been discussed. A
committee, consisting of w. R. Rob-
erts, Chris Schultz, H. A. Baldwin,
j. 3. Philbrick, Mrs. Eldon Robbins
and hrs. N. F. Dripps, has the matter
in charge.
The plan as at present outlined is
that business PAGES shall close We'd
nesday afternoon of each week, the
second Wednesday in each month
Bargain Day. being excepted. The
idea is that stores, offices etc. shall
close at twelve-thirty Wednesday
and reopen again at six-thirty where
there is need for evening hours. This
will give all persons. employed in these
places an opportunity to have one-half
day for weekday recreation. 1t will
also automatically provide for the
keeping open of stores, shops, garages
etc one evening each week, this be-
ing matter of convenience for the
farmers who often find it hard to do
their mid-week shopping before six
o'clock. 1t will also do away with
considerable of the Saturday night
congestion and late hours in business
places.
The idea Of the mid-week holiday
was conceived in the minds of those
business men who enjoy ball games
and other sports, who find it impos-
sible to attend or to let their en-
ployes attend these sports on Sat
urday afternoon and are not willing
to attend Sunday games. This Wed
nesday Afternoon off" would enable
those who take part in the sports as
well as those who enjoy them to be
free to attend and would at the same
time work no hardship on those trans
acting business here as the evening
hours would enable them to do this.
The new plan will also make it
possible for the townspeople to unite
with residents of the vicinity in pic
MICS and other outings if these out
ings are arranged for Wednesday
afternoon. This union has been i'm
possible in the past on many occasions
and the impossibility has served as
one of the things which has kept
the TeSlueIlJS Ol the IOWH anu IIIc
country from becoming as well ac-
quainted as they have wished to be-
come.
The committee is anxious to learn
the opinion of all the business people
of the city on this matter, the pres
ent plan being to hold the first half
holiday Wednesday May 30th. The
matter will probably be definitely de-
cided within the next few days.

Legion to Raise
Decoration Fund
MOVEMENT STARTED TO RAISE
100000 TO CARE FOR VET
ERAN'S GRAVES.

To insure that on one day of each
year for all time the grave of every
American World War veteran in Eur
ope shall be decorated, the American
Legion has pledged itself to raise an
endowment fund of at least 100000.
Such is the announcement from ma
tional headquarters made through
Stafford King, Minnesota state adju-
tant.
Plans for the campaign to raise this
permanent memorial have not yet
been completed, Mr.. King said, but it
is probable that each state will be al
lotted a minimum quota based upon
its Legion membership.
"The National Executive Committee
in authorizing this fund.-" said Mr.
King, "felt that the Legion cannot
live forever. We can lay wreaths on
the graves of our fallen brothers in
arms now but even as the Grand
Army is dwindling today, the Legion
will dwindle some day. The 100000,
together with like sum already a
vailable from private contributions
will make it certain beyond the lives
of the men who raise or give the
money that on Memorial Day of every
year the Legion will pay its tribute of
memory"
The Legion voluntarily assumed the
responsibility of decorating the
graves overseas almost at the time of
its birth. Three years ago the Paris
Post and other continental European
posts undertook with the aid of the
Legionnairies in America, to carry
out in Europe the full spirit of Mem
orial Day. Every American veterans
grave in Europe was decorated that
year and the two succeeding years.
Each year Minnesota has contributed
more toward this purpose than any
other state in the union.
There are approximately $4,000
American graves in Europe. Thirty
one thousand four hundred of these
are in France, 48S in England, 144 II
Scotland, forty in Ireland and one in
Spain. Two francs, fifty centimes will
decorate one grave once a year. The
Legion Post of Redwood Falls has as.
signed The Gazette as a place where
contributions for this fund may b..
left. Thus far So has been donated
and it is hoped that this amount may
be greatly increased during. the next
few weeks. Private citizens as well
as Legion members should willingly
subscribe to this worthy fund.

Bonanza Strike in
Florence Nine Lease

A strike OF great richness is re-
ported to have been made in the Flo
rence-Goldheld property in the Kinds
lease. Dispatches appearing in the
Reno papers I've that the ore runs
35 cents under $4,000 a ton In value
and that the rich streak is twenty-six
inches wide. II is at a point forty
feet from the Little Florence shaft
through which the Kinds and other
leases are being worked.
The Little Florence was one of
the bonanza leases of Goldheld In
1906. 1t yielded ore much richer
than that at present reported. Other
Florence leases were quito as rich.
The Reilly lease in 1905 was the
richest Of the year. The following
year came the Hayes-Monette and

were the basis of the great boom of
that year, which spread over the

LOW MEAT PRICES TO
STIMULATE BUSINESS

There will be lively business for
the meat markets of the district for
the immediate future and for an
indefinite time to come, which is
being brought about by a sharp re-
duetion in prices due 10 a general
slump in the wholesale market. 1t
is a general condition throughout
the country. having shown itself the
most radically in this region during
the last week.
This applies broadly 10 larger
transactions. such as quarters and
halves of beef and pork, but even
ordinary sized pot roasts may be had
locally as low as 16 cents a pound.
Prices are not what they were be-
fore the holidays by a difference OF
2 TO 3 cents a pound for oarcas5es,
halves and quarters of pork and the
declines in beef have averaged the
same or more.
The rule is working In two ways
and its application means that grow
Crs are having to take less. II was
only two weeks ago that pork car
eases brought Il and Is IL cents
wholesale. but today they may be
had in plenty at IL IL cents. Halves
of beef are offered at II cents and
under and ~forequarters may be had
at 10 cents and I'm some cases re-
ported considerably under that fig
ure.
The retail price has responded
quite as quickly. until there is no
chance for the cry about the high
cost of meats.
Reasonably as they have sold in
months past they are lower now.
until there Is nothing in the way
for families TO have all the meat they
want at moderate prices-less than
they have been at any time for years.
The open winter. permitting au-
tomobile and truck travel from out
lying ranches, has something to do
with this condition locally. Ranch
.ers f%attening a few head of stock
for market rushed them In just be-
fore and during the holidays, sell.
ing direct 10 consumers IL the local
markets could not take their meats.
Many families have thus stocked up
and the demand is %appreciably ar
fected.
The hide and pelt market Is quite
weak in sympathy with livestock and
dressed meats. Dry calfskins have
suffered a decline OF , cents a pound
at Salt Lake and pelts are 1 cent off
Others have declined I'm like ratio.

Recovery of property stolen at
