CAPTAIN Fraser
Has Good Plan
ARRANGES TO OPEN ARMORY
FOR ATHLETIC SPORTS OF
YOUNG BOYS OF CITY.

Captain w. A. Fraser of Company L
has formulated a plan whereby the
younger boys of the city may have
athletic advantages, with trained
supervision, one evening Of each week,
the plan to be put into operation with
in the next few days and to continue
for fifteen or sixteen weeks, during
the time that outdoor exercise is least
likely to be taken. Working with
Captain Fraser are several organiza-
tions of the city which will each i'm
ance one or more evenings, and also
see that proper supervision is given
for the evenings for which they are
responsible.
The plan has not yet been worked
out in detail, but as Captain Fraser
has outlined it the arnfory will be
opened for several hours: each Satur-
day evening for the use of boys from
eight years up to high school age, no
boy who is getting training with any
high school class, however, being per-
mitted to attend. Regular athletic
training will be given, chiefly by
means of games such as volley ball,
indoor baseball, basketball, etc. all pro-
ceedure being just as regular as
though given under the direction of
paid instructors. Following the exer-
else each boy will be allowed the use
of the shower baths in the basement
Of the armory, Captain Fraser HIM
self having direct supervision over
this part Of the work.
A board of directors will be asked to
assist Company L. in making the de-
finite plans, one member OF each or
ganization helping to finance the plan
being asked to serve on this board
The organizations which have thus far
signifed their interest in the matter
and their willingness to help are the
Knight of Pythias, the Masons, the
Knights of Columbus, the American
Legion and two of the Federated Wo-
mems Clubs of the City. The third
women's club has the matter under
advisement and will make known its
decision next week. Company l. also
proposes to finance the undertaking
ror one evening. If all these organ
izations are active it will mean that
sixteen evenings may be devoted to
this very worthy work.
The amount necessary for financing
this project is ten dollars an evening
this amount being required to heat
and light the armory and to provide
hot water for the showers. This is a
small sum for the citizens to expend
considering the vast good to be OBJ
tained from giving the youngsters well
supervised fun for one evening each
week. Anyone who has ocassion to
be about the city between the hours
of seven and nine-thirty realizes that
the boys need some place where they
can go and be safely and helpfully
amused Captain Fraser and Com
pany L are to be commended for tax
ing the initial step in providing suit
able quarters and suitable employment
for them and at no expense to the
individual boys. Further announce
ment will be made next week.

Sues for $4,000
Lost on Hog
MAN BOUGHT GOLD
BRICK HOG FOR $40, ,O00-NOW !
ASKS FOR $4,000 REFUND.

DIR. w. A. Anderson. was called to
Glencoe last week to testify in a
$4,000 hog suit brought by Hubert
Pinzka of Arlington.
In 1920, when money was free,
Mr.. Pinzka, a young farmer, was
entering into the pure bred hog busi-
ness and was seeking a good herd
boar. This fact came into the hands
Of some unscrupulous firm and with
the aid of high pressure salesman,
sold Mr.. T"inzka the Duroc Jersey herd
boar, Model Orion for the sum of $780,
0OO.. For making the sale the firm
paid the salesman $4,000.
After six months the hog died and
Mr.. Pinzka is suing the firm he pur-
chased the hog from for fraud and
Misrepresentation to the extent OF
$4,000.
The trial commenced last Tuesday
and lasted until Saturday, The ease
went to the jury Monday morning
of this week and as yet no decision
has been rendered.
Eight veterinarians testified at this
trial and about thirty-five witnesses
were amined.-Sleepy Eye Herald.

Gasoline Savings
Would Pave Roads
FIGURES SHOW GAINS POSSIBLE
FROM BUYING GOOD ROADS
INSTEAD OF GASOLINE.

