For LandOn? Boy and
How, Kansan Says

A man who has known Landon
personally for nearly 20 years
who calls him "Alf' and is greet
ed as Bob" in return declared
in Redwood Falls Wednesday that
the Kansas mans record as gov
ernor should secure him election
as president of the United States
Robert j. Tyson, nephew OF
Joseph Tyson of Redwood Falls,
knew the presidential candidate
when they were county republi-
can chairmen in nearby Kansas
counties. Tyson lives at Parker,
Kansas, while Landon was then in
the oil business in Independence.
Working together in county pol
itics, the two men became friends.
Tyson and others in the group
soon learned to 60 to Landon for
sound council, he says, remarking
that the governor was seldom
wrong in his judgment.
His most remarkable trait, says
his old friend, is the gift of rem
embering even first names OF
persons only casually introduced
after years have elapsed.
Significant, he believes, is Lam
don's remark when he was first
elected governor, 81 can't under
stand why the public dollar can't
get the service of the private
dollar"
eff he is elected, Mrs. Landon
will be the most popular presi-
dents wife we have ever had, |"

" HOLDING HIS OWN HIS
PHYSICIANS SAY; WAS
IN CAR CRASH

Warren Boys, manager OF the
Model Dairy here, was described
as "'holding his own" Wednesday
afternoon at the Redwood Falls
hospital. His condition has been
very critical since last Wednesday
night when he was injured in a
car accident. An operation was
performed Thursday by DR.. Vern
Smith, Minneapolis specialist, but
doctors said it would be several
days before Improvement could
be expected.
Boys sustained ruptured in
testine and other internal injuries
when he was thrown against the
steering wheel of his car as it
struck another automobile be-
tween Wabasso and Redwood
Falls at about IL p. m. August

trip in Wabasso in his Chevrolet
sedan, he crashed into the side OF
an old Chevrolet which was turn
ing into the driveway of the
George Davis farm just ahead OF
him.
The car was owned by Marvin
Lueck of Neillsville, Wisconsin,
employee at the Herbert Winn
farm, who was accompanied by
Delbert Davis of Seaforth. Meth
er of the occupants was more than
slightly bruised.
Never losing consciousness in
spite of his severe injuries, Boys

He had changed a tire shortly
before the accident and placed
the defective tire and wheel in
the back seat. It is believed that

LADS MAKE FAST WORK
OF SODDING FIELD
FOR FALL PLAY

Barking signals, opening holes
and tackling great rolls of sod
with something of the determine
ton with which the enemy's
touchdown plunge is Checked. a
crew of 18 youths, most of them
prospects for the football squad
this fall, seasoned regulars or
alumni lettermen, began the task
this week of laying the sod for
the gridiron of the new athletic
field.
Two trucks are making regular
trips between the field at the Will
liam Lindeman farm, where the
sod is cut and rolled, and the
field where several "quarterbacks''
direct its backing into place. A
hose supplied with water from the
recreational association well pours
onto the tinder dry dust which
coats the field and a crew of
eight tackle the rolls, open them
and shove them into place.
Only opponent of this star sod
ding team which "plays" with
bare feet and stripped to the
waist is time, the necessity that
the sod grow and attach itself
firmly to the black loan being
spread beneath before whistles
blow and it is torn by many cleat-
shod feet. Principal aid in its
growth is the water which is
sprinkled upon it each evening.
At its present pace. the new
crew will be laying the last of
some 6,400 square yards, about
2 3-4 acres, September 1. That
will allow one month for the last
of the grass to take root. The
sod is in good condition and lays
well but will be rolled before
put in use.
Several members of the crew
run the interference for the sod
laying crew, raking and smoothing
the surface so that the finished
field will have no hills and valleys.
Everett McCuskey and other NYA
workers are filling the other re-
sponsible jobs while Glen Berg,
formerly of the Sacred Heart Nur-
sery, directs the sodding.
The last blocks on Third and
Fourth streets as they approach
the field and the street connecting
the two along the border of the
field are being graded up with the
surplus dirt which has accumulat-
ed with the scarifying of city
streets for black top treatment.

WabaSSo-Tragedy cast a pallor
over Wabasso's harvest festival
Friday when Jimmy Gumto, 8,
drowned in an open cistern on a
vacant lot where his father was
putting up the dance floor to be
used that evening.
The child was last seen playing

able dance floor The cistern had
been opened by workmen in the
course of re-assembling the struc-
ture and a cardboard placed over
the hole. While the workmen were
busy unloading the floor, the child
must have stepped on the light
covering, unnoticed, and tumbled
into the well.
