CLASSES SETTLED.

The 1924-25 school season opened
with considerable spirit on Tuesday
morning, Sept. 2. The entire High
School student body, former students
and friends met in a general assem-
bly, where the customary program
was enjoyed. The members OF tie
Board of Education and the High
School faculty delivered some very
timely and very interesting speeches.

members of the Board and the faculty.
The registration this year is the
heaviest in years. To date 255 stu
dents have enrolled in the High School
proper The Senior class is the larg-
est in the history of the school, there
being nearly sixty in the class. The
Juniors can claim sixty or more, the
Sophomore roll about 81 and the
Freshmen roster will total 76 names.
The registration from the country
roundabout is exceedingly heavy.
SeafOrth and Clements contributed an
unusually large quota.
Due to the demand for Latin this
year an extra class was organized.
Another Spanish I class has been
started and also an extra Algebra l
and Home Economic l class were
formed. The registration in the ac-
ademic classes has been extremely
heavy and all classes are filled to
capacity.
The spirit of optimism of the stu
dent body angus well for good
year. Classes starting out with re-
citations on Wednesday, found a
spirit Of cooperation between stu
dents and faculty. No time has
been lost in getting down to routine
work, and the congestion was quickly
adjusted.
The enrolment for the grade school
has been the average. While tht
classrooms are scattered the younger
folks quickly found their places anc
everything is running smoothly.

REDWOOD MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY SEPT
Health Truck W ws.s~dinal and White
to Visit Fair Has Good Prospects
PHYSICIAN FROM HEALTH AS
ISOLATION TO GIVE SERVICE
TO VISITORS SEPT. % TO rs.


Health will have an important place
on the program at the Redwood Coun-
ty Fair. The Travelling Clinic of the
Minnesota Public Health Association
has been secured for the fair and
will arrive at Redwood Falls Sept.
% and stay for five days. The Clinic
is coming under the auspices of the
Redwood County Public Health As
sociation, of which Mrs. C. w. Bel
vile, Tracy, is president, and Mrs.
T. E. Finn, Redwood Falls, is secre-
tary. It's services will be entirely
free to the public, the cost being borne
out of Christmas Seal funds of the
local association. Miss Lucille JOS
ceyln, executive secretary of theChild
Welfare Board, Redwood Falls, is in
charge of local arrangements.
The Travelling Clinic is part of the
statewide campaign for the prevent
ion of disease and the promotion OF
health, and offers an opportunity for
a free physical examination and health
advice, suited to the particular needs
of the patient. The examiner, who
is competent physician from the
staff of the state association, gives
no treatment and his examination Is
just preliminary one. 1t is, how
ever, sufficient to. tell whether or not
person is physically fit, or if there
is some disorder, which should be cor
rected. Prevention is cheaper and
better. than cure" is the clinic slogan
and its work is to large extent edu-
cational, teaching the value of periodic
physical examination, which insures
the discovery of tuberculosis, cancer,
and other diseases in the early stag
es, when they are readily durable. A
realization that thousands of need
less deaths were occurring each year
from preventable and durable diseases
because most people delay going to
the doctor too long led the State As
sociation to start this clinic to carry
Health on Wheels" into every corner
of the state. Persons needing treat
nlent are referred to their family
physician.

lat Redwood Fair
BROWN COUNTY RESIDENTS
LOOKING FORWARD TO EVENT
OF SEPTEMBER 1926.

The management of the Orpheus
band of Springfield Monday received
the good news that the local musical
organization had been chosen bv the
directors of the Redwood County Agri-
cultural society to render the musical
program for one-day engagement at
the annual county fair to be held at
Redwood Falls Sept. % to 26, inclu-
sive.
Secretary w. A. Hauck of the Red
wood County Agricultural society in
communication to Ed. Vogel, manager
of the Orpheus band, stated that the
fair board had gladly accepted the
services of the local band and hoped
that it would be convenient for many
of our citizens to accompany the mu-
sicians to the fair.
The date assigned to the Orpheus
band is Wednesday, Sept. "a. Two
bands have been engaged for each day
of the fair with the exception OF
Wednesday and the live-wire secretary
states the only competition the local
band will experience on that day Will
be the merry-go-round.
Interesting horse races will be fea-
tured during four days of the fair,
which the secretary states will be real
races. The free attractions this year
will be above the average, with a COM
plete change of program on Thursday.
This is a new venture this year and
should materially add to the attract
iveness of the entertainment program.
Auto polo and push ball exhibitions
IL 4o nf
and complete afternoon and evening
programs will be given.
The agricultural, industrial and
home economics departments will also
embrace some of the finest exhibits
ever, shown at the neighboring fair,
for which substantial premiums will
be offered. Local breeders and agrl-
culturists are zealously looking for
ward to the coming exposition and
contemplate entering livestock and
farm products in competition with the
hundreds who annually make splen-
did showing.
A friendly and neighborly relation
ship has always existed among the
residents of West Brown county to-
ward the promoters of the REDWOOD
county fair and hundreds of residents
from this city and community have
enjoyed the yearly demonstrations
given at Redwood Falls.
, In view of the fact that the Orpheus
: band has again been selected as one
of the drawing cards at the Redwoo1

Aged Couple Killed
in Auto Accident
]. L. BROWN AND WIFE OF IRE
TON, IOWA, MET DEATH
NEAR OLIVIA.

