George Barnes
Starts Campaign
REDWOOD FALLS ATTORNEY
SEEKS ELECTION TO OFFICE
OF COUNTY ATTORNEY.

County politics are again awaken
ing after the post-primary lull and
one of the first of the Redwood County
men to begin an active campaign as a
candidate for the general election is
George A. Barnes of Redwood Falls
who is candidate for the office of
County Attorney for Redwood County
Mr.. Barnes studied law for con-
siderable period at the University of
Minnesota, later going to the Uni
versity of Ann Arbor, Michigan, where
he took his L. L. B. in 1916, Follow
ing his graduation from the Michigan
University he was admitted to thu
Minnesota bar in 1917 after year OF
reading law in the office of Senator
Putnam of Blue Earth.
In 1917 he entered the army and
served until February 1919. He then
came to Redwood Falls and opened a
law office, working Independently for
a time and later becoming associated
with Congressman Frank Clague in
the law firm of Clague and Barnes.
Mr. Barnes has full charge of the work
of this firm during Mr.. Clague's ex-
tended absences in Washington.
During his residence in Redwood
Falls Mr.. Barnes has been active in
several organizations and has always
justified the confidence placed in him.
He has been especially active in the
American Legion and was for time
the head Of the Redwood County AM
erican Legion, an office which he re-
signed upon becoming candidate for
County Attorney. He also served for
two years as the chairman of the Red
wood Falls Red Cross Branch during
the time this Branch did extensive
work with the ex-service men of the
community and also considerable soci-
al service work. He has also acquired
very excellent practise in his pro-
fession.
Since coming to; Redwood County
Mr.. Barnes has shown very keen in
terest in all public projects of worth
and has always been ready to take ac-
tive part in them even at personal
sacrifice of time and money. This
activity has given him wide acqu-
aintance throughout the County and
this acquaintanceship, coupled with his
pleasant personality will make Mr..
Barnes a strong campaigner. His in
tegrity and ability speak well for his
filing of the office of County Attorney
should he be elected. This is one of
the most important offices of the
county and Mr.. Barnes will have as
his opponent in the coming campaigE
for it Albert Emerson of Lamberton
who has served the county in this
capacity for the past twelve years.
This contest promises to be one OF the
closest of the coming campaigns. r..

Hard Stuff Sold
to Raiding Agents
THREE ARRESTED IN RAID ON
NEW ULM SOFT DRINK
PARLORS.

At "fying squadron" of prohibition
enforcement officers visited New Ulm
last Friday afternoon and called upon
several "soft" drink parlors and made
a search. There were four nner
and two women in the party. Con-
sternation reigned supreme until the
officers had finished their raid. AS a
result a quantity Of moon" is said
to have been found in Veigel Bros.
stand on South Minnesota street as
we'll as at the Motor Inn. The latter
place has been notorious for some
time.
At the Veigel place Henry Veigel
was taken in custody and at the Motor
Inn Jos. and Ed. Wolf, who were as
sisting during the celebration were
gathered in. The three were placed
in the county Jail by the federal
agents and remained there until the
following day, when they were re
leased upon their own recognizance.
The attorney generals office was
communicated with and consented to
this arrangement.
A preliminary hearing was held
before Justice Henningsen, Monday,
and the three were bound over to the
federal grand jury Mankato, which
convenes October "a.
At that time the three cases, to-
gether with several others, the re-
suit of a raid made several months
ago, will come up.
1t is said that shortly before the
arrival of the federal officers in New
Ulm several owners of 'soft drink
parlors were informed that raid was
impending.
After the officers left the city the
clipper" called a meeting of the
clipped" it is said, and collected
handsomely for the advance informa-
ton. s. i.
It is rumored that the net result of
the raid was % gallons of moon" "
The officers purchased a quantity
and it is said that in one instance the
'1egger" wanted to sell him five gal
Ions. He was anxious to make a
sale. Several more local '1eggers'
will likely be in the tolls by reason OF
these sales.-Sleepy Eye Dispatch.

Big Fire Works
Program at fair
TWO HOURS OF DAZZLING PYRO-
TECHNICS SEEN EACH NIGHT
AT COUNTY EVENT.

An outstanding feature of the most
extensive evening shows ever under
taken by the Redwood County Fair
will be more than fifty mammoutE
fireworks events to be presented in
front of the grandstand comprising
a special twohour program, Secretary
w. A. Hauck has announced.
The County Fair Management has
contracted with the Thearle-Duffield
Fireworks Co. of Chicago, pyrotechn,
lists for practically all the great ex-
positions in the country, to furnish
the Redwood County Fair with its
very best display fireworks program
for each night.
The program arranged Will not be a
monotonous procession of rockets and
blazing wheels, according to Secre-
tary Hauck. 1t is a succession OF
more than fifty dazzling special at
fractions, such as "Chasing the Boi-
'shevists," "Circus Clowns" a Thou
sand Glow Worms, Radium Dazzlers,
"a Summer Storm" Niagara Falls
and numerous elaborate scenic and
action features.
Hugh bomb-shells creating, gorgeous
displays in the sky are included in the
program; also "Pharaoh's Dream"
s.Sheaves of Wheat" and the Fright
ened Goblins" little figures that dart
about in terror.
Varied humorous and beautiful
events are introduced. ''The Flight
of the Fairies" is an exceptionally
beautiful number, while the Water
Wagon Special is uproariously funny.
"Come and see for yourself" is the
advice of Secretary Hauck, to all resi-
dents of the County and Vicinity.

