a wire from Joel. He wants me
to come home"
swell, that's no reason for you
to look so worried. Now, if he
didn't want you to come home
that'd be different" Martha said
reasonably.
If Martha had hoped that he1
matter would Danish
the cloud from Janet's brow, she
met with no success.
Martha, I'm a little worried.
He says in his telegram that I'm
not to believe any silly rumors'
What do you suppose that means ?"
Martha was up on her news
paper columns. She hesitated
only a moment. Then she said,
"Well now, dear, you ought to
know what Hollywood is by now.
You can't brush your teeth with
out some one of those writer's
thinking you're doing it because
YOU want to bedazzle someone of
the opposite sex. They pry into
everything and first thing you
know they've manufactured some
thing that isn't true"

patiently. But do you have any
idea wI1a .rumors these are?

He had said he'd been to the
boxing bouts with her. Lisa said
she had been surprised to see him

She acts as though she owns

Janet felt suddenly as though
she had been hit by very large,
very devastating cyclone. She sat
down on the side of Martha's bed.

From Canada to Cape Horn
PLANNED EXTENSION OF
ROUTE WOULD CROSS
SOUTH AMERICA

Redwood Falls has a place on
the map of the new 1929 mile
Great International American
Highway which extends from
Winnipeg, Canada to Mexico City,
Mexico. Highway II going
through the city forms a big link
in the great north-south roadway
which runs the full length of the
United States.
A considerable increase in mo-
tor traffic and tourist trade here
is expected this summer as the
highway comes into general use.
According to a newspaper ar
ticle sent the Gazette by A. R. A.
Laudon from San Antonio, Texas.
the American Highway associa-
ton which boosts the new road
hopes to see it extended through
Central and South America to
Cape Horn. The plan would give
the motoring public a highway
$500 miles in length. The repub-
lies along the route are all indica-
ting their intention of building the
necessary links, which will extend
the roadway the entire length of
the American continents.
Other Minnesota towns through
which the highway runs are
Crookston, Bemidji, Wadena, Long
Prairie, Willmar, Window and
Jackson. The route includes Kan
sas City, Oklahoma City, Fort
Worth, San Antonio and Loredo,
Texas and Monterey and Linares,

State Relief
Fund Spent,
County Told
LOAD DUMPED IN LAPS
OF COUNTY BOARD
MEMBERS

Whenever they get into a
pinch they dump the burden into
our laps, ne member of the
board Of Redwood county COM
missioners commented in regard
to notification received this week
from l.. P. Zimmerman, state re-
lief administrator, that the state
relief fund is depleted and county
relief expenditures from now on
will be made without any assur-
ance that the state will pay its
share.
If the state legislatures $4,000
600 deficiency bill does not pass,
the county will be forced to carry
the 1853 families on direct relief
here without state aid which has
amounted to nearly SO per cent
of the expense until now. 1t can
not be expected to pass before
March 1, Zimmerman said in his
letter.
''The state has more resources
than the county" the commission
er said. "How can we be expected
to carry the entire burden with
our limited funds?"
No apprehension, however, was
expressed that the bill will not
pass, although appropriations for
relief may be cut somewhat. Au-
thorities here have not given the
matter full consideration and are
waiting for legislative action be-
fore committing themselves to any
new relief plans should the bill
fail.
Old age assistance recipients
will not be affected by the delay
as they are not furnished through
the same channels. The federal
government contributes one-half.
the state one-third and the county
one-sixth of funds paid to old age
assistance clients.

CONDITION OF PRESENT
BUILDING DESCRIBED
IN RESOLUTION

The inadequacy of the present
Redwood Falls postoffice and the
grounds upon which the city mer-
its new federal building are set
forth in elaborate detail in the
final draft of the city councils pc
tition to Minnesota's United States
senators and the seventh district
congressman.
The resolution dwells particu-
larly on the "deplorable state of
repair" of the present postoffce
building, mentioning particularly
(a1. Upheaved dirt floor of
basement prevents use of that
space for storage of any sort. No
provision has been made for an
inside basement stairway.
(b). Inadequate support of CEN
ter beams 8'x8" has resulted in a
sagging of floor joist. Several
posts are resting on dirt as foot
ing and one post hangs from the
beam. Brick chimney is badly in
need of pointing. Lower portion
of this chimney has fallen away
and is improvised without the use
of mortar.
(c). Floor joists are not fire cut.
Joist ends are rotting in the mas
onry wall. Rough flooring around
bulkheads entirely rotted out,
permitting infiltration of air and
dust. Finish floor is badly STAIN
ed, cracked, patched, and warped,
exposing large cracks over entire
surface. The whole floor has sag
ged necessitating shimming of
fixtures placed thereon.
(d). The electrical wiring is not
installed in any kind Of conduit,
metal or otherwise. Bare live
wires were found in one place.
This condition renders the build
ing very liable to fire.
(e). Metal stack to chimney is
not asbestos covered exposing
joists above to high temperatures.
Boiler is only in fair condition.
Pipe hangers are being rotted out
of the joist. Rotted floors have
left several radiators supported
almost entirely by the metal riser

CRIME BUREAU,
RADIO STATION

The adjustment of the state
bureau of criminal apprehension
as suggested by Senator Rockne
of Zumbrota would be "good
news to the criminal" according
to Putnam M. Smith, supervisor
of KIND at Redwood Falls.
KIND and five proposed sta
tons would be included in the
adjustment if Senator Roclne is
successful in his project.

Minnesota will stand for it,"
Smith said. cit would be a great
step backward in the protection
of life and property of the citizens
of the state"
Asserting that the modern
criminal must be combatted with
modern methods, Smith stated
that the bureau is equipped to
give scientific aid to sheriff and
police officers throughout the state
Many sheriffs, operating under
old laws, are not empowered to
hire enough deputies to police
their counties thoroughly and the
bureau has provided them inyal-
liable assistance, Smith said.

Francois kids and Phil Cheney as
a little troublesome at times but
amenable to reason.

discussed memories with w. M.
