independent basketball team this
winter was virtually assured last

on the team. The team will be an
all-company team, with enlistment re-
quired to play.

ToConduct School for
Cholera Vaccination
DIR. w. A. Billings in Charge of
Two Day Anti Cholera
School Dec. 1917

"There's no telling how long Meth
uselah might have lived if he had his
appendix, teeth and tonsils out, used
the right brand of tooth paste and
smoked coughless cigarettes" accord
ing to County Agent Nate Bovee.
Mr.. Bovee used this to illustrate
his point why hogs should be vac
cinated to insure possibility OF
longer life and greater profits in
farming.
A school for instruction in hog
cholera vaccination is slated for Dec
ember 16 and II. Registrations have
been coming in for the last two
months.
"This school requires only two
days of any mans time and the cost
is less than lots of folks spend when
they go to Dance" County Agent
Bovee said.
Regardless of whether a man vac
cinates his own hogs or has the work
done by a veterinarian, Mr.. Bovee,
says the farmers will make more
money over period of years by hav-
ing the pigs vaccinated for hog chol-
era at weaving time.
Registrations for the hog cholera
school are accepted now for small
sum. Inquire at the County Agents
office.

100000 population owns nothing

Over 400 people were present thus

"The Christmas Seals of the Ma

are sold at Christmas time every

funds for one of the most valuable Of

Prominent officials of the state
have added their endorsement to Pre-
sident Hoover's, squirting into action

who starting Thanksgiving day will
carry the sale into every section of
the state. Determined that tubercul-

ers are making special effort to in
crease funds this year.
Governor Christianson says, "By
the purchase Of Christmas Seals, the
people of Minnesota are given an op-
pcrtunity to render wonderful serv-
ice to the cause of health. In 1929,
1,441 men, women and children of the
state died of tuberculosis, and the
death rate was 56.7 per 100000.
While this represents substantial
cut in the death rate since the or
ganized effort was started, we are
still confronted by the fact that in
Minnesota one death in every five
between the ages of Is and As is
caused by tuberculosis. AS Governor
of Minnesota, is a pleasure to me to
give my support to this humanitarian
movement, and to express the hope
that the people will respond to it as
generously as possible"

Unique in design are the CENTER
pieces conceived for this holiday sea-
son, patterned somewhat on the order
of those used on Seventh Street in
Minneapolis last year.
Illuminated Centerpieces
Rather than go to the huge ex-
pense by purchasing these designs
ready-made, local designers are con-
structing the centerpieces at one
third the cost. The total outlay OF
this seasons decorations is rs per
cent less of what it cost last year.
With a five-foot illuminated CEN
terpiece, representing rising sun,
suspended in mid-air over the center
of the street, multi-colord electric
lights will be strung across the street
to each ornamental electric light
standard on the sidewalks. The lamp
posts will be trimmed with evergreen
festooning, draped parallel with the
street.
Plan to Add Mill Street
Arrangements are being made to
include Mill and Second streets to be
decorated this year, thus increasing
the number of conterpieces and null
ti-colored light strings to twenty
or more.
Streets to be decorated will be Sec
ond and Third streets from Mill
street east to Jefferson, and Wash
ington, jefferson and Mill streets,
north and south.
The Community Christmas tree
will be on the street in front OF the
Court House. An improvement has
been made in the way of anchoring
the tree. A steel casing has been
sunk and concreted into the pave
ment. The opening is protected with
a screw cap.
Members of the Commercial Club
on the street decoration committee
are A. C. Burmeister, chairman; W.
M. Smith and Vincent Forster. The
Merchants Association is represented
by Charles Gales, chairman; w. A.
Hauck, and C. H. Schultz.

little "shut-ins."
Send your name to C. A. LATTER
bach, and Santa will make trip to

do not miss this chance of seeing
real reindeer, and native Eskimo

To Curtail "Gypsie" Exhibitors
Secretary Hauck explained that at
a meeting of the fair managers OF
the Southern Minnesota Corn and
Clover Belt fair circuit held at
jackson action will be taken by in
divdual fair associations to curtail
what is known as "gypsie" exhibitors,
who come from a distance and make
a practice of making entries at coun-
ty fairs, carrying off prize money,
and taking up space to the exclusion
of local exhibitors.
This practice is particularly pro-
nounced in poultry exhibits. 1t was
suggested that this be curtailed by
limiting the number of species allow
ed to be entered by foreign exhibit
tors. Or it could also be accomplish
ed by limiting the exhibitors to those
from the county and the immediate
adjoining counties.
Those attending the fair circuit
meeting at Jackson last Wednesday
were Parker d. Sanders, A. P. Rams,
M. w. Dennistoun, c. C.. Croker,
Jos. Shank, Forest Croker and W..
A. Hauck. Fair problems were dis
cussed and dates set for 1881.
An invitation was extended and ac-
copied to hold the next meeting of
the Southern Minnesota Corn and
Clover Belt fair circuit November 49,,
1881, at Redwood Falls.