Yellow Paint Is !
Used At New UIn,
H. L. BEECHER HOME AND
BROWN COUNTY JOURNAL
BLOCK PAINTED WITHIN PAST
FEW WEEKS.

Vandals and miscreants in New Ulm
seem to have but one way of venting
their spite on anyone against whom
they may have real or fancied
grudge, and that way is to daub the
offenders residence or place of busi-
ness with unsightly yellow paint
Some weeks ago the beautiful resi-
dence of HI. L. Beecher, general man
ager of the Eagle Roller Mill, was so
treated. ~
The reason for this piece of law
lessness is not positively known.
Mr.. Beecher's house is built of tex
ture brick, and the task of removing
the paint from such surface was no
small one. Not content with daubing
the paint all over the front of the
house, these vandals attacked the
shrubbery, and covered several bushes
with a similar coat.
During the early morning hours of
Sunday, August 20, an individual, or
individuals, entered the new parish
home of ST. Mary's church on South
Minnesota street, which is not yet
occupied, and daubed red paint over
the floor in one of the rooms on the
second story. The windows and
doors on the first floor were locked
and the vandals placed ladder
to a window on the south side of the
building, which happened to be open
and entered in this manner.
On Monday night of this week, the
Brown County Journal office received
a similar coat of paint. AS in the
previous case, it is not known with
any degree of certainty what was the
cause of this vandalism, but it is stat
ed that the work was done by individ-
uals who resented recent publicity Civ
en- their crimes and misdemeanors. I.
is thought that the recent account of
the raid by prohibition officers may
have had something to do with it.
We do not wonder that people who
would stoop so low as to be in any
way connected with such disgraceful
affairs, should resent the light of pub
licity on their actions, but the fact re-
mains that such lawlessness, which
seems to be on the increase, should
receive it's just punishment. The
Brown County Journal, in publishing
the accounts of these distasteful af-
fairs, used only the absolute facts, as

New Gate Built
at Fair Grounds
COUNTY AGRICUI..
TURAL GROUNDS TO HAVE
SPLENDID ENTRANCE.

Redwood County is at last to have
an entrance to it's fair grounds which
will be in keeping with the rest of the
grounds. Such an entrance has been
a vision of the Board of Directors for
the past several years and this year
it is to be realized.
The new entrance is fanked on eth
er side by a handsome pillar of
Springfield rough brick, these pillars
supporting an arch of angle wire and
netting which carries the words RED
WOOD COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS
in goldleaf letters. The pillars are
inlaid with a panel of light stone and
topped with flags making a very in
posing frame for the entrance. A
shorter pillar of the same materials
divides the entrance and will carry a
red light. The treasurer's office of
the same brick and a turnstile are
placed at the left of the entrance.
The gateway was designed and
erected by w. L. Hardy of Redwood
Falls and the effect of the whole is
very much a credit to Mr.. Hardy's
ability. The structure is not entirely
completed but will be finished within
very few days. Redwood County
has known for some time that it had
fair grounds that compare most favor
ably in appearance with grounds in
other sections of the state and the
new gate adds materially to this ap.
pearance.
The entrance is not the only part OF
the grounds that is claiming the at
tention of the men who are working
so valiantly to make this fair MINNIE
sofas GREATEST COUNTY FAIR
in every sense. Knowing that gooe
condition of the grounds adds greatly
to the enjoyment of fair visitors, the
management has left this entire mat
ter to C. O. Borg who has handled it
so well for many years past. Mr.
Borg is not only putting the race
track into excellent condition but he
is giving his personal attention to ev-
cry building and square inch of sur
face with result which is most pleas
ing even at this time, with the fair
still three weeks away. Mr.. Borg
and Speed Superintendent C. G.
Crocker are determined that the track
shall be in condition for the fastest
races the County has ever seen and il
hard and intelligent work will turn the
trick the track will be in just that
kind condition.

Pioneer of Silver
Screen on Pan Bill

Of the motion picture stars who
began to appear before the screen at
the inception of that industry fewer
remain than could be counted on the
fingers of one hand. Some have gone
the road that knows no return, others
have lost popular favor until the pro-
ducers find no profit in presenting
them: still others have been in them
selves the only reason of their down
fall. AS a matter of fact, there re-
mains from the earliest days only two
names-one a man the other a woman.
whose tenure characterizations always
will be popular.
The man is Munroe Salisbury. who
starred in 'Romona.' probably the first
of the feature pictures-almost A
score of years ago-and who will be
recalled by millions for the leading
role he created in the dramatization
Of Harold Bell Wright's story. 'sThe
Eyes Of the World" shown in Great
Falls less than a year ago. Mr.. Sails
bury will appear in person as the head
line feature of the Grand theater
vaudeville bill this week. His vehicle
is The Great Alone" a gripping tale
Of the Yukon. which is particularly
suited to Mr.. Salishury's virile type of
acting. Mr.. Salisbury's rich. dramatic
voice has been lost to the stage for
years and patrons of the Grand have
a great treat in store for them in hear
in his reading of some excerpts from
Robert W. Services poems.
