Don't Swap Tickets

Season tickets to the Redwood Coun-
ty Fair are not transferable! Neither
are concession tickets! There is a
rather stiff and undeniable little law
covering that very thing and visitors
at the fair will sure be wise to use
each his own ticket and to be very
sure that nobody else uses it. On
former occasions there have been in
stances where one ticket was made to
serve two or more members Of the
same family by the simple little de-
vice of sending it back by someone
who was returning from the grounds
after the real owner Of the ticket had
been admitted. This year anyone who
aims to beat the Association by a
contemplate little trick of that sort
will most probably find himself sma *
up against some real trouble. The
Association has made arrangements
whereby it can protect itself in this
matter and it intends to do so. A
word to those who need the warning
should be enough.

DELHI BOY IN CANADIAN ARMY
WRITES FATHER, GEO. LES
LIE, FROM FRANCE
France, August 10, 1918

France, August 1S, 1918.
Dear Father
Haven't heard from you for quite
long time 50 have come to the con-
clusion that one or two of your let
tiers must have gone astroy. In fact,
| have received very little mail late
ly.
This is Sunday and its trying very
hard to rain. We have had such q
long spell Of good weather up until
today. The trouble with this country
is when it starts to rain it never
knows just when to stop. Do you
know that it is just 4:30 a. m. Rath-
er queer time to begin letter isn't
it. But for the past few days we have
been sleeping, eating marching and
fighting at every old hour in the day
and night 80 our regular time sche-
dule for all these things has been
rather upset.
Well, we have been strafing old
Fritz the past week and strafed him
as he was never strafed before. We
simply walked right through him
and into his back yard. Talk about
souveniers-I have got a nice little
UullCll, duSdI AuCOiildClC plSCOl
Magnetic Compass, pair of the best
Binoculars obtainable in Germany
watches and a bunch of small stuff
such as cigarette cases, rings Ger
man money etc. Now it is impossi-
BILE to send any more of this stuff out
of the country as it is forbidden and
ali outgoing parcels are examined, SO
shall just have to sell it out here
to some Of the bomb-proofers down
the line. I'll send you home made
German ring though and some Of his
paper money. That will be all can
get through.
Say, there is nothing more thrilling
or exciting than scrap provided you
come out all right. The first day with
the aid of the cavalry and few tanks
we chased him some few miles. The
second day we started chasing him
again but he had brought up hundred
of machine guns so our progress was
slower. 1t took us six hours to go

the Y. w. G. A., Raymond D. Fosdick,
chairman of the Commission on train

Gently.
II have no hesitation in saying
that the work Of the War Depart

environment Of our army camps would
suffer considerably if it were not for
the splendid efforts Of the Young
Christian Association. Your positive
work with young girls in the neigh

contributed materially to the really
creditable condition which now exists. .

Reflections Are Few

The Local Board has received the
following letter from the office of
Provost Marshall Crowder; "The
State of Minnesota is to be congra-
tulated on having percentage of re-
iections which is well below the aver
age Of the country" Further infor-
Provost Marshall Crowder; "Tae
nation states that the percentage of
reflections from mobilization camps
for the entire country is 5.83 per cent
from Minnesota 3.17 per cent and
that there are but eight states hav-
ing lower per centage.
The Redwood Falls Board is also
notified that the local percentage is
considerably lower than that Of sthe
state. This speaks well for the eff
cheney and carefulness of the physi-
clans doing the work of examination.

For Bond Sale
REDWOOD COUNTY'S SHARE IN
FOURTH BOND WILL BE ST.
100000.
WORTH $4,000, 900
DISTRICT COMMITTEES WILL
DECIDE ON METHOD FOR
| EACH LOCALITY.

The Executive Committee for the
Fourth Liberty Sale in Redwood Coun-
ty held a most enthusiastic and sat
lsfactory meeting at Wabasso last
Tuesday afternoon and in spite of
bad weather practically every man of
the committee was there and well pre-
pared with information necessary to
doing his share of the immense work
OF fixing the bond allotments for the
sale which is now to be taken care of.
The United State will raise SIX
Bir3ns of Dollars in this sale ana
the share Of Redwood County is ST.
100000. While this seems like a
large amount it is really not exnorbi-
tant for county having a net worth
of FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS. The
individual allotments will be based
on basis of 2 1-2 per cent of the net
worth of each individual and it was
the determination of these net worths
that chiefly concerned the committee
at the Tuesday meeting. Statements
prepared by individuals of the commit
tee were carefully studied and re-
vlsed by the committee as a whole and
a fair valuation Of each persons pro-
perty made.
Chairman J. P. Cooper Of the Ex-,
ecutive Committee announces that
just how each district will raise it's
allotment is left to the decision of each
district committee. 1t may be found
advisable in the country district to
use the soliciting method, thereby
saving the time of farmers and 9TH
ers who might otherwise have to leave
their work to go to their banks to
learn their allotment and to give their
signature. By this method the soli-
citors will canvas the district, meet
ing each man at his own home. In
the towns in may be found wiser to
ask each man to. call at his bank,
find out what his allotment is and
arrange it's payment. The district

