Citizens Desire
Summer Races
Committee Finds Business Men
Give Enthusiastic Support to
Midsummer Meet

The committee Of business
men appointed by Pres. Ira Rey-
nolds of the Commercial Clue
to convass the town to ascertain
the sentiment of the business
people as to the suggested mid
summer race meet, made a par
tial canvass last week and met
with unqualified approval to the
scheme. Nearly fifty names were
subscribed in the two hours the
men were out and at least half
as many have given their verbal
promise. Each name added to
the subscription list carries with
it promise to assume a part
Of the financial responsibility.
While it is expected that the
races will more than pay their
own expenses, it is necessary
that a certain amount be guar
anteed before the project is
started. The committee met with
no opposition whatever.
The plan of the Commercial
Club is to have the races at the
fair grounds in connection with
and as the big feature Of
a Fourth Of July celebration. The
city has not had such celebra-
ton for several years and the
present years seems a most op-
perfume time. It is probable that
the racing program will be given
two days, either July 3 and 4,
or July and 5.

Fair Directors
Hold a Meeting
Make New Plans
Announce Dates of 1916 Red
wood County Fair, Revise
Premium List
INCREASE RACE PURSES
Prizes Offered for Individual
Farm Exhibits And for Boys
Pig-GrOwing Contest

The directors of the Redwood
County Agricultural Society held
a meeting at the court house
Wednesday to make some i'm
portant plans for the 1916 Red
wood County Fair which will be
held at the County Fair grounds
September 81, %, 20 and 80.
Premiums Revised
One of the first thing done by
the directors was to go through
the premium list, carefully re-
vising it by both examinations
and additions. So there will be
important changes in the book
this year which will merit the
careful and early attention of
all prospective exhibitors. 1t is
planned by the management to
issue the lists much earlier this
year than ever before and a COM
mittee consisting of F. G. Hub
bard, C. A. Luscher and C. V.
Everett was appointed by the
president to take charge of the
work of getting the books out.
Boys Given Prize
The boys of the County will
be asked to compete in a pig
raising contest and a purse of
thirty dollars was set aside for
prizes. County Agent J. E. Neil
has been instrumental in get
ting this purse and the contest
will be held largely under his
direction.
Farm Exhibits
It was also decided by the
board of directors to offer prizes
for the best exhibits made by
individual farms, these exhibits
to include grains, fruits and
vegetables. A purse of $50 was
set aside for this purpose. 1t is
to be divided as follows: S25 for
the first prize, SIS for the Sec
and and $40 for the third. In
addition to this every farm
which makes an exhibit will be
given $500. This is the first
time prizes have been offered in
Redwood County for individual
farm displays.
Purses Increased
Purses for races have also
been increased, the management
feeling positive that much of the
financial success of past fairs is
directly traceable to the excel
lent races featured. $4,000 will
be given in race purses, divided
as follows: 2::22 pace, $1,000;
2::2O trot, $500; 2:1O pace, $500;
PA pace, $500; 2:18 pace, $500;
2::25 trot, $500; and $500 for
other races including motor
cycles.
Evening Programs
There will also be evening en-
tertainments at the fair grounds
during the fair season, these en-
tertainments featuring the free
attractions and other forms of
entertainment. The committee
having this in charge consists
of F. G.. Hubbard, c ". Everett
and r. Stensvad.

STRONG LEADERS

some of it's generals the United States
would have no easy task in subduing
ats unruly neighbor.
1t must be remembered that Mexico
nas had almost uninterrupted war OF
one kind or another for a period long
er than the American Civil war.
While conscientious American army
officers have been puzzling over maps
and working out problems in military
strategy and tactics, the Mexican gen.
erals have been actually leading large
forces in the field and giving and re-
ceiving blows in the same territory
where they now clash with Uncle
Sans Napoleons. This is an enor-
nous advantage.
In addition, the Mexican military
academy at Chapultepec, near Mexico
City, which is similar to our West
tutions Of this character. In the MeXi-
can war of 1S46-47 the Chapultepec
cadets put up a desperate resistance
to the American invaders on the
grounds of their school. They were
only overcome after nearly all had
been killed or wounded.
So, while the Mexican forces are
badly equipped and lack ammunition
and food supplies, they will in many
asses be as We'll led as the Americans.

