CIVIC CLUB HOLDS
IMPORTANT MEET
THE MATTER OF PUBLICITY ON
THE CROP SITUATION BY
DAILY PAPERS HOLDS INTER.
EST AT REGULAR MEETING.

On Monday, August 1, the Redwood
Falls Commercial Club held it's regu-
lar monthly meeting which was at
tended by approximately fifteen
members. Problems of vital inter-
est to Redwood Falls and community
were discussed. The Board of Dir
ectors meeting with President Frey
er, DR.. Lynn, F. G. Hubbard, VIM. M.
Smith, E. Z. Spencer and DR.. A. As
Lesson present was followed by the
regular club meeting.
The Railroad and Transportation
committee reported that so business
men of Redwood Falls attended the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
hearing held at Sleepy Eye and that
the Redwood Falls aggregation were
instrumental in having the meeting
adjourned hnd held in Redwood Falls.
A brief of the facts was filed with the
Warehouse Commission but at this
date no action has been taken by the
commission.
One of the important matters dis
cussed at the meeting was that con-
cerning the agricultural conditions in
western Minnesota. Several of the
Twin City daily papers have been CIV
en- to bumper crop conditions that are
said to exist in western Minnesota
According to the decision of the club
the crop situation in Minnesota has
been exaggerated through the COL
umns of the daily papers. A letter
from the Mankato Commercial Club
was received by the local club asking
that the Redwood Falls civic organ
ization lend it's support by letters to
all of the Twin City papers protest
ing the publicity given to the bumper
crop as such publicity is misleading
and detrimental to grain prices. A
motion was duly carried that the Sec
retary write to all city papers and en-
ter a protest against such publicity.
The letter written by the secretary
of the local civic club was not mailed
with the intention of debating to the
city papers but was written with a
desire to be of service, not only to
the farmers but to the business men
as we'll, and to give correct informa-
tion on the crop outlook.

R. SERKLAND BUYS
MAYTAG FRANCHISE
NEW FIRM TO BE OPENED FOR
BUSINESS ABOUT AUGUST Is.
WILL HAVE HEADQUARTERS
IN BURMEISTER BUILDING.

R. w. Serkland of Redwood Falls,
formerly with Stensvad's Chevrolet
Company, recently purchased the
Maytag Washing Machine franchise
from the Sebo Implement Co., and will
begin sales operations here about
August 18th. Mr.. Serkland last week
returned from trip to the Maytag
Company's factory at Newton, Iowa,
where the contract on territory and
all details on the new franchise were
discussed.
The new Maytag store will be in
the Burmeister building on Second
Street, the first door west of the Red
wood Falls Light and Power Com
pany office. The building is being re-
modelled byFMr. Burmeister to fit the
needs of the new firm and will be
opened for business August 18th. Mr..
Serkland has ordered a carload of
Maytag washers to be delivered about
the first of September; in the mean
time the sales force will sell the stock
purchased from the Sebo Implement
Company.
The territory of the new firm con-
sists of portions of Redwood and Rem
vile counties. In Renville county Mr..
Serkland will have the towns of Fair
fax, Franklin, Morton, Olivia, Danube
and Renville, while in Redwood Coun-
ty the territory will be all of the
northern part of the county includ-
ing Wanda, Wabasso, Morgan, Glenn
ents, Seaforth, Belview, Delhi, North
Redwood and Redwood Falls. The
sales force that has been selected by
Mr.. Serkland includes Frank Bald
win, Floyd Reynolds and c. M. Han
son, all of Redwood Falls.
During Mr.. Serkland's residence in
Redwood Falls and his affiliation with
the Stensvad Garage he has proved
himself man of sound business prin-
ciples and also of much ability. Un-
der his management the Maytag
agency should prove a big asset to
Redwood Falls and this vicinity. He
will give it his undivided attention
rather than conducting it as a side
line as Mr.. Sebo has been forced to
do because of his other business in
terests.

BUILD FOR SAFETY
URGES FIRE CHIEF
FIRE CHIEF CORBETT REVIEWS
MEASURES TAKEN BY THE IN
TERNATIONAL ASSN. OF FIRE
CHIEFS TO COMBAT FIRE LOSS.

In reviewing measures now being
taken by the International Associa.
ton of Fire Chiefs to combat the ap-
palling loss of life and property by
fire in the United States, Fire Chief
Joe Corbett points out that one o1
the most effective ways to reduce the
fire danger is to give such buildings
as we erect the highest degree of in
combustibility.
"It would be impracticable, OF
course, to build an all-fireproof struc-
ture," Chief Corbett continued. "In a
residence of this nature the beds
would have to be steel or concrete
slabs and furniture would have to be
of a similar material. There could
be no draperies, rugs, linen and cloth
ing. But it never is impracticable to
construct building as fire-safe as is
compatible with comfort"
"Take the average wood frame
house as an example. When the wood
frame is covered with a sheathing OF
wood, and this in turn is covered with
wood siding; and when the lath under
the plaster and the shingles on the
roof are of wood, you have a highly
combustible, conflagration-breedins
type of construction-one that would
put surrounding structures in jeo-
pardy if fire should break out, par
ticularly if there were high wind
blowing. For a high wind would
carry burning embers to adjoining
roofs and scatter sparks far and
wide.
"But it is probably long way of
before wood frame houses will be al
together abandoned, particularly
since the development of modern
building materials has resulted in a
protected type of wood construction
that retains all the good features OF
the atwood house.
"In building such fire-protected
wood house the wood frame is erect
ed in the regular manner. But in
stead of q sheathing of wood being

SHELDON SAYS
BUMPER CROPS ARE
OVER ESTIMATED
co. AGENT SHELDON GIVES
TRUE REPORTS REGARDING
THE CROPS OF THIS
SECTION.
DAILY PRESS NOTIFIED
TWIN CITY PAPERS CARRY CROP
REPORTS THAT HAVE BEEN
GROSSLY EXAGGER-
ATED.

Much comment has been Justly Civ
en- to the over estimated crop reports
being observed in. the daily papers
and other journals on crop predictions
has been made of late, due to the fact
that crops in this section of the state
are falling far short of all indications
of three to four weeks ago. The only
crops thus far that have proven to be
good are rye and barley, of which
only comparatively small acreage
to the total area of small grain is
grown.
Oats, which is the heaviest grain
crop by acreage in this section of the
state, has probably been fairly esti-
mated at 25 per cent of the normal
crop. There may be few isolated
fields that will approach somewhere
near normal but they will be very
few. This extreme slump in oat
harvest has been caused by red rust.
Spring wheat is also proving to be a
disappointment due to quite general
an effect of red rust and black rust
in some communities.
While the corn crop looks good, it
must be taken into account that 1T Is
appearing today as it should have
been two or three weeks ago. The
present weather conditions are any
thing but optimistic so far as the corn
crop is concerned due to the large
acreage of late planted corn and the
late condition of all corn. Very few
fields of corn approach normal corn
conditions for this time of the year.
The majority of the corn is late.
The indications for good flax
crop is fair to date but positive as
surance of a good crop is not in sight.
The country is blessed with a good
hay and pasture crop which will be
of much value in production of live
stock but has no bearing on the grain
crop situation. All of these facts
conteract to considerable extent the
over optimistic headlines of our daily
papers. Considerable dissatisfaction
was expressed at a meeting of the
Redwood Falls Commercial Club at
these over-optimistic reports that are
