MANY TOURISTS TO
VISIT MINNESOTA
Redwood County Will Be Visit
ed By Tourists Going to
Northern Minnesota.

Within the coming month Mime
sofa will entertain more than $4,000
persons coming here as delegates to
national conventions.
Many of these delegates will tour
the state and spend their summer va
cations here say officials of the Ten
Thousand Lakes Association.
During the week of June II to ID
more than 5000 doctors from all parts
of the United States attended the an
nual convention of the American
Medican Association at Minneapolis.
Last week the Rotary international
convention was held there with dele
gates from all over the world. Dur
ing the week July l to MinneapO-
lis will be host to the National Edu-
cational Association and the Ameri-
can Dental Association will meet
there August 20 to "a.
Keen interest is being shown in the
conventions by the resort communities
of the state, some going as far as
placing exhibits in display windows
secured through the courtesy Of the
Minneapolis Civic & Commerce As
sociation. Taking a lead in decorat-
ing windows to place before the eyes
of delegates the advantages which
Minnesota has to offer, several state
and civic bodies cooperated last week
in arranging special displays in the
Roanoke Building, Minneapolis. Those
participating were the Ten Thousand
Lakes Association and Great Mime
sofa Association, the State Game and
Fish Department, the State Auditors s
office, the Forestry Department, the
Minneapolis Civic & Commerce AS
sociation, Izaak Walton League and
the Minneapolis Park Board. These
exhibits show not only the recreation
al advantages of the state but also
hold forth information concerning
Minnesota as a place in which to live.
At other places downtown exhibits
were placed by the Minnesota Arrow
head Association and the Alexandria
Commercial Club. 1t is expected that
many more Minnesota communities
will arrange display windows for the
National Educational convention
which will take place the first week
in July.
That the National conventions be-
ing held in Minneapolis will result in
bringing many vacationists here is
the opinion of j. H. Mitchell, chair
man of the tourist and publicity COM
mittee of the Minneapolis Civic &
Commerce Association. Mr.. Mitchell
says that so far this summer tourist

Richard Glassman Pinned Un-
der Overturned Car Early
Tuesday; Dies Here.
DRIVER OF CAR is HELD
Herbert Stage, Driver of Death
Car, Attributes Reason for
Accident to No Lights.

Being thrown from an automobile,
which was driven without lights, and
having the car fall upon him, caused
the death of Richard Glassman of
Seaforth Monday night. Young
Glassman was riding with Herbert
Stage when the accident which caus-
ed the wreck and death occurred.
Richard was rushed to the> Redwood
Falls hospital shortly after the car
was overturned, he died within two
or three hours.
The cause of the wreck is ascribed
to driving after drinking and driving
at night without lights. The driver
of the death car, Herbert Stage, is be-
ing held by the county authorities,
for further investigation.
With several friends, Richard Glass
man was visiting at his fathers home,
mile west of Seaforth. The party
lasted from about 900 p. m. until
around LOO a. m. Tuesday morning.
At the time the gathering decided to
leave, Arthur Stage and Leo Katzen-
berger started to Seaforth in one car,
while Herbert Stage and the victim
of the accident left the Glassman
home in another car, and were start
ing for the home of Walter Stage.
Driving along at fairly fast rate
of speed the lights of the car went
out but the driver continued without
lights. Unable to see the car of his
brother short distance ahead, the
crash was unavoidable. The car driv-
en- by Herbert hit the other car from
behind, completely turning it around
in the air when it fell and was head
ed in the opposite direction. Her.
bert was thrown clear of the car,
while Richard was also thrown out
but the machine came down on him,
pinning him helplessly underneath
the wreckage.
Early Tuesday morning County At
torney Leon H. Brown, Sheriff Kise
and County Coroner Hubbard left for
the wreckage for investigation. Her
bert was ordered held by the County
Attorney for further investigation.
Richard Glassman was twenty years
of age at the time of his sudden
death, and lived with his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Glassman on
farm near Seaforth. The fun
eral will be held at the German
Lutheran church in Seaforth Thurs
day afternoon and interment will be
made in the Seaforth cemetery. Rich
ard is survived by his parents and
several brothers and sisters. A sis
ter preceded him in death about a
month ago.

other club members attending the last

of the campers who came to take them
home.

cooking. She was ably assisted by
Harriet Ballard, one of the Leader
ship girls, who volunteered to help
out. Each meal was prepared by a
group of 16.
"The Redwood Falls Commercial
Club supplied a liberal serving of
ice cream to the members on Tues
day afternoon. Messrs. Freyer, Rob-
erts, and Tyson representing the Club

bering % under the supervision of
Mr.. Frank Svoboda, county agent of
Renville County, and Mr.. Hendrick-
son, Agricultural Instructor at Hec-
tor, were the winners in the organic
ed sport contest conducted over a per-
iod of three days. The sports work
occupied the afternoons, the rivalry
and esShusiasm running extremely
high through the competition offered.
Renville County carried home the low
ing cup for the highest score on all
sports in camp, only by small mar
gin. They were poppy bunch, and
under the leadership of Mary McGin-
ty and Erwin Draaheim, their organ
ization was well taken care Of.
Tuesday night was stunt night
when each club put on some stunt of
it's own followed by a pageant and
roast around big

pictures and a talk of interest to the
club members which was followed by

CHICAGO, September 2o.-Semi-an-

in Chicago alone, are gradually to be-
come thing of the past here.
Renting concerns expect october l of
this year to be one of the last great
moving days-occasions when whole sec
tons of the city seem to be on the move.
At that time $4,000 families will prob
ably change their place of residence
Thereafter the effect of a new stag
gered" leasing system will be felt. In
stead of apartment leases calling for
either an october or May termination
they are to run out at various times
during the year. Already nearly $4,000
leases have been placed on this new
basis.
The success of the scheme locally is
expected to result in its application in
other cities which now face two annual
periods of disruption. At those times
business suffers with unsettled condi-
tions for a week or two. 1t is figured by
real estate men that apartment dwellers
