DR.. lOChead Gives
Splendid Talk
NT-TEACHERS HOLD AN
NUAL MEETING; MRS. w. H.
BALL ELECTED PRESIDENT.

One of the most instructive talks
residents of Redwood Falls have been
privlledged to hear in many months
was the talk on Public Health given
at the Parent-Teachers Association
meeting Monday evening. The
speaker was DR.. D. C. Lochead, Field
Secretary of the Minnesota Public
Health Association, and he spoke as
one with much authority on the mea-
sures to be used and the precautions
to be taken in the prevention of dis
ease.
Before the speaker of the evening
was introduced short business meet
ing was held and several musical num-
bers given. Assembly singing was
led by A. F. Dahlberg. The annual
reports of secretary and treasurer
were then read and approved and the
report of the committee was heard.
TINS committee named as officers for
the coming year Mrs. w. H. Ball,
president; Mrs. C. A. Fobes, vice pre-
sident; Miss Berdan, secretary and
Mrs. Jos. Corbett, treasurer. Mrs.
Bail made short talk on the coopera-
tion needed in a Parent-Teachers as
sociation and upon the opportunity
such an association offers for service.
Mrs. Farver, the retiring president,
made brief statement and repeated
the Parents Greed. Miss Edna West
phal read a cutting from Kate Dou-
glas Wiggin's PatSy. Mrs. G. L.
Grapp and A. F. Dahlberg sang two
selections with Miss Hazel Malmquist
.accompanying. At the close of DIR.
Lochead's talk Mrs. John O'Meara
sang two selections with Miss Nora
Rain accompanying.
This meeting marked the close of
Mrs. C. L. Farver's three years of
faithful service as the presiding Of
ficer of the Association. During that
time she has done a service Of in
estimable value to the parents and
children and much of the. success of
the Association has come through her
careful study of its problems, her
careful arrangement of programs and
attention to the many details that
make for success in such an organiza-
tion. All this work on the part of
Mrs. Farver was recognized in the
gracious little tribute paid her by her
successor, Mrs. Ball, in her brief talk
DR.. Lochead's talk was educational
and dealt with many phases of disease
prevention. He urged the vacinna-
tion Of all people for small pox, for
typhoid fever and alss urged the use

Local Highs
WaIlop Olivia
ALLOW OLIVIA TO MAKE BUT
ONE FIELD GOAL IN
FRIDAY GAME.

The High School after finding out
they could play basketball, by their
good showing at Morgan, went over
TO Olivia Friday night and cleaned UP
on them to the tune of II to 6.
IIosken started the game right by
getting the -tipoff for his team and
after about two minutes of play he
sank in nice side shot. Olivia got
lot of chances for foul goals and
after several attempts managed tp
make two points by that method. At
ter some more floor work and a few
shots at the basket the quarter ended
2 and 2.
The second quarter Redwood put
on little more speed and were care
fui not to make any bad passes and
as result Olivia got but l point
while Redwood was getting 5. Cole
did some hard battling in this period
but couldn't seem to connect with the
basket, he did some good playing
however. Englund playing his usual
good game was watched closely by
Olivia every time Redwood got con-
troll of the ball. The half ended 7 to
8 in favor of Redwood.
The third quarter the Olivia outfit
did some real battling to bring up
their score but great defensive work
by Capt. Manning and company held
them down to points. Cole dropped
in a foul goal and the period ended
8 to in favor of Redwood.
Corbett was given a chance the last
quarter and managed to sink the bal
through the rim for 2 counts. Red
wood tried stalling game for while
to draw Olivia's defense down and II
worked we'll. A foul goal was scored
for Redwood and although they tried
some long ones they couldn't seem te
make any more. The conflict ending

