STATE VOTERS
TO DECIDE FATES
OF 3 AMENDMENTS
FORESTRY ADVOCATES START
ADVERTISING DRIVE SINCE
MEASURE GETS SECOND PLACE
ON BALLOT.

Forestry advocates started out last
week to advertise the reforestation
amendment to the state constitution
as Amendment No. 2" on the ballot
at the coming state election. AS this
amendment was the first one acted
on at the 1925 legislative session, its
friends had supposed that it would be
No. 1 on the amendment ballot, Nov.
2. That position gives an advantage
in attracting votes.
Just few days ago the forestry
friends woke up to the fact that they
had been outgeneralled. Another
amendment, increasing the state Su-
preme Court from five to seven JUS
tices, will be No. l on the ballot, be-
cause the act submitting it to the peo-
pie gives it that position.
1t has been customary to put amend
ments on the ballot in the order Of
action by the legislature. The refor-
estation amendment was approved on
February 25, 1925, while the Supreme
Court amendment did not reach final
action until April %. The bill for
submission Of the supreme court
amendment, however, carried a pro-
vision directing that it be placed first
on the ballot.
There will be three amendments to
the state constitution submitted Nov.
2. No. 1 increases the supreme court
membership. There are now the chief
justice, four associate justices and two
commissioners active in preparing the
decisions of the court. The commits
sioners are created by statute and are
elected by the court. The proposed
amendment would give them the
status of associate Justices, and make
them elective by the people. They
would have vote in decisions of the
court.
No. 2 is the reforestation amend
ment. It aims to encourage private
holding of timber lands, allowing the
to provide for q special
classification. Lands devoted to grow
ing timber would BE so classified and
only the land assessed for taxation.

STATE AUDITOR
URGES PARKS
AS TRIBUTES
RAYP. CHASE SPEAKS TO LARGE
CROWD AT FORT RIDGELY
CELEBRATION ON FRIDAY OF
LAST WEEK.

A state park policy that will pre-
serve historic spots for future gener-
ations is the greatest tribute Mime
sofa may pay it's pioneers, Ray P
Chase, state. auditor and park GUS
todian, told the large crowd gathered
at the annual Fort Ridgely celebration
last week.
Viewing remains of old fort build
ings that repulsed Indian attacks dur
ing a nine-day siege, tramping over
hillsides that furnished ambush for
stealthy redskins, and hating at the
national cemetery containing graves
of troopers who died in battle, visitors
from many parts of Minnesota paid
homage to those who repulsed the
Sioux attacks Ga years ago and paved
the way for retention of the Minnesota
valley by the white man.
The celebration is sponsored annual
ly by the Fort Ridgely State Park and
Historical Trail Association. Special
train service brought hundreds, to
hear Mr.. Chase, old defenders and pi-
oneers relate their experiences and to
listen to music furnished by the Citi-
zens Band of Fairfax and musicians
from other neghboring towns.
eff we are to have park and monu-
ment sites like Fort Ridgely, a grate-
full state should choose and set aside
these spots with greater care and pre-
serve them always as near perfection
as possible, as monuments to the fact
that Minnesota appreciates the sacri-
fices Of her pioneers and that the peo-
pie of the commonwealth do not for

The speaker eulogized the defend
ers of Fort Ridgely, New Ulm and the
Minnesota valley points who saved
Minnesota when the Sioux were mas

acing its future life.

WINSELL DOES
COMEBACK WITH
5 TO @ VICTORY
LOCAL, HURLER WHIFFS EIGHT
MEN AND ALLOWS BUT TWO
HITS IN SENSATIONAL
COMEBACK.
REDWOOD FALLS PLAYS
WANDA NEXT SUNDAY
WITH WANDA WILL BE
PLAY AT MORGAN SUNDAY,
AUGUST 30. BOTH TEAMS
CLAIM VICTORY.

