Mrs. M. L. Freise Judged

Winning a cash prize of $50 in a
nationwide Thanksgiving Dime r
Menu contest staged by the Bureau
Farmer, Mrs. M. L. Freise, Redwood
Falls, has been awarded the title of
Culinary Champion of all farm
cooks in America" by Sam. H.
Thompson, president of the national
Farm Bureau organization.
"Why l hadn't the slightest idea l
should win," Mrs. Freise said when a
Gazette representative telephoned
her the dispatch received from Chi
cago Saturday morning.
Mrs. Freise earned the right to her
title by submitting a Thanksgiving
dinner menu that famous judges of
cooking declared was unique, the
most economic and palatably attrac-
tive of more than five hundred menus
submitted from expert farm women
cooks from every state in the Union.
Recipes for each article of food on
the menu and table decorations were
part of the requirements of the con-
test.
Second price of $25 was awarded
to Bernice Rinker, Grand Ridge, ILL
nois. Twenty-Five other 81 prizes
were distributed to farm women
cooks in seventeen different states.
Judges in the contest were Mrs.
Clara Ingram Judson, Evanston, ILL
nois, famous writer and home econo-
mics specialist, Mrs. Grace Vial Gray,
home economics specialist; Albert
Stawle, chief steward and Edward
Kavaway, assistant manager and
supervisor of restaurants in the Hotel
Sherman, Chicago.
Competition was keen throughout
the contest, but judges had the most
difficulty in deciding on the second
prize winning menu. There were two

Cilmans Bid Farewell
to Their Many Friends
Union Services by Three Local
Churches in Honor of
Leaving Pastor

'The sadness of a minister's life
is that he must say farewell to his
charge just as he is beginning to
know them," Rev. C. w. Gilman said
in his farewell sermon Sunday night.
The Reverend Gilman has been
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church for three years, the seventh
pastorate of his charge during his
career thus far. He has been assign
ed to the Federated, consolidated
Methodist and Congregational church
of Plainview, exchanging pastorates
with Rev. G. E. Martin.
The evening service was an impress
sive occasion, and capacity audience
heard the message of farewell. In
respect for Rev. Gilman, Rev. Jone-
son of the Church of Christ, and DR..
Linn of the First Presbyterian church
dismissed their respective services
and attended in body the Methodist
service.
E. Doble of the Mems Brotherhood
club conveyed the gratitude and ap-
probation of the congregation to the
Rev. and Mrs. Gilman and their
daughter. AS token of their good
will they were presented with a
handsome radio set.

Cardinals Trounce
Olivia "a to 6
Spectacular Runs Feature First
Football Game of the 1880
Season

Trouncing Olivia "a to the Card
inal eleven opened its 1880 football
season on the local field Saturday be-
fore fair sized crowd. Brilliant
runs featured the game.
With runs of so, 60 and 80 yards
the boys showed speed and agility
throughout the game which accounted
for their touchdowns. The game was
largely played in Olivia's territory
and only upon several occasions were
they menacing.
Outstanding in their performance
were Keefe as center, Finn and Cor
oett at backfeld, Melges and Ewart
in the line as tackles and Welch at
end played creditably.
On the whole the boys gave a good
performance and indications point to
a formidable aggregation this season.
Unless further handicapped by in
juries or scholastic intervention, the
team should prove a real challenger
at the next game with Window.
AS the line is comprised of new
material the Cardinals were not as
effective as they might be but-with
added experience they shall learn to
"get their man." Fumbles were COM
mon on both sides
Returning Olivia's kickoff from
the 20 yard line Finn sprinted down
the field for a gain of 60 yards and
advanced beyond the 20 yard line.
Redwood failed to gain and lost the
ball when a pass was incomplete
over the goal line. Olivia punted to
Redwood's 40 yard line where Finn
caught it and ran 60 yards for the
first touchdown.
Second quarter was fought evenly.
This period was characterized by fire.

on both sides. Fumbling the ball af-

Walter Lobdell Laid
to Rest at Lakewood
Former Redwood Falls Boy Kill
ed in Plane Crash. Buried
in Minneapolis

