GAIN IN FARM
CASH GENERAL

Farmers cash income from the
sale of farm products amounted
to $754, ,000, 900 in September, or
Is per cent more than in Septem-
Der last year, all regions showing
gains in income, the Bureau Of
Agricultural Economics reported
today.
Livestock receipts averaged 18
per cent greater this September
than last, the increase being gen.
eral throughout the country. In
the west north central states the
increased income from livestock
somewhat more than counterbal-
anced the shrinkage in crop sales.
Government payments to far
mers this September were about
$4,000, 900 compared with $57 Co.,
600 in September, 1885. The much
smaller payments, however, were
more than offset by the increase
in income from products sold.

Attention Called
To Traffic Deaths
Among Youngsters

An alarming increase in traffic
accident deaths of children of
grade school age in this state was
revealed today by A. v. Rohwed-
er, chairman of the Minnesota
Public Safety Committee.
Citing need for additional
caution on the part of motorists
and increased educational activity
by parents and safety leaders,
Rohweder said that fatalities
among children from to IA
years old as of November l of this
year equalled those for the entire
IL months of 1895.
"The traffic deaths among chill
dren of this age totaled 38 for
1885," he said. Reports received
by the committee for accidents
throughout the state up to only
November of this year showed
an equal number of fatalities"
Rohweder pointed out that no
deaths occurred while the chill
dren were under supervision of
school patrols. The majority of
the fatalities resulted while the
children were at play in the
streets. Others were caused by
automobile-bicycle collisions.

CHRISTMAS TREE
CUTTING BEGINS
Dealers and Citizens Warned
That All Trees Must
Bear Tags

Minnesota's one million dollar
Christmas tree industry began
last week when many dealers in
the northern part of the state
started cutting operations.
Under terms of the Christmas
tree tagging law, which went into
effect for the first time last year,
all dealers in Christmas trees
must purchase one or two cent
tags from the state division OF
forestry and attach them to their
trees.
Dealers who have obtained the
500 license must buy one cent
tags; unlicensed dealers buy the
two cent tags. Chemically pro-
cessed trees do not require the
tags.
Records of tag sales in 1885 show
that approximately 1,750,000
trees were cut and that 600, 900 of
this number were used in Mime
sofa. The bulk of the trees sent
out of the state went to upper
Mississippi valley, but some car
loads were traced as far south as
Atlanta, Georgia.
Mr.. Comet pointed out that the
law requiring Christmas trees to
be tagged has greatly reduced il
legal cutting and has prevented
over-production and waste.
ALI citizens are urged to see to
it that the trees they buy for the
holiday season are properly tag
ged.

ZOning Ordinance
Assailed In Suit

New Ulm-The zoning ordin-
ance adopted by the New Ulm
city council last December will
meet its first real test in the Mo-
vember session of district court.
Victor w. Bartl, object of the
councils wrath last summer when
he proceeded with the erection
Of bulk station in a district de-
signated by the planning commits
sion as residential, has filed a
summons and complaint against
the major, city clerk and each of
the councillors as individuals.
In the complaint which forms
the basis of a district court suit,
Bartl asks that the court declare
the city ordinance null and void
and goes on to show his reason
why he believes the ordinance is
contrary to law.
Bartl, who it was alleged last
summer, erected the tank against
the wishes Of the city council and
planning commissions, asserts in
the complaint that he had already
built the concrete foundations for
the tank and that he was merely
completing the work.

COMPLAINS

With the opening game with
Morton only two weeks away, the
high school basketball squad of
18 which answered the call Mon
day night will be reduced to ten
men before the week is over.
Five lettermen reported to
Coach Earle Obermeyer but the
mentor had little to say which
could be termed optimistic after
the first two nights practice. The
team, he figures, won't take any
of the shine off the great football
team which just became history.
The veterans include Noble
Starr, center; Paul Asleson and
Clark Thomson, forwards and
Russ Lauterbach and Bob Paff-
rath, guards. Leo Joe Lauterbach
will be out most of the season
with knee injury suffered in
football.
Neale Serkland will be another
strong candidate after the first
semester while Brainerd Otto
who played with the Martin Luz
ther B squad at New Ulm last
year may be among the first ten.
Cy Welch, Ross Lussenhop, Har-
old Quesenberry and Louis Kru-
ger are prospects from the jun
ior high squad of last season
while Fred Mack who moved here
from Los Angeles has had some
basketball experience.
After the Morton game, Red

State Roads Made
Safer By Removal
OF Grade Crossings

With nearly all of Minnesota's
federal allotment of railway
grade crossing funds spent or un-
der contract, the state has COM
pleted or contracted for the elm
ination of nearly 100 dangerous
rail-highway crossings, according
to N. w. Elsberg, state highway
commissioner. In addition it has
added to motoring safety by pro-
tecting nearly so grade crossings
with automatic electric signals
which fash red lights ON and OF
whenever a train approaches.
Most of the work is completed
or nearing completion, but a
small amount viii be in progress
during the winter. The highway
department received S., ,395 AL Of
emergency federal funds with
which to carry on the grade cros-
sing program. Minnesota has con-
sistently held first place among
all the states in the rapidity with
which its crossing examinations
under this program have been
completed.

