passed away shortly afterward.

Root of Wheaton will be in charge of

having made her home in Redwood
Falls for many years. Before her
marriage to Mr.. Hanson she was en-
ployed as saleswoman at the F. w.
Philbrick & Son Store and through
her pleasing way made many close
friends.

one daughter Mrs. Inez Root Scott
of Ames, Iowa and three grandchil-
dren, her father, Mr.. Caine, and one

LEGION SENIORS
To PLAY JUNIORS
Juniors Defeat Firemen IA to 1
Monday; Are Challenged BY
Seniors for Thursday Mite

The Redwood Falls Americas Le-
gion Juniors made a successful bid
for the city baseball champaanship
when they trimmed The Redwood
Fslis Firemen last Monday night by
the one-sided score of IA to 1. Out
side Of q bad first inning in which the
Juniors scored at viii, the Firemen
held their younger rivals in fairly
good shape.
Brueske catching for the Firebugs,
started the game with an out. Cor
bett, fire chief came up and singled
sharply. He was out trying to pill
fer second. Nan Byram was also out
on an attempted steal and so on.
The game was replete with, thrills
perhaps not, but laughter, oh so
much.
During the game in which the side
lines more than rocked with mirth
and joy, a few of the Legion
naires gathered together and after
considerable discussion, summoning
all their nerve, issued challange to
the victors of the game.
This game will be played next
Thursday night at $50 o'clock, Au-
gust 1st, and promises to produce as
much or more laughter than the one
of Monday night. The battery that
will probably start for the Legion
Seniors will be composed of Rex Mill
er on the slab and Jake Stensvad
wearing the mask.
AS was done in the Firemen-Jun-
ior game the small charge of 10 cents
will be made which will go into the
Junior Baseball fund. The fact that
Miller will be on the mound to start
the game will no doubt attract many
old fans.

N. B. Ofelt, State Weed Inspect.
or Visits Redwood County
July 25; Good Results

One of the two state weed inspect
ors, N. B. Ofelt, spent Wednesday,
July 25th, in Redwood County. Sew
eral farm visits were made and Mr..
Ofelt had a good opportunity to see
quite a lot of the work done on the
weeds this year.
Several conferences were held at
various places in the county during
the day and fairly representative
part of the county was inspected.
Mr.. Ofelt's opinion should be interest
ing and distinctly encouraging to all
the people who have co-operated so
whole heartedly in the weed campaign
of the last few weeks. He said that
the Redwood County weed campaign
was fine and that Redwood County
people were getting excellent results.
He wished especially to commend the
fairly general practice of moving
weeds on the roads as well as. in the
fields where they have been damag-
ing crops. Further, Mr.. Ofelt wished
to endorse the practice of tagging
the weed spots. This idea was entire
ly new to him and he praised it very
highly saying that if everyone would
adopt the practice it would be the
best campaign on record and one that
would not only control the weed men,
ace but would come close to eliminat-
ing the weeds. There is no doubt
that the practice of tagging weed
spots will be advocated in other coun-
ties from now on.
Mr.. Ofelt was genuinely surprised
and highly gratified to see how every
one had thrown in together on the
"War on Weeds" Congratulations! |!
In the foregoing discussion it may
be seen that the results of weed
fight are appreciated by those who
are in a position to judge results.
The folks who have really accomplish
ed the work may feel well repaid
when they know that the job has been
seen by state expert and comment
ed on so favorably. However, every
one knows that the job is only start
ed. Many roadsides have not been
moved, many more need to be moved
again. Lots of weeds spots have been
overlooked. 1t remains the duty OF
every citizen to continue to help and
stayI1n the job. Destroy all weeds
by cuttirg and burning. Piow the
weed stubble under-fag the weed
patches and keep after them until it
freezes up. If any thistle patches are
found which are ready to seed clip
the tops at least and burn them.
Don't allow any to go through graia
separator. This weed program will
not be successful in one year or two
or three but conditions will improve
gradually until eventually Redwood
County should fairly free from the
pest.
There have been number of in
uuiries about different weeds. A
number of people have report
ed sow thistles but they general
ly turn out to be wild lettuce. There
are several kinds of wild lettuce.
They look badly and should be pre-
vented from going to seed. One kind,
