Residents of Reynolds
Township Over so Years
C. e. Clutches Has Just Completed
"a Years Service As Clerk
of the Town
CLong Prairie Leader)

Among the many old settlers of
the county the name of c. E..
Clutches, of Reynolds township, oc-
cupies place of honor. Not only
has he been a resident of that part
of the county for more than half a
century but for large part of that
time he has served his community
in public office. For 81 years he
has been town clerk. His friends
say that in reality he has filled this
position for the past 35 years. He
has also served as assessor and JUS
tice of the peace and in addition to
engaging in private business has
found time to take an active inter-
est in the general improvement of
the community.
Mr.. Clutches, who at present is II
years of age, first came to Todd
county in 1874 with his parents, the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Willard Clutches,
who moved here from Boone coun-
ty, New York. The family first
settled on the farm known as the
old Madjung place in Sank Centre
and for two years this was their
home. Later they moved to Rey-
nolds township settling first on the
old Smith farm which they punches
ed and few years later they pur-
chased the old Daniels farm, at
present owned by o. A. Lund.
When the family moved to the
Daniels farm there were only II
acres of land that were cleared so
that they could be used for farming
purposes. In fact all the land in
that part of the county was COW
cred by a dense woods at that
early day and an immense amount
of labor was needed before the land
was cleared and the territory be-
came the fertile and well built up
community it is at the present
time.
Mr.. Clutches father for time en-
gagged in business in Long Prairie
at the site of the present Joseph
Deuhs store. Mr.. Clutches, how
ever, felt no urge to leave the farm
and later established the store he
still operates. He became interested
in community affairs at an early
age and due to his knowledge of the
community was of great help in
organizing the affairs of the town
ship. AS already stated he has
served as town clerk for more than
q years and only the desire to re-
1inquish some of the responsibility

1000 Farmers Seek New
Homes in Gopher State
Ten Thousand Lakes Association
Has Inquiries From Every
State Concerning Farms

That interest in Minnesota farms
is increasing is evidenced by the
fact that in less than six months
2,141 inquiries have been received
at the office of the Ten Thousand
Lakes Greater Minnesota Associa-
ton.
In the flood of inquiries that have
come in response to the national
advertising campaign being spon-
sored by the Greater Minnesota
body, every state in the nation is
represented. The District of Col
umbia in which the nations cap
itol is. situated is the only section
of the country from which no in
quiries have been received.
Iowa leads all outside states in
the number of farmers who want
to come to Minnesota, and the AS

that state. New York is second in

he has had for so long, prompted
him to decline running for office
again this spring.
Mr.. Clutches was among those
who organized the Reynolds cream
cry. The first meeting was held at
his home and present at this meet
ing were Carl Peterson, James
Brown, Dick Richardson, w. W..
Brooks and M. J. Cort, of Mime
apolis, who is called the father
of the cooperative creamery move
ment." The first meeting was held
in 1903 and Mr.. Clutches was elect
ed the first secretary of the cream
cry which continues to be one of
the county's enterprising establish
ments.
Later the township made plans
for a comprehensive road building
schedule and again Mr.. Clutches
took leading part. Reynolds town.
ship today has one of the finest
road systems in the county, it be-
ing the boast of that community
that there is a road to every farm
er's door. Whenever there was
anything that he could do to fur
Their the interests of the community
Mr.. Clutches was always willing to
help and he still retains the same
intensive interest in community af-
fairs that he has displayed so many
times in the past.
In his younger days he not only
helped clear the land surrounding
his home but for time was also
log driver on rivers in the north
part of the state. Log driving is
now numbered among the lost arts
but in that day many of the young
men followed the adventurous life
of the river during the floating OF
the logs to the mill.
Bands of Indians were occasional
ly seen here so years ago, most OF
them on their migrations to fish
ing lakes, others selling articles to
the settlers. Mr.. Clutches remem-
bers no unpleasantness with the
redmen and said that they were
not so common as at the time
shortly preceding his coming to tins
county.
Charlie" as he is well known
by quite a large number, may be
found at his store every day. He
has noticed many changes in this
part of the county and has always
had a reputation of being willing
to help his neighbors when they
have been in trouble. AS one drives
through that part of the county to-
day it is hard to realize that 5o
wears ago it was once a dense
woods and that the fertile fields OF
the present time are the result OF
many years of the most strenuous
labor. It must be source OF great
satisfaction to Mr.. Clutches, as ne
gazes from the windows of his store
over the adjacent fields, that ne
took an active and important part
in the building of the community,
although it is with regret he re-
members that some of those VINO
were here at that time have now
moved to other parts while many
others have been called to their re-
ward.

