Motorcycle and Run

Marian Whittet, seven year old
son of William Whittet, narrowly
escaped death by clinging to the
hame of a runaway horse Friday
afternoon. His brother, aged S, on
another horse was saved from fall
ing by his father.
Motorcycle Started Things
The motorcycle ridden by Edward
White came up behind the Whittet
horses as they were leaving the field.
Mr.. Whittet was riding one horse
and leading two, while each of the
boys was on a horse.
All five horses started to run as
the machine turned out to go past.
Marian's horse was the fastest and
soon distanced the others. He man.

of mile and then was shaken from
the excited animals back but had
the presence of mind to cling to the
hame.
So swinging at the side of his
horse. his feet entangled in the lines
he rode for quarter of mile. Had
his fingers slipped from the hame he
would have been dragged at the side

certainly dashed to death.
In the end he was saved by his IL
year old cousin, John Winter. John
seeing the horse coming with the
swaying boy, ran into the road and
taking desperate chances managed
to get hold of the bride. In time
he stopped the horse and assisted
Marian to free himself from the
lines. No one was injured.

RECITAL ON THURSDAY
Arthur Ratchet Formerly Of
Hamline Will Read the
"Music Master"

If he lives up to his reputation,
Arthur Rachel, who comes to Red
wood Falls under the auspices of the
Christian Endeavor of the Presby-
terian church, will give the citizens
of this town a rare treat on Thurs
day eveding at the Christian church.
Mr.. Rachel. who was formerly
connected with the faculty at Ham,
line university. is said to be one of
the best dramatic readers in the
country.
..a has chosen for his medium in
Redwood the piece that scored one
of the most astonishing successes Of
the past ten years. New York and
Chicago and the other large cities
raved over THE Music Master" as
they did over 'The Servant in the
House."
The Music Master" tells a quaint
story in highly dramatic manner
with several intense moments and
much rich, delightful humor.
Wherever Mr.. Rachel has given
this reading he has received extrava-
giant praise and doubtless Redwood
Falls will be as delighted with his
work as the residents of other
places. Mr.. Rachel was secured for
this reading by the Christian Endea-
vor and every effort will be made to
secure large audience for the read
ing on Thursday night at the Christ
ian church.

WINTER FIGHTS
REAL LIVE WIRE
Goes to Remove Obstruction
and gets Caught so he can't
Get Away
WIFE HURRIfs TO THE RESCUE
Mrs. James Stevenson Joins In
and Wire Fastens Onto
Her Hands
WIFE HURRIES TO THE RESCUE

Did you ever attempt to lay viol-
ent hands upon a live wire?
Don't do it. The laying is all
right but the letting go is akin to
Sherman's definition of war.
To all of which Harry Winter,
Mrs. Harry Winter and Mrs. James
Stevenson are prepared to swear.
Found He Couldn't Let Go
Mr.. Winter noticed the wire hang
ing from the fence and tried to re-
move it. TO grab the wire and pull
it away seemed the simplest thing to
do.
He tried it.
After that he spent some time try
ing to let go the thing. Like the
ghost of Banquo it would not down.
Mrs. Stevenson Anchord
Mrs. Stevenson heard the outcry
and ran to help. Mr.. Winter tried
to tell her to keep away but she beat
him to it and in about twentieth
of a second she was also safely an
chored to the wire.
Mrs Winter Cautious
At this point enters Mrs. Winter.
More cautious than the others she
had provided herself with an apron
and sacks. Thus armed she boldly
attacked the wire and found herself
immune. But it was one thing to
keep free herself and another to Free
those already secured.
However after twenty minutes of
strenuous pulling she managed tc
get first one and then another loose
Mrs. Stevenson's and Mr.. Winter s
hands were badly burned but nc
other damage was done.

beat the men to fragile.

SCHOOL TO OPEN
ON SEPTEMBER 4
Summer Vacation Nearly at
End and Work of Year
to Begin Soon
TO TEACH AGRICULTURAL WORK
Sulendid Course in This De-
partment Has Been Pre-
pared-Notices Out
TO TEACH AGRICULTURAL WORK

