STATE BANK NOW
A TRUST COMPANY
Changes Name to State Bank
and Trust Company of
Redwood Falls

Complying with a long standing
demand for a highly needed addi-
tional service, the State Bank of Red
wood Falls, one of the strongest fin
ancial institutions of the State OF
Minnesota, will undertake to give to
Southwestern Minnesota the services
of first class Trust Company in ad-
dition to it's Banking facilities.
Under the old banking law, a bank
was not allowed to become a trustee,
handle trust funds, become an ex-
ecutor or administrator OR guardian
or perform many other functions Of
a trust nature. Under a later law a
bank may if properly organized, pro-
cure the Certificate of the Commits
sioner of Banks authorizing them to
do trust business.
At the last meeting of the Board
of Directors of the State Bank OF
Redwood Falls, a resolution was
adopted directing President A. C. Bur
meister and Cashier A. F. Hassenstat
to call special meeting of the stock
holders of said bank for the purpose
of voting on a resolution changing
the name of said bank to the State
Bank & Trust Company of Redwood
Falls.
Redwood Falls is to be congratulate
ed on securing the facilities of 9
Trust Company. Southwestern Min
nesota will now have a trust COM
pany having full power to act as ar
administrator of estates, guardian OF
the estates of incompetants and min
ors, executors of last wills, entering
into trust contracts of every nature
without going into and mourning ex'
pense for expensive bonds to insure
the proper handling of estates, as
the Trust Company must at all times
keep on deposit with the State Treas.
ure Fifty Thousand Dollars of ap
proved securities, to insure the safe
handling of such estates. The ad
vantage of having permanent Trust
Company to administer estates
rather than an individual who himself
may pass away is obvious.
There will be no change in the of.
ficers Of said bank, Mr.. Burmeistel
will continue as the president of the
bank as well as the head of its Trust
Department. =

MONTEVIDEO wins
HOMECOMING GAME
Redwood Falls Loses to Old
Rival 40 on Heavy
Field

Montevideo defeated Redwood Falls
14-O, Saturday, before a large home
coming crowd on the Monte field.
The game, played in rain and on a
muddy field, was slow and unevent-
full except for the two Montevideo
drives that netted two touchdowns
and victory for that team.
The game opened with Redwood
Falls receiving. Finn made good
return of the opening kickoff and
then elected to play kicking game
in anticipation of tumble that might
mean an opportunity to score. With
the ball wet and soggy this seemed
good football but the break never
came. Montevideo came into posses
sion of the ball near the middle of
the field after an exchange of punts
and started a drive from this point
that led to the first of two touch
downs. Passes and end runs placed
the ball on Redwood Falls 8 yard
line. The next play was wide end
run which carried the ball over the
goal line. The back who carried the
ball dropped back to pass but when
he found no one open he travelled the
width of the field to score. The kick
for the estra point was good and
Montevideo took point lead that
was not to be overcome.
Finn took the next kickoff and re-
turned it to his 40 yard stripe before
being downed. Here his team was
held to downs and forced to punt.
Play remained about even during the
remainder of the quarter with Mont
evideo in possession of the ball in
her own territory at the beginning of
the second period.
Montevideo could not gain and
punted. On spinner Corbett broke
through center and with a clear field
ahead fell in the mud and was stop
ped before he could regain his foot
ing. After Redwood had punted a
Monte drive brought the ball to mid
field. Standing on the so yard mark

