Adults, Not Youth,
Changed, DR.. Cratz
Tells Methodists
Former Pastors Here to Help
Celebrate Sixty-Fifth An
niversary of Church

Deriding the idea that the young
people of today are different from
youths of any other generation, DR..
w. E. ]. Gratz, editor of the Epworrh
Herald published at Chicago, gave
the final address, entitled "The Un-
spanked Generation" on the program
of the sixty-ffth anniversary OF the
Methodist church here Sunday eve
ming.
Our young people are not to
blame for the adult-made civilization
they have been thrust into" he de-
clared, their so-called lack of re-
spect for law is but the result of the
spirit of unrest which pervades the
circles made up of their parents and
other adults. In attempting to ape
their elders they have developed a
blase attitude which is entirely mis-
leading. Underneath they still dream
the dreams of youth and their ideals
and ambitions are no different from
those of children of similar ages in
any generation.
until parents develop a more
substantial home life, a new interest
in the ideals of their children and at
tempt to mold a character in the
formative years which will be safe
guard under any conditions, no
change can be made" he stated.
To celebrate the anniversary of the
founding of the church, program
for members and the public in gen.
eral was arranged by the pastor, Rev.
G. E. Martin assisted by commit
tee of members including A. C. Bur-
meister, F. w. Stanton, T. A. Whit
tet, L. E. Backer, F. G. Hubbard and
D. L. Crimmins.
To begin the celebration dinner
was given in the church parlors Fin
day evening which was attended by
100 church workers, former pastors
and friends. Guest speakers were
Rev. N. de M. Darrell of Minneapolis
and Rev. H. F. Alderman of st. Paul
who in an informal manner recalled
many personal experiences during
the time of their pastorates here.
This was followed by service IN
the main auditorium of the church at
which time Rev. E. C. Horn of Man
kato, district superintendent presiA-
ed. Guest speakers were Rev. F. A.
Gone of st. Paul, pastor here in July
1885 and again from October 1887 ~

Other Bidders
WILL COST S11,953.17
Only County Labor to Get Jobs
on Big Project to Start

The new North Redwood hill road
will be built for $11,953.17, it was
decided Tuesday morning when II
bids were opened and the contract
was awarded to B. J. Schmitz and
Son, Wabasso, low bidder.
Although nearly 80 Redwood coun-
ty and other road contractors seemed
in the contract, only II
entered bids after seeing the proper
lions of the job.
The commissioners, county engin-
eer and other county officials ex-
pressed surprise when the bid of
Mr.. Schmitz was found to be appro-
$4,000 lower than they had
estimated and nearly $4,000 lower
than the nearest bidder.
All County Help
It was agreed between Mr.. Schmitz
and the commissioners that only Red
wood county men will be employed
in replacing the present rough and
steep road with a modern and beau
tiful one
The Schmitz construction company
is now working on road near VIM
dom and will begin construction here
in about three weeks if fair weather
continues, Mr. Schmitz stated. The
road will not be finished this fall.
Starting at the cemetery and cut
ting through the present dumping
grounds, the road will follow the
bluff down the hill west of the Will
liam Lindeman farm occupied by
Roy Castle to the bottom where the
present road crosses the railroad
tracks. The commissioners agreed
to build the road after the city coun-

FLYING SHERIFF"
SELLS PLANE TO
MONTANA FARMER
Was Source of Much Publicity
for County; Hangar to
be Torn Down
AIRPORT ABANDONED
Took First State Prisoner to
Saltwater; Pilot Undecid-
ed on Plans

The famous L. ]. Kise airplane
which has chased robbers and deliv-
cred criminals for several months has
been sold to Miss Alice Davis of
Wibaux, Montana.
Sheriff Kise, known as the Flying
Sheriff." has been dealing for several
weeks with interested buyers. Miss
Davis is the daughter of ranch
owner in Montana and has been in
terested in aviation for some time.
The plane gained statewide publ
city when it hoped to Geneva, Hi
nois and brought back Joe Jetland
who had escaped from the Redwood
county Jail while serving time for
stealing part of the "Battleship Min
nesota."
This summer the sheriff delivered
Gust Allen to Saltwater, the first
prisoner ever taken there BY air.
Newspapers all over the country used
the story and pictures of the party.
The states only flying sheriff"
stated after the deal was closed that
he is pleased with the contract al
though he hates to see the plane 60.
He said that although many Redwood
county people do not feel the same,
he never has regretted owning the
ship and believes it afforded the
county additional protection. He feels
that Redwood county received more
publicity from the plane than almost
anything else done here.
Jack Robinson, pilot of the plane
since the sheriff purchased it, has not
decided what he will now do but plans
to remain in aviation. 1t is under
stood that he has been offered the
job of plotting the DR.. Young broad
casting station ship at Minneapolis
but has not accepted.
The hangar which Mr.. Kise has
been using east of Redwood Falls
will be torn down and the field again
sowed to grain. The building may
be purchased for use as a machine
shed or Mr.. Kise may tear the hangar
down and use the wood for other
purposes.

STORTS ice HOUSE,
BARN DESTROYED
In 100000 FIRE
Largest Fire Loss Here Since
January 1881; Team,
Goat Perish

Fire which destroyed the j. L.
Storts barn and icehouse on the
northwest bank of Lake Redwood Fri
day night causing loss of approx
mately $4,000, of which $3,25O was
covered by insurance, broke out anew
Saturday morning requiring second
fire call.
Two horses, Niger and Duke, we'll
known throughout Redwood Falls
for their work on the delivery wagon
and in holiday parades, persisted in
the flames Friday night and Al
club goat won by Earl Storts in a
contest last spring. also was lost with
truck and wagon.
The call Saturday morning was
necessary when flames broke out in
the smouldering straw packing around
the layers of ice remaining. 1t was
soon quelled with water pumped
from Lake Redwood.
Hundreds of persons stood on the
banks of the lake and along Highway
No. ID Friday night, watching as the
flames gained Roadway first in the
barn where the fire started and later
in the ice house and lighthouses near
by. A great tongue of flame swept
across the lake as the fire reached
it's peak, throwing out sparks not I'M
like a fireworks spectacle and reflect
ing on the water to light up the skies
so that the fire could be seen for
miles.
Most of the many tons of ice stor-
ed in the house from last winter were
saved although some of the large
chunks near the flames melted to
small pieces. Mr.. Storts stated after
the fire that the five layers Of ice
which were in the house are still
there and the sun probably will
destroy more ice than the flames.
The fire was first noticed by Helen
Storts, daughter of the owner, as
she was returning home from town.
She saw flames shooting up and told
her father that the straw pile was
on fire at the barn. He went down
and found the barn all in flames. An
instant later the ice house burst into
smoke and flames.
Joseph M. Corbett, chief of the
department, stated that gas from the
oil soaked flax straw used for pack
ing had accumulated in the ice
house as the heat from the barn
struck it. When sparks blew into the
building, it ignited.
Mr.. Storts stated that he intends
to rebuild but as yet has made no de-
finite plans. Ice deliveries were made
Saturday morning as usual.
The property loss was the great
est of any fire in the city since the
Charles F. Gales fire in January
1881. Friday nights call was the only
one in September. Many of the fire.
men were called away from enter
tainments and meetings of import
ance.
