eler. Even the Olivia editor would
marvel at it's grandeur were he to in
vestigate what actually constitutes
Fahlun. Tho we much admire Kandi-
yohi Lake, we still have several more
lakes equally as beautiful We could
without embarrassing the beauty of
Fahlun present it to Renville county
where it could be utilized in the prox-
unity of the '"Times" editors private
sanctum whose surroundings are not
entirely mountainous, if our recol-
lectiOns are correct.
That Fahlun was not until recently
settled might be inferred from the
Times criticisms. We quote from
the Kandiyohi County History the fol-.
lowing to substantiate this fact: ''The
lakes and groves in what is now the
township of Fahlun made it an attrac-
tive place for the early settlers. Six
teen presumption statements were fill
ed for claims in this township previous
to August 1, 1852
These early pioneers who settled
in this township have transplanted the
sheer wilderness into what is today
rich fields of rich production. The la
mentable phase of it is that these early
pioneers lived toiled and died at ma
tured age ignorant of the existence"
(pardon us for using the same phras-
ology) of Olivia and it's "Times'' edi-
tor whose abodes on the plains there
were not in evidence at that time, due
probably to the discomforts incidental
to the roaming about of the redskins.
Next time, Mr. Editor, when you
set sails for the 'bogs," please do not
confine your journey only to the beach
which is not true representation of
Fahlun, but extend your trip to the
central and northern portions and be-
hold the high and lofty things that
this beauty spot affords to him who
will but observe. b..

was Quite lengthy and it's various ele-

structed. The parade made it's way
thru the principal streets of the city.
Animals on display were seen in many
Of the wagon cages. <sr go. -
The grounds for the circus were To-
Gated at the South end Of Sixth street.
Work Of putting up the large tents
began soon after the first trains pull
ed in at six o'clock in the morning.
The performances were excellent.
The animal acts were unusually good.
The various daredevil. stunts were
thrilling and the clowns did quite we'll
with their wit and comic capers. The
performance thruout was thoroly en-
joyed. It was continuous series of
acts with variety and interest.
The wild west show however did not
merit any particular mention. A few
stunts with ropes, etc., were nothing
unusual.
The wrestling match which follow.

to be purchased, drew good crowd

Samuelson had everything his own

The circus wrestler seemed afraid O

THAT DANCE, QUESTION

= Dancing is a natural instinct. In
youth especially is it natural inclin-
alton to move lightly to the strains of
music. 1t is as natural a pleasure as
to sing. When the band strikes up a
melody even the old folks move with
marching step while, when the orch
estra plays its waltz or two step the
feet Of young people glide along with
the music. Dancing being natural, has
been, is now and will be henceforth.
Here however comes the rub Those
who so severely condemn the dancing
of today declare there is no good in
the pleasure. It. Chords NO exercise
Of particular. value, it's music, now
mostly Jazz, is abominable, the sexual
intimacy is a moral detriment and the
institution as whole a work of the
evil one. The dance, demoralizes the
young. Furthermore, drink and crime
are often associated with the dance,
the moral giants tell us. And lastly,
we have heard said dancing is an evil
fault Of our human natures.
Perhaps there is some truth in the
above. More likely, however, the
stand is somewhat narrow and ex-
IRENE. There is some good in. every
thing. Almost all things of creation
are good and will be of advantage to
mankind. if used, properly. The abuse
alone causes the evil The sin within
the human heart will abuse. and mis-
use that which might be utilized for
it's betterment
Here is the situation. On the one
end of our teeter-totter sits the per-
son who bitterly condemns all dance
as the invention of his Satanic maj
esty and on the other the person who
acclaims all dancing as absolutely a
respectable amusement, immune from
any serious abuse The teeter-totter
moves. The persons ride as high as
the board will swing and as low as the
same board goes down. That is their
pleasure. To keep. the board horizon
tai would be to agree and take hap
py medium stand on the question. One
scars to his extreme and the other
sails of to his. .s
A far more. congenial and perhaps

