Man Killed by
Lightning on
~Green Lake
GIRL AND GUIDE GET
TO ISLAND WITH
FILLING BOAT

Spicer-Victim of a most un-
usual accident, Lloyd H. Wagner,
SO, of Minneapolis, was instantly
killed Sunday afternoon about
5:45 when a bolt of lightning
struck him as he was fishing in a
boat off Hultgren's beach, about
half a mile east of the 'big is
land" in Green lake.
In the boat with him were
Jack Henderson of Spicer, who
was running the boat and guiding
Wagner on the fishing trip, and
Miss Frances Aslakson of Mime
apolis.
The lightning struck Wagner
on the right side of the head and
death came instantly. The bolt
tore through the boat, making
three holes in the bottom. Hender-
son was stunned by the force and
suffered cut over one eye. He
was knocked out for a brief per-
iod but recovered in time to guide
the rapidly filling boat, to the is
land, where they arrived in the
nick of time. Miss Aslakson was
not injured, aside from being
badly shaken up.
The force of the lightning tore
part of Wagner's clothing from
his body and ripped off life belt
which he wore around his waist.
Other nearby fishing parties
rescued Henderson and Miss As
lakson and took Wagner's body to
shore. Coroner Jacobs and the
sheriff's office were Immediately
notified and visited the scene.

Hits Tax Plan
Sc DIRECTORS IN ELEVEN
ASSOCIATIONS AT
MEETING HERE

Sixty-three representatives of
IL southwestern Minnesota build
ing and loan associations ban
quoted at the Ramsey Hotel Fri
DAY evening and engaged in a
discussion of common problems
which was proved wholly sue
cessful when the group voted un-
animouSly to hold such meetings
semi-annually.
John F. Scott of st. Paul, chair
man of the state building and loan
associations legislative commit
t~e, discussed the taxation ques-
ten which he declared to be the
most serious facing the associa-
tons today. He protested the
proposed money and credits tax on
mortgages on the grounds that it
would affect interest rates to the
detriment of borrowers and de-
c1ared efforts to place building
and loan associations under the
state income tax laws are grossly
unfair unless all cooperative in
situations are made subject to the
income tax.
Mrs. D. E. Crary of st. Cloud,
secretary of the state building
and loan league, urged associa-
tons not already enrolled to join
that organization and Olaf Larson
of Montevideo spoke on his
groups success with insurance of
accounts, urging the insurance as
good advertising.
F. A. Amundson, building and
loan supervisor of the state bank
ing department, talked early in
tthe meeting on a uniform &C
counting system for associations
and as the final part of the pro-
,gram, conducted a lively discus
sion of questions concerning
building and loan activities.
George A. Barnes presided at
the meeting and introduced
speakers. He declared as the
meeting closed that it had been
q real credit to the banking de-
partment.

School adopts
New Athletic
j Awards Plan
SENIORS MAY RECEIVE
SWEATERS UNDER
NEW SYSTEM

A new plan of presenting ath-
letic awards will be inaugurated
at Redwood Falls High school this
year. The idea was formulated
by Earle Obermeyer, coach, and
has received the commentator OF
o. E.. Smith, secretary of the
state high school league.
Sweaters will be given grad
uating seniors who attain 80
points for participation in ath-
letics and letters will be given as
minor awards, also to seniors
only. Lower classmen will not
receive letters but will get certi-
ficates of points earned at the
end of each year. The system is
intended to eliminate the posi-
bility of certain athletes receiving
up to II letters and to give some
recognition to the faithful player,
whether or not he is outstanding.
Regular members of a team will
receive 10 points. Those filling
minimum requirements for let
ter under the present system Will
be given seven points; substitutes
for full season will get five
points and those substituting on
the squad for part time only will
receive three.
Team managers will receive
seven points for one season with
each team and cheer leaders will
oe awarded nine points a year.
In cases of injury, the coach
will extend points which the ath-
lete might have earned had he
rot been hurt.

Pioneer Recalls Period When Men
Did All the Work Around Elevator

The speed, convenience and
mechanical aids to labor in the
new elevator are far cry from
elevator equipment in 1886, &C
cording to A. G.. Tradewell, North
Redwood pioneer.
Tradewell was manager of the
Pacific Grain company elevator
in the village for As years, assum-
ing the position in 1886.
When he began his work there,
two years after the railroad came
through, the elevator was merely
fiat house and grain was hand
led in sacks. Five or six men
were required to assist with the
loading and unloading during
busy periods.
Grain was shoveled by hand
into Is bushel hoppers, mounted
on Wheelbarrows, hauled by hand
to cars and shoveled into them by
man power.
In 1890 there was what seemed
then wonderful improvement at
the place. A cupola was added
and a horse furnished the power
which elevated the grain.
About SO years ago another
modern gadget was installed, a
gasoline engine which furnished
power for the leg. eve sure
thought it was a slick rig" says
TraGeWell.
Grain, however, was still hand
led in sacks until 1910 when
dump scales were installed.
No wonder Mr.. Tradewell says,
Young men nowadays don't
know anything about work.

ers Elevator, a $4,000 bushel cap
acity building containing all the

Speed of distributing, loading,
cleaning and grading grain is one
of the outstanding features of the

The leg" conveys and distri-
butes grain at the rate of 5000

in an hour.
The new dump scale is 26 feet
long with a 20 ton capacity and
hydraulic hoists tip trucks and
wagons SC that dumping is con-
Venient.
There is two room office de-
corated on walls and ceiling with
silver for the effect of greater
light.
The outside is of galvanized
iron and a flour and feed ware
house have been added at the east
side.
The Farmers elevator company

Aberdeen, South Dakota put up
the new building and c. A. Fobes
of Redwood Falls did the electric
al work.