Possible savings on gasoline alone,
in the next ten years at present pric-
es would pay the whole cost Of paw
ing the entire 7,000-mile Minnesota
system of trunk highways, according
to practical tests made by the Iowa
State college. Expert engineers re-
port that equal savings can be made
on tires with paved, against unpaved
roads, and this added, the possible
savings would equal the paving costs
in five years. Even greater savings
possible in. the life Of car and the
comfort and convenience afforded by
hard-surfaced highways would repre-
sent net gains, they assert.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, made it clear that
there is no immediate plan to pave
1000 miles or even 700 miles on the
trunk system, and that the figures are
applied to the Minnesota highway
program to emphasize that the pro-
posed bond issues to speed up better
ments are "just good business"
Iowa test averages showed that a
gallon of gasoline is the motor fuel
necessary to transport one ton ID
miles on earth road, 21 miles. on a
gravel road and 81 miles on a con-
crete pavement. With gasoline at "a
cents a gallon, ton mile fuel costs are
LII cents on earth, 1.15 cents on gra-
vel and n cents on paved roads.
Further, the tests show possible saw
ings Of Sc cents a ton mile on gravel
over earth roads, "a cents on pave
ment over earth roads and 3 cents
on pavement over gravel roads. The
weight Of the average vehicle is plac-
ed at 1876 tons. These basic figures
make it easy to figure with fair ac-
curacy the gasoline savings possible
from Improvement of any road on
which is known the number of motor
vehicles using it daily.

Begin Right Now ].
to Buy Health Seals
BANKS AND DRUG STORES HAVE
SUPPLY OF LITTLE sTICKERs
FOR CHRISTMAS MAIL.

The campaign for the sale of Christ
mas Health Seals is on in full blast
and it is now possible to buy ten
stamps or a thousand at any one OF
the banks or drugstores of Redwood
Falls. Health Sunday was observed
in the churches of the city last Sun
day and everyone attending these ser
vices learned of the value Of this lit
tie seals as real weapons with which
to fight disease germs throughout the
state and county. Only as these sales
are bought is it possible to have con-
tinuation of the clinics which have
brought so much benefit to the chill
dren of Redwood County and only thus
is it possible to raise funds for the
statewide fight against tuberculosis
Nine clinics have been held in Red
wood County this fall, the number OF
children examined at these being, two
hundred, seventy-five. Bad roads the
last few days of the clinic period kept
some mothers from bringing then
children to the examining physician
However, the enthusiasm and inter-
est of these mothers was well demon
strated at Lamberton where through
rain that poured diligently all day
long, thirty-five mothers and babies
came to the clinic AS result of the
clinics two children who were badly
in need of attention have already been
operated upon, and probably this num-
Der will be multiplied many times dur
ing the next few weeks.
The fight against tuberculosis in
Minnesota is bearing fruit. The
death rate last year from that cause
was lower than it has ever been In
the history of the state. 1t was
thought, when the remarkably low
rate was made in 1920 that a slight
increase might be witnessed in the
following year, but Notwithstanding
this fact the death rate for 1921 again
showed decline. In short, in that
one year the death rate showed that
276 lives had been saved in this state
The question is often heard, what
has the Christmas seal to do with
this ?" Before the Christmas seal was
offered and campaigns made for It's
sale very little was heard regarding
tuberculosis, excepting that it was a
dreadful disease, that many people
died of. Since the seal sale was IN
augurated tuberculosis and the work
that the Red Cross is doing to elimi-
nate it has been brought forcibly home
to every man, woman and child.

Medical Charter Trial

Readers of the Journal are familiar
with the suit brought by Drs. 0. j.
Seifert and D. V. Glysteen of Lam
berton against the Minnesota State
Medical association, asking the reyo-
cation of the charter of the Brown
County Medical association, a number
of years ago be declared illegal.
The charter was revoked, it will be
remembered in 1919, by the state er-
ganization. Since that time the Red
wood Brown Medical association was
organized. A number of doctors in
both counties are not members of the
latter organization and it is held by
some that the former association
should gain its original status.
The hearing will be held at st. Paul
Saturday.-Brown County Journal.

THANKSGIVING GAME BY
SCORE OF 1910.
NOW STATE CHAMPIONS.
TWIN CITY NEWSPAPERS CREDIT
REDWOOD FALLS WITH HAV-
ING "BEST" TEAM.

