she could get change at the Raw
Cold window was to make the
clerk want to give it to her. What
would you have done under similar
circumstances? Here is what she
did and it worked. First, she said
the very thing the clerk was going
to say. Il know / am at the wrong

mitted she was in the wrong; and
We generally like people who arc
broad enough TO admit their mis-
takes.
Her second step was to smile sill
cercly. A smile says, II am glad
to see you" Well, if l feel you
are honestly glad to see me, shall
want to do something for you.
Third, she said very kindly, "If
it isn't too much trouble, I would
appreciate it so much if you would
please give me change for these
two shillings."
He smiled and gave her change
at the Raw Gold" window because
she had made him want to help
her.

River Failed Pioneer City
As Trade Avenue; Railroads,
Cars and Trucks Fill Needs

Later That summer regular pas
Senger service was inaugurated
with w. c. Tyler as first station
agent. He kept his office in
box car while the station was
being erected. The county had
issued bonds of $4,000 for the
construction of a line from New
Ulm to Redwood Falls.
Depot Destroyed
Hyronimus Thiering was tend
er of the round house. The de-
pot was a building 1O4 feet by
"a feet with a large platform
around the entire building. The
train crew remained in Red
wood Falls over night.
1880 had scarcely commenced
when Redwood Falls was illu-
mined by the flames of the
burning passenger depot. H. c..
Krake, telegraph operator and
Charles Everett were returning
home from party at Sewells
watching the old year out and
the new year in. They saw the
fire and gave the alarm. They
ran across lots and through
snow banks, but were too late
to be able to enter the room and
secure the books of the COM
Ipany. Charles F. Thomas who
was sleeping at the depot was
almost suffocated with smoke
when he reused himself. He

some of his clothes, ran out with

Express Messenger F. B. Newell
land a friend who was sleeping
with him in the baggage car
i had a narrow escape, as all the
car burned, with large amount
of freight and express at the de-
pot. All that the railroad COM
pany saved was $1,000 in cash
and some valuable papers that
were in the safe.
There was talk of the Pacific
division" of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis coming through from
Fairfax over the bluffs to Red
wood Falls and on west. The
railroad company asked the cit
liens of Redwood Falls to give
a bonus of $4,000 to help build
the road over the hills but many
felt the road would come any
way and the suggestion was not
taken-a factor which no doubt
handicapped the community for
many years until bus and track
traffic became general and was
in turn an unWiSe decision on
the part of the railroad. Con-
tinuing along the valley, the
line reached Morton in 1882
and crossed the county in 1884.
North Redwood developed as
a result of the decision and it
was there, while a railroad sta
ton agent, that Richard w.
Sears started the mail order
business which became famous
as Sears, Roebuck and company.
Lewis Lindeman, his first Gus
toner, still resides in Flora
township.
The North Redwood location
gave rise to what was once q
rushing business, that of trans
porting passengers, luggage and
mail-now only mail-between
Redwood Falls and the depot.
Charles Lamberton and later in
succession his sons John, Wilbur
and Walter, conducted the line
for 43 years.

FIRST CEMENT

ssMrs. Finn is the first to build
a cement sidewalk before her
residence property. Mrs. Finn
is having walk laid along the
entire front of her lots where
her handsome residence is To-
Gated. The move, so far as the
beautifying the city is concern
ed, is a good omen and the re-
suit will probably be that before
many years the entire resident
district now having board side
walks will be furnished with
cement walks. Redwood Re-

DESANTO ACCEPTS
 $l,500 FOR CLAIM
Agreement Closes Contest for Compensation for
 Loss of Vision

A stipulation agreement between Lawrence DeSanto, of Slade avenue, Oakville, and Seymour Smith and Son, Inc, of Oakville, whereby the claimant agrees to accept $500 in full and final settlement, was ap- proved today by Compensation Com missioner James M. Lynch.
 In another stipulation agreement approved today, Ovid Rochon, 370 Waterville street. agrees to settle his claim against the Waterbury Ash Removing Co.,, of Thomaston ave- nue, for $323.75.
 DeSanto claimed that he suffered loss of vision in his right eye as a result of an accident sustained while at work in the Oakville factory. How ever, he could not recall any defi- nite injury, though he did claim that foreign body entered his left eye May 18 of this year.
 DeSanto and the employing com pany disagreed to the cause of the loss of vision, and the settlement of $500 was agreed on.
 In the other claim, Rochon suf- fered severe injuries when struck by an automobile on Willow street June 29, while going for his employ CTS mail. He was struck by car operated by Wesley Orr. The insur- aace company which issued Orr's policy is paying the settlement sum, not the employer or its insurer.

societies of the church, which will sponsor the games tonight. Until September IS, Police Superintendent William J. Roach will issue only lic- enseS for single-day play.
 After September 15, licenses will be issued on an annual basis to or- ganizations seeking them, who qualify as sponsors under the provi- sions of the law. Sponsorship is lim- ited to charitable, religious civic and fraternal organizations, granges and volunteer firemen.
 A ruling on the question of when the games might legally be started was sought by Superintendent Roach. He was informed that single game permits could be issued until September Is. It had been claimed previously in some quarters that no permits at all could be issued until next month.
 Prizes in the competition are lim- tied to merchandise and the total value offered on any single day of play cannot exceed $250.

Adequate food, early correction of defects and immunization are sim pie, effective measures which should be provided for by parents in pre- pairing their children for healthy adulthood. Susan P. Souther, M. D, advised in the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health. Lack of proper foods in amounts sufficient to meet the body needs and diseases or physical dfeects are factors which are largely responsible for handicapping growth and de- velopment. pr. Souther said, es- pecially during the early years of life when changes are particularly rapid.
 Defects Noted
 Parents are becoming more con- scious of this responsibility and are making certain that their children arc prepared to meet the demands of adult life by being as highly de- veloped physically and mentally as possible. This is evident, Dr. South- CT explained, from comparative findings on large group of Well Child Conference and Summer Roundup children examined in Connecticut in 1933 and a similar group in 1888. Only 43 per cent of defects needing correction in 1883 were corrected or under treatment at the end of the year; in 1888, 75 per cent of those referred for treat ment and correction were taken care of. By providing this early health supervision, permanent injuries may be avoided. Suitable exercises and the early establishment of hygien!c habits will prevent or correct pos- tural defects from becoming de- formities which may act later as psychological as well as physical handicaps
 In order to protect infants and children from malnutrition and to prevent dietary diseases such as rickets and scurvy, Doctor Souther emphasized that proper foods for growth must be provided. Parents should know what these foods are and then make every effort to see that their children eat them in ade- quate amounts. It is also important Rochon has agreed to pay, from the

to teach infants to accept the foods that are offered without coaxing to insure proper eating habits.
 Doctor Souther urged parents to realize how important it is to keep their children under medical super vision. Reliable preventive measures are available to protect children against smallpox and diphtheria and the family physician will also see that diseases are treated early, de- fects corrected and that the child develops normally.
