Redwood County
AT the State Fair
BLOODED CATTLE EXHIBIT is
NOW BEING ARRANGED
FOR BY COMMITTEE.

A committee consisting of Peter Nc
Kay, of Delhi, Joseph Montgomery, of
the agricultural college and Max Treu
of the Redwood Co. Farm Bureau, are
now canvassing the country for the
purpose of getting a full blooded cattle
exhibit at the Minnesota State Fair.
These men are hustlers, and they are
determined to put Redwood County on
the may as breeders of full blooded
stock Heretofore the county has been
poorly represented along these lines,
being confined to individual exhibi-
tions. This year an organized effort
is being made to make the exhibit one
that will command attention and re-
spect and be worthy of the county's
vast resources.
1t is now conceded that Redwood
with giant strides as breeders of full
blooded stock, not only in cattle but
hogs also. During the past year the
breeders here have held sales that
commanded the attention of buyers
from almost every state in the union.
Grades and scrubs are being weeded
out. Farmers everywhere are awak-
ening to the fact that it costs very
little more to iced biooded stock than
it does for grades, and the difference
in price is enormous.
This county should manage to put
on rafting good exhibit at the state
fair this year. 1t would not only be a
good advertising feature for the coun-
ty as a whole, but eventually bring
good returns to the individuals taking
part in the exhibit The county has
the cattle and all it needs is little
organization to stimulate ambition
and pride in pushing themselves to the
front.
We hope the committee that is now
touring the county meets with sue
cess. 1t will be mighty fine stroke
of enterprise to put before the people
of this state one of the finest exhibi-
tions of cattle ever seen, all contain
ing the Redwood County brand

Clashes In ireland
Steadily increases
GENERAL CONFLAGRATION"
FEARED AS NUMBER OF CROWN
TROOPS IN ISLAND GROWS.

Fears that the Irish situation, which
is daily growing more tense, may
burst into a general conflagration at
any moment are expressed in respon
sible quarters here.
At the present there is virtually no
civil law south of the Boyne river ex-
cept that administered by Republican
courts, but it is pointed out that each
day finds the balance between mill
tary and revolutionary rule growing
more equal.
1t is estimated there are between
10000 and $4,000 fully equipped Brit
ish soldiers in Ireland, and they are
being reinforced daily by men arriving
from across the channel. AS result,
there are more frequent and more
stubborn battles between the troops
and the republican volunteers, who for
time had things much their own way
There also have been more arrests
for carrying arms and seditious liter
ature as reports to courts-martlal
show. 1t is expected the number OF
these arrests will increase if the gov
ernment succeeds in carrying its
drastic measures" in the House OF
the Commons next week
Reprisals by policemen and soldiers
on villages suspected of harboring
men responsible for attacks against
the armed forces of the crown also
are expected here, the police being
particularly aroused over the attacks
made on their fellow members. In the
meantime, the Sim Feiners, in carry
ing on their campaign, virtually have
cleared the country of barracks. They
are now turning their attention te
country houses where military forces
might be housed, and a number OF
these have been burned in the last
ten days.
Attacks on coast guard stations for
the purpose of capturing explosives
have been stopped, it having been es-
tablished that this practice was i'm
periling the lives of seamen, who
could not be warned of marine dan
ger except by these guards.
Homes of coast guards are not inn
mune, however, and number of these
have lately received attention. In fact
it is commented, nothing in Ireland
that might either be used against the
republican movement or that might as
sist it is safe at present.

THE SANBORN SENTINEL SEEMS
TO THINK THEIR DOOM
is FORTHCOMING.

The w. A. Hauck store, one of the
oldest and largest business institu-
tions of Seaforth, closed its doors for
good last Saturday evening, having
gone out of business. The Seaforth
Item is also offered for sale, and will
probably suspend unless business con-
ditions take a decided change in the
near future Many business places in
small towns all over the country are
going out of business, and il the lack
of community spirit and knocking of
the small town which has been so pre-
valent the past few years continues, 1t
will be only a matter of time, when
many small towns will be wiped of
the map entirely. 1t is true that the
farmer can get along without the
small town to certain extent. With
good state roads in the summe" he
can easily run to the larger town to
do his shopping, but there are times
of the year, when the farmer cannot
get to the larger town on account of
weather and other conditions, and
these are times of the year when he
pays the price, and pays dearly for
the non-support of the small town.
This fact is not easily recognized by
the average person while the smali
town is in existence, but take away
the town, and imagine yourself send
ing so miles for a doctor or other en-
ergent necessities in zero weather with
six feet of snow, and the facts will
strike home and strike hard. Knock
ing the home town does not hurt the
town as much as the surrounding
country. The average business man
today can readily go out of business
and make a better and easier living
by working for salary with less
grief and possibility. To boycott
business institution because of some
petty difference, political or other
wise, not only hurts the town, but
does a damage to the community
which oftentimes cannot be repaired

Necessities Show
Continued Drop
CASH WHEAT REGISTERS SPEC
TABULAR DECLINE, FALLING .
10 CENTS MORE IN MPLS.

