~ INTEREST ON PART OF
PARENTS.

The schools of Redwood County
made record for themselves at the
Redwood County fair this year which
exceeds anything that has been doEe
I'M the past. Adella G. Pratt, Super
Entendent of County Schools, says
THAI the quality of ali exhibits far
mer years and the fact that some of
the school were displaying less in
quantity than usual is owing entirely
to the fact that schools throughout
the County have been busy all year
with Junior Red Cross work. The in
terest shown by both children and
parents this year was remarkably in
creased over that of former years,
and the judges from the state depart
ment who were in charge of the var
ious contests remarked that the in
terest manifested was greater than
that shown at any of the other fairs
they had visited this year.
The bread baking and canning con-
tests were under the direction of AL
berta C. Gustafson of the Boys and
Girls Club Dept. of the State Uni
versity Demonstrations were given
in the industrial building each day
and the Redwood Falls team gave a
demonstration before the grandstand
Thursday evening. This demonstra
ton was watched appreciatively by
large audience
