Kurschner Changes
Interior Of Store

To facilitate elf-service, the in
terror of Kurschner's Red and
White store has been completely
remodeled and rearranged with a
long center display unit surround
ed by shelving. The place appears
wider than before. A new fruit
rack has been made and the veg
etable display has been built into
the wall.
Self-service shelves, easily ac-
cessible to customers, replace the
old type. Bottom shelves are
slanted for convenience and the
small wall space underneath them
have been painted "kick-proof"
black.
There are new built-in cookie
racks and refrigerator units and
a special built-in platform at the
back of the store for flour and
sugar sacks.
The center counter arrange
ment includes an attractive new
bread rack, a new rack for cello
phane-packaged products, the
meat counter and a new coffee
display. Also in the center ar
rangement are the tobacco dis
play shelves, inside counter but
visible from both sides, a new
idea in merchandising.
Small green palms are arrang-
ed on the top shelving around the
store, setting off the white back
ground. There is a little picket
fence on the top shelving separ-
ating the partition between the
store proper and the office and
receiving room at the rear.
Kurschner's will hold a combin-
ed remodeling and third anniver-
sary sale in March.

Ira Reynolds Has
Eightieth Birthday

A charming little letter which
might be titled Thoughts On
Things At Eighty, was received
this week by the Gazette from
Ira Reynolds who celebrated his
entrance into the octogenarian
class Monday. ...-
Il am 80 years old today, the
letter reads, eff the record in the
old family Bible is right. I take
it for granted it is right. AS I
think NOW, my mother always
was right.
''It was February II, 1858. I
can't tell you the hour I started
upon this earth. But I was there
just the same.
81 suppose about the first strug-
gle I had was to get something to
eat. .....
81 have had to struggle for the
same end up to the present time.

quite young, so I did not know
from experience with him much
about him
''ThiS was rot the horse and bug
gy days, by the way. 1t was oxen
and horse and wagon days. I
doubt if there was buggy in the
township at that time.

married in Rock Island county,

can figure we have lived together
So years. AS you may know, Mrs.
Reynolds is not well at this time.
eve came to Minnesota in 1910
and have lived in Redwood Falls
all of these years.
eve have liked the state and
the city we have lived in. We had
at one time in this state fairly
good government, but for the last
few years we have talked of leav-
ing the state. But with the way
our government has been doing
things of late we concluded we
were sunk anyway. so we had
just as well stay where we are.
Good luck and good weather is
what we need.

ADVISED NOT TO
POSTPONE ACTION
ON WPA GRANTS
Sixteen Applications Received
From Maryland Now Esti-
mated To Cost $4,9O9,559

With men at work on at least two
new PWA projects and hundreds more
ready to get under construction in the
next few days, Colonel M. E. Gilmore
announced that PWA Region No. 1,
including the eleven states from Mary
land to Maine, has met the PWA re-
quest for speed by filing applications
for over 622 new projects under the
new 1888 PWA Recovery Program
signed by the President twenty-five
days ago.
For these new projects ranging in
size from New York's $70,850,000 Bat
tery-Hamilton Avenue Tunnel down
to $4,000, road projects for Northern
Maine, the States, Counties and local
communities have requested in excess
of $237,093,965, in outright Federal
grants to aid them in starting con-
struction on much needed public i'm
provements such as schools, hospitals
sewerage and water works, bridges
and other type heavy construction.
With applications rolling in at the
rate Of better than 40 day at the
present time, Colonel Gilmore warned
communities who hoped to participate
in the program, that although there
are SO days Ito September 80, 1881
before PWA must by law cease re.
ceiving applications, that the amount
of money available will be exhausted
long before that time.
Therefore, Colonel Gilmore statet
"any community officials who are in
terested in participating in this Fed
eral Program and receiving a 45 pei
cent outright PWA Grant must act
and act Immediately, if they hope te
secure this aid for their communities.
Applications received from Mary
land to date numbered 16, the tota
cost of which amounts to $4,000, $50
the total grand being $2,2O9,3O1.

