Wanda Children
Enjoy Days Trip
Citizens And Teachers of Wanda
Join Forces in Bringing
Pupils to County Seat
EIGHTY-FIVE IN PARTY
Visit Court House, Jail, Fair
Grounds And Park; Then on
to LambertOn

Fourteen cars from Wanda
brought the majority of the
school children from the Wan
da consolidated schools, to Red
wood Falls Monday morning, the
party arriving here between ten
and eleven o'clock. The tour,
as planned by Prof. Cunning, SUI
perintendent of the schools, and
his teachers, was partly for
pleasure and partly for educa-
ton.
Upon it's arrival here the par
ty went directly to the court
house, where they were shown
the court and jury rooms, the
Offices of the various officers of
the county, and received some
explanation of the form and
workings Of the county govern
ment. They were also taken to
the jail where many of them
saw the barred and locked cells
for the first time.
The next lap of the days jour
ney took them to the county fair
grounds where much interest
was manifested in the school ex-
hibit building toward which
these pupils, with the other pu-
pills of the county, contributed
funds used for construction
costs. The grandstand and race
track also attracted the atten-
ton of the children.
The next visit was made to
the Ramsey state park where
luncheon, brought by the auto
lists, was eaten at the log cabin.
After luncheon, a trip through
the Park was taken and then the

Pig Wins H0n0rS
For Be|vieW Lad
Russell Payne of District No. 70
Earns Pig Profit of S1O.94 for
Four Months Care

The Gazette is constantly
learning Of things which increas-
es its pride in Redwood County,
and the latest Of these discov-
cries IS the prize pig which won
the prize in the Boys Pig Grow
ing Contest for Redwood Coun-
ty. This pig was raised by Rus
sci Payne, a slip of a lad of fiji
teen years, who goes to school in
District 70. near Belview. -
When Russell took charge of
the afsaro, Jersey piglet which
was to make him famous, away
back last May, said piglet was
six weeks old and weighed sew
enteen pounds. Not much pork
to him-but lots of tail and
squeal, and a tremendous capa-
city for skinned milk which
was the food Russell had decided
upon as the most suitable diet.
It wasn't such an expensive diet,
costing, with the few deserts
and things permitted the baby
pork, only $3.16 from May l un-
til August % when P. Duroc-
Jersey was weighed in, tipping
the scales at a hundred and
lightweight lbs. This meant a
net gain Of 1904 for RussePs
time and energy and now his
motto is "Buy more pigs, to get
more money, to buy more pigs,
to get more money" Pigs is
Pigs now just the same as when
some man whose name is for
gotten, made himself famous by
remarking the same, and no one
is quicker to grasp this signifi-
canoe than the Redwood Coun-
ty farm boy. This pig was sent
to the state fair at HamIine and
will be seen at the Redwood
County Fair September 27, %,
20 and 80.

Fair Association
Will Sell Stock
Residents of Redwood County
Given Opportunity to Assist
with COunty's Fair

At a meeting held at the Com
mercial Club rooms last Wed
nesday it was decided that the
Redwood County Fair Associa-
ton should dispose of more
stock, thereby giving more peo-
pie an opportunity to have a
share in this biggest public in
stitution of the county, and to
assist the Board Of Directors in
defraying the expense of the
improvements which are con-
stantly being made on the
grounds, and in the conducting
Of the fairs which are giving
Redwood County a statewide
reputation.
Since 1912, the year the pres
ent association took up the work
Of carrying on the fairs, and
purchased the present fair
grounds, the sum Of $16,147.1O
has been spent on grounds and
improvements. SCOck mas Deen
sold and collected amounting to
5,226.37, and the indebtedness
amounts to $1,000. The net
earnings Of the fair, during the
years from 1912 to the present
amount to $3,720.73. These fig
ures show that the fair associa-
ton is an earning proposition
and that money spent for stock
is money well invested for fu-
ture returns as we'll as for pres
ent benefit.
A committee consisting of A..
D. McRae, H. Buechner, C. F..
Gales, F. Murset, H. A. Bald
win, F. Clague and w. M. Smith

Schools Open With
Big ENROLMENT
Over One Hundred Eighty High
School Pupils by Monday
Noon; More Are Coming

The schools of Redwood Fails
opened Monday with a very good
registration, which is not yet
complete, many students in the
high school particularly having
not yet arrived. The grade pu-
pills numbered 1888 Monday and
1873 had registered in the high
school classes up to Monday
noon. The registration here will
not be complete until the end of
the week. Supt. D. S. Brainard
remarks that the student body
has changed very greatly, and
many new students have regis
tered from out Of town. This
effects not only the Freshmen
class, which by the way, has an
enrolment of IS, but is also very
noticeable among the other
classes.
In spite of the handicap of
not being able to get into the
new building the school work
has started out very promising
ly and satisfactorily. At pres
ent the K. P. hail, the lecture
room of the public library, the
Armory and the court room are
being used by the classes, but
it is hoped that the high school
building will be ready for occu-
pancy by the last of the week,
the time Of waiting being deter
mined by the time it takes to
get the heating plant ready for
operation.
All teachers are meeting their
classes at present except Smith
T. Edwards who is still at Camp
Llano Grande. Carl johnson of
Tyler has been engaged as a
substitute for Mr.. Edwards, hav-
ing been employed for three
months as teacher Of physics
and chemistry. All other posi-
lions are filled as announced in
an earlier edition of The Ga
zette.

Redwood County Ready
For Biggest Fair Yet

Judge A. C. Dolliff, will have a
fine Tot of race horses to an
nounce by the last of the week,
and the races will be equal to or
better than anything seen here
in the past.
Pres. Stensvad closed con-
tracts last week with the oper-
ator Of a first class merry-go-
round and with the manager of
a Ferris wheel. These two at
tractive features mean much en-
joyment for Young America and
his small sister when they at
tend the fair. Mr.. Stensvad is
confident that the shows on the
Pike, and the free attractions
are better this year than ever
before, and these, with the full
programs given during the even
ings Of the fair, should make
the amusement element strong
er than ever before. The big
dancing tent, with music fur
nished by the Jones' orchestra
will undoubtedly prove big at
traction at night.
A full program of the four
days entertainment will be pub
lished in next weeks issue of
the Gazette.
