Donald McNaughton

Donald McNaughton died at
the home Of his son, David Nc
Naughton, Monday evening at
eight o'clock. Death was due
to the weakness of old age, Mr..
McNaughton being past ninety
two years Of age. Funeral ser
vices will be held at the house at
two O'Clock Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. McNaughton was born in
Scotland January, 1926, and in
1858, while still living in Scot
land, he was married to Marga-
ret Gowdy. Later the family
came to America, settling at
Chatham, Ontario, Can, coming
to the United States in later
years. Mrs. McNaughton died
in June 1894 and since that time
Mr.. McNaughton has made his
home with his children.
The surviving children are his
daughters, Margaret, Agnes and
Mary, who are all married and
live at Chatham, Thomas, living
at Marden, Manitoba, David Of
Redwood Falls, and Coll of Jo-
let, I'll. "A son and a daughter

John Cummings

John Cummings, one Of the
patriarchs of Redwood County,
died very suddenly at his home
near Delhi Monday morning, Oc-
tober 4. Death was due to apo
plexy and was probably hast
ened by over-exertion, Mr.. Cum
mings having just been assist
ing his, son with getting some
unruly stock under control. He
dropped in the yard and was dead
before his son reached his side.
Mr.. Cummings was in his usual
good health last week and was a
visitor at the Redwood County
fair, an event which he always
enjoyed with as much gusto as
a much younger man.
John Cummings was born in
January, 1925, at Completion,
Scotland, and would have been
ninety-tWo years of age last
January. He was married in
Scotland in 1852 to Miss isabelle
Stewart. Sixty years ago he and
his wife, with the eldest son,
came to Ontario, Canada, NOV
ing from there to Illinois, then
to Wabasha County, Mimi, and
about forty years ago coming to
his present home near Delhi.
Nine children were born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Cummings, seven
of whom, with their mot sur
vive him. These children are
Robert, of Cottonwood, Annie Of
Delhi, Hugh of Spokane, Mrs. w.
E. Burr of Colorado, and Donald,
Isabel and Margaret at the old
home at Delhi.
Mr.. Cummings was a veteran
of the Civil War and most high
" respected citizen Of the COM
munity in which he had lived for
so many years. In spite Of his
great age he had kept in touch
with all the events Of the world
as well as with the smaller hap
penings of his own sphere, was
always both an influential and
useful citizen of his community,
and one that will be greatly
missed.

Chief Gives Notice

Fire Chlef Joe COrbett is again
trying to impress upon. the minds
of all residents in Redwood Falls
the stern, necessity Of taking
more precaution to prevent fires.
Since the first notice was given
that there must be no more burn
ing of paper or rubbish in streets
or allies in the business section,
six complaints of such fires have
been made every fire a real
menace. Mr.. Corbett repeats
his notice and states that offend
ers in this respect will be pun
ished. He also calls the atten-
ton Of the public to the large
cans which have been placed
throughout the business section
for fruit skins, waste paper, etc.
These cans are not being used
and several complaints have been
made of paper being permitted
to blow about the streets. This
must be stopped at once.
Mr.. Corbett is in receipt of a
letter from the State Safety
Commission urging him to strict
" enforce all measures for fire
prevention and to insist upon
the utmost precaution in having
all rubbish and co1nbustible ma
terial taken care of properly.
There are many evidences
throughout the state that plans
have been made, by enemies of
the country, to destroy eleva-
tors, mills, grocery stores and
other sources Of food supply and
Of course fire is the easiest meth
cd for doing this. Therefore
leave nothing about your prem
Uses that will serve to help or
hide the miscreant should a fire
occur and insist that your neigh
Dor shall be equally careful. Mr..
Corbett is everlastingly and eter-
nally ION the job" and is deserv-
ing Of the best the town can give
him in support and cooperation.

