Basketball tournament season

this year compared with last, one
tournament taking the place of

The district tournament was
awarded to New Ulm for 1910, TO

This year it goes to the eleventh,
to be held at either Montevideo 0

October Bids
On Postoffice
Still Possible
HOPES ROLSTERED BY
PURDUM ASSURANCE,
LEGAL OPINION

An indication that bids for the
construction of Redwood Falls
new postoffice will be called by
%he end CT October was included
in letter from Smith w. Pur-
dunn, fourth assistant postmaster
general, to Mayor j. c. Budik this
week.
"The construction of this build:
ing is under the Jurisdiction of
the Federal Works agency. l
have contacted that agency and
am informally advised that pro-
Vided title to the property select
ed as the site on which, to erect
the building is vested with the
government, it is expected that
bids fer the construction of your
new postoffice will go on the
market by the end of October" :"
Purdum said in answer to the
mayors inquiry as to the status
of the building.
Condemnation of the C.. F.
Neuschwander property for par.
of the site is regarded by some
authorities as having secured title
with the government. They say
that construction can go forward
now and that the only question
before federal jury at Mankato
on Neuschwander's appeal from
an appraisers award of $2,75O for
his house and lot is whether the
amount is sufficient.

Halifax Laments
Failure To Aid
Desperate Poles

London-P)- Foreign secretary
Lord Halifax today declared "we
must not undertake anything that
does not directly contribute to
victory" in the European war in
commenting on failure of Poland
to get help.
'One of the major tragedies of
the last few weeks was that we
should have had to watch the re-
sistance of a gallant nation over
born without ourselves being able
to render such direct assistance as
might have produced different
results.
'sBut we must not lose sight of
our main objective in this war
victory-and we must not under
take anything that does not dir
ectly contribute to that victory or
which might mitigate against it."

It's To Keep Sun Out of
Their Eyes>>That Extra Bulb

Why is there a red light bulb
and white light bulb where only q
red light bulb served to call Red
wood Falls police before?
Widespread conjecture on the
question was halted Wednesday
with a simple explanation by c.
L. Maurstad, one of the two day
officers.
Here's how it is:
Until last week, red lights, one
at the corner of the Granite block,
and one on the cornice of the
Duea building, informed the po-
lice that someone wanted them
When the telephoneo operator re-
ceived a copper call, she snapped
on the glims, the officer saw, and
called her for information.
But if the policeman was, say,
in front of Forster's store in thA
Late afternoon and looked to his
Granite block light, the western
sun shining through the red bulb
lit it up like Christmas tree. So
he'd telephone the operator, and
there wouldn't be a call there
The additional white bulb, Sc,
with the red in double socket
now enables him to make darn
sure the lights on.
At the Duea building, a little
out of the night activity area, the
white light doesn't do much good
in the day time, but it makes a
heap of difference in the dark.

Wallace Sees No Need
For Corn Quota Vote

Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace has determined that
in view of supplies on hand, there
will be no necessity for a market
ing quota referendum on corn
this year, George Claussen, chair
man of the Redwood county agri-
cultural conservation committee,
points out.
The supply of billion, 993 mil
lion bushels is considerably below
the marketing quota level of 3
billion, 80 million bushels, Mr..
Claussen said. This marketing
quota level was arrived at through
! application of the consumer safe
guard clause in the AAA act, with
the 10-year average consumption
adjusted to provide balance in
consumption equal to the 1920
1929 period, because of the Euro
pean situation and prospects OF
improved industrial conditions.
No downward adjustments were
made for changes in domestic con-
sumption and in exports of meat
and livestock products, Mr.. Claus
sen reported.

Early Appeal
By Red Cross
Anticipated
REQUESTS FROM BOTH
SIDES EXPECTED IF
WAR CONTINUES

Organization of the Redwood
County Red Cross in preparation
for war relief work got underway
Wednesday when c. R. Myers,
field man and Clifford James,
chapter chairman, toured the
community to promote active or
ganiZation of branches.
There is no call for service at
the moment, but if the European
war is prolonged there is little
question but what Red Cross VOL
unteers will be needed for pre-
paration of surgical dressings, re-
fugee and hospital garments, My
ers said.
''The people interviewed recog-
nize the need for Red Cross read
mess again." he said. 1--WE were
pleased with the reaction"
James is organizing the chapter
for a membership drive, to stress
representation from rural areas.
OF the 81 counties in Minnesota,
Redwood ranks lowest in per
capita membership in township
sections as there has been limit
ed solicitation in those districts.
The chairman'S plans call for
workers throughout the county to
solicit memberships and others to
engage in projects required by the
national office.
Appeals to the American Red
Cross, a completely neutral organ
ization, will undoubtedly be made
from belligerentS on both sides of
the war. If county residents wish
to contribute to German relief.
for instance, their donations will
be handled through the German
Red Cross, Myers pointed out.
