Redwood Falls water depart
ment is now a paying business.
The pump house built about so
years ago was intended to house
a municipality owned light and
and power plant as well, but the
water department was Sin the
reH' for years after its inauglr-
alton and the city fathers of that
day didn't think it wise to add
another public utility to its bur-
den.
In those days the pumps were
operated by steam and the orig
inaI steam-powered pump is still
in the place. About four times a
year it is run, oiled and condi-
toned SO that any emergency will
still find it ready for use.
The second picture shows the
three horsepower motor and tur-
bine pump used on the newest
city well, the pride Of Water
Superintendent Tom Seifert's
heart. The well, drilled last year
as test, will pump 500 gallons a
minute and has increased the
water supply materially.
Air conditioning plants and
lifting restrictions on watering
lawns have increased water con-
sumption from about 100000 gall
Ions in an average day last year
to 800, 900 this year.
The water tower which Mr..
Seifert regularly calls 'the
standpipe" was built in 1918. 1t
is the third such structure here.
The first was a wooden tower
which fell in 1901 while two
thirds full. Mr.. Seifert, who was
standing near the depot saw it
crash. Next came a steel tower
which was replaced with the pre-
sent one. The tank has a capacity

Rain Helps Spread
Disease of Horses

Rains have led to an increase in
sleeping sickness among horses in
Redwood county, according to
veterinarians. Rain adds to the
number of breeding places for
mosquitoes which are generally
believed to carry the germ.
Running "a hours a day with a
crew of "a men, the Redwood
rendering plant is working at full
capacity, taking in on an average
of 60 horses dead from the dis
ease a day and refusing many or
ders.
Redwood Falls veterinarians
are treating about eight new cases
per day.

All Clubs to
Mark Silver
Anniversary
GLEN p. HAMILTON OF
LAMBERTON FIRST
COUNTY WINNER

Glen P. Hamilton, formerly of
Lamberton, was Redwood coun-
tvs first All club member it was
recalled this week as the county
organization planned to take part
in the silver anniversary of the
founding of club work at the state
fair in September.
Hamilton was one Of "a farm
boys, selected from counties
throughout the state to attend the
Farm Boys camp as guests of the
state fair in 1912. From that
group grew the Al club which
still maintains the camp as part
of its program.
He won his trip with an essay
Our Farm Home" in which he
described the Hamilton farm five
and a half miles northwest of
Lamberton, argued the advant-
ages of farm over city life, and
made several suggestions for the
Improvement Of agriculture in this
section.
Ralph Hutchinson of Redwood
Fall was second in the county
contest and Ray Blethen of Wal
nut Grove, third.
Recommended Cars
Raising more cattle and hogs
and such stock will bring more
financial returns" Hamilton said,
Also erecting a silo would help
in saving feed and having fresh
feed for the stock.
I'm order to make farm life
more enjoyable, we might have
an auto in which, after our work
is done for the day, we might
spend an hour or so riding
around"
The writer of "Our Farm
Home" is now a salesman for the

,of 100000 gallons and is filled
about five times every "a hours
during the season of heavy water
consumption. The two reservoirs
at the pump house contain $4,000
gallons each and water from them
is forced up the 200 foot elevation
from the pump house to the 1875
foot tower.
Thomas Seifert was named
water superintendent August Is,
1927. He was well-acquainted
with his job as he had worked at
the plant for 10 years while en-
ployed by A. c. Burmeister, for
mer superintendent there.
His job lasts "a hours a day,
seven days a week. He must be

ever we desire to do. It has been

building, and the extra week will
be made up during the year, poss-
IDLY at Christmas time.
Auditorium seats, stage equip
ment and some of the laboratory
fixtures are not likely to be COM
pletely installed. Classroom seat
ing will be in place and the sound
system will be working. 1t is here
now, waiting for the expert who
will supervise its installation.
Modern Building
From the floodlighted front en-
frances, which match to the min
utest detail the Lincoln building
trim, to the garage and loading
platform in the rear, and through
three floors, the new building is
modern and complete in every
sense of the words.
Largest room of the building
and the one which will be most
frequently visited by others than
school children is the auditorium
gymnasium which occupies the
southeast part of the structure.
Classrooms and laboratories sur
round it on the north and west in
an IL" shape plan.
The auditorium will seat
1,200 in permanently installed
seats, including those on the main
floor and on the balcony, which
is entered from the second floor
level. Bleachers and temporary
chairs will give a total capacity of
1000, not counting standing room,
when basketball Journeys and
music festivals are brought here.
Steel frames for the steel bas-
ketball backboards are already
installed on the stage which is
large enough to accommodate not
only regulation basketball court
but bleacher seats at the rear of
the stage besides. The stage wall
is wainscoted with tile except
Immediately behind each basket
where cork wall is provided for
the protection of players who
follow-through" on their shots.
1t is fair example of the detail
with which the entire building
has been planned.
All Sound Treated
Like practically every other
room in the building, the auditor
ium has been acousti-treated with
Celotex. The ceiling is covered
with the perforated material,
painted before application, and
great panels on the walls are sim
ilarly covered. Great crowds will
be able to yell at the top of their
lungs in the place without Great
ing the din which is caused by
echoes and re-echoes in an un-
treated room.
Marble slabs line the lower
part of the walls in the entrances
and up the broad stairs which
handrails divide in three parts. A
broad hall in the west sector of
the building leads past two ticket
windows and two trophy cases to
the rear entrances of the auditor
ium. The hallway floors are of
terraza and the walls are tiled to
head-height.
The main floor includes eight
classrooms, one being an English
room with a stage, the principals
office, storeroom for gymnas-
ium equipment, toilet rooms for
boys and girls and one for faculty
men. Each classroom has a built
in cabinet for books, papers and
the teachers wearing apparel.
Besides the auditorium balcony,
the upper floor includes large
study room with some library
facilities, replacing the assembly
room of less modern schools. A
large chemistry and physics lab
oratory and a large biology "lab"
are on the north while five other
class rooms and one smaller room
and lavatory facilities for boys,
