BalkoDefends State
Husking Title Friday
CHAMP BECAME FATHER
MONDAY OF IN
POUND GIRL

Apprehensive that severe cold
from which he is now suffering
will hamper his usual champion
ship corn-tossing, Ted Balko, Red
wood county's representative in
the state husking meet Friday
will nevertheless be spurred to his
utmost efforts to bring home the
Minnesota crown to his first child,
seven and half pound daughter
born Monday.
Five times state champion and
1884 national bang-board chief,
Balko refused to comment on his
chances of winning this year. He
admitted that, were it not for his
cold, he felt in top shape and that
the competition does not look any
more formidable than in preced-
ing years. He expects to be ac-
companied to the contest by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Adolph Bal
ko, arriving in time to get good
nights sleep Thursday.
Schugel Entered
Leo Schugel, Brown county
champion who nosed out George
Magen of Wabasso in the Red
wood county meet in which Balko
as state champion was not obliged
to compete, will also husk in the
Rice county battle.
In the state meet at Heron Lake
last year Ted husked 28.217 BUSH
els, new state record, as compar-
ed to the 1854 which Schugel
who placed third tailed. The field
used in 1885 yielded about 80
bushels to the acre while the Rice
county field is expected to run
only about 65.
The J. R. Baumgarten farm
near Morristown, will be the scene
of the skill-game that has jar
gon of bangboards and husks,
stripping and tossing.
Build Tent City
Tents are being obtained to
shelter the lunchstands and to
serve as comfort stations for the
thousands expected to attend. Six
churches of Morristown and the
Rice county All Club federation
will sell refreshments.
There will be no tedious waiting
at the corn rows this year while
the judges weigh the contestants
bushels and ponder the winner.

Cannon City will furnish music in

Mother Gives Objections t.
Long Hours Required
of Players

Beginning series of discus
sions of "The Welfare of Your
Child and Mine," a program feat
uring School Athletics" was pre-
sented at a meeting of the Parent
Teacher association Monday eve
ming in the Lincoln auditorium.
Because Redwood Falls is foot
ball-minded at the present time,
Coach Earle Obermeyer based his
talk on that branch of athletics
explaining the system of offensive
and defensive plays used here
and discussing fully the possibi-
lities of the game in developing
character, courage, health and
other attributes of good citizen
ship. Mr.. Obermeyer said that
athletic insurance, not yet avail
able for Minnesota high schools,
will do much for the game which,
he propheised, will in ten years
occupy as important a place on
the school curriculum as any of
the present high school subjects.
He showed too that football of to-
day is far less dangerous as a
sport than it was few years ago
and with the constant develop
ment of better equipment, injur-
les become fewer and fewer.
Mrs. F. H. Anthony, describing
herself as not too interested in
football, questioned the value of
game which requires SO many
hours after school with the added
possibility of costly injuries.
However, she said, the preceding
talk offered much encouragement
for mothers of football players.
Frankly admitting that she has
for several years disapproved of
the long school day, Mrs. Anth-
ony humorously decried a system
which keeps growing children in
doors for more hours than many
men work.

And 50 presently they went to bed. Kay in her room, the door closed, stood uncertainty for Q mos ment, listening to his steps as he moved along the hall. She heard his door close. His room was next to hers, his movements faintly au. dible through the walls. She lis- tened, almost breathlessly: and then she went softly across to her dressing table, moving quietly as though afraid he might hear her. She prepared for the night: yet when she was ready she did not ct once get into bed. Standing in front of her mirror, she watched her own image in the glass, with out seeing 1t. All her senses were concentrated on listening, listen- ing for the small sounds from the next room.
 His bed had Q rusty spring, which creaked; the light switch in the wall by his door made Q sharp sound when he snapp.l the lights on and off. She had learned to follow the routine of his prepara- tons for the night by these sounds. So many times she had heard, re- motely, the shrill summons of the telephone, the creaking spring as he rose on one elbow to answer 1t, the snap of the light switch, the thud of his bare feet across the floor; and presently afterward the sound of his opening door, and his steps as he moved quietly along the hall to go out in answer to the call.
 So tonight she was able to be sure what he did. She knew when he sat down on his bed to take of his shoes, heard them thump as he dropped them, heard Q chair scrape across the floor as he drew 1t near the foot of the bed to lay his trousers there. She waited, not seeing herself at all, although she faced the mirror steadily. The mirror was set in the inside of her closet door; 1t was full length. The light hung just above 1t.
 After time she heard his win- dows open. His feet crossed the floor toward the door. Then the light switch snapped, and Q mos ment later, the bed creaked. That rusty spring squeaked once or twice more as he pulled up the blankets and settled himself for sleep. Then there was no further
