All ex-service men, please take pot
ice, there seems to be a general mis-
understanding in regard to Adjusted
Compensation. Adjusted Compensa-
ton is a paid-up insurance policy de-
pending upon the amount of time a
man served in the World War and
where he served. One dollar day
is allowed for home service, and S1.25
for oversee service. Up to the pres
ent time about fifty claims have been
made, and if any of the ex-service
men do not understand this, kindly
call on the Commander or Adjutant of
our Legion Post and we will be glad
to help you in this matter. Remem-
Der July 2, 1926, is positively the last

1t must be highly gratifying to the
owners of a successful business to
celebrate with their patrons and
friends the Twentieth Anniversary f
their opening day.
Not only is the celebration itself a
pleasure-but for those who have i'm
proved, built and established bust
ness, we say again, it must be a
pleasure to commemorate the day with
festivities and merrymaking.
That is one Of the joys of being il

to share the joys of this happy event
with Mike and Joe. They came all
day and the Lauterbachs report a
great event.
Judging by the appearance of their
store one wonders whether or not q
celebration is in progress most every
day-that is a real business celebra-
ton that makes the cash register ring.
Only casual glance at the accom-
panying picture would give one an
impression of cleanliness, good SER
vice, roominess and modern methods.
But they have come up from the
ranks. The brothers bought out the
Knowlton Brothers confectionery
twenty years ago last January. At
that time they had small place and
got along as best they could with linn
tied equipment. But, with the Lau-
terbach kind of service things pick up
quickly. There is no town so small,
nor so big, that it does not acknow-
ledge good service in any line of bust
ness. And so it was in Redwood
Falls. The business of Mike and Joe
simply outgrew their quarters and in
1912 they moved to larger building
and added new fixtures.
Of course, they were not satisfied
even then. The fellow who has set
goal for himself is never satisfied I'M

radius of 100 miles all around Red

has nationwide advertising. Volumes
of circulars are received by the Lee

in 1919 a still larger building was fit
ted up with modern fixtures, new
fountain, better equipment, and with
it all better confectionery service for
Redwood Falls and environs.
The store as you see it in the pic
ture is regarded as one of the leaders
in Minnesota. 1t is said that over a
hundred people can be served at one
time and the business is still growing.
This year they added mechanically

further add to their service and prop

They also make their own candies.
which were literally sampled on their
gala day and opening anniversary.
There were flowers for the ladies,
cigars for the men and surprises"
for the kiddies.
Beginning at two o'clock in the af-
ternoon and continuing until eleven
at night there was music by Pearson's
Peerless Players orchestra. There
were no dull moments throughout the
day. Everyone was out to enjoy the
festivities and Mike and Joe were the
hosts.
We do not know what the receipts
were on this particular Saturday, but
will wager that the Saturday sales for
this year are greater than they were
a year ago, and also that they'll keep
growing.
1t will be noticed that the chairs at
Mike and Joe's are particularly invit-
ing. Cleanliness is always inviting
and more so in a place Of this kind
They also sell cut flowers and pot
ted plants, line which goes well with
the confectionery business, and their
sales on monographs and records are
of no small consequence.
1t is also noted that well appear
ing menu has been placed on each
table. These afford every customer
an opportunity, not only to read some
thing while seated, but to see at a
glance what is offered by the store.
Mike and Joe's place has risen to
its present high plane after years Of
sticking to the rules that always make
for success.-Candy and Soda Profits.

STATE Will FIGHT
GRAIN SHIPMENT
CONTROL BY u. S.
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
RULING SAYS MOST HAULS
ARE INTERSTATE AND POWER
LIES WITH Federal. GOVT.

Minnesota's legal machinery and
other state departments involved, to-
gether with the grain trade, Thurs
day were laying the groundwork to
challenge ruling of the federal de-
partment of agriculture that practi-
cally all grain shipments in Minnesota
are interstate and that, therefore, fin
al jurisdiction rests with the federal
government.
The ruling removes from the state
final control of grain in socalled in
trastate movement.
The ruling was given the grain
trade in Minneapolis from the office
of R. C. Miller, federal grain super
visor in Minneapolis, as interpreted
tive of the policy of the federal de-
partment of agriculture.
Grain shippers and buyers in the
Minneapolis and Duluth terminal mar
kets regard the ruling as far-reaching
in it's effect and, in it's application,
they foresee a probability that term
inal elevators would be placed under
the national warehouse act. This
act, with its many warehousing regu-
lations applying to cotton, liquor and
other products, would place so many
handicaps on the terminal elevator
operations that they might be forced
to operate private instead of public
elevators, some of the grain men
said
These were developments Thurs
day:
Representative of terminal ele-
vator companies met late Wednesday
in Minneapolis to discuss the ruling
and they decided that, since the whole
question is before the legal depart
ment of the state, they would take
no formal action, although they in
formally indicated their opposition to
the federal position.
Clifford l.. Hilton, Minnesota at
torney general, said the new ruling
had been discussed tentatively in his
office and that he was prepared to
make a vigorous fight to retain state
rights as against federal invasion.
o. P. B. Jacobson, member of the
railroad and warehouse commission
in charge of the grain division, said
that the state would fight to preserve
its powers defined in the state grain
standards act.
w. B. Mclean, secretary of the Min
nesota board of grain appeals, said his
board would place the issue before
the legal department formally at a
meeting next week, in which the Du-
luth and Minneapolis boards, the
grain interests and the state commits
sion would be represented in prepara-
ton for fight to resist the new fed
eral ruling.
"We are not going to admit the fed
eral ruling is correct until the courts
reverse themselves" Mr.. MacLean
said. "The state now has final jur
isdiction Of grain in interstate move
ment and we propose to retain it,

ANNUAL REPORT ON THE RED
WOOD COW TESTING ASSN

WOOD COW TESTING ASSN
! The second test year of the Red.
wood Falls C. T. A. has been complet-
ed with May 81, 1926. Eighteen herds
were on test full year. These herds
have total Of 270 cows, which pro-
duced on an average of S194 pounds
of milk, 3119 pounds of fat at an av-
erage feed cost of $57.81.

In comparing figures on herds test
ed in both years, 1925 and 1926, an in
crease of 26-1 lbs. of fat was found.
At this rate of increase and the pres
ent prices of butterfat, it is easy to
see the value of COW testing work.
This increase was made possible by
care and more economical
feeding with better equipment

duced 500 lbs. of fat AMI grade cows
