Council Approves
Fair Grounds Beer
Sanders, Hauck Ask Permit on
Claim that Sales Stop
''Spiking" Drinks

Accepting mayor II. ~. AHorp
promise that he would veto the ac-
tion, city council members passed a
motion to allow beer at the fair
grounds during the fair and then
passed it over the veto at the Sep
tember meeting at the city hall Tues
day evening.
Their action makes special meet
ing Of the council to pass the motion
over the mayors veto unnecessary.
City Recorder Frank G. Hubbard was
instructed to issue the permit.
Parker D. Sanders and w. A.
Hauck, president and secretary Of
the fair association, appeared before
the council. Mr.. Sanders told coun-
Gil members that fair officials feel
the sale Of beer on the grounds last
year was conducted in an orderly
manner and that they are justified in
asking for another permit.
He stated that the board plans to
sell beer in the same manner and at
the same location. Only beer on tap
will be sold, he said and no bottle
beer will be allowed on the grounds
to prevent "spiking."
George A. Patton moved that the
board be allowed the license and j. F.
Knudson seconded the motion. Three
council members voted for it. w. L..
Hardy was called outside shortly be-
fore and was not present for the
vote.
Mayor H. D. Thorp told Mr.. Sand
ers that he had not changed his
stand since last year when he vetoed
the permit He promised, however,
that he would call special meeting
for further action on the matter.
The motion to authorize the city
recorder to issue the permit, saving
a special meeting, was made by Mr..
Hardy and seconded by Mr.. Knudson.
1t was adopted unanimously.
The B. F Lane company Of Mime
apolis will begin work Monday,
cleaning and repairing the city water
tower. One of the men is here now,
making preparations.
Property owners in the business
section Of Redwood Falls will be
notified soon to change the drainage
of water from the caves on their
buildings from the sanitary sewer to
the storm sewers.

BALL PLAYERS OF
4 COUNTIES Will
PLAY FAIR GAMES
3-Game Tournament Between
Big Six and Straight Eight
Leagues Planned

Redwood county fair board men,
bers this week announced an entire
ly new feature for the 1884 fair
which will be of interest to baseball
fans in at least four counties.
A three game series is being ar
ranged between picked players from
the Straight Eight league and SIM
liar team of Big Six players. Games
will be played September 25 and 26
and unless one team wins both days,
a third will be played September 27,
last day of the fair. All games will
be in the morning, ending before the
horse races and grandstand shows.
Fans of both leagues will help pick
players using the ballots in the Ga
zette and other newspapers. Elmer
Helgeson, Redwood Falls promoter,
has full charge of the arrangements.
Because the Big Six league has two
less teams than the "8'' league, it
will be granted the right to use Wal
nut Grove players, Walnut being in
the Western Minnesota league. To
make the event of even wider inter-
est, both leagues will be allowed to
pick players from neighboring towns
such as Fairfax, Morton, Franklin
and Olivia. In this way fans will
have an opportunity to see the very
best baseball talent of Redwood, Rem
vile, Brown and Yellow Medicine
counties. A large number of players
will be used in the two or three
games.
Teams included in the Big Six
loop are Springfield, Comfrey and
Leavenworth Of Brown county and
Wanda, Morgan and Sanborn in Red
wood county. In the Straight Eight
league are Lucan, Seaforth, Redwood
Falls, Delhi, Belview and Clements
of Redwood county and Echo in Vel
low Medicine.
Arrangements are being made for
liberal purse and for an approved
umpire of the state association. 1t
is probable that scouts from St. Paul
or Minneapolis American association
clubs will be here to look over several
players whose ability has attracted
some attention.

Fair Prize Books
Being Distributed
New County Cattle Class One
of Features; Will Have
Tent for Dancing

Premium books for the 1884 Red
wood county fair are off the press
and are being widely circulated with
the expectation that generous awards
offered will bring large number of
exhibits to the fair, September "a,
25, 26 and 81.
One new division has been added
this year which will be of special in
terest to local exhibitors. 1t is the
Redwood county cattle division which
makes it unnecessary for herds here
to compete with more or less profess
sional herds from other counties. This
class is expected to bring in many
cattle which previously were not ex-
hibited.
Prospective exhibitors should pro-
cure premium books at once from
banks or stores where they have been
distributed or by writing w. A..
Hauck, Redwood Falls, fair secretary.
lEntries in some divisions close Sep
tember II.
Principal innovation in the pro-
gram this season will be the all-star
baseball tourney for which players
will be picked by vote of fans. De-
tails of this feature and ballot ap-
pear elsewhere in this issue.
Redwood Falls merchants will
again be asked to donate their time
for police duty and other work at the
grounds during the fair. Business
men are urged by the fair board to
do this work themselves if possible
rather than send substitutes.
The fair board also has announced
that portable dance floor under a
tent has been secured to substitute
for the pavilion which blew down
and burned during the summer.

