OF MONTE" in
STATE GOLF RACE
MONTEVIDEO PLAYER LOSES
THIRD ROUND OF CHAMPION
SHIP FLIGHT IN STATE JUNIOR
TOURNEY.

Bay Claggett, Montevideo golf ace,
entered the third round of the state
junior golf tournament at Superior
by right of two victories. But in the
third round with Arthur Smell Thurs
day Claggett lost after Is holes OF
hard golf. He was vanquished 2 up.
1t is reported that both players play
ed bang up golf.
Tournament play commenced Tues
day and upsets marked the first
round, many top-notchers being elm
mated. The Journal reports Claggett
as narrowly escaping the jinx. His
first match was with Rudy Olson. He
was forced to play 20 holes before he
bested Olson. This was one Of the
thrillers of the day.
In the second round Wednesday,
Bay was pitted against Iver Gustaf-
son. In the first nine holes Gustaf-
son had Claggett on the run. Bay
turned in 48 and things looked pref
ty dark for the local boy. In the last
nine holes, he made a nice comeback
and cut ten strokes off which gave
him the match, 2 up and to go.
Claggett won the individual cham
pionship of the Minnesota Valley Golf
Association tourney at Marshall this
summer. The lad has had hard luck
in the present contest, but is expected
to place.

match to play with J. F. Engel when
he gets back. These two are the sur
vivors of the championship flight bat

MANY FROM HERE ATTEND
GALA DAYS.

Redwood County has, within the
week, had two celebrations within
her borders. The first of these was
the annual Harvest Festival held at
Vesta Friday, September 3rd. In
spite of bad weather the attendance
was fairly good and those who attend
ed felt well repaid for Drawing the
rain. The local speakers were Con-
gresham Clague, Attorney Barnes
and Representative Aldrich all of
whom gave short talks with Magnus
Johnson completing the program with
an address. The speakers dealt with
various phases of state and national
problems and their talks proved most
interesting. In addition to the talks
Vesta had provided good program
of amusement and entertainment in
cluding a dance in the evening. A
very good display of vegetables, corn
and grains was a feature of the gath
ering.
The American Legion of Seaforth
celebrated Labor Day with program
of amusements, talks, etc. The speak
ers included Rep. Aldrich, Rep. Kram-
er, Attorney George A. Barnes and
Attorney Leon H. Brown. Following
the speaking program there was a
Rodeo exhibit and an interesting ball
game between Wabasso and Seaforth,
with Seaforth winning by to 2
score. The day closed with a dance
in the evening. The weather was
very fine and the attendance pro-
portionately good.
A number of Redwood Falls resi-
dents went to Birch Cooley Thursday
afternoon of last week to attend a
very interesting celebration of the
sixty-fourth anniversary of the Bat
tie of Birch Cooley. Governor Chris

REDWOOD CLUB
WORK SHOWS WELL
AT STATE FAIR
COUNTY AGENT LYNN SHELDON
TELLS GAZETTE READERS OF
ATTRACTIVE All CLUB BOOTH
AT FAIR GROUNDS.

The Redwood County group of boys
and girls who are winners of trips and
putting on the club booth at the State
Fair are going fine job of repres-
enting the county. While there is no
agricultural booth at the fair this
year the boys and girls are trying to
keep the state posted on the progress
being made in club work at least.
The booth does not contain any
products but tells the story of boys
and girls club work from it's begin
ming in 1914 down to date The title
is 'The Green and White TraiP' in
which the early beginning is told by
the old dirt road with grass between
the tracks There are bad hills, mud
holes, stones and all kinds of obsta-
cles in the way. At the first corner
stand the sign boards reading Indiff-
erance, Discouragement and Failure.
This road receives very little travel
while the road which makes sharp
turn at the sign board leading to OPP
portunity, Ambition, Achievement and
Goals gradually shows much travel
and improvement from the old dirt
road to fine gravel and later paw
ed road. This road is well marked
with the green and white four leaf
clover with the H. on each leaf repre-
senting Head, Hand, Heart and
Health, which is the national Boys and
Girls Club emblem.
The ground and grass effect are
do wit
pound. Along the road are about 25
enlarged pictures of Redwood County's
state champion club members and
others with posters explaining them
to show the progress being made. La
ter down the highway are shown the
same winners in their present occu-
pations.
The back ground shows the map of
Redwood County cut out of compo-
board with the drawings of the IA
clubs which are organized in the coun-
ty and at little four leaf button stuck
to the map to indicate the location of
each club member in the county, of
which there are 405. Gold stars are
located to show the % leadership club
others to whom tribute is given.
At one side of the map is a tablet
with the achievements and the setting
sun going down behind it. On the
other side is another tablet with the
goals and the new moon and stars
above it. The background is an
azure blue trimmed with oak leaves
and boughs. At the base is an out
line of alfalfa around the booth.
In one corner there is box exc
in which a small desk and chair is
placed. One member of the leader
ship group.is present in the booth at
all times to explain everything and
hand out booklets and folders to those
who seem especially interested.
We have a wonderful group of
young people who are taking the in
itiative and really doing this work.
The exhibit as well as the fine calves
and pigs that are being shown is
something to be proud of. Their ac-
complishments are made possible by
the splendid assistance of the county,
the schools, their parents and many
others to whom tribute is given

