PLUNGE INTO RAVINE
AVOIDED WHEN POLE
HALTS CAR; 3 SAVED

An epidemic of minor accidents
here and in other parts of the
county this week resulted in close
calls and damage to motor Vehic-
les but no serious injuries.
Only a pole saved three Red
wood Falls youths from 100 foot
drop into the ravine south of
Hanson's tourist establishment
Tuesday morning.
Donnamae Sinclair, driver of
the car, lost control of the mach
inc as she was attempting to fix

golf course, the car swerved to the
left but was stopped at the edge
of the cliff.
Bertha Richard received slight
scratches, but neither Miss Sim

RADIO PROGRAM WILL
ADVERTISE JUBILEE
AND COUNTY FAIR

Redwood Falls Diamond Jubilee
and the Redwood county fair will
be advertised over WCCO, Min
neapolis, Monday, August z from
4: As to p. m.
The Scenic City band will play
as part of the radio program,
one event in the city's "On to
Nicollet" day.
Plans to. ask each city business
man to sponsor one band member,
defraying his expenses are being
considered by the committee. The
band is called on so often to per-
form free of charge that it is only
fair to furnish their trarsporta-
ton and other expenses, the COM
mittee pointed out.
The West hotel in Minneapolis
will be headquarters for the
throngs who go 'On to Nicollet,"
Willard Holmberg announced
Wednesday. He is chairman of
the committee arranging the trek.
There will be no Redwood Falls
parade in Minneapolis that day
committee members decided this
week. Weather has been so warm
the band would find it extremely
uncomfortable to march, they said.
Anyone who has room for band
members is urged to call S. w.
Limburg as soon as possible.
Those who plan to attend the
night game between the Millers
and Milwaukee and see the pro-
gram are asked to notify H. E.

Company L to
Receive More
NEW DRILL SYSTEM
TO SPEED TRAINING
OF ARMY RECRUITS

Light machine guns, 60 milli-
meter mortarS and semi-automatic
rifles will be added to Company
rs equipment, Captain w. H.
Lamberton said this week.
More evidence of the national
guards preparation for any
eventuality was apparent Mon
day night when preliminary in
struction in new infantry drill re-
gu!ationS was given the Redwood
Falls company at its regular drill
session.
The new system, to be fully
outlined by August and go into
effect September l, simplifies
company organization and man.
euvers SO that recruits can learn
drills in three or four practices,
rather than a year, the time gen.
orally required under the present
plan.
A surprising item in the new
set-up is the reduction of the
company'S wartime strength TO
approximately 155 men and six
officers, from a previous emer-
gency strength of 1913 enlisted
men and five officers The peace
time roll under which the COM
pany now operates calls for &c
men and three Officers.
The development of more eff
ficient firearms since the World
war makes the man-strength re-
duction possible, Captain Lam
berton explained.
The old squads right" and
squads left" will be dropped
from the list of orders when the
new drill regulations become eff
fective. The new rules are so
flexible that it isn't necessary to
have a set number of men to a
squad.
Squads will drill in line or
column, not in double ranks as
has been the practice The change
will result in simplification of
close order drill, used mainly for
discipline.
Besides upping the size of rifle
squads from eight men to IL, the
federal government will equip the
company here with semi-automa-
tic eight shot rifles, replacing the
old bolt-action five-shot guns.
The new infantry company war
strength will include three pla-
toons of riflemen; a headquarters
platoon of two to seven man
squads made up of light machine
gun squads and two to five man
squads armed with so millimeter
mortars.
There will be more non-com-
misSioned officers under the new
system as specialists in the use of
various types of arms are requir-
ed.
The manual of arms has been
changed somewhat, too.
Now on government presses,
the new infantry drill regulations
will be out in August. When the
new equipment will arrive is not
known as the regular army is
being furnished new arms first.
