NUAL ELECTION; CONTESTS
ON IN THREE OFFICES; BRAN
MER AND ORTIZ RETIRE,

The annual election for the NUM-
cipality of Redwood Falls will be held
Tuesday, January 4th. Filing closed
Monday. While there is no issue be-
fore the voters at this election the
fact that there are contestants for
three of the offices injects little in
terest into an otherwise colorless pro-
ceedure.
H. M. Aune, the present mayor is
opposed by A. j. White who also ran
against Mr.. Aune in the 1926 cleo
tion. Mr.. Aune's record as mayor
has been a satisfactory one and his
reelection is prophesied by the man
on the street corner-and in the post
office lobby! Both he and Mr.. White

HIGH DEFEATS OLD
RIVALS ON OWN FLOOR FOR
FIRST TIME IN YEARS; NOR
TON HERE JAN. 5TH. - ,

Playing an unusually good passing
game, Coach Stockton's high school
basket ball team defeated the fast
Sleepy Eye quint by an 18 to II
count for Redwood's second win OF
the season. The game was played
at Sleepy Eye Thursday night, Dec
emter 10Th. In winning this game
at Sleepy Eye Stockton's warriors ac-
complished something that has not
been done by Redwood Falls basket
ball team in years, that is, to win
from Sleepy Eye upon their own floor.
By placing Theiring at guard with
Laidlaw, moving "Lally Schmid to
forward to work with Peterson and
with Worsech at center, Stockton had
the ideal combination to work against
Sleepy Eyes big team. Worsech and
Peterson divided honors as scorers,
Worsech getting three field goals and
Peterson two field goals and two free
throws. Schmid gathered two field
goals while Theiring accounted for
two points with field goal

FRANK SHEFFIELD
sure KNOWS HOW
To FEED CALVES
COUNTY AGENT TELLS HOW
REDWOOD COUNTY FARMER
ATTAINED GLORY AND GAIN
THROUGH BABY BEEF.
(By Lynn Sheldon)

Some of our readers may not have
read or heard of the results of the
Minnesota Carload Baby Beef Con
test which closed last August. Mr.
F. J. Sheffield of Springfield, was
the leading contestant in Redwood
County and fed the 4th prize load of
Is calves III the state and End prize
Hereford load. Mr.. Sheffield has
been one of the good beef cattle men
Iof the county. Up until the last four
years he was prominent breeder
of Hereford cattle but during the de-
preston turned his efforts to produc-
ing beef from his fine herd. 1t paid.
During the 450 days from date of
birth that his Is calves were checked
for gain only they reached the aver
age weight of 1852 pounds. The
cow herd ran on blue grass pasture
during the summer they were carry
ing the calves, pastured the waste
roughage during the fall and were
wintered on oat straw, and corn fod-
der fed outside and one feed of sill
age day which we increased in
March to twice a day with some wild
hay and went into pasture with a
fine crop Of calves in good condition.
The calves were not dehorned. They
had water before them all the time,
protected from frost during the win
ter. Block salt was used until the lat
ter part of period when barrel salt
was fed.
The calves had access to a straw
pile and one side of frame cattle and
hay barn where the hay and silage
was fed and moderate sized lot where
the grain hunks and one hayrack were
all of which had protection
from windbreak.
Rations Fed
The calves were weaned on Octob-
er 28th and Immediately started on
feed. They were fed twice day
throughout the feeding period. UpI
to January 1st, the ration consisted
of three part by weight of whole oats
and one part of whole ear corn. Dur
ing this period they consumed around
ten pounds of grain per calf daily
along with what alfalfa hay they
The calves took to the whole |
ear corn from the start, sheiling it /
off the cob much like horses or hogs
would do.
From January list to March 1st, |
The ration was made up of one-half |
oy weight, whole oats and one-half |
whole ear corn, with moderate feed

The average daily consumption per
.alf during this period was around 13 t
pounds of grain, 5 pounds of silage

1t will be observed that up to this
stage of the fattening process, home
grown feeds only were used, and these
we're fed in natural unprepared con-
ear corn, whole oats

Mr.. Sheffield is firm believer in
lsing a variety Of feeds during the
finishing period. Consequently the
atom was changed considerably
Iround the first of March. At this

CHRISTMAS CHEER MAY BE SCARCE
That Is, ''Cheer" Of Bottled
 Variety

Washington, Dec. 15.--LP}- I'm ported liquors for Christmas will be scarce. if Lincoln c. Andrews, com mander in chief of the governments s prohibition forces, has been correct ly informed. and furthermore, if he has his way, under cover" enforce mont agents will retain the safe guards to secrecy recently denied by the house.
 After q canvass of his sources of information. he has concluded that the smugglers aren't doing much tc cheer up the bootleggers and their clients, and that the icy blasts which are sweeping out from the north eastern shoreline are chilling the blood only of innocent seafarers, for no trace of historic rum row. is reported there.
 Meanwhile, the senate appropri- ations committee has gladdened the heart of the enforcement chief by casing one of his most pressing ap- prehensions. It has reinserted in the treasury post office supply bill, q provision to appropriate S500,00C for the activities of the prohibition units under cover" men, which was eliminated in the house on a point of order because it carries per mission for expenditure of the fund without advance accounting.
 Opponents of the under cover" provision in the house contended that the method of spend the money it would authorize was contrary to law, but General Andrews has argued that it was a necessary part of the enforcement efforts. To cut off the appropriation, which com pares with s250,00O granted for the purpose last year. he said. would handicap his organization greatly just when it's progress is becoming most promising.
 He also has advanced a new argu- ment for enactment of his proposal 10 permit resumption of whiskey manufacture on a limited scale un- der government supervision to re- plenish vanishing supplies. It would save money for the government he holds: s11.O00,000 year by central izing distilling operations and stor- age of existing supplies in one corp oration. and s4.0oO,OO0 by permit ting the bottling of whiskey now stored in wood and rapidly evapor- ating. Evaporated whiskey, he. ex- plained. can't be taxed.

Moreover, we venture to express the
wish that they read both sides,
especially of the controversy con-

both sides, also read between the

In that way and that way alone we

They Are Fighting
Mad in Aroostook
Big Vote Probable

Houlton, Nov. 97.-Aroostook county
is lighting mad,
Never have old-time politicians of
many fight of days gone by, when
campaigns were fought with fair play
and May the best man win" as their
slogan, come to the front like the old
Republicans. who since early morn to-
day have taken their coats off to
arouse the people in voting for their
candidate, Arthur r.. Gould, for the
United States Senate.
Democrats, too, have added their
strength in the battle to elect Gould.
Scores of adherents of the party have
come to the front to offer their as
sistance.
Aroostook will cast the largest vote
in its history, 1t is stated by one close
to the situation. and it is added that
80 per cent. of these votes will be for
Gould. The county Is so well organ
lied that even a fall of several feet of
snow will not keep the voters away
from the polls.
Khan members in the county, said
to be a much overestimated power, are
said to be actively engaged in oppos-
ing the Republican candidate.
Indications now point that the
weather on Monday will be fair, with
the roads frozen so that automobiles
can be used.