Prices of food and clothing are actu-
ally coming down, and if a satisfactory
solution can be found for the fuel
problem, the country will soon begin
to find itself on solid ground once
more.
Wheat, cotton, dressed pork, cloth
ing (men's,) shoes and other necessi-
ties, have all dropped in price more
or less.
Cash wheat, which fell 10 cents more
today in Minneapolis, selling at $40
to S2.35 for different grades, shows
the most spectacular drop of all COM
n1odities 1t went off SO cents during
the week, losing Is to 25 cents Satur-
day alone.
Flour has dropped so cents a barrel
since July 80, and was quoted at $12.-
35 in Minneapolis.
Oats, rye and other small grains al
so showed signs of collapse, following
the action of cash wheat.
Dressed pork is $2.O21a per- 100
pounds cheaper than it was a week
ago. Short ribs tumbled 821ac in the
same period.
Potatoes were being sold by farmers
to commission men today at $2.25 to
$3.50 hundred pounds, approximate
ly $1.5O a bushel Two weeks ago
prices were $3.50 and S. bushel.
Stores which charged 10 cents to 12
cents pound for potatoes, or approx
imately $6 bushel two weeks ago, are
retailing them today at from 81 to
1925 bushel. Lard has fallen to "a
cents a pound This year it has sold
as high as 38 cents.
Sugar, for which one had to beg the
privilege Of buying half pound at a
time less than month ago at 20 and
80 cents a pound, now is plentiful at
% to 25 cents.
Another sensational and significant
drop is shown in cotton, which fell off
az to So points in Saturdays trading.
This will be of great benefit to con-
sumers and foreshadows cheaper white
goods, but if the drop continues it will
produce harmful financial reaction
throughout the south, as planters who
have obtained big loans in advance of
their crops must meet these loans.
The cause for the drop in cotton
is the latest estimate which foresees a
crop exceeding 15,O00,000 bales, or s.
100000 bales more than early esti-
mate This would fill all export or
ders and leave more than an ample
surplus for domestic consumption.

REDWOOD MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY,
Army Worms Busy
Eating Up Crops
THEY ARE SMALL IN SIZE BUT
POSSESS ENORMOUS
APPETITES.

The army worm is busy in the fields
destroying crops. There had been
some scattering reports of the army
worm at work, for a few days but it
was not until Monday or Tuesday that
it was found that the worm was a
menace to the crops.
The oat fields seem to be favor
ite place although they work in any
green field. From small grain they go
into the corn. One field of corn on
rather small corn, has been ruined by
the worms. Others have also discov-
cred that they have gone from the
grain into their corn. If that be-
comes a general thing it will be a SER
ious menace to the corn crop. When
the army worm is through field
looks as though a hail storm has
struck it. They strip the stalk.
The worms are from an inch to two
inches long and about as thick as a
slate pencil. They work mornings and
evenings, and seem to disappear dur
ing the day but can be seen at work
about sunset.
Where the army worm is at work
in the grain next to a corn field pre-
vention is the best if not only practi-
cal remedy. County Agent Treu adj
vices the blowing of several deep fur
rows around field to protect it max
ing as high bank as possible with
the furroW next to the infested field.
Openings or trenches are made every
SO often where poisoned mash can be
placed. The prescription can be Sc
cured at the drug store,
The worms seem to come over night,
work few days and disappear. I'm
less kept out of the corn fields they
will do immense damage. They do
not seem to attack ripe fields very
much, SO damage to small grain will
not be as great as would have been the
case a week earlier. Morgan Messen-
ger.

Beats Maynard
THE GAME WAS VERY INTEREST
NG.-THE SCORE BEING
TO /.

