Sixty Men Is CCC Quota
Continued from page One)

hours a week Of actual work.
The CCC is an emergency recoy.
cry agency designed to feed, clothe,
and keep, destitute, hungry and IN
employed youths. II Is doing more
than that by paying any cash allow
INC over and above the actual
keep" of these needy boys; by pro-
viding educational and recreational
facilities, vocational guidance and
countless other extra" services. The
s25 a month allotment which every
enrollee sends home to his family
has been a decided factor In keeping
| thousands of 'fborderline'' families
| from relief rolls and in removing
| many relief families from the rolls.
If the rehabilitation of youths were
the only thing the CCC Is accom-
plishing, with no wages, 1t would
seem that its existence Is more than
justified.
Outdoor Life Benefits
The effects of the outdoor life,
good food and healthful work on the
enrollees are indicated by the fact
that $4,000 selected at random from
all sections Of the United States
showed an average weight gain per
man of more than seven pounds dur
ing a six months period OF enroll
ment. Other and later tests of sim
liar nature showed weight gains
varying from IN average OF seven TO
twelve pounds per enrollee. War de-
partment officials estimate t e
weight gains by young men have
averaged twelve pounds per enrollee.
In addition to making 1t possible
for many enrollees to remove their
families from public relief rolls
through their work, the Department
of Labor advises that thousands Of
actual case records reflect the fact
men have returned to their homes
definitely benefited physically and
mentally; their outlook toward the
future is brighter; their sense of
self-reliance and their ability to adj
just themselves to economic condi-
tons Is stronger.
But more than the actual physical
accomplishments of the Corps, a
fraction Of which is worth infinitely
more to the Nation than the total
cost of the CCC program, the number
of incendiary fires in national parks
and forests have been reduced by
half, millions of dollars worth OF
valuable timber has been saved,
great forests for the future have
been insured by the planning. killing
of wild game in public preserves
has practically ceased. Besides polio
ing and reconstructing public lands,
the CCC has helped launch a vast
s~oil-erosion control demonstrations,
and has started work designed to
save the western plains country
from the dust menace. Then too, the
CCC Is conserving human as well as
natural resources.
Additional reams of material
could be written on other advantages
Of the CCC but that is not necessary
Because the program has been SO
generously accepted and highly en-
dorsed by the American people, 1t IS
generally rumored now that the
Civilian Conservation Corps will be
come a permanent Government
agency.

Who Makes The Poppy?

Who Makes n Poppyf
Quietly sitting and working,
Each day as the hours go by;
Cutting each little petal,
Breathing so often a sigh.
Shaping with care and percisiOn;
Outwardly, calm and serene;
Each day as he works on the flowers,
Seems filled with ~unbearable pain.
What If it means untold agony,
And patience far more than he has,
II 1t provides a home for his darl-
ings,
And makes brighter their paths,
When each little flower is completed
A penny for him is earned,
Pennies will buy for his children,
The things for (which they have
yearned.
Thus thinks the Disabled Comrade'
With courage combating the pain;
He must bear the rest Of his lifetime,
Because of wars long reign
Thus sitting and working and think
ing,
Each day as the hours slip along,
Shaping, and cutting and weaving
"a Hero-A Poppy-A Song.
The Poppy, a heroic symbol,
OF the dead on the fields OF
France;
But, more truly, a symbol OF service,
Whose glories the living enhance.
For IT'S made by the DISABLED
Comrades
At home, or in hospital bed;
In love, in sorrow and suffering,
A memorial to the dead.

ROAD CRAWLING
PROJECT OFFERED
WPA Asked to Help With
Big Gravel Job, Two
Bridges Submitted

Projects totalling more than
100000 were submitted to Works
Progress administration head
quarters in st. Paul this week by
George Matson of Redwood Falls,
area engineer.
One job alone would employ 240
men for a period Of six months
and would lend itself to winter
work, an advantage now being
looked for in works projects. 1t
is the graveling of a large num-
Der of county roads and would
cost the federal government $751;
32O and loc i units $7,210.
Two concrete bridges also have
been submitted, the largest to be
located one half mile south Of
Lamberton. 1t will be 81 feet
long and 18 feet high with a %
foot road bed. Two abutments
and the center pier will be Of con-
crete, using stones gathered along
the roadside. 1t would employ 40
men for five months at a cost to
local units of $2,584.28 and $12,-
900 from the federal government,
The other bridge is to be one
and one-half miles northwest of
North Redwood on the new road.
1t will be 16 feet long with %
foot road bed, employing 20 men
three months and costing $414.76
to local units and $2,640 from the
government.
Among the projects approved
at St. Paul and sent to Washing
ton is one to build sidewalks at
Lamberton with federal funds of
$1,10O.