J. L. Brown and wife, an aged
couple whose home was at Ireton, Ia,
met death in an automobile accident
which occurred one and one half mile
south of Olivia on State highway Nc.
4, Thursday afternoon, August 2Sth.
Mr.. Brown, who was rs years of age,
and his wife, 65, were making drive
from their hcme at Ireton to Mliaca,
Mimi. to visit two sons who reside
there. They were driving Ford
car and when close to Olivia, they
came onto a stretch of loose sand and
in which the car skidded and turned
turtle, throwing the occupants to the
ground and righting itself on the
road. The unfortunate people were
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Wright
and other Redwood Falls residents.
The first car to come along after
the accident was an owa party GO
ing south and, after rendering first
aid, sent in a call to Olivia for doc
tor from the home of Mrs. Novak.
Several town people, hearing of the
accident, hurried out to give aid and
the injured couple were brought to
town and made as comfortable as
possible at the Wetzel boarding house.
Both suffered internal injuries and,
while they were conscious after the
accident, it was apparent that the in
juries were fatal.
The accident occurred at about 4
O'Clock p. m. and Mr.. Brown died
about three hours later. Mrs. Brown
lived until ten o'clock that evening
and before passing away was able to
give information concerning their
home and relatives in Iowa and their
sons at Milaca. Word was sent to
the relatives and the remains were

Candidate Utters h..
Much "DriveI''
ATTY. SWANJORD, OPPOSING
CLAGUE, USED MUD BATTERI-
ES IN SPEECH AT MORGAN.
fFrom MORGAN Messenger)

Atty. o. F. Swanjord of Slayton,
Farmer-Labor candidate for congress,
opened the campaign in Morgan with
speech last Saturday evening. Mr..
Swanjord took advantage of the
street concert to give his speech here
and was Accommodated with forty
five minute intermission during which
he spoke from the portable band
stand. Evidently the crowd wanted
music rather than politics for only
a few gathered about the speaker.
Mr.. Swanjord had but very little
to say about the platform of the Far
mer-Labor party further than to say
it was progressive and would be car
ried out to the letter. He gave his
old love, the Democrats, slap or two
on the wrist but reserved his mud
batteries for the Republicans. He
said the Republicans hadn't passed a
constructive act or done one single
thing for the masses but the admin
stration was trying to make serfs of
the people for the benefit of Wall
street. He made no reference to the
record of Congressman Clague but he
simply stated that while it was claim
ed by some that Mr.. Clague is more
experienced than he and better qu-
alifed to serve the people in congress,
yet he would not want to be identified
with a party that did nothing but
plunder the people, etc.
The speaker remarked that there
was time when the Republican party
was honest and alright but that was
fifty years ago. He also said the
Republican party was responsible for
the depressed market conditions Of
the past few years and should be
charged with billions of dollars worth
of losses which the farmers suffered.
This year he said conditions are much
better but he cautioned his hearers
against giving the administration any
credit as he felt it was due to world
wide conditions. Some people, Mr.
Swanjord stated, believe that the ad-
ministration had decreed that nigh
prices for farm products should pre-
vail this season to debauch the farm
ers into voting for the Republican
party next November. He cared not
what the cause was, but was sure the

Bridge
to Be Paved
STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
LET'S CONTRACT AT COST
OF $2,153.7O.

Road Engineer John O'Meara states
that the large bridge across the Red
wood River at Redwood Falls is to
be repaired and paved within the I'M
mediate future, the contract for this
work having been let to the Adams
Construction Company of Minneapo-
lis. This contract was let. by the
State Highway Commission, the bridge
being part of State Highway No IA,
and the work to be done thereon will,
be at the exnense of the State CON-
mission. The contract amounting to
$2,153.7O was let September End.
The biggest part of the contract
deals with the paving Of the floor of
the bridge. A fve-inch concrete sur
facing will be put on, and this will
remedy the trouble with the draining
which has caused mud and water 10
settle on the bridge floor and re-
suited in deep holes and ruts. Be-
cause of the sand and gravel which
have been used to surface the bridge,
the drains constantly became cloggeu
during heavy rains and gave very
imperfect service.
The other work to be done on the
bridge consists of repairs to the arch
which has been damaged more or less
by the effect of frost. Earlier con-
struction of concrete bridges did not
allow for frost expansion and con-
traction as does presentday construc-
ton, and the lack of such provision
makes it necessary for all older
bridges to be repaired after several
years of "weathering".
During the work of paving, traffic
will at no time be entirely stopped,
although it will be somewhat hinder
ed One section of the bridge will
be paved while the other is kept open
for travel, and with consideration and
judgment on the part of motorists
and teamsters there will be no rea-
son for any considerable delay nor
for any accidents. Work will be
started at once.
It was only about month ago that
application was made by Mayor W.
7. Wilcox to the State Highway
Commission for the work on this
bridge. The fact that the contract
was let so speedily speaks well for
the efficiency Of that body and Of.