Vacation has just about gone glim-
mering and the schools of Redwood
will reopen for the years work on
Monday. September a.
w. C. Hermann will be superin-
tendent again this year and he pre-
diets one of the most successful
years in the history of the local
schools. He has made careful prep
aration of the courses to be given
and believes that any student enter
ing the school this winter will find
the courses of studies more helpful
than ever.
Announcements Are Out.
The announcements of the work
to be done have been mailed by him
to the patrons of the school and
these announcements show exactly
what is expected and what is to be
accomplished.
The work in agriculture is to be
as strong as it is possible to make it
and this means that there will be no
school in this section of the state do
ing more efficient work in this line
than the schools of Redwood Falls.
viii Get $1,000 Aid.
This was made possible by the pos
sible by the passage of the Benson
Lee Act by the last legislature.
which act provides for a special aid
of $1,000 year to any school that
will do work in agriculture and
some other industrial subject. as
manual training or domestic science.
In view of the fact that both manu-
al training and domestic science
have both been established for some
years, it is only necessary to add
agriculture to qualify under this
act.
What Work Will Include.
The work in agriculture will in
clude:
g.. A course based upon text
books, bulletins and lectures.
b. A laboratory course, includ-
ing physical examination of soils,
study of weeds. preparation of weed
seed cases, testing of seeds, testing
for butter fat, grain judging, etc.
c. Special work along some line
of local interest, such as dalrying
and corn breeding. The aim is to
develop strength along some special
line.
A Winter Short Course.
d. The organization of institute
work in cooperation with the extern
sion division of the college of agri-
culture of the state university.
e. A winter short course. The
aim of this course is to give an op-
portunity to boys and girls on the
farm who cannot attend school dur
ing the entire year. This short
course will be three months in
length. Work will be given in agri-
culture and industrial subjects. but
all who need it will also have an op-
portunity to take work in the COM
mon branches.
South Dakota Man Coming.
P. V. Finley, a graduate of South
Dakota State College has been en-
gagged to take charge of the work in
agriculture and manual training.
All interested in this work should
make application to the superinten-
tendent.
Rooms and Board Wanted.
Anyone who is prepared to room
or board either teachers or students
should notify the superintendent.
Also any one who is in a position to
furnish work to students who wish
to do something to assist in paying
their way through school should in

A QUICK TWIST.
Why the Watchfui Owl Didn't Wiring
It's Own Head Off

Boys who have tried to put salt on
a birds tail' generally come to the
conclusion that birds can ''see behind
them" and some may half believe that
the heads Of these little creatures are
hung on pivots. How easily one could
conceive such notion is illustrated
by the experience of a Maryland man
who had read story about an owl
wringing its own neck by looking at
man who was walking around him.
The Marylander decided to experiment
along these lines and so procured a
him on a post.
1t was not difficult for the expert
menter to secure the owls attention,
for the bird never diverted his gaze
from the ,man while the latter was
present The man began walking rap
idly around the post few feet from
1t, keepingshis eyes fixed upon the bird
all the while.
The owls body remained motionless.
but his head turned exactly with the
Lldu w bth TIC man
was halfway round the owls head was
directly behind Three-quarters of a
circle were completed, aud still the
same twist Of the neck and the same
stare followed the man.
One circle and no change. On the
man went, twice around, and still that
watchful stare and steady turn of the
head Three times the man went
around, and he began to wonder why
the owls head did not drop off. when
all at once the man discovered what he
had failed to notice before.
When the man reached a distance
halfway around from the front, which
was as far as the owl could turn his
head to follow the experimenter's
movements with comfort, the owl
whisked it back through the whole cir
Gle so instantaneously and brought 1t
facing the man again with such pre-
cision that the latter failed to detect
the movement. although he was look
ing intently all the while at the bird.
The Marylander repeated the expert
ment many times afterward on the
same bird, and he had always to
watch carefully to detect the move
ment of the readjustment of the owls

DARING DRIVERS AT STATE FAIR
Ray Harroun and Bob Burman, Two
Greatest Speed Annihilators,
to Be There.

"The best there is in the auto
racing game" is the slogan of the
Michigan state fair this year. In
stead of securing one great star as
was the case last year when Barney
Oldheld was brought to Detroit, a
half dozen famous dare-devils have
been signed up and will not only
endeavor to chase Father Time
clear off the map, but will enter into
open competition in the big handi-
cap races.
The greatest of all long distances
automobile drivers, Ray Harroun,
worlds speedway champion, along
with his famous Marmon Wasp rae
ing creation, which won the 500
mile international sweepstakes, at
Indianapolis, last Memorial day, will
head the list of space annihilators.
Bob Burman, worlds speed king,
and holder of the present worlds
circular dirt track mark, who Is al
ready well known to most of the auto
| racing bugs in these parts, will be
here and will bring with him the
magnificent 200 horsepower Bitten
Benz racing machine. Burman holds
with this great machine besides the
circular dirt track mark, all the
worlds short distance speedway,
straight away and competition rec.
ords, and will again try for new
| mark on the fair grounds course.