Wisconsin Boy and Girl
Through Fields

Wanted for skipping probation
after abandoning a baby, Evelyn
Dial and Martin Johns of Eau
Claire, Wisconsin were captured
by Sheriff L. j. Kise Monday af-
ter they had fled on, foot through
corn fields and groves in the wide
area between Belview and Morton.
The couple who had been under
the jurisdiction of the state in
Eau Claire, escaped from there
Saturday, going to Belview where
they were unlimited guests of the
girls aunt.
knowledge of the case led Eau
Claire probation authorities to
wire Sheriff Kise that they might
be in this vicinity. He visited
Belview Monday in an attempt to
get them.
Informed by a child that the
authorities were there, the couple
took to a corn field, hiding from
the officers who ran after them.
Beating through fields over a
large territory, Kise found the
girl hiding in grove at the Fred
Carity farm west of Redwood
Falls, and taking her into custo-
dy, he returned to hunt the man
who was found sneaking about
the railroad yard at Morton at
about p. m. that night.

N. H. Jenniges, 36, Accident
ally Killed While Flowing
On Schunk Farm
E. M. Swartz, Neighb0r, Goes
To Investigate Racing
Of Engine

Nicholas H. Jenniges, SO, was
found crushed to death under a
tractor plow on the George Schunk
farm near Wabasso Wednesday
morning. His death was acci-
dental, according to DR.. w. A.
Brand, deputy coroner who was
called at about IL a. m.
Believing the tractor to be
stuck, E. M. Swartz, a neighbor
ran across the field to assist when
he heard the motor racing. He
found Jenniges pinned beneath
the cross beam of the machine,
his chest mashed. To all appear
ances he had fallen from the NOV
ing machine when he stood up to
look back at a coulter which had
dropped off few feet behind. AS
he had only one arm, q hook :,e-
placing the hand and forearm on
the other, he evidently would have
had difficulty in saving himself
from slipping.
Single, Jenniges had worked on
the Schunk farm a mile east and
a mile north of Wabasso for three
years. He is survived by two
brothers, Joseph of Wabasso and
another living at Tracy. His par
ents, formerly of Willow Lake
township, are dead.

Nothing makes a taxpayer mad

commented.
The county auditor will receive

TO ADMINISTER
COUNTY RELIEF
Commissioners Pick Head
From SERA Staff To
Conduct Work

Mrs. Eleanor Bue, county relief
worker under the SERA, has been
appointed Redwood county relief
administrator by the county COM
missions who recently left the
SERA and will assume her new
position September l..
In choosing Mrs. Bue, the board
set a precedent for those counties
which refused to sign up with the
ERA this year, as this is the only
one of the 20 protesting who have
as yet maintained the worker ap-
pointed by the state under the old
set-up.
Mrs. Bue will have the SERA
office of which she was head
liquidated this week and will begin
the work of governing the use OF
county funds for poor next week.
Her former title was awarded
M. E. Kennedy relief investigator
here for the past months, Tuesday
when he received the appointment
of SERA county relief worker. 1t
will be his duty to certify WPA
workers according to state and
federal regulations. Mrs. Kennedy
will come here Saturday to join
her husband and they will live in
the Irl Starr residence.
Although no definite plans fol-
the location of offices have been
made, it is expected that relief,
unemployment and SERA head
quarters will be moved back to the
court house from above the Nat
ional Tea Store.

REDWOODSCHOOLS
TO OPEN TUESDAY
New Superintendent and Five
New Teachers on Staff;
WaShrOOms Provided

Redwood Falls largest industry,
that of preparing youngsters of
the city and surrounding territory
for their life work, will reopen
after the summer shutdown Tues
day morning with regular classes
to be held the opening day.
Students will find the buildings
thoroughly gone over and many
improvements made, particularly
at the Senior High school, where
long-needed washroom facilities
have been provided.
They will also find a new, super
intendent and five new teachers,
one of whom has not yet been de-
finitely chosen since the vacancy
caused by the resignation of M. v.
McCurdy occurred only last week.
Reede Gray, formerly of Osseo,
who came here in July to take
charge of the school system issued
the following statement Wednes-
day regarding its facilities and the
variety of work offered:
Redwood Falls has a school
system Of which any city might
justly be proud. The scholarship
standards are well above the aver
age Of the state as whole. The
high school is large enough to pro-
vide special departments including
music and choice of academic
subjects. All phases of allied-cur-
ricular activities S1,ch 40 ath1otice
dramatics and oratory are provid-
ed.
"The Redwood Falls school build
ings are quite adequate, especially
the Lincoln school. In fact, few
towns can boast Of so fine build
ing.
"The schools belong to the peo-
pie of the district and it is the
desire of those in charge that the
most possible and best use be
made of the facilities that are at
hand"

