TO ADVERTISE
REDWOOD CO.
Vigorous Program Agreed Upon at
Conservation Banquet Last
Wednesday Night.

The newly organized Commercial
club was certainly there with the
goods last Wednesday night. on the
occasion of their first meeting for
definite work as well as a social
feed. "A most satisfactory collation.
was spread by Mrs. Smithers for the
club and visiting guests, the high
school senior girls acting as walters,
and after this had been disposed of
w. H. Gold introduced the business
of the evening by reading the invi-
tation of the state conservation
league to the various counties of the
state to. send delegates and prepare
for representation at that gathering
next March in the matter of exhibits.
Mr.. Gold expressed his faith in Red
wood county having as good pro-
ducts as any county in the state,
if its business men and farmers
would get busy and work unitedly
towards getting a display arranged.
1t might be found that there would
be trouble in getting the display at
its best at the time of the year, and
what the club wanted to hear now
was the opinions of those present as
to the best way to get what was
wanted. He called for all who had
views in the matter to express them
at that time.
Short talks followed, Messrs. Ty-
son, Owens and Dornberg suggest
ing various ways for bringing out
facts and statistics as we'll as ex-
hibits showing up what Redwood
county had been doing.
Messrs. Emerson, Redding and
Grimm of Lamberton responded
briefly to invitations to tell what
they thought about the county's
making an exhibit at the state meet
ing next month. Mr.. Emerson said
that the Lamberton business men
had been talking over the PROPOSE
ton and that they would be glad
to cooperate with Redwood Falls
in any way to help show what the
county could do.
Mr.. Tyson had no doubt as to
what the county had done and could
produce, but thought it would be
advisable to look the field over and
find out whether the products avail
able would show up alongside of
the elaborate displays got together
last fall when all products were
available at their best.
Farmer Harry VIM volunteered
his opinion that Redwood county
could show up with the best of
them, and was applauded, others
agreeing that if a good exhibit of
the corn and grain raised here last
year could be arranged the county
need not fear comparisons.
A. O. Gimmestad of Belview was
heartily in favor of an organization
to bring Redwood county into notice.
and spoke of the good results appar-
ent at the land congress which he
attended the past season at Chicago.
He made some good suggestions in
regard to the display best suited for
such gathering as that to be held
next month at St. Paul.
Doc Dornberg said that it would
be we'll to prepare statistics show
ing some things the county had
already ACCOMPLISHED. Among 9TH
ers, that no agricultural county in
the state had made such rapid
increase in property valuation dur
ing the past fifteen years as had
Redwood county, as shown by the
reports Of the state auditor.
Senator Clague pointed out that
the state had not been properly
advertised for years, in comparison
with what had been done in the
states of the west. He illustrated
by referring to the Great Northern
railroad exhibit near the Union de.
pot at st. Paul and thought it was
to be regretted that the state Of
Minnesota had no adequate exhibit
of its resources at the state capito
