CLAUSSEN BROS. HAVE
BIG POTATO CROP

Claussen Bros. of the Gen.
ter district finished digging
their potatoes last Friday
after putting three digging
crews to work the latter part
of the season. The yield will
average from 200 to $50 sacks
per acre. The Claussen Bros.
place is the former Bob Syl-
vester ranch southeast of Cen
ter and is a fine piece of land.
This year they had 35 acres of
certified Peach Blows from
seed they had developed from
half a bushel planted in the
garden five years ago. The
big l2O-foot cellar is now full
of Peach Blows of extra quail.

Besides the Peach Blows,
Claussen Bros. harvested forty
acres of Brown Beauties, aver
aging better than 200 sacks to
the acre.
It will be remembered that
the Claussens had an unfor-

the slickers left the country in
the night and defeated the
court decree. The Claussen
family are real farmers and
have had big crops every year
which has made it possible for
them to meet their obligations
and come out on top.

THIS IS YOUR MEETING. TOO.


"HERE is another thing which residents of
Redwood County and Redwood Falls should
give some little time to. That is the annu-
al meeting of the stockholders Of the Redwood
County Agricultural Assocation-the Associa-
tion which is responsible for the annual fair
which has become an institution in the county.
This meeting is to be held in the Commercial
Club rooms at two o'clock next Friday after
noon, October Ia. There are nearly two dun-
tred stockholders in the Association and yet
every year the annual meeting is attended by q
mere handful Of twenty thirty people and
they are usually gotten together by the officers
rounding them up The gathering consists
almost wholly Of the residents of the city only,
with the rest of the county entirely unrepre-
sented This meeting is the place to bring all
suggestions and criticisms, both destructive and
constructive. It offers to everyone an oppor-
tunity to learn something Of the vast undertak-
ing Of conducting county fair such as Redwood
County has, and it is only fair thing to the
board of directors that the meeting be well at
tended Remember to come to the Commercl-
al Club rooms at two o'clock next Friday aft
ernoon; learn how the money you have expend-
ed in fair stock is being spent, and help to start
things going for the fair next year.

WEDNESDAY,. OCTOBER Il, 1921.
YOUR LECTURE COURSE.

- HE Gazette is making one more appeal Tor
the support Of the lecture course which
opens with musical number next We'd
nesday evening. The committee which has
selected this course has given, we believe, an OPP
portunity to hear the best series Of entertain
ments that have come to Redwood Falls for
many years and for smaller price than has
ever been charged before. The course has been
selected to meet all tastes and carries wide
range Of subjects in its lectures, its musical
numbers and the literary program with which
it closes. In doing this work the committee
has given its time and service both in the mat
ter Of selection and in the matter Of selling the
tickets It's members reap nothing from this
work except the satisfaction Of helping Red
wood Falls to have some really good entertain
n1ents- exceptionally good for SO small city.
Now it is up to all citizens to give whatever OF
moral and financial support they find possible
in order that this course may be q success and
in order that future courses may be possible
to the city Lacking this series each year there
would most certainly be a very real poverty OF
good and satisfactory entertainment. While
there are a. multiplicity of things to go to" it
is not always that these are of a character
which satisfies Sthe taste for the really best
things That five numbers, each one gem in
itself, is within reach at the very modest price
of dollar and twenty-five cents, should make
every resident hesitate before he decides not to
buy season ticket.

said to him: Doctor. am afraid to die.

quietly the doctor said, 4 do not know.
ssYou do not know? You Christian man,

doctor was holding the handle of the door, on
the other side Of which came sounds OF
scratching and whining, and as he opened the
door dog sprang into the room and leaped
on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient the doctor said:
aDid you notice that dog He had never
been in this room. He did not know what
was inside He knew nothing except that

opened he sprang in without fear. know

~ OR long time, many months, there has
II been a fierce war on at Lamberton. Both
sides in the fracas has had q newspaper on
which to unload their grievances The war has
been bitter and hard fought, and, as in such
cases, both sides have lost. But such conditions
cannot always maintain, something had to give
way The break started last week when one OF
the banks closed it's doors. This brought on the
failure Of one Of the largest mercantile estab-
lishments in town. No doubt others will soon
drop. There is no excuse for such conditions at
Lamberton except pure, unadulterated cussed-
ness Lamberton is situated in as fine terri
tory as there is anywhere, and it should be a
big, prosperous town; but instead it is sallow,
dwarfed, lacks pep, in fact it is mo good.

the end is near It is too bad. Lamberton de-
served better fate-Carl Eastwood in LIE Sueur
