COLONIES COMING TO
COLUMBIA TO TRAIN
US|NGC. MA. GROUNDS
THE LOUISVILLE BASEBALL CLUB
WILL BE HERE FOR ABOUT
A MONTH.
SECRETARY sOWELL NOTIFIED
Receives Telegram From President
Whathen Stating That Dimple Is
Favored as Place For Preparing for
The Coming Season.

The Colonies are coming. Columbia
will be the training ground this spring
of the Louisville American Baseball
Association club. A telegram to this
effect was received late Thursday af-
ternoon from President o. H. Whathen,
of the club He wired Secretary Ash
ley B. Sowell, of the Columbia Board
of Trade, that the club was coming.
This will be most gratifying news
not alone to the baseball fans of the
community but also to the business
interests. More than that it will mean
considerable advertising for Columbia,
for there are always newspaper men
from the home city and possibly from
news associations that accompany the
club on its practice expeditions and
report the work that is made.
The coming of the Colonies means
that between twenty-five and thirty
players will be here for three or four
weeks, in addition to the visitors and
newspaper men who are sure to come
with them. They will arrive during
the latter part of next month.
The grounds of the Columbia Mill
tary Academy will be used by the
club for practice and there will be
work every day, for the players do
not go on these jaunts for fun but for
work In addition there will be a
number Of big match games played
here. The offer of Col Hulvey for the
use of the grounds was accepted.
Ever since the visit here last week
OF the secretary Of the club there has
been little doubt of landing them. He
was so favorably impressed that
good report was assured. Much hard
work to get the club has been done
by Col. Hulvey, Secretary Sowell,
President Sloan and Mayor Joseph M.
Dedman.

FIVE EWES HAVE
FOURTEEN LAMBS
THAT Is THE REMARKABLE
SHOWING MADE BY JAMES
McMEEN.

ZONES still another good farmer to
tell of the wonders of lamb produc-
tion this favored season. James Nc
Meen, one of the best tillers of the
soil and stock growers of the Spring
Hill country, has had fourteen lambs
from five ewes. Four of the ewes had
three lambs each and the fifth one
was content with twins. That would
be a pretty hard record to beat.

AUSTIN HARLAN
GROWER OF SHEEP
ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE FARMER
MAKES AN ENVIABLE
RECORD.

Austin M. Harlan, of Cross Bridges
one of the most successful farmers OF
the county, has lamb record that for
the number of ewes will be hard to
distance in the county. Mr.. Harlan
has 141 ewes and already he has
100 lambs with more to come. TAX.
ing the size of the flock into consid-
Grafton this would be hard to beat.
Mr. Harlan is a firm believer in sheep
and knows from experience the prof
its that they bring.

MAKING WORK ON
ROAD DIFFICULT
BAD WEATHER HAS SERIOUSLY
AFFECTED PROGRESS ON
NEW HIGHWAY.

Bad weather during January, the
constant rains and freezing and thaw.
ing, has made work on the new coun-
ty highway being constructed by the
work house hands, very difficult. Lit
tie progress has been made during the
month In actual road building, al.
though a large amount of rock has
been quarried and crushed. There
are now about sixty prisoners, on an
average, at the work house, of whom
half dozen are women. This is con-
siderably below the average for the
season for several years past.

VOTE FOR PRAXEL.

"HE Gazette is very hopeful that the
voters of Brown and Redwood Coun-
ties wi. unite to send A. }. Praxel
to the Capitol next winter as the Repre-
sentative-at-Large from the two counties.
In ordinary justice, since Brown County
has the honor of the representation in the
Senate, Redwood County should have the
extra man in the House. Aside from
Mr.. Praxels absolutely right geographical
location, he is absolutely all right on AL
the other points which are factors in good
legislation Tony is a young attorney OF
broad experience and knowledge, affable
and pleasing in personality, upright and
clean-cut in his character. Brown Coun-
ty generously comedies the election to Mr..
Praxel, both on his own merits and as a
matter of fairness to Redwood County.
Surely his own County should be equally
loyal and give Tony handsome vote.
There are several things Mr.. Praxel can
do for the two counties if he is given a
seat among the states lawmakers. Let's
give him the chance. Election comes No
vember Z. Along with five or six other
good things, VOTE FOR PRAXEL.

GOODBYE. SUMMER!

WE are about to bid a fond and lin
M gering farewell to summer. And
w it is with note of sadness in our
voice that we bid her goodbye, for with
all her heat, hives and humidity we still
love her. We have enjoyed her sunshine
and her storms, her smiling face and her
darkened brow of thunderclouds. We even
endured the ice man, and every time the
thermometer did an aerial stunt to reach
100 in the shade, we have mopped our
brow and delighted in the thought that
it was good weather for corn. So fare
well, summer, and hello fall And what
a delightful season fall is in Minnesota.
When Jack Frost, the magic painter, turns
the greenery into gold, and adds flash
of color to the landscape, and the wine
like quality of the ozone makes the Old
forget their aches and pains and causes
them to gambol like lambs in the pasture.
When we leave summer to step into fall,
we are simply passing from one delight
to another-Winnebag Enterprise.
From the above effusion one might al
most think Fred Hadley had never paid
coal bill in his life Maybe he never has!

THE CHILDREN's BUILDING.

THE Commissioners of Redwood Coun-
ty have done many good thing in
4 their time, but they never did big
ger or better than when they aided and
abetted the children of the county's pub
lie schools in erecting the exclusive
schools Building" at the County Fair
grounds. It's modest looking little gray
cement building, but the exhibits on its
walls and in it's booths are not modest
they proudly flaunt the pennant of school
progress, of child achievement, of school
officer assistance, of superintendent ability
and energy Thinking back to the school
exhibit of five years ago, crowded as it
was into any spare corner, one is amazed
at the growth Of this exhibit in quantity,
quality and variety. The congratulatory
feature however, is not that the showing
at the annual fairs show advancement and
increased interest in the things OF school
life. but that in order to get this show
ing there must be actual advancement
and increased interest through every day
of the school year-the exhibit is PROOF
positive that teachers and pupils are aWak-
ening more and more every year to their
opportunitiesan possibilities. There would