more hroad minded posi- ion: uld read
lily be taken if one will only concede
what is true and at the same time adj
NIT what is evil One extremist has
to meet the other extremist half way.
Should they agree to do so their COM
Citation would amount to something
like this.
Both admit that dancing is instinc-
tive. He who says otherwise does not
know the human family or is. greatly
deficient in his own nature. This in
stinct if used properly may be made
an art If a young man can dance al
one to appropriate music and dance
with young lady with the same res
pect for himself and his fair partner
there should be no cause for complaint.
II the proper attitude. of young cou-
pie is maintained on the floor and the
common temptation to become sens
Gus is repealed, dancing could be free
from censure. Furthermore if the
dance. music is of the best kind and
the degrading jazz is abolished for
ever from the dance floor criticism
will be still less.
Here is the abuse. When couples
are permitted to become purely and
boldly immoral on the floor, when the
! dance music played is. conducive to
that frame of mind and when drink is
tolerated about the place then there
| is high time that interference is made
Abuse must be restrained and order
restored. And the danger is always
there unless the dance is taken in
hand.
The dance, especially the public
dance, which caters to- people Of all
| classes, is apt to abuse ITSELF Some
declare that 50 per cent Of our public
dances (they do not spare tho private
dance however, are immoral and alb
used. The situation is. sometimes seri
Gus. Yet as dancing is instructive il
is folly to try to wipe it out. The
enforcement of the prohibition amend
ment would be as small a task as fore
ing starved man to eat compared tc
any law prohibiting the dance. II
surely would not stand the test.
Regulation is the measure neces
sary. Every public dance which is
suspected to be Of an immoral char
acter should be regulated. The com
munity should feel responsible for the
respectable character of it's dance
halls. Those in charge of the hall
the dancers and the orchestra should
be plainly notified what is expected
Of them. Abuse should be promptly
punished.
If the abuse continues the place
should be closed by the order of the
community officials.
The above would seem to be tho
safest and most considerate stand tx
take
Incidentally one must however con
denim the Sunday dance. No one who
has the interest of the church at hear
will tolerate the dance on the Sab
bath. 1t is deplorable enough tina
athletics are held on that day.

FORMER FAHLUNITE PAYS
RESPECTS TO OLIVIA EDITOR

Editor of the Willmar Tribune:
Dear Sir: In: your issue of Tribune
for last. week appeared an article re
printed from the Olivia Times where
in the. editor Of that paper criticizes
the town board Of Fahlun township of
this county for their attitude towards
Kandiyohi Lake Beach in prohibiting
Sunday dancing at the pavilion there
and for af6xing license fee. of $500
for week day dancing for the season
and setting a closing limit time of 10
O'Clock each evening when dancing
must cease.
It is not the object of the writer to
opine his views as to the merits or
dement's Of dancing, be that as it may.
1t is however obvious that the dancing
at the beach did not meet with the
approval of the town: board of Fahlun
which has jurisdiction over this par
ticular place by virtue Of it's location
within the borders Of this township,
as their action Of setting such early
closing hour and of affixing the rather
prohihitive price of license fee, were
undoubtedly done with the view Of
stopping dancing there, rather then
to enrich; the Golfers of the town treas
ury and thus by this lucre atone for
the wrong that. may be in the dancing
according to the town boards view, as
the editor OF this article insinuates.
But the Olivia editor does not con-
fine his article of wrath to the "moss
covered fosils"' that imbibes the town
board as5he terms it, and to the dane
ing problem but enters into the. fol-
Z lowing flcticious, fallacious and mali
cious Typographical description of
Fahlun when in his rawlings he writes:
"Fahlun township until very few
years ago was inhabited chiefly by
muskrats and mosquitoes. It's frog
ponds and alkali boys would have no
value were it not for the location in
relationship of Kandiyohi lake. Thou
sands OF people would have gone to
their graves ignorant Of the existence
OF Fahlun were it not for the lake."
. It is this erroneous misrepresenta-
ton of Fahlun that caused the writer
to pen these lines and set forth the
true virtues Of this township in ,ques-
ton.
To know the embodiments of Fab
lun is to associate it with everything
J. that Is beauty in nature. It's many
lakes whose shores are covered with
beautiful forests and with its scenic
higANaYa winding about over hills
