continents possess such a wealth OF
natural resources th; t development
from lost rivers and junGleS to
cultivated civilized state is a matter
of absolute certainty.
III was only 400 years ago that th'
North American continent was dis
covered. 1t took many years to un-
cover the natural resources OF THIS
country, but. once the process began
in earnest, its progress became cunu-
latiye, rolling up like gigantic snow
ball.
Modern Facilities BETTER.
"And so 1t will he in South America
and Africa. only today the nations
and private interests exploring those
continents have powerful advantages
not possessed by the pioneers of our
country. Capital, engineering skill,
transportation, the telephone. the
telegraph, the radio. all the inven-
tions that annihlate time and space,
are the tools with which the work
of transforming south America ana
Africa is being performed today.

possible to live at distance from
their places of employment and to

1t is quite apparent even to the

has already played an important part
in the decentralization OF the resi-

an even greater factor in the i'm

Beth for the business executive
who must meet his appointments on
time and for the factory worker, the
development Of dependable passenger
cars has made residence anywhere
within thirty miles of the business
center easily accessible and economi-
cally sound. Funds formerly expend-
ed in costly city building sites, or in
high rents, are today being divided
between passenger cars and small
homesites or large estates, removed
from the turmoil of city activities.
Growth OF Population.
SO far has the movement already
advanced that stattsticians and other
Investment experts are calling atten-
tion to the rapidly increasing values
of suburban real estate.
More than half century ago the
great railroad building era scattered
the congested population OF the At
Iantic seaboard along these lines Of
rail all the way across the continent.

Since that time there has been no
such reverse movement of popula-
tion as that which we have witnessed
during the last ten years in shifting
Of the population countryward by
motor cars.
According to statistics of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, $4,000 suburban homes in
sixty cities depend upon motor trans
portation. The figures for the re-
mainder of the cities, in which the
survey Is being made. have not yet

LOCAL BUYER FINDS NEW YORI,
SHOPS FULL OF BEAUTIFUL
AND PRACTICAL GARMENTS.

After an interesting visit to the
shops, and stores of New York Mrs.
Gudren Thoen, buyer for The Palace,
has returned to Redwood Falls en-
thusiastic about the many lovely
things offered feminine wearers for
the coming fall and winter seasons.
Many of the exclusive shops of Fifth
Avenue were on her calling list and
here, as well as while dining or lunch
ing at the Waldorf or at the Ritz,
she had an opportunity to see countless
dazzling things as well as the more
practical things designed for every
day wear.
!. For all daytime costumes Mrs.
Thoen found, that the coat dress in
twill, rep or charmeen is taking the
lead-quite doing away with that
old favoritey the suit. These coat
dresses are extremely neat and tMg
and wonderfully becoming to the ma
jority of the wearers. A fine line of
them will be shown in a very short
time at the store for which Mrs. Thoen
buys.
For the more formal afternoon wear
some clever frocks in velvet and satin
backed canton are shown. These are
all possessed of the new TERED or
draped skirts and are most attractive
By the way Mrs. Thoen brings back
the welcome word that while evening
dresses are ankle length, the street
dress and informal dresses are short
at least six or eight inches from the
floor.

Stock Pavilion
Being RemodeIed
BUILDING WILL BE USED AS
DANCE HALL EVENINGS
DURING THE FAIR.

The stock pavilion at the Redwood
County fair grounds is being remodel
ed so that it can be used as a dance
hall evenings during the fair. The
ground has been leveled and five
inch base of concrete laid. A dane
ing floor of hard maple will be put
in. At one side there will be an
elevated orchestra stand and a check
room and refreshment stand will be
erected outside the door in order to
have the entire space inside for dane,
ing. The floor will be sanded dowr
and put in the best possible shape
1t will give space seventy feet ir
diameter for the dancers.
This will not interfere with the
pavilion being used for the judging
of stock during the day. The flool
will be covered with a thick layer OF
sawdust and this will be removed
when the judging is over and the
place made ready for the dance ir
the evening.
Other buildings on the fair grounds
are being put in tip-top shape fol
the fair. Some. are being repaintet
and necessary improvements are be-
ing made The stalls have been tori
down in the cattle barn and managers
put in. This is a needed improve
ment since the exhibitors are being
asked to pay for the hay used anc
without hangers great deal will be
wasted. Everything that will help tt
make the Redwood County Fair the
biggest and best in Minnesota is be-
ing done.
