Paris Purchases

Back in 1926, for example, Con- gress authorized the expenditure of $300,000 for acquisition and re- pair of an Ambassadors residence in Paris. Tn the same year a plot of land in the French capital was acquired at a cost of 1,219,000 for centralized office building.
 This building has just been com pleted at a cost of $1 ,275, 1000, mak- ing a total capital investment in Paris of something like S2,794,000 In Berlin a few years ago the Am erican government bought an acre and a half of land in the heart oi the city for $1,705, 900. When this is improved with an office building which will include the Ambassa- dors residence and offices for al American representatives in Der lin, it is estimated that the total cost will approximate two and a half million dollars.

INTEREST DOUBLES
AS AUCTION NEARS

Interest in the big auction of free
merchandise at Redwood Falls May
IL has doubled in less than week,
which leads merchants to predict that
it will accomplish all the purposes for
which it is staged.
The primary purposes are to pro-
mote good will between the buying
public and the merchants taking part
and to stimulate buying.
The program was launched two
weeks ago and few persons already
have a good supply of the free
''bucks" which are given with pur-
chases at nearly so stores. However,
there are hundreds Of prizes which
will be sold for "bucks" at the auc-
tion and there is plenty of time yet
to save enough for worthwhile
prize.
Elsewhere in this issue is COM
plete list of the prizes donated by
merchants and of the firms which are
giving 'bucks" with sales. More in
formation about the auction will ap-
pear in next weeks Gazette.

l22 DELINQUENT ON
PERSONAL PROPERTY
TAX; NUMBER SMALL
Sheriff Kise Says Number is
Half Usual List; Must be
Paid Before June l

Persons delinquent in the payment
of their last years personal property
taxes may expect visit from the
county sheriff soon.
Frank Baldwin, clerk of court, turn
ed over the personal property tax
warrants to Sheriff L. j.. Kise last
week for collection. The amounts
range from II cents to $326.91. The
delinquents are spread throughout
the county, the sheriff said with no
large amounts in any certain terri
tory.
Sheriff Rise has until June 1 to
collect these taxes. If they are not
collected by that time, judgment will
be entered against the delinquents
in district court next fall.
Mr.. Kise stated that the amount
this year is about half as large as in
other years and he gives for the rea-
son that people are becoming more
accustomed to paying taxes without
borrowing and are saving through the
year for tax time.
Clerk Baldwin received from the
county treasurer the early part Of
April a list of about 1875 unpaid per-
sonal property taxes to be collected.
Since that time several paid and now
there are 122 to be collected by the
sheriff. =

SANBORN TRUCK
RUINED BY FIRE
ON MORTON HILL
Explosion of Gas Tank Damages
Strip of Pavement, Maple
Lumber Destroyed

The Anderson brothers truck OF
Sanborn and valuable load of HARD
maple lumber to be used for floor
in house near Sanborn were demol-
ished late Saturday afternoon on the
Morton hill when flames of unknown
origin broke out behind the cab of the
truck.
Harold Anderson, driver of the
truck, accompanied by Peter Meyer
owner of the lumber and Russell
Deeg, also of Sanborn was returning
from Minneapolis where the lumber
was purchased. He said he checked
over the load at Franklin while stop
ping at gasoline station.
As they started up the Morton hill,
they began to feel warm and smelled
something burning. They stopped the
truck and got out shortly before
flames spread through the cab and ex-
ploded the gasoline tank.
Calls were put in to both the Red
wood Falls and Morton fire depart
ments. The Morton fire fighters went
as far as the Olivia turn and turned
back. The Redwood department fought
the hot flames until out of chemicals
and, handicapped by no water, wat
ched it burn and kept it from spread
ing to highway fence posts.
The intense heat caused the paving
to explode and pieces of cement were
thrown several yards. A large space
on the road was damaged by the ex-
plosion.

thirst for ancient weapons with a
trip to Don's Service station at the
west edge of Redwood Falls.
Don Neuschwander, proprietor,
does not spend all his time giving
water and free air to his customers.
The walls of his two-room building
are covered with ancient guns, pow
der horns and other relics.
In the backyard he has an old rail
fence which many years ago was used
along the Minnesota river. One of
the guns, U. S. Springfield ball gun
was made in 1912 and was used by
the north in the Civil War.
It is an infantry gun and much
larger than another of the same per-
iod used by the cavalry. The smaller
is a Merrill make and was popular in
1853. Both have compartments
where caps were used to ignite the
powder which is primed into little
hole near the hammer. The smaller
is more modern, however, as it has
large hole in the butt where the
caps were stored.
Another gun is badly banged up
