gentlemen on the field OF battle;
true, chivalrous knights Of the pig

In the dressing room of the

Think of meeting Northwest

Any ordinary team ought to
look easy for the L. u. football
ers who are used to opposing the

a good club, but it wasn't half
good enough for the team that has
been meeting the Purple and
Irish all season.
Indiana is slowly coming along
in it's grid development. 1t may
have been a good thing to en-
counter such strong competi-
ton this year. Coach Pat Page
is the doughty engineer of the
Crimson train on the uphill
climb. Slowly, but surely, the
movement is upward-even in
defeat.
1t has been said by all who have
seen I. U. play this year that
the eleven never quit. Even
when opponents ran up points at

contest almost hopelessly out Of

nine months in the year; in sc schools
the term is for eight months. There
is still one district which has seven
month term although school officials
have promised that this shall be
changed at the annual school election.
There are now three accredited high
schools in the county, Milroy having
been added to the list just this year.
Being accredited means hat school
must do the full four years of high
school work and employ none but col

Milroy to have achieved this is UNI

The other two accredited schools are
at Lamberton and Redwood Falls.
1t is also most creditable that none
but first grade teachers are employed
in the rural schools of the county, as
well as in the graded schools. The
average salary for the graded school
teacher is $145.47 per month while
the rural teacher gets an average of
$100.76. Twenty-Five of the rural
school teachers have been employed
in the same schools for three years
or more, thirty-seven of them for two
years while sixty-six of them taught
their first terms in the various dis
tricts last year. Shifting of teach

CLINIC HELD. AT
WALNUT GROVE
THURS. JULY %
FREE MEDICAL EXAMINATION
OF INFANTS AND CHILDREN
TO BE MADE NEXT WEEK;
MANY DEFECTS FOUND.

Infants and children are going to
have an opportunity for free medical
examinations at clinic arranged by
the Redwood County Public Health
Association as part Of it's Christmas
Seal work. This clinic will be held
at Walnut Grove Thursday July Doth,
from nine to four o'clock with Mrs.
Earl Jameson acting as chairman.
The purpose of the free clinics,
which are being financed by Christ
mas Seal funds, is to extend informa-
ton on proper care of children; to
find unsupported defects and to urge
prompt treatment; and to teach the
value of periodic medical examina-
lions.
1t is urged that all anaemic and
underweight children, and others who
for any reason seem to be below par
physically, be brought to the clinic
for examination. Chieldren who have
at any period of their lives been ex-
posed to tuberculosis for prolong-
ed period are particularly asked to
come.
The examiner will be physician
who specializes in children's work
sent out by the Minnesota Public
Health Association. Each child will
be thoroughly examined; any defects
will be called to the attention of par
ents, and those needing medical at
tention will be referred to the family
physician.
Poor posture was one of the COM
mon defects among the 115 children
examined at the recent Free Child
ren's Clinic held in Redwood Falls
under the auspices of the County Pub
lie Health Association. This infor-
nation was contained in report OF
the clinic just received from the Min
nesota Public Health Association

RELIEF CONFAB
PLANNED FOR
TWO DAY SESSION

eral prosperity of the Northwest
should be concerned about the prob
lem of securing real agricultural re-
lief, and this conferenc. affords an
opportunity to take part in the work
of bringing it about.
The call for the conference has been
issued by representatives of the
American Council of Agriculture, the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation,
the Farmers Union Terminal Asso-
citation, the Minnesota Wheat Grow
ers Cooperative Marketing Associa-
ton, the Corn Belt Committee and
the Equity Cooperative Exchange.
The national COMMITTEES of farm
organizations has carried on a gal
liant fight in Washington to secure
equality for the farmers and this eff
fort will continue at the next session
of congress. In furtherance Of this
campaign, and for the purpose of sup
porting the agricultural program to
make existing tariffs effective on ag-
neutrality-suspicious. through an equal
ization fee and a federal farm board,
this Minnesota conference has been
called in the belief that the principles
of this plan are fundamental to Sc
cure real agricultural relief, as well
as general prosperity.
1t is hoped that the result of this
conference will be the perfecting in
Minnesota of an organization, repres-
the farm organizations of IL Missis-
entative of all interests and classes, to
further this common cause.
Minnesota was represented July 10
and 20 at meeting in Des Moines of
sippi Valley states to review the gains
made in the fight for farm legislation
and to map a program for the coming
year. Among those from this state
who attended were. F. w. Murphy of

