friends. But when called upon he
begged for further time, stating or
implying that conditions at the water
works plant were in such shape that a
more thorough investigation was
necessary before a full report could
be made. He said he was not stalling
for time as the delay in getting down
to bed rock would not be charged
up against the city.
People are still on the anxious seat,
wondering just what would happen it
the one and only big pump now the
sole reliance for water supply, should
suddenly "bust up" as did its TWIN a
few weeks ago, and leave but the
dinky little auxiliary pump to supply
water for the town. Truly it would
be bad outlook, especially in case
of serious fire.
Let's get busy and at least start
beginning to get ready to make ar
rangements looking toward the pur-
chase and installation of that new
pump which it will require several
months to build and set up after it is
ordered.

Geo. A. Barnes
Reports on Work
FIRST YEAR SHOWS s214s.5o AS
SESSED FINES; MUCH OTHER
WORK BY co. ATTORNEY.

Attorney Geo. A. Barnes, complet-
ing his first year as County Attorney
of Redwood County, has made COM
plete report of the work done by his
office during this time. Even the
most casual survey of this report
shows that the work done in the en-
forcing of the law during this period
has been much, and that it has been
well executed, Mr.. Barnes in this way
carrying forward the efficient work
done by Attorney Albert Emerson dur
ing his tenure of this office. In all
this work Mr.. Barnes has been given
the best of cooperation by Sheriff l.
j. Kise. While it is not possible to
give the report in it's entirety, the
following brief summary shows the
volume of work done.
Of the total of $2149.50 Assessed
Fines, $4,000 was the result of ar
rests made for violation of liquor
laws, thirteen cases having been
brought before the District Court and
ten cases before the municipal court,
Fines amounting to $373.75 were paid
for drunkenness. The other crimes for
which fines were assessed include al
most everything in the category OF
crime from assault, burglary, larceny
etc. to selling securities without
license and violating the auto laws.
A total of twenty-five cases were
entered in District Court and disposed
of in many different ways, fourteen of
them resulting in convictions. There
have been four dismissals, three cases
are pending, and the jury disagreed in
one case. Two of those found guilty
were sent to state prison, four to the
state reformatory and eight were inn
prisoned in the county jail. Six paid
fines. Sentence was suspended in only
one of these cases.
Sixty cases were entered in the
municipal and justice courts of the
County. Fifty-five pleaded guilty,
four were found guilty, making total
of fifty-nine convictions. Six cases
were dismissed, two cases are pend
ing, two were imprisoned in the coun-
ty Jail and thirty-one paid fines.
During the year three coroner's
inquests were held, two civil cases
disposed of in District Court by the
County Attorney and large number
of Investigations were made. Even this
brief and incomplete resume of the
work done, shows that Mr.. Barnes has
been active in the interests of law
enforcement in Redwood County and
has spent literally of his time and en-
ergy in investigating cases as we'll as
in prosecuting those which have come
before him through the regular cham
nels. Added to all this work are num-
berless lesser activities not recorded,
all of which call for the time and at
tention of the County Attorney, and
it is gratifying to the citizens of the
County that Mr.. Barnes is doing its
work so creditably.

TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIvE
CHILDREN NOW GETTING RE-

The Weekday Religious Education,
undertaken by the clergy of the city,
started last week with the Thursday
sessions and started most auspiciously
with a total enrolment of two hum

children are receiving the instruction
in the Church of st. Catherine under
the direction of Father w. j. Jiracek;
thirteen are receiving instruction in
the parochial school of the Lutheran
Church with Rev. Nickels as the direc-

the day at the Presbyterian Church.
grades. There are enrolled in these
grades in the public schools a total
of three hundred five. Thus there are
only twenty children not enrolled in
any of these classes. While the per-
centage of those attending is not quite
so large as was figured before all the
figures for the enrolment were at
hand and slightly discredits the claim
made in the editorial columns Of this
issue, the enrolment is pleasingly
large. This endorsement given by
the parents to the project which has
been occupying the minds of the past
ors of the city for the past many
weeks, is most gratifying to the pro-
moters.
The children from Protestant homes
meet at different hours at the Presby-
terian Church under the following
teachers:

Company | Plays
Three Hard Games
COMPANY TEAM WINS TWO AND
LOSES ONE; MORTON Is
VICTOR.

Last week Company L had three
hard games scheduled and came out
victorious in the first two. But the
last game, which was the hardest,
found several members of the team
badly battered up and the game was
lost. Sprains and bruises taken on
in the first two games are credited
with having lost the final.
Monday evening the team went to
New Ulm and took Company A into
camp with score of 81 to %. From
the beginning of the game it could
easily be seen that Company L had
the better outfit and the victory was
forseen.
Company L. took the lead in the
early part of the game and kept it
throughout. Hoffert had an eagle eye
for baskets, rolling in three the first
half and five the last. Company A
came back strong the last half but
good defensive work on the part Of
Mason and Lamberton kept them from
making many counts. Martin and
Cole both played their positions in
good form.
Olivia Game.
Tuesday night found the Company
team in action at Olivia and again
they were able to show the Olivia Five
that Redwood had the better team.
This game was mighty exciting af-
fair and the Company did some real
playing to nose out the Olivia outfit.
The first half the Company had the
edge on Olivia and had big lead at
the end of the half. Crevier and
Lamberton were working in fine shape
and held Olivia to three baskets while
Hoffert and Martin counted up II
points for the Company.
At the half Olivia made some
changes and came back strong Some
of the new men had good eye for
long shots and the Olivia score was
brought up until, with only fifteen
seconds to play, they had one point
lead. The ball was passed to center
and Martin got the tipoff, Hoffert get

COUNTY MET AT WABASSO.

