GAZETTE TO BOOST
STATE MAY 22-28
LOCAL PAPER TO CIRCULATE
SEVERAL THOUSAND ISSUES
OF LARGE PAPER BOOSTING
MINNESOTA.

The fame of Minnesota will be car
ried to all parts of the world the week
of May 22nd to 28th when Minnesota
newspaper men and women respond
ing to the call of Vim Weber of the

the advantages, possibilities and re-
sources of their state and community.
The Gazette in common with the
other papers belonging to. the Asso-
citation proposes to publish such an
edition on May 25th. The paper will
in all probability be twenty pages
or more in size and will contain in
teresting information on all matters
affecting the state and Redwood Coun-
ty.
1t is estimated that at least 250
papers of the state will issue booster
editions during the Greater Mime
sofa Week." The editors are not go
ing to the great expense and labor
of producing these editions for profit,
but more out of a spirit of loyalty
to their state. 1t is plan to "Sell
Minnesota to Minnesotans and the
World" just as California and Flori-
da have gained new enterprises and
inhabitants by advertising their re-
spective states.
In order to extend the publicity to
be given the state and county to the
farthermost limits, Gazette readers
are invited to purchase one or more
additional copies of the paper for the
week of May Goth and to send these
to relatives or friends in other states.
Place your orders now so that the
publisher will have some idea OF how
many extra copies to print. Single
copies will be sold at 5 cents each.

KIRK FORESEES
GOOD 1927 CROPS
STATE STATISTICIAN MAKES
. REPORT ON CONDITION OF
WINTER GRAINS; FINDS FARM
LABOR SLIGHTLY HIGHER.

With general farm conditions re-
ported in a favorable state and the
1927 grain crop outlook characteriz-
ed as "good," Paul H. Kirk, state ag-
ricultural statistician, in summary
report issued last week, called win
ter wheat and rye in a condition
ahead of production at this time last
year. Mr.. Kirk spent last Wednes-
day in Redwood Falls where he met
Redwood County assessors and dis
cussed the various items of the agri-
cultural census to be taken next
month.
He attributed this favorable condi-
tion to a heavy protection of snow,
with sufficient moisture to assure q
good stand. Winter wheat a year
ago was reported 81 per cent of nor
NAL, while this year it was reported
at 81 per cent. Rye this year is 80
per cent of normal, as compared with
81 per cent a year ago.
Sufficient sunlight so that the
farmer may begin his sowing of seed
is all that is necessary to bring about
a big crop of grains this year." Mr..
Kirk said. Practically impossible
roads, caused by heavy rainfalls,
have prevented the marketing of sur
plus small grains, Mr.. Kirk said.
Pasturage condition was reported
at SO per cent of normal, an increase
of 4 per cent over the report of last
year. The monthly farm wage, with
board, is $43.75. 1t was $43 year

new PRIZES FOR
FARM EXHIBITS
COUNTIES ASKED FOR DISPLAYS
ON AGRICULTURAL EXTEN-
SION WORK FOR NEXT STATE
FAIR.

Encouraging counties to make dis
plays of their agriculture extension
activities will be one of the major
projects in 1927 of the Minnesota
state fair and the Northwest Dairy
exposition, says an announcement by
the agricultural extension division Of
the Minnesota College of Agriculture.
"The state fair" the announcement
states, "is Offering attractive prem
iums for a new type of displays to
be known as county project exhibits.
The object of these exhibits will be
to present some particular line OF
educational activity carried on in the
county exhibiting.
The managers of the fair have
added this new classification among
county exhibits with the understand
ing that counties adopting this type
of exhibits will substitute it for the
regular county agricultural exhibits
which has been popular for so many
years. This requirement is necessary
in order to provide the space needed
for the new type of exhibit.
"The number will be limited to four
this year. These will be judged on
a score card basis and each exhibit
which makes minimum score ef 500
out of possible 1000 points will re-
ceive a minimum prize of $3.50.
Counties scoring first, second and
third will receive additional premium
money.
'It it believed that this new type
of exhibit will be popular with county
agents as a means of showing to the
world profitable projects and their
results.
"The university extension division
is calling on county agents to re-
port if they plan the substitution Of
such an exhibit for the ordinary agri-
cultural display"

MEETING APRIL IA.

