NEARLY FINISHED
Sidewalks Next, Railing is
Delayed in Shipment;
Phone Men Here

The bridge parkwav-.paving will
be finished today, according to L.
r. Brisson, head engineer and pre-
parations for laying the sidewalks
parallel to the highway are being
made. Delayed for seven days by
rain. paving operations are few
days behind schedule.
Another disappointment for
those who wished to see the park
way completed in time for the
July 4 bridge dedication came this
week when it was found that de-
livery of the ornamental iron
railing to connect the wall pilast-
ers will be delayed three weeks.
A crew of five, working for the
St. Paul office of the Bell Tele-
phone company came here Monday
and is spending the week laying
underground cable at both ends
of the bridge and through the pre-
viously prepared tunnel in the
bridge proper, in order to dispense
with nearby telephone poles.

Several Fields Considered,
Others May be Listed
With County Agent

Although the corn at present is
hardly knee high, several fields in
Redwood county are being tended
with special care in the hope that
they will be suitable for the state
cornhusking contest which is due
to be held in the county next fall.
The date and other plans are
tentative but officials of the meet
have promised to hold it here if a
proper field can be found. It is
not only the county's turn to be
host but the officials would like to
bring it here because Ted Balko,
national champion, has done more
than any other individual for the
sport in Minnesota.
The contest field must be very
nearly perfect to be fair to all
contestants and no site can be
selected until shortly before the
meet but several fields are being
kept in mind. One of these is on
the Ed Balko farm south of Red
wood Falls where Ted got his ear
w experience in the husking art.
A. w. Park and ,ason, Sherman,
have field that may be used and
B. T. Kelly is grooming one for
the contest. ALI are close to Red
wood Falls.

BOVEE PREPARES
FOR WEEDS WAR

Nate H. Bovee, county agent of
Redwood county who was last
week appointed to conduct a state
wide demonstration as the initial
move of the states "war on weeds"
campaign, announced Wednesday
that he will start his organization
next week.
Mr.. Bovee has already toured
nearby counties and laid prelim-
mary plans for the organization.
Counties he has visited are Lyon,
Murray, Cottonwood, Martin and
Watonwan.
The assistant who will be in
charge of Mr.. Bovee's office while
he is out of town has not been
named although he will be from
the University Farm.
Mr.. Bovee stated that his work
will consist of organizing farmers
into groups to carry on the war.
Part of the organization work
will be a demonstration of how
GEOGRAPHICALLY the creeping
jenny-should be killed. Workers
to spray on the solution will be
hired locally.
Redwood county, where weed
workers probably are better organ
lied than in any other county, win
be the first place to benefit by Mr..
Bovee's work.

MAJOR CHANGES
MADE In RELIEF
SETUP in STATE
Offices Here Recaassify All
Clients; Re-registratiOn
is Necessary

Far reaching changes in works
relief programs in Minnesota af-
fecting every community in the
state where such projects are un-
derway or expected to be started
were outlined by Victor Christgau,
newly appointed works progress
administrator, upon his arrival in
st. Paul to begin the work of re-
organizing the federal expenditure
program in the state.
Relief organizers here are busy
reclassifying clients all of whom
must make out new applications
before the program goes into eff
feet. 1t is expected that the re-
organization work will be COM
pleted next week.
Hourly wage scales will be
dropped from So cents per hour to
40 cents but the number of hours
each week has been increased to
40, making the weeks check con-
siderably larger than under the
present plan.
The new policies are calculated
to change many contemplated
works projects, because all such
projects are to be limited to those
employing the greatest amount of
labor and the least amount of ma
terials.
"Under the rules of the new
set up" Mr.. Christgau said, Eat
least 80 percent of all labor must
come from relief lines.
There are to be regional offices
in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Roches-
ter, St. Cloud, New Ulm, Thief
River Falls, Brainerd, Duluth and
Morris. Communities desiring to
avail themselves of the federal
funds should get in touch with
these regional offices as soon as
they are established, as all pro-
jects will clear through the region
al office where the community is
located. The work is to be under
way by July 1.
