Thanksgiving Dinner
Ends in Aches, Pains,
Pumps-False Alarm

Guests are always uncomfortable
after a Thanksgiving dinner, if they
aren't the dinner wasn't quite sue
cessful, but few have suffered this
narrowing experience.
1t seems that a certain Minnesota
family gathered on Turkey day, as
was it's custom, and partook of an
elaborate dinner with all the trim
mings, even to mushrooms.
Dinner over, the scraps were
gathered up and placed where the
family hound would have access to
them.
Soon after, a member of the fam
lily discovered the dog, cold and dead
in the yard.
Immediately the mushrooms were
suspected. A member Of the family
felt ill, then another complained.
Soon all were aching and paining.
Two doctors were called. Ptomaine
poisoning symptoms were described.
Everybody had them. Stomach pumps
were procured and pumping treat
ments administered on 20 portions of
turkey, with trimmings. Everybody
felt better.
Now for the climax. A neighbor
lady calls, apologies and sympathizes
for having run over the dog with a
car and killing him.

the general public.
No. 1.-The issue should be ap-
proved. 1t can't be avoided. The con-
struction work would also furnish
work to many unemployed.
No. 12-I am decidedly in favor of
the issue. If the sewage situation is
not taken care of now it will bring
future actions against the city and
incur considerable amount of ex-
pense.
No. 13-Just as Mr.. Brown pointed
out the city will have to stand the
expense of law suits. The issue should
go through.
No. 1--we can't get along with
out disposal plant and as there is
no money available for it the best
way to finance it is through the is
suance of bonds.
No. 15-Although I am in favor OF
sewage plant, it remains a fact that
taxes in Redwood Falls last year
were 1871 mills and for next year will
be 1T mills. What will it be if we
issue the bonds?

PLAN TOWNSHIP
MEETINGS in WAR
ON BANGS DISEASE
Farmers to be Asked to Allow
Test of Herds, Slaughter
of Sick Animals

In an effort to stamp out Bangs
disease among the cattle of Redwood
county, six township meetings have
been scheduled for the final week in
December to obtain voluntary signers
to contracts permitting herds to be
tested. AS letters have been sent to
all township chairmen in the county,
other meetings are excepted to be
called that week.
Five meetings have been set for
December 27 at p. m. in Dahlgren's
hall, North Hero township, Schroeder
hall, Vesta township, Wabasso city
hall, Vail township and Simondet
hall, North Redwood, Honnor town.
ship and at 1880 in school district 4
Redwood Falls township. The sixth
meeting will be held December % at
Belview for Kintire township.
1t has been pointed out by the I'm
tied States Department of Agricul-
ture that Bangs disease is probably
the most serious disease of dairy cat
tie from an economic standpoint. At
fected cows, on the average, give
from 20 to 25 per cent less milk than
healthy cows and the loss of calves is
another effect.
The same germ that causes Bangs
disease in animals causes undulant
fever in humans. The dairyman, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bovee, should consider
the possibility of persons contracting
undulant fever from Bangs disease
germs in raw cows milk.
Cattle which react to the tests will
be sold to market for slaughter. The
tests will be conducted by veterinar-
ians approved by the Minnesota State
Livestock Sanitary board.
Maximum indemnities of $40 for
grade animals and $50 for purebred
cattle will be paid by the federal gov
eminent to the owner of the reacting
animals, who has signed test sub
INITIAL contract In addition the owner
will receive the net salvage value of
the carcass when the animal is
slaughtered, provided the total of the
net salvage and the indemnity does
not exceed the appraised value of the
animal.
Estimates show that about IL to Is
per cent of the cattle in Minnesota
are afflicted with the disease, which
is spread chiefly by diseased cows.
The owner of a clean herd, Mr.. Bovee
warned, should be exceedingly care
full in purchasing animals to prevent
the introduction Of diseased cows.
Cattle can acquire the aff1iction, he
stated, from being kept in a barn
where diseased cattle have been
quartered. After removal of the dis
eased cattle the barn should be clean
ed and disinfected.

