Vote [jNears
KNUDSON, BUDIK AND
PATTON FOR MAYOR,
ALDERMEN

Unless someone breaks the spell
before time for filing closes Mon
day afternoon, Redwood Falls
faces prospects of an exceedingly
quiet election, a unique situation
in view Of the stormy campaigns
of recent years.
To date only one candidate for
each office, all familiar names on
city election ballots, have signi-
fed their eagerness to serve the
city in an official capacity next
year.
John F. Knudson who has serv-
ed as alderman at various times
including a term he is now COM
pleting, broke the filing ice when
he entered his sombrero in the
mayorality race. He was still
alone in the ring Wednesday
night.
For the Knudson council berth,
DIR. j. c. Budik raised his hand
expressing a willingness to repre-
sent the first ward along with
George w. Huhnerkoch who de-
feated the dentist last year by a
margin of Is votes.
In the second ward George w.
Patton filed for reelection which
also is the aim of F. B. Forbes,
city recorder and F. w. Stanton,
treasurer.

Stores Close
Christmas Eve
WILL BE OPEN NIGHTS
NEXT WEEK; SALES
VERY GOOD

Redwood Falls stores will stay
open Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday evenings next week to ac-
commodate last minute Christmas
shoppers but stores, the theatre
and even some of the eating
places will close Christmas eve to
allow proprietors and employees
to spend the evening in their
homes.
This was announced this week
by Oscar Randgaard, president of
the Civic and Commerce associa-
ton, after representatives of the
organization had taken question
naires to store owners for an ex-
preston of opinion. The votes on
both were practically unanimous.
Favored with a good snowfall
which added to the holiday spirit
and then good weather for two
weeks, stores reported sales gem
orally greater than last year and
in some cases setting all time re-
cords for December.
Expecting improved times to
result in a real old-fashioned
Christmas, merchants stocked
much heavier than usual this year
and there was noticeable trend
toward higher grades of merchan-
disc in the gift suggestions. New
ertheless the crowds the last ten
days have carried away many
purchases and the prospects Of
few carry-overs in stocks are de-
cidedly favorable.
Suggestions of "mail early" at
the postoffice are turning to 'mail
now" as the parcel, card and let
ter rush promises to assume 1929
boom proportions.

Soil Conservation
Checks To Follow
Application Okays

Application for soil conserva-
ton benefit payments were sign
ed last week by farmers of Red
wood county, the final step before
receipt of checks under the gov
ernment's new crop reduction
program.
Members of the committee ex-
pected that by the end of the
week about 800 applications will
be ready to send to st. Paul.
AS soon as approval of the ap-
plications is given, the checks will
start to come.
The summaries upon which the
applications are based require
considerable work as one of the
blanks contains map of the farm
showing each field and what is
planted in it.

Ten
Conference
Breaking UP
MARSHALL AND TRACY
JOIN SOUTHWEST
LEAGUE

A possibility that the Little Ten
athletic conference will be dis
solved was voiced Wednesday af-
ternoon by Reede Gray, superin-
tendent of schools, who attended
a conference of Little Ten officials
in New Ulm Wednesday night.
Although publicity on the SUBJ
ject has been quashed in an effort
to maintain the organization, it
has been known for some time
that Marshall and Tracy desire to
withdraw from the group because
it is sometimes necessary for them
to take their teams as far as 100
miles to play single game. A
Fairmont representative has not
met this season with other Off
cials and they assume that Fair
mont, also a town on the edge of
the district, is not interested in
continuing its affiliation.
AT the last meeting of the group
both Marshall and Tracy repre-
sentatives gave notice of their in
tention to withdraw and both
towns have joined the Southwest
ern conference which includes
also Window, Worthington, jack
son, Lakefeld, Luverne, Pipe
stone and Slayton. Mountain Lake
also enters in basketball competi-
ton.
Sentiment in Redwood Falls
appears to be that, although men,
bership in the Little Ten has in
creased interest in football, addi-
tional gate receipts will be real
lied from games with natural ri
walls such as Sleepy Eye and New
Ulm, with whom games have not
been scheduled since the round
robin system Of play within the
league was inaugurated two years
ago.
