ment was authorized to prepare

ular meeting Monday night.
The council also approved the
election of Joseph NJ. Corbett as

$25 per year.
A recommendation by Putnam
M. Smith, supervisor of KIND,
that interference by electrical ap-
paratus in the residential district
with radio reception, be cleared up
to the advantage Of the station
and to home reception, was taken
under advisement by the council
and it was suggested that the SUBJ
ject be discussed with the county
board.
j. Albert johnson was reap
pointed assessor at salary of
$500, while w. A. Hauck was
again named manager of the num-
icipal liquor store, with his salary

An offer signed by the publish
ers of both Redwood Falls news
papers to print the legal publica-
tions of the city in both papers for
the rate chargeable under state
law for the publication of legal
matters in one paper was rejected.
The city paid legal rates for no
tees in only one paper until de-
preston years when the papers
alternately accepted the work
at 80 per cent of legal rates, a
saving to the city of about $40.

ELECTRIC PROJECT
EXPECTED TO BE
READY BY MARCH
$50 Sign To Erect Power
Line to Farms;
500 Goal

Redwood county's first project
to bring electric power to farms is
expected to be presented for ap-
proval to the Rural Electrifcation
Administration in Washington
about March 1, Adrian M. Wilson,
assistant county agent announced
Wednesday.
Farmers who wish to partici-
pate in and benefit from the pro-
ject are being signed, with $50
obtained to date and with the final
number expected to be in the
neighborhood Of 500 farmers. An
engineer will then be engaged to
plan the erection of the power
lines and the project submitted for
approval.
If the project is approved, Mr..
Wilson stated, the necessary funds
to carry on the construction would
be borrowed from the REA to be
repaid in 20 years, with three per
cent interest. On completion of
the lines, bids would be called on
contracts for the supplying of the
power, with the view in mind to
obtain cheap electricity for the
rural areas.
It has been estimated, according
to Mr.. Wilson, that the lines, in
cluding transformers, meters,
switches and connections to the
homes, would cost approximately
5000 per mile, or $500 for each
subscriber. Given 20 years in
which to pay for the lines the
monthly payments, including that
for the current, would amount to
about $4.12 for each farmer. No
individual or group is liable or
offers any personal security for
the REA loan, the government
taking first mortgage on the
line as its surety, he said.

.PLOWS AT WORK
ON MAIN ROADS;
SCHOOLS REOPEN
County Buried by Another 5
Inches of Snow, Piled
High by Winds
Travellers Stranded; Trains
Cancelled But Expect
To Resume Today

Redwood Falls and most Of
southwestern Minnesota hoped to
return to normal today after
tie-up lasting from Monday night
through Wednesday, when gale
whipped snow and sub-zero temp
eratures left the section practical
ly isolated.
State highways and state aid
roads were expected to be in shape
for travel, while both railways
were hoping to send their trains
through on regular schedule.
Schools in rural districts and
towns throughout the county alss
planned to open their doors again
after the storm had compelled
many of them to remain closed
since Tuesday.
Little relief from the cold is an
ticipated, however, as continued
sub-zero temperatures is the
weather forecast for today. We'd
nesday the mercury fell to % de-
grees below zero at a. M, climb
ed to 10 degrees above at 2 p. m.
and then dropped again last night.
Monday nights snowfall regist-
cred five and one-half inches, or
four-tenths of an inch of precipi-
tation, while the high wind the
succeeding day left roads in their
worst condition in years. Broad
casts were sent out over Twin Cit
les radio stations that southwest
ern Minnesota was virtually snow
ed in and operations toward dig
ging out were useless until drift
ing winds abated. ses
Many motorists driving on the
highways were unable to make
any appreciable progress while
the binding snow blotted out Wis
ibility and covered the road, COM
pelling them to put up at the near
est town or farm house.
The mail tie-up here was the
worst in nearly a decade, postal
clerks said Wednesday afternoon.
No Twin Cities mail had arrived
since Monday noon when the usual
delivery of mail carried to Win
throp on the M and st. L and
brought here by star route was
made. The star route truck came
through Wednesday but since the
train had not run to Winthrop, it
had only mail picked up along the
line east and as far west as Bel
view. Mail from here was dis
patched over this route.
The Morgan star route driver
came through Tuesday but re-
manned here until Wednesday
when he went back and brought
the mail here again, also making
the return trip. The Marshall to
Sleepy Eye star route, serving
several Redwood county towns,
made it's last trip Monday and
even then was forced to come
through Redwood Falls on its re-
turn trip to get through. High
drifts may continue the isolation
of towns on that route until late
in the week.
A battery of seven plows was
called into action Wednesday by
Richard Cook, county engineer, to
buck the huge drifts and the state
aid roads were expected to be
cleared by late last night. 1t was
feared, however, that number of
township roads will remain closed
for some time. The plows encount-
cred considerable difficulties in
pushing back the snow as the
roads are already banked high

Four of Defendants in Action
Appear; Jurisdiction

That an attempt will be made
to show that there was fraud and
collusion between the state high

versy flared between Judge Albert
H. Emerson, who is hearing the
case and John E. KatZmarek, spe-
cial state attorney-general, repre-
senting the state highway depart
ment, when the latter sought to
question the jurisdiction of the
court over the matter of prevent
ing payment of the settlement.
Judge Emerson overruled Katzma-
rek's objection, a number Of per-
sons in the we'll filled court room
applauding the judges action and
compelling him to rap for order.
4 Defendants Here
Four of the parties named in
the proceedings, an order to show
cause, were present as the hearing
opened. They were Julius A. Sch
mahl, state treasurer; Stafford
King, state auditor; Mr.. Murphy

right-of-ways for the highway de-
partment. Those absent were

visional engineer of the highway
department was also present in
the court room.

