BABY WRAPPED IN
BLANKET, ABANDONED

A healthy little infant boy, between
four and five months old, was aban-
doned on the boulevard in front of the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Eb-
ert at Glencoe at some hour after
nightfall Tuesday and daybreak We'd
nesday. No clue has as yet been OBJ
tanned which would lead to the iden-
tity of the natural mother-if it real
ly was the mother who left the child
out in the open, under the canopy of
the heavens. and the elements, facing
the dangers of darkness and the chilly
night air, to the mercy of whoever
might discover it.
The infant, a bright little chap, ig-
norant of his plight, cooes happily and
contentedly at the Ebert home under
the tender care of Mrs. Ebert who,
with her husband, will succor the
wait until county authorities deter
mine for its future.
Mrs Ebert was attracted by the
cries of the little fellow about o.
clock in the morning, and these dir
ected her attention to what appeared
10 De u VI rags VII ShS oSNA>-
ward in front of their home. On 60
ing out to investigate she found the
child which was dressed in very rag
ged clothes, and was wrapped in
dirty wooden blanket. The fact that
the blanket had become very damp
from dew tends to show that the in
FAINT was abandoned during the ear
lier hours of the night.
The youngster has very fair hair
but is dark in complexion. Sheriff
Beihoffer was notified by MIR. Ebert
of the finding of the child, and the
sheriff has aquiesced to the desire OF
Mrs. Ebert that the boy remain IN her
custody while he strives to locate the
person who abandoned it, and until
county authorities take the proper
steps for its future well-being.-Glen-

OLDEST BANK SELLS OUT.

Two Fairfax banks, the Citizens
State bank and the First National
Tuesday took over jointly third
bank in that municipality, the State
Bank of Fairfax. 1t had capital
of $4,000, with resources of about
$3.50, 900. 1t was the oldest bank in
Fairfax. S. H. Gumpolen was presi-
dent and A. E. Carver its cashier. The
two aforementioned banks purchased
the LIQUID assets and the old State
Bank has discontinued business and
will wind up it's affairs. The state
banking department sanctioned the
transaction.-Brown Co. Journal.

1919 Increase Over Consumption
in 1926. 95 Cars Kerosene
and Distillate Shipped In.

According to data on file in the
office of the state oil inspector, there
were 2,S02,856 gallons Of gasoline,
67S,791 gallons of kerosene and &c.,
2S7 gallons of distillate consumed in
Redwood county during the year 1927.
This was the gallonage of gas, oil
and distillate handled at thirteen in
shipping points in the county. While
tank cars vary considerable in cap
acity taking 1880 gallons as an av-
erage in round numbers there were
1856 tank cars of gas, SO cars of kero-
sene and two cars of distillate ship
ped into the county.
This is noticeable increase over
the previous year when the gas gal
lonage was 1855, 1902. and that of kerr
osene 620,106. The consumption of
distillate was reduced half, however,
but at most it is a small item.
Inasmuch as some neighboring
counties suffered a loss in gallonage,
we are unable to account for the in
crease in this county unless it be that
Redwood county dealers near the
county borders are expanding their
territory.
There is tendency towards larg-
er consumption of petroleum products
each year in this state, especially as
regards gasoline and Redwood county
seems to be keeping pace in this re-
spect.
Distillate is looming up more and
more as a factor in the petroleum
field. In many respects it is a splen-
did fuel for heating purposes. So far
it has not invaded the rural counties
very heavily but it is used consider
able in the largest heating plants in
the cities. More and more it will
probably come into general use. 1t
is an economical fuel and has several
advantages for the consumer. One
is there is always a plentiful supply.
Brown county showed a reduction
in gas consumption last year but an
increase in kerosene and distillate
used.

shipping points in Redwood county for

HARMONY DAY DATES
CIT AVIC

August 10, II and IL have been
set as the dates for the Harmony
Days celebration in Sleepy Eye this
year.
Last August, when the event was
held in that city for the first time,
thousands of visitors from far and
near were there to celebrate with
Sleepy Eye. With added attractions
and more thorough advertising, it is
estimated the attendance will be
doubled this year.
Features of the celebration are yet
to be worked out, but it is presumed
that there will be band tourna-
ment, sport program, free attractions
of various kinds, a Harmony Queen,
possibly two of them, to be crowned.
Committees will be appointed this
week and work will start to make the
three days bigger and better in every
way than ever before.-Sleepy Eye