at Meeting of County Chapter
at WabassO, Thursday

The annual meeting of the Red
wood County Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross was held in Wabasso
on Thursday night, October 31st, with
about thirty members present. The
High school in Wabasso was the
cordial host to the chapter and assist
ed with the program.
Mr.. T. F. Reed, Attorney, Redwood
Falls, was elected to conduct the an
nual roll call from November 1928.
Mr.. Reed was present and expressed
his interest in the Red Cross and
asked for the cooperation of those
present in having a bigger and bet
ter roll call. Mr.. Reed called atten-
tion to the fact that the National
Red Cross did a greater piece Of
work this year than ever before, hav-
ing rendered aid to over eight hun
dred thousand people suffering from
calamities, hundred and seventeen
of which were in the United States
and three in United States posses
.siions. In addition, eleven foreign
countries received financial aid from
the American Red Cross for disaster
work.
Miss Theo Jensen, County Super
intendent, gave her report on the
Junior Red Cross work in the coun-
ty last year, stating that every school
in the county was enrolled in this or
,ganization. Miss Jensen hopes that
every school will be enrolled this
year. At present Lightweight schools
have sent in their enrollments.
The Junior Red Cross assisted sew
en- children in the county in taking
care of physical handicaps, such as
bad eyes, tonsils, or teeth. The Jun
iors sent Christmas Boxes to the
children in the North woods of Min
nesota, who would have received nc
Christmas cheer had it not been fol-
their thoughtfulness. Miss Jensen
reported an expenditure of $500 last
year and a balance of $146.84 in the
Junior Treasury.
Mr.. Earl Whiting, Chapter Treas
urer, gave an excellent financial re-
port, stating that the county last
year spent it's money as follows:
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1929-11-06

Owing to the fact that some of the
branch reports were not in, those
were necessarily omitted by Mr..
Whiting in his report.
A report was read of the work OF
the former executive secretary, show
ing that Miss Callister had taken
care of over two hundred cases in the
county during the past year. These
were as follows: Delinquents, g.;
Boarded children, 6; Adoptions and

The Papal "ArmY."

There are four divisions Of the Papal
army. The Gendarmeria do what
amounts to police duty in the Vatican
halls, corridors and garden. The
famous Swiss Guard is the personal
bodyguard of the Pope; the Palatine
Guard forms guards of honor only;
the Noble Guards are q remnant Of
Papal cavalry used in days gone by.
The Swiss GUARDS are the only
really military disciplined corps Of the
four sections. They must be Swiss
born and must answer to the physical
requirement Of the Swiss army, not
more than IS years old and not less
than feet inches in height. When
these conditions have been met the
applicant must spend q years pro-
baton in Switzerland; If his conduct
is satisfactory he is admitted to the
guard.
The guard numbers about 100
officers and men. The principal duty
is guarding the person Of the Pope.
They also watch the bronze doors at
the front of the Vatican and the big
gates at the back. where the 900 feet
OF path runs up to the museum. The
entrance and approaches to the Pom
tits apartments are also patrolled by
these tall Swiss, who, when on indoor
duty. wear their quaint uniform de-
signed by Michelangelo.

and accomplishment Of the desired re-
suits for which all are striving. Co
operation will be given to the American
Forestry Association in its educational
work in the Southern States to rouse
the public to an understanding of the
folly of annual burning of forest lands.
These fires are often deliberately
started by persons who gain livelihood
by berry picking. The land being
cleared in this manner in the Spring
makes their work of berry gathering
easier when the fruit has ripened. The
loss of lumber and the injury to the
wild life Is considerable. Research into
the diseases and other factors which
tend to interfere with the increase Of
wild life will be continued, including
the special investigation of the status
and diseases of the ruff1ed grouse.

Deluge for a Lumber Fire.

The huge timber piles accumulated
for the manufacture Of paper pulp
sometimes consist Of 10000 cords Of
wood with a valuation of about $780,
900, and these great piles sometimes
become ignited through spontaneous
combustion when the loss OF the ma
terial is considerable, but for lack of
material the plants are often closed
down for a time which means an even
greater loss. The FIRE starting in the
makes considerable Roadway before 1t
is quenched, If it Is extinguished at all.
In at least one instance this possibility
is taken care of by surrounding the
pile with monitor noZzles directed into
the heart of the pile. In case Of fire
the water is turned on and in o short
while the great pile is thoroughly
drenched.

In Behalf OF. Wild Life.

For the first time an attempt is being
made by national, State and private
game organizations to outline national
policy for Wild life conservation and
restoration. Such a policy, on which
all interested organizations and indi-
viduals may unite and cooperate, is
essential to coordination Of their work
