Extension Bureau. The pro­grams include a lecture by one of the well-known lecturers of the day, an evening's entertain­ment bv a dramatic reader, an impersonator, and two other ex­cellent musical organizations be­side the Philharmonic players. The lecture course committee be­lieves it to be the best program from the popular standpoint that has been given in Redwood Falls for several seasons.

Through the University Bu­reau this course comes to Red-yood Falls more cheaply than

previous courses.. Season tick­ets will be sold for just one-halt of those for former seasons. A small charge will be made for reserved seats at each program.

No Slight Intended Lamberton, judging from an

item in The Star of last week, is feeling a bit slighted because the Scenic City Band visited the town last Wednesday evening and failed to furnish any music on the str§et. As a matter of fact, the Band didn't visit the town. The members of the or­ganization who took supper at Lamberton were only a part of the whole Band and they had no music with them, as that had been left in Walnut Grove with the other players who returned to Redwood Falls later. Under such conditions it would have been utterly impossible for the boys to have played anything which would have given any en­joyment to an audience, other­wise they would have gladly played while at Lamberton. The Scenic City Band will play often Wednesday, Thursday and Fri­day at the County Fair Grounds and Lamberton citizens are cor­dially invited to come and hear them.

Visitors at the Redwood Coun­ty Fair this week are requested to buy their season tickets on the streets of Redwood Falls, thereby avoiding possible delay and confusion at the entrance gate to the fair grounds. There will be a ticket seller in an easily accessible place in town and, both for the convenience of the fair management and the ticket purchasers, it is requested that tickets be purchased of him.

Tuesday is entry day and no admission to the grounds is charged, but for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday season tickets should be purchased be­fore going to the grounds.

Start W. C. T. U. Teas Mrs. Henry Kuch entertained

a group of fourteen ladies at a very delightful Tea Party Sat­urday afternoon. This is the beginning of a chain of ten cent teas given by the W. C. T. U. five of these ladies Mesdames Collins, Kuenzli, Carkuff, Callag-han and Horr pledging each to give a similar tea, securing five of her guests to continue the chain in like manner. Mrs. Col­lins entertained the guests with a selection which was very in­teresting nqt only to temper­ance workers, but equally so to those engaged in missionary work, setting forth as it did, the awful conditions in Africa due to the white man's drink and the need of co-operation be­tween temperance and mission­ary workers in abolishing this great evil. A talk and discus­sion followed on the temperance outlook which was heartily en­tered into by those present.

Redwood Falls Should Take Her Own Census Several of the larger towns

in Minnesota are taking their own census, feeling that because the 1915 Legislature eliminated the census-taking from among the state functions is no reason towns should have no accurate knowledge of their populations.

Redwood Falls' inhabitants have not been counted since 1910 and she is credited with 1,666 citizens, women and chil­dren. Without question this lacks several hundred of being the correct number as the city has grown steadily during the last few years. There is a feel­ing amiong the business men that steps should be taken to as­certain the present population exactly and as soon as possible.

Waseca is handling this work of census-taking very easily and inexpensively through the Com-

j mercial Club. Committees of the I club members are appointed, i each to canvas one small sec-S tion of the town and to get the I desired information. In this j way the time and labor expend-j ed by each is comparatively trivial and the result readily ob­tained.

CHILD 36 HOURS IN COLD

Girl Two Years Old Found on Bank of Creek After Search

~; by 1,000 Mea

The Fair will be continued through Saturday, Oct. 2j^ because of weather conditions. Full program Sat."

Almost dead from exposure, the two-year-old daughter of

I Carl Gueitner, six miles east of i Pipestone, was found Monday i lying on the bank of a drainage i creek after a search of thirty-| six hours by 1,000 men. i The child wandered from home | Saturday morning. A heavy ! rain set in Saturday and that I night a cold wind blew. It is i believed the child will recover. Mayor Stevens of Pipestone led the searchers.

At a meeting of the Redwood County" Fair Board early Tues­day afternoon it was decided to continue the Fair through Sat­urday, making the event of four days duration instead of three. The Saturday's program will be a full and complete one, all at­tractions and performances giv--en just the same as Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and spec­ial races being put on for that-day. This extension of time is. made because of the unsettled weather conditions which may-make it impossible for some to attend the first days.

Preparation? are completed at the fair grounds and exhibits were nearly all in place late Tuesday afternoon. Hundreds of entries had been maae in the farm products and household departments and the stock barns » were rapidly filling up with cat­tle, horses and hogs.

Many Cattle Shown >

The cattle exhibit promises to ' be the largest and best ever * shown in the County. Already in the barns were pure-bred herds of Peter McKay, Tcm McKay, John Stevenson, the Heins Brothers of Olivia and the Gold-Wise herd. This last herd alone numbers eighteen head of Hol-stein, two of the young cows having recently been officially tested and one of them a two-year-old producing thirteen and one-half pounds of butten in a week. / Mr. Stevenson is showing his . State Fair winners, a herd of - -twelve head of Polled Angus, " Hteins Bros, are showing a half dozen Shorthorns, and Peter Mc­Kay has nine head of Short­horns; Tom Inglis will show a herd of grade cows with pure­bred sire and several other grade-* exhibits will be made.

Car of Feeders Shown Long and Hanson, a South St.

Paul Commission firm, will show a carload of young feeders who after the Fair will go to the Banker and Dennistoun farm to be fattened. This is an exhibit in which Redwood County stock, raisers are apt to be intensely interested.

Fine Horses Seen \ ; Frank Carman is showing hUs

string of fine pure-bred Per-cherons, Fred Banker is also showing pure-breds, I. N. Bopes and A. D. Stewart also have ex­hibits in the horse stable and C. C. Wymore is the owner of a fine team of mules. The horses will be judged by Prof. Phil. An­derson of the State Agricultural Farm, and Prof. Donovan, also from the State Farm, will judge the cattle. Mr. Donovan visits county fairs throughout the state each year and he says that nowhere else does he find so well-managed a fair, with such good buildings and such splendid stock exhibits as in Redwood County.

Porkers Occupy Pens Hogs are having their day at

the County Fair this year after a two years' absence. Last year none were shown because of the ravages of cholera, but this year some fine ones will be seen. The. Keil Boys have eight of as splen­did Duroc Jerseys as can be seen anywhere, John Ruder is show­ing several fine Chester Whites, and P. McKay has a pen of Du- ' roc Jerseys that are a credit to any stock grower.

School Building Full The new school building is

crowded to the rafters with ex-jcellent school exhibits and Supt. •A. G. Pratt says she could easily . . i jhave filled a much larger build- ,f , ing. The exhibits are not only ,; I interesting when viewed as,~ -i school work, but are most ar- ^ ! tistic and pleasing both in com- • 5 i position and arrangement.