MR.. McKAY'S OFFER

PeterMcKay, prominent Short
horn breeder Of Redwood Coun-
ty, offers a most excellent prize
to be given at the next county
fair to the boy who is interested
in Shorthorns cattle. For the
best calf herd consisting Of bull,
calf and two heifer calves all un-
der one year, Mr.. Mckay offers
a Shorthorn calf of either sex,
the value Of the prize not to be
less than 500 nor to exceed
5000. Any boy under twenty
one years Of age is eligible to
compete for this prize and ne
must have his calves well enough
trained SO that he can lead two
of them into the ring himself.
Mr.. Mckay is hopeful that men
interested in other breeds OF
cattle will duplicate his offer and
he also suggests that perhaps
the Association may see the WIS
dom in offering premium fo1
a calf herd Of any beef breed to
Compete with the Shorthorn. OF
course, Mr.. Mckay is quite con-
fident in his own mind Of Just
what would become of such 2
premium, but he is undoubtedly
right in thinking that this Of
fering Of premiums to boys is
the best possible way to awaken
interest in better stock for Red
wood County.

Football Fans
to See Good Sport
Schedule States Five Games Will
Be Played At Home; Big
Game Thanksgiving

The schedule for the 1917 foot
ball season for the Redwood high
school has been completed and
offers to local fans the best slate
for home games in recent years.
The season began September %
with a ragged game with New
Ulm. The local boys showed a
very great need of more prac-
tice but came out with the long
end Of the score to their credit.
September 20 was an open date,
a rest date after the strenuous
week Of the fair. The boys have
been busy since the opening of
this week getting ready for the
heavy work Of October.
Next. Saturday, October 6, the
team travels to Sleepy Eye. The
Sleepy Eye team is somewhat of
a problem as their main support
is the Kleinschmidt brothers who
almost played havoc with the To-
cal team last year. Saturday,
October Is, Redwood goes to
Renville. Renville last year took
the laurels from Redwood by
a score of Z to 0, at the big
Thanksgiving game. Redwood is
expecting to turn the tables this
year.
The next home game will be
with Glencoe at the fair grounds
November 2 or 8. This will bring
a new contender for football hon
ors to the local field. What sort
Of team Glencoe has, what sort
of football it plays is more or
less Of a conjecture, as the two
schools have not met in recent
years. We are sure of good
game, however.
The Mankato game is played
here this year. Mankato always
gives Redwood one of the best
games Of the season. Local fans
are fortunate in having that
game at home.
To date November II is still
open, but in view of the heavy
schedule, it may be wise to keep
it open in order to give the team
rest for the two games which
follow. November "a the Madi-
son game is to~be played at Madi-
son. This is always a hard
fought game.
The final game of the season
and the one in which Redwood
will take keenest interest is the
Thanksgiving Day game with
Marshall. Local fans will re-
member the severe drubbing
Redwood received at the hands
lof Marshall last year. Reports
have it that Marshall has 9
strong team this year and will
push the local team very hard
Redwood is still smarting under
that defeat and will make the
Thanksgiving game q fitting
close for the seasons schedule.
| Altogether there will be five
Of the best games played al
home. The season surely mer'
it's the support Of all fans.

Opens Oct. 18th
McPhail Orchestral Choir Opens
Best Series Redwood Falls
Has Had in Many Years
GET TICKETS NOW
Six Big Numbers Selected By
Committee; MOntaville Flow
ers One of Them

One of the best lecture course
programs that Redwood Falls
has ever had will open at the
armory Tuesday evening, Octo-
Der Is, with full evenings pro-
gram by the McPhail orchestra
with Martha Cook, soprano SOLO
list. j. C. Ryan, who is manag-
ing the course for the CONNER
cial Club under whose auspices
it is given, made the statement
to the Gazette that this was
very expensive course, the COM
mittee having selected the best
material available, and in order
| that the plan for furnishing the.
city with high class entertain
ment shall work out well, the
attendance must be large and
everyone must take an interest
in making it a success. Tickets
will sell for $l.00, the same as
last year, with a 1O-cent fee for
each seat reservation made.
Tickets will be sold at both drug
stores, at the Lauterbach store,
or they may be obtained of any
member of the Lyceum commit
| tee. It is much desired that
they be purchased as soon as
possible.
The McPhail Orchestral Choir
which opens the season, includes
nine musicians, nearly all of
them former players with the
Symphony Orchestras of Mime
apolis and st. Paul, under the
leadership of VIM. McPhail, di-
rector Of the McPhail school of
music at Minneapolis. A program
| of twelve numbers, including
solos by Miss Martha Cook, is
given, presenting the best in
musical literature as only real
artists can present it.
The numbers following the Nc
Phail program are The Oxford
Company, which comes Novem-
her II, Montaville Flowers, one
of Americas foremost lecturers
and great favorite in Redwood
Falls who comes December 10,
The Apollo Concert Company ap-
pearing February Ii, S. H. Clark,
the dramtic interpreter from
| the University Of Chicago who
is here January 9, and the Uni
versity Lyceum Players who
come March A truly a remark
able seasons program for a re-
markably small price.
Mr.. Ryan states emphatically
THAT all numbers will begin
/ promptly at 8::15 o'clock and re-
quests that every member OF
the audience make it point to
lbe seated before that time, in
order that each program may
start at the appointed time.
Redwood Falls audiences have q
universally bad reputation with
public speakers and entertainers

