MANAGEMENT AND EXHIBITORS
PREPARING FOR BIG ANNU-
AL EVENT.
Admissions Reduced.
SPACE ON PIKE NEARLY ALL
SOLD; SPLENDID ATTRAC-
TIONS BOUGHT.

The big annual event, the Redwood
County Fair, is dated this year for
September 26, 27, %, 20 and 80, the
first day to be devoted to the enter
ing of exhibits and the remaining
four days and evenings to be given
over to the many features which
makes the Redwood County Fair one
of the biggest fairs of this section of
the state.
While every effort is being made by
the board of management to make
the fair the equal ifanot the rival of
any fair ever held here, it has made a
marked reduction in the various adj
missions and the fair may be attended
much more cheaply this year than for
several preceding years. Last year
the adults season ticket was three
dollars, this year it is only two; the
exhibitors ticket is only two dollars in
stead of three as last year, the single
admission is only fifty cents instead
of seventy-fve, grand stand admission
is made twenty-five cents to all, a
helpers ticket costs only two dollars
for the entire season, a season vehicle
ticket is one dollar and a children's s
season ticket only one dollar; Chill
dren's single admissions are twenty
five cents except on Thursday when
they will be admitted free, single adj
missions of vehicles is twenty-five
cents except at night when they are
admitted free and children are admit
ted to the grand stand for evening
shows at fifteen cents each. These
reductions will make material differ
ence in the cost of admissions for the
entire family and will undoubtedly
serve as one very excellent means
of increasing the attendance.
However, nothing has been sacrific-
ed. to economy. in. the selection of the

had so far recovered from his ter

be removed to his home Tuesday.

certainly serious.

FORMER REDWOOD FALLS PEO-
PIE HAVE GOOD TIME WHILE
ON WASHINGTON TRIP. +

A letter from G.. E. Larson, now re-
siding at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
contains the following interesting ac-
counts concerning a visit he and his
family recently made to the national
capitol
1--WE have had a delightful time
here this summer, and among other
trips we have taken I want to tell you
about one that we have just returned
from and which concerns other good
friends of yours.
ga few days ago it was my plea
sure to have occasion to go to Wash
ington to call on the General Purchas-
ing Officer for the Panama Canal and
so we combined business with plea
sure, Mrs. Larson and the boys going
with me. We spent delightful week
end there and visited as many of the
points of interest as possible during
the time we were there. Among the
places we saw was Mount Vernon and
as we stood in front of the Tomb OF
Washington we felt that we were on
halIowed ground. 1t is wonderful
place and if you have not already been
there I hope that it will be your plea
sure sometime, to go there.
"But the thing that will interest
you most is the call we made on our
old friend and fellow townsman, Con-
gressman Clague. We were cordially
received and for man who is as busy
as he, given unstintingly Of his time
in order that we might know some
thing about the workings of the
House. Through the kindness of Mr.
Clague, both of my boys had the honor
of sitting in the House of Representa-
tives and he was especially kind in
introducing them to many of the well
known men in that body, among them,
Uncle Joe Cannon and Mr.. Mann, the
majority leader, also Miss Alice Rob-
ertson, whom I know all women as
well as we men are glad to have there.
ST believe your representatlv Is
doing good work in Washington and
that you are well represented. You
can be Justly proud of him. We of
course met his Secretary and she was
more than kind to Mrs. Larson and
me. / believe that / am voicing the
sentiments of your city and of all OF
the good people of the Second District
of Minnesota when / say tnat | hope
they will return Mr.. Clague next term
without his having to make CAM
paign for it, and many succeeding
terms.
1--WE read your paper with interest
each week adm the thing that i'm
presses us is the rapid changes in
names. It is not three years since
we left and it seems to US that many
of the people that we knew there have
left and new ones are taking their
places"

Post Yourself on
The Hunting Laws.
OPEN SEASON FOR PRAIRIE
CHICKEN SEPT. 16 TO OCT. L.
OTHER GAME DATES.

