Plans Made For Bigger
and Better County Fair
Board of Directors Plans New Stock
Building, Completion of Grand
Stand and Improved Track
FINANCIAL CONDITION GOOD.
Purse for Races Increased $1,000;
Team From High School VIII
Put ON Track Work

The Board of Directors of the Red
wood County Fair Association had a
meeting yesterday afternoon and de-
cided several points in the plans al
ready made for the Fair of 1914.
1t has been decided by the direc-
tors to put more buildings on the
ground. The main need is for stock
barn and that the grand stand be-
completed. Both will be erected in
the next few months and a six foot
woven wire fence with barbed wire
on top will also be used to enclose
the entire grounds.
Race Track Repaired
The east end of the race track
will also be filled in with black dirt
and the entire track put in first class
shape. The directors have set aside
$4,000 to be used as purses for the
races. This is $1,000 more than was
available last year and will be the
means of bringing the best horses
here.
The premiums on stock have also
been materially increased and it is
probable that many more entries will
be made this year than last.
Two running races and two motor
cycle races have been arranged for
already and plans are being made
for track work to be put on by
team from the High School.
Lists Issued Soon
The Directors will place the ma
terial for the premium lists in the
hands of the printer, May Is, and
anyone in the county, who desires
advertising space in the book should
comply with the conditions of the
bids advertised elsewhere in this IS
sue Last year several advertisers
outside of Redwood Falls complained
they were given no opportunity to
place advertising in the hood, and
the directors wishing to treat all
fairly, are giving all an equal OPP
portunity.
The Fair Association is in better
financial condition now than it has
ever been before due to the splendid
management of the present board and
the very successful fair held here
last year. Given as good weather
conditions as prevailed last year, this
years fair promises to be an even
greater success. The Association has
few membranes and the new inn
provements will be cared for by the
selling of more stock.

Game Each Day

The Semi Centennial Celebration

car itself. The various prizes will
be announced soon.
The cars will parade through the
City and through Ramsey State Park,
avoiding the big hill and thus elimi-
mating any danger of accidents.
Arrangements are being made to
bring the ball clubs of Marshall and
Owatonna here for the three days,
game to be played each day. These
games will be played at the fair
grounds, permission having been CIV
en- by the directors of the Fair AS
ISOLATION at their meeting yesterday.
Both these clubs have populations
for good lively playing and these
games will prove very attractive to
all fans.
The Second Regiment Band from
New Ulm will be one of the attrac-
tions Armory Day, when the .cere-
mony of dedicating the Armory will
take place. The last day will be New
Corners Day and the Summer Open
ing of Alexander Ramsey Park.
The Park is being carefully dressed
for the occasion, new paths having
been recently laid out and the roads
all repaired. Jos. Tyson, Superin-
tendent of Parks, made trip to New
Ulm last week where he purchased
towering shrubs to be placed in the
Park principally at the entrance.

A. Emerson and A. r. A. Laud0n File
To Succeed Themselves as County
Attorney and Probate Judge

C. M. Bendixen of Morgan, filed
as Representative of Redwood Coun-
ty while here last Saturday, and NJ
W. Cobleigh filed for the same NOM
ination yesterday morning. This
makes four candidates for this NOM
ination, A. J. Praxel of Lamberton
and John Price of Waterbury hay
ing filed before. All the candidates
are new except C. M. Bendixen, who
represented Redwood County during
the last legislature.
County Attorney Emerson has also
filed for return to his present Of
fee, and A. r. A. Laudon, Judge of
Probate, filed yesterday. Unlike the
other county officers, the term of
Judge of probate is fixed by the state
constitution at two years and the
Judges present term expires this year.
Judge Laudon has been an extreme
ly satisfactory officer and would be
practically unbeatable at the pres
ent time. However no opposition has
presented itself and it is quite prob
able there will be none.
August E. Erickson of Springfield,
filed today with Julius A. Schmahl,
Secretary of State, as state senator
from Brown and Redwood Counties.
This puts two candidates in the SEN
atorship campaign, w. w. Smith of
Sleepy Eye having filed his candi-
dancy some time ago.
Late today it was learned that Al
bert Hauser, an attorney of Sleepy
Eye, had filed his candidancy as Rep
resentative-at-Large today. This is
the first opposition to J. r. Keefe of
North Redwood who filed several
weeks ago. This makes two candi-
dates for state officer from Sleepy
Eye.

a practical demonstration of both
the single and double treatment vac

furnished by A. d. Stewart. 1t was
shown how absolutely essential it is,
in order to get good results that the
serum be absolutely pure and reliable,
the instruments sterilized and the
animal treated washed thoroughly on
the vaccinated portion of it's body in
order to avoid infection. This treat
ment should be given only by a IL
censed veterinarian. Both Drs. Golden
and Cherry are authorized to do this
work.

