was given. The Lamberton Band

at Lamberton and played several fine

Treu, the leader of the Pig and Calf
Clubs of Redwood County, introduced
several gentlemen who gave short
Z talks on subjects relative to the work
of these clubs. T. A. Erickson, State,
Leader of Boys and Girls Clubs, gave
an interesting talk on the value of
club work to the children and the need
of older people and persons of other
occupations getting in personal touch
| with this work. Mr.. Erickson pro-
phesied that before many years have
passed, the most of the work of the
Farm Bureau will be done with the
young people on the farms since the
returns from this work are so much
greater that from that done with
older people. The other speakers
were H. A. Baldwin who spoke for the
banks of 'the County, Rev. B. L. Main
who spoke for the Church, Peter Nc
! Kay president of the Farm Bureau,
, A. C. Dolliff who spoke for the Red
wood County Agricultural Society and
County Attorney Emerson who well
coined the visitors to. Lamberton.
