This Season

The three smashing victories by
Coach Obermeyer's Cardinals on
the home field this season give the
Cards high mark to aim at
that of keeping up last years rec
ord of not having been beaten in

feated but once, by New Ulm, 1876
on the local gridiron.
Tomorrow (Friday) night the
Red Wave sweeps on to Marshall
for their first out-of-town game.
The Tigers were defeated at New
Ulm, 1877, in scrappy tangle in
which the Harmonites, with an
impressive record this season, had
a hard time turning In win. :

Diamond Ring
Lost II Years,
Is Recovered

A twin diamond engagement
ring, lost in a vegetable garden
IL years ago, was found in po-
tato hill last week and returned
Friday to Mrs. Robert Parker of
Redwood Falls who had long
since despaired of ever again
wearing the ring which her hus-
band purchased for her in Toron-
to years ago.
Mrs. Parker lost the ring while
picking cucumbers in the garden
of a farm four miles north of Del
hi on which her niece, Mrs. Peter
Johnson, and family lived. A
frantic search in which the cu-
cumber vines were torn up and
every inch of the garden gone
over carefully followed, but the
gem could not be found.
In the IL ensuing years the gar,
den has been planted and culti-
waited each season. Last week,
Oscar johnson, who now lives
there, was digging potatoes when
he picked up handful Of dirt and
found the diamonds glittering in
it. The ring is in perfect condi-
ton and does not even require
cleaning.

Mechanical Cookie
Pusher" Is Feature
OF Oven In Bakery

A mechanical cookie pusher"
a revolving tray which operates
similarly to a ferris wheel and
thus insures even baking-is one
of the features of a new oven put
into operation Wednesday at the
Gallea bakery.
The eight-ton, automatic, oil
fired oven is of the latest type,
temperature controlled, and al
though its capacity is not greater
than that of the old oven which
has been in use ten years, a larg-
er quantity of pastries and bread
can be produced because of the
speed of baking.
The revolving trays carry bread,
cakes and cookies at a slow
whirling pace, baking evenly. ila
E. L. Gallea, proprietor of the
bakery, has announced that as
soon as the installation is COM
plete and the walls, racks and
other equipment of the shop have
been redecorated, the public will
be invited to inspect it.

One or Two Birds

Sale of 14O duck stamps at the
local postoffice indicates that
many Redwood Falls hunters are
enjoying the sport despite the ap-
parent scarcity of the fowl.
Most hunters report limited
bags, but one or two birds per
trip. Teal, Pintails and Mallards
are the most common kinds being
shot in Redwood county. Much of
the shooting is taking place in
Renville county on sloughs in and
bordering the river bottoms.
Ira Rogers, county auditor, has
issued $50 regular hunting licenses
and as all towns in the county sell
the permits, it is estimated that
over 500 have been issued.

SurplusIReGef
GOODS WORTH S557.46
DISTRIBUTED TO
NEEDY

Distribution of surplus commo-
dities = that little understood
phase of WPA's activities-is now
reaching 211 families in Redwood
county, it was announced this
week by Victor Christgau, state
WPA administrator. The retail
value of this monthly distribution
in the county was estimated al
$557.46. In the state as whole,
it was announced, surplus COM
modities are being distributed to
Al $50 families. The commodities
thus distributed includes food
stuffs and wearables.
Distribution of surplus food
stuffs is of direct benefit to pro-
ducers and business men, as well
as to relief clients" said Mr..
Christgau. "Those who do not ap-
preciate this three-fold benefit
fail to understand the policy in
volved. All goods that are distri-
buted have been purchased to
prevent glutted markets and ruin
Gus price levels. Distribution is
made to persons who, with small
buying power, would be unable to
purchase the commodities if they
moved through the normal trade
channels, regardless of how low
prices might go, nor how many
producers might have been ruin
ed by glutted markets. Therefore,
by sustaining markets and price
levels, all concerned are benefit
ted"
In addition to foodstuffs SO pur-
chased by the government, WPA
also distributes clothing and other
articles made by its needlecraft
projects.
All who are certified as being
in need of relief are entitled to
these surplus commodities, wheth-
er they are on WPA or not. The
distribution is designed to add to,
rather than supplement a needy
family's income from either direct
or work relief.

