to get them. Mighty few people have
allowed them to stand. Furthermore,
there will never be more favorable
year for getting rid of them. All
spots should be plowed, worked a
time or two and then replowed with
the rest of the field as early in Aug
ust as possible. Next year it is pro-
posed to put two large signs at each
end of highways No. II, IA, and z.
One sign for folks coming in to read:
This is Redwood, "Cleanest County
in Minnesota; Don't Look for Thistles
Because There Aren't Any"
The other sign for folks leaving
Redwood county will read:
"You Are Leaving Redwood

In the meantime, let's clean up the
thistles that are left. This is tbs
time to do it.-County Agent.

THIEVES ENTER NEW ULM
STORE; TAKE $225 CASH

One or more yeggmen entered the
Schulke Department store in New
Ulm sometime Wednesday night last
week, forced open a safe and secured
about $225 in currency and silver.
Checks and pennies were scorned. A
checkup revealed that valuable pa
pers were intact.
They entered through the rear door
in the basement. The combination
knobs on the outer doors of the safe
were knocked off, enabling burglars
to open the strong box after they had
forced open the two inner doors with
a long section of galvanized pipe.

NUMBER OF MARRIAGES NOT
AFFECTED BY ''5-DAY" LAW
by KET

The five-day wait for marriage
licenses which was made law by
the state legislature last April, has
had little affect upon the number OF
weddings in Redwood county so far
this year, according to figures fur
nished by w. G. Weldon, clerk Of
court.
The number of licenses issued in
May and June this year were not
above the average for these months,
but they exceeded the number dur
ing these months in some recent
years.
Because Redwood county is not a
borderline county Of the state, it has
been a mecca for outstate couples
seeking licenses. Since the law went
into effect three couples from other
states have taken out licenses to wed
here and this is regarded as an
average number for the same per-
iod in other years.
Twenty couples secured the right
to wed here during June while nine
were licensed in May. June in both
1880 and 1929 saw Is licenses issued
while the record for 1928 was the
same as this year. Twenty-one were
issued in June 1927 while 1926 holds
the record for recent Junes, with 20
The record Nay among recent
seasons was in 1880 when 16 were
licensed. Other May records are:
1929, z; 1928, IL; 1927, 13 and 1926
IL.
The yearly totals for recent years
are strikingly regular with 1921, the
year the boys returned from the
army, holding the record of 1913.
The 1880 total was 148 which was
six below the 1929 record. In 1925
and 1923 the clerk of court here is
sued 145 licenses. In 1927 the tota
dropped to 129 while other records
are: 1926, 100; 1925, Isl; 1924, 159;
| 1923, Ids and 1922, 157.

EVERY CLOUD HAS
A SILVER LINING

Potatoes are small and few in a
hill, small grain has been hit by dry
weather and heat, corn ditto, hay
likewise. Pastures are so short that
the cows get worn out trying to find
a spear of grass. Flies are bad and
the almost constant hot weather
makes horse work slow. The balance
between farm products and things
that one buys continues to be at a
discouraging angle. The dry weather
continues. Can anyone think of
something else of which to complain ?
And yet-in spite of all the griev-
ances, discouragements, disappoint-
ments and mosquito bites, Redwood
county farmers have been hitting the
Canada thistle for home run. The
1880 clean up appeared encouraging
but the 1881 results show up even
better. Any farmer from Redwood
county can throw out his chest and
exclaim with justifable pride that he

Minnesota"
Sam Hammerbeck, tSate Weed
Inspector, spent day in Redwood
county recently. He was delighted
with the spraying, blowing, cutting,
etc. and stated that Redwood county
farmers were maintaining their good
lead in weed eradication. He was
greatly concerned over the future
sustenance for the thistle web worm
but his anxiety was dispelled when
he was assured that our trainers
would plant sunfowers to feed their
little friends after the thistles were
completely annihilated. Mr.. Ham
berbeck said to tell the people that
Redwood county folks surely were
showing the state of Minnesota how
to clean up. And he will tell them
all as he visits the other counties.
There probably are some thistles

