SAVING Il WILD LEG.

American wild life is approaching
extinction. Some species are already
practically wiped out, the last rem
nants confined as objects Of curiotity
to a generation which came OF earth
0 late to know what was common
experience with their forbears. Other
varieties Of animals and birds face
the same fate. their ranks annually
'thinned by the onslaught of legalized
hunting. Ordinary protective laws
seem not to be sufficient to prevent
determination. There is, perhaps. too
much illegal shooting and trapping.
State regulations lose some Of their
efficiency by not being uniform with
the regulation Of other states. It 10
possible that in some jurisdictions the
open" seasons are too long.
1t is much easier to point out the
tendency than to specify the remedial
measures needed. Even the organiSa.
,ton backing the movement might be
unable to frame q definite. constructive
programme. One direction the educa.
tional campaign might take 10 to teach
the truth that many species common
~ considered noxious are In reality
beneficial. Some Of the animals and
birds upon which farmers have made
war for generations are, in fact, the
farmers friends. Az wild creatures
become scarcer their virtues are com
Ing to DO better appreciated.

This action is taken in the face Of

Redwood county's big exposition
will be on in full blast tomorrow.
Exhibitors have been busy during
the past two days arranging their
exhibits and getting in shape toshow
the visitors what this county can do.
Racers Are Here
Racing horses are on hand getting
accustomed to the track which is in
splendid condition.
Motor cyclists have been making
the best of the time becoming ac-
quainted with the turns of the track
and they are promising the visitors
some hair raisers in the shape of
speed During the past day or two
remarkably fast time for an outdoor
track has been made.
Exhibit The HoIsteins
The splendid herd of Holsteins
from the Sears & Gold stock farm
near Wabasso has been brought to
the grounds by Glen Gold and will
be exhibited during the fair. The
animals are we'll worth seeing and
should prove an incentive to better
breeding among the stock men of
the county.
Fair directors are estimating the
first days attendance at 5000 and
the second day at 5000 and if the
weather. which now promises to hold
good, remains satisfactory these fig
ures are surely not too high.
Sure of New State Record
James MCGOWAN of Morton, the
owner of Happy Heart, the most re-
markable two year old PAGER in the
United States, is sure he will set
new state record with his colt on
Friday. The present record is 2.20
and Happy Heart has often beaten
that in private trial so there isreason
to believe MCGOWAN is right.
Every arrangement has been made
for the comfort and pleasure of the
visitors and one of the best fairs in
the history of the county is assured.

THRILLING TIME
FOR BAND BOYS
Truck Backs Down Hill And
Musicians Take to the Tall
And Uncut
STUCK IN MUD NEARLY AN HOUR
Trip to Marshall Full of Pleas
ant Experiences with Grand
Home Finale

Shooting down hill in big truck
surrounded by the shades of night
has many thrills but few pleasures.
Only an expert can successfully
guide truck backward through in
terlacing telephone poles and trees.
Speaking of going somewhere that
Marshall trip made by the Scenic
City band stands out as one of the
most remarkable in the, annals of
time.
Struck Something Soft
The boys were due in Marshall at
9 o'clock Thursday morning. They
engaged the truck, owned by S. o.
Mason to do the heavy work and
started at 6 o'clock Thursday MORN
ing. The roads were heavy but in
spite of this the truck did splendid
work until it tried to run around
place where a bridge should have
been and wasn't.
Then it got stuck.
1t stayed stuck for an hour.
Bless The Patient Horse
Also the morning was real nice and
cold,
Horses helped the machine through
the bad place and then came more
mud.
1twas mud. mud, mud. The truck
plowed through, running much of
lifetime on intermediate and low but
getting along. Also the day got
along. 1t was 8 o'clock when the
boys landed in Marshall and started
gleeful music.
Great Trip Home
The return trip was dandy and
the truck made great time. The
engine, finding good roads, worked
like a jewel and mirth reigned SUI
preme.
Then came the hill north of Japs'
garage.
Gears fail to mesh instantly.
Something catches. Truck stops,
hesitates, starts an uncertain, though
swift, course down the hill.
Forms Leap Into The Night
Into the night go shadowy forms,
band boys taking to the woods, try
ing to dodge smashup. Onecrawls
over the hack and narrowly misses
big wheel.
John Mason sticks to the wheel.
Andy Kenney stays with him, yelling
directions. They Craze a telephone
pole. raise the bark, on tree and
finally come safely to anchor AT the
foot of the hill.
So ended the trip. The truck
proved itself a great machine and
too much credit cannot be given John
for his nerve and skill at the wheel.

