Washington society has observed the
Lenten period so far as dancing is con-
cerned, but there have been dinner
parties every evening. The officials and
diplomats have entertained and been
entertained extensively since Ash
Wednesday, but the shortnesS Of the
season has left many festivities until
this penitential season. Dances and
balls have not been on the social calen-
dar. not even Mi-Careme last Thursday,
which was an opportunity for the de-
vout to be festive. In other years it has
been the date of a benefit ball, but so
many Of the charities are in the Com
munity Chest that these grow fewer
each year.
Easter is but three weeks off and al
ready plans are being made for a gay
Spring season. Although Easter comes
early, Spring has been here for some
time, the magnolia trees already show
ing pink buds and the pansy beds in
the parks being filled with sprightly
little faces of purple and gold. The
thousands OF visitors who come here for
Easter vacation will see many of the
glories Of Spring In the National Capt.

in Former Good Days

Another bright spot on the ma

county Fairgrounds last week,
check-up by fair officials Monday
night revealed.
While gate receipts ran far be-
hind other years, the savings board
members were able to make in ex-
penses and the response to the re-
duced admission price will enable
them to pay premiums in full and
much of last years debts. Early
reports that the fair had run be-
hind were found to be in error when
expenses were over estimated and
receipts exceeded expectations.
Gate receipts amounted to
$2,226.25 for persons and vehicles
or S,905 25-cent admissions, not con-
sidering season admission tickets.
Estimating 1000 cars, the paid adj
mission indicates 1000 persons while

SCHOOL ENROLMENT
73S; INCREASE OF A
Increase Exceeds Last. Years
Gain; Classes Start
AS Scheduled

Glasses, studies and school affairs
began again in Redwood falls Tues
day with an enrolment of 1888 stu
dents, an increase of Al over the
previous year. Last year an in
crease of 80 was reported.
Teaching personnel is very nearly
the same as last year and classes be-
gan as scheduled without loss of
time, enrolment having been COM
pleted last week.
The third and fourth grades re-
ported decreases of one and two pu-
pills in enrollments while all of the
other grade classes had large in
creases excepting the special class
where an enrolment of Is is record
ed for both years. There are 361
in the grades this year compared
with 324 last year.
Junior High school classes are
about the same sizes as last year
with a total of ITS enrolled in the
department this year against 176
last year. The Senior High shows
100 enrolled instead Of 1872 last year
while the teacher training depart
ment had IL enrolled each year.
Glasses this year are as follows:
first, SO; second, 60; third, 43;
fourth, 40; fifth, 65; sixth, 60; sew

impressive but considering condi-
tions and sacrifices made in gate
prices, the showing was highly en-
couraging to the board.
Last year the rained out fair gate
receipts amounted to $2,961 while
they hit a peak of $4,000 back in
1925. Grandstand receipts this year
were about the same as last year
while 1880 was the record year, hit
ting $4,000 from this source.
Concession receipts this year are
only half the 1881 fair mark and
hardly more than a third of record
years. The board this year barred
wheel outfits from the midway and
found scarcity of depression sur
vivors to take up space for shows
and other amusements.
In addition to other receipts, the
board will realize about $3.50 on the
dance pavilion from summer dances
and fair dances. This fund is held
separate from other receipts and
goes to pay off the Indebtedness on
the pavilion which should be cleared
after next year as only $3.50 will be
owed on it's construction after this
season.
Gross expense of the fair ran to
$500 which is considerable saw
ing over other years and was ac-
complished through the cooperation
of many business and professional
men and farmers who volunteered
their services. The premiums to
be paid to exhibitors amount to
$4,000 which is largely made up by
state appropriations and enables
the fair to declare the year success
full.
Receipts will be used to pay off
indebtedness incurred last year as
far as they will go. The fair ran
behind about $4,000 due to bad wea-
Their in 1881 and plans to pay as
much of this sum as possible out of
the 1892 receipts.
Since 1926 the fair has had many
ups and downs but has made i'm
provements on the grounds valued at
$4,000 and has scaled the indebted
ness of the society down from $751;
200 to $4,000.
The program and exhibits, this
year were among the best and larg-
est ever shown at a fair here. The
horse races which were started Tues
day before the small crowd in the
grandstand were excellent with
large entry lists all three days.

Gridiron; New Ulm
Is First Opponent
Prepare For Hard Schedule
With Many Positions
To Fill

Thirty-five high school men an
swered the call of Coaches j. L.
Brown and F. E. Christensen Tues
day evening for a light workout be-
ginning preparations for the first
game of the season to be played
with New Ulm on the Lincoln
school athletic field September "a.
Although football equipment was
issued to the players Monday after
noon, actual practice did not begin
until Tuesday evening after school.
Practice the first night continued
until after $50.
Nearly a veteran line is lifting
worries from the minds OF the
coaches, but three new men will be
needed for ball carrying positions.
Ward Cuff, fullback of four years
experience is among the vets of last
year who is certain of position as
a ball toter. He is the heaviest man
to report this year and tips the
scales at 1874 pounds. He may be
shifted from fullback to a half
back, Coach Brown stated.
Leroy Hardy, sophomore, who is
playing his first year of football, is
the second heaviest man to report,
weighing in at It's pounds following
practice. He may prove of valuable
assistance to the team at a guard
or tackle position.
Albert Corbett and Dale Byram
are two other huskies on the squad
who will undoubtedly see plenty of
action during the eight games which
are scheduled. Corbett weighed in
at 10 and Byram at 167 pounds.
Corbett is a veteran center and By

MURDER HAPPENED
But RADIO MIXED
WOOD WITH LAKE
Scare Here UnfOunded; Red
Lake Falls is Scene
of Killing

One woman was killed in tourist
camp near Red Lake Falls Friday
night and an attempt at killing
another was foiled by the Ortonville
sheriff the same night in a fracas
which excited Redwood Falls radio
listeners since false reports said the
second murder would be committed
here.
Reports by Minneapolis radio sta
ton said that three negroes from
there were on their way here to COM
nit murder. The report further
stated that a murder had been COM
mitted in the Twin Cities by the trio
before leaving for here. Sheriff L..
j. sKise spent several hours trying
to run the case down.
News of the alleged murder was
first spread over radio station WCCO
about 1880 p. m. when a descrip-
ton of the two men and one woman
was read. The report stated that
they were on their way to Redwood
Falls in a green Pontiac coupe to
murder an unknown person. A vivid
description of the trio, giving weight,
height and clothes they were wear
ing, was also detailed in the report.
Sheriff Kise had already gone to
bed when about 20 Redwood Falls
raaio listeners stormed into the
fsheriff's office and told him of the
report. He Immediately got in touch
with the radio station and the tele-
phone girl there told him the same
thing that had been broadcast.
When asked where the first muir
der had been committed, the girl
said she did not know but the three
were on their way to Redwood Falls
to commit the second. He asked her
if she were sure it was Redwood Falls
and not Red Lake Falls. She en-
phasized that the place had been de-
signated as Redwood Falls.
