BUILDING LOST in
BLAZE DISCOVERED
SUNDAY MORNING
Farmers Grain and Fuel Co.
Elevator, with 5000 Bushels
of Grain Lost
ORIGIN OF FIRE UNKNOWN
Stockholders to Meet Next Fri
day Night MAY Buy or Build
New Elevator

Wabasso suffered it's first serious
loss from fire in several years when
the Farmers Grain & Fuel Company
elevator was totally destroyed last
Sunday morning. 1t is estimated
that approximately 5000 bushels of
grain was also lost in the blaze, be-
sides box car, which had been load
ed with rye was a total loss.
The blaze was discovered at 200
a. M, Sunday by several Wabasso
people who were returning home
from the Saturday night dances at
Lamberton. Alarm was given inn
mediately and the Wabasso Fire De-
partment answered the call in short
time, although too late to save the
elevator.
The fire was first seen to be shoot
ing out from a small door under
meath the loading platform on the
west side of the elevator next to the
railroad tracks. By the time the de-
partment had arrived the blaze had
caught the full grain car and spread
to the top of the building.
Realizing that it was useless to try
to save the elevator, the members of
the fire department directed their
efforts to the -four shed near the
elevator. This building, with it's con-
tents was saved. -,
The origin of the fire is unknown,
although it is quite an established
fact that it did not start from over
heated machinery. Loading of the
car of rye was completed at about
200 o'clock Saturday afternoon. All
the grain that was elevated between
the time the car was loaded at 200
o'clock and at the time the elevator
was closed at 900 p. M, Saturday
night, was 35 bushels, making it evil
dent that the fire was not caused
in this manner.
The 5000 bushels of grain lost in
the blaze consisted of rye, wheat,
barley and fax. The building and
all grain was covered by insurance.
The Board of Directors of the COM
pany held meeting Tuesday night.
At that time it was decided to call
a meeting of stockholders of the
company for next Friday night, to
further plans. 1t has been intimated
that one of the other elevators of
Wabasso will be purchased; if this
falls through; in all probability, a
new elevator will be erected.
The stock is mostly owned by
farmers in the community surround
ing Wabasso, with many of the stock
holders living near Redwood Falls.
The elevator was under the man.
agement of l. A. Haag of Wabasso.
Sam Wittwer is president of the COM
pany with John Arends secretary.

CHICKEN SEASON
CLOSING DEBATED
Survey of Game Wardens Being
Made; Sentiment of Sports
men Is at Variance

Sentiment varies among Minneso-
ia sportsmen concerning the propos-
al to close the prairie chicken shoot
ing season by executive order this
fall, according to a statement from
Game Warden j. Albert johnson.
No recommendation is to be made
by the game and fish commissioner
until a survey conducted by wardens
and sportsmen throughout the chick
en- range is complete. Numerous re-
ports received thus far indicate diff
ferences of opinion as to the advisa-
bility of closing the season, which
under the provision of the law, would
be open from September 16 to Octob-
er 1st.
1t has been suggested by several
sportsmen's organizations that be-
cause of scarcity of chickens, the
season be closed and in lieu thereof,
an open season be decreed on ring
necked pheasants in the southern Sec
tion of the state. The law provides
for an open season on chickens in
odd-numbered years and on pheas-
ants in even-numbered years.
While chickens are not plentiful
generally over their range in this
state, the hatch in many western To-
calities was good this season and an
encouraging increase is noted. In
these localities sentiment favors an
open season. Pheasants have had a
favorable season particularly in the
southern section of the state and
many sportsmen would welcome an
opportunity to hunt them this fall
but such a proposal is less popular in
localities where the introduced game
birds are not SO well established.
Thousands of pheasants Matched
early in the summer will be liberated
this fall. With the closing of the old
game farm at Mound all of the eggs
obtained by the game and fish de-
partment this season were distribut-
ed among chapters Of the Izaak Wal
ton league, sportsmen's clubs and
farmers interested in the propagation
of game. They were incubated un-
der domestic fowl and it is the prac-
tice to keep them in captivity about
two months after Matching before re-
leasing them in the wild state.
While best results have been at

ewPeddler Tricks
Persuade Purchaser to Give Post
dated Checks, Contrary to Law

Local banks report that peddlers
going through the country and sell
ing goods are persuading purchasers
to give checks on banks where they
have no accounts, the understanding
being that the parties giving the
checks are to 60 to the bank and de-
posit the amount of the check when
they next go to town. The practice
seems to be more OF less common.
The checks are usually small but
sometimes there is 4 series of them,
the post dated system having been
resorted to, the ide9 being to call at
the bank and leave the cash each
creamery pay day to redeem an out
standing and post dated check. The
action is illegal ,Tnd likely to lead to
trouble. No person should give a
check on a bank where he has no
account Regardless of the inten-
tions, the act is contrary to law. It
will be easy to forecast themes if
such a course became common.

