Their Fifth Annual Tour.

King Perkins Company in "Old
Farmer Hopkins" is announced for
an appearance in the opera house on
Wednesday evening, November 18th,
1908. We all know Frank G. King
and "Chlc" Perkins; they ara yearly
visitors. They give us good, clean,
comedy drama, performed by uncom-
monty capable people and in the best
possible manner. On this, their fifth
annual tour, the play presented while
already having won fame as being
among the best rural dramas written,
has been reconstructed for Mr.. Kings
particularly enjoyable methods aad
as a farmer who is not a "Rube" the
favorite actor has never been more
delightful.
In dual role assuming four charac-
ters in fact, "Chic" Perkins again
shows the excellence of her art and
the charm Of her individuality. The
supporting company needs no greater
recommendation then its name of be-
ing the best the stars have formed.
The scenic display Of the production
is elaborate. The singing and dane.
ing specalties are show themselves,
sOld Farmer Hopkins" may be wait
ed for with every anticipation of great
enjoyment,

Cresco %, Austin s.

Outweighed at least 20 pounds to
the man, playing on strange grounds
and the last part of the game in the
dark, the plucky little Cresco team
surprised not only Austin but them
selves by scoring four touchdowns on
the heavy Austin team. 1t was a
fair contest between beef and speed
and good training and the result
should prove that weight is not the
only thing need for a winning foot
ball team.
Austin not only has the heaviest
but one of the strongest teams in
Minnesota, having been compelled, in
order to get games to play such teams
as Shattuck and some of the Mlnne-
apolis high school teams; and, while
notalways winning, the have made
good showipgs, even against the
strongest college teams.
While there were a number of fine
individual plays made, our boys
devoted their energies entirely to
team work and the result is gratify-
ing to everyone interested in them
The line, from tackle to tackle, was a
"stone wall" and the back field and
ends not only showed remarkable
speed but swiftness and accuracy in
handling the ball and splendid inter-
ference.
The boys are in good condition and
playing together as they do now there
can be no doubt as to the result Of
the game with Decorah Friday, the
only speculation being as to the size
of the score.

The Rev. W. B. forbush Ridicules the
Bible Class Conducted by Rocke.
feIIer Jr.


"Souls are listed and tabulate like
barrels Of oil or blocks Of preferred
stock in tine Rockefeller Sunday
school, /" declared the Rev. VIM. b.
Forbush, president of the Central Al
lance of Workers With Boys, address
sing the congress of boys" at Associ-
alton Hall. The keynote of his ad-
dress was the statement that's,
eve must stop loving boys .statls-
tically."
In speaking of the Bible class con-
due ted by John d. Rockefeller Mr..
Forbush said:
"Over it hangs an atmosphere of
big figures, which is, we must admit,
not unnatural. The scholars are en-
couraged to bring in new ones, and a
ledger is kept In which each ones
good deeds are recorded in business
like fashion. The entries read, John
Jones, CT. scholars, William Smith,
or. by II scholars. And thus are souls
tabulated and listed like barrels of
oil or blocks of preferred stock.''
The Rev. Mr.. Forbush also poked
fun at some less famous Sunday
schools, saying: "The effort to teach
the Bible to boys, carried on in clas-
ses conducted by young lady armed
with winning smile and an almanac
of religious information called quar-
terly is enough to make the angels
weep with laughter"

The Strike Season.

Strikes are just now in order, for more
wages, for shorter hours, for recognition
of the union. for this that and the other
cause. Thousands of men walked out sof
shops and away from railroad lines and
great improvements last Friday and Sat
urday and others followed them on Monday.
Other strikes are threatened. serious
menace of checked prosperity is in the air
general survey of the causes of the
strikes, as far as they have been printed,
does not indicate that the workingnen are
quitting work because of any serious diff
Guilty over the actual conditions which sur
round their labor. Many of the walk
bear unmistakable signs of being artificial.
Several of them are due to the fractional
differences between rival trades organiza-
tons, each claiming to be the simon-pure
article of trades unionism. Such conditions
initiate as heavily against the workers
as against the employers. The only ones
who profit by continued troubles are the
organizers of the unions whose former title
of walking delegates is now discarded as
a term Of reproach. If the workers were
themselves given the full responsibility for
precipitating strikes there would probably
be fewer such breaches of the industrial
peace. They would be too busy to allow
trifies to grow in their minds into great
issues. .

was a residence costing 1900.
Mr.. Folk thanked the citizens commit
tee for the mark of appreciation of his
work. but stated that he had done no more
than his duty. no more than his oath of
Office required of him, and he could not &C
cept any remuneration other than the sal
airy allowed him as circuit attorney He
requested the committee which notified him
of the testimonial to abandon all further
efforts in that direction"
Score again for Mr.. Folk. His action will
strengthen his hold upon the respect of
every worthy man who hears of it and
wishes him success in the work he has in
hand. His full reward could not be ex-
pressed in dollars and cents. 1t should take