CARDINALS BOW TO
HUTCHINSON 2l-9:
PLAY SPRINGFIELD
inexperienced Team Outclassed
By Veteran Visiting
Squad Friday

Their last home game before the
holidays, Redwood Falls High school
cagers will play Springfield Friday
night In what promises to be a close
battle. Both teams will be contenders
in the district meet next Spring.
Held without field goal until the
closing minutes of the final quarter,
Redwood Falls went down to PIG
defeat before an experienced Hutch
inson cage team Friday night in the
Lincoln school auditorium.
The Cardinals put UP a good
enough defense but were weak on the
basket shooting side of the situation
showing the need of a little more
polishing in putting the ball through
the net. Those who witnessed the
game should not be pessimistic over
the teams poor start as the boys are
mostly inexperienced and should i'm
prove as they get a few games under
their belts.
Hutchinson brought veteran ag-
gregation composed of five lettermen
who were expert ball handlers but
had difficulty in working the ball in
for short shots. The Orange and
Black converted five field goals from
beyond the free throw circle while
their remaining three were made
from in close.
Redwood Falls did not score a
point until midway in the second
quarter when Steve Inglis, who play
ed fighting game until forced to
leave on personals, dropped in free
throw after Hutchinson had register
ed six points. The half ended at 6-1.
Hutchinson sailed the game away
in the third period marking up three
baskets and two free throws while
the Cardinals were only able to count
free toss by Nerve Wolverton. In
the fourth quarter, Cubby Thomson,
who hadn't had his hands on the ball
much through three periods tossed in
a short shot over his head for the
Cardinals first basket Of the game
and of the season and followed few
moments later with a similar per-
formance, making him high score
man for Redwood Falls with four
points. Cole, Paffrath and Ralph
Tenney completed the Cardinals
scoring each converting a free throw.
For Hutchinson Klovstad, Albrecht
and Schultze stood out.
In preliminary contest NJ. v. Nc
Curdy's Junior High squad put on a
second rally led by WEIGH, who made
five baskets and free throw to win
from an intra-mural aggregation

Cross-SectiOn of Voters Shows
Sentiment for Completion
of Treatment Plant

Because Of the considerable inter-
est revolving about the 100000 bond
issue for the completion of the sew
age disposal plant which will be SUBJ
mitted for acceptance or rejection to
the voters of Redwood Falls at the
city elections January 8, the Gazette
has sought to ascertain the sentiment
of the electorate toward the issue.
Fifteen voters, representing cross
section of the city, have been inter-
viewed and asked to give their stand
on the question. Of the Is only two
voiced an objection to the issue, al
though without hesitation they too
saw the necessity of the disposal
plant, dissenting chiefly on the fact
that they believed taxes already at a
peak.
Following are the comments of the
Is voters the names Of whom have
been withheld for various reasons:
No. THE sewage plant should
have been completed long before, but
because of the present overburden of
taxes I don't believe that the bond
issue should be approved.
No. 2-Something should be done
about the sewage system and the on
ly way this can be taken care of is
by issuing the bonds.
No. 81 believe the bond issue
should go through. If the disposal
| plant were constructed it would clean
up the river and make possible the
damming of it at North Redwood.
No. At means the spending of
money either for law suits or the
disposal plant, so believe that the
bond issue should be approved and
the money spent on something worth
while and necessary.
No. 5-The sewage plant is badly
needed. Redwood Falls is natural
trade center, people coming here
from miles around and we've got to
do something to keep it up to stand
ard. The construction of the plant
would restore the river for swimming
and fishing such as we had years ago.
1 believe the people living along the
river where the sewage is dumped
have a right to complain.
No. Eve have no alternative. The
plant should have been constructed
long ago. The present system would
eventually ruin our park.
No. THE disposal plant should
be completed. If we don't do it volun-
tarily, pressure will be brought to
bear against us to remedy the situa-
ton.
No. 81 am in favor Of improve
ments and the bond issue. If the plant
us not built the city will waste money
fighting law suits.
No. 9-One of the most beautiful
scenic spots in the entire United
States for its size was being ruined
by the dumping of the sewage in the
park. The issue should be approved
and the construction of the plant be-
gun as soon as possible.
No. 10-The issue should go
through for the good of the health Of