SAYS A|NUNDSEN
HIT At PEARY

An invitation to ROAD Amundsen
the explorer, to address the Ma
tional Geographic Society, was with
drawn because Amundsen made
statements relative to the Cook
Peary North Pole controversy
which seriously reflected" On
Peary, it was explained in formal
statement issued here today by DR..
Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the
society.
DIR. Grosvenor said Amundsen
had been accorded great honors by
the society. and that in a speech
here accepting a gold mdeal from
Peary himself in 1918, Amundsen
paid high tribute to the American
explorer as his inspiration" in the
south pole dash.
Later" said DIR. Grosvenor,
when on January "a, 1926, the
printed a statement
from Amundsen seriously rejecting
on Peary, felt compelled to with
draw an invitation to Amundsen
to speak before the Society in
March. No contract had been
entered into, nor had any announce
ment of the invitation been made.
Amundsen stated the interview had
been garbled, but telegram read
to me by Minister Bryn (of Norway
was not a retraction Of his re-
Elections on Peary."

COOLIDGE PLANS
CAUSE STUDY

President Coolidge ended the first
year of his Presidency in his own
right" at noon today and began
another.
The historically significant date
OF March 4 went almost unnoticed
and unmarked at the White House.
1t was merely another day there,
with another days tasks. Only
the arrival of some congratulatory
birthday" messages broke the
routine of business as usual"
The date could not pass at the
Capitol, however, without causing
a buzz of discussion over the most
popular bit of political speculation
of the waning session OF Congress,
to wit:
"WiIl Calvin Coolidge be a candl-
date to succeed himself"
There was no answer to be had
to it-only speculation.
Those closest to the taciturn man
in the White House say that he
himself does not know on this
March what his political status
will be on March three years
hence, when the revolving wheel
of politics brings another quadren-
NAL change in national government.
He has discussed it with no one
not even the closest of his few
intimates.
They credit Mr.. Coolidge with too
much political sagacity to make the
mistake that Theodore Roosevelt
once made in a similar situation
announcing that he would not DO a
candidate. It was an 1ndiscretion
that Roosevelt later regretted. and
decision that he later repudiatcd.
Most of the politicians who can
be characterized as "close to
Mr.. Coolidge and Administration
spokesman" believe that he will be
a candidate to succeed himself.
Some of the more enthusiastic go
further-they say he will succeed
himself three years from today. But
they preface their public observas
tions to this effect with private
asides: IF everything goes all right"

CODE HIT

Bitter criticism Of the proposed
new insurance code for the District
OF Columbia was expressed today
before the Senate District Commit
tee by e. S. Brashears, represent
ing the Insurance Club of Wash
ington.
Opposition to the rate-making Sec
ton and many regulatory provisions
Of the bill was voiced by Brashears,
who said the measure was designed
to give the local superintendent of
Insurance further control over the
business.
"I do not wish to reflect upon
the character of Mr.. Baldwin, our
present Superintendent of Insur-
ance," MIR. BrashearS said. There
have been times in the past, how
ever, when the city could not point
with pride to the official who occu-
pied that office"
The Senate District Committee
virtually closed hearings upon the
insurance bill today and will con-
slider numerous proposed amend
ments at it's next meeting. which
probably will be held next Tuesday.