Thirteen Masons from Redwood
Falls attended the Scottish Rite
Maundy- Thursday meeting held in the
beautiful new Masonic Temple at
Tracy on Thursday evening, April IA.
At 1880 p. m. the Eastern Star served
dinner at which there were seventy
people present. After the dinner
there were several addresses given
with DR.. Ross of Redwood Falls as
the principle speaker. Those attend
ing the meeting from Redwood Falls
were A. C. Burmeister, R. A. Cooper,
R. w. Serkland, o. S. lines, j. B. Phil

lift, C. M. Showalter, G. A. Barnes,
DIR. A. w. Ross, A. H. Haugen, G..
w. Gold, and A. D. McRae.
DR.. Ross confined his talk to the
teachings of the Scottish Rite. "When
/ think of the steps we have each
travelled along the road of the Scot
ish Rite until We reached the 32nd De-
gree Master of the Royal Secret" of
it's sublime teachings to crown our
journey, I am deeply stirred by the
responsibility and opportunity this ev-
ening as we reach the ceremony of
extinguishing the lights, to be re-
lighted on the glorious Easter and
Resurrection morning. That resur-
rection is the foundation basis of our
Christianity.

teaching Freemasonry cannot be too
constantly and carefully applied.

EASTER SERVICE
OF COMMANDERY
WELL ATTENDED
ANNUAL SERVICES OF KNIGHTS
TEMPLAR HELD AT PRESBY.
TERRAIN CHURCH SUNDAY AF-
TERNOON. DIR. ROSS TALKS.

The annual Easter service of the
Commandery held at the Presbyter-
ian church Sunday, April 18th, was
we'll attended with about thirty MEM
bers of the local commandery out.
DIR. A. w. Ross of the Presbyterian
church gave the address of the oc-
casion with special music by the choir
and solo by Lynn Sheldon. The
audience consisted largely of men,
bers of the Masonic Orders including
the Eastern Star. The Easter decora-
tions of the pulpit and the uniforms
of the Knights Templar made beau
tiful background for the impressive
service.
DIR. Ross chose his text from the
Book of Revelation, fifteenth chapter
and third verse. "And they sing the
song of Moses, the servant of God,
and the song of the Lamb" "When
we pass the narrow confines of the
room which represents to US some of
the features of King Solomon's tenn
pie, to that temple, Not made with
hands, eternal in the. heavens, what
song shall we sing? Our text is the
answer" said the speaker. "The song
of Moses and the song of the Lamb.
What was that song 1t was the song
of patriotism. Baron Bunson had said
that modern history began on that
memorable day. The song of the re-
deemed yonder is the song of every
Mason here. It is fact that many
of the worlds greatest patriots have
been Free Masons.
masonry is embodied optimism,
the incarnation of hope and good
WILL" said DIR. Ross. "Let US not
forget the place of her origin. She
springs from no battlefield on which
the war horses have tramped the
mangled forms of men into CORY sod.
She owes no allegiance to the Phar-
aohs, who built their tombs and used
human labor with the recklessness Of
savage monsters; to the Neroes, who,
to glut the taste of the populace for
blood, built amphitheaters wherein
gladiators might give thrust to
breast of brother; to the Napoleons
or Waylers, whose coat of arms should
be cross-bones, whose drinking cups
should be skulls and whose orchestras
should be the shrieks of their slain.
She knows them not, refuses to bow
the knee to such monstrosities and
leaves them to the retribution Of their
fate. No, she emerges from temple
which silently rose into glorious am.
plitude, was built of rarest wood,
finest stone and purest gold. My
brethern, we stand for the betterment
of the world"
In closing DR.. Ross added, $50 we
like the choir invisible, must sing
both stanzas of the song, The song
of Moses, the servant of God for that
is the song Of patriotism, law, proph-
ecy and immortality. We must sing
the Song of the Lamb for that is the
song of our personal redemption and
the worlds salvation"

TRUCK OWNERS GAIN
BY TWO new LAWS
CLASS tx" VEHICLES DEFINED
AND RATE IS REDUCED; RE-
CIPROCTTY ACT IS ADOPTED; (;
LAW TAKES EFFECT JAN. 1.

Two bills Of interest to automobile
owners, particularly truck owners,
have passed the Legislature. One Of
these defines "T", "X" and "Y" classi-
fications SO that the latter hereafter
will include only trucks and trailers
FUSED in the business of transport
ing goods from compensation as COM
mon carriers over any public high
ways in this state between fixed ter
mini or over a regular route" These
trucks will continue to pay tax OF
10 per cent of the base value.
Class "T' trucks will continue to
pay q tax of "a per cent of the base
value, but the law is amended so that
they may carry all farm products to
market and any necessary farm sup
plies on the return trip. The right
to do this was not clearly stated in
the old law.
An trucks not coming under the
"T" and "Y" Glasses will require x"
licenses, and the rate on these is re-
duced from to "a per cent. The new
law, however, does not take effect
until Jan. /, 1928.
This Law will end the confusion
which existed regarding *" and ~"
licenses but it will mean an annual
loss of income of q half million dol
lars to the State Highway depart
ment.

for vehicles in interstate traffic. I'm
