Annual School Election
Brings Out Small Vote

One of the smallest votes ever poll
ed at a Redwood Falls school cleo
ton was cast last night for the cleo
ton of Emil F. Buenger and the re-
election of DR.. j. w. Inglis to the
Board of Education. The two men
elected were the only filings for the
vacancies. A total of 80 votes were
cast. The financial report of the
School District was read at the close
of the voting. This report shows a
careful and conservative expenditure
of the moneys of the district and
that the schools are in good finan-
cial condition. The report will be pub
lished in the next issue of the Gazette
and the Board of Education is hopeful
that it will receive the close and care
full attention it merits; for this reason
the report will be submitted through
the press. A regular business meet
ing followed the election.

Commercial Club Meets
in Ramsey State Park

Because the regular meeting night
of the Redwood Falls Commercial
Club came on Monday night, July 9,
a chautauqua date. the meeting was
extended one week and held in RAM
sey State Park in the form of pic
mic. Following the picnic supper a
business meeting was called in which
Rev. R. o. Aga addressed the 65 peo-
pie present. Darkness prevented the
business going to any great length,
although the club petitioned the RAM
sey Park Board for lights for the
park and also to provide registra-
ton book for use in the park. A
discussion followed regarding the pos
sibilitity of stationing a night patrol
man in the park between the hours Of
$3.50 and 1900 o'clock. No action
was taken on this proposal. Senti-
ment seems to favor the proposal of
the night Waterman, because Of the
numerous tourists who visit the park
at all times during the summer
months

Mustard Making its Presence Felt
in Redwood. County this Year

County Agent Lynn Sheldon reports
that there is as much or more must
ard in the fields of Redwood County
as there has been in years. This may
be explained in part by the seasonal
conditions and in part by the fact
that the acreage to flax has been
largely increase, he says.
Just as Mr.. Sheldon points out,
one of the most effective ways to
keep mustard out of fields is to use
the tanning mill more. The seeds are
so small that they are difficult to
separate from clover seed and some
of the grain, but thorough tanning
should be practiced, more generally
and will be of great help. AS far
as possible plants should be prevent
ed from seeding. This is vital point
in stamping out the pest.
Rotation of the following crops will
be a decided help in keeping mustard
in check: Cd corn, well titled; (2)
grain with stubble pastured or disc
ed; (3) grains, and timothy and Glow
er seedlings; az hay; (5) pasture or
hay. After the grain has been cut,
the soil should be worked well with
the disc or spring tooth harrow to

65 OWNERS OF
CARS DELINQUENT
Checkup Shows Many Delin
quent Licenses. Sheriff to
Collect July 9th.

There are IS automobile license
fees unpaid in Redwood County il
was announced today at Clerk
of Court Weldon's office. Notice has
been sent by the state to each of the
delinquent persons and warrants will
be given to Sheriff Kise on July 81
Warrants are given the sheriff Of
each county Is days after the notice
is sent out by the state. The warrant
is destroyed if the settlement is
made before the Is day period.
Few of the delinquent list pay the
regular fee and the fine for late pay
ment, as usually the autos are scrap
ped or have been sold.
Many of the IS delinquent cars are
owned by people who have moved out
of the state without notifying Mike
Holm, secretary of state, of the re-
moval. The 65 delinquents' machines
were registered and the license fees
paid in 1927.
Failure to. pay the fees and the adj
ditional fine on the machines makes
them the property of the state.
Other counties of the state are TAX
ing similar steps to those in Redwood
county and several have started issu-
ance of the warrants.

County Agent Sheldon Reports
Many Fields of Weed. Use
Tanning Mill More.

The mustard family or tribe in the
great weed oligarchy of this country
should not be regarded lightly. The
tribe has many branches and is known
by many names. Some of its men,
bers are more troublesome than 9TH
ers, but all are gross feeders on the
soil constituents which field crops
need and therefore reduce the farm
er's yields and increase costs of pro-
duction.
Like many another weed, mustard
is not. native but came from for
eign shore. 1t is an annual and pro-
pagates only by seed, consequently it
is not so difficult 20 subdue as some
other plants in the weed world. But
it has great vitality for all that, fpr
its little seeds mature sufficiently to
terminate three weeks after bloom
ing time or they may lie in the ground
. dozen years or more and still sur
yive and "bring forth"
Mustard is having one of its good
wears in Minnesota, that is "good"
from the. family's point of view.

