also be found when an apple or

what relation exists between the
coloring matter of differently husd
animals. In studying white animals
some interesting points arise There
are two sorts of white ANIMALS. as

The last number OF the present lee
ture course will be given at the arm
ory Friday evening, February 10Th.
This is the date of the appearance Of
Army Ambrose who gives an elect
rical entertainment of much interest
and information. While the enter
tainment is scientific in its purpose
it is so simplified by Mr.. Ambrose
that the merest amateur can under
stand it and it always delights the
children of the audience. The speak
er finds many occasions to add touch
es of delightful humor to the talk
given as he demonstrates, and press
notices indicate that there is much
of amusement to be gained from his
clever presentation
Quantities of elaborite electrical
equipment are used by Mr. Ambrose
in his demonstration. This has prac-
tically all been made by the lecturer
himself and he is most expert in its
use. The lecture promises much of
both education and entertainment to
those attending.

Because one man loves nature in
all its forms and especially in the
form of bird and animal life, and be-
cause a second man is fcnder of Red
wood Falls and School District No.
l, than he is of money, the School
District is now in possession of a
wonderful collection of birds. These
were collected and mounted by DR..
c. P. Gibson, former resident of
Redwood Falls, now living in Calf
ornia The purchase of the collec-
ton was made by A. c. Burmeister
who has presented it as a gift to
School District No. l at an expense
of five hundred dollars. The col
lection is one of the finest private
collections in the State containing
several binds Of great rarity. It can
tains two hundred fifty birds and a
number Of small animals including a
fawn, mink, squirrel, etc.
The collection is the result Ct rror'-
ty years cf Interested work on the
part of DR.. Gibson. For many years
the collection was housed in his home
here, and was taken later by him to
Milaca. Upon his removal to Calf
ornia the birds were brought to Red
wood Falls and the most of them plac
ed in storage The Board of Educa
tion saw in this collection a valu-
able addition to the equipment of
the public schools but for obvious
reasons were not authorized to ap-
propriate money for the purchase.
With characteristic generosity Mr.
Burmeister suggested that the birds
be placed in the Lincoln School
to pay the purchase price of them.
The gift is an invaluable one for
many reasons and one for which
the public in and about Red
wood Falls is most deeply indebted
to both the men who have made it's
permanent placement here possible.
Cases have been built in a suit
able room on the second floor front
of the Lincoln building. Here for
many weeks two men have worked
many long evenings in cleaning the
birds, mounting them on suitable roots
of cedar and pine and arranging them
in the cases. These men are Joe
Corbett, a member of the Board of
Education and Lee Winter, the grand
son of DR.. Gibson. Capable help has
been given also by John Sweeny. The
arranging has been a work of infin-
ite patience since many of the birds
are very small, and have required
careful and artistic arranging in or
der to make the best display. The

Ve,ta Store IS
Scene of Bad
Sunday Blaze
COHEN BROS. GENERAL MER-
CHANDISE STORE BADLY
DAMAGED BY FLAMES, WATER
AND SMOKE.

The Cohen Bros. Store at Vesta
was badly damaged by fire Sunday
evening, both building and contents
being much injured by smoke and
water as we'll as by the flames. The
cause is unknown but it is suspected
that spontaneous combustion caused
by oil stored in the rear room started
the blaze.
Through efforts of the Vesta fire
department and townspeople the
flames were kept within the limits
of the rear room in which they first
started This room and it's contents
was entirely destroyed. The fight
was a hard one because of the oil
stored in the room and splendid work
on the part OF the fire fighters was
done. The departments of Marshall
and Redwood Falls were called but
by the time they arrived upon the
scene the fire was under control.
The damaged stock will be salvag-
ed and sold as soon as is practicable.
1t is unknown at this time just what

is a general merchandise stock and
the loss by spoilage is likely to be
considerable This is one of the
largest Of Vesta's business houses
and had it been entirely destroyed
would have effected the town serious
ly. The building was also closely
situated to several other very in
flamabIe buildings and this made get
ting the fire under control an eX-
tremely hard task.

cry or not. A. J. Mcclure, general
manager of the Land OLakes CO.
Operative Creameries Association,
st. Paul, and Geo. Byers, fieldman,

been paid in at the time Solicitors
were A. j. Weldon, N. J. Franta and
Paul Callaghan.
At the first directors meeting Tom

six tubs of butter. Alvin Small was
the buttermaker at that time. Other
buttermakers employed at the cream
cry during the past twenty years were
Fred Keller, VIM. Jensen, John

served as buttermaker for the past
ten years or more.
A year ago the company amended
its bylaws and changed as Eame to

the contract for the present fine
building was let to Contractor John
G. Gronau of New Ulm for $i2,5Ou.

That Mr. Burmeister sensed this fit

something to command the respect

the Guardsmen played St. Peter at

The count at the quarter was 10 to

made their big attempt to win in the
last quarter when they tied the score,
20 to 20, with but two minutes left to
play. A foul against the Guardsmen
gave the St. Peter quint it's two
points and the victory. For ST.
Peter, Lindenberg, all-state man did
the bulk of the work and was the
outstanding player. The Guardsmen
played good hard game but could
not cope with Lindenberg and Witty
Donlin did the bulk of the scoring for
Redwood.

TO RAISE SUGAR BEETS

NJ. F. Williams of New Ulm,
a field representative of the
American Beet Sugar Com
pany, with factories at Chaska
and Grand Forks secured con-
tracts near Sleepy Eye for 100
acres of sugar beets this year.
Contracts for 300 acres are eX-
pected.
Sugar beets, Mr.. Williams
said, run from ten to fourteen
tons per acre, and the company
this year will guarantee to pay
farn;ers six dollars per ton.
The crop will cost farmers
about S25 per acre. $3.50 for the
seed, S1.75 for fertilization and
S23 for labor. Further than
that the farmers must furnish
quarters for the Mexicans who
are employed by the company
to harvest the crop, a stove,
their own cultivatOrs and lif-
ters. All the team work is
lone by the farmers, but the
hand work is furnished by the
company.-Sleepy Eye Herald
