SECRETARY GIVES
RED CROSS RERORT
COUNTY NEEDS 1900 MEMBERS
TO ASSURE SUCCESS FOR
WORK NEXT YEAR; MANY
HELPED DURING PAST YEAR.

With the opening Of the annual Red
Cross Roll Call week from next Fri
day, November 18th. it is well for the
residents of Redwood County to view
the work which has been accomplish
ed during the past year with money
provided by the Red Cross. A. ID.
McRae, the 1927 Roll Call chairman,
is hopeful that this year the member
ship in the county may reach at least
1900 which will be an increase over
the previous years. In view of the
tremendous work done by the Execu-
tive Secretary and through the other
branches of the Red Cross service,
and also in view of the big population
Of the county, this is a modest desire
on Mr.. McRae's part.
Following the war much of the
work of the Executive Secretary con-
sisted in helping ex-service men and
their families. The 1927 report of
Miss Mona Callister states that % ex-
service men were assisted in hospital
ization or in becoming reinstated for
government insurance. This is a de-
crease from the work done in this
connection in other years. A few of
the service mems families still need
help, however. These cases are list
ed in the 100 cases assisted by the
County Red Cross through cooperation
with the State Board of Control and
the Redwood County Child Welfare
Board.
The cases have been classified by
Miss Callister as follows:
II adoption investigations.
20 hospital cases, including Grip
pied children's care.
IL delinquent girls-supervisisa.

DAY BY 7 TO 0 COUNT.

The Redwood Falls-Pipestone high
school football game played at Pipe
stone Saturday afternoon. October
29th, ended in 0 to deadlock. Fer
four periods the two teams fought
bitterly and desperately to put over a
touchdown or a counter, the score
that would have brought victory. 1t
was principally battle of lines. The
two forward walls offered defense
that was too great to pierce with any
degree of consistency. The scoreless
tie of Saturday enabled the Redwood
Falls team to still retain an even
break on the seasons wins and loss
es. having won from New Ulm and
st. Peter and lost to Window and
the fast Glencoe tribe.
Next Saturday, November 5th, the
local team will play Montevideo at
the Montevideo Homecoming. Due TO
the keen rivalry of the two teams, a

Sleepy Eye team at Redwood Falls.
The game will wind up the season for
the locals. Each team has win over
New Ulm with each losing to VIM
dom. In this game Captain Arnett

pass from high school football. A
desperate battle is assured with the
locals given whatever edge there may
be.

 The sport always has hnon staged with the participants dressed in their working clothes high top boots with cork soles, corduroy trousers and heavy flannel shirts. Eut the woodsmen found they could work with much greater speed dressed in beach attire.
 There are few Of the men Of the woods who wlll not sacrifice the dignity and color Of their working clothes for the comfort Of a bat hing suit Clad in the now costume, with spiked shoes on their feet. they run thoir logs sometimes for only few seconds but oftcnlimcs for more than an hour,
 Wilbur Marx. 2o-year-ol high school athlete from Eau Claire, has held the "birling' title for two years. Marx has had stiff com petition. particularly among tho native Indian lumberiacks.
 The sport not only includes log rolling but barrel and ball rolling. Contestants stage tiltinE contests where their opponents. spinning the logs forward and backward, work { o upset each other. The logs. always are smoothed with no bark left to allow "purchaso.'
 Log rolling is natural sport in Wisconsin. evolved from the work of the log drives down the Mlssis- sippi river and the less turbulent Wisconsin rivers. The most haZ- ardous task is placing the dyn&- mite to dislodgc the key log of a jam.