Catch the fly" is the slogan of st.
Louis. The pesky things that carry
millions of germs at the end of their
fine fuzZylike toes, or whatever you
sail 'em, are banned by the st. Louis
authorities, and a price has been
placed on the heads of the flies just
as q price is placed on the heads of
stray dogs.
While practically every city, town
and hamlet boasts Of its dog pound,
st. Louis has taken the initiative and
established fly pound. The fly traps
that are located in various parts OF
the city proved the center of attrac-
ton to the Democratic delegates who
were in the Mound City to attend the
national. Democratic convention, and
it is dollars to dOughnuts, that when
they get back home they are going to
follow the example set by st. Louis
and set fly traps in their own home
towns. The trap is huge imitation
of the ordinary fly traps one often
sees in butcher shops At the bottom
there is conical opening, and under
this opening one places piece of suet
or piece of meat. The flies swarm
by the thousands around the bait and
fly up through the opening In the
cone, into the trap from which there
is no escape. The st. Louis traps are
three-story affairs with plenty or
light and air for the flies that like the
free apartments into which they are
invited

Supplied the Brains.

supplied the Brains.
Angeles remained with Villa when
the latter broke with CarranZa. He
contributed largely to many of Villas
victories. Some critics say most of
Villas glory should go to Angeles
that he was the man behind the scenes
and supplied the brains. while Villa
inspired the enthusiasm.
He was Villas minister of war when
Villa had an organized government
and was proposed several times as
provisional president of Mexico. In
this position he could have counted on
the confidence and support of the
United States. But Villa feared An
geles' strength and kept him in sub
ordinate position.
Then Angeles quarreled with villa
over the bloodthirsty and unprincipled
methods of the northern bandit gener-
nj and left him. He did not go over
to the constitutionalists, however, but
sought refuge in the United States.
On March % last he expressed the
opinion at Ell Paso that there would be
war between the United States and
Mexico within 80 days if American
troops remained for that period on
Mexican soil.
"Mexico is powder magazine" said
the veteran general. "A spark will ex-
plode it."
If Obregon remains at Mexico City
70 direct operations from there, actual
charge i'm the field will probably be In
the hands of Francisco Serrono, his
chief of staff. He is another military
man whose worth has been proved In
the series of revolutions and is re
rarded bv American officers as a capa

Obregon's Fame Spreads.

When in the early months of Ma
deros term of office Pascual Orozco
and his "reds" became terror in the
state of chihuahua. Obregon collected
band of 400 Maya Indians and under
the command of Victoriano Huerta,
then a Madero general, went out to
quell the rebellion. In the battle of
Otto. Obregon's men gained for them
selves the title of "Invincibles." His
fame spread. and so many came to
ioin him that he rode home at the
head of an army of 1000.
He was made colonel in the Sonora
state militia, and when Felix Diaz
started the military uprising which re-
shifted in the death of President Ma
dero and the seating of Huerta, Obre-
gon organized 500 Indians and routed
the garrison at Nogaies, which had
gone over to Huerta.
Soon after this Governor Carranza
of Coahuila was declared first chief
of the Constitutionalist army and he
made Obregon general of the army or
the West. while villa became general
of the central army.
1t was the activities of Obregon in
the Vicinity of Mexico City which
forced Huerta TO flee for his life. OBJ
RECON then occupied the capital with
| his troops.
Then came Villas break with Car
rama. Obregon was made Carranza's
chief general and organized the larg-
est army Mexico had yet seen. His
great triumph came at the battle OF
Celaya. where villa was crushed and
| forced to flee.
In this battle Obregon was desper-
ateiy wounded. His right arm was
| amputated a few days later. His ro-
bust constitution resulted in quick re-
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1916-07-14

covery, and he was soon again direct
ing the operations which reduced Villa
to flying bandit leader, at the head
of only handful of cutthrOats.
Six feet tall, Immediately dressed,
smiling and clean-cut, Obregon is a
man well liked by all who come in
contact with him. MexicO's troubles
are due to having too few men like
him.

in the east: General Jacinto Trevino,
commanding in Chihuahua; and Gen.
p. Elias Gales, military governor of
Sonora.
These are all war-seasoned veter-
ans. General Gales has been friend
ly to Americans and has gained
rather high opinion along the border.
He gave his word he would personally
see that American refugees were not
moleSted in their flight out of Mexico.
He will probably try to lead his force
through the mountains to attack the
American expeditiOnary forces from
the west.
1t was General Gales who over
threw Moytorena, the Villa governor
of Sonora Gales is believed to have
$1,000 men under his command.
Carranza himself may take the field,
cans and showing he is with them
heart and soul. He has no military
ability, but has shown sense enough
in previous campaigns not to interfere
with the plans Of Obregon and other
experts.
Obregon is undoubtedly the man of
the hour in Mexico. If he were not
unswervingIy loyal to Carranza he
could seize the reins of government
and become himself dictator. But he
is as true to the bearded first chief as
q good dog is to it's master.
He is unlike most Mexicans, big.
breezy, youthful fellOw-he is only
thirty-nine-whO reminds one more of
an American westerner than of the
sordid, dissolute, brutal type so often
found in high places in the southern
republic.
Like Villa, he is q man brought to
the command of an army without reg
ular military training and rising by
the simple genius he possessed. He
has been called the Cincinnatus of
Mexico.
He comes of an old Sonora family
and is wealthy.
Mexico's troubles found him peace
full farmer, known to but few peO-
pie In Sonora. He aided the revOlu-
ton of Francisco Madero against Por-
firio Diaz in many ways, but did not
take the field.
