The Boys Club Cadets are out

Cadets In New Haven when in the

score 1t seemed that everything that
the Big Five threw went in. The
Big Five were paced by Collins Of
Red Devil fame and who accounted
for 10 points against the K. Of L.

Collins appeared in the st. Johns
lineup against the Poll team the
result would not be too satisfactory
for the Fitzpatrickmen.
Hot and Cold

fortunate on the road and their
losses are only overshadowed by
their fine performances at home.

AUGUST 25 DATE SET
BY PWA SUPERVISOR
FOR COMPLETION

The Redwood Falls High school
will be completed by its contract
time, August 25, if work continues
at its present speed, E. c. Dindorf,
PWA supervisor predicts.
At present the building is 60
per cent completed. Charlebois
brothers have finished the roofing,
the masonry and concrete work are
done, plastering is half finished
and the terrazo and tile work are
well underway.
Members of the board of educa-
ton feel that August Is is some
what optimistic prediction but
expect the building to be ready
for occupancy when school starts
in September or very soon after.
In preparation for the opening,
the board is advertising for bids
on equipment for the new build
ing.
An influx of new students is eX-
pected with the improvement of
school facilities which gives the
city thoroughly modern plant.
At least one family has moved
here largely because of the school
and it is the history of all new
schools in the state that enroll
ment from neighboring commune
ties is increased by such an i'm
prOVement.
Dedication plans are as yet ten
tative although the occasion will
be observed with customary for
malitieS.

Youth Burned

BOLTS STRIKE 2 HOMES
IN NEW ULM DURING
STORM FRIDAY

Sixteen-year-old LIE Roy Brue-
ske, nephew of John Brueske
of Redwood Falls, was marked,
probably for life by a lightning
bolt which struck his home in
New Ulm during the storm Fri
day. An almost perfect image of
a tree was burned on his breast
and upper abdomen.
The youth had gone to the cell
lar, shortly after IL a. m, to turn
the rain water into the cistern.
He was taken to the Union hospi-
tai where his condition was re-
ported as fair.
The bolt evidently struck the
chimney of the Brueske home, as
it was practically demolished.
Flue shoppers in the chimney were
blown out. Electric fuses were
put out of commission. No fire
enSued.
Another bolt struck the home
of Franz Bauer but no one was
hurt. Mr.. Bauer was standing
near a window, in the kitchen,
between the range and a table. A
large strip of plaster was torn
from the wall. Fragments, hurled
across the room, crashed through
the glass doors of the kitchen
cupboard. The kitchen wall was
badly bulged outward.

Amendments Made
To Soil Program

Martin N. Sandager, chairman
of the Redwood county agricul-
tural conservation committee has
just been informed by the state
committee that the following
amendments have been approved
for the 1887 program.
If a producer is short of having
enough old conserving crops on
his farm to fill his soil-conserving
base he may fill the balance of
the conserving base with sweet
sorghums or corn which must be
Sown so thick that only a fine
stalked forage is produced which
will be used to take the place of
hay or pasture which is short.
This does not affect the original
ruling which provided that if
there is sufficient acreage of old
conserving crops on the farm to
fill the soil-conserving base, such
old conserving crops will be used
first in filling the soil-conserving
base.
1t has also been ruled that land
sown to winter rye or winter
wheat in the fall of 1886, which
was pastured in the spring of 1887
and from which neither grain
nor hay has been harvested in
1887 may now be classified as
soil-conserving if the soil-con-
serving crop was seeded before
July l, or if the land was first
cultivated before July l in pre-
paration for making a seed bed
for soil-conserving crops, which
may then be seeded after July l.,
provided there is a good stand of
soil-conserving crops on such
land at time of final check of per-
formance.
