Canada, trained at the University Of
Minnesota, a pastor of Minneapolis
and for the past 26 years a mission
ary of the Methodist Episcopal church
in Burma will occupy the pulpit at the
Methodist Episcopal church next

GAZETTE DRESSED
UP in CORN STALK
PAPER THIS issue
First Edition to Be Printed in
Redwood Falls on Corn
Stalk Paper.
rs PER CENT CORN STALK
Successful in News Print and
High Grade Book and Bond
Papers.

This issue of the Redwood Gazette
is printed on paper made from corn
stalks. This is the first issue of it's
kind to be printed in Redwood Falls
on the new cornstalk-wood pulp
paper and contains approximately 25
per cent cornstalk, per cent sulphite
and 81 percent ground wood.
1t has been known for many years
that fairly good paper could be manu-
factured from cornstalks, but no ex-
pertinent of a practical nature had
been made. A donation by congress
to the Iowa State College at Ames
for the purpose of experimenting with
cornstalks led to the proof that corn
stalks would not only make good pa
per, but almost countless other uses
could be found for products made
from the cornstalk and cob. The
number of these by-products are said
to number as many as 5000.
The present manufacture of corn
stalk paper is the result of Dan
vile, ILL.,, mill, established in a va
cant automobile factory. They have
gone into the project commercially
that already their output figures in
the market. 1t is believed that with
quantity production that the cost can
be cut down to equal, or almost equal,
the cost of paper produced from wood
pulp. Indeed, the Danville plant
claims already to be able to produce
paper as cheaply as wood pulp paper
is made.
That eventually the manufacture of
paper and by-products from corn
stalks and corn cobs will benefit the
farmer seemed certain. Who knows
but that in a few years, we will have
our own pulp mill here at Redwood
Falls. DR.. Edward F. Hubert, Chief
engineers of the Danville plant, was
recently quoted in the Minneapolis
Tribune as follows:
"The steel age is going to be sup
planted by the 'cellulose age, and
cellulose will clothe us and shelter
us, provide a complete line of SUBJ
stitutes for all sorts of wood leather,
stone and tile, and the materials for
making plants and paper.
1T is already giving the ladies fine
garments as soft and glossy as silk
at mere fraction of the former cost.
1t is already providing the paints and
finish for furniture, automobiles and
pianos, and the new brushing lac
quers that are so popular"
"Cellulose," according to DR.. Hui
bert, "is the cellular structural base

ed Boy" which will be presented at
the Lincoln School auditorium on
Friday evening, April 10th, has this
to say regarding the event:

CHURCH OF CHRIST
TO REBUILD SOON
Decision of Church Board Makes
Reconstruction On Same
Plot a Certainty.

Building plans for the reconstruc-
ton of the Church of Christ have
been made and list of the present act
ivities has been submitted for publi-
cation by Rev. Oscar Joneson, pastor
of the Church. The plans and details
follow:
At meeting of the congregation
last Sunday the Church of Christ
voted to rebuild on the present loca-
tion. The fact that the old founda-
ton is in good condition and that
there are enough cement blocks to
complete the walls was a large fact
or in this decision.
Tuesday evening members of the
official board met at the home of Mr..
Geo. Huhnerkoch to consider the
plans. At this meeting it was voted
that MIR. Harry Jones would not be
employed except for the preliminary
work which is already at hand. 1t
is expected that Mr.. c. D. Clipfell
will complete the detail drawings.
However, several weeks ago it had
already been voted that before con-
struction began the plans would be
sent to Mr.. A. F. Wickes, consulting
architect, of indianapolis, for sugges-
tions, and this plan will be carried
out. 1t is hoped that actual work can
begin in the early part of the month
of May.
Next Sunday afternoon in the ar
mory at 2:30 o'clock, another meeting
of the Board, heads of departments
and others interested will be held for
a further study of the plans, and
suggestions may be made for the ap-

AS a result of the interest shown
in the Broadway project that is be-
irg sponsored by the Redwood Falls
Commercial Club and the American
Legion, the City Council has offered
a substantial plan of aid regarding
the beautifying of Broadway. This
action comes in form of an open letter
from Mayor A. ]. White and is pub
lished herewith:
"a Committee from the Commercial
Club met with the City Council last
week in regard to the planting of
tfees in the center of Broadway, as
mentioned in your paper last week,
asking that the City pay one-half
the cost of purchasing Sc Siberian
Elms at a cost of $500 each, the
Commercial Club to pay the other
half and the American Legion Post to
do the work of planting except team
work, which was to be furnished by
the City.
"Some criticism has been made of
the action taken by the City Council
which I feel is not warranted if the
facts and conditions were fully under
stood. The Council Individually ex-
pressed appreciation of the interest
taken by the Commercial Club and
the Legion to increase the scenic
beauty of Redwood Falls, and felt
that they had, by their action, gone
considerably farther in their co-opera-
tion than had been asked of them
when they unanimously passed the
following motion:
The Council agrees to furnish
and establish proper grades for
curbing Broadway, either for
center or side curbing, doing the
necessary excavating or filling,
either for a single Or two way
street, and will furnish the usual
credit for the property owners
expense in three or more annual
installments, and will order said
curbing installed on a petition Of
the owners of a majority of the
property frontage in each block
SO improved The judgment of
the Council beir,y that the placing
of the street to the proper grade
would be too expensive to install
without proper curbing, and that
the City will pay up to $4,000
perblock for trees and shrubbery
in case of improving the center
of said street, or a uniform
boulevard on each side.
Zone of the finest additions to the
beauty of our streets would be the
installing of curbs, cutters and bou-
levards throughout the City and then
add to our storm sewer system to
dispose of flood waters at all seasons.
l believe the present Council would
welcome such a campaign, and its re-
cent action might well be seriously
considered by any and all property
owners.
"The building Of the proper grade
levels on Broadway is a matter of
considerable expense, and any hap
hazard planting of trees without re-
gard to proper grade levels would
certainly not be good business. The
later installing of a boulevard be-
tween trees would certainly be still
more expensive owing to the obstruc-
tion of the trees in operating a suit
able grading outfit.

AMENDED ACT MEANS
CLEAN SEED, IT'S SAID

The 1929 legislature passed and the
governor signed bill amending the
pure seed act of 1927. The bill was
sponsored by the Minnesota Crop I'M
provement association, officers of
which believe that the change in the
law will make it possible to obtain
absolutely clean seed of alfalfa, sweet
clover, timothy, and red and alsike
clover seeds, where as under the
terms of the original law such seeds
usually contained some seeds of nox-
ious weeds.
The amendment provides that when
a pound Of agricultural seeds sold
and used for planting purposes con-
tains ten or more individual seeds of
the primary" noxious weeds, the
label shall specify the exact number
and kinds of weed seeds found. When
there are less. than ten such weed
seeds by count to the pound of farm
field seeds, the word 'trace" shall
appear on the label together with
the names of the primary" noxious
weed seeds.
The amendment Classics as "pri-
mary" noxious weeds such plant
pests as quackgrass, sow thistle
Canadian thistle, leafy spurge, dod-
der, buckhorn plantain, horse nettle
and Austrian field cress.