CANAL CONTRACT OPPONENTS
GIVE OUTLINE OF PROGRAM

Explanation of a few of the diff
ferences between the proposed ALL
American canal contract and that
presented to Secretary of Interior
Lyman d. Wilbur at contract hear
ingS in Washington, October %, by
the Water Rights Protective asSo-
ciation, were made yesterday by Don
Bitter, local attorney and secretary
of the association.
The association presented a COM
plete contract containing the ideas
and aims of the association with the
idea, said Bitler, of establishing the
water rights of Imperial Irrigation
district land owners. The contract
as so presented was drawn to deal
directly with the United States gov
ernment and the present district,
leaving out of consideration Goa
chella Valley and all outside lands.
The proposed or original contract
as prepared by the district, Bitter
explained, contains the water allo-
cation agreement. In the asSocia-
ton contract, the agreement is
stricken out and taking its place is
q detailed description of what the
association considers the actual
equities and priorities of the district
to water of the Colorado river, with
out giving up any rights belonging
to the district.
The purpose of the association S
contract" said the attorney, ''is to
bring about the building of the ALL
American canal and Imperial dam.
Our plan is a constructive one"
Quotes Water Rights
Article II in the association con-
tract deals with establishing water
rights. Priority in perpetuity estab-
lished by the district as of July,
1881, was quoted as "2,403, 700 acre
feet annually on a basis of 100000
acres in the district, over period
of 10 years. This gives the district
four and one-half acre feet of wa
ter per acre OF land for a period
of one year, or sufficient to grow
a crop" Bittler explained. The
figures, he said. were taken from
Imperial Irrigation district records.
A second section of the same ar
ticle deals with remaining lands not
under cultivation, not necessarily in
the district but lying within Imperi-
al county. To that land is allotted
100000 acre feet on the same basis
as used in arriving at the district
allotment.
A third section of Article II, said
Bitter, recognizes the old Colorado
river compact regarding delivery of
water to lands in Mexico.
1t does not recognize the Mexican
priority right as in perpetuity, Bit
Ter points out.
Third priority to the district is

million Britishers went to the polls
today to choose SAT members of
the new house of commons in
bright, cold weather-except in
London where the heaviest fog of
the season impeded polling.
Bell ringers were employed in
southwest London TO guide voters
to the polls. Fog delayed opening
of some voting booths. The tenn
perature was near freezing.
An unprecedented interest in the
election was reported from all parts
of the country. Many electioneer-
ing automobiles were driven by
girls wearing furs and mufflers.
There appeared little doubt OF the
victory Of the National government
led by Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald. With the exception Of
rural and university divisions, the
votes will be counted tonight.
Conservatives claimed a minimum
of 800 seats giving them a major
ity of 45. Unless they obtain many
more than $50 seats they will have
to cooperate with the National gov
ernment to insure a working ma
jority. In that case reactiorary
elements cannot demand the elm
ination of Macdonald and the for
nation of a pure conservative gov
ernment as soon as possible
Labor leaders claimed minimum
of $50 seats. meaning that labor
would be the official opposition
party.
A bitter election campaign marked
by unusual rowdyism was climaxed
by serious disorders in North Ken

which hooligans freely used razors,

Four students who suffered razor
cuts were taken to hospitals. Less

were called to quell disturbances at

After having previously an
nounced that the confessed slayer
would make no further attempts
to block her removal to Phoenix.
Attorney Louis Russill said change
in defense plans had been made.
Russill stated that an error had
been found in the extradition pa
pers brought to California from Ari-
zona and that when they were
signed by Governor James Rolph
it was the defense intention to force
a court review of the documents.
The defense already has been
granted a writ of habeaS corpus,
preventing removal of Mrs. Judd be-
fore November 3, when arguments
are to be held on it. Until today
it was indicated the defense would
waive this writ.
Russill said also that it was his
intention to have Mrs. Judd exam

to having Mrs. Judd using an in

The woman stated previously that
her sole plea would be self defense.