SLUICE GATE PLAN
TAKEN TO COUNTY
BOARD BY SANDERS
IL Miles of DrOuth Relief Road
Approved by Commissioners;
Arends Absent, Hurt

Howard P. Sanders of Redwood
Falls appeared before the county
commissioners Tuesday morning and
explained his plan for installing
sluice gates in county bitches so they
would serve as reservoirs in dry
weather as we'll as for drainage in
wet seasons.
The plan has been discussed at
length in recent Gazette editorials
and many farmers are interested in
the proposal. The plan was talked
over briefly by board members, some
of whom believe the matter can be
brought up only by a petition Of
landowners affected. 1t is generally
agreed that the system would be
valuable. The only objection raised
is that it might in time tend to clog
tile outlets.
The board approved IL miles of
new road construction by farmers
who received drouth relief. Road pro-
jects are in Vesta, Underwood, West
line, Granite Rock, Sheridan, Swedes
Forest, Kintife, Delhi and Vail town.
ships. Six miles of such road were
built in August. A petition asking
that a road in Springdale township
be graveled was tabled.
The board worked without its chair
man, John Arends, who was injured
last week when he fell from a step
ladder at his farm home near LAM
berton. Mr.. Arends is confined to his
bed, suffering from bruises. 1t is one

ago, the Wankels and Noes try to
render the general and widespread
opposition to the present county
administration ineffective. By
forming a new Liberty party they
are building up the chances for
the politicians to stay in office.
Their first effort failed. They did
not succeed in stealing the Com
munist ticket. If they would have
gained their end at the primary
the building of this new party
would have become unnecessary.
This fact alone should show con-
clusively how sincere" these mis-
leaders of the Holiday Association
are in their efforts to form a
"united front" ticket.
On September l farmers will
have their opportunity to tell Moe
and. Wankel and their friends what
they think of their treachery. They
will be able to expose their sell
out and tell these takers that it is
time for them to quit.

bury paper are the Boulds, Moe,
Wankel, Gallagher, etc. With the
exception of Moe all are renegades
from Communism, who sometime
ago have been kicked out of the
Communist party. Paid by Main
street, as Mr.. Moe himself admits,
these elements are making every
effort to form a new Liberty par
ty. What they ale going to call
it makes no difference. The pur-
pose is the same: To split the
Communist vote for the benefit of
the Folks and the Mainstreet poll

The Holiday Association is being
used as an organizational basis.

been asked their opinion whether

outright betrayal of farmers in

the Holiday decided for them and
members of the Holiday Executive

pie.
The present sheriff and the two
county commissioners are the ones
mostly discussed. The general
opinion seems to be that they will
rot be able to make the grade.
And, there seem to be good rea-
sons for it.
With 1900 families on relief an
estimate of 1000 voters on relief is
very conservative, this means more
than half of the voters in the coun-
ty. Probably 80 per cent of the
people in the county are in arrears
with taxes and interest. 1t would
be foolish for these people to vote
for the present administration from
which tkev have received nothing
ard can expect nothing in the flu
ture.
Vo'ing for a sheriff who lined
up a bunch of deputies with shot
guns, ready to shoot the farmers
in order to protect machine COM
pany and willing to do it again,
and voting for county commission
ers who advocate ga more con-
servative standard of living" would
be foolish move for people who
are down and out.
What people are looking for is
a better standard of living, anC
that's what they are going to vote
for. They are going to vote fol
/ people who are on the same leve
with .hemselves-people who hav'
taken an active and leading par
in demonstrations and Struggle

commissioners, Chris Heiberg for

cation of man to hold public Of

his subscription to the Plentywood

is just so much political bunk.
What about fellows like Simon
Faaborg and Jack Gibbons, who
arranged for the Democratic con-
vention, and had the ticket stolen
by Harry Polk before they had a
chance to complete the ticket, de-
feated by Harry Folks under
handed tricks. Does anybody with
sound mind think that these peo-
pie are going to support the rene
gade ticket that Polk slipped over,
a democratic ticket without a
Democrat?
And Nels P. Miller, "ready to
do everything for his party" That
sounds like Nels has a party and
stands ready 10 march up with his
355 supporters and help elect the
men who defeated him. Nothing
of the kind is going to happen,
and it is safe to say that Nels is
not going to vote for Hans Mad
