WEEKEND CRASHES
LEAVE 6 uNJUkED
County's Long List Swelled
With Two Accidents
Early Monday

The list of persons injured in
weekend accidents in Redwood
county this summer heightened
shortly after midnight Sunday
when six persons were hurt in two
mishaps between Belview and Sea-
forth.
Approaching a bridge as they
were travelling north from Sea-
forth, five young people of the
Belview vicinity were cut and
bruised when the driver took the
ditch in preference to crashing in
to an oncoming car on the narrow
bridge. Adolph Newman sus-
tained a cut on the temple requir-
ing stitches and an injured back
and Emma Hogsven suffered num-
erous cuts about the hips and
shoulders. Hazel Jorgerson receiv-
ed cuts and bruises about the face
and legs. Two others in the car,
Bernard Jorgerson and Lawrence
Baklep suffered only minor injur-
les.
The car was completely demol-
ished.
AS the car which they avoided
hitting continued on without stop
ping, the injured persons waited
for another passing motorist who
brought them to Redwood Falls
for treatment.
Going home to Seaforth with his
wife and family at about 2 a. m.
Monday, Frank Macht suffered a
badly torn and cut arm when his
car overturned. It was struck from
the rear by a Wabasso creamery
truck, and turned over three times.
Mrs. Macht, two small children
and a six months old baby also
riding in the car were uninjured.

September Campaign
For Traffic Safety
Proclaimed by Olson

Motorists and pedestrians alike
today were called on by Governor
Floyd B. Olson to join a volunteer
campaign for the reduction of the
constantly increasing traffic NOR
tality rate.
In a proclamation setting aside
the month of September "for the
voluntary and complete observan-
ce to traffic regulations with the
object Of reducing accidents and
injuries and deaths to the absolute
minimum, he urged every citizen
in the state to actively participate
in the campaign to reduce traffic
accidents.
Both law enforcing agencies and
laymen were asked to intensity
their efforts in the drive for more
efficient traffic law observance. A
report is to be made to the Cover
nor on or after October 10 on the
efforts made to effect voluntary
observance of traffic regulations,
the effect Of the campaign and the
punitive measures taken to require
strict observance of the laws.

An escaped slave of the Romans,
Androclus, according to history,
befriended an injured lion in the
desert by removing thorn from
it's foot. Later when he was cap
tured and tossed to the lions to be
eaten, that grateful beast fawned
at his feet, saved his life and later
became his pet.
No such spectacular legend sur
rounds the friendship between w.
A. Marsh, Ramsey park superin-
tendent and the animals which he
tends daily yet no one who has
watched him mingle with them is
any more anxious to change places
with him than were the Romans to
take Androclus' place.
Beginning several years ago,
Mr.. Marsh has built up small
but interesting zoo. His animal
kingdom includes wolves, foxes, an
eagle, a wild cat, several coons
and badgers besides several var
ieties of pheasants and the herds
of buffalo, elk and deer.
Perhaps no single resident of
Redwood's scenic spot has created
more attention and amusement to
the thousands of park visitors
than little Betty, the wiry, four
year-old monkey.
Her every action from early
morning until dusk is watched
each Sunday by crowds.
People who throng before the
cages to watch the animals at play
realize how tame they have be-
come. But they do not realize
that their training is the work OF
one man, Mr.. Marsh.
He has domesticated the ami.
mails to such an extent that he
goes into each cage to feed ano
water the occupants. On paper
that does not appear to be such 9
great feat but remember practical.

