Pro- 0ftable Business

Proof of the ability of the Min
|neapolis and st. Louis railroad to
maintain itself successfully as q
unit was. petition just presented
in United States district court re-
questing permission to pay $780,
QUO of its debts.
It is anticipated that the
amount, if allowed by the court
will go to the reducing of receiv-
ers' certificates to $1,005, 900. AT
one time there were 81, $50, 900 Of
these certificates outstanding. II
was explained to the court the
road has been discounting its bills
and since the first of the year has
had not less than $400, 900 cash on
hand at all times. Earnings are
exceeding expectations, running
20 per cent ahead of last year.
The senate inquiry into the pro-
posed sale and dismemberment of
lne M & st. L, under a plan which
many senators feel was Matched
in the offices of the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation and are
determined to find out why, has
disclosed that the road is being
well maintained and its equipment
is sufficient to handle so per cent
more business than it now enjoys
An expert for the interstate
commerce commission told the
senators that he did not feel q
loan of $15,000,000 to the road
would be out of the way. The
Associated Railways company
proposes to buy it in its entirety
for $7,200,000. It also was shown
at the hearing that the road this
year should earn enough to pay
La five per cent return on a capt.
alization of at least $4,000, 900.

sion has announced it is working
out an alternate plan for the road

late of the junior league, was used
from the seventh inning on to give
him experience and while he got
into occasional scrapes, got off
with one run and indicated he
will be of value as relief hurler.
Another youngster, Jim Keefe,
contributed the longest bingle OF
the afternoon, a homer into right
field which climaxed a six run
opening inning to which the wild
ness OF Rucker, opening pitcher,
was contributing factor. An
other run was added in the third,
three in the fourth and one each
in the sixth and seventh as the
Redwood players grouped their
hits.
Several men who are new in
the city since last season have
Joined the roster and several made
good showings. Although four
errors were charged to Redwood
players, the fielding never appear
ed to be sloppy. The real test of
the team will be whether it can
hit when faced with better than
average pitching.

Mistake in Dates Results
In Missing Saturday
Meet at New Ulm

Left out of the district 10
track meet through no fault of its
own, Redwood Falls will never
theless be entered in competition
in the regional met Saturday at
Marshall, according to a ruling
made Monday night by the re-
gional committee.
Through misinformation receiv-
ed by Superintendent Reede Gray
and Coach Eilif Miller, Redwood
Falls was absent from the district
meet held Saturday at New Ulm,
which was won by the home school
with TN points. The difficulty
arose when an eligibility blank
marked District Track Meet,
May 16" was received here ana
then was followed by another
form headed District Track Meet,
May 18." Officials here believed
the date had been changed to
Monday of this week to coincide
with the Little Ten meet schedul-
ed for the same day and dropped
plans to go to New Ulm Saturday.
The meet was delayed a half
hour while the officials waited for
Redwood Falls but when the Card
inals did not arrive the events
were run-off.
When the situation was cleared
up Monday through extensive tel
ephoning by Superintendent Gray,
it was found that the fault lay at
New Ulm and that the second en-
try blank received here should
have been headed Little Ten meet.
Superintendent Gray appealed
to 0. E. Smith of Anoka, executive
secretary of the State High School
Athletic association, the latter re-
cognizing that Redwood Falls was
not to blame and recommended to
the regional committee that Red
wood Falls be permitted to enter
the regional meet without the nee
essity of district competition, the
contestants who placed first, sec
ond or third in the Little Ten
meet beng declared eligible for
the Marshall events.
The Cardinals win send q
squad of seven to the regional,
the group consisting of Steve Ing
lis, Bob Paffrath, NQrville Fore
man, Harold Lindeman, Noble
/ Starr, Ross Lussenhop and Rus
sell Lauterbach. On Inglis viii
rest the responsibility of Red
wood Falls turning in . good
showing as to date he has
marked himself as the best per
former ON the squad. He Is nm
beaten IN the high jump an

