Creamery Opening
P. j. KOLBET HONORED BY
SPEAKERS AT ARMORY PRO-
GRAM THURSDAY EVENING.
LUNCHEON SERVED.
L. S. WILSON, A. ]. OLSON, LYNN
SHELDON AMONG SPEAKERS
ON DAIRY TOPICS.

The Kolbet Dairy Company's splen-
did creamery was formally dedicated
to its future as the center of the
greatest of Redwood County's in
dustries at public meeting held at
the armory last Thursday evening.
While the creamery has been occupied
for the past several weeks, many
people inspected it for the first time
last Friday and everyone who visited
it spoke most appreciatively of it's
completeness both as to structure and
equipment. 1t was open for this in
spection all through the afternoon and
evening. All the speakers Of the eve
ming paid tribute to P. j. Kolbet, the
proprietor of the creamery, for his
business enterprise and his service to
the community.
The meeting opened with music by
the Scenic City Band. H. A. Baldwin
who presided at the meeting then in
troduced County Agent Lynn Sheldon
who spoke briefly on the topic of cow
testing associations. Mr.. Sheldon's
talk made clear the advantages of a
number of farmers banding together
for the purpose of such testing, rather
than for individual farmers to en-
deavor to keep the records. He spoke
briefly of the very successful testing
association now in operation in the
Morgan community. Twenty-six
farmers may be admitted to each as
sociation and the cost is thirty-six
dollars year-in one instance
farmer paid his association dues from
the amount saved in cream after the
tester had adjusted the cream separat-
or which the farmer had not realized
was wasting cream.
L. S. Wilson of the State University
Extensions department was the next
speaker who paid his tribute to the
dairy cow. Mr.. Wilson stated en-
phatically that good management, good
marketing and good cows are the re-
quirements that make dairying a sue
cess and made the statement that sit
is the fellow who owns the cow who
is to blame for inefficiency".
Dairy products depend entirely up
on the quality of the cow and the
speaker contrasted the scrub cow who
produces only hundred fifty pounds
of butter fat per year with her pure
bred sister who produces six huE-

.iIInar Defeats
Legion Team
SUNDAYS GAME ENDS IN LO
GALS FIRST DEFEAT IN
THREE YEARS.

Sunday afternoon saw the Legion
defeated for the first time in three
years. Willmar had trained all sea-
son for the game with Redwood and
felt mighty proud when the final
whistle blew, finding the score 13 to
in their favor. The game was played
at WilImar.
The first quarter the ball was kept
in the middle of the field and it see
sawed back and forth. Towards the
end of the quarter Willnar made a
few breaks through the line and
around the end and carried the ball
up to RedwoQd's one yard line. Here
Redwood held them and on Willmar's
first two trys they did not make a
thing. The quarter ended and the
ball was taken to the other end of
the field where Willmar managed to
put it over at the beginning of the
second quarter.
In the second quarter Redwood tried
to even things up and several times
it looked as if a touchdown was cer-
tain but Willmar was always on the
job to stop the play. The ball was
kept in Willmar's territory the whole
quarter.
The last half Redwood came back
with the intentions of scoring but
were kept from it by the powerful
Willmar line.
The third quarter was the best
quarter Of the game as both teams
gave every thing they had. Redwood
played nearly the length of the field
several times in this quarter only to
be stopped within a few yards of a
touchdown. Willmar rooters were
pretty quiet this quarter as their team
was being outplayed in every way
Redwood tried several passes this
period and completed some but. the
Willmar backs had both eyes open
and were well coached in that form
of the game.
The last quarter Willmar started
another attack and made good ground
for while but were forced to punt
Redwood wasn't able to pierce Will
mars line for many gains then and
they punted the ball back up the field.
Willmar then managed to make about
twenty yards on an end run bringing
the ball to about the center of the
field. They then completed some
passes for good gains and put the
ball over for the last touchdown OF
the game.
Redwood tried to even up the score
in the last few minutes of the game
but were not able to get away with
the ball for a big gain as there was
little time left and they were unable

Special Election
Held Nov. 9Th
BOARD OF EDUCATION RESOLV-
ES TO CALL FOR VOTE ON
$4,000 BOND ISSUE.