STOP SLAUGHTER
SLOGAN OF meet
Persons in 6 States And 2
Provinces Invited To
st. Paul Meeting

With "Stop This Slaughter" as
their slogan, representative men
and women from six Northwest
states and two Canadian provinces
will gather in st. Paul, September
II and IS, to formulate a triple
barreled program designed to cut
down the traffic death toll in this
area.
The reason for the conference is
obvious. 1t is found in the thou
sands of northwest traffic TRACED
les which have left Scared trail
of death, injury and property dam
age in their wake. 1t lies in the
almost daily newspaper stories
telling of parents bereaved OF
their sons and daughters, children
left orphaned, couples separated
by death, families deprived of
their bread winners.
Those in charge of the conferen-
ce believe the number of such
tragedies can be materially cut
down through education, law en-
forcement and cooperation. The
three-fold program which they in
tend to work out, therefore, will
call for:
Education of the public in gen.
eral and motorists in particular to
the vital necessity Of careful driv-
ing and observance of traffic
rules.
Strict and uniform law enforce
ment which will curb careless and
reckless driving on the part of
those who need coercion.
Cooperation in the traffic safe
ty movement, not only by civic or
ganizations and law enforcement
agencies, but by every citizen of
the northwest.
To further such a program, in
vitations to attend the conference
have been extended to governors,
state and provincial officials, safe
ty leaders, school police execu-
tives, women's organizations, law
enforcement officers and the judi
ciary of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, North and South Dakota,
Montana and the Canadian provin-
ces of Manitoba aid Ontario.
The conference schedule calls
for a general session from 2 p. m.
to 4:3O p. m. September IL, with
Governor Floyd B. Olson of Min
nesota making the keynote ad-
dress and talks being given by the
state and provincial chief execu-
tives or their authorized represen-
tatives.
That evening, representatives in
the various divisions will meet for
round-table discussions on specific
phases of the traffic problem, with
a view to working out definite rec
concentrations.
These recommendations will be
submitted to the entire conference
at a second general session to be
held from $3.50 a. m. to 1890 p. m.
September 18. The schedule calls
for adoption at this session of a
comprehensive traffic accident
prevention program, with adjourn
ment of the conference following
a closing address by Chief Justice
John P. Devaney of the Minnesota
Supreme court.

Ducks Getting More
Scarce, Warden Says

Redwood county boasts 161
ducks, according to Lyle Tweet,
game warden who completed a
count this week. This is a few
more than were seen last year, Mr..
Tweet says.
Compared to the 5000 ducks re-
corded in Mobiles county, the num-
Der seems small particularly to old
time county residents who have
memories of duck-filled sloughs
when mallards were slaughtered
with clubs. Each year, the num-
Der diminishes, Mr.. Tweet says,
except that last year the number
of birds was exceptionally low be-
cause of the drouth.

Killings on Highways Arouse State; Conference

lurid are the details that we hesitate
to shock our readers with it, particul-

new lists of killed and injured, the
fact becomes more apparent that the
situation must be faced fearlessly,
that something drastic must be done
to bring home to those who make
death traps of cars and highways, the
seriousness of their crime. With this
explanation and warning we reprint
the following excerpts from that

came here on the train in a crate,
men had difficulty in getting near

the one who has survived captivity

Mr.. Marsh, the only park en-
ployee who can do it, walked into
the cage of the wolves Sunday,
took the two by their collars and
led them outside where they were
tied. They are timber wolves but
have become almost as tame as
dogs.
Betty, formerly the Mint Cafe
Monkey, is released from her pen

around the grounds. A paddock is
necessary because she can unlatch

accordingly. Mr.. Marsh explain

considerable time Sunday.

the building and goes through the
door after swinging down from

One day not long ago, Betty

sent her scampering home faster
than she had ever gone before.
Now when she won't go in, he
starts for the rifle and she scam

CHANGE IN Law
ALLOWS ARREST
80 Days In Jail or $1OO
Fine Can Be Melted To
Law Breakers

