THEODORE WIRTH

ED ON VISIT HERE; ADVO-
GATES STATE PARK COM,

'"Your Ramsey State Park is we'll
worth the motor trip from Minneapo-
lis and l only regret that had not
made the trip long ago." said Theo-
dore Wirth of Minneapolis during his
visit to Redwood Falls last Thursday.
Mr.. Wirth is superintendent of the
Minneapolis Park System and came to
visit Ramsey Park and Redwood
Falls city parks at the invitation of
H. M. Hitchcock. In. the party with
him were Mr.. Hitchcock and three
members of the Minneapolis Park
Board. A complete tour of the Parks
was made under the direction of Mr..
Hitchcock and Jos. Tyson, and Mr..
Wirth and his party then met with
members of the Ramsey Park Board
at luncheon at the Ramsey Hotel.
Following the luncheon Mr.. Wirth
gave a short talk suggesting methods
by which the park properties here
may be improved and their value to
the public increased. A point greatly
stressed by the superintendent was
that lands suitable for park purposes
should be acquired before their natur-
al beauties are destroyed, even though
years must lapse before improvements
are made.
Mr.. Wirth found much upon which
to congratulate those responsible for
the development of the parks here,
in that thus far nothing has been done
which in any way spoils the natural
features which are the parks chief
assets. "You have" he said, "many
very beautiful features which | should
like to transport to Minneapolis, and
features which even the parks of Chi
cago and New York cannot emulate.
It is the chief charm of these features
that they have been kept absolutely
natural, and l advise the adding of
only those artificial features that are
absoluate necessary" Mr.. Wirth re-
GREETED the necessity which is respon-
Sible for the erection of the shelter
buildings which detract so greatly
from the sylvan beauty of the park
and suggested that no more of these
be erected.
1t was also his suggestion that no
more roadways be built unless re-
quired to reach special points of beau

Gods-winter came hard and bit

early, their peach crops failed. 9th
er tribes came to loot and kill many
Hopis and carry away numerous
sheep and cattle. The burning sun
dried up their springs of water and
the Chiefs grew desperate. They
decided to hold a council. The
Chiefs and wise men came haggard

winter as punishment. 1t was
decided upon by the Chiefs to send
out runners to the east, west, north

banished four and bring them back

came the peach trees blossomed

held ceremony for them by dane
ing and singing. The snakes were
anointed and bathed in sacred wa
ter. Each dancer carried snakes in
his mouth throughout the dance A
pit dug in the dancing arena COW
cred with boards was used by the
swaying dancers as means of com
munication with the Rain Gods and
spirits of the long since dead par
ents of the now honored descend
ents. AS each Hopi dancer danced
over the pit he stomped three times
on the board which gave forth
weird, hollow, re-echoing sound.
The Gods and spirits down below
were being called that they might
awaken and know of the honors be-
ing paid by the Hopis to their now
acknowledged brothers. (The tribe
of today maintain that the snake is
their brother and will not kill any
kind Of snake).
After the religious rites were
over, old women, mothers of the
dancers, came forth and sprinkled
the snakes with sacred meal, that
the snakes might go far into the
waste lands and persuade the Gods
to smile again upon the Hopi broth
ers that had so honored them th s
day.
After the dance, as the legend
goes, the Gods smiled and rain fell
aplenty for the maturing crops.
And each year in August, the
month of the Hopis waning moon,
the famous Hopi Snake Dance was
held (This year reported to be
on the 25th of August) that the
snake brothers would go back into
the desert after the homage paid
them and seek the rain of the Rain
Gods.
When this fantastic dance is over
four dancers gather the snakes up
in their arms in great Interviewing,
distorting masses and run with
them down the steep mesa trails
to the desert floor, each runner
taking a different direction, to the
four winds, and turn the snake
brothers free to watch them silent
ly glide away over the deserts

children must have glided, aeons

ALSO

NEW YORK, Oct. From
out of the hotel room of Jack
Dempsey, where two physicians
are attending the former
heavyweight champion who
lost his title last week to- Gene
Tunney III the Sesquicentennial
Stadium, there continue to
come today ugly rumors of the
poisoning of Dempsey and his
staff before the big fight
presumab bly, poisoning hy
gamblers who wanted to take
advantage of the big odds ON
the champion.
Can't Hold Food
There is no doubt that Demp-
seY is ill.
There also seems to be little
doubt, despite the efforts Ut the
ex-champion's staff to maintain
secrecy, that the illness has taken
the form of rash on Dempsey's
body and the inability of the
pugilist to retain food.
This is the same form of illness
with which Capt. Charles j. Nab
butt, U. s.. A., one of the Dempsey
trainers, was stricken about four
days before the fight.
1t has been reported since that
Dempsey, as well as Jerry the
Greek, his chief trainer, were taken
i'll at the same time, but decided to
keep the matter a secret. Ply
sicians then urged Dempsey to call
off the fight, reports now state.
Dempsey's only comment, when
questioned about the poison reports,
was that he had no alibis to make
that would belittle Tunney's vic
tory"
After that statement came more
silence
