COUNTY STOCK RAISERS
WARNED OF SCHEMERS
Shrewd Spectator Replaced By
New Scheme Exposed. By
Registration Board

Every year schemers come out with
some new method of disposing of
questionable pure bred live stock for
breeding purposes at exorbitant pri-
ces to farmers or groups of farmers.
Kandiyohi county has been visited by
these clever statesmen in the past and
will probably be visited again in a
little different form in different city
live stock was disposed of in this
County at twice what they were bot
for from the breeders. They were
sold under a guarantee that no leg
itimate breeder can give. These CON-
panies have row discontinued busi-
ness and gone apparently to new fields
of parts unknown.
The old Stallion. Selling stunt has
long been a common favorite among
these live stock peddlers. The fol-
lowing will be Of interest to breeders
of pure bred live stock and farmers:
'tComplaints have come to the Of
fees of the Stallion Registration
Board at University Farm, st. Paul,
that the old stallion sales company
scheme, dressed in new clothes, is
being worked in various parts of the
state.
BY the new plan the salesman, in
stead of selling shares in the horse,
gets fifty or more farmers to agree
to breed one or two mares at $40 for
three successive years. When the
paper is signed it turns up to be a
straight promissory note for the en-
tire amount of service fees, with in
terest at per cent. Thus the farm
ers are actually paying in advance for
colts yet to be produced. When
enough notes have been secured the
stallion is practically given away to
someone in the neighborhood who is
to assume the so-called contracts by
breeding the mares. By this method
large sum in negotiable paper is Sc
cured for a stallion that might other
wise be bought at moderate figure.
"If any man or association desires
to buy a stallion" says J. F. Kuehn +
the Registration Board, 'the way to
do is to raise the money in advance
and then send "a good horseman to
select an animal for them. In this
way they will get their moneys worth
and at the same time bring in a horse
which will be a credit to the commun-
ity" = .

CLUBS PERFORM
WELL IN 0PEREITA
Amateur Warbler, Sing and Act in
Comic Play Before Splendid
Audience Friday Evening

The Boys and Girls Glee Clubs of
the Willmar High School pleased a
good sized audience at the gymna-
sium Friday evening with their comic
operetta, "The Pennant." Fourteen
members of the two clubs carried out
acting roles while twenty-seven 9TH
ers made up college gatherings, foot
ball team and choruses. Miss Nell
Robbins of the High School faculty
had the cast in charge and did splen-
did and praiseworthy work with it.
Miss Robbins has shown unusual alb
ility in the training and instructing
of choruses and singing organizations.
The plot of the operetta is of the
simple and easily followed type. Jack
Lawson, captain of. a victorious foot
ball team, hero of the story and the
fiancee of the prettiest girl in the
school, was we'll impersonated by
possess the type of voice required for
the prominent role Of leader and hero
his acting was done with credit Dor
tha Coss, as Doris Bond, was clearly
the outstanding player of the cast.
Miss Coss is the possessOr of voice
rich in quality and we'll trained. AL
tho lacking in some degree in strength
she filled her part with excellence.
Elvera Redlund, as Mrs. Grass, wild
ow, appeared with her usual talent in
the art of expression and impersona-
ton. Chester Walin, as Verdant
Green, made hit with the audience.
It wasn't his voice as much as his
conduct and behavior that made the
| impression. AS a green Freshie at
college and popular with the girls,
Chester was very suitable actor for
the role. Reuben Lundquist, as Lord
Woodby Rich, played his character
we'll. His tall, dignified carriage and
drawing voice was typical of the
egotistic English dude.
Roy Wetherby, Comedian" of the
High School. was easily the second,
and some assert the first in order for
compliments in the acting. His char
! acter of the Jewish Peddler was a
most humorous and realistic one. The
gestures of the hands so characteris-
tic of the Israelite, the dialect in
! speaking and the Jewish appearance,
were all co-ordinated in the playing
of Wetherby His appearance in each
scene was greeted with laughter from
the audience as his actions were most
| ludicrous.
| Herbert Sandin, as the football
coach, Harold Ives, as stock broker,
Franklin Jolly, as Mason, Leroy Kirk
patrick as Harding, Lawrence Wig
gins as college musician, Beatrice Eek
wall as Mrs. Bond, Ethel Magnuson
and Lyla, Ruddy as chums Of Doris,
all deserve mention for their acting
and singing. The singing Of Miss Eek
wall was favorably commented upon.
Miss Pearl Johnson who served as
accompanist for the operetta is EMIT
led to commentator for her render
ing of the piano music for the play.
Those who composed the college
chorus and members of the football
team entered into the spirit of their
parts.
The special feature was candle
light drill on the stage. Twenty girls,
holding large lit candles, carried out
an attractive and smoothly executed
series of movements and marches.

~ AKING ribbons out Of the fashion
i world would be like taking flow
ers out Of spring, for they have come
to play an essential part in all the
apparel of women and children. They
have progressed from the field Of dress
accessories to that of dress trimmings
and are now very often included in the
composition Of garments.
Shopping bags and girdles still &C
count for the majority of sales In the
ribbon departments of the shops. Lin
gerie ribbons ard bows also add much
70 the increasing volume Of business
done at the ribbon counters; ribbon
flowers, hair bows and innumerabie
furnishings and accessories make a
continual demand, so that the story
of ribbons is long one-with no end.
The two most important items in the
displays, bags and girdles, are repre-
sented by a few selections pictured
here as a suggestion of the endless
variety of ways in which ribbons are
used for these accessories. The girdle
of narrow ribbon at the left of the

edged ribbon in contrasting color.

GIVE PLENTY OF VEGETABLES
Material Furnished to Growing Child
for Forming Bone and Tissue
Mild Acids Helpful.

Vegetables and fruits are now con-
sidered necessary part Of the diet
of the child. The reasons are many,
but most Of them may be summed UP
by saying that they furnish material
needed to form bone and tissue and
to regulate body processes. The mild
acids which some Of them contain help
to prevent constipation; so, too, does
the cellulose or fiber. especially when
1t Is raw, though It's value for this pur-
pose may have been exaggerated In
popular literature.
Green vegetables are also a valuable
means of introducing into the diet
mineral matters, particularly iron, in
a form In which the body can utilize
them. Even at city prices green vege-
tables have been shown to be an
source OF iron. Leaf vege-
tables, like spinach. beet greens, kale,
etc, have recently been found to con-
tain some Of the growth-promoting
substances that are found In milk.

DIRECTLY midsummer dresses of sheer
fabrics have made their appear
ance. to be received with even more
than the usual joyous acclaim that
always awaits them. Women find their
familiar old friends in these fabrics,
reappearing each year with new
charms added to those we have known
so long, and made up In new and en-
ucing ways in which combinations of
two materials play a conspicuous part
this season. Crisp and dainty organdy
has great role in midsummer STYLES
and associates itself with dotted
swiss, wolfe, batiste and goods Of like
character.
Plain dark blue organde, made I'D
with dotted swiss, is an old favorite
IN combinations which make its ap-
pearance with the return of summer.
1t Will be among those present in the
pageant of midsummer frocks. Fine
white batiste, covered with small
tucks, makes a deep yoke, collar and
cuffs for a cherry-red dotted swiss and
