FAIR GRANDSTAND
ACTS TO INCLUDE
BEST OF TALENT
Revue Booked For Program !;
Cyclers, Seals and Wire
Artists Coming

The grandstand attractions
booked for the Redwood county
fair, September %, "a, rs and 26
are costing more than usual this
season and will give fair custo-
mers vaudeville entertainment
comparable with the best seen
anywhere, editors of the county
learned Friday evening at a din
ner in Redwood Falls where they
were guests of the fair board.
The Continental Revue with 26
people including Fuller's broad
casting band and orchestra will be
the headliner. Lighting effects
add to the attractiveness of the
settings which feature choruses of
attractive young women in color
full costumes, all tap or toe dan
GERS and real artists in their line.
Sally Irwin, the prima donna has
been with eastern musical coined
les and is the hit of the show.
Harry Richards, comedian, is
master of ceremonies and the COM
pany includes the Manhattan
comedy four, singers and vaude-
vile entertainers with plenty OF
experience.
The four Cycling Kinks, another
attraction, ride cycles of every
variety known to the stage and
the Frisco Seals, jugglers with ex-
ceptional dexterity, are billed to
give the program an animal act
unusual in this section.
Other grandstand fun includes q
high wire act similar to one here
two years ago which proved the
big attraction that season, even
rivalling the racing program
which is one feature of the fair
that no other county fair can dup
licate.
Many phases of fair activities
were discussed at the meeting,
editors being asked to reveal
frankly any 'kicks" from their
community. An effort will be
made to carry out the suggestion
that the directorate Of the fair be
enlarged and that every part Of
the county be given representa-
ton. Auto racing, another idea
advanced, is not practical with
present facilities, fair officials
said. An effort will be made to
get more farmers clubs and town.
ship organizations of other kinds
to prepare booths for the fair.

At North Redwood

line IS COACHES
PROBLEM AS GRID
TRAINING BEGINS
8 Lettermen Back But Only
3 Regular Linemen;
Olivia First

With eight lettermen back, most
of them backfeld men, Coach
Earle Obermeyer began the task
Monday night of rebuilding Car
dinal eleven capable of pushing
around the eight husky teams he
has booked for the weeks between
September 20 and November 8.
1t was apparent to every one of
the handful of spectators, most OF
them former high school stars
wishing they were back in suit,
that the outcome of games will de-
pend upon what kind of line the
staff can build from the green but
quite husky and willing material
at hand.
A backfeld, with running, pas
sing, punting and tackling ability,
should be formed quite rapidly
with Bob Paffrath, Steve Inglis,
Clarence Discher and Russell and
Leo Joe Lauterbach from the "R''
club and Neale Serkland, Gene
Charlebois and half dozen other
aspirants keeping an eye out for
berths.
But the line-there young men
does opportunity to make a name
for yourself lie for with the ex-
ception of Dick Cole an end, Bob
Hosken a guard, and Lyman Has
senstab, a tackle, there is not a
veteran in sight. Several of the
candidates have had some line ex-
perience including the Lauter-
bachs who may be shifted front
from the backfield, but several of
the husky newcomers are likely to
get their first taste of battle in
the forward wall or as line reser-
yes.
Last years team started with
the tough end of it's schedule, the
team losing to New Ulm and Win
dom before it was in full swing,
upsetting Marshall and then TAX
ing it's third and last defeat from
the Glencoe powerhouse. The sea-
son ended with conquests of Mon
tevideo, Olivia. Sleepy Eye and a
tie with Tracy, for four wins,
three defeats and one tie.
This year the schedule opens
with Olivia which although beaten
only 8 to last year, probably will
have one of the lightest teams on
the slate. Tracy will be second and
the going will become steadily
tougher with Window, st. James,
Marshall, Montevideo and Glencoe
to contend with before the windup
at Springfield.
Monday and Tuesday practices,
with 80 men in suit, were devoted
to fundamentals with heavier
work slated for later this week
and early next as Obermeyer and
his two new assistants, Ben
Tom and Eilef Miller increase the
"drive" with each session.
Men not already mentioned who
are preparing for stardom this
season and in the seasons to come
are: Jack Shaw, Dick Whiting,
Ken DeGroat, Homer Day, Walter
Simondet, Andrew Smith, Harold
Quesenberry, Erwin Steele, Robert
Anderson, Glen Won Mosch, How
ard and Harry Hoffman, Tom VOL,
verton, Clark Thomson, Ted and
Louis Kruger, Robert Baldwin,
Howard Pelz, Paul Duea, Elmer
Dickmeyer and Norman Otto.

Sleeping Sickness
In Horses Declines
In Cooler Weather

DR.. C. L. Tompkins, Redwood
Falls veterinarian, stated We'd
nesday that the sleeping sickness
epidemic among horses in Red
wood county appears to be abating
with cooler weather which makes
flies and mosquitoes less active in
spreading the germs.
A majority of cases, he stated,
were near the river or some other
place which is a breeding place
for mosquitoes. Probably a dozen
or more horses, usually one or two
to an afflicted farm, have been
lost, he estimates although some
cases may not have been reported.

days of this month except where
a shortage of youngsters of school

the same as last year, 81 return
ing to their districts while "a are

ploying them.

Farmers May Vote
On COrn-HOg Plan
