COUNTY COMMISSIONER LAID
TO REST AT MORGAN FOL-
LOWING SUDDEN DEATH. SUR
VIVED BY WIFE AND FAMILY.

Following the death of Commis-
sioner Jens Schou of Morgan on
Wednesday, September %, of which
the Gazette carried a notice in last
weeks issue the funeral was held
Saturday afternoon, October 1st at
LOO p. m., at the home Of the de-
ceased followed by service at the
Danish Lutheran church. The last
rites were conducted by Rev. Sher-
man Bondo. 1t is estimated that ap-
proximately 500 people attended the
services.
Jens Christensen Schou was born in
Denmark, May 30th, 1868 making
him SO years old last May. In
March 1894 Mr.. Schou was united In
marriage with Severine Sorensen and
to this union eleven children were
born.
The deceased immigrated from
Denmark at middle age. He and his
family arrived in this country IN
October 1911 and located at Water
loo, Nebraska. In February 1916 Mr..
Schou moved to Redwood County,
taking farm near Gilfillan, four
years later he moved onto his own

Of the eleven children born two
girls and a boy died in Denmark. The
deceased is survived by the children,
Niels, Martha Mrs. John Hansen)

vived by his brother Morris of Nor
gan and three sisters living in Dem
mark.
Mr.. Schou was a successful man IN
many ways and that success was his

eral on all public questions such as
the affairs of his township and coun-
ty. The Gazette joins with others in
doing reverence to his memory.

PUBLICAN WOMEN'S CLUB OF
ST. PAUL MONDAY. DENIES
POLITICS is DIRTY

Wives and mothers are letting tkcsr
husbands income dribble through
their fingers without knowledge OF
what brings in return values.
They spend their time instead of in
vesting it.
When they admit they haven't time
for activities outside of the home, 1t
is because of three things: Lack OF
interest, bad management of time or
sheer laziness.
Mrs. Bess NJ. Wilson of Redwood
Falls, a member of the Board of Re-
gents of the University of Minnesota,
a club leader and businesswoman, en-
umerated these feminine weakness
es, in an address at the st. Paul Y.
M. C. A. Monday.
More than 200 women, among them
state officials, the wife of the Gov
ernor, heads of institutions, business
and professional women and house
wives, attending the first meeting of
the Republican Women's Club of St
Paul, listened intensely, but not al
ways calmly, applauding freely.
Mrs. Wilson's address centered
around women in public life and how
far women have progressed since the
time of Paul, who bade them to
''learn in silence with all subjection.' y
She told of this progress, but emu
merated also the weaknesses, disclos-
ed by it, declaring that women have
not become more business-like and
are at fault for not being sufficiently
interested in politics"
That she is not interested in poll
tics because politics is too dirty" was
said by the speaker to be woman's
great excuse 'for not doing her duty
in the affairs of city, county, state
and nation.
Politics, in the true sense, which
is the science of government, is not
too dirty for women to work in," she
declared. "The lack of interest is ap-
palling. By it women confess that
they are not interested in schools or

The minutes of the last meeting were

Various committee heads reported
on the activities of their committees.
H. w. Ward, chairman of the band
committee, gave report on what the
committe had been doing in the way
of securing funds for the upkeep of
a band for the city and schools. At
the last state legislature a law was
made whereby city of a certain class
under which Redwood Falls comes
has authority to levy up to mill
tax for band purposes provided that
10 per cent of the voters of the last
general election petition the ques-
tion to be placed on ballot at the
next general election for vote.
A mill tax, if all collected would
amount to approximately $24OO.OO'

school seems willing to consider the
matter. The general feeling through
out the community seems to be that
band is necessary.
A motion was made and carried
that the Redwood Falls Commercial
Club would go on record as being in
favor of l mill tax to be levied for
band purposes.
C. A. Lauterbach who was in
charge of the welcome banner sales
reported that all but two members
who have the flag stats purchased
the welcome penants. There were
over seventy banners sold; these
were displayed each day during the

TILT IN FIRST GAME OF SEA-
SON. FAST WINDOW AGGRE-
CATION HERE OCTOBER 8.

Coach Slower and. his defeated New
Ulm white hopes" left Redwood
Falls Saturday afternoon in state
of dismal gloom after taking the
short end of IL to 0 count against
the Redwood Falls high school foot
ball team in the first game of the sea-
son. The game was played at the
Redwood County Fair Grounds field.
One pleasing and outstanding fea-
ture of the game was the manner in
which the inexperienced local line
held against the plunges of the New
Ulm tribe. The first line defense
held strong and repeatedly forced the
visitors to punt when they resorted
to straight football.
The first count for the locals came
in the first period; New Ulm had the
ball on their 20 yard line and after
trying three plays for comparatively
no gain, resorted to punt. The punt
failed, the ball was fumbled and Pet
erson, local center broke through to
recover the tumble and hurled HIM
self over the line for count. Try
for point after touchdown failed.
In the third quarter, Finn, local
quarter, started on his own 80 yard
line, carefully following his almost
perfect interference and picking his
way was brought down on the visit
ors 20 yard line for a so yard run
Two complete passes Finn to Cor
bett, netted the locals their second
count. The point after touchdown
failed in this trial.
In the last quarter several sub
stitutes were sent in by Coach Stock
ton to relieve the warriors and from
this the visitors came close to being
able to count. The final whistle
