THE ZOO. POOH!

TO THE Indians (this Is the Indian
number of the Wayside) the Zoo
turned out to be something Of fiEzle,
until-but wait minute. The buf-
faloes, the deer and the mountain
sheep were nothing new.
Crocodiles were merely evergrown
lizards. Lions were cougars with
whiskers. Snakes? Pooh! But frogs
that was something. There was a lot
Of talk about the frogs. What were
they for? Well, some people ate them
What kind Of noise did they make
Our genial host made q noise like Q
frog. Where do they come from? Our
host got all mixed up in the pollywog
business. He was foored when they
asked how to tell q COW frog from .

about going to the Washington Monu-

SWEET TEETH.
IF ANYTHING ever goes wrong with
the functioning Of the Department
Of Commerce, q citizen who had

be. Dyspepsia!
His assumption grows out of an ex-
perience in watching two men who
were eating at an adjoining table.
The meal Of one Of them consisted
of strawberry shortcake, a dish Of
vanilla ice cream and piece Of apple
pie. The other was more conservative
He had only the shortcake and ice

BOARD OPTIMISTIC ON
PROSPECTS FOR
BIG YEAR

Pleased with the results obtain
ed last year and highly optimistic
about the prospects for big crowds
this season, the Redwood county
fair board is giving serious con-
sideration to a plan to award three
automobiles to fair visitors this
fall.
Although details have not been
worked out, the plan probably will
be very similar to last year except
that three cars instead of two will
be used, .one each day the last
three days of the fair.
The fair board met Friday eve
ming when the plan was discussed
and details will be worked out at
meeting this week. 1t was
agreed that three bicycles will be
given on children's tickets the
same as last season.
Merchants bought tickets and
gave them with dollar purchases
last year to defray the expense of
the premiums which resulted in
greatly increased attendance. Fair
dates this year are September %,
20, 80 and October l.
AS protection against fire at the
fair grounds, the fire department
was asked to burn the grass
around the buildings.

Taking Back
Indian Land
PLAN is TO GIVE EACH
FAMILY SUBSISTENCE
HOMESTEAD

Preliminary steps toward the
provision of subsistence tracts for
indians on the Lower Sioux agen-
cy were made Tuesday when j.
w. Balmer of the Pipestone In
dian school and Carl Pearson of
the Indian service land division
made arrangements for the pur-
chase of land adjoining the re-
servation.
With a federal grant Of SIS, 900
available for land purchases the
men plan to buy back original por-
tions of the reservation which
have been sold from time to time
by the Indian residents. If addi-
tional acreage is needed, the in
tention is to buy the farmland ly-
ing east of the present agency
boundaries.
Many families now are without
space for gardens and farms, de-
pending chiefly on public works
projects for their support and It
is hoped to make each family self
sufficient so far as a livelihood is
concerned.
Eighteen or 20 acres is the
usual amount of land required by
the families, many of whom are
now living without proper homes
and without surrounding property.
With the housing program in eff
feet June / under the direction 1f
E. T. Brodell, also of the Pipe
stone division, home conditions
have been somewhat improved.
The land purchase is to be COM
pleted as rapidly as possible.

c. Showalter
Died Monday
In California
FORMER BUSINESS MAN
HERE DIES WHILE
IN SWIMMING

Charles M. Showalter, Redwood
Falls businessman for about ten
years and for the last five years a
resident of Long Beach, Califor-
mia, died Monday morning from a
heart attack while swimming in
the lagoon near his home.
Never having completely recov-
cred from q severe attack of pneu-
monia, Mr.. Showalter had been
urged by his physicians to take
life easy so as to avoid perman-
ent invalidism. Aggravated by
the illness of his son, Charles, his
condition made it necessary for
him to give up his work several
months ago. However, he plan
ned to resume his position this
weekend.
After restless night, he sought
relaxation at the pool early Mon
day morning and was stricken
while in the water. Life guards
called the inhalator squad, but he
could not be revived.
Funeral services were held
Wednesday morning and burial
was at Long Beach. His wife and
two children, Charles Jr. and Ell
oise survive.
Mr.. Showalter came here from
Minneapolis to manage the shoe
department in the Philbrick store
and later established what is now
the Johnson Shoe store. He dis
posed of his stock after the fire in
February 1881 which destroyed
the Palace department store which
adjoined his store and moved his
family to California.
