MADE TO
FEED PHEASANTS
BIRDS FAIRLY WELL
CARED FOR, QUIST
SAYS AFTER TRIP

Several farmers in the COM
munity have reported that pleas
ants are suffering food shortage
since recent SHOWS which blank
eted fields about a foot deep.
Grant Adsit of near Belview
says that pheasants are coming
into his barnyard to feed, being
unable to procure food in the
fields.
Game Warden w. H. Quist
agrees that some birds are appar-
emily in need of food. On a trip
Tuesday through Wabasso, Lucan,
Sanborn and Walnut Grove he
saw more pheasants on the roads
than ever before this winter.
''The pheasants in this county
are fairly well cared for, how
ever" he says, reporting that 20
feed hoppers have been put out
by the Redwood County Game
protective league. Morgan sports
men are paying farmers for grain
used in feeding the birds and Luz
can residents are paying for feed
and distributing grain.
Farmers seeing fiocks which ap-
parently need feed are asked to
contact Mr.. Quist.

sorting the mail. Seeing what he
thought was steam issing from
the roof, he kicked open a rear
door, to have a swirl of heat,
smoke and fire roll out.
The fire department was called,
remaining at the scene for hours.
Hundreds of pounds. of meat
which Mr.: Eldred was smoking
for farmers was destroyed in the
fire.

SHARE COST UNDER
PROPOSED PLAN

A motion recommending the
employment of a summer play
ground supervisor at Memorial
field was passed at the annual
meeting of the board o. directors
of the Redwood Falls Recreational
association in Lauterbach's Friday
noon. The board suggested that
the school district and city each
pay half of the supervisors sal
airy.
Reede Gray, secretary of the
organization, indicated that the
school board is apparently willing

and would employ someone well
qualified for the work.

reelected. J. L. Parsons is presi-
dent, Rev. Godfrey O'Sullivan,
vice-president, L. R. Ewart, trea-
surer and MIR. Gray, secretary.
Other members are DR.. J. Gordon

Richard Cook.
The group discussed the Men,
orial Field stadium project now
underway. At present 20 men are
employed, excavations for foot
ings are practically complete and
concrete work will be started
soon. Within a week about 40
men will be employed and part of
these will be put to work tearing
up the foundations of the old
Light and Power plant for rock
to be used in the stadium. The
material will supplement store
from the old high school building.
Approval of R. F. Byram as fore
man of the stadium project was

pensation checks to be received in
the Redwood Falls community
arrived late last week. J. W..

ten, Redwood Falls attorney, to-
day was prominently mentioned
about the capital as a successor
to William H. Lamson whose re-
signation as secretary of three
state boards is reported to have
been requested.
Lamson, secretary of the state
board of investments since the
year 1917 and to the executive
council and the pardon board
since 1925, is the last major Re
publican appointee holding office
in the Farmer-Labor administra-
ton.
Morten is prominent Farmer
Laborite in Redwood Falls who
in the past four years has repre-
scented the state banking depart
ment as attorney in several cases
in that section and for a time
served under Governor Benson
when the latter was state bank
ing commissioner. Morten is a
personal friend of c. A. Halver-
son, state treasurer, and member
of the executive council.
Governor Benson and attorney
general William Erwin who with
Halverson comprise the liberal
council majority We're non-com-
initial when approached on the

Hot off the wires!