Merchants to Sponsor
Series of Band Concerts

Owing to the fact that Redwood
Falls has not had band of its own
for some time, the local merchants
have taken it upon themselves to give
the citizens of the surrounding ter
ritory, entertainment in the form of
a series Of. Saturday night band con-
certs on the streets Of the city. The
first concert of the series will be
held next Saturday night, July 21st

sic will be furnished by the famous
Sleepy Eye High School band of 35
pieces and will begin promptly at
800 o'clock sharp. Bands from New
Ulm and other neighboring towns will
be heard here in the future, to COM

MAKESHIFT AUTO
TAGS NOT LEGAL
Use of Dealers Plates to Avoid
Paying Full Fee Is Con-
trary to Law.

During the month of July there
are more License Applied for" and
other home made auto tags than in
any other month. The reason, ac-
cording to a State Highway depart
ment bulletin, is that after August 1
the license rate is only one-half the
regular rate, and many people who
buy cars this month want to drive
them at once but postpone buying a
license until August.
There is only one legal substitute
for the regular license plates and
that is the certificate provided by
law for temporary operation of a car
while waiting for the license plates.
This can be issued only by duly auth
orized deputies of the Secretary of
State, upon forms provided for that
purpose, and only after. the license
fee has been paid and forwarded to
the Secretary of States office. Home
made signs, affidavits, or permits is
sued by unauthorized persons have no
standing in law.
Abuse of the dealers license priv
ilege is also more frequent in July
than any other month. Dealers plates
can be used legally only on machines
being demonstrated to prospective
customers, or while moving machines
from the factory to the dealers place
of business or warehouse. Use OF
dealers plates by car owners this
month to get the benefit of the half
rate August is contrary to law.

County Delegates Meet With
Babcock on Highway Dispute

fered.
The proposal of the representatives
from Lyon and Yellow Medicine coun-
ties was to extend the highway
straight west from the Vesta corner,
running west on the Yellow Medicine
Redwood county line, then through
Lyon county, connecting with high
way No. II, several miles north of
Marshall, then south to Marshall.
Should this proposal become a real
ity, many miles of state highway
would be eliminated from Redwood
county, causing the former state
highway to become county property
again, of which the county would be
required to keep up.
The proposal offered Mr.. Babcock
from the Redwood county delegation
was to run six miles straight
south, through Vesta, then west on

name of Bob Kennedy of Omaha on
the register. The name looking fic-
ticious, an investigation followed, in
which the arrest of Schubert, alias

Lone Bandit Makes Getaway
With $500 in Cash. Sher-
Tiff Fitzner Here at Time.

Had the Clarified bankers follow
ed the recent decision of the Candy
bankers, of closing the banks during
the noon hour as precaution against
robbery, the hold-up of the former

Monday, shortly after noon in which
a lone bandit stole $1,000 in cash.
With no accomplice, the lone ban
dit, we'll dressed, ordered A. M. An
drisen, assistant cashier of the Citi-
zens State Bank of Clarified to
"Stick 'em up" after asking for the
change of a bill. Andrisen, who was
alone in the institution at the time
of the robbery was forced into the
vault, where, by his foresight in COW
ering $4,000 in Liberty Bonds with
his arm, they were overlooked by the
bandit.
After working a half hour on the
combination from the inside with a
pocket knife, Andrisen released him.

been rifled of $1,000 in currency. At
ter making the robbery, the bandit
apparently walked outside and sped
away in waiting automobile, which
was parked with the motor running.
Redwood county officials received
word of the robbery shortly after it
occurred, Sheriff M. F. Fitzner of yell
low Medicine county being in Red
wood Falls for the apprehension of a
prisoner for the Granite Falls rob-
berry Sunday. Surrounding commun-
tiles were notified but latest reports

FIRST TWO SILOS
BEING BUILT HERE.

The first silos ever in this section
OF the country are in course of con-
struction on the farms of John Lind
beck on the north side of the lake
and on the farm of E. H Starkman
IN the White Iron District.
The construction of these SiloS are
an innovation and is being looked
upon in several lights. Some of the
older people not accustomed to these
modern feeding appliances are surmis-
ing all manner of surmises. One story
which has been broadcast is that silage
rots the teeth of cattle and even kills
them. Those who are erecting the
silos on their farms are not concern
ed with these wierd tales however and
will use the modern feeding methods
regardless of the calamity dispensers
The structures are of the stave and
siding type being distributed by the
Independent Silo Co. They viii be
hued with Sunflower sfIage which
proves are very acceptable crop and
feed material. On the Lindbeck farm
there is stand Of sundower over Il
feet high in places,
The silage experiment. is being
watched with interest by many and
several will follow in the footsteps OF
Mr.. Lindbeck and Mr.. Starkman
probably next year as it is a fore
gone conclusion that the move will
be q success.
