Scotch parents settling early in Red

it a place among the leading counties
of Minnesota.

as the Scotch hills from whence they
came-he was born with determine
ton for honorable success as men
should be-as pronounced in his
championing Of the cause of human
rights as any tribune of the people
of ancient or modern times.
His primary education was in the
little red school house Of Redwood
Falls township. His advanced educa-
ton was of his own acquiring, he de-
voting every spare moment to read

and participating in forensic debate.
In those early years he took firm
stand for the right, as the Almighty
gave him the power to sec the right.

Warm weather and recent rains have

crop showing particular progress dur

head of the agronomy department Of
the university, said Tuesday.
After being retarded at the start
by dry weather, the recent rains and
warm weather have speeded it's
growth until the corn crop is almost
up to the seasons usual level, Mr..
Boss said.
Reports from various parts of the
state give the height of corn as rang
ing from knee high to waist high with
sturdy stalks and good root growths
essential to a marketable ear.
The corn crop in the southeastern
part of the state is much more even
than in the central part, according to
Mr.. Boss. He also said that reports
from North and South Dakota indi-
cate that crops in the two state are

Missing Detroit
Boy Found in
Woods Unhurt
FRANK EIDENSCHINK, 3K YEARS
OLD WANDERS SEVEN MILES
FROM HOME; 800 JOIN IN
SEARCH.

Apparently unframed after wan
dering alone in the woods seven miles
northeast of Detroit, Mimi, since a
p. m. Sunday, Frank Eidenschink, 3s
years old, was found at Ills p. m.
Monday. A half mile away his shoe,
which he had lost during his travels,
was found.
A posse of more than 500 persons,
including members of the American
Legion, police and fire departments
and citizens of Detroit, searched for
the boy, who wandered away during a
picnic on the Eidenschink farm.
About half mile from the house is
a large marshy swamp in which it
was at first believed the child had
drowned.
The whistle on the Detroit power
plant, used in cases of emergency to
call out the American Legion, had
steadily called for volunteers to join
in the search.
The entire city of Detroit was STIR
red by the disappearance of the child,
and holiday tourists flocked to the
woods near the Eidenschink farm to
join in the hunt.

JULIUS A. SCHMAHL ONE OF
SPEAKERS RECALLING OLD
DAYS AT REDWOOD COUNTY
MEETING JUNE 18TH.

H. M. Hitchcock of Minneapolis
sends the following story on the re-
cent Redwood County picnic held in
Minneapolis June 26th.
"Out of over two hundred former
residents of Redwood County who
attended the Twin City Redwood
County picnic only one of them had
previous acquaintance with Mary
Schwandt Schmidt who, during the
picnic program, related some Of her
observances and experience while re-
siding near Redwood Falls previous
to the Indian uprising and during the
two months of her captivity.
'This was Julius A. Schmahl, form
er editor of the Redwood Gazette and
all around Redwood booster, whose
family was living in the Redwood
Sioux Indian Reservation at Fort
Ridgely during that same tragic per-
iod. While Mary Schwandt watched
Indian women making bullets for In
dian warriors to shoot a. white sol
diers, julius SchmahPs mother was
making bullets for the defenders of
Fort Ridgely against. Little Crows
forces, both sides in the conflict be-
ing short of ammunition for continuing
the contest. Many years later, when
the State erected monument to the
Schwandt family, Mr.. Schmahl gave
the principal address of dedication.
"At the Redwood County picnic,
however, Julius concerned himself,
in his talk, with later times that were
within the memory of his audience.
He recalled important achievements
that remain in evidence now; the de-
velopment of the county school sys-
tenn and the establishing of public
library in every rural district, under
the supervising direction O., S. j. Race,
placing Redwood at the. head of Min
nesota counties in it's most import
ant school features and where it has
been maintained by his successors.
"Mr. Schmahl cited the building of
the Carnegie Public Library at Red
wood Falls, also the making of a park
lake in the Redwood Valley, Belong
ing to the city with a contract to
maintain a high level for boating
and bathing resort. The transaction
also included the transfer of the Red

portion of the Redwood RIVER to city

Old English Dances
Rival Charleston

London, Feb. 6-(AP)-The Nor
ris sword dances which rural dane
ing societies are reviving in Eng
land require for more endurance than
the tango and the fox trot and
Charleston which the villagers hope
to displace.
Judges have agreed that there Is
nothing ladylske about either the
sword dance or the Morris dance
and teams of women which compete
at a recent contest in Great Hail.
London University, made a poor
showing.
They are dances for young men,
and very active young men at that
who dance coatless in flannel
trousers and wear rainbow braces"
which Is the English way Of saying
suspenders. Bells are worn on the
knees for the Morris dance.
The team from Cambridge made
the best showing inthe Morris dance
Music was supplied by a concertina
The teams of sword dancers all had
testers with them who relieved the
serious interest in a very intricate
performance with their jocks and an
tics.