One of these is set aside as the sec
retary's office, and the other is used
for ladies' rest room. A large cem-
ent structure, 1O0x36 feet, and used
for many years as a horse barn, has
been converted into an exhibit room
To- boys and girls club work. An
other large cement barn of the same
size is utilized for the exhibiting Of
beef cattle and a large frame building
100X30 feet contains ample space for
the dairy cattle exhibit. The swine
exhibits are housed in a large frame
structure 96x42 feet. However, in the
past few years, the exhibits have been
so extensive that it has been necessary
to construct 90 outside pens. Twenty
sheep pens provide sufficient quart
ers for this exhibits.
Special School Building.
In 1915, the school districts of the
county erected slightly cement build
ing for the purpose of exhibiting the
work done in the schools. This splen-
did project, costing 81 10000, is a de-
cidedly progressive move, and speaks
highly of the character of the educa-
tional work done in the county. An
other splendid structure on the fair
grounds is the big circular dance hall
and sales pavilion. During the sales
season, canvas may be spread over

saw dust, making complete protec-
ticn for the splendid dance floor while
the stock is exhibited and the sale
conducted. A large grand stand, with
a seating capacity of over 1000, is
located to the north and east OF the
other buildings. The main part is OF
cement construction and it is f1anked
on either side by long rows of bleach
er seats. Several private firms also
have very neat permanent buildings
erected on the grounds where they
exhibit their wares during the fair
time.
Splendid Stock Shows.
The live stock exhibits at the 1928
fair were particularly attractive ana
proved, beyond a doubt that dairy
cattle and hogs are rapidly increasing
in popularity throughout this section
of the state. An unofficial list shows
that the following entries were made
In the cattle division there were 20
Shorthorns, % Herefords, 2 Guern-
seys, 21 Brown Swiss, and 26 Hols-
teins, for which premiums amounting
to SS49.OO were awarded. The sheep
exhibits were not so impressive, there

Morgan with its usual strong girls
team were figuring on making a big
score on the Redwood bunch but hard
and consistent playing on the par.
of Redwood's whole team kept them
from doing so. Morgan was f1rst to

worked the ball up to the basket and
c. Nogaj dropped one in which even

an enviable reputation extending over
many counties in southwestern Min
nesota, and today it is conceded to be
the equal to any county in the state.
The dates on which the Redwood
County Fair was held last year were

nesota's fall days prevailed during
this big festival, and record breaking
crowds greeted each days program OF
exhibits, horse racing, free entertain

total attendance for the five days was
approximately $4,000, with Thursday
breaking all county fair attendance
records, with over 5000 passing
through the gates.
The First Fair.
The original Redwood County Agri-
cultural Society, which fathers this
big weeks entertainment, was organ
lied over fifty years ago and held its
first fair on a tract Of land on the
west side of the Redwood River. In
1882 the society was reorganized and
Incorporated, and a tract of 80 acres
was purchased, this being the present
site Of the fair ground. For many
years thereafter, a fair was held each
year. However, finances were SO hare
to obtain that the fair grounds were
temporarily abandoned in 1902 anc
during the next few years, street fairs
were held in Redwood Falls, with
agricultural exhibits in the Court
House.
In 1911, reorganization was made
the old grounds were again purchased
and the present splendid county fail
inaugurated. The half mile track
which is considered the best in the
state, was improved at a cost Of 81,

Will Tea Pot Dome Probe Be
Blocked by Ancient Trick?

The expected has happened-out
from nowhere comes the news that "the
people are weary of Teapot Dome"
When a probe gets hot; when it
strikes pay dirt, then the cry is heard,
The people are tired of the mess; let us
stop; this hurts government"
The rogues in high places do not
think of government until they fear ex-
poSure.
The daily press quotes one we'll
known stel manufacturer that Teapot
Dome is hurting business.
This manufacturer, who sold defec-
tive armor plate to the government
does not explain how publicity of wrong
can injure business.
The people are merely told that it
does. No reason is given. They are ex-
pected to take up the cry.
They are supposed to believe that
their jobs will be affected, or that the
public will spend less money if group

graft, purchased influence and private

To be classed with the "somebodies"

boredom is quite the proper attitude to-