The Liberty-Snyders did come te
Redwood Falls Thanksgiving Day
they did play the doughty American
Legion Team and they did take ar
awful drubbing to the score of Is to 0
This entities the Redwood Falls team
to State championship honors and is 8
fitting climax to four years of con
tinuous victories. The game was the
best seen on the local gridiron fol
many years possibly the best ever seer
here and was enthusiastically watched
by fair sized crowd of fans.
In speaking of the game the Mime
apolis Tribune of Friday morning
made the following comment:
Twin City Titleholders Score Only
Three First DOwns-Winners
Undefeated for Four Years.
The Redwood Falls profession
al football team, undefeated for
the past four years, continued its
victorious pace at Redwood Falls
Thursday, by defeating the Lib
erty-Snyder eleven, Twin City
champion, 16 to O.. The contest
was stopped in the fourth quarter
by referee Henderson because of
darkness.
The Minneapolis team was out
played throughout the game, max
ing only three first downs. Cap
tain Gregor registered the first
tally, crossing the goal in the first
quarter. No scores resulted in
the second period, but the locals
resumed their relentless attack
in the third period. Mason scored
the second touchdown of the game
in this quarter, safety accounted
for the other two points.
Mason, Gregor and Carity were
the best performers on the win
ming combination. They were
hard pushed for honors by Mum
son and Larson of the Liberties.
A somewhat "breezier" comment is
the following made by the Pioneer
Press of Saint Paul.
A Strong Wind At Redwood Falls.
Hard luck comes singly and in
punches but the Liberty football
team believes there is no limit
to that which headed their way
Thanksgiving day at Redwood
Falls. The Liberties were beaten
fairly and squarely, Is to Q and
have nothing but praise for Red
wood Falls and its supporters, but
they will talk with their hands
when speaking of Thursday.
The team left at 7:30 A. M. and
after being stuck in the mud and
pulled out by a tractor, they ar
rived at their destination at 3:45
P. M. A band greeted them, they
rushed to the hotel, went dinner
less, changed to football togs and
played the game but the final two
quarters were played under the
moonlight. And wind-at one
kick off, the ball went twenty
yards in the air, only to land fif-
teen yards back of its starting
point. '..5 .a,
Honors for the local team are hare
to place as every man was sta
playing straight football every secon'
of the time and the team" work wa
above reproach. The game starte'
late because of the visiting team beln&
late in arriving, and quarters wer'

game was called in the fourth because
of darkness. The lineup and officer

death resulted, was the terrible acci
dent WHICH befell little Louis Arthur

the Judge Leiper farm, in the vicinity
of Intake last Friday.
Mrs. Kennedy was engaged in doing
the family washing and the child was
playing about the room. Mrs. Kennedy
had filled tub nearly full of boiling
water, and the vessel was sitting on
the floor She had repeatedly caut on
ed the lad to keep away from the
tub, but when she was not watching
closely he, came near the tub in his
play and fell backward into it. He
was rescued quickly but not until he
was severely scalded.

DAVIS THANKS THOSE WHO
HELP MAKE FAIR A SUCCESS

Appreciation of the splendid coop
organizations of Helena and the rep
resentatives of forty counties OF the
state in making a success OF the State
Far, was expressed by Chester G.
Davis, state commissioner of agricul
ture, speaking in behalf Of his de-
partment, under which the Fair is
conducted and the advisory board OF
the Fair.
"Our deep appreciation goes out
to exhibitors in the various depart
ments; the representatives OF forty
counties, in the agricultural divisions;
the Helena Commercial club and other
civic organizations, for the co-opera-
tion given in putting on the Fair TINS
year." declared Mr.. Davis.
The support given by agricultural
communities, under prevailing condI-
tions, has been greater than we had
reasoA-to expect, as a result OF which
the exhibits were successfully con-
Quoted
"The promotion of the Montana
Queen contest was notable achieve
ment, sponsored by the Helena Com
mercial club and participated IN by
the newspapers in the counties from
which the princesses were chosen. NO
event in the history of the Fair has
shown a finer spirit Of cooperation.
"As to the program of attractions,
we did all that the means at hand
would permit, and we prefer to leave
it to those who witnessed the events
to pass on the appropriateness OF the
afforded"
