NATURE WEAVES
BLANKET WITH
ROOTS OF TREE

A strange formation of hair
like roots of a cottonwood tree,
twisted and matted together in a
nine by seven foot fan-shaped
blanket, was brought to Redwood
Falls Tuesday by James Whittet
who removed it from the brick
lined cistern at his farm mile
west of the city that morning.
1t is displayed on wall of the
Citizens State bank entry room.
The mass of tiny roots, about
an inch thick and resembling a
Numbdah rug, grew out of a small
circle of bigger roots, about fing-
er size, which entered the cistern
through a space between the
bricks near the top. There was
no sign of it last spring when MIR.
Whittet cleaned the cistern.
The growth came from a cot
tonwood 80 feet away from the
cistern. 1t was planted when Mr..
Whittet's parents came here 68
years ago. There are only few
left in what was once big grove.

Of Ships Heavy
CONFLICTING CLAIMS

BIZ The Associated. Press

By The Associated Press
Premier Paul Reynaud OF
France today declared the
great naval battle raging off
the Norwegian coast had cost
Germany 1S warships, four
of them cruisers and 10 troop
transports while the allies
lost only four warships.
The French premier's state
ment was made in parlia-
ment while in the British
House of Commons, Winston
Churchill, first lord of the
admiralty, was drawing a
less complete picture Of the fight
ing but admitted the loss OF two
more British destroyers.
The official German news ag-
ency announced, however, that
two more British destroyers had
been sunk at Narvik, bringing to
six the British losses in that re-
gion, i
The recapture Of Bergen was
reported in a radio message to
Stockholm from the Norwegian
commander IN that section.
Norway, blowing up bridges
and arming civilians, struck back
at her German invaders, report
ing success east of Narvik and in
the Hamar district north of Oslo.
The Norwegian government or
dered its forces to cooperate with
the allies and told Germany of
her intention to resist the invas-
ion.
Reynaud said the four Ger
man cruisers represented one
tenth of Germany's naval fight
ing strength.
The destroyers, Glowworm and
Gurkha, were listed by Churchill
as the newest British losses in adj
dition to the two destroyers which
were lost at Narvik.
Meanwhile French military au-
thorities circulated warning to
the French to be prepared for
possible heavy fighting on the
previously quiet western front.
The heaviest naval fighting was
reported continuing today in Mar
row Elbow where the Skagerrak
Joins the Kattegat in an apparent
British attempt to cut off REIN
forcements for the German army
of occupation.

In Two Cases
KRAUSE-JORGENSON
COMPLETED; GOOD
LAWSUIT SECOND

The suit of Emil Krause against
Morris Jorgenson, Morgan police
man, for $4,000 damages for al
eged malicious filing of Grim
NAL complaint" went to Red
wood county jury this afternoon.
7 Testimony was completed short
ly after 1880 a. m, with only fin
al arguments by attorneys and
Judge Albert Enersen's charge to
the jury to be heard before the
nine men and three women retir-
ed for elaboration.
! 1t was the first jury case of the
court term which opened We'd
nesday morning. The second case,
that of Mrs. Emma L. Good
against J. Norman Peterson, state
liquor commissioner, Henry Nor
din, deputy commissioner and
others, was expected to open this
afternoon.
Mrs. Good is asking $4,000
damages, according to her attor-
ney, A. R. English of Tracy,
claiming false arrest.
The Krause suit grew out of
the 30-year-old Morgan township
residents arrest by Officer Jor-
censor March Is, 1889. In the
fall term of court last year,
Krause sued Jorgenson for false
arrest and was awarded $50 dam
ages on a point of law.
May IL, 1889 Jorgenson filed a
second degree assault charge
against Krause.
This charge was made on the
basis of a fight which took place
between the two principals on
highway SO at Morgan when Jor-
genson arrested Krause in March.
After that arrest, Krause serv-
ed 60 days in the Morgan Jail,
a disorderly conduct sentence CIV
en- him the previous December
and suspended on condition that
he keep out of Morgan for one
year.
When Krause was brought be-
fore Judge N. R. Ryerson in Red
wood Falls on the assault count
last May 16, Judge Ryerson dis
missed the case.

by z. L. Begin, his attorney, is

DAYTIME AND DOUBLE
PARKING RULES
TO BE ENFORCED

Redwood Falls four hour night
parking ruling was repealed at a
special meeting of the city coun-
Gil Friday night.
From 6 p. m. until a. m.
every day, parking for unlimited
periods will be permitted but the
two-hour parking law from 6 a.
m. to 6 p. m. remains in effect.
This means that persons parking
cars on downtown streets all
night must move them by a. m.
Just "a hours after the ban was
lifted, Redwood Falls residents
took advantage of it to park
downtown in congested Saturday
night traffic, officials said.
eff the local Saturday night
parking continues in the
downtown district, we will
have to place some restriction
on it for that evening"" they
warned.
City police have been instruct
ed to enforce the two hour limit
and to give arrest tickets for vio-
lation of the ordinance which for
bids double-parking except in
cases where an operator is in the
car. Then five-minute double
parking is permitted.
The council took the four-hour
clause off the books because it
was the wish of Redwood Falls
merchants as expressed through
Civic and Commerce association
directors, they said.
Street cleaning and snow re-
moval date notices will be put in
the newspapers and persons park
ing downtown are expected to ex-
tend their cooperation for those
activities.
eff your car is parked and lock-
ed when the streets are being
cleaned and that space is left dir
ty, please be reasonable and don't
blame the city administration" a
council representative said.
Tarvia will be used to blacktop
portions of Minnesota, Fifth,
Drew, East, Flynn, Chestnut and
Fourth streets this spring, the
council decided when it awarded
contract for 11,710 ssuare
yards of surfacing to Zeman and

Lutherans Weigh
ParOchial Grade
School Project

The question of establishing a
parochial school for the first eight
grades was taken up at the quart
erly meeting of st. Johns Luth-

the project is premature as facil-

the issue is not a dead one.
Since the school will not be
established Immediately, the
church decided to continue the
summer school which opens in
June for four weeks.
