ING EXTENSIVE TRIP.

DR.. A. w. Ross, who, with Mrs.
Ross, recently returned from an ex-
tended trip through Canada and the
Western United States, has written
the following article concluding the
series which he wrote for the Gazette
during his absence. The paper and
it's readers are deep in the debt of
DIR. Ross for these accounts of his
trip.
Seattle is wonderful city of $780,
600. A two hour sightseeing drive
is both instructive and delightful. 1t
has three good sized lakes within the
corporation; Lake Washington is said
to be so deep that bottom has not yet
been found. There are two lakes
side by side, one of fresh water and
one of salt. The rise and fall with
in the lakes is from IL to 27 feet ac-
cording to the condition of the tide.
Seattle has wonderful public mar
ket which means much to the people.

struction, and large building going

able days there. On Thursday, Au-
gust 29th we left Seattle at 10 A. M.
and called at Tacoma for few hours.
There we had delightful visit with
Mr.. John Stewart, Mrs. R. M. Camp
bells father, her sister and sister-in-
law. While visiting there my fri
ends of thirty years ago, Mr.. D. S.
MacDon, called with his auto and took
us to his home for an hour before
our train left. 1t was joy for us
to meet him and his family. We just
touched at Portland long enough to
get our tickets validated and recheck

Plays Saturday
GAME WITH HECTOR BILLED
SQUAD DEVELOPES
RAPIDLY.
By Wild Rice.

The Cardinal and White pigskin
tossers pry the lid off the 1924 season
on Saturday when they will clash
with the Hector outfit. The gang
shows steady improvement every day.
Under hard driving by their coach,
Mr.. Hoffert, the boys are displaying
a snap seldom seen in early season
training. The game Saturday at 2:30
P. M. at the fairgrounds will give
the fans chance to take a slant at
a snappy crew.
The afternoon practice sessions
have been drawing considerable
number of fans-men who love foot
ball. Nothing inspires a group of
lads more than to find out that the
town is really interested in them.
If the watcher at practice happens to
be dad" of one of the players, one
of the boys will put bit more snap
into the execution of the plays. The
Dean of Loyal Supporters is Fred
Theiring who has not missed FOOT
ssball practice in over a year-encour-
4 aging the boys to "carry on" Foot
! ball practice without Fred would not
be practice-that's all. DR.. Tom
Finn is out almost every evening giv-
ing the boys encouragement and foot
ball understanding. AS for "pep"
DIR. Tom has it and the boys show it.
kelly Lamberton and Bill Carity
are always on hand helping the mould
ing process. Another faithful fol-
lower is DIR. Inglis who follows the
game of the boys with pep, spirit, and
presence. With business men and
dads out looking on the boys simply
have to catch the spirit and "spirit"
makes the game what it is.
Bear this schedule in mind:
September 20-Hector-here.
September 27-New Ulnl-there.
October 4-Springfeld- there.
October -Olivia-there.
October 1-Windom-there.
October -Montevideo- here.

November 1-Open-(no game to be
scheduled.)
November Sleepy Eye-here.
November 15-St. Peter-here-un-
settled.
November 27-Thanksgiving-Some

This schedule is a heavy one and
some classy football should be seen.

County Supt.
Makes Report
1926 PUPILS ATTEND SCHOOLS
IN REDWOOD COUNTY; MAI
ORITY IN COUNTRY.

County Supt. Fern Kennedy has
completed her annual statistical and
financial report for the schools of the
county for the year ending August
31st.
This report shows that Redwood
county has ten high and graded school
districts and 100 rural districts. There
are, however, 116 school houses.
For the last school year 1926 pu-
pills were enrolled in all the districts
of the county, of which 1869 were in
the town schools and 2,757 were coun-
try pupils. One feature that was de-
cidedly pleasing to the county super
intendent is that the number of pu-
pills not entitled to apportionment was
much smaller last year than the pre-
vious year. For the year just clos
ing POI in high and graded schools
failed to meet the requirements for
apportionment while the year before
the number was 257. In the country
schools still better showing was
made for while 281 failed to qualify
for apportionment the previous year
the total was 407. Miss Kennedy points
out that items like that mean much
to the pupils for it indicates longer
schooling for those who are now get
ting the least schooling.
Of pupils between and 8 years
of age, 500 were reported in town
schools and 729 in rural schools, and
of those between and 16 years L.
$40 are in town and 1870 in the coun-
try. Of pupils over 16 years only So
were enrolled in rural schools while
500 were found in the high and grad.
ed schools The reason for this great
difference is of course understood by
all.
Attendance Improves
The average daily attendance in
the town schools was 2,233, and in
the country 2,01O. The total atten-
dance in days by all was 402,319 in
town and 344,772 in the country. The
average pupil in the country. The
average pupil in the high and graded
schools attended 156 days out of a
possible 180. In the rural schools the
average number of days per pupil
was 125. Miss Kennedy points out to
The Messenger with considerable plea
sure that this figure is an increase of
eight days over the previous year and
indicates a general trend Of more re-

DIsLTKED BY GOETHE
Poet Complained Of POnderOus Syntax
 Of His Native Tongue.

Poet COmpIainod Ot POnderOuS SyntaX
 Of His Native Tongue.
 Among much that is not generally known of Goethe, the greatest of Ger man poets, and that is brought out in Wolfgang Goethe, George Brandes' study in two volumes (Nicholas l.. Brown, New York;, is that Goethe Was not too fond of the German language and gave vent to his dislike in several epigrams.
 In explanation of the epigrams which he quotes, Brandes save: "He (GOethel had reference, not so much to the lack of historic development from which German suffered, as to its ponderOus syntax, is throwing the verb back to the very close of relative proposition, with the result that the reader is obliged to go through several lines before he can tell whether the person that con stitutes the subject of the discussion has been murdered or embraced"
 Klopstock, the great German poet, who was twenty-five years older than Goethe, and who invariably treated Goethe's poetry with contempt, was so much annoyed at the epigrams, that he in turn wrote that if Goethe knew Ger man he would not complain, but that the German language had good cause to complain of Goethe.
