Fallies Cast Enjoys
Pleasant Party

An entertaining party for the men,
bers of the Redwood Fallies cast was
held at the armory on Thursday, April
3. The party was attended by near
ly hundred young people, members
of the cast, the chaperons and other
guests. Ward Baldwin and Leon Lu-
acher under whose direction the Fallies
was presented several weeks ago, were
the hosts of the evening and they re-
ceived the thanks of the company for
thoroughly enjoyable time.
The program consisted of number
Of impromptu limitations of various
numbers of the Fallies Comedy.
Nearly all members of the cast Were
called upon to get up on the stage
and give an original impersonation of
some member of the Comedy cast or
in case Of failure to do this, to pay
dollar to the judge of the Kangaroo
Court. The number of dollars was
very small, however, and the enter
tainment furnished was of rather
unusual quality. Good dance music
was furnished throughout the even
ing by five piece orchestra and the
time after the program was spent in
dancing. By order of the Judge, AL
men or boys who did not dance were
liable to a fine by the court, so the
floor was we'll filed throughout al
the dances. A luncheon of sand
wiches, salad. cake and coffee was
served at twelve o'clock.

Coop. Creamery
NEW INDUSTRY STARTED AT
SATURDAY EVENING MEET
ING: &C. A. FREDRICKSON PRES.

The farmers of Milroy community
are about to form Cooperative
Creamery Company, the first steps in
such corporation having been taken
at Saturday evening meeting in the
west side village. Thirty y-eight far
mers were present, each one having
taken some part of the dairy COW

County Agent Lynn Sheldon assisted
in the work of organization.
The promoters incorporated with
the following officers: C. A. Fred
rickson president, VIM. Lewis. vice
president, M. L. Klein, secretary and
H. W. Ludwig, treasurer. The. other
incorporators are Roy Simmons, ID.
T. Redding and j. N. Morgan. Ac-
cording to the COW census taken dur
ing the survey the territory has about
fifteen hundred dairy cows. 1t is the
intention of the Company to pledge
at least a thousand cows, for a five
year term, before proceeding further
with the project. 1t is improbable
that there will be any difficulty in
getting this number. Announcement

Mrs. C.. B. Huschke

Mrs. c. B. Huschke of Morgan died
very suddenly at her home in that
village Friday afternoon. Funeral
services were held at ST. Michaeis
Church at Morgan Monday and inter
ment made in the Catholic cemetery
at Redwood Falls, large number Of
friends from Morgan accompanying
the body to it's last resting place.
Death was caused by an attack of apo
plexy, and Mrs. Huschke was i'll only
a very short time.
Theresa Marie Wager was born at
Davenport, Iowa October 1st, 1864
She was married to c. B. Huschke and
they came to Morgan, taking up their
residence at Gilfillan for several years
and later moving into the village of
Morgan. Mrs. Huschke is survived
by her husband who is now GONZALES
cent after a very severe illness, and
by her three children, Mrs. Will Green
and Herbert Huschke of Morgan and
Miss Genevieve Huschke who is now
teaching at Watertown, S. d.
1t is hard for the Morgan communi-
ty to resign itself to the death of Mrs.
Huschke who was so keenly loved by
everyone and the community's loss
can hardly be estimated. A woman
Of much spirituality, with an aptitude
for helpfulness and sacrifice which is
eiven to few people, Mrs. Huschke was
the ideal friend and "neighbor", moth
ering the school children and helping
them in their school enterprises, en-
couraging the teachers and giving
them every assistance in her power,
always looking for the happiness and
welfare of those about her. Her circle
of acquaintance was extremely wide
and everyone within it's radius is a
SINCERE mOurner.

Judge Olsen Gives
Stiff Sentence

Judge l. M. Olsen handed out two
stiff sentences for fragrant law viola
tions on Wednesday at special ses-
sion of the district court. Walter
Vining of Oshawa, pleaded guilty to
manufacturing moonshine and was
sentenced to 60 days in Jail and was
handed $3.50 fine. If he fails to pay
the fine, he will serve an extra 30
days.
Vining was arrested by Sheriff
Chas. Norman and Deputy Jos. Kneip
last Friday. He had been living on a
farm along the bottom road, but kept
moving his still from place to place
to avoid detection. He had been un-
der surveillance for a long time and
was finally taken into custody despite
his efforts to hide his plant. The still
was found on the old Duehn farm
several miles away from his home.
A double boiler copper still with a
capacity of 80 gallons was used.
About 100 gallons of suger mash was
also found and about gallon of the
finished product. The plant gave IN
dications of having been in use for
some time.-St. Peter Herald.

County Women
Study Problems
SECOND MEETINGS IN HOME
MANAGEMENT PROJECT HELD
LAST WEEK.

