Rams Has Winner

When Billy End 65213 walked into
the show ring at Des- Moines, Iowa,
against a class of $50 of the best SEN
ior yearling Chester White boars in
the breed from all parts of nine
states, his owner. A. P. Rams, thought
there was a small chance of getting
a ribbon, but after the judge worked
for an hour he awarded to Mr.. Rams
animal the honor of fourth prize.
This was the Grand Champion boar
of North Dakota. w. C. Smith of
Melbourne, Iowa. purchased him for
81 $4,000. Mr.. Rams had a standing
offer of $1,000, after the North Da-
kota fair. from Kelly Bros, at De
Smet, S. D. This boar will be deliv-
cred after the Redwood county fair.
Mr.. Rams has his animals on ex-
hibition at the Minnesota State Fair
this week. His friends are glad to
see him make such a fine showing to
date.-Springfeld Press.

A Redwood Falls lady who

A Redwood Falls lady who
was driving on the road west of
the city Sunday evening was hit
by an apple thrown by some I'M
known person and the results of
such a careless act might have
been most disastrous. Fortu-
nately the apple struck her body
rather than her face where her
glasses might have led to seri-
Gus consequences. Even more
serious consequences might have
resulted had the apple hit her
husband who was driving; in the
latter case every occupant in
the car might have been injured
seriously. Such carelessness on
the part of any one who feels in
spired to toss an apple into space
is little short of criminal. With
a car going at a fair rate of
speed and an apple thrown with
a high degree of force some one
is pretty apt to be hurt by the
impact.

Bank Has Sale

The Farmers State Bank of Red
wood Falls announces that it will sell
ffty-two head of dairy cows at pub
lie auction Saturday afternoon, Sep
TENDER Is. The sale will be held at
the stock pavilion. at the county fair
grounds. This is an innovation in
the banking industry and an expert
ment which will be watched with
considerable interest by the people
of the community. W. w. White,
the president of the bank. has be-
come much interested in the move
ment to awaken a greater interest
in the dairying business in this sec
ton of the state and has selected
what he judges are the best from
several good herds of Holstein and
Guernseys. Mr.. White admits that
he hopes to advertise his bank in
directly through this sale, and that
he trusts he will not lose money by
this venture. But greater than eth
Ell of these motives is the desire to
provide the farmers of this section
with the kind of cows which they
will need as. they progress in the
dairying business. Minnesota has al
ready gone to the head of the class
III dairying-even out-classing her
old rival. Wisconsin. Farmers have
intimated their desire to get cows of
the right type to further dairying in
this vicinity and Mr.. White believes
they are sincere about this. There
fore he is confident that the sale next
Saturday Will be successful.
