National representation means
just two things to the people OF the
District of Columbia. Paul r. Lesh,
local attorney and advocate OF the
franchise for residents of the Dis
trict. stated in his address on that
subject before meeting Of the
North Capitol Citizens Association
last night In the Memorial United
Brethren Sunday School, North Cap
itol and r streets northwest.
The opponents of nat1onaI repre-
sentation seek the privilege of suing
and being sued in the courts of the
United States and the right to. nave
re representation in the two Houses OF
Congress and representative votes IN
the electoral college. he asserted.
Those are their expectations. he ex-
planned, and all other alleged desires
of the advocates of national repre-
sentation mentioned by the oppo-
nents of the movement are false.
Rights Here Held Few.
THE rights of citizens of the
United States residing in the Dis
trict of Columbia" are not only less
than that of a citizen of a State. but
are even less than that of an alien.
Mr.. Lesh stated, in referring to the
fact that a resident of the District
cannot resort to the Federal courts
under the present constitutional pro-
visions. ..-..
AT the time the District was
carved out of Maryland and Virginia
there were comparatively no resi-

Perry Nelson has resigned from his
position at the F. w. Philbrick and
Son Store to accept a similar posi-
tion at Waterloo, Iowa. There he
will have charge of the Hovland-Sar-
deson Department in the Paul Davis

Insurance Office Moves

The North Star Insurance office
which has been in Redwood Falls
since the organization of the Com
pany several years ago, was moved
Saturday to Cottonwood. A. E. An
derson, who was made secretary to
succeed the late A. D. Stewart of Red
wood Falls, is a resident of Cotton
wood, and did not wish to move his
other interests to Redwood Falls.
Therefore the office was moved to his
home town. Miss Meci Reed who has
been connected with the office here
for considerable period went to
Cottonwood Monday and will act as
secretary until another competent
secretary can be employed. She ex-
poets to return home in about six
weeks. Miss Reed and her sister,
Miss Doris Reed, were with the Of
flee for some time prior to the death
of Mr.. Stewart. This Company was
organized largely at the instigation
of Mr.. Stewart and it's remarkable
growth was largely due to his activity
and ability. Its removal from Red
wood Falls is regretable.

At the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Redwood
County Oil Company, Incorpor-

fices of the company Tuesday
afternoon, January 18th, the
following were elected to the
Board of Directors: VIM. M.
Smith, Louis Bunge, A. C. Bur-
meister, T. e. Finn and James
A. Baikie. Immediately follow
ing the meeting the Board of
Directors met and organized the
personal of the company. VIM.
M. Smith was elected president
and treasurer, A. C. Burmeister,
vice president and James A.
Baikie secretary. The Redwood
County Oil Company, Incorpor-
ated, did in the neighborhoOd of
$70,000.00 worth of business in
1926 and when the books were
closed on December 31st, the
accounts outstanding were
slightly over $4,000. This
amounts to about six tenths of
one per cent outstanding which
is very exceptional for any bus
mess, considering the conditions
that have existed for past years.

SPLENDID YEAR
CITY COMPANY DECLARES SIX
PER CENT DIVIDEND; ELECTS
SAME OFFICERS AND DIRECT
ORS AT ANNUAL MEETING.

The annual meeting of the Red
wood Falls Electric Telephone Com
pany was held at the Court House
Tuesday evening at 1888 in the Com
missioners room, with the largest at
tendance of stockholders that this or
ganization has had for a number of
years, about seventy-five per cent of
the stock being represented either
in person or by proxy.
The usual routine business of the
evening was transacted and the Sec
retary's report shows a healthy
growth in the Company's business for
the year. It developed that about
$500 had been added to the plant and
equipment, that the usual 6 per
cent dividend could be paid and the
bonded Indebtedness of the company
can be reduced to quite a substantial
amount, which is considered very
flattering condition, when the fact is
considered that Redwood Falls is be-
ing furnished the present excellent
quality of service at price lower
than many cities adjacent to Red
wood Falls.
1t was the unanimous wish of the
stockholders present that the same
board of directors continue in office
for the next year and the secretary
was instructed to cast the ballot of
the meeting for the following as the
board of directors: Rud Stensvad, c..

New Richland HOnOrs
Old Time Resident

The New Richland Star in its issue
of last week carried an article on the
useful life of Henry Jaehning during
the years he was a resident Of that
village. Two of his old neighbors
there came to Redwood Falls to rep
resent New Richland at the burial
service held here for Mr.. Jaehning
as mark of the respect still felt for
him in his old community. These
men were John Kreuzer and F. G.
Schneider. The article published in
memory of Mr.. Jaehning reads as fol-
lows:
Fifty years ago, young man
came to this town who afterwards
started the first cheese factory, the
telephone company, became mayor
and under his administration the wat
er works were built, the village hall
erected, the fire department organic
ed, sidewalks put down and most OF
the improvements which we enjoy
now. Last Saturday this man, Henry
Jaehning, passed away in Mime
apolis hospital following an opera
tion for prostate gland trouble. He
was seventy-seven years old.
1T is conceded that Henry Jaehning
did more for this village than any
man who has ever lived here. When
he left, most of the civic improve
ments stopped. He was a man Of
small stature but big in every other
way. Those who knew him say that
if he made up his mind something was
right and should be done that nothing
could stop him. He was a natural
born mechanic. Once he built . small
steam engine and used to keep it puff
ing away IN front Of his store. Any
defect at the EACO mill
that the force there couldn't solve,
was usually arighted when Jaehning
was called in.

village. He built his ffrSt staEe (fw-
