 The outline of the bridge is from an aspect locking north, from below the bridge toward Gargill Falls. The span Is seventy feet in length. the arch to he of reinforced concrete, the cement being furnished by the state.
 The lamp standards will be pre-east concrete posts with bronze lamps on the top similar to those appearing in the sketch. There will be memorial tablets on either side in the middle of the bridge, bearing the towns honor roll. and on each of the end posts will be tablets bearing the insignia of the four branches of the serviee--army, navy. marine corps and aviation de- partment.
 IL has been suggested that the dedi. cation of the bridge he made no:s- worthy event. This matter will soon be taken up and plans formulated to have a fitting dedication. The town has appropriated Sii ,5o0 to be ex- | pended ir the construction of the bridge, of which 5000 is for the side- walks on either side of the bridge. and 2,500 for the memorials and tablets.
 Appropriate Dedication Alexander Gilman, chairman of the committee on bridge construction. has emphatieally stated that in his opinion Putnam will have bridge and me- morial that will satisfy and be pride of all citizens of the town. He has also expressed determination to make the dedication of the new bridge an impressive ceremony. and steps to make 1t so will soon be taken.
 Commissioner Macdonald has done all he possibly can to assure the quick completion of the structure, and hts ideas regarding the memorial feature | for his former home town have met with the approval of the committee and have been endorsed by the citizens who voted the necessary appropriation. ] State VIII Maintain i A new law affecting the maintenance of bridges. passed by the general as- sembly at the last session, went into effect July 1, and hereafter the cost of maintenance on uncompleted sec tions of trunk line highways must be borne by the towns in which such bridges are located. and if bridge is in two towns must be borne by each in proportion. This section does not af- feet the new bridge on Pomfret street.
 Another section of the law did af- feet the erection of Putnam's new bridge, however, and made necessary the appropriation of $9,0O0, which was unanimously voted in town meeting. This section provides that the cost of construeting additional widths over bridges above the twenty-eight foot roadway, the installation of lights and the building of sidewalks shall be borne hy the town requesting such additions.
 This was stated to the town of Put nam when the state proposed to build the new bridge on Pomfret street, and 1t was this feature of the undertaking that was placed in the hands of a conn mittee of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce, with the result that the roadway of the bridge will be 3o.b feet with six foot sidewalk on each side, making a total of 42.5 feet. 4

all tastes was given at the Belden-
vile Community Club Saturday eve
ming, Nov. %.
There was banjo music by Terry
Snow and Fred Gilbertson and a
number of songs by a group of young

Plenty of fun was furnished by
Vivian Richardson and Edith Fox

industries in the country.

Governor Christianson has named Friday
May 1st as Arbor Day and urges that the people
of the state give the day due observance by the
planting of trees and shrubery around our school
houses, our homes, and, where possible, around
the places where we work. During the entire
week." says the governor, "let us give thought
to the larger aspect of the forestry problem. Let
u.s. in our schools and our public gatherings,
study the need of protecting forests from fire
and other needless waste and let us give thought
to they Importance of reforestation. For our
forests are not merely useful because they sup
ply timber. They have an important relation to
agriculture, through their influence upon mois-
ture and temperature. They furnish refuge for
our wild life and they have an important rela-
ton to human health and happiness The welfare
of our children and our grandchildren requires
that the forestry problem should have the serious
attention Of the present generation" all of which
the people Of Minnesota viii do wen to give care
full consideration.

Tax Exempt Bonds are something concerning
which the average American citizens knows very
little-n fact about all the most of us know about
them is enough to condemn the fellow who pos
sessess a few. The fact that we know nothing
of the value or merits of his possessions doesn't
in the least deter us from labelling them IAN
easy way to dodge the income tax" That these
bonds have real value, that they are not a
subterfuge for the investor to hide behind and
that they offer opportunity to even the small
investor, is matter clearly set forth in a series
of educational talks just launched by the Southern
Minnesota Joint Stock Land Bank of Redwood
Falls. The talks contain much information which
each of us should absorb. The Gazette takes
Measure inintroducing this series of talks, which
win cover period Of many weeks, to the people

I've noticed when fellow dies
His friends from far and near
All gather round and say nice things
Of him (but the dead don't hear.)
They bring him flowers made up in wreaths,
Which sometimes fill room,
But the dead don't even get smell
Of the fragrance they exhume.
I've seen folks there that haven't spoke
To him in many years,
But now they congregate and mourn,
Their eyes are dimmed with tears;
They all forget the bitter words
They spoke but yesterday
And they find a multitude
Of compliments to pay.
When you and cash in our checks,
They'll do the same, guess;
But just as far as I'm concerned,
It won't be my request,
So if it's all the same to you,

WEDNESDAY APRIL Is, 1925.
EASTER
(By LARRY HOY

S the world begins to stir to new wonder.
~ of life under the magic touch of Spring
Easter comes to awaken in the human
soul new sense of larger life, to call the hush
ed heart to enlarged melodies, to bring to bue
and blossom every hope that has been dormant
through winter days of doubt and grief. Easter
is the true spirit Of Spring. 1t speaks of Life
1t thrills with pulsing joy. 1t beckons the vision
toward cloudless skies. 1t is the symbol of
Morning.
Easter is the time of adventuring. 1t lures
to far heights. 1t speaks of immortal quests
that have no ending. 1t spurs forth on journeys
that are not wanderings, but discoveries. 1t has
a boundless course; voyaging among unseen
things but always within the horizons of Home.
In the rush of life we become encrusted with
the tameness and montony of a very circum-
scribed living. We accumulate much Of the dry
dust of things; we find the windows of experience
blackened with the touch of clay. Easter comes
to remind us that life should be a clean-swept
beauty, blown upon by far winds, ceansed by
mountain airs, gilded by the romance of endless
searchngs, glorified by the vast surprises of
time and eternity. Easter chides US that we
have made so common a thing of our living,
daubed in with drab colors stained it with trivial
events, when by mere choice could make it
splendid with affinties that are eternal, noble
with aspirations that outwing the stars, and
glad with the ecstasies. that conquer death.
Easter calls from our cabins of clay to
inhabit the spaces of Heaven. It bios us put
away the worn-out garments of mortality and
to grow into the dignity of Gods children. 1t
calls us to Resurrection,-res from cheap
things and mean resurrection from bitterness
and hate and doubt and lttleness resurrection
from vanity and pride and sefishnes, into the
fullness of the life that is born of love, and
dedicated to God. 1t calls us from Death TO Life
both here and hereafter.
Out of the troubles of these times men are
coming to see again, always see in the
long run, that the spiritual life is the supreme
interest of humanity. Easter comes to remind
of this, to tell US that we must give ourselves
to the eternal purposes if we would inherit etern-
al life. Thrones crumble, kingdoms pass away,
the shores of time, but the Word of God remains
the unfading landmark amidst the shifting
changes of the years. If we could all feel this on
Easter, and rise to answer the challenge of East
with nobler and higher ideals, how earth would
ring with the joy that suddenly famed in human
hearts.

Some shark for figures in the First National
Bank at Lake Wilson figures out that if each
of us were to save twenty-five cents per day and
put the savings at interest where said interest
would compound itself, at the end of five years
each of would have five hundred dollars.
Twenty-Five cents a day isn't so much except
that it means sacrificing small pleasures
sionally. But we willing to let there isn't
one among who note what the Lake Wilson
Bank says who will be willing. to make this sacri
flee.