With hunting season three weeks
away and the season to run dogs but
one week off, chill in the air at
night and the sky gray in the morn
ing seems to be about time to get
all the dope on what you can shoot
during the season of 1921.
The following rules and regula-
tions are taken from this years
compilation of the game laws:
The open season on prairie chick
ems this fall runs from Sept. 16 to
October 1. Nine birds may be taken
in day, but Is birds is the full sea-
son limit. Ducks, coots, and geese
may be shot from September 16 to
December 81. The day limits are Is
ducks and coots and S geese. You
may kill As ducks, As coots or 5
geese. You may kill As ducks, 45
coots or geese as your season limit.
Quail may be taken from October
Is to November 80, with 10 days
limit and 80 for the season.
Partridges cannot be taken this
fall, the season being closed on this
game bird until October Is, 1922,
Squirrels may be killed after October
Is, snowshoe rabbits also being pro-
tected until this date. Hunters must
remember that it is unlawful to en-
ter into any growing grain, or to al
low their hunting dog to do so, with
out permission of the land owners,
and also that it is unlawful to hunt
on the land of another after having
been notified not do so. Deer may
be taken this year between Novem-
Der 10 and Nov. 20 only, under prac-
tically the same conditions as hereto
fore, except that a metal tag, to be
furnished by the county auditor at a
cost of 25 cents, must be attached to
big game carcasses. The tag will be
furnished with each license issued
and at the same time.

Agri. Course
Is Changed
SOME CHANGES MADE IN VOCA-
TIONAL COURSE AT HIGH
SCHOOL; ENROLL THIS WEEK.
(By L. w. Dahms, DIRECTORY

Because of recent requests by stu
dents and the possible early compile
tion of the fall farm work it has
been decided to begin the course In
Vocational Agriculture on October 3
and continue for six months until
April 3, 1922 These dates refer to
the special course which had been pre-
viously planned to start October 10th.
Last years students who earned
three credits may participate in ath-
letics provided they register now. =
Two courses are offered, the regular
and the special. The former is a
nine months course, the latter six
months. The regular course may be
selected by the student who is inter-
ested in Agriculture and is planning
on attending school for nine months
each year, and hopes to complete the
regular high school course. This
class will devote the entire forenoon
to agricultural work for nine months
and in the afternoon it will take other
high school work. Three to SIX
months project or home agriculture
will be carried out. Farm crops and
Farm mechanics will be the hkefy
subjects for this class and these pro-
vide for 2 credits in Agriculture
The other two credits will be in Eng
lish and one other elective such as
manual training, civics, or cltlzenshlp
and algebra.
The special course is offered to farm
bows and others who are interested in
Agriculture, and who are unable to
begin when the high school opens IN
Sentember. Some, too, do not want
to take the regular high school course,
but rather that training which they
most need in relation to Agriculture:
This course begins in October and
closes April 8, 1922, thus giving pupils
opportunity to remain on the farm
d,1ring the busy time of the year.
The course continues for two years,
after which diploma is presented TO
those having successfully completed
this work. During the summer
months, when pupils are needed on the
farm, small portion OF their time Is
used in carrying out their project
work under the supervision Of the IN
strrctor. Thus, it will be seen that
this training continues for a period
Of twelve months. Credits are given
for good work, and such students as
have completed this course and are
graduates from the eighth graie may
enter the third year Of the high school
course. By doing some extra work, it
should not be difficult to finish the
high school course in two additional
wears. Any boy who is Ia years old
or over and interested in farming is
eligible to enter this course even il
he has dropped out of school. This
group. will devote the entire after
noon to agricultural work for sir

Dies of Injuries
RUNAWAY TEAM CAUSES DEATH
OF FARMER; RESIDING
IN BROWN COUNTY.

Alb. Tragner died Tuesday after
noon at 1890 o'clock as the result of
injury to his spine, received in run
away accident on his farm some eight
miles southeast of Fairfax, the precer-
ing day at noon. Mr.. Tragner was
ploughing in a field near the house
during the morning and shorty after
noon the team ran into the barn lot.
The members of the family became
alarmed and went to look for Mr..
Tragner. He was found unconscious
in the field, and was taken to the home
and medical aid summoned at once
Regained Consciousness.
Mr. Tragner regained consciousness
about two o'clock and stated that the
team had run away. 1t is supposed
that he had the lines around his
shoulders and became entangled in
them, when the horses became fright
ened.
There was no hope for his recov-
cry, as his spine was injured to such
an extent that death was but a mat
ter Of few hours. His. face was al
so bruised from being dragged in the
field.
The deceased was born in Austria
SO years ago and came to American
when Is years of age, remaining ir
Pennsylvania for a few years. He
then came to Minnesota and was mar
ried at ST. George in 1878. He is sur
viyed by his wife and three children
John and Miss Theresa at home and
Jacob, residing in West Newton. He
is also survived by three sisters, Mrs
Katherine Grosam and Mrs. Mary

County Bankers
= to Have Picnic
CONGRESSMAN CLAGUE TO AD-
DRESS GATHERING OF FIN
ANGLERS ON LABOR DAY.