The thirty-fourth annual meeting
of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company of Redwood County,

which Secretary Raveling read the
minutes of the previous annual meet
ing. Then followed the annual re-
port of the company, showing the
number of policies and amount of
insurance in force, the cash exhibit
and the statement of losses paid dur
ing the year. All of the above re-
ports were approved as read.
The election of directors was a
rather tame affair, motion being
made and seconded to re-elect all
the old directors by acclamation
This motion was carried unanimous
ly and the following directors were
reelected: Chas. Goehring, San
born; E. E. Nichols, Tracy; Chas.
Huehnerkock, Redwood Falls, and
HI. Redding, Morgan. The directors
holding over are as follows: John

cob Neuenburg; vice president, n

JECTS COMING YEAR.

The fifth annual convention of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation,
held in st. Paul, January 8, 9 and 10,
unanimously reelected j. F. Reed
president and adopted program of
work for 1924, the outstanding fea-
lures of which are demands that the
Farm Bureau strive to obtain a strong
local organization in every township
in the state and continue it's assistance
in the up-building of cooperative. mar
part of the development of township
unit associations will be an aggressive
program Of home and community ac-
tivities.
This was the third time that Mr.
Reed has been unanimously elected to
the position of president. A. ]. Olson
of Renvilie likewise was unanimously
elected vice president. j. j. Jacobson
of Bowlus and George Freeman of
Zumbrota. whose terms as directors
expired, were reelected for three
years without opposition. Hagbarth
Bue of Mortified was elected second
vice president, after the convention
chad adopted amendments to it's articles
of incorporation which provided for
consolidating the offices of secretary
and treasurer. He defeated w. H.
Wischow of Winona. More than $50
delegates attended the convention.

tion of the Farm Bureaus 1924 Pro-
gram demands that salaries of coun-
ty agents be paid from public funds;
that home and community work be
made major project in Farm Bureau
activities; that major drainage pro-
jects be curtailed until there shall be
a greater need for reclamation; that
farmers reduce their overhead as
much as possible as one way of in
creasing the farm income and that ma
tural resources be conserved for the
benefit of all people.
The program recommends commo-
dity cooperative marketing as the
best known type and points out that
the aim of farmer-owned selling
agencies should be to substitute ord
erly marketing for the present prac-
tice of dumping a crop at harvest
time.

WORK; NEED SUPPORT.

Friday evenings game between Red
wood High School and the Olivia High
School ended in a two-point victory
for the Olivians. Redwood was not
able to sink the ball through the net,
their shots always rolling around the
edge or otherwise misbehaving. Oil
via got few shots near the basket on
account of the excellent defensive
game of Redwood.
Captain Manning was the first to
score, making a free throw. Red
wood kept it's one-point lead during
the first quarter and did some real
battling to keep Olivia from scoring.

to in favor of Redwood.
The second quarter was real bat
tie, both teams putting out their best
BRAND of basketball. Cole and Cor
bett had especially hard luck in shoot
ing in this quarter, neither being able
to bring up Redwoods tally. Olivia
was given some chances at free throws
and counted up two points which
gave them a one point lead which they
still had at the end of the first half.
The last half started off with as
much speed and pep as the first, and
both teams were determined to score.
Bobzin outjumped his man most of the
time this half, giving Redwood the
tipoff, but the good defensive work
on the part of Oivia's guards kept
Redwood from scoring right on the
start. Some good floor work on the
part of Redwood gave Cole shot
which he dropped through the net.
Capt. Morse of Olivia tried some long
ones to even up the score but failed
to do it, the quarter ending to in
favor of Redwood.
Redwood kept this one point lead
for several minutes in the last quart
er and things looked prosperous for a
while. Manning scored another free
throw which gave his team two
point lead, Olivia's forward soon made
a long one which tied things up. They

existence of the military roads was a
powerful factor in the motives which

here rather than elsewhere. The first
road in Redwood County was the old
Military road, connecting Fort Ridge
ly with the two Indian agencies. In
places this road was graded by the
government. For the most part, how
ever, it consisted of two wagon ruts,
which in time were worn deep into
the prairie sod. orth of the Mime
sofa, and also following the general
course of that stream, was the mill
tary road connecting Fort Ridgely
with Fort Abercombie. To the east
ward, Fort Ridgely was connected
with st. Peter and Henderson. From
st. Peter and Henderson, roads led in
various directions. Thus road COM
munication was early established be-
tween Redwood County and the inn
portant settlements Of the territory.
