Mayor Proclaims
Education Week.

seThe week of Dec. A to 10 has
been designated as Education
week under the auspices of the
National Education association
and the American Legion.
.aThe future Of our great coun-
try lies in the hands of our fu-
ture voters our school children
and in order to build a firm
foundation, it is necessary that a
proper spirit of patriotism be in
culcated in them during the per-
iod of their attendance in our
schools. The moulding Of their
minds must be such as to enable
them to grasp the fundamental
requisites of good citizenship
and an ardent desire to further
the welfare of our country must
be created in them, by their
teachers, along the lines of Am
ericanization.
"I urge that during the course
of this week a great deal Of at
'tention be given to American his
tory and patriotic topics in the
schools and homes of Redwood
Falls.
Il further urge that all of our
citizens join in an effort to kindle
a spirit Of cooperation in the
creation of a desire on the part
of young and oldfor better educ
|ational facilities, and especially
a knowledge Of the history OF
America and great Americans. "

Schmidt Trial
On At Olivia
Work of Selecting Jury in Per-
jury Case Started
Yesterday.

The trial Of Auditor A. O..
Schmidt for perjury began yes
,terday morning at Olivia. The
state is represented by Assist
ant Attorney General Pratt and
the defendant by Attorneys D.
F. Nordstrom of Olivia, John A.
DalzelI of Morton and NJ. G.
O'Donnell of Minneapolis.
The trial is the first Of four
indictments returned by the
grand jury two weeks ago
against the county auditor. Fri
ends of the auditor are making
a claim Of persecution instead
of prosecution, while the state
claims to have the goods on the
auditor in all four cases. The
result of the first trial is awaited
with interest by the people OF
Renville county, regardless OF
political affliation.
Mr.. Shcmidt was under fire for
.incompetency in office, but so far
the Governor has rendered no
decision evidently taking the
position that Renville county can
wash her own soiled linen in dis
trict court without putting the
buck up to him. If found guilty
on any Of the four indictments,
the auditor will be removed from
office, and a new auditor appoint
ed. AS to the charge of persecu-
tion, it requires evidence to se-
cure indictments before a grand
jury and the auditor will now be
given a chance to clear himself
in ourtFairfax Standard.

Howard RcelcCted
Farm Bureau Chief


James II. Howard, Iowa farm
er, is beginning his third term
as president Of the American
Farm Bureau federation. He
was unanimously reelected BY
delegates from all over the Unit
d States assembled in the annu-
al national convention Of the or
ganization in Atlanta, Ga.
@. F. Bradfute, Ohio farmer,
was reelected vice-president.
One of the outstanding fea-
lures Of the convention was the
report Of the national legislative
department, which declared that
the American Farm Bureau fed
erations and county bureaus, had
been chiefly instrumental, IN
getting passed, during the last
session Of congress, more agri-
cultural legislation than has
been passed by any other con-
gress since the gavel fell for the
first American congress-.
Henry G. Wallace, secretary of
agriculture, and Senator w. S.
Kenyon, chairman of the senate
agricultural ebloc", we're among
prominent speakers on the con-
vention program.
Accepting his reelection as
president, Mr.. Howard pledged
the American Farm Bureau fed
to the ''barn-door view
point" as its guide in every
policy.
'I have had one place to go to
study whatever problems have
come up before me in serving my
fellow farmers, he said, Il have
looked at every problem as It
might affect me back on that
farm. In other words, ! have
every national problem
from my own barn-door back
home. I shall continue to do
that.
sThere is no problem in this
nation that does not apply to
every farmer, and there is no es-
sential differences in our envir-
onments. The finest thing about
the American Farm Bureau fed
the inspiring thing, IS
that it has brought together the
different elements Of our nation
al agriculture as no other orgarii-
zation ever has. The east knows
the west and the north knows
the south, and the bond OF NUT
ual sympathy is helping us to put
over a great piece Of work.
1.-THE everlasting cooperation
and stick-together that have
brought us thus far on our way
are going to take us-the rest OF
the way. / consider that the
next few years are going to be
the greatest years in American
history, provided the leadership
Of the nation and when | speak
Of the leadership of the nation I
refer both to political organiza-
tions and to such organizations
as our own is constructive and
not destructive and is for the
benefit of all the people and not a
selfish leadership.
when grass overruns the
farms Of America, it will also
grow in the streets of the towns
Of America. The people Of the
cities are beginning to realize
that. / believe there is better
feeling toward agriculture than
there ever was in this country
before.

