MORE EXPENSIVE

Thanksgiving turkey eating will be
somewhat more costly this year than
in the past two years, it is predicted.
The turkey crop is not as large as it
was last year or the year before. The
cool weather this fall has been favor
able turkey weather" So long as
the days and nights are comparative
ly warm, turkeys continue to roam the
country and fail to put on flesh. When
the temperature falls, they are con-
tent to cease wandering off, and set
tie down to grain feeding which rap
idly adds pounds of turkey meat. The
crop generally is further advanced
than at this time in several years, and
reports from the country consistent
ly tell of the high quality of the tur-
keys. Stocks of turkeys in storage
are less than half as large as at this
time year ago and 40 per cent below
the five-year average. Reserves of
frozen turkeys, therefore, will be less
of market factor this season than
last. Holdings of chickens and fowls
are five million pounds larger than a
year ago and ten million pounds larg-
er than the five-year average, how
ever, offsetting to some degree the de-
cline in turkeys.

two bridges between Fairfax and
Morton, one going to the Arlington
Cement Stone Works at $3.50 and one
to Arnold Ische of Norwood at 3d.
983. The bridge which was complet-
ed between Morton and Redwood Falls
last July cost $8,728.
The road now under construction
parallels the railroad on the north
side except short distance west of
Franklin. The change of location
eliminates one railroad grade crossing
near Fairfax and one at Franklin
and the contract to be let next spring
will eliminate the grade crossing at
the round house at@Morton. The dis
lance will, also be shortened nearly
mile between Fairfax and-Morton
and about half mile between Morton
and Redwood Falls.
No traffic census was taken at
Morton, but the highway depart
ment's count in August showed 1143
vehicles per day west of ! Redwood
Falls and 704 per day on No. IA east
of Winthrop. On No. there were
408 per day between Sanborn and
Redwood Falls and 744 per day north
OF Olivia. Since both of these high.
ways come over the same route be-
tween Morton and Redwood Falls, it
is safe that traffic on the stretch of
road during the summer is close to
| 200 cars per day and this will in
crease when the road is improved,

Redwood County Board of Commits
sioners was held at the court house
last Tuesday and the regular routine
business transacted. One of the items
OF this business was the designating

at the west end Of No. 8 and runs
through to the Lyon County line. APP
plication was also made to the State
Highway Department to have the
maintenance fund increased from 20
per cent to rs per cent. In the mat

Complete disqualification, wit
treatment ranking as the finest in tn
world, will be ready for nearly al
Minnesota veterans of the World wa,
March l, when the huge $3.50 ,O0t
United States Veterans bureau hospi
tai at Fort Smelling is opened.
Work on the 20 buildings is rush
ing along at top speed, the contracto,
is seven weeks ahead of schedule, and
government inspectors will soon be
called upon to give their final inspec-
ton of the little city that will house
men who lost their health in the SER
vice.
Nearly all of the buildings now are
in the final stages of construction, ac-
cording to Major N. V. Perry, con-
struction superintendent.
Work has been progressing so well'
he said Saturday, "that every indica-
ton now is that we will set record
here in the construction of govern
ment hospitals. We probably will be
ready around the first of February,
which is two months earlier than call
ed for in the contract"
Former soldiers who are to be hos
pitalized in the new group will be re-
cruited chiefly from the Aberdeen and
Asbury hospitals in Minneapolis and
St. Paul although no residence linn
its have been set on eligibility to the
institution. Veterans in need of treat
ments may enter from any point, ac-
cording to bureau officials.
The hospital will comprise one of |
the most complete medical units in
he world, equipped with the latest
devices known to science and furnish
ID to give every patient the particular
attention needed by his case.
The buildings are all grouped to

Overhead Bridge For
Highway n Planned

Contracts for grading the State
Trunk highway west from Morton
and building new bridge over the
Minnesota river will probably be
awarded early next spring, accord
ing to word received from the Mime
sofa Highway department. A good
start has been made on the grading
between Morton and Fairfax, which
was placed under contracts early in
October.
In response to query from the
Enterprise, Mr.. O. L. Kipp, construc-
ton engineer of the department, states
that the contract for the work neces-
sary to complete the road through
Morton and across the Minnesota riv-
er bottoms has not been advertised
for letting because the department
has been unable to complete the
bridge plans or to work out an agree
ment with the Minneapolis & St.
Louis Railway company. The survey
on which plans are now being prepar-
ed contemplates that the line will go
through Morton on Second street.
and thence in a southwesterly direc-
ton across the Minnesota river and
the overflow channel, crossing the
railroad about a quarter of a mile |
west of the railway trestle with an ov-
erhead bridge.
On account of the fact that the
plans have not been completed, the
department is unable to furnish an
estimate of the cost of this work. Mr..
Klpp says he expects plans for this
project will be completed during the
winter and that contracts will be let
IN the spring so that this work may
be completed in 1927.
Work is we'll under way ON the con-
tracts which were let in October for
construction from the end of the
completed work east of Fairfax to
Morton. This work was divided into !;
two jobs. R. P. England of Mitchell,
>. D., has the contract for grading ]
lib miles from Fairfax to Franklin !
at S33,72O. This job calls for NOV =
ing about $4,000 cubic yards of dirt E
and on Nov. 13 about Is per cent of .
TINS was completed. Adolph Peter a
s0n OF Little Falls has the contract
Tor 40 miles of grading from Frank E
I'm to Morton. This calls for moving +
$4,000 cubic yards of dirt. This Job 4
IS to cost $37, and is about Is per n
cent finished How much more will