CAREER BEGUN IN 1901
ENDS JANUARY 5
NEXT YEAR

Julius A. SchmahI of Redwood
Falls who is completing more
than third of a century as a
public official, this week issued a
public statement in which he ex-
pressed his appreciation for the
friendship and support shown
him over that period, mentioning
particularly the friendliness of
the journalism fraternity of
which he was a member before
entering politics.
Mr.. Schmahl's statement said:
"On January S next I will have
terminated "a years of service in
constitutional offices of Minneso-
ia, IA years as secretary of state
and ten years as state treasurer,
together with service of chief
clerk of the house of representa-
tives for three regular sessions
and one extra session, in all, COW
ering a period commencing with
1901. The confidence and friend
ship of the people of Minnesota
alone has made this long service
possible. Nearly all of the men
who sponsored my entrance into
public life have passed on. Fate
has left me to recall their names,
their deeds and mourn their de-
parture.
Following the advice of those
early public men I was determin-
ed and have given the state the
best efforts and thoughts within
me. Through their teachings I
looked upon conservation as a
heritage. Their thoughts were
further strengthened as a result
of the inherited blood coming
trough a German-born father
and mother. That have contin-
ued in the belief my strongest po-
Itical opponents will admit. To

SECOND DEGREE THEFT
CHARGE ARISES IN
CAFE INCIDENT

Appearing in Redwood Falls
municipal court Monday for the
second time this year, Peter
Mooney of Currie was charged
with attempting second degree
larceny on the complaint of Ros-
coe M. Bauerman, Sanborn cafe
owner, who claims that Mooney
attempted to rob the till in his
restaurant Saturday. Mooney de-
MED the charges and preliminary
examination will be held within
a week.
Bauerman claims that Mooney
came to the cafe Saturday and
ordered rolls and coffee. He
noticed the man attempting to
reach the cash register drawer
behind the counter and went to
the kitchen doorway to watch
him unobserved. In the mean
time Mrs. Bauerman also saw the
transient reaching for the till and
watched him through a peep-hole
in the wall between the kitchen
and main room. Mooney looked
up, saw Mrs. Bauerman and i'm
mediately left the restaurant.
Bauerman followed him down the
street, held him and notified an
officer who put him in the local
Jail from which he was later taxi
en- to the Redwood county Jail
where he is now lodged.
The till contained $35, the
amount which Mooney is charged
with attempting to steal, but
at his arraignment Monday he
said, "You can only hold me
Tor not paying for the coffee and
rolls" He admitted failing to
support his wife and two chill
dren who live at Currie.
Mooney is under an indeter-
inmate sentence for shoplifting
which was suspended when he
was tried in district court in
April. He was arrested in Red
wood Falls for stealing shirts
from the Montgomery Ward store.

Cardinals Among II Teams
Undefeated in Minnesota
FANS, GUESS SEVERAL
ON LIST WOULD BE
EASY FOES

One OF only a dozen Minnesota
high school football teams which
completed the season without
losing a game, the Cardinal grid
ders and fans had little left to do
this week except speculate on
how many of the other teams
Redwood Falls could lick if CIV
en- the chance.
Among the IL other teams is
Milroy which played only four
games but won them all. Tracy
|B team was beaten 20 to O, Tyler
was bested 6 to O and Minneota
and Ivanhoe provided no opposi-
ton at all with 40 to- 0 and 40 to
% scores. ~
Pleased as Milroy fans have a
right to be with such a record,
few of them would care to see
Milroy matched with the power
full Cards even in a breather
game. The same can be said of
West Concord which this year
burned up the Dodge county con-
ference that Coach Obermeyer's
Hayfield teams used to dominate
until he graduated to the Little
Ten league.
Far off 'Warroad fans, other
than that city's main booster
Cam West, would have a like
aversion to a Redwood -Warroad
game. Pennington has the Mis-
sissippi Valley conference in its
hand but Cannon Falls and Pine
Island are not such impressive
foes as Montevideo and Marshall
which Redwood had to beat to at
tain fame.
Approaching from the other
extreme, there is Minneapolis
South which dominated the Twin
Cities situation and might take
the Cardinals-after a good after
Moons work. Crosby Ironton is
up where the teams come tough
and Moorhead would provide fans
their full four-bits worth.
st. Augustine of Austin, Clo-
quet, Princeton and Deer River
complete the dozen triumphant
teams with claims to fame and If
the Cardinals were Notre Danes
ramblers, they might make a good
schedule of this quartet, with
prospects of winning most of their
games.
It's an idle waste of time since

$50 Turkeys Were

Fire destroyed a large barn and
750 young turkeys ON the David
