Mary Ellen Schmid

Little Mary Ellen Schmid, the three
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Schnid passed away at the Red
wood Falls hospital Sunday evening.
Death was caused by hemorhage of
the bowels. The little girl and her
six year old sister had both been op-
Grated upon for bad tonsils Sunday
morning and whether this operation
had any connection with the trouble
which caused her death it is difficult
for the attending physicians to say.
Funeral service will be held at Spring
field Tuesday morning and interment
made there in the cemetery where
saveral members of the family of the
child's family are buried. Mr.. Schmid,
who was called here from his home
at Orfno, Idaho, last week by the
death of his mother, Mrs. Schmid, of
Springfield, is now in the Redwood
Falls hospital recovering from an op-
Grafton for appendicitis. Mrs. Schmid
and her little daughters arrived sew
eral weeks ago from Idaho and have
baen guests Of Mr.. and Mrs. n. F.
Dripps and of her mother, Mrs. Yack-
el. Mr.. and Mrs. 6chmid resided for
several years at Milroy before going
west and they have many friends in
both Redwood and Brown Counties
who are sincerely sorry that this great
sorrow has come to them.

ONE DAY SALE OF SAVINGS
BONDS EMPHASIZES GOVERN
MENTS THRIFT CAMPAIGN

Reports received at the War Saw
ings Organization headquarters of the
Ninth Federal District in Minneap-
oils Indicate that the governments
campaign for the tone day" sale Of
Savings bonds" throughout the dis.
trict on October 9th, will, if anythin:
exceed the government estimates.
On this day sales will be made Of
the recently authorized 500 and ST.
900 treasury certificates and as these
certificates bear interest amounting
to ABB per cent and are free from
state and federal taxes they are ex-
pected to be popular as an investment,
to say nothing Of the patriotic angle
Of inculcating thrift BY means of their
purchase.
If those who can will respond to
the opportunity presented by the gov
ernment on October 6th, said NJ. E.
Harrison, director of the Ninth Dis
trict War Savings Organization, our
present effort to emphasize the para
mount necessity of national thrift
will not have been In vain.
what is particularly to the point
Is that as soon as the mighty mass
Of common people realize that it is
mistake to spend their money un-
wisely; that by denying themselves
hundred and one things which they
could happily get along without and
putting the money thus saved into
substantial securities, as soon as this
IS done the demand for many articles
of every day expense will decrease and
the moment that there is an equitable
adjustment between supply and de-
mand, the props will have been knocked
from our unwelcome visitor who has
been decidedly obnoxious as result
Of the H. G. Of Living. So you
see that by making The October 9Th
sale an Overwhelming success, you are
helping to bring about revision
downward Of the present high prices. Z
While the October 9Th drive carries
with It no allotment and there j. no
fixed total to be raised, many COM
munities are proceeding along much
the same lines a. marked the various

ganizations are handling the sales

tions, the War Savings workers are

GROSS RECEIPTS FOR FIVE DAYS
I TOTAL SIS, 10000; BIGGEST
IN HISTORY
WEDNESDAY, BIGGEST DAY
ENTERTAINMENTS AND EXHIG-
ITS. MAKE BIG COMBINATION
FOR VISITORS

The 1919 Redwood County fair sea-
son closed last Friday night, after
five days Of the best fair the county
has over known. Exhibits, attractions,
races and all the other necessary fac
tors to successful fair were superior
to even the very excellent fairs OF the
last few years. and the large crowds
which crowded the grounds each day
testified to the reputation the faI-
of others years have made.
Tie total attendance III s year was
36.371 and the total gross receipts
SIS 100000. Wednesday was the big
uest day and the attendance was II
|0rO. The total receipts for the 1918
event were approximately So 10000
and Redwood County thought that was
pretty good big fair at that. The
extra day is, in the opinion Of the
management, a paying proposition and
well worth the extra work 1t entalled.
Exhibits were the best in many
wears. including stock, corn, grains
and the products Of the women exhi-
bitors. While the sewing exhibit was
not so large as it was In former years
before the war, it was considerably
larger than last year and the quality
of the work was excellent. The cooked
and canned foods exhibit was the
largest in wears and was voted by the
Judge, Mrs Shepard, as one OF the
best she had seen anywhere IN the
state. Corn and grains were also
plentiful and of good quality, although
vegetables. with the exception OF po-
tatoes were not as many as IN former
wears. Exhibits Of cattle were very
GOOD bs1ts horses were not exhibited IN
snv great numbers. Space does not

exhibits. but it is the intention OF the

The free attractions were better TINS
YEAR than ever before and eight COM

Afternoons and evening. These cou

entertainment. "A special feature thlf
