GRAIN SEPARATOR DESTROYED
BY FIRE ON MORGAN FARM

A large threshing separator be-
longing to B. E. Blomeke of Morgan
was destroyed by fire recently, on
the Stewart Adams farm near that
town. Before the machine could be
stopped upon discovery of the fire,
flames were seen to come out OF the
blower and in q few minutes the in
side of the separator appeared to be
on fire. The outfit was pulled away
from the stacks so that the grain
was saved. The straw pile caught
fire from the flames which shot
through the blower. The belts were
saved but otherwise only some bent
pieces of iron and wheels were all
that was left of the valuable ma
chine. The origin Of the fire is un-
known.

FAIR VISITORS TO GET
INSIDE DOPE" ON BEES

Folks who yearn to know more
about bees than they have been able
to pick up from poetry and hearsay
may have their curiosity satisfied at
the Minnesota State Fair, August 80
to September 6, says H. G. Ahrens
of the beekeeping section at Univer-
sity Farm. Mr.. Ahrens is superin-
tendent of the bee culture depart
ment of the fair this year and is ar
ranging many education features in
addition to the commercial exhibits.
Just outside the building where the
bee culture exhibits are to be shown
will be placed several hives of Ital-
ian bees belonging to the University
Farm beekeeping section. Several
times daily, public demonstrations in
handling bees will be put On without
the use of smoke, gloves, wells or any
other form or repellent or protection.
The hives will be opened, the frames
removed and other operations COM
mon to the bee-yard performed as a
means Of acquainting visitors with
the work of beekeeper and partic-
ularly to show how gentle the little
insects are when properly managed.
Another feature that will give
visitors "inside dope" on bees will be
the glass observation hives kept in
side the building. One of these will
contain a full-sized colony of $4,000
or more bees and their queen. Pro-
tected by the glass, visitors may
watch the bees at work making comb,
feeding the young, ventilating the
hive and doing many other interest
ing things. The queen, herself, will
have a red stripe painted on her alb
domen to enable folks to identify her
while she is work laying perhaps
5000 eggs a day.
Exhibits will include all kinds of
honey, beeswax, beekeeping equip
ment, baked goods and other food
products containing honey. Mr.. All
rens and other bee specialists will be
on hand to explain things and an
made with honey will be dispensed ia
swer questions. Ice cream and candy
crafty appetites that become tempt
| ed by the attractive displays.

The only thing that regret about the whole
affair that the Gazette could not award more than
three automobiles The excellent work done by the
contestants and their success obtaining readers
is worthy of more praise than we give here. A
better group of workers could not have been found
anywhere.
And we take this opportunity to welcome the large
number of new subscribers who have joined the Ga
zettes big family of readers They, too, respon-
sibe for the of the campaign-of course. We
shall do our utmost to give readers newspaper
that will reflect credit upon Redwood Falls and Red
wood county
local newspaper is public institution, it is
before its public than any other one thing and
is controlled by public good will, public confidence and
public spirit. With it's intensive circulation at their
command, the largest pad-in-advance circulation of
other interests have medium for conveying their
messages that is rarely possessed by communities
much larger than Redwood Falls.

Old Castle Garden Once
Famous Pleasure Resort

The old Castle Clinton. erected
during the War of 1912. just west of
Battery park, was renamed Castle
garden and became a famous pleas
ure resort, says writer in New
York paper. At first it was a little
off shore, connected with the main
land by a drawbridge, but later the
intervening space was filled in and
it stood on the western edge of the
park.
Here were held annual fairs, con-
certs, theatrical performances, op-
eras and the circus. 1t filled much
the same place in the life Of the
city as Madison Square Garden did
In after years. 1t was here, in 1880,
that the famous singer, Jenny Lind,
sang to enraptured audiences.
Part of its popularity as an
amusement place was due to its To-
cation, in the city's largest park
and at the waters edge; it was so
charming to stroll in the romantic,
gas-lit park before and after the
performance For since 1925 the
lower part of New York city had
enjoyed gas lights, a brilliant i'm
provement over the Pickering oil
lanterns of an earlier day.

Indians Use Of Tobacco

Students of ethnology differ as to
whether the pre-Columbian Indians
ever smoked merely for personal
enjoyment, says an article In Path
finder Magazine. There is very
little If any evidence to justify the
common belief that the Indians of
Columbian days smoked habitu-
ally and privately merely for per-
sonal enjoyment.
To the Indians the tobacco plant
had a sacred character and was
smoked on solemn occasions, with
suitable invocations to their deities.
1t also was smoked tremendously
to cure disease, aid in distress,
ward off danger. bring good luck,
and to allay fear. In this respect
the smoking tobacco and other ma
terials somewhat resembled the
burning Of incense among other
peoples.