Redwood County Bankers and their
families, and the employees of the
county banks and their families, will
gather in Ramsey State Park Monday,
September 5, observing Labor Day by
holding the first annual picnic OF the
Association.
The morning will be devoted to a
general good time followed by picnic
luncheon at noon. Then the gather
ing will have the pleasure Of listen
ing to Congressman Frank Clague
who will arrive this week from Wash
ington and has consented to give the
address of the day. This will be of
the greatest interest to the bankers,
since Mr.. Clague's work during these
last several months in Washington
has given him big opportunity to
study the financial and industrial con-
ditions at first hand.
Following Mr.. Clague's address the
bankers will restrain their natural de-
sire to attend the ball game at the
fair grounds and will remain in ex-
ecutive session for a time, discussing
matters of high finance. However
they will endeavor to bring this inn

yiously offered, these amounts have
been raised in several classes to eight,
five and three dollars. A study of the
premium list will show that it is go
ing to be more profitable than ever be-
fore to bring the best the farms of
the. county have to offer for exhibi-
tion purposes. Horses will not be
shown at all this year. This is large
ly because the entries made in this
division have been very few for the
past several years and it was felt that
the large building usually devoted to
the display Of horses might be more
proftably devoted to some of other
exhibit.
The showing Of the boys and girls
clubs will be made in the large barn
formerly occupied by the horse exhi-
bits. Calves, pigs. poultry and garden
products will be shown here and pro-
badly some demonstration work will
fine opportunity for viewing the club
also be done here. This will give a
work which has become one Of the
most interesting and informative
parts Of the annual fair program.
School exhibits proper will be made as
usual in the school exhibit building.

South Africa's New Bank

South Africa's new Federal Reserve
Bank, patterned much after our own
reserve system which has achieved
such brilliant success, will be ready for
business In very short time now. The
nank, established under a new South
African currency and banking law, has
a capital of e1,000,000, of which $500.

remainder being issued for public sub
scrlpt1on at par. No stakeholder other
than subscribing bank and the
Ireausy may hold more than $4,000
dividends are limited to 10 per cent
and surplus profits in certain definite
proportions go to reserve. When the
reserve fund is equal to the paid-up
capital, net profits, after payment of
a IL per cent dividend, will go to the
south African government. In addi-
ZION TO the transaction of ordinary
banking business, and acting as bank
ers and financial agents Of the govern
ment, the ne wabnk will have the sole
right to issue bank notes in the South
African Union for period of twenty
hve years. The notes are TO be secured
to an amount of not less than 40 per
cent IN gold and the remainder in COM
merclal paper or trade bills and bv a
hrst charge on all the assets of the

hold IN gold or specie a reserve of at
least 40 per cent of its deposits and

Predict Upward Movement

The dopesters and chart experts are
predicting an upward movement for the
stock market. The following circum-
stances are named by Goodbody & Co.
as favoring them, viz: A large short
interest; comparatively easy money
conditions; general business conditions
are SO bad that they can hardly get
worse. "The general opinion" says the
firm, "as to the last break is that it
was caused by desire on the part of
bankers TO make q final cleanup Of
their shaky loans. Large speculative
interests, who were unable to take up
the securities which they were carrying
with the banks on demand, were COM
PEELED to sell out. When these securi-
tie struck the market there was already
a large short interest set up because of
general business conditions and in an
ticipation Of this very thing. Indica-
tons are that substantial part of the
short interest covered early in the
break. It IS possible, therefore, that
the short interest is not as large as is
generally supposed. Certainly the
action of the market before the July
holidays indicated either that the short
interest was not large or that it was
very confident of it's position.