he win be able to win his way 70

Redwood Boy, IN Belgium,
Carries American Flag IN
DarnienF funeral Procession

A letter this week from Harold
Whittet, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Whittet of Redwood Falls
who is studying for the priest
hood in Louvain, Belgium, gave a
detailed description of the burial
of Father Damien there and the
part Harold played in the solemn
ceremony.
Louyain is near Tremaloo,
birthplace of the famous priest,
in 184O, who went as missionary
to the Pacific islands and was or
dained a priest at Honolulu in
1864. In 1873 he volunteered to
become priest of Molokai island, q
colony for persons afflicted with
leprosy, where he ministered to
the unfortnnates' spiritual needs
and greatly improved sanitary
conditions. In 1889 he died of the
dread disease. Recently the body
was removed from the island and
taken to Honolulu, then to the
Canal Zone and on to Antwerp.
Describing the event as the
biggest days of my whole life, !"
Harold tells Of going to Antwerp
by bus May 3 where an immense
crowd, including the King of Bel
gium, the Cardinal and many bis
nops, met the body.
In Pathe News
Arriving at Antwerp at noon,
Harold's party had dinner and
went to the docks expecting the
procession to start at z. For two
and one-half hours the crowd
waited, standing, before the
march started to the Cathedral of
Antwerp, requiring an hour. Har-
old was in the delegation of
American Legion men from Brus-
sells and marched in the procession
which he said was photographed
by news reel men, the Pathe News
getting a particularly good shot
of the group he was in. The
streets the entire length of the
route were packed with people,
some of whom had been waiting
since 10 a. m. to get a glimpse of
the hearse.
1t was at Louvain, Harold's let
ter says, "That we Americans
really did shine" He had the
singular honor of carrying the
American flag leading the entire
procession. His party had rush
ed there from Antwerp and
planned to start at 8 p. m. but
the crowds along the way wishing
to touch the coffin were so great
that it did not arrive until after
midnight. Meanwhile the already
tired group waited, standing on
cobble stones.
Sees Last Rites
The procession which reached
the Church of st. Peter at a. m.
was over a quarter of mile long,
walking very slowly. Ceremony
and singing took place at the
church after which people filed
past the casket, touching rosaries
and holy cards to it, all night
long.
Harold wrote that he retired at
2 and was up again at $50 for
mass, going then to. st. Peters
church where people were still
filing past the coffin. After solemn
mass at 10 and the sermon, the
body was taken to the Church Of
st. Joseph for burial. In that pro-
cession he was body guard to the
flag. He was present as the card
inal ended the ceremonies.
He sent pictures of the process
sion and cards which he had
touched to the coffin to his near
relatives.

And Harvesting Costs


And Harvesting Costs
All information and cost figures
given below are quoted from own
er's letters and authentic reports
on file concerning the 1885 field
performance of All-Crop Harvest
ers over wide range of territory
and variety of crops.
Indiana-Have cut over 300
acres of various kinds of crops
and earned enough money to pay
for combine and all fuel and oil
bills to date.
Ohio = Bought our All-Crop
about July Harvested 65 acres
of wheat, 10 acres of rye, IL acres
of oats, 70 acres sweet clover, and
over $50 acres of soybeans, aver
ing IL to Is acres per day. The
combine has more than paid for it
self this year.
Kansas-In wheatland milo the
All-Crop increased the yield near
ly 500 over what conventional
combine did, because did not crack
the grain and got it all-can see
where my combining cost will be
cut at least 500 in wheat next
year.
Illinois - Combined 428 acres
small grain with All-Crop at $500
per acre for a gross earnings OF
S956.O0. Gasoline cost $62.45, oil

Cards Third In
Conference Meet

Winning five firsts and finishing
strong in other scoring positions
New Ulm won the Little Ten con-
ference track title Monday after
noon on the New Ulm track. The
victors totalled II points, while
Marshall was second with 81 and
Redwood Falls third, with 81. Only
the three schools participated in
the meet.
The Cardinals also took five
events but were not able to gath
er many seconds, thirds, fourths
and fifths. Steve Inglis annexed
three of the first places for Red
wood Falls by taking the high
jump, broad Jump and the high
hurdles, while Noble Starr won
the low hurdles and Bob Paffrath
the shot put.
Inglis' mark in the broad jump,
~ feet GA inches, surpassed his
best jump at Carleton where he
won the event. It also bettered
the district record by six inches.
He also reached his peak in the
high jump with a leap of 5 feet
~ inches, tying the district record
held by Ward Cuff of Redwood
Falls and beating his mark at
Mortified. Paffrath's throw of
AZ feet 10 inches was the best
mark he has set in competition
this season, while Starr scored his
| first triumph when he ran away
with the low hurdles.
The results:
Pole vault-Gervais, NJ, first,

