Special Train
to Dairy Show
COUNTY FARM BUREAU CHART
ERS TRAIN TO TAKE DAIRYMEN
TO BIG SHOW OCT. 1918.

A special train has been chartered
by the Farm Bureau to take 800 dele
gates from this County to the Ma
tional Dairy Show which will be held
at the State Fair grounds, St. Paul,
October 7th to 14th. Every man and
woman who is interested in any phase
of dairying is delegate and is invited
to go.
The Special will leave North Red
wood on the NJ. & ST. L. line at o.
clock Thursday morning, October the
18th and return from the Show at 6
o'clock Friday evening, October the
18th.
The fare for the round trip will be
the price of the usual single fare of
1882. This concession to the Farm
Bureau-by the Railway Company, for
this small amount, makes it possible
for every person to go.
Redwood County, as far as dairying
is concerned, is IN it's infancy and con-
sequently every person in each COM
munity should make an extra-special
effort to go.
The tickets are on sale now at the
local banks or reservations may be
made by writing to Max Treu, County
Agent, Redwood Falls, MINI.

Races Are Big
Feature of Fair
HARNESS RACES ATTRACT MUCH
ATTENTION. NOVELTY RACES
CAUSE LOTS OF FUN.
C. C. CRoCKER MAKES HIT.
LOCAL HORSE WINS FIRST
MONEY IN FIVE HEATS IN
2:22 TROT THURSDAY.

The races at the Redwood County
Fair last week formed one of the
biggest attractions the fair has ever
had, many people coming from long
distances for this part of the enter
tainment alone. It is safe to say that
every visitor felt well repaid for the
effort made as the races were Of ex-
ceptional merit on each of the four
last days. C. C. Croker, of Redwood
Falls, was speed superintendent and
also the starter of the races and
much of the credit for the good man
agenent of the races and the con-
sequent satisfaction of both crowd and
horsemen is due his ability and his
earnest effort to conduct the races
upon foursquare basis. Horsemen
were loud in their praises of Mr..
Crocker's work, several of them stat
ing that they preferred him to any
other man under whom they had ever
started. Just as great satisfaction
was expressed by race fans in the
grandstand who stated that his work
was above criticism. Since this was
Mr.. Crocker's first work as starter at
fair in his own county, considerable
interest was taken in his work.
The field was large in each of the
two harness races listed for each days
program and there were also a num-
Der of starters in each of the running
races, one of which was run each day.
The first of these was the running
race for Redwood County horses which
was held, Tuesday afternoon. In this
race Raymond Onken won first, High
Evans second and West Davis third.
The. purse in this, as in the other
running races, was fifty dollars
divided twenty-five, fifteen and ten.
The SECOND running race was the
mule race which was run Wednesday
afternoon while this race wasn't much
for speed it was long on fun, the
"mulishness" of the contestants caus-
ing a number of complications. It,
more than any of the other races of
the entire fair, had to be seen to be
appreciated. John Cassman won first
money, Ray Metcalf second and Jim
Dennistoun third.
In the free-for-all running race of
Thursday afternoon Raymond Onken
again won first place, Mr.. Ghent Sec
and and Eldor Schreyer third
y The mule race was repeated Friday
afternoon Will Flaherty winning first
place, Ray Metcalf second and Geo.
Nafsinger third. TX -
Of the harness races, the 2:22 Trot
of Thursday afternoon probably at
tracted most attention because the
winner Hollywood Phoebe is owned by
Rossow and Golden of Redwood Falls
and was driven by Leo O'Hara of
Redwood Falls. The, time made by
this horse in this race was 2:19A, this
earning her first place in a field Of
seven. Five heats were run to de-
eide the race, the Redwood Falls horse
coming in first in the first, fourth and
fifth, and second in the other two
heats. Arch Tolus the winner of sec
ond money in the 2:18 trot Wednesday

DR.. Rothenburg
Starts Campaign
CANDIDATE FOR REPRESENTA-
TIVE-AT-LARGE ANNOUNCES
CANDIDACY AND PLATFORM.

