LEGION TO SPONSOR
INDOOR CARNIVAL
LOCAL POST DECIDES TO FEA-
TURE CARNIVAL PRIOR TO BE-
GINNING OF LENTEN SEASON.
NEXT MEETING THURSDAY.

At the meeting of the Melvin Das-
kan Post Number 38 of the Ameri-
can Legion held at the local post
club rooms Thursday night, January
IL, the post decided to sponsor a
carnival to be held some time prior
to the Lenten season.
A committee had been selected at
a previous meeting to take charge OF
and arrange for carnival. VIM.
Carity, chairman of the committee,
gave a lengthy report on the COM
mittee's activities concerning the
event. Discussion followed at which
there was a vote taken which car
ried that the post would sponsor such
an event.
There will be the regular January
meeting held on next Thursday night
at which time more definite action
will be taken and with the committee
reporting.
At the last carnival held at the
armory in 1924 there were many clev-
er booths in operation, with several
side shows to attract the crowd. Free
attractions were presented each
night; the carnival was marked by
wholesome entertainment and was
both profitable to the Legion and en-
joyed by those attending. This year
the local post expects to give to the
public an entirely new phase of local
color which will and can be enjoyed
by all. Coming at such time, just
prior to Lent, the citizens are assur-
ed of continual round of pleasure
that will last them through the en-
tire Lenten season.
After discussions of the carnival
the post continued with the regular
business. The local post was asked
to raise funds to help preserve the
historic old frigate Constitution (Old
Ironsides) as memorial. Numerous
pictures of the historic ship were sold
to the members in attendance at the
meeting, the proceeds going to Ma
tional headquarters where an effort
is being made to preserve the ship as
a memorial.
The post went on record of endors-
ing the plan of the Sunset Home As
sociation of providing and proper
care for the aged of Minnesota. This
plan was also endorsed by the Red
wood Falls Commercial Club at it's
December meeting.

LABOR SITUATION
HITS COMMUNITY
A PETITION CIRCULATED ASK
ING IMMIGRATION COMMITTEE
TO HELP KILL QUOTA BILL ON
MEXICAN LABOR.

A petition is being circulated
throughout the district by M. l.. Pet
tbs, to petition the immigration COM
mittee in congress to use its best IN
fluence to kill a quota bill on imml-
grafton concerning Mexico. The bill,
it seems, would put Mexico, Canada
and Islands adjacent to the United
States on the same basis with coUn-
tries of Europe.
The sugar beet or beet sugar indus
try of the United States has taken
on broad proportions. In communl-
ties where the soil and other condl-
tions are favorable the raising Of su-
gar beets is taking an increasingly
important place in the scheme of ag-
ricultural diversification. Extensive
attention to sugar beets is now given
by farmers of Minnesota, the Dako-
tas and many other states. The de-
pendence on Mexican labor to per-
form the field work is large and is al
most indispensable to the industry.
The Mexican laborers who do this
work are mostly transients, coming
into the country when they are need
ed and leaving at the end of the sea-
son.
The quota law was enacted with the
purpose of keeping down the number
of European immigrants, who, if they
could, would come to the United
States in great numbers. White men
could not and would not if they could,
perform the class of work, under the
conditions that the Mexican laborer
is forced. 1t has been estimated that
from 80 to 85 per cent of the Mexi-
cans who annually enter the United
States return to their home.
In recent letter Congressman
Frank Clague mentioned among 9TH
er things that he was satisfied the
bills will not become laws in their
present forms. Under present labor
conditions it is absolutely necessary
that a reasonable number of Mexican
laborers be allowed to perform labor
in raising sugar beets in this terri
tory.

COUNTY ENGINEER
SUBMITS REPORT
REDWOOD co. SPENDS $142,O7S.-
II ON ROADS IN 1927 WITH
AMOUNT RECEIVED FROM VII
LAGES AND TOWNS $4,000.

