Business Breaks Records as
Christmas Season Neurs End
RELIGIOUS SERVICES
PLANNED; SOCIAL
ACTIVITIES ON

This week Redwood Falls
enters the holiday season, its
business, religious and social
life at their height to climax
a year generally prosperous
and happy.
Tonight the city postoffice
force will sit together at din
ner, relaxing for the first
time in several days as their
busiest season in years closes.
The dinner will be given at
Hotel Ramsey by Postmaster
Joseph r. Keefe in apprecia-
ton for their cooperation in
every respect.
The enormous task of handling
the huge volume of mail was done
efficiently without extra en-
ployees this year. 1t never would
have been possible without the
splendid help of the public who
were unusually thoughtful this
year in doing their Christmas
mailing early. We are grateful to
them and congratulate Them" he
said.
Mail Sets Record
An all time high in mail was
handled by the force. Monday,
he heaviest day, approximately
1900 cards and letters went
through the mailing machine and
that night so sacks of mail went
out.
Last year there was approx
mately the same number of cards
and letters, but only rs sacks of
mail. The indication is that a
great many more packages were
sent by Redwood Falls residents
this season.
Seventy-five sacks of mail left
the city postoffice Tuesday night
and postmaster Keefe says that
1920 pieces of first class mail
have been handled here since De-
cember Is. The incoming mail
hit its peak this morning when
80 sacks were unloaded at the
postoffice to be distributed to
Redwood Falls residents.
Holiday trade in general has
been all merchants could ask. Re-
naming open tonight as they have
all week for the convenience of
Christmas shoppers, business
places will close at 6 Christmas
eve with holiday stocks largely
depleted. One firm reports the
largest gross Saturday since its
establishments here, another notes
December as a record month over
several year period and practi-
cally all are closing their books on
the best year in some time.

wINDSORS MAY COMR TO U. s. NEXT YEAR

PARIS-The Duke of Windsor is contemplating a tour of Russia to balance the recent tour in Germany. A person close to the Duke said the purpose of the tour is to show the rest of the world he plays no poll tics. For the moment, however, his plans are up in the air by the abrupt postponement of the American trip.
 Members of the Duke of Windsor's suite disclosed that the Royal party is studying the possibility of making the postponed tour to the United States early next year. It is declared that the tour is not definitely cancel led and Edward is still hopeful that public opinion in America will change within a few months, thus opening the way for a trip which was to have started today but post poned on account of grave miseon- captions of his motives"
 Several members of the Dukes en- tourage said the Duke of Windsor felt a '1ukewarm attitude" toward the proposed American tour ard one reason, one close adviser said, was the Hack of enthusiasm on the part of Washington officials, coupled with American labor criticism"
 It is said here that when Wash in~- ton officials were asked to suggest an itinerary whereby the Duke might he brought in close touch with hous- Ing methods and labor situations, only perfunctory letter was receiv- ed.

SECOND JAPANESE ARMY SENT TO THE FRONTIER

SHANGHAI - Ths capture of Shanghai and important gains in North China brought the Japanese forces steadily nearer to her military objectives in China but along with the Japanese successes came increas- ed tension on the -Siber- ian border and neutral observers shared the almost unanimous belief hc.t relations bewteen Russia and Japan are nearing fracture.
 Today one cf JapaRs most power eul armies dep,oyed along the Soviet frontier and there was a rumble of war machinery toward the border.
 The strained diplomatic sitLa- grew put oi the recent strengthening of the German-Japanese anti-com- nUn.sm pact with the entrance of Italy, a signer this week. Coupled with this international aspect is re- nswed friction over fishing conces- sion of the Siberia coast which Ja- pan wants extended.
 The diplomatic world pondered the potentialities of the new Italian-Ger- man-Japznsse anti-Bolshevism pact and the question was precipitated whether Russia, regarding the pact as mot friendly" might also break of relations with Rome.
 Observers admitted the world is as el-se to war as 1t was prior 10 the assassination Of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand at Sarajeyo, Serbia, in 1914

R~efinanCing Plan
Benefits Listed

For the information Of residents.
who win be called upon March 9
to decide whether Seattle shall
modernize the Street Railway and
refinance the Indebtedness, The
Northwest Enterprise has obtained
for its readers a summary Of the
advantages to be gained by adopt
ion of the program.
The City Council has approved
the proposal unanimously. one of
the rare occasions when all the
councilmen were IA agreement
Other officials at the City aan
likewise declare the improvement
is vital TO the welfare Of Seattle.
Among points that have beer
stressed are the following:
Traffic congestion in downtown
streets will be relieved. Other
cities have found that use of a
system such as Seattle proposes Is
equivalent to widening the streets
rs per cent.
The average street a rider will
be able to get down town from
home in 20 to rs percent less time
than It takes him now.
Noise made by the present worm
out street cars and bumpy rails
will be eliminated.
Real estate values will be in
creased throughout the city.
The security of a fixed route of
transportation will be preserved
by the fact that trolley coaches
operate from wires.
Lower operating costs and in
creased revenue due to greater
patronage will enable the Street
Railway to pull itself out of debt.
There is no drain on the City's
general fund. The taxpayers are
not being asked to put a cent into
the modernization.
Street a operators, who have
been receiving warrants for a long
time, would be paid in cash.
Danger of receivership for the
Street Railway would be avoided.
Seattle street cars and tracks
are in need of extensive repairs
and the city has no money to pay
for them.
Partial rehabilitation g impos-
sible for the same reason, the city
cannot pay for any improvements
unless the refinancing program is
approved by the voters.
Total increase in the Street Rail-
way indebtedness win be only
! S2.464, 10000 for which we get a
system that is up to the minute
and one that provides quiet, speedy
transportation with comfort.
The discount we are able to OBJ
tain by paying off old debts, to-
gether with tile saving in interest,
win almost pay for the entire new
system.