extent on the weather. The Morris Il
construction Co. of Morris has the +,
contract for culverts on both pro- =,
ects, the price being $3.872 for the T
tairfax-Franklin end and SO ,27O for

SENATOR REED NAILS
CHICKEN EEED'LES

The Indianapolis News quoted Senator
James A. Reed as saying that his Indiana in
vestigation had produced only chicken feed"
Here is the public rebuke administered by
Senator Reed:
II did not say that the Indiana investigation
was chaff and chicken feed. did say that minor
matters left undone when was compelled to
leave, were.
IT think the investigation proved conclusive
ly that the chairman of the Republican commit
tee put out deliberate falsehood and was utterly
discredited.
''Walb said the State was being flooded with
money at that time, Oct. H. and what he meant
was a lot of cheap pamphlets. Then it was dis
covered that the Office from which the pamphlets
were distributed closed July l.

Both Senators were described as

bits of legislation, voting against the
World Court. supporting prohibition
and their professionalism" and Ma
sonic affiliation were stressed.
Albert Stump and Evans Woollen,
the Democratic nominees, on the
other hand, were dismissed with
faint praise and were classified as
neutral. Stump was called fair

offices. Like Watson. he was In
dorsed as a dry. Woonen. however,
was said by the Khan recorders to
be neutral on the wet and dry issue.
Neutral on Count
Both Stump and Woollen were
marked as neutral on the subject Of
the World Court.
Proceeding to nearly open indorse-
ment OF Frederick e. Schortemeier
for Secretary Of State and Lewis
Bowman for State auditor, Smith
left the impression that the Khan
would frown upon the candidacy Of
Mrs. Grace B. Urbahns, Republican
candidate for treasurer.
Favorable" was the verdict for
Charles F. Miller, Republican, who
wishes to become superintendent Of
public instruction.

sheet to the conjecture of the as
sembly.
Il am so glad the word has come
for the Khan to stay out Of politics."
Mrs. Lillian Sedwick, member of the
Indianapolis school board and head
of the Marion County Khan women,
said.
"Some people might say a school
board member has no business at a
political meeting, since we are not
supposed to have politics. in the
school board. but since the Klan is
out Of politics, I feel I am commit
ting no offense."
Calls it Sacrifice
Orbison illustrated what he said
were sacrifices necessary to a good
Klansman by declaring:
1.-TWO and one-haR years ago. I
aspired to become Governor of In
diana, but I was persuaded that it
would be to the good of the organ
ization If another were supported.
Therefore I foreswore my own am
bition."
Smith said those who were con-
Quoting the present political agita
ton Sought to drag present candi-
dates through the mud that once
existed in the Klan and to envelop
them with the robe and regalia of
the Khan. to discredit them as candi,
dates and to destroy the Klan's in
fluence."
Nevertheless, Smith continued,
"The Ku-Klux Klan is and will be
the balance of power in Indiana"
Not to Blame
Smith said the Khan was wrongly
blamed for the activities of D. c.
Stephenson, inasmuch as the Khan
had 'banished" him after he had
served as grand dragon.

litical representative of Imperial

COUNCIL ACTION
H|TSPLAN BODY
Ordinance Would Make
Functions Merely Advisory.

City councilmen Monday night
struck at the city plan commission
for it's failure to approve an ordi-
nance council adopted to allow filling
stations at the south approach of the
Delaware st. bridge over Fall Creek.
An ordinance was introduced to
take from the plan commission the
power to change the classification of
business or residential districts and
confer that power exclusively on the
council.
Only the power of recommends
ton would remain for the plan body,
according to the measure. Then
councilmen received an ordinance
to rezone Forty-Sixth st. and Cen
trail Ave. from residential to bust
ness classification.
Councilmen have taken the stand
the Delaware st. ordinance was
passed legally inasmuch~as the meas
ure originated in council, thereby
rendering approval by the plan body
unnecessary.
