Caution in Meeting
Snowplows Advised

Beware of snow plows, is the warn
ing sounded to drivers by the Mime
sofa Highway department. Not that
snow plow operators are reckless
drivers or that they have any desire
to harm anyone. But due to the fly
ing snow it is often difficult for the
men driving the trucks or tractors be-
hind the plows to see cars even a
short distance ahead. Efficient snow
plowing requires that the machines
be kept going at steady speed.
Drivers on the highways after a
snow storm are urged to be on the
lookout for snow plows, and not at
tempt to pass or meet them where the
snow is heavy but to stop and wait at
some spot where the road is bare or
the snow is light. In any event it is
safest to get as far as possible from
the middle of the road and wait until
the plows have gone by.

K. E. CLASSCO DIES
SATURDAY, JAN. rs
Redwood Falls Citizen Passes
Away After Several Years
of Failing Health

K. E. Glassco died at his home in
Redwood Falls Saturday morning,
January 26th, following long illness,
which became serious within the last
week of his life. The burial services
were held at the home Tuesday after
noon at 200 o'clock, with DR.. j. P.
Linn, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church officiating. The pail bearers
were DIR. w. A. Brand, F. G. Hub
bard, C. A. Luscher, S. A. Appleton,
Robert Byram and Robert Moorhead.
Interment was made in the Redwood
Falls cemetery.
Kimball Elliott Glassco was born
on December oath, 1860, at Tuscola,
Illinois. As boy he lived with his
parents on a farm in Coles County,
Illinois. When Mr.. Glassco was 21
years of age he came west to Ashton,
S. D., pioneering in that section Of
the country where he proved up on
claim. After proving the claim, Mr..
Glassco engaged in the hardware
business in South Dakota.
Mr.. Glassco came to Redwood Falls
about the year 1890, where he still
followed his trade as hardware
dealer. In 1895 he was united in
marriage to Julia Lichtwarck. To
this union three children were born,
two sons, John and William and
daughter, Madge, who died in infancy.
For twenty-five years Mr.. Glassco
was in the employ of the Maytag Co.,
retiring from active work, only when
his failing health compelled him to
do so. The past several years Mr..
Glassco has been in poor health, al
though it had only been recently that
he had suffered seriously.
The deceased man was a member
of the Episcopal Church, and was also
affiliated with the Elks and the
Knights of Pythias lodges. Mr.. Glass
CO was a man of unusual charm and
personality. His normal mood was
one of smiling geniality. To have his
friendship, and everybody seemed to
have it, was a privilege; to be in per-
sonal contact with him was to feel
that one was in the presence of sin
cere man, a Sympatnetlc spirit, al III
terested friend and a good citizen. In
his latter years of life, since he re-
tired from the salesman field, he took
active interest in the public and civic
affairs of the city.
The deceased is survived by his
wife; two sons, who are in business
in Faribault; two brothers, two sisters
and two grandchildren. Among those
from out of town who attended the
services were John Glassco, Faribault;
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Glassco, Faribault;
Frank Birkenmeyer and F. S. Birken-
meyer of Minneapolis; Margaret r.
Kelly, Aberdeen, S. D.; Mr.. and Mrs.
George Doster and Mrs. Penhall of
Morton.

BASKETBALL TEAMS
MAY REDLSTRICT
Class A and B Schools may Be
Combined In Basketball
Play by New Rule

Anticipating the readjustment of
the high school departments or the
Class B schools by the State Depart
ment of Education, the Board of Con-
troll presented the district committee
chairman, a plan for consideration in
redistricting the basketball teams of
the state. Class B schools would be
combined with Class A entries under
the new rules. In case the change
would go into effect, there would be
eight regions in the state, the same
number as at the present time, but
in each region there would be six
districts instead of four as there now
is.
Redwood Falls, at the present time
is in District 20, and have played
or will play, during the season, the
following teams: Winthrop, Fairfax,
Springfield, Sleepy Eye, Gaylord,
Morton, Lamberton, New Ulm and the
Departmental winners, which was
Morgan last year; this list making
up District 20.
In the event the new redistricting
program goes into effect, Winthrop,
Fairfax, Springfield, Sleepy Eye, Gay
lord, and New Ulm would be placed
into District 13, while Redwood Falls,
Belview, Delhi, Echo, Wood Lake,
Wabasso, Lamberton, Sanborn, Nor

