Heads OF Firms

Practically every business firm
may expect a call in the next few
weeks from federal census
enumerator who will ask questions
about total volume of business,
payrolls and similar information
which workers all over the country
are gathering in the preparation
of a complete picture of what bus
mess was like in 1885.
Rud Stensvad of Redwood Falls
is supervisor of II counties, with
headquarters at Willmar, and will
be in charge of the enumerators
in his district.
Every retail and wholesale bus
mess, all hotels, places of amuse-
ment, business service companies,
insurance agencies, real estate
offices, and trucking and bus COM
panies; all banks, office building
managers and contractors will be
canvassed for reports on their
operations during 1885. The re-
suits are to be tabulated in Phila-
delphia, headquarters of the busi-
ness census, and become the basic
statistics which businesses use in
planning their operating policies.

KNHD Manager
Can Talk Radio
Without Notes

Approaching the opportunity of
fered to get better cooperation
for crime station KIND from
peace officers and prosecutors,
Putnam M. Smith, manager, work
ed long hours last week writing
out fine speech to present at the
convention of sheritfs December
q and the annual conclave of
county attorneys next day.
Imagine his predicament when
he arrived in the Twin Cities and
discovered he had left his speech
in Redwood Falls.
However cooperation is a fami-
liar subject to the station manag-
er and reports are that the talks
he gave will do much to increase
use of the station. Mr.. Smith
stressed that modern day sheriffs
are expected to protect large areas
almost single-handed, into which
bandits in cars may make raids
and get away in snort order.
Through use of the station, any
sheriff can get the help of neigh
Dor sheriffs on short notice, can
keep informed of developments in
the case while away from his Of
flee and can work in better harm
ony with highway patrolmen and
state men.
That the station is already used
considerably is shown by the re-
port of 1885 operations. From
October 10 when the station began
work to the beginning of the new
year, 2,464 items were broadcast.
The first "a hours of 1886 brought
36 items.

ELECTRICITY FOR
FARMS TOPIC OF
WABASSO MEETING
Cooperative Program Plan
Of Farm Bureau and
Oil Coop
Government Will Loan Money
For Lines, Appliances
In Settled Areas

To what extent the federal gov
ernment will go to help bring
electricity to the farms of Red
wood county under the rural cleo
trifcation program, will be ex-
planned at a countrywide meeting
to be held at Wabasso, Tuesday
afternoon, January z.
If the terms are met with suf-
ficient interest, township units
may be organized as the first step
toward forming co-operatives, bor-
rowing federal funds, building
high lines and contracting with
existing companies for current.
A. N. Howalt of the Midland
Wholesale Coop Oil company will
be the speaker. The Midland firm
and the Farm Bureau are sponsor
ing the meeting.
Under the rural electrification
plan, a cooperative is formed
which borrows money from the
government at three per cent. The
money is used to build transmits
sion lines at a cost, complete, OF
between $500 and $1,000 per mile
Electricity is purchased from a
municipal or private concern for
one and one-half to two cent pei
kilowatt hour and users buy it at
a sufficient price to retire the
government loan in 20 years and
pay other obligations. The gov
ernment's only security is a mort
gage on the transmission lines.
Average farm bills are estimat-
ed at $3.50 to SIS per month, this
bill covering about $1.32 principal
and interest, 81 for leakage, up
keep and taxes and SO to 100 Kill
owatts of electricity. In case the
farmer hasn't the money for wir-
ing his premises and for appli-
ances, the government offers five
year loans for these purposes, at
four per cent interest.
To interest the government, a
cooperative must be able to show
an average of two and one-half or
more patrons per mile of high
line. However the plan is to take
in areas of county or larger in
each cooperative and in this way
it is believed that this average
can be obtained.
The first meeting in the county
on the subject was held at Revere
early this month, only a local
group attending.

