Mike and Joe Finish
% Years i'm Business

Twenty-eight years ago, in 1907,
two Redwood Falls young men, one
% the other rs, sold their harness
shop and January 10 opened an ice
cream and confectionery parlor.
Twenty-eight years later, Satur-
day the same two men Mike and Joe
Lauterbach, still operating an ice
cream and confectionery parlor only
on larger scale, will celebrate an
other anniversary of their business.
An open house birthday party will
be held in the afternoon from 2 to
4 and visitors will be presented with
a token of appreciation for their
patronage. Women will be treated
to a piece of cake, the men to cigars
and children to ice cream cones. An
orchestra will play during the eve
ming.
Both brothers are long time resi-
dents of Redwood Falls, Joe having
been born here and Mike coming
here from New Ulm when two years
old. Mike, the elder Of the two, en-
tered the harness business in 1902
and later took in his brother Joe as
a partner. Five years later they sold
their interest to Chris and Louis
Schultz and purchased a small con-
fectionery parlor from Wallace and
Dell Knowlton, which is the present
site of Fischer's Meat market.
AS their business grew the broth
ers saw the need of larger building
and in 1912 they moved to what is
!. now the southern half Of Jaehning's
hardware.
, In 1919 Mike and Joe constructed
their present location. Back in 1907
when the brothers opened their first
sparlor, they operated the business
alone but today nine persons are af-
forded regular employment and two,
part time work. Plate lunches were
added in 1923.

The Farm Outlook

The farm outlook has greatly changed in the last
three years. When the bottom OF depression was
reached in the summer Of 1882, 1t looked as II agricul-
ture faced nothing save more foreclosures, more farm
failures more ~profitless years. Slow improvement set
in then, and the pace Of betterment gradually acceler-
ated. Recent surveys indicate that agricultural IN
come is climbing, and that black ink is taking the
place OF red in farm ledgers. The farmer is not out OF
the woods-but he can see the sunny meadows beyond.
One of the most potent factors in bringing about
the Improvement already registered, and the much
more striking Improvement that seems inevitable in
the near future, has been the fartner-owned, farmer
controlled cooperatives. These associations have prob
ably done more to genuinely and permanently improve
the farmers position than all the government farm re-
lief measures proposed or passed since the war. The
co-ops, possessing the great virtue Of permanence,
coupled with the fact that they are non-pohtical, know
how to get results and to keep ON getting them.
The cooperative movement is still growing rapid
ly. New co-ops are being organized-od ones are
gaining more members. That is real agricultural pro-
gress.

Reviving Human Beings

The revival Of human beings after incomplete
death will be attempted by a new institute being
organized in Russia under the direction OF DR.. s. s.
Brukhoneko, who has experimental with reviving
animals.
Incomplete death is defined as death in an acct
dent where vital organs are intact and the Russian
has perfected an artificial heart to keep the blood
circulating until the heart renews it's work. He says
the mechanism must be applied within forty minutes
to revive an animal and, presumably, a person.
People who may be inclined to laugh at the pro-
posed institute might remember that artificial resper-
alton snatches many people from the grave. Without
its aid some Of our living would he entirely dead in
stead of enjoying life after an experience that might
certainly be classed as ~compl DEATH"