Game League Stocks Lakes
With Largest Crop of Fish
Ever Raised in Pond Here
Hundreds of Thousands of
Fingerlings Hauled to
Nearby Lakes

Hundreds of thousands of bass,
crappie and ,sunfish fngerlings
were taken from the Redwood
County Game Protective leagues
spawning pond Sunday and placed
in Lake Redwood, at points near
the pump house and the ice house.
Thousands also were taken to
Gold Mine lake at Delhi and to
Seaforth and placed in the Red
wood river where the game league
recently completed a dam. Mann's
lake also received many of the
small fish.
The brood stock was obtained
from the state fish hatcheries at
Glenwood and from Lake Redwood
when the breeding pond was stock
ed in May. The pond is located
about a mile north of North Red
wood, just southwest of Mann's
lake. The pond is fed by a spring
that is piped from the small group
of hills to the west Of the pond. A
drainage ditch has been dug from
the pond to Mann's lake to serve
as an outlet, having an impro-
vised lock to govern the amount
of water leaving the pond. The
heavy rains of this spring and the
spring water served to fill and keep
the pond at high level all sum-
mer. The pond was dry last sea-
son.
The most successful year ever,
was the comment of r. F. Byram,
league president, on the number
and quality of fingerlings taken
from the pond.
A number of large bass and
sunfish were also found in the
nets when dragged upon shore.
These were also placed in the lake.

Farm Storage Law
Facilitates Loans
On Corn And Grain

The operation of the new state
farm storage law will open to far
mers new sources of credit on
farm-stored grain, says Nate H.
Bovee, county agent.
Although Minnesota has had a
state farm storage law since 1881,
the original law contained so many
imperfections that farmers took
little advantage of it until the en-
ergency federal corn loan program
forced them to do so. Now the law
has been revised, making the
states grain inspection service
more workable and cheaper to
farmers.
Under the authority of this
law, the Railroad and Warehouse
commission is establishing county
warehousing boards of five mem
bers each in all of the principal
grain raising counties of the state.
These boards will supervise the in
spection of farm-stored ear corn
and small grain for owners re-
questing this service, and, where
circumstances justify, will issue
storage certificates which may be
offered as security for loans.
The charge to the farmer for in
specting and sealing his grain is
limited by the law to not more
than one cent bushel, Mr.. Bovee
says. The Production Credit Cor
poration has announced that it
will lend to farmers on the secur-
ity of suitably stored ear corn
and small grain, and the Commod-
ity Credit Corporation will again
offer loans on ear corn only.

Donkey Baseball is played on a

and the batter always gets hit.
A baserunner does not have to

Rainfall This Month
Brings Total Above
Mark For All of "a

Rainfall during the first eight
months of this year was AZ of an
inch greater than that during the
entire year of 1884, according to
N. B. Andersen, Redwood Falls
weather man, whose records show
1909 inches since January 1, and
1857 for 1884. Eleven showers
during August raised the moisture
count 2.06 inches.
While cool citizens took to their
coats after several weeks of swell
tering heat, Mr.. Andersen's ther-
mometer dropped from 90 last
Monday to 72 Tuesday. Staying in
the lower registers aH week, the
machine marked 40 Wednesday
morning for the eolaest dny since
June Z when it fell to, Sc.
An exceptionally hot month was
this one when for 16 days the
mercury stuck at 80 or above, hit
ting 101 one day. Last year there
were only ten days when the mer-
curry rose above 80, but it touched
100 twice that time.

NEW POSTOFFICE
LIKELY TO WAIT

Redwood Falls hopes for a new
postoffice in the next few months
received a blow this week in a
letter to N. R. Ryerson from Sen
ator Henrik Shipstead.
The senator enclosed a COM
munication from the procurement
division of the treasury depart
ment, advising him that the post
office was one of LOO submitted
under an estimated limit of $780,
293,5OO of which $50, 100000 was
appropriated, making it impossible
to authorize more than A per cent
of the projects.
It added, however, that the mat
ter will be considered in the future
when money becomes available.
Another theory here was that
the necessary funds were included
in the third deficiency bill which
Senator Huey Long talked to de-
feat in a filibuster in the last
hours of congress which adjourned
this week.