Automobile Club
Hears Address by
John Holman
President of State Automobile Asso-
citation Explains Dunn Road Law
to Large Crowd
BANQUET AND ADDRESS TO-DAY
Ladies of Church of st. Catherine
Serve Fine Dinner in New Din
ing Room of Armory

The Redwood County Automobile
Club entertained at dinner at the
National Guard Armory today, hav-
ing as its special guests the mem
bers of the town boards and the road
supervisors of the county. John Hob
mann, of Mankato, President of the
State Automobile Association was
present and addressed the assembly.
Dinner was served in the basement
of the Armory by the ladies of the
Church of ST. Catherine The menu
was a particularly delicious one and
very nicely served.
Following the dinner Mr.. Hohmann
talked in the drill room, and follow
ing his address was a general dis
cussion led by Sen. Clague, A. D.
Stewart, Jos. Tyson and o. Kipp.
Talks en- Dunn Law
Mr.. Hohmann's talk dealt with the
Dunn Road Law and it's significance to
the road-future of Minnesota. Mr..
Holman thoroughly understands the
law, believes in it stanchly and is
most anxious that it should be given
a good fair trial.
Mr.. Hohmann suggested that Min
nesota had gotten safely through two
periods of road history; the periods
of education and legislation and is
now entering upon its third and most
important period that of construction.
1t was the work of the last legisla-
ture to revise and codify all old road
laws and to pass new road law
which was the Dunn Law.
Provisions of Law
Under the Dunn Law the old road tax
system gives way to the new and
more efficient Cash System. Main
tenance of improved roads is also
another important feature of the new
law.
Mr.. Hohmann explained clearly the
purpose, duty and methods of the
State Highway Commission which
stands ready to help county and town
boards by suggestion and supervision
Roads Classified
Roads are classified into State,
County and Township roads supported
by different taxations. Mr.. Hohmann
showed how towns may legally help
in construction and up-keep of state
roads Icing within town boundaries
and explained about the letting of
road contracts.
Under the Dunn Law roads are
supported by state tax, county tax
and township tax. The law also pro-
vides for a dragging fund.
Allotment of Fund
The State Aid fund for 1914
amounted to 81 1896, OOO, 900, which
was distributed to the So counties by
the Highway Commission. Each coun-
tvs allotment must be met in pro-
portion to that county's valuation.
Work for which the funds are used
must be done under the supervision
of deputy state engineer.
Under the Dunn Law the work done
on town roads is under the direction
of competent road supervisor APP
pointed by the town board. At least
20so of the annual allotment must
be used for the maintenance of roads
already built. As good use to which
at least part of this sum might be
put, Mr.. Hohmann suggested the
adoption of Patrol System, which
along with other details, would keep
the road free from distractions, see
no gravel or stone was taken from
road beds and all roads bitches kept
open.

Synopsis

Synopsis
sss. Or was born in Persia 500 years
before Christ. Being an orphan from
infancy, she was adopted by her uncle
Mordecai, who, recognizing her great
beauty, trained her in the accomplish
ments of highest womanhood. She
was chosen by the King of the Realm
to be his wife and Queen. She did not
disclose her nationality. Hannah was
Premier and favorite of the King.
Hannah hated Mordecai because he
would not worship him as the King
had commanded. He did not know
Mordecai's relation to the Queen. To
be revenged, he obtained decree for
destroying all the Jews in the pro-
vinces. Mordecai discovers the plot
and charges the Queen to petition the
King for the safety of her people,
which she does at the peril of her life,
on account of the law that no one
should go unto the King unbidden.
The King hears her petition and Ha-
man is defeated. Hannah had pre-
pared gallows for Mordecai. An
attendant informs the King of the
fact and the King orders Hannah to
be hanged from it, and proclaims
Mordecai Premier in his stead. At
ter this the people rejoice and
sing praises

Will +. Holbein, publisher of the
Lansford Journal, will run for Com
missioner of Agriculture against w.
G.. Gilbreath. Mr.. Holbein is secre-
tary of the N. D. Press Association,
and no doubt figures that he will have
the press crowd back of him, and be-
ing firm believer in the "power Of
the press" he figures he will be elect
ed. Some surprises will greet him
when election day rolls around.--
Plaza Pioneer.
Nothing could have pleased the
friends of Mr.. Holbein more than the
above, for this is sure to react in his
favor, if indeed there could be any
chances of improving his chances for
election. Mr.. Holbein has not enter
ed this campaign as secretary of the
press association. His resignation is
in the hands of the president. He is
not running against w. c. Gilbreath
and he isn't going to be "surprised."
Otherwise Mr.. Smith told the truth.