interesting and inspiring talk before
making the presentation of the char

Club of Redwood Falls.
Mr.. Newcomb started his talk re-
vealing what the Lions Internation-
al has meant to the communities in
which clubs have operated since its
birth years ago. "The Lions clubs
are a product of the changing world.
Twenty-Five years ago there were no

Mint CAFE SOLD TO
DETROIT LAKES man
Mrs. w. S. Buchanan Sells Fam
Gus Restaurant; Will Make :
Home in Minneapolis

The Mint Cafe famous for its meals
for the past eight years has become
the property of new owners. Mr..
and Mrs. PA. Gottenborg of Detroit
Lakes, Minnesota made a deal with
Mrs. w. S. Buchanan for the pure
chase of the restaurant last ,Satur-
day. Possession was taken immedia-
tely.
Following rest and vacation, Mrs.
Buchanan, with her daughter, Anita
and SON Wilbur, will move to Mime
apolls, where the children will at
tend school. Mrs. Buchanan, in all
probability, will open a restaurant
IN Minneapolis or some other point,
after a rest.
Eight years ago the Buchanans
opened the doors of the Mint Cafe in
its, present quarters. Since then new
and modern improvements have been
added when necessary and a business
built up, excelled by none in this part
of the state.
Upon leaving Mrs. Buchanan stat
ed that she has greatly appreciated
the patronage given the Mint Cafe.
1T is my desire that the same good
will be extended the new proprietors
Of the Mint. The people of Red
wood Falls have been kind and it is
with the greatest regret that we
leave the city"
The present force employed il the
restaurant will continue work there.

EIGHTEEN BOlS IN
FARM PARTNERSHIP
Form Partnership with Parents,
Include Percentage Interests
in Beef and Swine

Eighteen Redwood County boys
are this year in partnership with
their fathers as a result of work
which was started by County Agent
Sheldon, and which is being continued
by the present agent, Nate H. Bovee.
Redwood is one of the two counties
in Minnesota which is sponsoring
this work and the present indications
are that the boys who can enter into
this arrangement with their parents
have fine opportunity to accumulate
assets which may later be used to
help them start in business or for
educational purposes.
During the past month Mr.. Bovee
visited all of the members in the
county and finds that in every case
the members are carrying out their
partnership agreements in an excell-
ent manner.
Some of the partnerships include
a percentage interest in beef or swine
herds while others include renting of
neighboring land, the junior MEM
Der using his parents equipment in
running the rented farm.
Parents and boys visited seemed
well satisfied with the arrangement.
Last year boys who wehe in partner
ship projects saved an average of
more than $3.50 and some of the
group went to the School of Agricul-
ture during the past winter, while
others used the money to purchase
machinery or livestock.
The ages of the boys ranged from
18 to 80 years.

Lions and Mates Roar as Presentation
Of Charter is Made By Gov Newcomb

chadising as compared with the mer.
chandising of years ago, before the
time of the auto and good roads, the
speaker continued, Business jeal.
ousy, envy and friction are among
the worst detriments to present day
merchandising. Today competition
is competition between communities
SO much more that it is competition
between local merchants"
The speaker dwelled at length on
present day merchandising and gave
an interesting theme of how the
chain stores effect the communities.
He strongly brought out the point
that while merchants were squabb-
lirg over a few pennies between
themselves, the dollars were rolling
down the road to neighboring town.
In closing Mr.. Newcomb stated,
Business goes where it is invited
and stays where it is well treated
Following his talk, the speaker pre-
sented the club with it's charter. 1t
was accepted, on behalf of the club
by President S. B. Duea, who in turn
gave short talk.
Introduction of the New Ulm Lio7s
and wives was made by a visiting
Lion, while Parker Sanders intro
duced the charter members and wives
of the Redwood Falls group.
Singing by all present, vocal
solo by T.. F. Reed and piano duet
by Mrs. H. V. Starr and Miss Beu-
lah Gilman made up the entertain
ment for the evening. The banquet
dinner was served by the Catholic
ladies.