Hot Oft the wires!
Thes Gazette brings today to
Redwood Falls a lew civic asset
and new prestige.
With this issue The Gazette be-
gins publication of the news dis
patches of The Associated Press,
and thereby takes its place among
the leading newspapers - large
and small - of the nation which
make up the membership of this
great, cooperative newsgathering
orgaL iZation.
Linked with the gigantic 285,-
000-mile network of The Associa-
ted Press, The Gazette receives in
its own offices, by telephone SER
vice from APPS Minneapolis bur-
eau, a running account of world
events as they are happening.
This paper is now one of the
owners of the association which
provides its state, domestic and
foreign dispatches. This and 1,400
other member newspapers control
The Associated Press and operate
it, not for profit, but for the bene-
fit of their readers, who have a
right to an impartial account of
what is happening in the world.
The Associated Press cannot be
influenced by political or other
consideration; it cannot transmit
one-sided or inaccurate news dis
patches. It must stick to its job of
factual reporting. Its news is not
for sale to commercial interests,
government offices, or to any one,
and it is the only press association
in the world serving newspapers
exclusively. The tremendous cost
of gathering and distributing the
news of the world, which runs to
millions of dollars yearly, is
borne by the members on a pro
rata basis.
In the United States and Can
ada, $500 reporters ard editors
are on the job day and night,
alert for any newsworthy happen
ing. There are 90 bureaus in the
United States, strategically locat-
ed to expedite the news.
The Associated Press also main
tains bureaus and correspondents
in 252 principal cities abroad, as
surfing the readers of The Gazette
of foreign news gathered factually
and effectively for the consump-
ton of American readers.
Besides the large staff of ex-
perienced Associated Press per-
sonnet, The Gazette is further
protected in its news coverage by
the fact that every one of the
member papers of the organiza-
ton must make its own news
available for the use of other
members.
Thus, the daily work of thou
sands of trained reporters and
editors of The Associated Press
staff is supplemented by veri-
table army of expert news gather
ers throughout the nation.
The Gazette is proud to identity
itself with The Associated Press,
and to become a part of it. It is a
step which means greater service
to its readers than has been poss-
ible in the past.

Hit Snags in Hunt
For Station Bandit
SANBORN MAN FAILS
TO IDENTIFY PIC
TURES OF THUGS

Searchers for a gunman who
robbed the Sanborn station oper-
Sator Of an express shipment of
$4,000 in currency and about SIS
in silver early Saturday morning
struck two snags this week.
Chester w. Schultz, telegraph
operator at the depot for 20 years,
was unable to identify any pic
lures of criminals shown him by
express company detectives in
Minneapolis Monday as those of
an armed assailant who forced
him to open the station safe con-
tanning the money and then slug
ged him with his fist.
Sheriff L. j. Kise found that
no serial numbers had been re-
corded on the shipment, all in
used dollar bills, which was en-
route from the First National
Bank and Trust company in Min
neapolis to the Wanda State bank.
The bills were for use by the
Wanda creamery.
Reported Theft
Schultz called Sheriff Kise
shortly after 8 a. m. to report the
theft, stating he watched the rob-
Der leave the station, then heard
car start and saw it head north
on highway II. Kise Immediately
called the Sanborn police, asking
them to search the highway and
the Clements road, authorized a
broadcast over KIND and left for
the scene, accompanied by Deputy
Harry Beatty.
The Sanborn marshal could
find no trace of the car.
s About 10 minutes after the last
train left the station, the operator
said, there was a knock at the
door of the office in which he was
on duty alone. He opened the
door and a man entered.
Holding a Iickle plated gun in
his left hand, the bandit ordered
Schultz to open the cash drawer
in which there was about S1.25
in silver and some pennies.
Not satisfied he demanded that
the operator open the safe.
Schultz did and handed him a
tin box containing the days re-
ceipts of about SIS.
Bring out the rest" the thug
ordered.
Money in Bag
Schultz handed him the canvas
bag, marked $1,000 on the out
side but containing twice that
amount.
Hitting him on the face with
his hand, the man left the depot.
Schultz ran to the south win
dow and watched him cross the
tracks, then heard a ear start and
saw it moving north on the high
way. 1t is believed that an ac-
complete was waiting in the ma
chine. .3
Sheriff Kisses investigation was
interrupted by a business trip to
the Twin Cities Wednesday, but
he is working on several angles.
Schultz described his assilant
as about 80 years of age, five feet,
ten inches tall. between 100 and
100 pounds in weight, with a dark
complexion. He wore a greyish
tweed overcoat, black hat and
old rubbers.