To still be in the running for the
second half B-W-R Tri-County League
pennant is one thing worthy Of men
ton. To defeat Wanda next Sunday
for a double tie for first place with
Comfrey is the one thing that the
prophets and fans are talking. about
at present. In getting over Butter
field Redwood Falls paved way for
the league championship and it is
not at all likely that Aune's men will
be eliminated next Sunday for in de-
feating Butterfield the locals not only
showed that they can play classy ball
but Winsell, the star pitcher OF many
games this season, made a graceful
comeback after being forced out of
play the last few games with sore
arm. "Chuck" very willingly demon
strated that he was as good as ever.
With using practically nothing except
his speed ball the local hurler allow
ed but two hits, struck out eight men
and gathered a shutout SO in the
seven frames he threw.
At the end of the seventh the man.
agement withdrew Winsell in favor
or Drost, not that Winsell was not
going good but Wanda does not have
a bit of love for the brand of throwing
"Chuck" issued July 5th and therefore
after having the game on ice Win
sell was drawn. Drost will be re-
membered by the fans for throwing
for Fairfax against Wanda in game
last season played at the Redwood
County Fair Grounds.
In the first frame the locals came
through with two runs and two hits.
Reynolds up, popped out. Goodthun-
der flied out to catcher. johnson
beats out an in field hit, goes to Sec
ond on pitchers error. Phillips walks.
P. Winsell sends out double scoring
Johnson and Phillips. Luscher pops
out to first. With Reeds single
counting for a run from Reynolds
double, the second frame gave two
hits and run. Again in the fifth it
was Reynolds who came through with
the only hit and run. He poled out a
triple ana scored on IOOUCHuHueT
poke to second. In the eighth inning
Goodthunder started things with
a double and stole third. john
son flies out. Phillips singles
scoring Goodthunder which ended the
run gathering for the locals. 1t was
a brilliant game for the Legionnaires
to win, committing but one error it
was without a doubt the best game
for the home boys of this season.
Morgan was chosen for the post
poned Wanda Redwood Falls game
for Sunday, August 29th. This game
is bound to be the most unusual game
of the season due to the little differ
ences between the two teams. Red
wood Falls defeated Lamberton and
gathered ten hits off from Holmgren.
Holmgren allowed Wanda but two or
three hits. Berry set Lamberton down
with no hits but lost the game. Red
wood Falls gathred five hits off from
Berry July 5th, while Wanda took four
off from Winsell that day. Pick your
winner next Sunday.

One HUNDRED
DISCUSS PROBLEM
OF BUYING STOCK
COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO FUR
THEIR INVESTIGATE PLAN
TALKED AT FRIDAY MEET OF
STOCK MEN.

One hundred feeders from Brown,
Renville and Redwood Counties met
here last Friday afternoon to consid-
er the question of the buying of cat
tie for feeding purposes. The plan as
outlined in preliminary meetings by
groups, is to have these cat
tie bought in numbers and shipped dir
ect from the western ranges to the
feeders of Minnesota.
Lynn Sheldon was made chairman
of the meeting which took place In
the Commercial Club rooms and VIM.
M. Smith was made temporary secre-
tary. Short talks on the subject OF
buying and feeding cattle were given
by A. j. Olson, vice president of the
State Farm Bureau, D. L. Crimmins
of Redwood Falls, DR.. R. McCorquo-
dale of Delhi, VIM. Green of Morgan,
A. M. Anderson of Belview, Senator
L. E. Potter of Springfield, c. H.
Frederiksen of Morgan, A. j. Birum-
dbl of Belview, F. ]. Sheffield of
Springfield, L.. o. Bunge of Redwood
Falls, VIM. Allan Of Gilfillan, Mr..
Mehlhouse Of Olivia, Mr.. Coulter OF
Lamberton and Jos. Tyson of Redwood
Falls. These men led the discussion
on the proposed plan.
AS committee to carry forward
the investigation of this plan of buy
ing, D. L. Crimmins, F. ]. Sheffield,
D. R. McCorquodale, C. H. Freder-
iksen, John Kohler and L. o. Bunge
were appointed. These men, all d
whom are experienced feeders and ex-
cellent judges of all types of cattle
will investigate the matter thoroughly
looking upon the plan from all angles
of it's practicability for this section
One of the arguments in favor of such
a plan is that animals thus purchased
come to the farmer free from disease,
which is not always assured of those
bought through the regular commits
sion channels. However, the plan has
at least one drawback, in that feeders
are prone to want to select their own
stock. 1t is possible that compro-
mise plan will be made whereby the
investigation committee will locate
the herds best suited to purchase and
the farmers may then visit these herds
and select their own stock.

P. 0. WORKERS
HAVE PENSION
FUND INCREASED
MAXIMUM ANNUAL AMOUNT AL
LOWED HAS BEEN RAISED
FROM $720 TO $1,000 BY CON-
GRESS.

