ficials busy in other sections, the
needy of Redwood county and the
northwest have not been forgotten by
the organization. Several shipments
of clothing have been received here

Five times the charity work with
so per cent less money is the boast
of Robert V. Ochs, chairman of the
county chapter, who stated that more
than $1,000 worth of clothing and
two and one-half carloads of flour
were distributed among the destitute
in Redwood county during the year.
The clothing received here is at
the court house being unpacked and
sorted for immediate delivery to

ADDED TO
SEVENTH DISTRICT
in REWRITTEN BILL
Curious Arrangement Places
Each Farmer-Lab0rite
by Himself
PAUL KVALE IN SEVENTH
Hopes of Several for Term in
Washington Dimmed by
New Lineup

Redwood county is placed in the
seventh congressional district with
Paul Kvale of Benson as its congress-
man under the terms of a strange re-
districting bill approved by commit
tees of the house and senate and like
ly to become law after a fight which
has lasted more than two years.
The map is strangely distorted by
district lines which succeed in giving
each Farmer-Labor congressman a
district by himself, guarding against
loss of strength in the Washington
delegation in 1884. The revamped
first district has Francis Shoemaker;
the second, Henry Arens; the fifth,
Ernest Lundeen; the sixth, Magnus
Johnson and the seventh, Kvale. Other
Minnesota congressman include Theo-
dore Christensen in the fifth, Ray p.
Chase in the third, Harold Knutson
in the sixth and Einar Hoidale in the
third or fifth.
The new seventh district runs from
the middle of the state to the Iowa
line taking in Rock, Mobiles, Pipestone,
Murray and Lincoln of the old Sec
ond besides Redwood, and Lyon, yell
low Medicine, Renville, Lac qui Parle,
Chippewa, Kandiyohi, Swift, Big
Stone, Stevens, Pope, Douglas, Grant
and Traverse. The new second in
cludes Jackson, Martin and Fari-
bault on the south line and zig-zags
across to the Wisconsin line at Dako-
ia county.
More than one congressional candi-
date from this section sees his chances
ruined in the new bill. All Farmer
Laborites must face Paul Kvale to be
nominated while Republicans of the
district must swing strong Farmer
Labor counties particularly in the
northern part of the district. =

When Judge A. B. Gislason, 30
jurors, attorneys, plaintiffs, defend
ants and court visitors arrive at the
court house Monday to begin the

the smallest court calender in three
years.
Only 40 civil cases, 16 Of which are
new and "a are continued from the
fall tenn await the action Of the judge
and jury. There are no criminal
cases pending
Probabiy the smallest calendar here
in recent years was in the April term

In April 1850 only ss cases were on

SANBORN WOMAN,
SHOT BY BROTHER,
RECEIVERS QUICKLY
Ernest Weber Kills Self After
Wounding Sister-in-law;
Find No Motive

Springfield doctors stated Wednes-
day that Mrs. Carl Weber who was
wounded March 20 by bullet fired
oy her brother-in-law, Ernest Weber,
IS out of danger and will be able to
leave the hospital there soon although
the bullet is still lodged in her throat.
Ernest killed himself with the same
gun, a % calibre rifle, after the
strange attack for which no motive
has been found.
Ernest Weber had been i'll for
several days and was lying on his bed
in an upstairs room a few minutes
before the tragedy.
Mrs. Weber was sewing downstairs
and went upstairs to get some lace
from a closet. She apparently step
ped into a third room which adjoins
the room occupied by Ernest, but did
not go through his room.
It was while she was in the closet,
bending over to pick up something
from the floor, that the first shot was
fired. It entered the back of her head
and lodged in her neck.
David apparently heard the shot
and rushed downstairs and outdoors
where he told the maid, Miss Kossel,
to go to Mrs. Weber's room and care
for her. She found Mrs. Weber
slumped on the closet floor and Ern-
est, lying on his bed, shot through
the head.
Carl was called from downtown and
with David, took his wife to the hos
pital. Ernest, who was not taken
to hospital, died about two hours
after the shooting.
Redwood county officials, A. w.
Hubbard, coroner, L. ]. Kise, sheriff
and George A. Barnes, county attor-
ney, were in Sanborn Thursday ques-
tioning David, brother of Ernest who
was occupying a nearby room. He
offered nothing which would establish
motive for the attempted murder.
Mrs. Weber from her hospital bed,
also said that her husbands brother
shot her but gave no information as
to the motive.