ThreeTypeS
Of Cream
For Beauty
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

OUR lesson today is concerned with
~ the particular type or types of
cream to choose You have taken an
inventory of your skin Il hope). And
you have studied your skin and CLASH
fed it as dry, normal. oily, wrinkled,
marred with enlarged pores, black
heads or eruptions.
First, there are cleansing creams
Sometimes they are called cold cream.
Most popular of the cleansing creams
is the liquefying type, which Is very
soft in consistency, melts to an Oil
on coming in contact with the skin,
washing away surface dust, dirt and
accumulations. The liquefying type is
considered best adapted to the oily
skin. The cold cream type or cleansing
and massage type of cream Is more
solid looking, not transparent, usually
whittier and heavier than the liquefying
cream. This is suited to all types of
skin, particularly the dry, fragile
variety.
The second type for study: Lubri-
eating creams. Women are often be-
wildered by the various names that
manufacturers attach to this type. 1t
may be called nourishing cream, tissue
cream, tissue builder. skinfood, mas
sage cream, molding cream, emollient
cream, night cream, facial cream or
wrinkle cream. All one type, however,
fairly heavy consistency. although here
it may vary from light to a quite
heavy nourishing cream, rich in oils,
containing such ingredients as lanolin,
cocoa butter, sweet almond oil to
soothe and heal and counteract chap
ping or effects of exposure.
Foundation, finishing or vanishing
creams. The very young skin does not
need any foundation. The so-called
vanishing creams were, in years past,
inclined to be drying and therefore
adapted to the oily skin, but today
the creams are usually made particu-
larly for the dry or oily type.
Many women have asked for few
simple recipes for preparations to
make at home. A self-addressed,
stamped (3-cent) envelope will bring
INV bulletin on the subject to you.

DEAR MRS POST: I worked all

DEAR MRS POST: I worked all
last Summer for the secretary
to very famous writer who has a
Summer house in my home town.
had to work in order to earn enough
money to go back to college this
Winter. This secretary has always
seemed very interested in me, and has
expressed admiration of my ambition
TO get a higher education against such
odds. When time came for me to leave
this Autumn, she offered to drive me
In her car as far as the city and
thereby save me considerable money.
On the morning we left gave her a
f1ve-dollar bill and asked her to buy
my ferry ticket when she paid for hers
and for the car, and afterwards in
the excitement of having to drive on
the boat Immediately, she pocketed
over four dollars of my money. I
knew she did not mean to keep it,
but did not like to say anything
just then. She bought my lunch and
paid for my dinner when we got to
the city. and told me I was her guest
at both and took me to the train,
But all this time there was no mention
Of the ferryboat change and 1 decided
that I would forget it since she had
been So good to me. However, Just
before the train pulled out, she rushed
back into my car and breathleSsly
thrust the crumpled bills into my
hand and said should have reminded
her and that she had almost broken
her ankle In her frantic rush to get
back to the train in time. She apollo
gized for having probably ruined my
entire day. After the train pulled out
/ felt that had been very unapprecia-
tive of her kindness and I wish you
would tell me what should have done
and perhaps something can still do
to make myself seem less so.
Answer-It Is always best to take
questions of payment as a matter
of course and as unself- consciously
as possible. 1t would have been much
better to have said half teasingly or
half laughingly as she put t in her
pocket, Wasn't that my changer"
Or 'Don't get any changer" Or if
you must be serious, then later: How
much was my boat fare?" Or, looking
into your purse-1 gave you my
flve-dollar bill, didn't -" Just what
you said would somewhat have de.
pended upon your own natural i'm.
pulse OF expression, and also upon the
type OF person she happens to be.
But nearly all of us do absent minded
things-I know I do-and speaking
for myself, had been in Miss
Secretary's place I would have been
very much distressed, not only then,
but fearful always in future, lest 7
do something of the same sort at
some time again. If felt sure that
you would remind me of what owe
you, should be tranquil. Don't you
see this?

leave your napkin folded loosely to.

But If you are staying in a simple
house in which you know it is not
likely that they can supply fresh
napkins at every meal. you would
better fold it neatly.

The word protein comes from a
Greek verb, meaning Ito be first"
Nearly one hundred years ago a Ger
tain famous scientist gave the name
protein to what he then believed to
be the main substance of the body,
and therefore first" in importance.
The plural form, proteins. has come
to mean a large number of related
chemical compounds which are essen
tial to the perfect formation OF all
plant and animal tissues.
Plants manufacture their proteins
from the substances they get from the
soil and the air. Animals must get
theirs, more or less ready made, in the
food which they consume. Chemically,
proteins are composed Of substances
called amino acids, of which there are
more than eighteen varieties.
THERE are so many combinations
of these acids that no one food
can possibly contain them all, nor
does the body need to get every single
one OF them. Some are, of course,
essential and it Is with these that the
dietary experts are most concerned.
Milk, cheese, meats, fish, poultry
and eggs are rich in all the essential
amino acids. They are. therefore,
designated as first quality efficient"
proteins.
Nuts and legumes are also rich in
protein, but here the protein varies
in quality and usefulness. Nuts have
so much fat in their makeup that it
is hard to use nuts enough to meet
the protein requirement without get
ting far too much fat into the diet.
Peanuts and soybeans contain good
quality protein. Ordinary beans and
peas have high protein percentage,
but it is of such a quality that it needs
reinforcement from some other ele-
ments in the diet. This may be sup
piled by meat or by a glass of milk.
Other vegetables, the grains and
the fruits contain protein, but it is
not of very high quality. In the leafy