Help Farmer
Find Market
CHRISTIANSON ASSAILS
PRESENT FARM
PROGRAM

The present agricultural Sltua-
ton demands the Inauguration of
a system of "selective bargain
ing" with open negotiations and
ratification by the senate of any
agreements entered into, Theo-
dore Christianson, republican cam
didate for United States senator,
told an audience at Lamberton
Sunday. +,
Foreign trade is necessary to
the prosperity of the United
States" Congressman Christian
son stated, "but it should be re-
gulated to protect the domestic
market from being flooded with
cheap foreign products that COM
pete with the produce raised by
American farmers.
''The present reciprocal trade
agreements have resulted in the
products of 80 million foreign
acres displacing those of as many
American acres. The only way out
of this emergency is to allow the
farmer to raise what he can, and
what he normally would in the
course of good husbandry, and
then help him find a market for
what he has produced"
ChriStianson spoke before a
crowd of $50 in the Lamberton
pavilion. He was introduced by
eX-congreSsman Frank Clague,
who appeared on the speakers
platform with w. r. Werring,
county Republican chairman and
A. G. Einen, Lamberton chairman.
Preceding his address, Carl An
derson, opposing incumbent Paul
Quale for congress, discussed i'm
portations of butter and corn as
detrimental to the United States
farming industry. He also advo-
Gated an old age pension and stat
ed that the Republican party was
not in favor of letting anyone
suffer but was definitely opposed
to the present methods of dispen-
sing relief.
Congressman Christianson adj
mitted that he voted for the AAA,
but Sunday denounced it as, "sub-
sidizing corporation farmers"
"The government can't stand that
sort of extravaganza" he stated,
"And you can't cure depression
by breeding more debt"
'We didn't have to have social
ism to come back from the de-
preston. And we didn't need to
hire any long haired fanatics from
Russia to tell us what to do"
Warming to the subject of Soc
ialism, communism and Sovietism,
Christianson said the Communist
party is publicly indorsing Far
mer-Labor candidates and polio
les. He added that the Russian
system of government threatens to
include the United States as a
state in the world soviet.
"When Ernest Lundeen signed
the report of a group of Ameri-
can men who sanctioned labor
methods in Russia, he forged the
chain which binds him to Mos
cow" Christianson concluded as
he asked his listeners to vote for
him, "the only Minnesota sena-
torial candidate not indorsed by
the Communist party"

BIG GAIN SHOWN
UNDER DIR. linn
MEMBERSHIP INCREASED
157; CHURCH FREE
OF DEBT

The remarkable growth and
clearance from debt of the First
Presbyterian church of Redwood
Falls was revealed Sunday morn
ing when DR.. James p. Linn, who
on that day had completed his
ninth year here, reported on his
activities during that period.
Coming to Redwood Falls from
eight years of service in Council
Bluffs, Iowa, DIR. Linn has held
the longest pastorate in the his
tory of the local church.
During those nine years, the
active membership of the First
Presbyterian church has grown
from 1853 to SIS, a gain of 157
members. Under DIR. Linn, 240
members were received on con-
fession; 110 were received by
letters, and Is who had been
dropped from the roll were re-
claimed and renewed their rela-
tionship with the church. The
total number received into the
church by confession and letter is
$50. While the net gain is only
157, the difference is due to the
fact that many people moved
from Redwood Falls, thus sever
ing their connections with the
church, the death of many mem
bers and other causes.
DR.. Linn's report on the finan-
cial condition of the church was
similarly o1Yfcfopdin0 Monies
raised for current expenses total
ed $45, ,422 and $8,356 was sent to
the church boards during the
nine-year period.
Today the church stands free of
debt, except for current running
expenses. No money was borrow
ed during the difficult financial
period.
DIR. Linn's report was given
during the Sunday morning COM
munion service.