and found it better than any
other combine / ever saw or used.
Summary
The extracts from All-Crop
owners letters and reports listed
above are typical of the expert
ences of hundreds of other ALL
Crop Harvester owners all over
the country.
They have found out they can
harvest their crops at lower cost
than ever before, far below any
thing possible with either the
Binder -Thresher or Conventional
Combining method. They have
harvested all their small grain,
seed, and bean crops with this one
machine, without complicated and
expensive special equipment, and
prepared them for market in bet
ter shape than ever before. They
have cut, threshed, and saved
badly damaged or weed infested
crops that could not have been
handled by either binder of con-
ventional combine. They have in
creased yields and gotten better
prices for their crops because they
could harvest at the right time
and in the right way. And last
but not, least, they have done all
this with a lower overhead invest
ment than ever before; for the
ALL Crop is sold at price that
makes it possible for every farm
er to own combine.
In this discussion, you have the
Facts and Figures-which way is
best for you-for your farm-your
crops-your conditions your pow
er and your p0cketbook. The ALI
Crop Harvester is the third way,
the new way, and the best way
for you and every farmer. 1t is
the Successor to the binder-the
machine that is destined to revol-
utionize the harvesting habits of
a nation.
The Redwood gazette., 1936-05-21

Sleepy Eye-A two hundred
pound corner stone and a quantity
of brick on the north west corner
of the north wing of the public
school dislodged from the second
story and fell to the ground some
time during the night. 1t may
have been caused by strong winds
or weakness in construction while
some are of the opinion that the
building was struck by lightning
during a heavy rain storm.

A new, Chevrolet truck with a
larger capacity than the one it
replaces was put on the route this
week by the Redwood Cleaners.
Cream colored with red and green

GOLF FIRST ROUND
PACED BY PICARD
Pennsylvania Posts a 70,
Two Under Par-FaVored
With Sarazen.
BY the Associated Press.

SPRINGFIELD, N. j., June A.
Pacing the big field with consist
emily fine shotmaking performance,
tall Henry Picard of Hershey. Pa, CO.
favorite with Gene Sarazen, today
posted a 10, two under par, for the
first round Of the United States open
golf championship.
Followed by a gallery Of several
hundred fans, Picard looked the part
of the 8-to-1 shot that he was at the
outset of the tournament. The big,
Massachusetts born professional
played steady but unspectacular golf.
Over par on only one hole, the short
fifteenth, where he over-played his tee
shot, Picard had brides on the first
fourth and seventeenth, due more to
the accuracy of his approaches than
anything startling in the putting line.
He was rarely in anything resembling
trouble, finding the rough only twice.
His best shots were from traps on the
first and fourteenth.
Craig Wood FaIters.
Craig Wood, one of New Jerseys
favorite sons, faltered in pursuit of
Picard on the last two holes and fin
ished his round with II, one under
par, and one shot behind the pace
maker Three puts. from only z feet,
on the 18th and two puts from only
a yard on the home green, diSsipated

most OF the sub-par advantage Wood
had erected with four brides.
Woods round, in contrast with
Picard's, was marked by series of
sensational recoveries. The victim Of
many a sour turn of fortune in COLTS
main events, Wood had his share Of
good luck today when it came to ex-
Treating himself from trouble. Ex-
cept on the last two holes, he was
deadly with his chipper and putter.
He dropped 20-foot putt on the sixth
and a 30-footer on No. IL, the 602-
yard layout that was giving most Of
the field a lot of trouble.
1t was a seven at the 18th that cost
Herman Barron, White Plains, a
chance to stick to Picard's heels. Bar
ron finished with 10.
Despite favorable conditions, with
the pins located invitingly, the van
guard seeking to take the title away
from Sam Parks, jr, did not by any
means take the Baltusrol upper course
apart. Numerous scores in the high
70's and scattering in the 80's testi-
fed to the ability of the Nations best
shotmakers to get into trouble.
LOngworth Shoots IL.
Ted Longworth, from Portland,
Greg, turned in the third subpar
score when he shot II to stand even
with Wood at the quarter pole" in
the 72-hole golflng derby. Par 72 was