Committee, j. F. Reed of the Mime

Short Pasture Crop Is
8; Hits Cattle Market

The dry weather conditions this
season in western Minnesota and the
Dakotas has produced an exceptional
ly heavy run of cattle shipments for
this year, according to j. S. Mont
gomery, general manager of the Cen
trail Cooperative Commission associa-
tion at South St. Paul.
This dumping of cattle onto the
market has resulted In a break of
from 75c to $1.00 hundred on grass
cattle, and 25c to soc on dry feds. The
Central Association recommends that,
insofar as conditions will permit, that
cattle be held back on the farms for
a few weeks: In some cases this will
necessitate the purchase of feed.

the term and sometimes the other re-
suits of such shifting are even more
distasterous. lightweight of the
young women teaching in the schools
of the county are graduates Of normal
training classes either in Redwood
County or neighboring counties. These
young women are, Miss Jensen as
serts, among the very best of the
teachers who come under her super
vision.
One of the depressing items of the
report is the showing of the very
large number Of children between the
ages of eight and sixteen who do not
attend school regularly. In the rur-
al school there were 1896 children be-
tween these ages enrolled and only
1852 attended regularly, Miss Jensen
explaining that by regularly" is
meant an attendance two-thirds of
the time. This is much too large a
number disregarding the law which
states that children between these
ages MUST attend school each year.
Any parent who does not see to this
attendance lays himself liable to the
payment of considerable fine. And
yet parents are constantly keeping
children out from one to three or four
days each week to help with various
work about the homes or farms. Some
of these pupils remain away from
school for weeks at time during the
busy season of the year. School Of
ficers and teachers throughout the
county are remiss in not reporting
such cases and having the offenders
fully punished.
District No. 116 is the only school
in the rural class which next year
will get the superior State Aid which
is $125 in addition to all other state
aid. This additional aid is given
schools employing graduate from
the advanced courses of State Teach
ers College for it's teacher, having in
door toilets of approved sanitary
type, having nine months term of
school, giving instruction in agricul-
ture and home training and also hav-
ing the pupils examined by trained
nurse.

he knew it and every one knew it, he
made no claim that he. was not doing
it, but even though the young man
ruined several balls by his simple
method his mates could not gather
enough hits off Winsell to win for

DIES SUNDAY AT
HIS HOME HERE

Surviving also are Mr.. Cooper's
three sisters and two brothers. These
are Mrs Laura Shelly, Mrs. Sarah
Guy and Mrs Minnie Danman all of
Sparta, Wis, Mr.. E. W. Cooper of
Lowry, Mo-, and Mr.. A. w. Cooper of
Barron, Wis.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper lived continu-
ously in the same block ever since
coming to Redwood Fails in 1856.
During Mr.. Cooper's residence here
he served as County Commissioner of
Redwood County for eight years, act
ing as chairman of that body for sew
en- years. For three years he was
mayor of Redwood Falls and for
twenty years prominent member of
the Board of Education. He was a
charter member of the Redwood Falls
Lodge No. AZ Knights of Pythias and
was also active in other city clubs.
He was a member of the Presbyter-
ian Church of Redwood Falls and serv-
ed on the Board of-Trustees for a
number of years. His judgment in
all respects was highly regarded by
his townspeople and he wi! be great
ly missed as a wise councillor in bust
ness, civic and church circles. He won
the respect of his associates by the
keenness of his business insight, his
stalwart qualities of character and by
his conservative judgment. Through
troublesome and trying financial
times his sane thinking kept the bank
ing institution which he headed steady
and safe until it is today one of the
strongest of the country banks OF
the northwest. Mr.. Cooper was pow
er for growth in his community and
county and the bank which he
strengthened throughout the years of
his association with it is a symbol of
these attributes. In his private life
Mr.. Cooper was exemplary, the kind
est of husbands and fathers, devoted
at all times to his family and to the
chosen few whom he admitted to his
close friendship.