A large crowd of fans gathered at
the fair grounds Sunday afternoon to
witness the ball game between Red
wood and Maynard. The home team
was in its usual good form, and with
Tieg and Gutenberg as the battery
they had no difficulty in holding May
nard to one run. The game really
should have been a shut out, but ac-
cidents will happen.
Maynard had several near chances
to score but they failed TO do good
execution with the willow. Tieg SEEM
ed to have no difficulty in putting the
pill just where he wanted to, and he
pitched mastery game of ball. The
new man on third held down the sack
very good and the fans thought the
change was an Improvement.
The infield was also working in good
order throughout the entire game, and
they played alright ball. There was
very little work in the gardens, as
Maynard's heavy hitters failed to hit
| Tieg's offerings with telling effect.
| Both of the jumps did a creditable job,
| as their DECISIONS were accepted by
| both mines as eminently fair.
The Marshall Game.
Last Thursdays game between Mar
shall and Redwood on the local
grounds was won by the former, the
score being 10 to O. Marshall stuck
| in Rook, their crack pitcher, and his
reputation as a curve artist got the
local mines goat from the very begin
ming Also several bad errors caus-
ed the locals to lose heart after the
first few innings.
Marshall came here to win and they
did it very neatly. Some of the fans
were disgusted with the poor exhi-
bition made and left early in the game.
Others seemed to think that the local
bunch were hypnotized and were un-
able to see the ball. However, the
Marshall battery was good one and
it takes lots of good playing and pep
to beat them.
From the moment jumps called play
| ball, the locals simply marched to the
plate and back "Ole," however went
to bat undaunted and got two hits.
| Every team is bound to have an off
day, and it was Redwood's day to lose.
AS a result, the Marshall fans took
back with them considerable kale and
were greatly elated at the outcome
1t isn't likely that the home nine will
ever again be guilty Of playing such a
weak game of ball.
Next Sundays game will be staged
at Montevideo, being a return game.
| This is going TO be game that the
! fans will enjoy.

Former Sheriff IS
: Given Two Years
JAQUES FAILS TO OPPOSE MOVE
FOR DELAY, BUT JUDGE
OYERRULES 1T.
Oscar Martinson, formerly sheriff

Oscar Martinson, formerly sheriff
Hennepin county, was sentenced to
20 years in federal penitentiary at
..vrt Leavenworth; Mike Weisman and
Saul p Goldberg to one year and six
months Imprisonment and $1,000 fine
each; Frank Bank and David Posnick
to year and day Imprisonment
each, and Harry Isaacs to pay fine
of $4,000.
Sentences were imposed by United
States District Judge Page Morris on
the six men who had pleaded guilty in
the Winnipeg Minneapolis whisky con-
spiracy, in which originally 13 men
were indicted. Four of the other cas-
es were dismissed by the government
and the remaining three will be dispos-
ed of in October.
Despite his physical condition, when
Oscar Martinson received sentence, he
bore up very we'll. His wife, who had
been shocked by the sentence, fell into
,nsole her.
rhe court turned deaf ear to pleas
deferring sentence until the Hen
in county grand jury completes its
.s.u. estigation into charges growing out
on the whisky conspiracy.
"The state courts have had more
than a month to use as witnesses any
and all of the persons now before this
bar for sentence" said Judge Morris.
81 have been asked to defer and defer.
shall brook no further delay"
Alfred Jaques, United States district
attorney, entered no objection to the
delay asked by E. S. Cary, counsel for
Mike Weisman, but when the court ex-
pressed a desire to impose sentence
William Anderson assistant United
States district attorney, moved for
sentence.
After the attorneys all had made
statements in behalf of their clients
and Alfred Jaques, United States dis
trict attorney, had told the court what
great help the government had re-
ceived from Mike Weisman, Saul P.
Goldberg and Harry Isaacs the court
called all the defendants to the bar.

Potatoes in Danger
of the Late Blight

A warning to Minnesota Potato
growers to be on the lookout for late
blight, the most destructive leaf dis
ease of potatoes, is being sent out by
A. G. Tolaas, chief potato instructor.
Ar. Tolaas says that the blight can
be controlled by proper spraying with
a $3.50 bordeaux mixture, but that
it is necessary to begin spraying as
soon as the blight appears-or even
before, if one wishes to be insured
against the disease and that the
vines should be kept covered with the
spray solution until the end of the
growing season.

NO PAVING CITY
STREETS THIS FALL

It has been practically decided that
the city would abandon the idea of
paving the streets and installing the
white way for the present. 1t is now
possible that the city council will get
busy and have some repair work down,
as the city streets are in holly
condition. Heretofore the city has
wisely decided not to spend any mon
ey for this purpose in view of the fact
that paving was to be done, but the
members of the council now realize
that something must be done and at
once.

IF BUT one afternoon frock might be
i allowed In a wardrobe, we would
find most women selecting black or
dark blue satin as the material for
making it. Every experienced wom-
an knows a frock of this kind to be
the most useful thing in her posses
sion and every year designers inter-
pref the new styles In a variety of
ways, using plain black or blue satin
with the certain knowledge that the
frocks will please. Foulards in black
or dark color with white figures or in
other color combinations which have
been selected for illustration here,
are both good examples of afternoon
frocks made in these popular fabrics,
and each has something new to recon-
mend 1t. The black has body cut in
kimono style with round neck and
short sleeves. The skirt is set onto
this body with wide tuck and is gath
cred at the hips where it is shaped
