Shall We Ask
Charley To
Pave To Morton
CITIZENS CONSIDER PROBLEM
OF ASKING FOR PAVEMENT
ON NOS. Ala To MORTON; !;
MUST GET BUSY.

If Redwood Falls citizens are wise,
and if they live up to the rumors
af1oat for the past several days, the
State Highway Commission will be
asked to include in its next years
program the paving of the stretch
of road from Redwood Falls to Nor
ton. Several prominent citizens are
inclined to think that this is a high
ly justifiable request and the Ga
zette assuredly agrees with them.
There are several reasons why
such a request is justifiable. One
is that this road is junction OF
Highways Nos. and Ia and is thus
obliged to carry heavier traffic thar
any other road in this section, with
a large amount of bus travel in ad.
dition. For the past season the
road has been in notably poor con-
dition, that from the top of the hill
into Redwood Falls being especially
bad. In order to have this road in
the condition it should be there il
necessary the work of regarding anG
rebuilding practically the whole way
there being no adequate grade es
tablished at the present time. Since
this amount of work has to be ex
panded upon the road, future main
tainance might just as well be elm
mated by having it paved instead Of
simply graded and gravelled.
This immediate section of tht
state has no paving. Certainly M
County in the state has done more
at it's own expense in pioneering TO
good roads, in building roads while
the process was still in the expert
mental stage and otherwise further
ing the cause than has Redwoo'
County. It is fitting that this ser
vice be recognized by this favo
from the State Highway Commission
er, and if Redwood County peopl
have Charles Babcock and his co
workers sized up right, the count.
is due to get that recognition. o.
no other expanse of road in the coun
ty would paving benefit so man.
travellers as on their road, which i
used not only by residents of tn
county itself but from travellers al
over the country. Highway No.
has been declared part of the sys
tenn of Federal Roads and it is there
fore very fitting that as much 9
it as possible be paved. There /
no place any better to start said pay
| ing than on the section leading ou
from Redwood Falls. The matte
should be Immediately taken u
with the Commission before tn
paving program for next season
completed.

Races For Fair
Promise Good
Sport To Fans
SPECIAL RUNNING RACE FOR
REDWOOD AND RENVILLE
COUNTIES; HORSES FEATUR-
ED FOR TUESDAY.

While it is too early to give the
names of all the horses which will
race at the Redwood County Fair,
Speed Superintendent A. D. McRae
states that thirty-five good ones
have entered and the entry lists are
not closed yet. Mr.. McRae says that
they are all good ones and the races
this year will be up to the high STAN
dard of those of former years.
In addition to the races for which
the program has already been ar
ranged, Mr.. McRae announces a
special running race for Tuesday af-
ternoon. This race will be a half
mile running race for Redwood and
Renville County horses, the best two
out of three. The purse Of $4,000
has been divided into purses OF $25.-
90, $500 and $1,000 respectively.
A race of this nature always at

Fair Management
Ready For Bigger
And Better Fair
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS Ex-
PANDED AND RE-ARRANGED
TO CARE FOR INCREASED
CROWDS.

With five days before the OPEN
ing of the Redwood County fair the
superintendents of the various de-
partments are mighty busy people,
being kept busy enlarging and inn
proving the grounds, providing for
more and better parking space, get
ting ready to house the big displays
of Redwood County products and in
other ways preparing to handle q
larger crowd than has ever visited
the fair here before. Among other
things, the management expects that
the exhibit of high class stock will
be the largest ever shown at any
county fair here. The new dance pavil-
ion and the new dormitory and demon
stration building for the members Of
the Boys and Girls Clubs of Redwood
County are both nearing completion.
Both will be ready for use before
September 28th. Another reason for
believing that the Fair is to be one
of the best is that the main exhibit
hall is completely reserved-an un-
usual situation for so long before
the opening day.
w. A. Hauck, superintendent of
grounds, has been working hard to
get the parking space in shape to
handle the large number of cars ex-
pected. The fence on the east side
has been moved twenty feet closer
to the road, making it possible for
cars to pass and to park on the north
side of the race track if necessary.
The old road just south of the ex-
hibition hall has been replaced by q
new one about hundred feet far
ther south, this change being made
in the interests Of the Safety
First" slogan and also to facilitate
parking.
w. L. Hardy, builder of the dance
hall, structure 60 feet by 140 feet,
has been working overtime to get
the building completed. This prom
ises to be one of the best dance
floors in this part of the state. The
new home quarters of the Redwood
County Boys and Girls Clubs which
is situated on the west end OF the
grounds is two story succeed build
| ing with all modern conveniences in
which the boys and girls will be
housed and fed. The dining room is
on the main floor and meals will be
served cafeteria style to members
of the clubs. Sleeping quarters for
| club members are on the second
floor, the girls having the north side
of the building and the boys the
south side. This building has been
erected by the Redwood County
Board of Commissioners in order
that club members making exhibits
may be comfortable and well cared
for during the fair.
All booths in the main exhibit
building have been spoken for. On
the north side of the east wing, in
| the booth formerly occupied by the
canning exhibit, there will be dis
play of bees and honey. On the south
side of the east wing there will be
booths of different townships, there
being three entered this year, viz,
Redwood Falls, Brookville and Gales:
The Fair Association expects and
hopes that more of the townships
will be represented at the fairs in the
| future if not this year. The north

Minnesota Land
Again Showing
Its High Value
CONDITIONS IN GRANT AND
STEVENS COUNTIES SHOW
BIG GAIN; BUYERS FROM
IOWA BEGIN TO FLOCK IN.
(By Charles B. Cheney

Land dealings in the vicinity of
Morris are getting all stirred up.
The influx of farm buyers from Iowa
and other states in the last few days
has taken them by SURPRISE 1t be-
gins to look like old times. No one
expects boom, but signs point to
healthy conditions in the land mar
ket.
There is plenty of land for sale,
in various stages of improvement.
Most of the buyers are very particu-
lar and want good farms. One Ger
man farmer who sold during the
boom and salted his money away
looked all over Stevens and Grant
counties and bought farm the other
day near Morris, paying 112 an acre.
He is going to work the farm him
self.
Business conditions, as seen in
Morris, indicate marked improve
ment this year, even over 1924, when
there was bigger crop. The
trouble last year was that many farm
ers were deep in debt and had to
turn over every cent on land con-
tracts or mortgages. Merchants col
lected some old bills but did not sell
normal amount of goods for some
time. The condition this year has
been improving steadily. The re-
suits of better diversifcation are
showing and the farmers income
spread out through the year instead
| of coming in one lump in the fall
with everybody fighting for it.
Signs of Better Times
Signs of better times. as reported
by the business men of Morris, are
| for instance:
Bank deposits are heavier than
a year ago, and the bank re-
serve much larger.
Merchants are doing a "nOr-
mali business and are getting
settlements on old bills.
Farmers are not borrowing,
but are cutting down on their
obligations.
Hardly any farms are in pro-
cess of foreclosure.
No chattel mortgages are be-
/ ing fOreclosed.
There are no deliHquencies in
4 martgage interest payments.
i aP. E. Miller, superintendent Of th'
4 West High School of Agriculture
says the farmers are in better SHAPE
than last year and are getting fair
ly good returns. His advance en-
rollment of 325 students is the bes
on record, and the school probabl.
will open Sept. % with $50 students
which in itself is an indication of re
turning prosperity.

une, and A. w. Libbey, of the Nor
ris Sun, agrees with the diagnosis O
