132 Orphans IS
County's Share
QUOTA IN NATIONWIDE DRIVE
70 HELP FAMINE SUFFERERS
IS 5,53s BUSHELS.

Redwood county's quota in the ma
tionwide drive launched to save the
lives of children now facing death by
starvation IN southern Russia and
Armenia is 541 bushels Of wheat and
1895 bushels Of corn. N. w. Cobleigh
has, been appointed county chairman
of the Near East Grain Committee,
and has accepted the appointment.
1872 of the $500 orphans assigned
to Minnesota for food and clothing
depend on the generosity Of the citi-
zens Of Redwood county for their
lives, according to j. M. Davies, state
director for the Near East Relief.
Practically every elevator in the
state is helping to collect the 147,O00
bushels of grain set as Minnesota's s
share Of the 100000 bushels being
gathered as the gift of American far
mers. Minnesota farmers may turn
their gifts over to their local elevator
when they haul in their usual loads Of
grain for sale. Nearly every elevator
has agreed to receive, store and load
the gift grain free of charge. The
first gifts began coming in last week.
I'VE have been informed by our
workers abroad that unless Minnesota
provides food for $500 helpless boys
and girls this winter, they will perish
Of hunger" Mr.. Davies says. Every
child among the $500 for whom Min
nesota fails to provide is doomed to
die. We dare not fail.

Sohueuer Car
Damaged by Fire
FORMER REDWOOD FALLS BOY
SAYS HE'S HooDoo TO DADS
BIG CAR.

Leo and Joseph Schueller, Anton
Ochs, Jr., and VIM. julius, Jr., were
bent upon days hunting pleasure
in the Cambria vicinity Sunday, and
that morning drove in the Schueller
big seven passenger Mitchell to near
the Evan Hughes farm, where the car
was parked and the boys went out af-
ter their bag.
The curtains were all up, it being
cold. Nothing was thought of leaving
the car while the game was stalked.
After being out an hour or longer,
Leo Schueller noticed smoke emanat-
ing from the machine. The boys
made double quick time to the boat
and were chagrined to find that the
fire had gained such headWay that it
was i4npossible to extinguish the
blaze.
The fire started in the rear seat and
coats left IN the car, while the boys
were tramping about in search OF
game, were burned. Everything about
the car that was infiammable was
burned. The machine was stripped OF
the seats, cushions, and all wood.
The party is at loss to know, how
the fire originated, but it might have
been started by cigarette dropped
in the clothing.
The car is damaged considerably
but the loss is covered by insurance
4 It was pulled into New Ulnl Monday
afternoon and placed in the Schueller
garage. Repairs will be made as soon
as possible.
Leo says that he is a hoodoo to the
car. It will be remembered that last
summer the car was damaged in ar
accident, while he was driving. Two
axles have broken this season, while
he was at the wheel, and this last
mishap is about enough, he states.

SPRINGFIELD LEGION VS.. RED
WOOD FALLS LEGION ON
REDWOOD FAILS GRID.
BENEFIT GAME.
NET PROCEEDS TO BE GIVEN TO
! SALVATION ARMY FUND; BIG
CROWD EXPECTED.

The American Legion has always a
tender place in its memories for the
things the Salvation Army did for the
boys over across. That is why the
local Legion members have offered to

by the officers and members of the
Melvin Daskam Post who have work
ing with them all citizens who are in
terested in the Salvation Army APP
peal. Business houses will be asked
to close during the afternoon of the
ttwenty-seventh and the townspeople
asked to give the boys all possible CO.
operation in making the day a big
success. It is probable that the City
Appeal Committee, headed by Mayor
VIM. M. Smith, will arrange for some
other features to make the days pro-
gram interesting. These plans will be
announced within a few days.
Redwood County has as it's quota
for the Salvation Army Fund twenty
one hundred dollars which it hopes to
raise to assist the Army in the carry
ing on Of its splendid work. Various
localities are taking various methods
Of raising this money and portion
of Redwood Falls money will be rais-
ed by the Legion in this way. An
admission fee Of fifty cents for adults
and twenty-five cents for children will
be charged. Every one is asked to
assist in making the benefit as big a
success as possible,

Wins
from Appleton
SCORE OF 20 TO IS RESULT OF
SUNDAY GAME. NEW PRA-
CUE GAME NEXT.

The American Legion Football team
took the fast Appleton eleven into
camp on the local field Sunday by a
score Of 40 to O. It was nice warm
day and a large crowd was on hand
to see the Redwood eleven avenge
their defeat of the previous week.
Appleton came to Redwood Falls with
a collection of victories, which they
have accumulated the past two sea-
sons, backing them up, but were un-
able to do much against the home
bunch. They put up good hard fight
and were game until the last whistle
blew
Redwood won the toss and received
the kickoff on their twenty-five yard
line, and with a series of line bucks
and forward passes went over the line
for touchdown in the first few
minutes play. The score was well
divided, three touchdowns coming in
the first half and three touchdowns in
the last half. Only once was Apple
ton in good stricking distance of their
goal, but were held for downs. The
Redwood Falls team worked excellent,
except for the heat which slowed both
teams up somewhat. Next Sunday
the Redwood team will go to New Pra-
que to meet the Legion Team of that
place. Line up: Left end, Wilbur
Lamberton, tackle, Wallace Stewart,
guard, Warren Brant and Walter Has
senstab, center, Walter King, right
guard, Robert Fuller, Frank Welch,
right tackle, Art Corcoran, right end,
John Mason and Walter Cummings,

vim Mason and Ira Rogers, right half

Premium List to
Appear Next Week.