PRISON PRODUCTS
BRING $3,7l6,7lO
Returns for Past Year Enable
Penitentiary to Continue
Without Tax Aid
TWINE INDUSTRY LEADS
Sales of Farm Machinery Also
Brings Money for New
Buildings

Gross sales of the products OF
the Saltwater State Prison indus
tries in 1929 aggregated $3,716, TIC
with Irvine the most important
product of the executive plant
maintained to occupy convicts and
which makes possible self support
of the institution without demand
for any funds from taxation.
Irvine production totaled 24,32O,-
2S0 pounds, while sales of farm
machinery were also large. A to-
tai of 1881 binders were sold; 4,O91
mowers; 4,0s9 rakes; 2,012 hay
leaders; 1,04S transport trucks,
and 1OS tongue trucks.
The industries at the prison are
operated under an accounting sys-
sem distinct from the prison
Based on payments made on paper
by the industries to the prison Tor
use of prison labor the tabulation
for 1929 shows a '1oss" of $27, lob,
while in 1928 the "loss" was $780,
9O4. Prisoners also are paid a
small sum for their labors by the
industries with which they are per-
mitted to purchase tobacco, books,
and other items which the prison
does not furnish.
Under the accounting system
employed the prison receives an
allowance for each day of the la
Dor of each inmate and the prison
in turn uses this for defraying cost
of maintaining the institution.
But, the operation of the indus
tries have been complicated by the
fact that there are many more pri-
soners than the industries require
and to keep the convicts employed
many more men are being used for
given tasks than would actually be
necessary. Thus the industries are
forced to pay the prison for men
not needed. However this all
works out as the primary function
of the prison is to maintain custody
of it's charges, members of the
state Board of Control explained.
From the proceeds of the Irvine
and machinery sales representing
profits in past years the prison OBJ
tanned funds with which additional
buildings have been constructed
and has built up revolving fund,
much of which is invested in raw
materials for the industries.
In addition temporary loans are
made from the state Investment
Board to provide operating funds,
which necessarily are the largest
just before the sales season begins
each year, for the industries must
have raw materials on hand
throughout the year.
Competition from private indus
tries in Irvine have greatly reduced
the profits from this activity in the
last few years. This year produc-
ton is expected to be on about the
same basis as in recent years.

Tourist Cars Coming to
State in Large Numbers
Some Foreign Tags Belong to Min
nesOta Residents Should
Be Reported

Tourist cars with tags represent
ing every state from Maine to CAL
ifornia, are again becoming numer-
GUS on the highways. With paved
roads extending from border to
border of the states east and south
of Minnesota, foreign cars are not
only the regular thing the year
around, but the summer tourist car
AVIAN starts much earlier than in
former years. - 81 g. g.
Among the cars with tags from
other states, according to a high
way bulletin, is the usual sprink-
ling of Minnesota residents who
have spent the winter in states like
California, where they pay a nomi-
nal auto tax but escape the per-
sonal property which residents of
these states must pay. Some of
these get Minnesota tags soon af-
ter they get home, but some try to
drive through the summer on the
foreign tags until they leave for tn.
south when winter comes again.
Minnesota's habit of showing ev.
cry possible courtesy to visitors
makes enforcement of the law
against auto tax evaders difficult.
The Minnesota resident with a for
eign license looks just like a bona
fide tourist on the highway, and
until there is definite information
showing that he is trying to evade
the tax, he is given the benefit Of
the doubt
Citizens who believe that all resi-.
dents of the state who own cars
should contribute to the building
and maintenance of highways, can
do public service by reporting
cases where residents of the state
are driving cars with foreign Ii
cense plates. The report may be

Forty Million Hear Story
of Minnesota on the Radio
Excellent Publicity Given Mime
sofa BY Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota Association

Minnesota is receiving unprece-
denied publicity this week through
the activities of the Ten Thousand
Lakes-Greater Minnesota Associa-
ton.
On Monday evening the state
experienced it's first radio broad
cast over a nation wide hook up,
the Great Northern Railway turn
ing over it's Empire Builder pro-
gram on the network of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Company to
the Ten Thousand Lakes-Greater
Minnesota Association. It is esti-
mated that more than 100000
radio listeners heard the program.
Frank S. Gold, of Minneapolis,
president of the Association was
one of the participants in the pro-
gram making a special trip to New
York for that purpose. During the
program Old Time, favorite char
acter of the Empire Builder hour
related "reminiscences of a bur-
lesque Indian pageant on the shores
of lake Minnetonka, to members OF
a bridge party on train. During the
conversation Frank Gold appeared
and was introduced as the Presi-
dent of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota Association. Mr..
Gold then told the members OF the
party of the beauties of Minnesota
and extended an invitation to visit
the land of Ten Thousand Lakes.
In addition to the national radio
broadcast the state is receiving
publicity this week at the National
Outdoor Life Exposition at the
Coliseum at Chicago where 100000
sportsmen are gathering material
from which to plan their summer
vacations.
The booth at the Outdoor Show
is being supervised by members OF
the office staff of the Ten Thou
sand Lakes Greater Minnesota AS
ISOLATION. Maps, resort and COM
munity folders, and large supply
of each of the publications of the
Association are being distributed
there and those seeking vacations
are given expert information con-
corning what Minnesota has to Of
fer. In addition to the advertising
literature which will be distributed
several thousand copies of the new
song hit "The Old Milaca Trail"
by George Joslyn, Minneapolis COM
poser, will be given to those visit
ing the Minnesota booth.

passable during the spring break
up, but there are still several thous-
and miles of the heavily travelled
trunk highways, to say nothing of
secondary roads, which cannot be
depended upon for all-year trans
portation.
In most sections of the state, the
graveled state aid roads were in
better condition than the trunk
highways, but as soon as the trunk
routes became poor, traffic shifted
to local roads and in many cases
did serious damage.
