First to Fight
itor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: DO you think that the inhabitants OF
our fair city know that the first to fight"
regiment is of New York's own
The nth Railway Engineers were the first
American volunteers in France, the first to
night (gong into action at Cambrai with the
British in November. 1910 and the first to
sufer serious casualties. They have seen
more active service than any other New
YORK regiment, and have distinguished
themselves innumcrable times.
Aren't these boys entitled to a reception
such as was given to the boys of the 10Th
Infantry and the 9th Division?
What is the Mayors famous committee
going to do about it?

DON'T DIVIDE MINNESOTA.

Albert Lea Tribune: Just because
the Bendixen tonnage tax law has
passed. Minneapolis lawmakers and
the north part Of the state want to
make two states Of the Old North
Star. IL this comes to pass Albert
Lea is going to be capital of the south
half and when Minneapolis and St.
Paul do not have the Southern Min
nesota sources to draw from, they un-
doubtedly will wish they had pulled
for Minnesota Of today.
If Burt May will glance at map
Of Minnesota he will soon become con-
yinced Of the fact that st. Paul and
Minneapolis are IN Southern Mime
sota-very much oand TO the north
Of these cities is vast empire which
Is yet practically undeveloped and its
riches are still under the sod. Years
from now when this wealth Is uncov-
cred, Minnesota will be listed as the
greatest state in the Union. There
Is not going to be any state division.
There IS no necessity Of such thing.
The Redwood gazette., 1919-10-01

Minnesota must remain intact. The
people in Southern Minnesota are go
ing to recognize the great value that
Northern Minnesota is to the whole
state and those in Northern Mime
sofa will recognize in Southern Min
nesota a valuable asset to the COM
monwealth. State division will be lost
sight of in the broad scheme Of de-
veloping the resources Of the COM
monwealth and making the state a
larger factor in handling the affairs
of the United States. The North Star
State is going to shine out more bril-
liant than Mankato Free Press.

Did YOU stop to think, as you went through the
school exhibit, as you watched the girls OF the
bread clubs and the canning clubs at their various
and neat duties, as you looked at the well fed and
well groomed calves and pigs raised by the boys
and girls of the calf and pig clubs, that all this
work was possible because one woman stood back
ST the BOYS and girls of the county, got them
started, encouraged them to go till the work
was finished and then led them to show what they
had done in order that other boys and girls might
be encouraged to improve their work? Did you
stop to think that, because of Adella q. Pratt
and the men and women whom she is leading II
the work of the schools of the county, the Red
wood County boys and girls have statewide
reputation for doing splendid work, that the
Judges who judged these various kinds Of WORK
last week were emphatic in their statements that
the work could not be rivaled by any county IN
The state? We admit. Mrs Pratt has wonderfully
fine assistants in the members of the teaching
fraternity of the county and in County Agent +
T. French but that in no sense detracts from the
credit due her as the beginner of many splendid
things for the youth. Some Of US ordinary NOR
tails can very successfully inspire others to start
a work, but it takes real genius and unlimited
perseverance tact and good management to lead
those same others on to the fulfllment of the
purpose for which they started. Redwood Coun-
ty owes Mrs. Pratt real debt which can never
be paid save by the gratitude of faithful and
appreciative people Mrs. Pratt has been wonder
fully successful in many things, but she has never
done anything that will count for more for Red
wood County and the state at large than in hes
carrying the Boys and Girls Club work so straight
through its pioneer, days into the present assured
place it has in the county's enterprises. We COM
pliment Mrs. Pratt upon the wonderful success
of her achievement, but much more than that DO
we congratulate ourselves and every other resi-
dent of the county upon having her as worker

who would dare dispute such corn and chicken
authority as the man from North Redwood. Next

and care for the splendid poultry exhibit. In our
opinion he IS perfectly justified in demanding it
and here's hoping he gets it.

We have never seen so many good things alto
gether in one place as was shown in the pantry
and kitchen division There were pies and cakes
n everything and not even the dust which would
blow on the top Of the show cases in spite Of the
ladies' in charge could make them look anything
but Just agood enough to eat" One Of the super
intendents Of this division, who has served for
many years, states that the enthusiasm and CO.
operation this year was greater than it has been
for many seasons past Certainly the display
was great credit to the women of the vicinity
and they have every reason to be proud Of it. Mrs
Shepard Of the State University, who has judged
this display for several years, suggests that next
year it viii be well for such arrangements as are
necessary to be made IN order that the Judge may
lecture as she Judges giving reasons for her decl-
sions about the merits Of the various articles.
This should be Of great help not only to the per-
son making the article, but to al other exhibi-
tors as we'll It should also be means of quiet
ing any adverse criticism upon the work Of tae
Judge. It Is possible that such arrangements can
be made and highly desirable that they should be.
Half the value ii the stock judging lies IN having
the judge point out the merits and denerits which
count ii his decision and this factor should be
worth quite as much to the women producers Is

irwin Cobb took about column Of space IN the

Irwin could have been with Us at the lf-judging

Cooper and Aleck Dennistoun stopped right N

an extended conversation, covering everything
from politics to peanuts. When the attention of
the gentlemen was called to what they were 90

Of said calf, shutting of more Of such vision. We

Once upon time the Honorable President Of
the Redwood County Agricultural Society went
down to Minneapolis to tell other county fair men
how to put on a real fair. One of the things ne
stated according to the printed report Of his talk

County fair is a mighty well advertised event,

and were SO thoroughly equipped with the neces-

o. p. B. jacobson and the men at the Grain
Commission booth sounded forceful warning to
the farmers of this vicinity concerning the pur-
chase of the socalled Russian Durham. Mr.. Ja-
cobson stated, without reservation that the wheat
IS Of very inferior milling quality, that it has
no highly desirable qualities to its credit and that
the price of five dollars perIbushel, at which it is
being speddled0 through the country, is absurd,
as the Commission can supply it at a much lower
rate per bushel It will be as well for farmers
to remember this advice and before purchasing
this seed from over-enthusastic statesmen, to con-
suit the Grain Commission concerning the wisdom
of sowing it, the price which should be paid for
seed and the probable selling price of the grain
at the mills

Did you notice the styles for pig valets which
were established by that fraternity during the
fair? The colors varied from dark blues and
browns to the lighter shades Of the same color
but the cut Of the suits was uniform, with straps
over the shoulders, pockets in profusion, many
metal buttons taking the place Of the shingle
nails of former seasons and the material was m
variably denim After hours, when the occupants
Of the Millionaire Row just back Of the stock pa
vilion we're asleep for the night, the valets ap-
peared in the orthodox business suits, but dur
ing their hours Of service these were doffed for
the more business-like uniform mentioned above.

That man Metcalf is good sport! He showed
some mighty fine Chester Whites, and when some
of them weren't quite good enough to take the
prizes from the other fellows, he just smiled
bit and said, well, I'll take that fellow home,
see what I can do with him and bring him back
next year. That's the spirit which is not only
going to keep Redwood County in the front ranks
as pig growing territory but it IS also the spirit
which makes the fair management sure that the
stock barns are going to be full each year. It's
4 selfish, spineless creature who won't exhibit
unless he is sure Of big number Of prizes. Met
calf isn't that kind! Watch those seconds OF his
grow up to firsts next year.