The list Of premium winners at the
1921 Redwood County Fair will be
published IN the October 26 issue OF
the Gazette. The list is an extreme
" long one this year and it has taken
longer than the publishers anticipated
to get the list into type. The total
amount paid out in premiums for the
year is about three thousand, eighty
dollars, which is much larger than for
any previous year. A comparison Of
premiums offered by Redwood County
with those offered by the surrounding
counties shows that the Redwood
County exhibitor is given the advant-
age Of much higher premiums than
are offered by other counties. It may
be necessary, because Of the length of
the list, to publish it in two install
ments instead of all in one issue.

Agri. Society in
Annual Meeting
STOCKHOLDERS ELECT NEW OF.
FICERs AND PREPARE FOR AN
OTHER YEAR OF SUCCESS.

The stockholders of the Redwood
County Agricultural Society met in
annual session Friday afternoon with
the largest attendance in the history
of the Society. So large was the
meeting that it was found necessary
to adjourn from the Commercial Club
rooms to the Armory. President Rud
Stensvad presided. The first business
of the meeting was the reading Of the
report of the financial status of the
Society by Sec. C. V. Everett. The
bylaws were also amended, upon the
recommendation of the president,
authorizing the election of three direc-
tors each year instead of nine, thus
making it possible to at all times have
some of the old members of the Board
continue in service until new members
grow thoroughly conversant with the
work.
At the request Of the local American
Legion Post about sixty stockholders
had petitioned for the repeal OF the
action taken at the last meeting OF the
Society, prohibiting Sunday football
games on the fair grounds. Counter
petitions and communications were
read following the reading of the petit
ton upon which action was to be
taken, discussion followed and the
vote Of the stockholders was then
taken, eighty-four voting to grant the
Legion the privilege of using the
grounds for football games. The
negative votes numbered twenty three.
At the instigation of the Board OF
Directors whose term expired with
this meeting, all salaries with the ex-
ception of that of the secretary were
cut fifty per cent. The officers gener-
ously took this action against their
own salaries because Of the condition
of the times and the shortage OF
money in the Society's treasury.
The last business to claim the at
tention Of the meeting was the cleo
ton of the new board of directors
Several Of the old members most earn
estly requested to be released from
further work as officers and the noml-
mating committee took heed of their
requests in naming the new directors
BY acclamation M. w. Dennistoun, G.
{. Crocker, and Geo. Phillips were
elected for the one year term, w. A.
Hauck, Peter Mckay and F. G. Hub
bard for the two year term and A. T,
Rams, c.. A. Luscher and Thos Hoskens
for the. three year term.
The retiring members of the Board
are Rud Stensvad, C..sV. Everett, A.
C. Dolliff and d. M. Tiffany who have
given long and faithful service to the
Society. Through the efforts OF these
men and their associates Redwood

Farm Home Burned.

Andrew Hansen of Brookville lost
his large farm residence and contents
by fire early Tuesday morning. Prac-
tically nothing was saved. Most .of
the family were in bed when the fire
started and had to escape as best they
could One of the boys started the
fire in the kitchen stove, and it is re-
ported that he accidently used gaso-
line instead of kerosene in starting
the fire and the flames enveloped the
kitchen so quickly that it was impossi-
Bile to fight the fire. We have not
learned how much insurance Mr.. Han
sen carried but at best the loss is a
heavy one and the loss of the home
at this season comes at very mop

The first number of the lecture
course season was given Wednesday
evening of last week when the Mont
ague Opera Company entertained a
large audience by one of the best
musical programs ever given in the
city. The company consisted of four
musicians who were artists as well as
the possessors of pleasing personali-
ties and the program was bright,
amusing and cleverly given. Miss
Montague was especially pleasing in
both her musical numbers and her
readings and proved a great favorite.
The last half of the program was de-
voted to the giving of bit of light
opera of colonial times in which the
quartet was very pleasing. The sec
ond number Of the course will be the
lecture Of DIR. Preston Bradley which
will be given Wednesday evening,
November 80. Since there are still
four numbers to be given in the course
those wishing to attend will find it
more economical to purchase season
tickets at $1.25 than to pay so cents

Ex-DOUGHBOYS RISK LIVES TO
 AID SCIENCE.

Chicago, April 14.-Twelve form CT service men today sat looking out of the window at Mccormick Institute of Infectious Diseases.
 They glanced nervously at a door that would admit a white aproned surgeon with a S1,00O check in one hand and swab full of virulent scarlet fever germs in the other. All 12 had volunteered to submit to tests of the germs. Two famous pathologists had called for offers in order to discover a serum to prevent the ravages of scarlet fever, of which the medical profession knows little. For each man selected the physicians agreed to pay S1,000. Three of the 12 were chosen today and the germs placed in their throats. If they show no signs of the fever within a week, others will undergo the test.
 The 12 doughboys curled theil lips at the suggestion of death.
 "Been out of job since Jan. uary," said one.
 The physicians would have pre-. ferred children as subjects, but s child is not responsible and cannot give it's consent to an experiment that might result in death, SC healthy young men, who never have had scarlet fever have been chosen

SEEKING WOMAN WHO WANTS
 TO SELL BABY.

Oklahoma City, Okla, April 13. Efforts to find the woman who last Saturday entered the office of a daily newspaper here and asked the boy at telephone switchboard if she could insert an advertise ment to sell her 16-month-old child for $500 have been unavailing, re- porters and police officers said. The boy refused the advertisement, he said, fearing that it would be against the policy of the paper to accept it.
 Her advertisement application, which he saved, read:
 "Wanted-To sell a 16-month-old baby in good health; mother unable to support baby and needing mon ey-$500."
 He's the finest baby in the world, but can't afford to keep him" the boy said the woman told him.