number of Vision Charts for schools.
These are scientific devices which re-

Ask DIR. Asleson for one and he will

them for the teachers of the county
and believes their use will tend to
lessen eye trouble and bad scholar

A FINE FRAGILE
Local Football Champions
Maintain Their Lead In
Seasons First Game
AND STEELE DOGOODWORK
Interference GoodIand Every
body Plays The Game All
The Time

Looks as though Redwood had a
champion football team this year.
The boys met Springfield Saturday
in the first game of the season and
trimmed 'em to the tune of 81 to 3.
The locals could score at will while
Springfield never consistently adj
vanced the ball. The visitors lad
the ball, by a fuke, on Redw Gods
five yard line on the first down and
were unable to push it over from
there.
2 Score Followed AssPenaltv
Their only score was made follow
ing a free catch on the forty yard
line. Springfield heeled for a free
kick but Redwood tackled the man
with the ball and was penalized
bringing the oval so near the goal
that the visitors had no trouble MAX
ing a goal from field.
Steele at center played a great
game. time after time going through
for tackle behind the line. He is a
boy all Corners will want to be wary of.
Mason Some Ground Ssainer{
Mason at quarter was the finest
ground gamer in the game. Of
course much of this was due to the
splendid interference which opened
hole for him big enough for wa
ter tank but Howard understands
hitting the line hard, is alive to every
chance and beatsit for the best opeE-
ing in sight. He runs hard, is nervy
and tackles for all there is in it.
Meyer at full back played well.
running hard, hitting hard and keep
ing his eye on the ball all the time.
Half Back Strong
Rogers at left half and Steiner at
right half, were in the game all the
time and showed ability to advance
the ball whenever called upon.
The ends were strong going down
fast on the kicks and smashing the
interference to bits on the defence.
Stensvad, who went in at left
tackle late in the game proved a
wizard for going after fumbles and
landing on the Elusive oval. He has
the making of fine player. Thayer
who played that position first, was
strong on getting through the line
on the defence and never failed to
open a way when the play was
through his position.
Used HE Long Legs
The guards, Adsit and Fuller,
were both strong anG Alexander and
Luscher at rig hit tackle made hits.
Andy showed what his long legs are
for when he went down the field on
a kick. The boy that beats Andy
will get up and dust.
Glasco and Veldey at right end
were fine on smashing things and
were particularly good on putting
the jinx on the visitor S forward pass.
Evans and Guthier at left end were
in the game all the time and no end
runner was safe.
4 Sergeant of Springfield and Behler
of Redwood were the officials.
On Saturday the boys expect to
play at Fairfax.

RECREATIONS
THRILLING BY
SOME HUSBANDS
Burlesque of the Hilarious Or.
der Is Liberty Theater

Fun is the keynote of The Tri-
flers," put on last night as the week
end bill of the Raymond Teal com
pany at the Liberty Theater. 1t is
fun fast and furious all the way
through, with a strong flavor of Ger
man, cafe hilarity and occasionally
bordering on boisterOusness.
The Triflers" is a humorous fling
at husbands who flirt with the wives
of other husbands, and it's plot con-
sists mainly of the complicated situ-
atoms that result in the husbands
finding each other out and the wives
also discovering their husbands fol-
bles.
Although the show savors a good
deal of the slapstick methods, it got
more genuine laughter from the big
house and furnished more enjoyment
for the audience in the back rows as
we'll as the front than any of the pre-
vious bills, which is saying a good
deal. The feature is a burlesque
fight participated in by Jack Curtis,
otherwise The Kid" and Charles Lee
Roy, one of the "trifling husbands"
This scrap Is a merry one while it
lasts. There is a lot of clever COM
edy all through.

followed on Monday by TOO Many