Eye Next Friday

over Winthrop last Friday night, the
Redwood Falls High School team
scored it's eighth consecutive victory
of the season. without defeat; seven
of the games being conference tilts.
Running up 60 points in the game to
IL for the visitors, probably the larg-
est score ever piled up in the new
Lincoln gymnasium, the locals had
their own way at all times. Although
the first stringers played together
only few minutes during the con-
test, the score mounted steadily,
with the second string playing a big
part in the count.
Twenty field goals were count
ed for Redwood, while the visitors
gathered five, four of those going to
one man. Stockton started the game
using Laidlaw and Peterson at the
forward positions, johnson at center
and Corbett and Arnett as guards
From then on several combinations
were used at different times, giving
every man on the squad a good chance
to play.
Peterson again led the scorers with
seven field goals. Laidlow and Brav.
inder were each given credit for six
field goals. Johnson got four and g
free throw while Worsech gathered
two field markers. Corbett accounted

as, it is believed that an occasional

Resolved, by the Minnesota house
of representatives that we request
our chaplain, DR.. Frank Doran, to

When the. Minnesota house of rep

formed its first notable act of the
present session and created an inspir-

more solemn, but perhaps more pros

author of the historic resolution is
Representative o. III. Dahl of Lyle.
So there will be both prayer and
song, as well as oratory, in the capitol

under such benign influence are not
good laws, helpful, uplifting and pro-
gressive, the people Of Minnesota will
have reason to be luseply disappointed

There Will be Song, Prayer
and Oratory, Says Odla,d

Neither branch of the legislature
adjourned over the weekend on
Thursday. Each body held short
session, Friday, and then left for
Fort Smelling, in response to an invi-
tation from the commandant and
other officers.
AS yet, the reporters who are COW
ering this session of the legislature
can't devote much space to what has
been done but must resort to specula-
tion and predictions as to what will
take place later, in their efforts to
make copy for their papers.
The Budget and the University
The biennial budget of the Big
Three made its appearance in printed
form few days ago, one copy being
placed on every lawmakers desk. It's
a formidable document, almost as
huge as Webster's unabridged, and
I'm inclined to believe that the law
makers are no more apt to go through
it from cover to cover than they are
to read Webster's immortal work.
In a letter accompanying the bud
get, Commissioner A. j. Peterson in
forms the lawmakers that because
proper care of the states unfortu-
mates was the first consideration of
the Big Three in drafting the new
budget they propose to hold down
educational expenditures as much as
possible. Hence the University's re-
quest for $300,000 per year for new
buildings during the next decade is
disallowed. ssThere is no immediate
necessity for authorization of another

SALVATION ARMY
TO OPEN APPEAL
The American Legion of Red
wood Falls to Sponsor An
nual Service Appeal

The annual home service appeal of
The Salvation Army will be launched
in Redwood Falls, Jan. 81, Feb and
2, sponsored by The American Le-
gion, with Mr.. Donald Gold, chair
man. The committee appointed for
the work is made up of the following:
Parker Sanders, E. L. Spencer, E. H.
Bollum, l.. P. Winter, Gus Nelson and
J. C. Budik.
Commandant and Mrs. S. James
are in the city getting things in readi
ness for the appeal. Mr.. James is
: one of the Salvation Army workers
who went to France and stayed till
the Armistice was signed; he has a
record of 40 years with the organiza
tion in nearly all of its departments.
The Salvation Army is entirely de-
pendent on voluntary contributions in
its humanitarian work of uplift, creed,
color, nationality makes no difference
to these tireless workers, the fact of
a person being in need is the essential.
In the last twelve month, two ma
ternity cases have been taken care
of at The Womans Home and Hospi-
tai in St. Paul, from Redwood county,
and it is done entirely free if the
girl has no means with which to pay.
Last year $1,000 was raised in the
county, and it is hoped that as much
will be realized this year. The Com
mandant is sure that if every body
gets ready with a donation when the
Legion boys call the quota for Red
wood Falls of $500 will soon be rea-
iized, tag day will be arranged on
Saturday with which to finish the ap-
peal. A chairman in each township
has been appointed, and it is hoped
with every one doing his share, that
full quota will be subscribed in the
time given, Feb. 4th to 9th.
The ladies of the Legion Auxiliary
will do the residence district and tag
day.