Elsewhere in this issue Of THE GA
ZETTE will be found the resolution
passed at the October twenty-fourth
meeting of the Board of Education of
Redwood Falls, relative to the special
election to be held between the hours
of two and nine o'clock November
9th. Such resolution was passed
because it is "expedent and neces-
sary to erect a school building in said
district" The aggregate amount OF
the bonds necessary to the erection OF
this building is $175,O0O.Q0. .
Sometime ago the grade school
building was condemned by an in
spector from the State Board of Edu-
building unfit for use, being unsani-
tary, a fire menace and unsafe as
structure. A thorough canvas Of the
situation has been made by the Board
of Education and the Superintendent
of Schools and the decision voiced in
the Resolution adopted is the result
of that canvas. A careful study of
the resolutions, visit to the grade
school building and thoughtful con-
sideration of the situation and it's
bearings on the present and on the
future, are all essential if an intelli-
gent vote is to be registered Novem-
Der 9th. The men and women in
charge of the matter were made men,
bers of the Board of Education be-
cause of their intelligent citizenship
and their heartfelt interest in public
progress. The decisions which they
have reached after the expenditure of
so much time and effort are worthy
of the earnest and unprejudiced study
of every voting member of the COM
munity.

Minnesota Man
Succeeds Harvey
SENATOR FRANK KELLOGG TEN
DERED APPOINTMENT BY
PRESIDENT.

Frank B. Kellogg, of ST. Paul, for
mer United States senator from Min
nesota, has been selected for Ameri-
can ambassador to London.
He will succeed George Harvey, who
recently resigned, and the appoint
ment is expected to become effective
in the near future. Present announce
ments are that Mr.. and Mrs. Kellogg
will sail November 10th.
Mr.. Kellogg, who was one of the
little coterie of personal friends who
accompanied the late President Hard
ing on most of his trips away from
Washington and was frequent guest
at the White House during the Hard
ing administration is lawyer by
profession. During the single term
he served in the senate he devoted
considerable attention to the foreign
affairs, was leader of the mild re-
servationist" in the Versailles treaty
fight and served as member of the
foreign relations committee.
Reparations Question Up
Although Ambassador Harvey said
the other day he would leave the Lon
don post with his desk "clean," his
successor now seems certain to find
heavy burdens awaiting him. Of first
Importance among the negotiations
in which he will have a part stands
the reparations difficulty. Ambas-
sador Harvey is retiring at a time
when there has been revival of the
efforts to induce the United States to
participate in some plan for the ad-
justment of the reparations tangle,
and whether the plan of settlement
proposed by the British premier meets
with success or not, Mr.. Kellogg will
have much to do before a final work
ing out of the problem is possible
Delicate Negotiations Seen
In the event conference is called,
or an economic commission created
to determine Germany's capacity to
pay reparations, the American am
bassador at London is sure to find
himself involved in many delicate
negotiations.
Second among the questions Mr..
Kellogg will be compelled to take up
is that of the reciprocal treaty agree
ments proposed by Secretary Hughes
to deal with prohibition enforcement.
Another question pending between
the United States and Great Britain
is determination of the status of
Tangier under the act Of Algeciras
The United States recently communi-
Gated to London and other European
capitals an outline of it's views, in
which the fiat statement was made
that the open door policy must govern
final international conclusions as tc
Tangier.
The London embassy, under the new
ambassador, probably will have te
deal with some phases of the Lin
cheng bandit outrage settlement ii
China. Although the diplomatic
corps in Peking is handling these
negotiations directly, the government:
represented in the corps have close
ly related interest in the negotiations
and continuously are interchangins
views on the matter.

Va, shall Team
Beats Redwood
LOCAL LADS BOW TO THEIR OLD
RIVALS TO THE TUNE OF
33 TO Z.

Last Saturday afternoon the local
High School Team played the heavy
Marshall outfit on the latter's Grid
iron. The field having been rained
and showed on most of the day and
during the game was very muddy,
and Redwood being outweighed twen-
ty pounds to the man, could not make
much headway.
Marshall with the heaviest and best
team they have had in years was
determined to win. The game start
ed with Marshall hitting the line for
five and six yards at crack. Red
wood then frightened up and gave all
that they had to hold them but Mar
shall managed to score touchdown
after about ten minutes of playing.
Redwood then chose to receive but
was held for downs and compelled
to punt. Marshall, then taking the
ball and not making much ground,
tried a fake which didn't work as
it should, the ball being fumbled. C.
Schmid picked the ball up and ran
fifty yards for a touchdown. The try
for point after touchdown was sue
cessful, making the score seven to
seven at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter Marshall scored
two more touchdowns, the half ending
twenty-one to seven.
The second half Redwood came back
and opened up with some passes and
made some good gains but this could
not be depended upon as the ball was
wet and muddy. In this half Mar
shall rang up two more touchdowns
and Redwood, try as they would,
couldn't account for any. Marshall's
weight was great advantage to them
on the wet field but they also had a
good team, having been defeated but
once and this defeat coming from
Monte.