81 QUILTS ENTERED
IN PALACE CONTEST

Ninety-seven quilts, the handicraft
of women in a radius of about 80
miles Of Redwood Falls, adorn the
walls of the New Palace and fill the
two large display windows.
They competed in the contest
which ended Tuesday night. Judges
are examining the quilts today and
will announce the winners tonight.
Nancy Finn, two-year-old daugh-
ter of Mrs. B. P. Finn, is the owner
of the oldest quilt in the show. Her
ITO year old display was the work of
her great great grandmother and has
been handed down from generation
to generation. The second oldest quilt
belongs to an Olivia woman and is
100 years old. Several of the exhibits
are between 60 and 80 years old.
One of the interesting displays is
the Postage Stamp which was made
of more than 5000 pieces of material.
Another is the "Grand Army of the
Republic" and represents the work of
mothers and wives of Civil war sold
iers with the name of the makers
sewed in each diamond. Material in
one of the quilts dates back to civil
war time while one is entirely home
spun.
The judges, Mrs. A. F. Abraham of
Belview, Mrs. H. O. Johnston Of Nor
gan and Mrs. Julius Christensen of
Redwood Falls are judging the quilts,
considering color scheme, workman
ship and beauty of design.

Arends Suggests Bill of Fare
For Needy Families;
Gets Approval
ELIMINATE ALL FRILLS
Vacant Lots in City to Become
Gardens Under Plan of
Relief Association

Faced with the necessity of provid-
ing food to many families at a mini
mum Of cost, the county commissions
ers this week approved two plans de-
signed to reduce taxes for poor relief.
The first plan will place each needy
family on strict ration basis deter
mined by the number in the family
while the second will provide garden
space where the unemployed must
raise their vegetables if they wish to
receive aid.
John Arends, chairman of the
board, suggested the ration system
and it was adopted after careful con-
sideration. A copy of the ration al
lowed will be given to each family
and to each grocer and families will
be allowed food accordingly. Mr..
Arends stated that too much was
spent for frills instead of plain foods
under the old system. Each commits
sioner will see that the plan is car
ried out in his district.
The plan to have Redwood Falls
poor do their own gardening with
lots and seeds furnished by the city
and county is expected to Tighten the
relief load which has been carried
here by subscriptions and taxes. c.
A. Lauterbach, secretary of the Relief
association, reported that rs lots are
available in the city and land at the
county home will also be allotted if
needed.
The gardens will be closely super
vised and relief will be refused to
able-bodied persons who fail to make
use of the opportunity offered. A
room at the county home may be set
aside for use while canning veget-
ables, also under supervision.
L. P. Winter and DR.. George A.
Alexander, members of the relief as
ISOLATION, presented the matter to the
board, stating the association feels
great economy must be practiced to
reduce the burden as much as posi-
BILE.
According to figures which Mr..
Amends has given needy families and
storekeepers, the following amount
of food is allowed for a month, based
on family of four and lowered or
raised according to the number in
each family: so pounds flour, one bu-
shell potatoes, four pounds bacon,
three pounds side pork, two pounds
coffee, ten pounds oatmeal, four
pounds lard, five pounds navy beans,
four pounds dried prunes, A pounds
butter, ten pounds sugar, four pounds
rice, one ten cent can baking powder,
one ten cent bag table salt, two pack
ages yeast, six bars laundry soap, two
boxes matches, two gallons kerosene
and one gallon table syrup.
Leon H. Brown, attorney for the
Redwood County Tax association,
appeared before the board Tuesday
morning and stated that unless the
board cancels the present county
printing contract action will be taken.
The board took no action on the mat
ter.
