The question that is assuming great
magnitude in this island as the time for
the Presidents visit draws near is wheth-
or the people are in favor of or whether
they are opposed to Governor Pearson.
If instead of starting from east. as the
wise men of DID, we start from the west
we shall find strong sentiment In
favor of the Governor. This sentiment
has been kindled and is being kept alive
by a we'll directed campaign of interest

In their enthusiasm they cried "riot!"
when there was no riot. Before We

on the western front we had telephoned

Wild Geese Clear
River of Winter Ice

Anoka-The geese that saved Rome
by honking and awakening the sleep
ing sentries have nothing on the
geese around Anoka that cleared the
Mississippi river of ice last week.
Stewart Laird, superintendent at the
Coon Rapids dam always has many
acres of ice to cut out above the dam
each spring as a protection to the
dam when the ice goes. This year the
ice became very rotten and was of
spicula or needles. A big flock Of
wild geese, numbering 80 or even
more, alighted on the open water
above the dam amidst great honking.
Laird turned on all the lights on the
dam and the geese started at once to
swim up stream away from the lights.
They SWAN into the rotten ice, break
ing it up and continued up the river
some distance. 1t is thought to be a
Man Mississippi of ice. Next morn
ing at day break they rose in precise
formation and sailed away to the
north, still making noise that is
music to the nimrod only.

MOUNTAIN LAKE
BUCK SALE DREW
CROWD OF 1000

More than 1000 persons packed the
main street of Mountain Lake-popu-
lation 1,383-for the free buck auc-
tion Friday afternoon, "buying" gen.
erous prizes donated by the mer-
chants with considerable enjoyment.
Interest in the bucks developed in
the second and third weeks, mer-
chants said and trade was stimulated
considerably the last week before the
auction. They were particularly
pleased with the number who paid old
accounts during the promotion.
The auction there was sponsored by
the Mountain Lake Observer which is
published by Frank Bargen, president

tion. Mr.. and Mrs. Scott Schoen at
tended the auction and noted several

is a Remington 1853 revolver which
is said to have been the type used by
the James brothers in their famous
.handitry. The gun is of the six
shooter type.
The powder horn was obtained
from Don's uncle, Orson Wells, a
Civil War veteran who died in Red
wood Falls about five years ago.
The rail fence extends from the
east end of the station to the paving.
He plans to build log house near
the station which will be fenced in
with old rails if he can find enough.
Another relic is schnitzelbank, an
old German machine used to carve
out AK handles and other wooden OBJ
jects which he got from John Ma
1ecka near North Redwood.
Collecting relics, is apparently q
family trait as Don's father, Lee
Neuschwander, has in his possession
several wooden dough trays which
were used many years ago for bak.
ing. They are made of walnut wooc
and are about three feet long ano
one foot wide. Don's grandmother
Mrs. C. F. Neuschwander, has an ole
spinning wheel which her grandmoth
er gave her Is years ago.

New Ruling On AAA
Projects Explained

Regarding the recent ruling class
flying oats cut for hay well before
maturity or used for pasture as a
"non-feed" crop, Nate H. Bovee, coun-
ty agent says: t'1'
"This ruling applies only to oats
planted on non-contracted acres. Oats
may be sown on the contracted land
only if used as nurse crop and then
must not be harvested"
Another new ruling permits con-
tract signer having no market hogs
or feeder pig base, and unable to OBJ
tain the base of retiring producer,
to raise or buy few pigs to fatten
for market or home use. Still another
new ruling permits a contract signer
having hog base but not raising his
allotted number of market hogs in
1884 to buy limited number of feed
er pigs farrowed on farm under con-
tract in the same county from d pro-
ducer having no feeder pig base. Such
purchases or farrowings must be ap-
proved by the county allotment COM
mittee.

New Numbers Go
On Roads Friday

Remembering Of the state highway
system Friday, May 4 will be accom-
plished in less than one day, under
plans just announced by the highway
department.
Maintenance crews in every county
will start early Friday morning tax
ing down old numbers and replacing
them with new numbers on each road
affected by the REMEMBERING. Nearly
10000 signs will have to be handled
by the crews to make the road side
markers conform to the new 1884
highway map published in this issue
of the Gazette.
In the new system, Redwood Falls
is on two routes which completely
cross the state. The north and south
route, formerly 4, will use the federal
number II from where it enters Min
nesota south of Jackson to Internat-
ional Falls on the northern border.
The east and west route, formerly IA,
is now number 19 and extends from
the state line west of Ivanhoe to the
east line at Red Wing. Previously
the route ended at Gaylord. The route
from Redwood Falls to Morgan, and
Evan, ending at new Number 4, the
Fairfax-Sleepy Eye highway is num-
Der 80. The route from Lake Benton
| to Winona which runs through the
south part of the county now uses
only it's federal number, ID.
In REMEMBERING the roads, the high
way department took the lao new
routes authorized by the 1888 legis-
lature and consolidated them with the
II old state routes and 16 old u. S.
routes. Out of this total 227 different
routes, the department made system
of 125 routes.

Using Old Clothing,
Open Meeting Topic

Making Use of Clothing on Hand
will be the subject of the lesson to be
presented by Miss M. Lois Reid,
clothing specialist, University Farm,
at the big open meetings of the Red
wood county clothing project, begin
ming May 8.
This lesson will deal effectively
with a problem uppermost in the
minds of family clothing buyers,
many of whom will find it unusually
difficult this fall and winter to pro-
vide suitable clothes for the family.
The problem on most women's minds
is how to fix over old dresses. Miss
Reid will have many practical sug-
gestions for doing this at little cost.
Following is the schedule of meet
ings which will be open not only to
leaders and members of the clothing
project groups, but also to any other
homemakers who may be interested
in this work:
May 8, Tuesday afternoon, Red
wood Falls, Christian church auditor
IuIu, p. Ill.
May 8, Tuesday evening, Redwood
Falls, Christian church auditorium, 8
p. m.
May 9, Wednesday afternoon, Vesta
town hall, 2 p. m.
May 10, Thursday afternoon, Wa
basso, public school gymnasium, 2 p.
m.
Miss Reid will preface her discus
sion on the remodeling and the max
ing over of garments by discussion
of the style trends, including silhouet-
tes; neck, bust, waist and hip lines;
skirt length and fabric combinations.
This will indicate the kinds of alter
ations necessary to bring old gar
ments up to date.

BULLHEAD SEASON OPEN

Bullheads may be fished in all lakes
in southern Minnesota beginning May

Marshall said on receipt of a ruling
from the state game and fish depart
mept.
Many persons were confused, it
was found, as to whether bullhead
fishing began May or May Is. A
call to the department cleared the
matter up. They may be taken from
now on whether in intrastate waters
or not.
No other fish may be taken until
May Is except of trout in certain
counties.

Commissioners Get Lost
Inspecting County Roads

Hastings-there are at least two
members of the Dakota county board
of commissioners who will probably
frown over future petitions for more
gas tax roads in the county. AS far
as Commissioners H. B. Gackstetter
and A. E. Denzer are concerned, there
are too darned many roads in the
county now, and none of them seems
to go any place. Following in the
wake of other members of the COM

swallow enough dust to discourage
any but the staunchest spirits, then
their car broke down, and finally they
became lost in the country and were
not sure whether they were even in
Dakota county! Not constituting a
quorum, and having no desire to be
caught inspecting the roads of Good
hue county, the board minority voted
to return to Hastings.
