REDWOOD COUNTY
FORTY-FIFTH IN
AUTO FATALITIES

Redwood county stands forty-fifth
in percentage of 1888 auto fatalities
among the 81 counties of Minnesota
in a tabulation made in connection
with Minnesota public safety edu-
cational program.
The tabulation considers the num-
Der of persons killed in auto accidents
and the population of the county to
arrive at a rate per 100000 popula-
alton as a basis of standings. With
four killed during 1888 and popula-
ton of 20,620, the county's rating is
1910. Renville county also lost four
through car injuries but has larger
population and rates thirty-ninth.
With six fatalities, Yellow Medicine
county is seventy-fourth and Brown
county, with nine killed, is in seventy
sixth place.
Redwood, Renville and Yellow Med
icine counties escaped fatalities
through the first three months of this
year while Brown had one in Feb
ruary and two in March.
A drive to prevent accidents is CIV
en- momentum by the fact that fatal
traffic accidents increased 80 per cent
in the first quarter of 1884 compared
with the first three months Of last
year.

EMPLOYMENT
HAS PLACED 40 men
G. r. Engeman, Manager, Gives
Advice to Persons Seeking
Work or Workers

The National Unemployment serv-
ice office here has placed 80 men on
three road grading jobs and the
bridge job in this county up to the
present time, G. R. Engeman, man
ager, announced this week.
He added that it has been necessary
to obtain eight men from other coun-
ties, either because this county did
not have qualified men or those quail
flied failed to show the necessary in
formation on registration cards.
All registrants are urged by Mr..
Engeman to keep in touch with his
office, calling or writing at least once
each month to keep their card active
and show they are still seeking en-
ployment. At least one personal call
should be made to recheck the in
formation on the card.
The office has had several calls for
girls for homework. Any girls now
registered who will accept such work
should call and make the fact known,
also girls not registered should call
and do so to be eligible when the
calls for help come in.
A number of placements have been
made with private employers in many
lines of work and Mr.. Engeman urges
all employers to make use Of this
free service whether needing one en-
ployee or many.

though each voter will get sheet at
the primaries printed with all three
ballots, one must not vote for candi-
dates of more than one party or the