thine set for the opening number

Iunpleasantness on the part OF

Redwood County
Has Biggest Fair
Fifteen Thousand People on
Grounds; Receipts Reach
$8,O00; All Satisfied
RACES ALL GOOD
Exhibits of Farm Stock And
Produce Much Admired; Spleen
. did School Display

1t has been given to but few
counties, in this section of the
state this fall, to give their fairs
under such favorable conditions
and with so great success as Red
wood County met with last week.
With four days of almost per-
feet weather, the largest crowd
Redwood County has ever had,
and the biggest receipts, the
1917 fair easily stands first in
the ranks of the splendid fairs
for which Redwood County is
famous.
All exhibits were excellent in
both quality and quantity. The
splendid displays of corn of all
varieties was positive proof that
Redwood County was one Of the
few spots where early frosts did
no damage, and displays of 9TH
er farm produce were equally
good.
Just what it is possible for
(. farms to produce was shown to
the best advantage in the beau
tiful display of the Willow Grove
Farmers Club of North Hero
township. The booth arranged
by this Club was not only most
attractively displayed, making
one of the most interesting ex-
hibits of the fair, but it con-
tanned a bewildering number of
products of both household and
farm, including grains, vege-
tables, grasses, canned goods,
fruits, sewing and fancy work
articles, etc., in an amazing dis
play. The exhibitors Of this
display are entitled to the warm
gratitude of all who had the OPP
portunity Of seeing it. Next year
the management hopes to have
five or six club exhibits from
various sections Of the county.
The articles of sewing, fancy
work, ETC., were not so numer-
GUS this year as formerly, but
were excellent in quality. The
displays of canned goods and
cooked fods was also excellent.
Another interesting display in
the exhibit hall was the display
of bead work and lace made by
the Indians at the Whipple Mis-
sion. This work was a revela-
ton to many who had small rea-
lization of the work done by the
women Of the Lower Sioux
Agency under the direction Of
Miss Salisbury, who is to be
greatly credited for having in
terested the women in this work,
Space is too limited to make
more than the most casual sum-
mary of the splendid show OF
farm animals. While the horse
stable was not so well filed as
formerly, all the animals shown
were good and received much
favorable comment. In the cat
tie barns the prize herds Of
Brown Swiss, Shorthorns, P0lled
1 Angus and Holstein were all on
I display, looking fine and well fl
| and attracting much attention
1 from the stockmen present. The

Dear Friend:
Up your way the last days
races of the biggest and best
county fair in Minnesota" have
had an hours start at least by
the program. Here at 2:15 this
troop special is racing almost at
double time down the valley
of the Missouri, Somewhere in
Nebraska" with Kansas line
close at hand, and Kansas City
four hours away. Topographic
ally speaking this country over
which we are passing, is not I'M
like familiar Minnesota prairie
and river bottom land; there is
noticeable difference, however,
in the ripened appearance of corn
fields and in the undragged, UNI
graded and ungraveled roads.
That was a scorking send-of
That monster crowd gave us yes
terday. We hadn't expected an
easy get-away-such things
shouldn't come easy. But it was
much different than our leaving
for the Mexican border service
last year and many of the tsvet-
Grams" Of that occasion COM
mented that we left under less
strain this time than we had
anticipated. Other companies in
the regiment make similar re-
ports. At that no one has held
that home folks were not as
deeply stirred or concerned over
our departure; the expressions
have been rather that it is the
bigness, seriousness and worth
whileness that has caused people
to suppress their feelings with a
grim restraint, and bid us good
bye with ringing cheers. We
have most greatly appreciated
such a farewell.
Our train attached to itself