HIGH HONORS WON BY
U. OF |. SHOW HERD

The University of Idaho dairy herd
made an exceptionally fine showing

breeds this year, according to Ray F.

young classes there were from 10 to
II entries.

of Hollywood, A. H. Reilly of Spokane
and the University of Idaho. All the
above are recognized among the lead
ing breeders of dairy cattle in the

In the male classes Matador Violet
Idaho was made senior and grand

ite carried off the championship in

class and class of cows two years old
and under three. The herd took

the university also made an excep-
tionally fine record, taking first place
in the graded herd, get of sire and
produce of cow, and third place in ex-
hibitors young herd and breeders
calf herd
Much credit is due to Charles E.
Gabby, the university dairy herdsman,
for the excellent showing made by the
herd at Spokane. From Spokane the
dairy herd will be shipped to Lewis
ton, where it will be on exhibition
during the lewiston Charleston fair,
September 19 to "a.

FORTY-F|vE YEAR GROUND
ON RANDALL FARM GOES So

Manager H. C. Stivers of the
Whlte-Dulaney company, in addition
to the remarkable record made at the
Patterson farms of SO pounds test on
each, for wheat, told Saturday of an
other record by Alfred Randall. The
farm in question has been growing
wheat for As years on 200 acres.
Hauling to the company has been
made on 100 acres and these had an
average of 40 bushels to the acre and
tested 90 pounds of the Walla variety.
The other 100 acres on the Randall
farm went thirty-six bushels to
the acre and also tested sixty-three
pounds. The wonder is that with
Manager Stivers says there went SO
bushels to the acre and also tested
90 pounds. The wonder is that with
a farm growing wheat for 45 years
that such record should be possible.
1t speaks highly Of cultivation, and
methods of renewing the fertility of
the soil. Alfred Randall, he adds, is
a careful conscientious farmer, and
his record establishes the high opinion
the company has of his prowess.
The White-Dulaney warehouse here
showed both ends closely filled with
bulging sacks of golden grain. The
highest day was 5000 bushels and the
helpers are kept on the jump.

TROY SCHOOLS OPEN
WITH GOOD ASSEMBLY
MAY HAVE TO SUPPLY ACCOM-
MODATIONS FOR MORE-ARE
In FINE SHAPE.

The Troy schools opened on sched-
ule time Monday morning and all OF
the teachers, with the exception Of
Mrs. McPherron, were ready to begin
their work, says the Troy News. She
has been confined to her home by
sickness during the past two weeks
and the teachers are substituting for
her until such time as she is able to
take up her work. The attendance
was fully up to expectations in all Of
the grades and 80 began work in the
high school. In addition to these, Is
as the harvest season is over, and
many of them will be on hand next
Monday morning. 1t will be neces-
sary to crowd more seats into the
assembly room of the high school,
creating an OvercrOwded condition
because of the lack of more rooms
for the work. Just how this problem
will be solved ultimately is not yet
known. | nthe grades the teachers
noted a considerable number who
have not yet enrolled who will be on
hand in few days and the prospects
are that all of the rooms will be well
filled.
Regarding the school census which
is being taken the paper says the
same will be finished by September
20. Seth Wilson, teacher of manual
training, will have charge of the ath-
letics, and from the looks of those
eligible bunch of young huskies
will be on the basket ball squad.
Last year the boys put up some good
games, while not making as big a |
showing in winning as some other
schools. This year there is reason
% believe that if they can find a suit
able floor for practice they will win
games consistently. By next week
Supt. McPherron expects the work
Will be running smoothly and he will
'e able to tell the public more Of the
outlook for the year.