You Can't Exaggerate These Horrors

A few weeks ago readers OF an important New
York daily received a gruesome surprise. In an &C
count Of a serious automobile accident, the paper no
longer confined itself to a bare and colorless state
ment of facts. Instead. it presented all the gruesome
details, chroncling the mashed, oozing skulls, and
compound bone fractures, the bleeding wounds Of the
victims. And it announced that it would continue this
policy, in the belief that it would help bring public
cooperation in making our streets and highways safer.
This is partly the result of the famed Readers
Digest article, And Sudden Death, by ]. c. Furnas,
which has received national attention. Mr.. Furnas
pointed out that an effective picture of motor acct
dents would have to include motion picture and
sound effects, too-the Hopping, p~ointless efforts Of
the injured to stand up; the queer, ~grunting noises;
the steady, painting grooming of a human being with
would portray the slack expression on the face of a
man drugged with shock, staring at the Ztwist in his
broken leg, the insane crrmped effect Of a child's
body after it's bones are crushed inward, q realistic
portrait of an hysterical woman with her screaming
mouth opening a hole in the bloody drip that fills her
eyes and runs off her chin. Minor details would In
clude the raw ends OF bones protruding through flesh
in compound fractures, and the dark red, oozing sur
faces where clothes and skin are fayed off at once"
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES? Yes-but these
details are not one iota too much so. They are part
and parcel of thousands of accidents each year. Some
where, at this moment, the gruesome scene is being
enacted again. The New York newspaper, which Is to
do its best to give a true picture Of major automobile
crashes, has set an example that should be emulated
throughout the country.

GRAMERCY PARK

There had been killings at the Bel
Ia Donna before. No one anticipated
the trouble this casual homicide
would cause. But now the better
citizens were up in arms. To the
Bella Donna, therefore, the next
morning came the sheriff, armed with
a warrant for knuckles, and accom-
panied by a group of citizens.
Chamalis refused to be discon-
certed.
"Going to try him for murder?
Well, you don't have to take him any
where for that"
And he walked over to an elderly,
seedy looking codger, snoring in a
hangover sleep in one of the booths.
The fellow came suffering out of
his sleep.
There's some work for you,
Judge" Chamal;s declared. "Seems
that a fellow named Ferguson has
Just been killed. We want you to
try Knuckles, here, the man that did
It." =
Obediently, the Judge took his seat
at one Of the open tables.

til there isn't a word left in It! After
you finish, set fire to the building!"
In vain Cobb pleaded. Knuckles
advanced with an axe, and was about
to smash the machine when Swan
appeared to intervene for her friend.
II Chamalis's word was law in San
francisco, Swans word was law with
him. He agreed to spare Cobb's
press on condition that the old man
cease his attacks. Inundated, de-
feated. broken-hearted, Cobb surren-
dered. The last shreds of his new
born dignity were torn from him. He
thanked Swan, but not without q
trace OF bitterness in his voice.
Il couldn't have stood it II they
had broken 1t. 1t isn't much use,
though. A poor shamed thing that
mustn't speak"
Let 1t speak the language Of the
town. cried Swan, bitterly. Lies,
hypocrisy and more lies!"
Swan, however, was more shaken
BY the recent events that she let on.
And when the persistent Chamalis
again sought her love her reply star
tied him by its violence.
What do you want me to do?" she
cried. Lie? Lie and pretend I've
got a heart. Do you think / am still
a white woman? Do you think I'm
still Mary Rutledge, the little girl
from New York? :. Stop yelling
about love, and let's enjoy splashing
around in our mud puddle"
The next morning, despite threat
of rain, Swan set out for a ride into
the hills. She was well out of town
when the downpour began. A shack
in the distance offered her shelter,
and Swan made for it. 1t was un-
occupied. Clumsily, she built a fire,
and tried to dry her thoroughly
soaked dress and riding jacket.
She was clad only in a petticoat
and chemise when she heard a slight
noise. and looked up. startled, in
stinctively clutching her dress. and
holding it before her. A tall young.

Yes, mine was the biggest hoop,

And in this vein, the two began
chatting, as if they had known each
other all their lives. Until, suddenly,
they were startled by a loud clap Of
thunder. There was a Gathering Of
hoofs outside the door. Jim rushed
outside belatedly. Swans horse had
run away.
"How am 1 going to get back?"
Swan asked in dismay.
II have a couple of burros outside.
II you don't mind riding on q few
sacks of gold"
On the way back to town, there
was further chance of getting &C.
quainted. Swan learned that Jim wal
something of a poet. Also that he
was on his way back home-thanks
to the bags of gold against which
she so intentionally rested.
If only, he said, the harpies didn't
get him.
what does a harpy look Nkef"
Swan asked nervously.
They have snakes in their hair,
and cats eyes, and no hearts at all.
Nevertheless, they are attractive In
their way. The gold fields ring with
the legends of the harpies and the
shorn lambs-shorn Of their golden
wool"
Swan grew more and more uncom-
Portable, realizing that 1t was she
who was being characterized. In re-
spouse to his W questioning, she
informed him that she lived on Z
ranch, and was merely visiting San
Francisco.

asked.