That the death of Walter Lobdell
was not caused through his neglig-
ence may be seen from an article
which appeared in the Pensacola
(Fla.) News last Wednesday. 1t
reads:
walter R. Lobdell, seaman second
class, U. S. Reserve, was killed in
stantly when his NY seaplane locked
wings with another and sideslipped
from 100 feet off Squadron Four
beach, Naval Air Station, at Sis a.
m. Tuesday, September %, 1880.
Edward H. Kruger, plotting the
other plane, suffered minor wounds
to his face and right thigh and is in
the Naval hospital for treatment.
1.-The Filots were making solo
fights. They had been in the air
about an hour and were in the act of
landing. Kruger's ship was just above
Lobdell's, coming in the same direc-
ton. When the planes became en-
tangled they crashed suddenly, to
complete wreckage.
"Both men were members of flight
class As. They began training here
about the middle of July.
This crash is the hrst fatal ac-
cident at the air station since October
1929, when Ensign G. Sell was killed
when his Hawk plane went into a
tailspin."
The body of Walter Lobdell was
escorted to Minneapolis, arriving Fri
day, by Stanley Cowen, a member of
the victims class at Pensacola.
Services were held at the Lobdell
home last Saturday at l o'clock where
Rev. 7. Tyner of St. Luke's Episco-
pal church read a short service. Fol-
lowing the home service a 200
o'clock service was held at the church.
Remains were laid to rest in the
Lakewood Cemetery, Minneapolis.
Twelve members of the Naval Air
Reserve Station of Minneapolis
sounded Taps at the cemetery as the
body was being lowered into it's final
resting place, while above lowering
over the scene were three planes,
headed by the commander of the Min
neapolis station, which scattered
wreaths of flowers over the grave.
Walter Rodney Lobdell, only son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Lobdell, for
years prominent Redwood Falls citi-
zens, was born in Redwood Falls
June 81, 1909. He lived here until
December 1919 when he moved to
Minneapolis with his parents.
In Minneapolis he attended Central
High School. Following his high
school work he entered Minnesota
University where he received three
years training in aeronautical engin-
eering. In June 1880 Walter entered
the Naval Reserve, going to the
Great Lakes Training Station. He

said. "Since the purpose of politi-

when it sacrifices its principles to the
ambitions of an individual, its useful
ness ends"
He pointed out that in the ~ years
of Minnesota's statehood the DEM
cratic and the Republican have been
the dominant parties. He declared
the Farmer-Labor party is dead, its
principles abandoned.

COUNTY FAIR A
SUCCESS, TOTAL
RECEIPTS $4,000
Fifty-Seventh Annual Fair a
Financial Success in Every
Respect
WEDNESDAY RECORD DAY
Between Is, 900 and $4,000 Pe0-
pie According to a Revised
Estimate

With a greater attendance on We'd
nesday than on any single day in the
past several years, the Redwood
county fair turned out successfully in
every respect despite several dis
tracing elements.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 people
attended the fair on Wednesday ac-
cording to a revised estimate by fair
officials. The bleachers and grand
stand were filled to capacity during
the afternoon racing and platform
program.
Parking space was at premium as
all available charted space was tax
en-, and the traffic superintendent
were obliged to make use of the All
Club grounds and other available
space that could be adequately con-
verified into a parking area. Humid
reds of cars were left outside of the
grounds.
Total receipts amounted to an ap-
proximate $4,000 according to a
general estimate. This is consider
ably better than for the last few
years. Financially, the fifty-seventh
annual Redwood county fair proved
satisfactory.
The gate receipts on Wednesday
amounted to nearly $4,000 which
boosted the treasury considerably, as
the Tuesday receipts were only med
ium and Thursday fair. But with
plentiful exhibitors and a good in
come derived from concession rights
the fair association will come out up
and above.
Large purses attracted horses from
all over the north and middle west.
Some seventy horses were entered.
Racing fans were not disappointed as
the events were thrilling at times,
and results surprising. The horses
were speedy and fashy on the whole,
and the competition was keen. Sew
eral heats did get under way little
slowly but with the amount of prize
money contested, each driver was
striving for the right "break."
Platform acts and entertainment
semed pleasing to the vast number
IIlclL dpPlduucu lHSII dCLo. HC SCc-
tuary posing by the famed Venus
Adonis troupe took well with the
crowd. Acrobatic stunts were suf-
icently thrilling.
All Club department surpassed
past records of achievement. The
stock parade Thursday afternoon was
bigger than before. Livestock ex-
hibitors were few but large. Beef
stock showed from as far away as
Park Rapids, Iowa. The swine was
said to be the biggest and best on
record.
Machinery lane was filled with the
latest farm equipment. There were
more exhibitors in this line than usual.
Most of the local dealers had dis
play.
Horticultural products were not as
complete as formerly, but what was
represented did not seem to be below
past standards. Especially interest
ing was the corn exhibit.
Thursday was a damper, the wind
whistled and sang through the grand
stand and toward evening it rained,
but surprising number of people
stuck it out.

