Books For Soldiers

At the request of the United

convenient places: The Public

lar or more are to be sent direct
ly to the Public Library.

ing by Gladys Eykyn Of Lam
berton, the state champion bread
maker, and the canning demon
strations by the Redwood Falls
canning club. Both exhibitions
attracted large numbers of inter-
ested spectators. The display of
articles made in the manual
| training and sewing departments
of all the schools in the county
are deserving of much common
| dation.
This year the fair attracted
some unusually good exhibits by
the dealers in various lines in
and about Redwood Falls and
machinery row attracted a full
quota of visitors. This year also
two of the merchants, Farrell &
Keefe and Jaehning Brothers
erected permanent buildings
which were a most excellent fea-
ture. Some of the other displays
Of machinery including the fine
line shown by Jackson Brothers
are worthy Of special buildings
and it is probable more will be
built next year.
The entertainment features of
both the day and night shows
were excellent, some of the best
races ever seen in this section OF
the state forming the chief at
ternoon attraction. Fireworks,
vaudeville performances and
dances attracted the evening
crowds. Through no fault of the
management, the Pike was not
so amusing as usual this year,
the merry-go-round and several
accompanying shows failing to
appear as they had guaranteed.
Excellent music was furnished
by the bands of Belview, Lam
berton and Redwood Falls, and
the whistling Of Miss Ellen Horn
both at the grandstand and in
the exhibit hall proved one of
the most attractive features of
| the fair.
The gross receipts of the en-
tire four days will reach the $8,-
900 mark and the attendance ex-
ceeded 1900 in the last three
days. Just what the net receipts
will be has not been ascertained,
the expenses being heavy, as any
who attended could easily judge
from the excellence of the en-
tertainment, etc.
