Be Big Day Here
Redwood Falls Making Prepar-
alton for Splendid Patriotic
Program and Race Meet.
JUSTICE HALLUM SPEAKS
Program of Fast Races After
Moons of July 4 and 5. Dance
at ArmOry Eve. of July 4.

Redwood Falls is planning the
biggest Fourth of July celebration
ever held in this section Of Mime
sofa, both as patriotic demon
stration of the best American sort,
and a general good time. The
celebration will be held in con-
nection with the race meet held
here July 4 and 5, and exceptional
attractions on the Chautauqua
program are another good reason
why every one in this section of
the state should plan to be in
Redwood Falls for these two days.
July Fourth.
The program of July Fourth
will open with a big industrial
parade in which every business
house will be represented. The
Scenic City band, members of
Company L and the school chill
dren will also take part in this
parade. The committee in charge
of this parade consists Of Geo.
Jaehning, F. Lobdell and O. AISLE
son and they emphatically state
that it is going to be a good one.
Two Good Speakers.
Following the parade there will
be a patriotic program and a flag
raising for which the program
has been tentatively arranged.
Justice Oscar Hallum of the
Supreme Court will give a talk
and Governor Henry A. Buchtel
of Colorado will also talk. 1t is
rare opportunity to hear such
speakers in city the size of Red
wood and certainly a very great
privilege to hear them both in
one day.
Beside these two addresses
there will be songs by a double
quartette, music by the Scenic
City band, and fitting exercises
in connection with the ceremony
Of raising the flag. Mrs. w. G..
Starr has charge Of the flag rails
ing service and Messrs. Sarchet,
Clague and w. III. Gold are in
charge of the remainder of the
mornings program.
Races Next.
Last year the Redwood Driving
club appointed A. D. McRae, G.
A. Schildknecht and r. A. Coop
er to take full charge of the
Midsummer race meet. So eff
GENTLY and effectively did these
men work together, and so salts
factory was the result obtained
that this year they found the
work had been wished on" them
so to speak and they were ap-
pointed to succeed themselves and
do it all over again. They have
been at work arranging the pro-
gram, getting in touch with horse
men ETC., for some time, and be-
heve that the races this year are
going to be even better than those
of last year.

Secretary Schildknecht announc-
es races as follows: 2:15 pace
2: :25 trot; 2:22 pace and 2:35

purses, three heats each race, each
heat a race and 500 each