the candidates dare to do any bust
ness with the committee. Individual
committees are being set up to func-
tion in Hennepin at accidental cross
purposes which will soon come to con-
flicting purposes all of which can
lead only to political disaster.
Unless there is abrupt change in
tactics and strategy Minnesota will
wake up one bright November morn
ing with Farmer-Laborite and a
Democrat representing it in the Uni
ted States senate and Farmer-Laror-
lite administration entrenched in the
state.
When this happens everybody will
be blaming everybody else. The air
will be full of II told you so's," re-
examinations and accusations, none of
which will in the least alter the ex-
listing facts. Much danger, most of
it irreparable, has been done already.
If there is to be any salvage, serious
and level heads will have to get to-
gether and decide on the active unified
campaign in behalf of the Republican
state ticket.

SPARE BULBS FOR CARS
minneapolis JournaD

Connecticut's Motor Vehicle Com
missioner is attacking the one-eyed
car nuisance. Like many another
solver of problems, he thinks there
ought to be a law. He would creep
up on the dead headlight with legal
weapon
Spare headlight bulbs-that is the
Commissioners remedy. He would
make it compulsory to carry at least
one bulb.
The glazing headlight is not so
common as is used to be, thanks to
better construction of headlights and
a somewhat more widespread inclina-
ton to courtesy. One driver who has
lately done two thousand miles on
trunk highways north and west of
Minneapolis testifies to the considera-
ton of many a motorist, especially
the drivers of buses and big trucks
who dim their headlights when they
meet cars. But this complaint against
the one-eyed car is loud and sweeping.
However, if there should be law,
what of it's enforcement? 1t is one
thing to order the spare headlight
bulb, and another thing to see that it
is carried in every car.

LAME DUCKS RETURN

Many congressman and senators
have already been defeated in their
attempts to be reelected to represent,
or too often mis-represent their con-
stituents in Washington. Many more
will suffer defeat in the November
election. Yet all these defeated U.
s. senators and congressman will con-
vene in December with full power to
continue to make laws-assist in pass
ing legislation-for Is months after
they have been voted out of office.
This is a most unfortunate situa-
tion. 1t was likely necessary in the
days of slow and difficult transporta-
ton, when this country was in the
pioneering state, and that was the
reason for originally having congress
hold over. so to speak. But today it
is a system which is thoroughly an
tiQuated.
Senator George w. Norris of Ne
braska, Americas leading progressive,
has voted and labored for years to
have this system changed. The
change has received the endorsement
of the U. S. senate three times. by
almost unanimous vote, but the house
has failed to vote on same, because
the rules committee dominated by
Smell. Longworth. and Tilson-a three
man combination-worse than the Joe
Cannon rule at the height of its pow
er-has not allowed it 10 come to a
vote. This three-man domination in
the lower house should be broken up
as it is continually used TO the det-
riment of beneficial agricultural leg
islation and is working very favor
ably TO eastern industry.
