The MEETING
. AT RED Wing
Fargoans Made Fine Appear
ance IN Parade

Red Wing, Mimi, June S.-While
the parade OF the u. c. T. here was
hardly equal to the big parade of
Fargo one year ago., it vas a most
creditable one and everybody was
pleased with it. Fargo made a good
~earan In the natty uniforms worn
last year and the guy with the yell
low tie'' was much In evidence. There
was an immense crowd in town and
the picnic out on the lake was a very
enjoyable affair.
The women had their headquarters
at the commercial club and many of
them were entertained in Red Wing
homes. AS each woman registered she
received a card admitting her to every
attraction prepared for the visitors, al
SO emitting her to a chance in the
series of prize drawings. Angora
cats, umbrellas, purses and articles of
wearing apparel are included in the
list OF prizes.
The big hit with the travellers has
been made by the motor boat racing,
After the first race, in which
the United Commercial Travellers boat,
a new craft built by Edward Ander-
son and which carried an eighty-siH
horsepower motor, won over the older
boats, the visitors have demanded
three and four races. One race was
scheduled for the day, but two were
put on last night, the United Com
mercial Travellers boat winning each.
Anderson's speed in the three races
was thirty miles an hour.
A. hundred launches, owned by Red
Wing residents and persons in sur
rounding towns were put at the service
of the visitors today and q flying trip

Agricultural Extension

The Lever Agricultural Extension
bill, providing for Federal and State
support of plan to maintain a skill
ed farm demonstrator in every agri-
cultural county of the nation, passed
the House, Aug. %, but was not act
ed upon by the Senate. The National
Soil Fertility league is interested in
the bill and will urge it's favorable
consideration by the Senate when
Congress re-convenes in December.
The enactment OF this measure
would, no doubt, result in placing
the United States in the fore front in
the matter of scientific agriculture.
We are already one of the greatest
agricultural nations If not the great
est, but scientific supervision and
direction would greatly add to our
production and insure an income to
the farmer proportionate to his ex-
penditure of money, time and energy.
1t would also check the drain on the
fertility OF the soil and make the
farm more productive year after
year.

Kentucky Health Work Commended

Mr.. Wickliffe Rose, the Executive
Secretary of tho Rockefeller Sanitary
commission, recently made a tour CO
Kentucky, and his report to the COM
mittee is highly commendatory of the
work being done in Kentucky under
the State Board of Health.
He visited the summer school for
county health officers, held in Louis
vile, July to 18th, and has moth
ing but words of praise for the
work done thore.
Mr.. Rose was especially interested
in the fight being made in the state
against Hook Worm and commends
the work being done in the laboratory
at Bowling Green by DR.. South and
others, and the field work of DR..
Lock, of Barbourvillc, who has a new
and effective method of treatment
and who makes the slides for his
pictures from original photographs
He reports DR.. Lock as saying that
ninety per cent of his patients are
cured by one treatment.
DR.. Heller, the vital statisticiau,
comes in for much praise, and the
enthusiasm of all the forces utilized
by the Board of Health is commended
Mr.. Rose was also impressed with
the eagerness of the people to hear
the Health lectures and their ready
response in submitting specimens for
microscopical tests.
