BERT EARL WIN FIRSTS IN
FRIDAYS EVENTS.

The racing programs of the Red
wood County fair attracted thousands
of race fans from all over this section
of Minnesota, and these visitors all
felt repaid for travelling even long
distances. Because of the splendid
weather and the careful work prior to
the fair the track was in wonderful
condition. The four days of racing
were unmarked by any accident save
the slight one Of frightened horse,
LOttietoise, who broke away from her
driver and ran twice around the track
before she could be stopped, recover
ing however so that she continued in
the race and was one of the money
takers.
Fridays races were pronounced the
best from many viewpoints and prov
ed of the highest local interest be-
cause two of the local horses, Holly
rood Phoebe driven by Leo O'Hara
and Robert Earl driven by Hans Null
enberg, both started in this program
Hollywood has been taking money
with charming regularity all the sea-
son including a state fair race and
was a winner here Friday. Robert
Earl has been unable to race until
Friday because of Injuries received
early in the season, but covered him.
self with honors by taking first money
here. Roy Victor was another of the
horses which helped to make the
races the big success they were, this
horse starting in two races and taking
first money in BOTH Several of the
winning horses made records last
week.
Carl C. Crocker of Redwood Falls
started all races, his work giving the
highest satisfaction to both the horse
men and the audience. This is the
second year Mr.. Crocker has done this
work for the local agricultural Society

Creamery Exhibit.

Last week was the first time in
Redwood County's history that the
creameries of the district have had
display at the County fair and for
the first effort the showing was ex-
cellent. A large icebox in the main
building held jars of butter made by
thirteen buttermakers in and around
Redwood County. P. j. Kolbet of
Redwood Falls took first honors with
a scoring of 94A, his closest competi-
tor being L. A. Torney of Wabasso
who scored "a points. Max Renner
of Springfield scored 93% and Fred
w. Denhu of New Ulm 1914 points.
Other creameries represented in the
display were Franklin, Garvin, Nor
gan, Alpha, Comfrey, Danube and
Morton and also a second creamery
from New Ulm. Next year it is the
intention of the fair board to have
better facilities for caring for the
creamery display that it may be large
and attractively placed as is the due
of an exhibit of so great Importance

Mrs. Fred Jones.

Mrs. Fred Jones, sister of August
Frietag, residing four miles northeast
of Morton, met with tragic death
on Wednesday of last week when she

struck in the region of the heart and
lived but few hours. The funeral
was held at Morton Sunday. Mrs
Jones is survived by her husband
and six children from her present
marriage and two children by q
former marriage. Mrs. Jones had
gone to visit a neighbor and wher
she went to the barn to get her horse
the animal kicked her as she stepped

Last County Fair
Biggest Ever Held
THURSDAYS CROWD NUMBERS
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND PEO-
PIE; OTHER DAYS GOOD.
PERFECT WEATHER HELPS.
THIRTY-FIvE HUNDRED CARS
PARKED AT ONE TIME;
EVERYBODY HAPPY.

Redwood county closed her biggest
fair last Friday evening, the event
being without doubt the biggest in
point of attendance, this maximum at
tendance being due largely to the ex-
cellence of the attractions and also,
in very large part, to the four days
of perfect weather. Thursday was
the big Day., and the attendance
was conservatively placed by members
of the Board of Directors at twenty
five thousand.
At four o'clock Thursday afternoon
parked on the grounds and thirty
five hundred machines were counted.
Two four-minute checks were taken,
the first shortly before noon and the
second at about one-thirty and during
each of these periods forty cars pass
ed the checker, this being an average
of ten cars per minute. Since this
was children's day, most of these cars
were well filled and the average num-
ber of occupants was estimated at
five people. The grandstand seats
were all sold shortly after twelve o.
clock and the crowd then massed it
self along both sides of the track for
a distance reaching almost to the
barns on the west and we'll around
the curve on the east edge of the
track. 1t was undoubtedly the larg-
est crowd ever on the grounds, or in
this vicinity.
Exhibits of all lines were excellent.
Space is too limited to comment on
the displays in individual divisions but
there was no display that fell short
of the excellence of past exhibits and
many were better than ever shown
before. Corn was an especially fine
exhibit this year and attracted more
attention than did the small grain
exhibit which was about the average.
Displays in all lines of household and
art work were exceptionally good,
making that section of the exhibit
hall very attractive. Stock exhibits
were wonderfully fine in all lines.
Pavilion Is Popular
Aside from the racing program
there were many very good amuse-
ment features, including the full pro-
gram of vaudeville acts each afternoon
and evening and the fireworks pro-
gram each evening. In addition to
these one. of the biggest attractions
was the new dance pavilion which
was opened last week for the first
time The floor in this pavilion was
pronounced excellent, the music by
the Dream Orchestra was of the very
best and the management of the hall,

REASON FOR CHRISTMAS

The observance Of December 20 as
the anniversary of our Savior's birth
has been maintained long enough to
create presumption in the belief that
1t Is an original institution of Christen-
dom. Nevertheless, the Oldest authority
for the observance Of that day as the
birthday of Christ belongs to an epoch
separated by distance of three cen
turtles from the original event, and the
festival itself was celebrated on De-
cember % in the West before 1t was
assigned to that day in the East. It is
certain that in A. d, 1886, December 25
was observed in Rome as the Festival
of the Nativity of Christ. The au-
thority for this statement is q Festal
calendar drawn up by the local
church at Rome in that year. EARLY
in the Third century,. e., about 100
years before the compilation OF this
festal calendar-Hippolytus, Bishop Of
Portus, had assigned Wednesday, De-
cember 25, In the forty-second year Of
the reign of Augustus, as the date Of
our Lords birth.