The second lesson in the Home
Management Project now being taken
up by the Home Department of Rec
wood County was taken up at Lam
berton Thursday of last week, and
at Redwood Falls Friday, with splen-
did attendance of leaders at botn
places. Miss Julia Newton of the
University Extension Department, and
Miss Mary Bull also of the State
University were present at both
meetings. Mrs. c. D. Clipfell, Red
wood County leader, was in charge.
Under Miss Bulls direction the
twenty leaders present at the Red
wood Falls meeting studied Kitchen
Equipment problems. The construc-
ton of fireless cookers and iceless re-
frigerators was studied and Miss Bull
gave interesting demonstrations of
many articles of practical kitchen
tools.
Interesting reports Of work done
since the last meeting were given dur
ing the morning session. The first
lesson in the course now being studied
dealt with the arrangement of the
kitchen with regard to lighting, work
centers, ETC., and some of the women
spoke most enthusiastically of what
had been accomplished in ehe matter
of re-arrangement. There is an eff
fort being made to ascertain how, all
farm homes may be supplied with
water in the kitchen and also how
these homes can be provided with
drains which function twelve months
in the year. One farmers wife re-
marked that the problem in her sec
tion of the county was not to get the
water into the kitchen but to get any
water at all, wells having gone dry on
many of the farms.
These meetings are held once each
month, and are attended by the leaI-
ers from each township who in turn,
teach to their neighbor women what
has been taught at the central meet
ing. A hundred and eighty women
have signed up for the Home Manage
ment Project and great interest is be-
ing shown in it.

1888 is sewerage
Month|yFarm Wage
APRIL l SURVEY SHOWS TREND
TOWARD HIGHER
LEVELS.

Minnesota farmers are offering an
average of $38.93 for farm hands
working on monthly basis, according
to j. S. Jones, secretary of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau Federation, who
has just completed a statewide sur
vey. His data shows a general trend
toward slightly higher wages in all
departments of farm activities. The
report is based on figures obtained
from Al widely scattered counties.
The trend of farm wages is indicat-
ed by comparisons between the March
L, 1924, and April 1, 1928 and 1922
Surveys.
For day work, the April /, 1924,
average is S1.89 compared with S1.80
and S1.55 on April 1, 1922
For work by the month, the April l.,
1924 average is S3S.93 compared with
$29.7S on March l.; $37 on April l.,
1923 and $30.50 on April l, 1922.
For work on an 8-month basis, the
April l, 1924 average is $44.15 COM
pared with $40.S0 on March L; SAL
on April l, 1923 and $34 on March /,
1922.
The demand is rated as average,
winch Is the same as 1t was on March
L. In April 1923 and 1922, the aver
age demand was strong.
"Higher wages this month are not
unexpected" said Mr.. Jones, '"for
spring activities are opening and far
mers always expect to pay better
wages at this season than during the
late winter months"
These wages are as high or higher
than the averages prevailing in the
cities, Mr.. Jones said, because they
include board and lodging and, in
most instances, washing.

Services Continue
at Church OF Christ

Sunday was a great day at the
Church of Christ. The Sunday School
broke all previous records In atten-
dance. A great deal of enthusiasm
was stirred up over the Red and Green
contest. Miss Doyle was chosen as
captain of the Greens and Harvey
Huhnerkoch captain of the Reds. The
evening service began promptly at
7:3O with rousing song service led
by a choir of thirty voices under the
direction of Miss Clarke Keaves, with
Howard T. House at the piano. The
special number on the Marlnlba-xylo-
phone by Miss Reaves and MIR. House
was greatly enjoyed. Miss Reaves
sang the Golden Bells" with great
feeling and expression. This song is
used by Gospel singers everywhere,
and is one of the best known and best
loved solos. Howard House and DR.,
Vawter played medley on the Organ
Chimes. The deep tones Of this beau
tiful instrument resemble those of a
pipe organ, while the tones in the up
per register have an etherel quality
resembling crystal bells.
DIR. Vawter's sermon on the theme
"Why l am Christian Only" was a
mastery address, and made plain to
all why the members of the Church of
Christ refuse to wear human name.
The evangelist stated that ave are
not the only Christians, but are Chris
tians only" The church was packed
at the evening service, and scores
were turned away. Monday night the
children began the Bible drill conduct
ed by Howard House, and the Juniors
chorus work directed by Will D. Reav-
es. On Wednesday night by special
request Miss Reaves will sing "Whisp-
ering Hope" with an accompaniment
on the Organ Chimes. There were
thirty additions for the week ending
Sunday. Services will continue every
night except Saturday.-Church Re
porter.