To the people of Redwood
County

JOuIlGy
The Fourth Liberty Loan
Campaign will open in Red
wood County on the morning
of the 18th of September and
will continue until every allot-
ment for bonds has been met.
Various committees through
out the County have been bu-
silly engaged in collecting in
formation as to each persons
bond-buying ability and in
making the individual allot-
ments and preparing the nee
essary records. Everyone will
be given an opportunity to be
heard if the allotment made
is claimed to be unfair. How
ever, before a revision of an
allotment can be had the per-
son objecting will be required
to sign a written statement,
under oath, as to his proper
ty and the value of it. To
secure uniform fairness will
at all times be the earnest de-
sire of each committee making
allotments. Each local cam
paign committee will have a
list of the individual allot-
ments on September 28th, and
all who are 100 per cent Am
erican citizens will make their.
subscriptions promptly.

Miss Shepherd
PleaSeS Audience
REDWOOD FALLS PEOPLE HEAR
INTERESTING RECITAL AT
ARMORY SAT. EVENING

Probably a number of people who
attended the recital given Saturday
night by Miss Betsy Lane Shepherd
and Miss Dorothy Hoyle at the Armo-
ry were at first puzzled and disap-
pointed when they discovered pho
nograph cabinet occupying the cen
ter of the stage. They felt that they
had been beguiled into going to hear
a charming singer and a clever vi
olinist and naturally thought that
they had been imposed upon.
They hardly were treasured when
Mr.. Stinchfield appeared on the stage
and commenced to talk about ere
production" Recreation" and other
like matter. It finally became ap-
parent that the monograph was at
least to receive assistance from the
singer but even then the mental out
look was not exactly bright. Mr.,
Stinchfield explained that the pur-
pose Of the recital was to illustrate
that Thomas A. Edison, after years
of work had achieved his ideal to
perfect a musical instrument which
would actually Re-Create music Sc
perfectly that the Recreation would
be indistinguishable from the origi-
nal.
This was broad claim but it was
established before the evening was
over for Miss Shepherd actually stood
beside the New Edison Photograph
and sang in unison with Mr.. Edison's
Re-Creation-so called-of her own
voice. This would have proved little as
her voice might easily have over
balanced the tone of the instrument
swallowed it up-so to speak; but
Miss Shepherd did more-or, to be &C
curate, less. She paused from time
to time, apparently at random and
permitted her He-Created voice to
be heard alone. This gave an OPP
portunity to compare one with the
other and it is no more than just to
state that there was no discerna-
BILE difference in tone quality.
There must have been a slight diff
ference in volume when Miss Shep-
herd stopped singing but it was not
noticeable for the voice which came
from the cabinet was round and luc-
ious with all Of the vibrant, pulsating
quality of that which came directly
from Miss Shepherds throat. It was
only watching the singers lips that
one could be sure when she sang and
when she did not.
Miss Hoyle offered similar compa-
risons with her instrument playing in
direct comparison with the Re-Crea-
ton Of her own performance. This
proof was very convincing. The pro-
gram also included Re-Creations Of
a piano solo, delightful number by
q concert orchestra. Thus all, types
Of musical sound were heard.
Music such as Mr.. Edison has Civ
en- to the world is especially graft
flying and inspiring in these war times
and it is interesting to know that
thousands Of New Edisons, especially
encased in durable field cabinets have
been furnished to the boys in camp
and cover there" without profit to
Mr.. Edison.
The recital was arranged by H. M.

Looks Promising
NASH PUTTING LOCAL
BOYS THROUGH STIFF TRAIN
ING. FIRST GAME SOON.

The Redwood Falls Team will claim
the football championship this year is
the prediction made by c. Nash princi-
pal of the High School and coach OF
the football squad. Mr.. Nash comes
from the home of foot ball in the East
and was in his time shining star in
the game.
The boys are put through some
pretty stiff drills each afternoon and
from the results thus far attained
the prospects of winning against
Sleepy Eye next week look excep-
tionally promising.
Wilbur Lamberton who has been
honored by being the captain of the
squad is getting up his old style speed
and tactics and is working hard to
put snap and ginger into his men
Lester Schultz Full back) has gain
ed in weight since last year and
judging from his work behind the
serum, it seems nothing will stop
him from going over the top when the
times come.
Lawrence Wells fright guard) is
suffering from blood poisoning in
the right hand, yet he is on the jot
with the rest of the gang. Lawrence
is determined to smash every line
that confronts him. Douglas Stewart
fright half) and Earl Scott cleft half
are doing splendid work. They are
both speedy and quick to understand
the play. Fred Melges (center) il
in good trim; in fact, the whole front
line consist of excellent material
While the right end still remains
open, it is thought that Ted Peast
will fill the position. Robert Pryor
will play right tackle, Clair Haucl
left end, Earl Lewis left tackle, anc
Willard Whittet left guard.
There is keen rivalry in the sec
ond team to get into the first squad
and unless the men in the first squac
keep on the job they are very likely
to find their places filled by the
younger blood.
