Responsibility for the success and
advancement of any municipality to
a large extent rests with the govern
ing bodies of that city, village OF
town.
If members of such boards are
ambitious and far seeing, the town
moves forward, not by leaps and
bounds perhaps but at least by a
steady and general improvement
which is most healthy. If they are
content always to let things go on
as they are and allow other towns to
make rapid strides ahead, their city
will steadily dwindle in Importance.
Rdwood Falls has been fortunate
in the men who have held it's impor-
tant offices. This fact is verified by
the improvements made in its
schools, its streets, its public works,
in dozens of minor things which in
the aggregate are extremely impor-
tant.
Thirty-seven men have served the
city as mayor since the handful of
settlers incorporated the village in
1876. Each served for small remuner-
alton, each heard his share of COM
plants for things done and for
things not done but with very few
exceptions, each left the. office with
the city enjoying some advancement
as a direct or indirect result of his
effort.
The history of mayors and council
presidents started February 10, 1876
shortly after the village was incor-
porated. Birney Flynn, C. C. Sickle
and S. ]. F. Ruter were designated
by the state legislature to carry out
the provisions of the village charter.
At the meeting the night the char
ter was received it was decided to
hold an election Immediately to sell
ect officers of the village. M. E. Pow
ell was elected March 9, 1876 to be
the first president of council.
Following is the honor roll of

BLUE BLOOD IS CALLED IN FOR
 HELP TO GOVT,
President Roosevelt Goe s Into New Ranks for
 New Dealers

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-One of the striking features of the New Deal' is the way President Roose- welt has called in blue blood as well as brains to help solve gov- ernmental problems.

 The most recent addition is that of Francis Riddle of the famous Philadelphia family who has been made Chairman of the National Labor Board
 The wealthy young Riddle pre- sides over the destinies of labor Time was when organized labor would have been suspicious of a man of his background in such a position of authority. There was a hint of this when labor learned the President was considering him for the post, but it came to noth- ing.
 Riddle takes over the chairman ship of the board with the bless ing of William Green himself, President of the American Fedora tion of Labor.
