aGly voted at special election
last December is at a standstill.
Word was received by the city
council last week that the pro-
ject has not been definitely re-

advised the council that whether
or not an allotment for the pro-
ject can be made will depend on
whether congress or administra-
tion officials will allow additional
funds to the Public Works Admin

Debts to be Settled, Houses
to be Built, Education
For the Children
By Mary Finn

The happy-go-lucky, reckless
boy who soldiered in the World
War is now a settled family man,
planning for his children's educa-
ton, building up substantial saw
ings and anxious to pay his debts,
it appears, as veterans of Red
wood Falls contemplate the dis
posal of their share of the bonus,
payable after June Is.
$384,336 in baby bonds of $50
denominations will make their ap-
pearance- in Redwood county
around July 1, result of the
passage of the adjusted service
certificate bill by the United
States senate which followed the
example of the house of repre-
sentatives in overriding the pre-
sident's veto Monday. Nearly $1O,-
900 Of the county's share will go
to court house officials and en-
ployees.
The question, "How will you
spend your bonus money!" put to
several Redwood Falls veterans,
elected responses ranging all the
way from, I'm going to get mar
ried," from a veteran bachelor to
"I'm going to pay the hospital bill
for a new baby" from a man
whose wife is expecting-t0 get

The majority, however, plan to

R. ]. KEEFE HEADS
FAlRMONT STORE
FOrsters Add Third Store
To Group; E. J. Stephany
In Charge Here

The Forster Furniture company
announces the purchase of the
Erase and Boyer Furniture COM
pany at Fairmont. This store
consists of three floors, basement
and balcony and is located in the
heart of the Fairmont business
section.
The Fairmont store will be
managed by R. J. Keefe who has
been manager in Redwood Falls
for four years and now becomes a
member of the firm. He will oe
missed here because of his activi-
tives in connection with the band,
alumni association and various
civic affairs. The Redwood Fails
store will henceforth be under the
direction of E. j. Stephany who
Joined the firm last June and
who has had years of merchandise
ing experience.
Commenting on the change, Mr..
Stephany said, "The addition of
this store will make Forster's an
even greater factor in the furni-
ture markets and will place this
concern on a carload buying basis
in practically all lines. In the
past, much furniture has been
bought direct from manufacturers
in carload lots but it will now be
possible to extend this practice to
most items resulting in more ad-
vantageous buying. AS has been
the policy for nearly 38 years, the
savings will be passed on to the
purchaser.
"a central warehouse will be
operated at Springfield for the
three stores. Thus the floor dis
plays will be augmented by a
large warehouse stock, selections
will be wider and prompt delivery
will be assured"

Agent Says

Western states, even sunny
California, are more overrun with
the Creeping Jenny weed than
Minnesota, Nate H. Bovee, county

lowing his return from a recent
speaking engagement at Pullman,
Washington.
Able to observe the noxious
weed conditions while on his trip,
Mr.. Bovee found that California,
Washington, Colorado, Kansas
and Nebraska are in terrible
shape" and in need of cleanup.
Several states are using the

national spotlight, while some
are also fashioning state weed
laws similar to those passed last
year in Minnesota as direct re-
suit of weed eradication work in
this county.
Mr.. Bovee said the weed pro-

DRIFTS WORST In
YEARS, COOK SAYS
Fears Another Storm Might
Tie Up Traffic For
- Long Period

Colder, is the weather forecast
for redwood alls and vicinity TO-
Gay after experiencing short re-
spite Tuesday and Wednesday
from the week of sub-zero lem-
peratu.es which left many frost
bitten hands and faces and caused
the cancellation of various func-
lions.
After breaking all records for
"a years last Wednesday with a
tumble to 52 degrees below zero,
the mercury remained submerged
between 26 and IA Celow Thurs
day, slipped to 80 degrees under
and struggled to IA for the days
highest, Friday, rested between Is
anu q and ~ ana A below, Satur-
day and Sunday respectively and
after starting out with II degrees
below Monday hnalIy rose to
ground level for the first time by
registering zero. Tuesday the
city basked in i've above weather
and zero was recorded Wednesday.
Low marks for the three days
were 1T, -15, and -18.
Drifted roads in the country
were the worst he has ever exper-
fenced, Richard Cook, county en-
gineer, stated this week. Because
of the hard compact snow, plows
had considerable difficulty in op-
ening the roads, and if another Sc
we're storm should occur this win
ter it would be practically impos-
sible to open cuts with any of the
equipment available.
The worst sections of road we're
north and south of Milroy, north
and south of Lucan and between
Delhi and Belview. Seven plows,
four of them large truck outfits,
one owned by the county and the
other three rented, and three
small plows attached to the coun-
ty's power patrols, were assigned
to clearing the roads which are
now all open.
Harry Beatty, acting sheriff, re-
ported that due to blocked roads,
ne was forced to walk distances
from a half mile to three miles on
several occasions from last Thurs
day to Monday to serve papers.
Une road near Walnut Grove, he
said, was covered at some spots
with six feet of snow.
Several schools throughout the
county were closed until Monday,
while others suspended classes one
or two days.

 They are the only hurdles ahead of the re-nomination of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Although the platform is being guarded closely, an advance peek showed it contained no call for a constitutional amendment, but it does touch on the question of a constitutional change. It will be unanimously adopted.