Law and Order

The decision was reinforced by the
guns of Chamalis's henchmen, who
drove the law-abiding citizens out of
the saloon.
But the embattled citizens were not
through with the case. We'll be
back" they warned Chamalis. And
leaving, they headed straight for the
Offices of the 'San Francisco Clari-
on" where Mr.. Marcus Aurelius
Cobb, the broken-down journalist who
had befriended Swan, now presided
in newborn self-respect. Cobb was
gloating over his new press, which
the grateful Swan had helped him
purchase.
Cobb's innocent delight was inter-
rupted by the entrance of the indig-
nant band Of men expelled from the
Bella Donna. Would he, they want
ed to know, champion the cause of
decency, Of law and order in San
Francisco?
Gentlemen" said Cobb, ave been
waiting for this a long time"
The following midnight, the new
Clarion press was laundering out the
latest issue, carrying Cobb's new
bold headlines on the front page:
LAW AND ORDER MUST COME
TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Suddenly the door was burst open,
and Chamalis and his armed gang
entered. Chamalis snatched a copy
Of the "Clarion" out of Cobb's hands,
and read the headlines.

One Of the citizens spoke up.
This Chinaman was right there"
The Judge was deprecating.
Nov boys" he said, you don't
expect me to take the word of a
Chinaman. ANY American witness to
this homicide?
Slocum, of the decent element,
spoke up again.
There amt no question who did
it," he said grimly.
The Judge gazed ~uneasily in CHI
malis's direction, but that gentleman'S
face was a mask.
"Well, now," the Judge argued, "if
1t was Knuckles, maybe he had a rea-
son."
Sure he did," said Chamalis. THAT
fela, Ferguson, passed a remark
about Miss Rutledge. He was vul-
gar"
The Judge was outraged.

idea! Insulted a lady, gentlemen

The Judge cleared his throat.

Make Every Week Fire Prevention Week

Fire Prevention Week, which began as an annual
national event during the Wilson administration. has
been productive of much geed. 1t has lessened the toll
of lives that fire takes each year. 1t has saved mil
lions of dollars worth of property from destruction.
But, in spite of this splendid record, the results OBJ
tanned have been far less imposing than they should
have been.
1t is common experience for the national fire loes
to fall during the Week. and for a relatively brief per-
iod Immediately following. Then 1t again rises to
normal" levels. In brief, while the lessons Of the
Week are fresh in their minds, citizens are careful
when time has dimmed the enthusiasm the Week gave
them. they again return to their old careless habits.
There is but one solution for that unfortunate
state Of affairs-a solution that, II 1t is to be the sue
cess it deserves to be, must be applied by every prop
ertyowner and citizen. Figuratively speaking, we must
make every week Fire Prevention Week. We must re-
member what we learn, and apply it throughout the
year. We must realize that the fire demon never
sleeps-and that it is of little use to eliminate hazards
and take protective measures once each year, and
then allow that good work to go undone for the bal
ance OF the twelve months.
This year, Fire Prevention Week offered the
motto, Fire destroys life, property, progress. prosper
ity." That minimizes the consequences OF fire, rather
than exaggerating them Fire is the enemy Of our
homes, OF our industries, OF our communities, OF the
lives of our loved ones. Fire prevention is their friend
and protector. Don't f~orget-make each week Fire
Prevention Week so far as you are concerned.
