NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Henry
Armstrong has been paid some nice
compliments in the course of his
mad career, but the bookmakers and
the betting public have handed him
the greatest banzei yet by installing
him a firm 2-to-3 favorite over
Ceferino Garcia In their 15-round
welterweight title bout tonight in
the Garden.
The thousands of words written
and said about Garcias murderous
punches have done nothing to shake
the public's confidence in the little
Negro wonder. The fact that the
husky Filipino will outweigh Henry
by a dozen pounds when they enter
the ring is worth only bored so
what?" from Henry's loyal rooters.
Few fighters ever have gained such
a hold on the customers. Promoter
Mike Jacobs says indications are that
the big hall will be packed, with
close to $115.000 in the till. Only
four reserved tickets were turned
back when the bout was postponed
from its original date, November 2.
Tough Test for Henry.
Though Garcia has a record nearly
as striking as Armstrong; over the
last two years, and has been betting
out welterweights and middleweights
while Henry was rolling up 80 con-
secutive victories over the little fell
lows, Armstrong is the drawing card
tonight.
Some 10000 hearts will hit a

COUNTY COMMITTEE TO
CONSIDER APPEALS
FOR ADJUSTMENTS

Redwood county's AAA office
received TAI applications for pay
ments from co-operators in the
1887 soil conservation program
Wednesday afternoon.
Clerks are busy checking them
and as soon as they are in shape,
notices of township meetings for
signature of applications will be
mailed to interested parties.
Checks for payment, amount
ing to thousands of dollars, will
not be given out for a few weeks
after the papers are signed and
returned to the state office.
It has come to the attention OF
the county office that farmers
have been informed that four
acres of summer fallow would
constitute one unit of soil build
ing practice. This is in error, as
here is no provision under the
terms of the 1888 agricultural
conservation program whereby
summer-fallow can be classified
as one of the soil building prac-
tees. This does not however, at
feet the classification of summer
fallow as being included with the
non-depleting acreage. The coun-
ty office has a supply of leaflets
which list the soil-building prac-
tees which are eligible for earn
ing payments. Any interested
person may secure one by writing
or calling at the office.
The Redwood county committee
has begun the task of considering
appeals for adjustment of soil
depicting allotments under the
1888 program. Appeals must be
filed with the county committee
within Is days after notices of
allotments have been forwarded
to or have been made available
to the appellant. No appeal can
be considered unless it is made in
writing and is signed by the per-
son making the appeal or his au-
thorized agent.

North Redwood PostoJjfiice
Moved 10 Times Since 1885

North Redwood = ''The post
office has been moved every time
politics changed" old-residents
of North Redwood recalled Fri
day when the tenth change in the
location of the postoffice was
made.
The latest move was from the
w. j. Simondet building into the
former bank building. Mrs. Anna
Lechner is present postmistress,
having been appointed in 1886.
Old records show that the first
postoffice was in the depot where
Richard Sears, founder of Sears
Roebuck ard company, handed
out the mail in 1885.
In 1886, E. N. Swan, who own
ed and operated a general store in
the building now occupied by B..
II. Kuenzli, became postmaster.
He was assisted by H. w. Shoe
maker until June 18, 1894.
Then E. H. Gosper began his
term, moving the postoffice into
his grocery store, a building now
used as a residence by Mrs. Otto
Smith.
When M. w. Knox became
postmaster in 1896, he moved the
office again, this time into the
Kuenzli building. He, too, was a
grocer.
August A. Lindeman moved
postal equipment to a hardware
store when he began his duties in
1898 but F. F. Hammer returned
it to the Kuenzli building in 1899
when ne received the appoint
ment. In the meantime he had
purchased the grocery store from
Knox.
From 1902, for Is years, the
postoffice location was permanent
for cha-ge as H. w. Shoemaker
received the postmastership
shortly after the turn of the CEN
tury and had the office in the
building later known as the O. w.
.Simondet store.
When he sold the store to
Frank Schumacher, duties of act
ing postmaster went with the
transfer.
But postoffice- moving activit-
les had got irto the blood of
North Redwood postmasters and
it popped up again when w. j.
Simondet received the regular
appointment. He moved the office
into the hardware store which he
operated at that time.
U. H. Lipp became postmaster
and broke the tradition in main
tanning the office in the hardware
store.
In 1881 w. M. Sommers was
appointed postmaster and for a
short time the office was located
in the Currier building where Ed
Spiering is now located. The
Simondet hardware store was re-
modelled and Sommers moved the
postoffice back there.
The same place was occupied
until the move Friday.