DIR. J. C. Rothenburg, we'll known
and popular physician of this city and
candidate for the office Of representa-
tive-at-large from Brown and Red
wood counties, has been busily engag-
ed the past several weeks, outlining
his campaign for the, coming election,
which will take place on Tuesday,
November 7th. b..
I Dr. Rothenburg needs no introduc-
tion to the residents of Brown and
Redwood counties, having practised his
profession in both counties for the
past thirty-six years, and has always
taken an active interest in all mat
ters pertaining to the welfare of the
public. He is conversant with the le-
gislative needs of both city and rural
residents and takes keen interest in
politics and it is his firm belief that
nothing except absolute necessity
should bring about any addition to the
already heavy burdens of the taxpay
er. He also feels that taxpayers
should not expect the government to
bear all the burdens during periods as
critical as the one through which we
are passing at the present time.
Early this spring, when he was in
terviewed regarding his entering the
race for this important office, DR..
Rothenburg did not feel disposed to
file, but finally yielded to the entreat-
les of his many friends and since that
time has been gradually giving more
of his time to meeting with the vot-
ers of the district in the interest of
his campaign. He intends to wage
vigorous fight for the office and will
appreciate the support of his friends
during the coming weeks before cleo
ton. This district should be proud of
sending representative of the type
of DIR. Rothenburg to St. Paul to join
with the lawmakers who assemble
there and frame the laws which regu-
late the welfare of this great state of
the northwest.
He has adopted the following plat
form:
Less government, less taxes. Let
us do it ourselves, don't expect the
government to do it for us.
More respect for our laws. If they
are not workable, let's repeal them.
Public improvements involving pub
lie taxation should not be encouraged
at this time, unless they are proved
an absolute necessity.

most scientific and practical agricul-
tural movement known in the history

VIM. Battin
Killed by Car
AGED MAN STEPS INTO AUTOS
PATH; DIES FEW HOURS
LATER.

VIM. Battin died late Monday night,
September rs from injuries received
When he was hit by an automobile
near the S. Wetmore home about five
o'clock that afternoon. Tuesday aft
ernoon short service was held at
the Odlaug Undertaking parlors with
Rev. c. F. Martin, former pastor of
the Church of Christ officiating. The
service was attended by the members
of the John Ball Post of which Mr..
Battin was member and by num-
Der of relatives and friends of this
vicinity. The body was then taken to
Spencer, Iowa where interment was
made in the family cemetery Thurs
day morning.
The accident of which Mr.. Battin
was the victim was the result Of
circumstance over which no one had
any apparent control. Mr.. Battin,
who with his wife had arrived in Red
wood Falls Monday afternoon, was
walking to the S. Wetmore home on
the east side of town about five o.
clock. Mr.. Cooper, one of the con-
session men at the fair grounds, ask
ed him to ride with him and when they
arrived at the Wetmore home the car
was stopped and Mr.. Battin stepped
around back of it, right in the path
of an automobile driven by Frank
Fowell. Mr.. Powell was driving at
very moderate rate according to men
who were following him, but because
of driving against the sun, and of the
position of the Cooper car he did not
see Mr.. Battin whom the car knocked
down. 1t then passed over his body.
Both legs were badly crushed, one
arm was broken and there were 4
number Of very serious bruises. The
injured man was taken to the Redwood
Falls Hospital where everything possi-
BILE was done for him, but because of
his old age and the seriousness of his
injuries there was little hope of his
recovery from the time of his arrival
there.
Mr.. Battin is survived by his wife,
his son w. F. of Morton with whom
he expected to spend the winter and
another son from whose home at
Spencer, Iowa Mr.. and Mrs. Battin
had just come He was past eighty
three years Of age and was farmer
in Iowa until age made it necessary
for him to retire from active work.
He fought through the Civil War and
was an honored member of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