In accordance with law passed by
the last congress, the maximum pen
sion allowed employees in the post
office service throughout the United
States has been increased from $72O
to 81 900 per year. The amount var
les, according to length of employ
ment. Assistant postmasters, post
office clerks, city and rural mail car
riers, and janitors, of postoffice build
ings are included in the list of en-
ployes coming under the new arrange
ment.
The rate, which the employees sub
ject to the pension increase are OBJ
liged to pay toward the pension fund,
has been increased from 2k to 3h
per cent of their annual salaries, in
order to make the raise In the pen
sion amount possible. Thus the EN-
ployes themselves are paying for the
pension raise by means Of the in
creased assessment rate. The pay
ment of the pension fund assessment
is mandatory upon all of the post
office employees coming under the pro-
vision.
Assistant postmasters are eligible
to retire from active work and re-
ceive a pension upon reaching the
age of 20 years, and having been in
the service for 25 years or longer.
Postoffice clerks, city and rural mail
carriers, and janitors of postoffica
buildings must retire at the age of
65 years, but may be retained for a
period of two more years, provided
the local postmaster deems such con-
tinuance profitable for the service.

The Middle-Aged Figure.

Surplus flesh creeps over the body
insdiously and SO slowly that 1t IS al
most impossible to tell that the Slen-
der lines which mean youth have gone
until you suddenly awake to the fact
that YOU have a middle-aged figure.
Clothes are so loose fitting nowadays
that a dress may be worn three sea-
sons and still seem right. though dur
ing this time you may have gained 20
pounds, and all the lines of your fig
ure changed and aged in consequence.
Few women wear corSetS nowadays,
and those that do wear elastic glrdles,
which give so easily to the figure that
the waist may spread several inches
without the woman being aware of it.
Watch your figure and If YOU are
getting stout take measures to stop it
at once Take the measurements of
the bust, waist, hips, upper arm gust
at the armpit) and the calf of the leg.
Remember them, jot them down II you
are apt to forget, and If you are not
already as slender as you want to be,
begin reducing at once. If you think
you are getting fat measure yourself
from time to time and never allow
those measurements to increase even
O. quarter of an inch.
AS to the means of reduction, you
must decide that for yourself. You
ran go about it scientifically. making
n. careful study of the caloric values
of foods, limiting yourself to certain
plumber of calories every day. This Is
an excellent way and is absolutely
sure once you have found the number
of calories which you can allow your

OF course, Johnny didn't understand
this. He only had room for just one
thought at that moment and that was
that he was free. He didn't even stop
to wonder where he was. 1t wasn't
until he had run along a little path
Johnny even looked around. 1t was
then that he made q shocking discov-

scared him almost as much as the

funny feeling to be somewhere where
you are a total stranger. Johnny sat
up and looked this way and looked
that way and looked the other way.

about him were bushes. Never had

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. F. w. l.. writes: MY baby is
Is months old and weighs 80 pounds.
He seems to be in the best of spirits
during the day, but for the last week
and one-half wher put to bed in a
Haired, dark room he has suddenly
developed the habit of waking up
after about five hours sleep and
standing up and crying. For the first
few nights / went to him, thinking
there was something wrong. but he
would cling TO me until 1 took him UP
and then would talk and laugh. When
put him down he started crying
again. After three nights of this de-
cided to let him alone. 1 have been
letting him cry 1t out for five sue
cessive nights and after about an
hour or so he falls asleep. ! live in a
double fiat and / am afraid of dis
turbing others. j thought he would
soon stop. but he seems to be keeping
1t up. My baby does not walk alone
but can walk If he has support. He
is taken out for an airing daily and
liver oil, fruit. vegetables and cereal,
and twice q week a. soft.boiled egg"
Answer.
The baby is a really tremendous
weight for his age, weighing more
than the average two-year-olds, SO
| that he must be getting more food in
quantity than he really needs. He 10
getting exactly the right things.
though 1t is sometimes possible to
eliminate some of the milk used as a
beverage and use IL in the cooking
of his food. This forces the use of
more solid food.
Unless his night meal is making him
so uncomfortable that he wakens be-
cause of 1t, there seems no real reason
| for this sudden lack of ability to sleep
through the night. 1t is possible that
| he is getting teeth, and this would &C.
count for a temporary wakefulness.
Also you may unconsciously be play
| ing with the baby too hard the last
| hour or so before he Is put to bed.
| He would then go to sleep at first, but
the excited nerves would make him
wake up later and stay awake and be
restless. If you, or the proud father.
are taking the last hour Of the baby s
day as a time to rornp with him, this
| would cause the response you are get
| ting.
Give him an air bath before his bed
time and rub him with olive oil,
| stroking the spine gently and sooth-
ingly. Don't play with him. and don't
give too much food at his meal. Two
or three tablespoons Of cereal and the
bottle of milk are sufficient.