HENRY CONOWAY IS
ATTACKED BY NEGRO
Continued from page l

Conoway's injuries can be learned.
It was unfortunate that, at the time
of the attack not county officer was
available. A call for police was sent
in to this city, and then radio call
for state police. Chief Arthur Brit
tingham, Of the city police, could not
go to the rescue since, by recent ac-
tion of Sheriff West, Brittingham has
been divested of his authority as de-
putty sheriff, and his jurisdiction con-
fined to the city limits.
This brings up a question Of the
advisability of the sheriff's action.
Situations like the Conoway's might
arise, at any time, and the city police
are in a position to handle them more
expeditiously, since other county Of
ficers are frequently called for duty
to points never served by the city Of
ficers. With deputy-sheriff power,
the city force could protect the city
corporation and surrounding territory
within a small radius, better than
those whose duties are constantly call
ing them to more distant points.
Sheriff West, in his letter of dis
missal acknowledged Mr.. Britting-
ham to be an efficient officer and al
ways cooperating with the county
police in generous way. There was
no reason offered for the officers
demotion, and it remains somewhat
of a mystery. It looks as if police
protection in these parts has not been
strengthened by the action.

DCMURRERS ARE
OVER-RULED BY
CIRCUIT COURT
Ray V. Gladding And Bernard
F. Moore Win Contest
Election Case

The Circuit Court for Worcester
County. on Monday last, over-ruled
demurrers in both the recent Munich
pal election cases, Pocomoke City, thus
recurring Mayor E. w. Ross and
Councilman w. H. Dryden to answer
suit filed against them by Ray v
Gladding and B. F. Moore. Said ans
wer must be filed within Is days from
July 18, 1888.
After the municipal election, held
April 5, 1888, Gladding and Moore
brought suit against Mayor Ross and
Councilman Dryden, requesting their
removal from office.
In the case of Mayor Ross, Glad
ding's suit is a petition to the court
to set aside his election and a
new election be held next spring-the
suit is based upon Gladding's allega-
ton that more than 1856 unqualified
voters voted in the election. Ross
majority in the election being 1876
votes.
In the case of Councilman Dryden,
the same charge is brought except
that the number of unqualified votes
is specified as being more than 275,
Dryden's majority over Moore. Also,
Moore attacks Dryden's property
qualifications and says that, regard
less of the election, Moore was the
only qualified candidate and therefore
should be declared elected.
Ross and Dryden filed demurrers,
taking exception to the courts order,
and these demurrers were argued be-
fore full bench on May 31st.
Ray V. Gladding and B. F. Moore
have now brought proceedings against
Councilman Dryden asking for writ
of mandamus removing Dryden from
office and declaring Moore seated
This mandamus case comes up fol
trial at the October term of court.
Some lengthy litigation is in pros.
pect in connection with this case, as
it will not stop short Of the Appel
late Court, and it may be that another
election date may roll around before
the convention is adjudged and set.

Well, Sir, there is an old adage says
Honesty is the best policy" Guess
that's all right, but if some peoples
foresight was good as their hind
sight, I don't know whether they
would be so honest. Fr'instance, l
backed out of my garage one day last
week and bumped into. car on the
other side of the street, bending the
fender to wee extent.
Well, a great wave of honesty surg
ed over me, so I got piece of paper,
wrote on it that I was the guilty man,
said would pay for rolling the dent
out, and stuck the note on the switch
key. Next day, I found bill on my
desk for $40 for repairing tire.
Also, great wave of doubt surged
over me as to the policy of being hon
est too quick. And, also, I wondered
whether if I has known the price of
honesty, I would have paid it. But,
honest, or dishonest, thought things
had turned out just too bad, so went
to see the owner of that dented fen
der. I was prepared to put up an ar
gument, I'm here to tell you.
The upshot of the whole thing was
that the bill was "kidder"; I was the
victim of practical joke and I didn't
have to pay for my honesty. So, af-
ter all honesty is a fairly good thing
to tie to, so all you fellows fess up
to your missus when you've been out
with the boys.