Commissioners Aid in
Building Township Roads

$4,000 and Swedes Forest 3650.00.
These appropriations are made tt
the Townships to be spent on County
Aid Roads on fifty-fifty basis; that
is, the County will pay so per cent oi
the cost of any construction up, to the
amount appropriated as before men
toned and under the following condl
tions:
1st. County Aid Roads in eacf
Township will be designated by the
Town Board and this designation must
be approved by the County Board
These roads must connect with State
Aid Road or a Trunk Highway.
End. County Aid Roads must be
built to the Standard required by
the County Board and the Highway
Engineer. This Standard is a roac
graded to 20 #. on top, finished with
smooth surface and with good sub.
tantial bitches and drainage struc.
lures.
3rd. When the construction is com
pleted the work must be approved anu
accepted by the County Commissioner
of the district in which the work was
done, and the Highway Engineer, be
fore the County's appropriation is due
to the Township.
4th. When an itemized statement
of the cost of the work has been filed
by the Township and this bill has been
approved and the work accepted as
before mentioned, the County will pay
the Township so per cent of the cost
of the work not exceeding the amount
appropriated.
5th. In submitting their petition
for County Aid road the Town Board
agrees to properly maintain these
roads after they are constructed and
the County Board reserves the right
to withhold a part of the Townships
appropriation if these roads are not
properly maintained.
In conclusion it might be added that
in adopting this County Aid system
to the Township, the County Board
had in mind the building up of a sys-
tenn of roads that would give nearly
every farmer access to market on a
substantial and we'll improved road.
Also, by appropriating these amounts
to the Townships they equaliZe the
benefits from the County Road and
Bridge Fund which all Townships pay
an equal amount toward, in proportion
to their assessed valuation. Without
this County Aid System the County
Road and Bridge money is spent on
the State Aid Roads only, therefore
the Townships having more than their
share of State Aid roads
would get more than their share OF
the CJanty's funds.

The Town Boards from the Town
ships of Brookville, Shutdown, Thre4
Lakes, Morgan, Paxton and Sherman
appeared before the Redwood County
Board last week and petitioned to
have the North and South road on
the Township line between Ranges "a
and 35 designated as a County Aid
road. The description of this road is
as follows: Commencing at the S.W.,
ship,-thence N. on Township line
between the townships of Brookvilfe
and Sundown, Morgan and Three
Lakes and Sherman and Paxton as
far as the NV, cor. of Sec. in Sher-
man Township where it connects with
S.R. No. 2-total length II miles.
This will be direct route from
Springfield to Morton
In petitioning to have this road
designated, the Township of Shutdown
asked to have the County appropriate
an extra 100000 to apply on the con-
struction of the mile of road between
Sec. 25 in Shutdown and Sec. so in
Brookville, as there are several
bridges on this mile, it is an excep-
tionally heavy piece of work and much
more expensive than the average
County Aid work. Therefore the
County Board in approving this road
appropriated the 100000 to be appli-
ed on this mile. This is the first de-
signation of County Aid roads to be
approved by the County Board in
1924.
The townships in Redwood County
have been building roads under this
County Aid System during the past
two years, and synopsis of the rules
and regulations governing the appro-
priation and expending of these funds,
and how the work is handled, may be
of interest to the reader.
The amount appropriated to each
Township, for 1924, to be expended on
County Aid Roads, is 100000 except
the following Townships which recelv
ed more on account of having less than
their proportinate share of State
Roads, these are as follows: Johnson
Vile $4,000, Springdale $12OO.00,
$1200.0O, and Shutdown
100000 extra to be applied on the
mile heretofore mentioned and which
is their extra appropriation on account
of not having their proportinate mile
age of State roads and it Is under
stood that this extra appropriation
will be for this year only. Homer
and Swedes Forest Townships will re.
ceive less than 100000 on account OF
not being full seized Townships. These
are as follows Homer

Auto Tax-SIaCker
Drive Opens Early
TAX DODGER ROUNDUP STARTS
THIS WEEK; LAW STRIN-
GENT.

Redwood county owners of cars anC
trucks without 1924 license plates
now are liable to 500 fine or a 90
day Jail sentence and round-ups Of
auto tax slackers are starting over
the state this week.
Sheriffs and police officers are
charged with the duty of enforcing
the law against the tax slackers, in
justice to more than 100000 moto,
vehicle owners who have paid. Coun.
ty attorneys must prosecute violations
brought to their attention and public
cooperation is sought in the cam
paign.
Charles M Babcock, state highway
commissioner, is notifying state high
way department employees to aid in
enforcement of the law under a pro-
vision that regular employees may be
specially assigned to that work.
Not only will drivers of unlicensed
cars and trucks be arrested, it is Of
ficially announced, but these provi-
sions are to be rigidly enforced:
''No motor vehicle bearing
dealer plates shall be used on
any public street or highway ex-
cept for the purpose in good faith
of exhibiting or demonstrating the
same to the prospective purchaser,
Or for the purpose of moving the
same from warehouse to sales
room."
"Tax exempt plates shall not
be used on any vehicle unless the
name of the state department or
the political subdivision owning
such vehicle shall be plainly print
ed on both sides thereof
The section to prevent abuses of
dealers license privileges prohibits
the dealer from using a demonstration
as a personal or family car without
taking out the regular private car
license. Violation of either provision
is punishable by 500 fine or 90-day
Jail term, as are other offenses against
the motor vehicle tax law.
The highway commissioner is au-
thorized to assign only regular en-
ployees to motor vehicle tax enforce
ment, it was pointed out, and for that
reason no new auto tax license in
spectors can be appointed this year.
