MakeSDebate Team
Redwood Falls H. S. Grad Given
Place in Westminster's
Freshmen Team

Myrl J. Williams, a graduate
of the Redwood Falls High
School last June, and former
High School debater, has won a
place on the Freshman debating
team at Westminster College,
New Wilmington, Pa. This is

With two other Freshmen, c..
P. Reed of Houston, Pa, and J..
Y. McCracken Of Sewickley, Pa,
Williams will uphold the mega
tive side of the question, RE

in the United States between the
ages of eighteen and twenty be
compelled to attend a frst-class
military college for two years, !"
in the annual Frcshnlan-Sopho-
more debate which is to be he'd
December II.
Williams work thus far makes
him promising candidate for
the Varsity debating team, which
this year meets New York Uni
versity, Colgate, Penn State,
University of Pittsburgh, and
Geneva. Westminster is able to
secure such institutions as these
on her schedule because of her
enviable record in debating dur
ing a long series of years. Last
year every intercollegiate debate
was won, five in all. Because of
this high ranking the Tau Kap-
pa Alpha Fraternity, which has
chapters at colleges Iike Har-
ward, Yale, Columbia, and the
University of California, has
granted a charter to the debat-
ers at Westminster.
Williams class mates believe
that he has a brilliant future
/ before him and that during the
next four years will make him.

world. His high scholarship and
unassuming manners have made
him many friends among both
faculty and undergraduates.

G.. A. r. And w. r. c. Present
Excellent Program at Armory
Thursday Evening

A Campfire was held by the
local G. A. R. and w. r. C. Or
ders at the Armory last Thurs
day evening and a most inter-
esting program given. Dept.
Com. Van Camper and State W.
l. r. C. President, Mrs. Allen, both
gave interesting and inspiring
talks on patriotic subjects and
their talks were greatly enjoyed
by the audience. Col. Hopkins
was another speaker who added
materially to the occasion. Mar
tial music was furnished by the
i Fort Ridgely drum corps and
aroused a fine spirit Of patriotic
enthusiasm.
| Other features of the program
were flag drill by the children
of the first and second grades,
readings by Mrs. Grapp, Mrs.
Alfred Schmidt, Mrs. T. E. Finn
and Mrs. Fuller, and vocal Sc
lections by Miss Starr, Miss
Shoemaker, Col. Hopkins and
Mrs. Hillig and Miss Barnes
Miss Gertrude Alberts played a
piano solo.
The big feature of the even
ing was actual conflict between
the Civil War Veterans and the
Red Men, the sham battle being
most successfully staged by
John Klaus assisted by Henry
Schmidt, Commander of the John
Ball Post. Indian dances ano
war cries produced several rea
thrills during this part of the
program.

Burgderfer TO
Give NextProgran1
Original Funny Man to Give Lee
ture Course Number Tues
day, December 10

"Burgderfer, Entertainer is
the headliner at the Armory
next week, appearing there Tues
day night, December 19, as a
number of the lecture course.
Clarence Burgderfer is the
original funny man, and has
been recognized for years as one
of the most popular entertainers
on the Lyceum platform. He has
been recalled again and again to
scores of cities large and small.
He has the natural gift of hu-
NOR and good cheer, together
with an unusual personality,
which pleases people of every
class. His original wit, inimit-
able style and wonderful power
of mimicry easily place him in a
class by himself.
His entertainments are unique
and refreshingly different--made
up of original and well-chosen
stories with a point, true to life,
costume character sketches, bits
of tragedy, piano-logues and
"jest nuts" He does most of
his "making-up" before the au-
dience, entertaining them the
while with his witticisms.
His work is mostly of a hui
morous character, yet at times
his pathos invariably touches
the chord of human sympathy
and while the audience is con-
vulsed with laughter, they &C
away with a warm spot in their
heart for Burgderfer.

The County Fair
Association Has
Annual Meeting
Agricultural Association Found
in Good Condition; Property
Increased in Value
NEW STOCK SOLD
Same Directors Reelected And
Board Organizes with Same
Officers as Before

The annual meeting of the
Redwood County Agricultural
Association was held at the court
house last Tuesday afternoon, a
fair representation Of stock hold
ers being present.
The president Of the Associa-
ton, R. Stensvad, presided at
the meeting and the Sec, C. V.
Everett read his report of the
financial condition of the 1916
County Fair. Mr.. Everett's fig
ures showed receipts amounting
to $8,678.50 with disbursements
amounting to So, 495.44 the bal
ance on unpaid stock amount
ing to over $4,000. The valua-
ton of fair ground and equip
ment is now placed at $4,000,
with an Indebtedness of $1,000.
The shareholders now number
225 and the stock sold amounts
to $4,000. These figures show
that, under the management of
unusually efficient officers the
Association has grown rapidly
and is in an excellent financial
condition.
The present directors were re-
elected, the nine members of the
board being John Colville, Geo.
Phillips, Frank Hubbard, NJ. w.
Dennistoun, C. V. Everett, r.
Stensvad, A. G. Dolliff, And. D.
Stewart and C. A. Luscher. The
Board organized with the same
officers as formerly: R. Stems
vad, Pres, Geo. Phillips, Vice
Pres, c. V. Everett, Sec, and
&c. A. Luscher, Treas. A. C. De-
lift will continue to serve as
Supt. of Speed and F. G. Hub
bard as Advertising Manager.
In recognition of the splendid
service of the President Of the
Association, and of the work of
the Speed Supt., these men were
voted the sums Of 500 and $50
respectively, as a partial pay
ment for the work done for the
1916 fair. The usual sums were
also allowed the secretary and
treasurer for their services. In
all cases the sums allowed were
wholly Inadequate to recompense
the men for the time spent from
their private affairs, for various
motor trips taken by them in
the interests of the association,
etc. With the growth Of the
Redwood County Association and
the increased work done by the
officers it will undoubtedly be-
come necessary to arrange for
suitable remuneration if good
men are to be kept in Office.
The delegates elected to rep
resent the county at the state
meeting of fair associations are
F. G.. Hubbard, R. Stensvad and
M. w. Dennistoun.

ter a few days illness. Death
was caused by diptheria which
developed from badly affected
throat, only about two days be-
fore her death.
A short funeral service was