The state highway patrol, which
for years was prohibited by law
from making arrests for speeding,
has now joined forces with other
safety agencies in an effort to re-
duce dangerous speed on the high
ways.
N. w. Elsberg, state highway
commissioner has announced that
after a study of legal points in
volved, he has ordered the patrol
to treat excessive speed in the
same manner as other traffic law
law violations.
John P. Arnoldy, chief of the
patrol, is working out detailed
plans for his men to follow in COM
batting the speeders who menace
other traffic upon the trunk sys-
tenn.
The state legislature of 1929, in
creating the highway patrol, ex-
pressly prohibited the patrol from
enforcing speed laws. Succeeding
legislatures followed the same
policy. This year, however, when
the legislature gave added police
powers to the patrol, it omitted
from the law the words which pre-
viously protected speeders.
"The way is open for the patrol
to prosecute speeders, and we
have determined to exercise that
authority, Chief Arnoldy said.
Modern motor cars are capable of
such tremendous speeds that
greater regulation is imperative to
reduce the traffic killing on our
public highways"
On the open highway, outside of
built up sections, school zones and
other special situations, the state
law provides that any speed over
as miles an hour constitutes prima
facie evidence of driving faster
than is reasonable. That is, per-
SON arrested for speeding on the
open road, if going faster than As
miles an hour, would have to prove
to the court that his speed was
reasonable and not endangering
other users of the highway.
"We are not going to set 45
miles an hour as a speed limit,
said Mr.. Arnoldy. "The patrolmen
will be instructed to exercise their
judgment and make arrests for
high speeds in accordance with
traffic conditions and other sur
rounding circumstances"
A conviction for speeding will
make the motorist liable to, i'm
prisonment for up to 80 days, or to
a fine of up to $100.

CROWDS AT FAIRS
OF STATE EXCEED
/ LATE YEAR MARKS
Redwood Fair officials See
Bright Prospects For
Good Year Here

Encouraged by reports of record
crowds at most of the county fairs
already held, Redwood county fair
officials are hopeful that the de-
preston period for fairs has pass
ed and are building a program de-
signed to attract and entertain the
best crowd in years September %,
"a, 25 and 26.
About two-thirds of the states
96 fairs have been held, with more
going on this week. Enormous
crowds have been reported in spite
of the late threshing season which
has interfered with day crowds.
The rush of farm work has reduc-
ed exhibits in some place but no
difficulty is anticipated here as
the fair is again the last in the
entire state and comes at a time
when the rush farm work is well
out of the way.
The program will follow the
lines of previous fairs, with horse
races featured and entries almost
certain to be as numerous and
fast as ever, high class grand
stand acts, band concerts, a horse
shoe tournament being organized
by Rev. w. j. Langholz of Wanda,
and numerous other events.
The exhibits of All club men,
bers are going to be more numer-
Gus this year than ever, with large
enrollments in practically every
department. School exhibits also
will be an interest center.
The premium books, now avail
able at many places and always by
writing to the fair secretary at
Redwood Falls have been revised
to a considerable extent particul-
arly in the women's departments
and should be carefully studied.
Fair officials urge residents of the
territory to check the book over
carefully believing practically
every family can find some depart
ment in which it can profitably
enter exhibits.
Mr.. Hauck this week issued the
following notice:
Exhibitors at the Redwood
County fair who have stood in
line for an hour or more may avoid
this congestion on entrv day and
should welcome the news-that
they can make their entries and
secure claim checks at the city hall
Saturday, September 21, between
the hours of / 80 and $3.50 p. m.
Or they may send them to or
leave them with the secretary, w.
A. Hauck, any time before then to
be delivered Saturday, September
81 at the city hall or they can be
secured at the secretary's office
on the fair grounds any time be-
fore p. m. on entry day-Mon-
day, September %.
Entries should be made out on
one side of entry blanks only and
in the language of the premium
book-enclose one dollar for an
exhibitors ticket which will admit
you to the grounds for the entire
fair. Stock exhibitors should state
number Of pens or stall space re-
quired.
If you have not secured a pre-
MUM book or are in need of addi-
tional blanks drop post card to
W. A. Hauck, secretary who will
see that you are supplied.
Township or farmers clubs plan
ming a booth exhibit should notify
the secretary at once so that booth
space can be reserved. There is
great demand for booth space this
year.