County Engineer j. ]. Idzorek re-
Gently submitted his yearly report to
the Board of County Commissioners.
In the report the highway engineer
gave an itemized maintenance report
of the different state roads of the
county. There were 213.3 miles of
road graded and 211.3 miles graveled.
The maintenance cost of the roads,
numbers l to IA amounted to $101,-
234.36 or an average of $474.61 cost
per mile.
The aforesaid average cost per mile
includes all regraveling jobs, patrol
mems work, bridge repairs, snow re-
moval, culverts, guard rails and mis-
cellaneous expenditures in keeping
the road open to traffic.
An average cost of $254.88 per mile
was expended for regraveling, while
the snow removal costs for the win
ter months, this season and last,
amounted to $34.7O per mile. This
makes an average cost of mainten-
ance of $185.33 per mile. During
the season 76,144 cubic yards If
gravel were hauled on the State Aid
roads.
The summary of the expenditures
reads as follows: Maintenance on
State Roads, $1O1, ,234.36; Construc-
ton on State Roads, $17,851.98; Ma
chinery and Tools, ETC., $14,475.73;
General and Miscellaneous, $4,115.24;
Office Fixtures and Supplies; $118.-
08 and Engineering and Expenses $5,-
282.88 for a total of $142,078.17.
In addition to the above expendi-
lures the County has expended $685.
10000 on County Aid Roads. The
County Aid Roads are supervised by
the County Engineer to see that the
townships build to standard plan,
in which the county aids the township
on a $3.50 basis.
The expenditures are somewhat
lowered by different amounts received
from townships and villages for grad
ing, graveling and engineering. These
amounts received from the different
sources totals SIS, 1862.

Warning is Sounded
Against Tying on Cars

At this time of the year, with
streets icy and slippery, the Gazette
wishes to call attention to the para
graph in the state traffic law which
prohibits hitching toboggans or hand
sleds to motor vehicles. The same
section prohibits riding on or jump
ing into any vehicle without the own
er's consent. These practices are
dangerous at all times, but especially
dangerous when roadways are icy or
rutted, SO that it is difficult to control
vehicles. Like other portions of the
traffic act, these provisions are simp-
ly safety rules which have been writ
ten into the law. Arrests for viola
tions may not be numerous, but acci-
dents are sure to happen to a consid-
srable proportion Of those who violate
these rules. Parents and teachers
will do well to warn children of the
dangers that are 50 apparent at this
tisAe Of the year.

amounted in the neighborhood of $4,-
100000 for the Redwood Falls office.

had its offices here and at about the
time the bank moved, the insurance
company also moved This business
was approximately Sl.000.00. The

FOURTH ARTICLE ON
? PRODUCTION COSTS
COUNTY AGENT TELLS WHICH
CROP GIVES THE GREATEST
VALUE PER ACRE FOR FARMS
OF REDWOOD COUNTY.

What crop produces the greatest
value in dollars and cents per acre
that can be raised in Redwood Coun-
ty?
: The answer is alfalfa. Corn is the
principle crop raised, and a good big
average of the best corn over . per-
iod of years is 30 to 20 bushels at 50
cents per bushel at the elevator, a 40
bushel crop would bring in $4,000
per acre. A fair average crop Of al
falfa is three tons per acre and sel-
dom sells for less thar $1,000 per ton
or $1,000 per acre.
In addition to this, alfalfa has many
other values on the farm. Alfalfa is
rich in protein. Protein Is most es-
sential in the feed requirements for
young growing stock, dairy stock,
beef and pork production. 1t mny
be provided cheaper in alfalfa than
any other form. 1t is equal to wheat
bran at $500 per ton. 1t will take
the place of much cotton seed or oil
meal or tankage. 1t is the most pro-
fitable crop per acre raised in Red
wood County unless it is beets, and ie
will grow on every farm
Alfalfa enriches the soil. 1t is q
soil builder. 1t has the power, an
very few other plants hsve, only leg