LICENSING MAJOR
ELECTION issue
Voters To Decide Question
Of Liquor Sales For
Another Year

To license or not to license the
sale of liquor in Redwood Falls II
1886 was the principal subject
this week where the election JAN
uary z was discussed.
Besides voting the license ques-
ton on an official ballot, voters
will be offered a green unofficial
ticket on which three suggestions
are offered for the handling OF
liquor and beer in case licensing
is approved. The first would con-
tinue the plan now in use, an off
sale store with beer in restaur-
ants; the second suggests an off
and on sale liquor store with res
taurants continuing the sale OF
beer while a third would elimin-
ate restaurant beer licensing and
establish an on-sale and Off-sale
store. The informative ballot was
requested in the petition which
caused the city council to order q
vote on licensing.
Three contests will give voters
another ballot to mark, George
w. Huhnerkoch and DR.. J. G. Bu-
dix seeking a council position in
the first ward and E. o. Charlie
bois and o. A. Stensvad in the
race for second ward councilman.
T. F. Reed Jr. seeks reelection
as municipal judge, opposed by
w. H. Ball, while DR.. c. L. Lynn
for mayor, F. w. Stanton for
treasurer and F. B. Forbes for
recorder are unopposed.

TESTING OF SEED
CORN URGED;
FEAR OF SHORTAGE
termination Reports Other
Places Disappointing;
Frost Blamed
Seed Corn Likely To Bring
High Price; Supply
Here Adequate

Reports of poor quality seed
corn and danger of a shortage in
the spring have been frequent in
nearby counties and several other
corn belt states. Farmers here
are urged by the county agents
office to make early tests of corn
selected for planting.
Early frost and freezing and
thawing of corn in cribs has caus-
ed much of the corn tested in other
places to show poor termination
qualities. 1t is generally believed
that seed corn will bring a high
price in the spring.
By testing now farmers will de-
termine whether corn which they
planned to plant is good seed.
Some will have seed corn to sell,
county agent Nate H. Bovee be-
lieves, while others will find it
necessary to buy corn. He esti-
mates that Redwood county will
have enough good seed in some
localities to supply less fortunate
farmers in other parts of the
county.
Many places in Nebraska, Illi-
nois and Iowa as well as some
counties of Minnesota are said to
face serious shortages.

More Progress and Prosperity Seen
in 1896; Improved Farm Prices and
Building Boom Likely to Continue

which most material dealers and
builders feel will continue on an
even greater scale.
Several factors encouraged resi-
dents, many of them young and
with limited capital, to make the
new home step last year. One was
the shortage of homes which made
it difficult to find decent living
quarters. Another was improved
conditions which made jobs more
secure but the most important was
cheaper money made available for
building, coincident with rising
rentals.
While the home shortage is no
longer acute, as more and more
persons see what fine houses their
friends have built with little capi-
tai, the Indebtedness to be retired
on monthly payments closely re-
sembling rent, the boom receives
impetus.
Already several additions to the
Redwood Falls business circle are
anticipated. Before spring at least
two or three new firms will join
the brisk competition for business
which makes the city a trade CEN
ter of wide selection and excellent
values.
Merchants stocks will be larg-
er in 1886 as well as better adver-
tised. No firm we know of plans
to reduce it's advertising expendi-
lures while several plan substan-
tial increases. Advertising is an

2 Men Nearly Freeze

Lucan-Two men from the Twin
Cities who came through here
Christmas eve bound for the Otto
Hansen home in Johnsonville town
ship had narrow escape from
freezing to death. Two miles south
of Lucan they left their car, ex-
pecting to find a farm house in a
grove. Without hats, gloves or
overcoats, they soon became cold
and one fell, exhausted. Finding
no farmhouse, they stumbled back
to the car after one had been able
to arouse the other. They went on
to the Fred Mueller farm but
again found no lights to guide
them. Finally at 10 p. m. they
reached the George Schmiesing
farm. Both had frozen hands,
faces, ears and feet. They were
cared for there and remained there
until Christmas night.
