MERCHANTS AT WABASSO.
Travel Thru Mud and Water to Listen
to Hon. A. J. VOIstead.

A number of the members of the
retail merchants association of Red
wood county gathered at Wabasso
on Thursday afternoon of last week,
despite the heavy roads, and listened
to the rendition of program pre-
pared by President Luscher and
Secretary Francois.
Chas. Luscher called the meeting
to order and introduced ]. J. Ryan,
secretary of the state association,
who presided during the remainder
Of the meeting. Mr.. Ryan spoke of
the necessity of heavy advertising
on part of the retail merchant. He
contended that practically every
family took some local paper, and
by telling family purchasers what
you have and the price can the
merchant alone expect to get into
the field and crowd out foreign
advertisers.
H. A. Baldwin spoke on the bank
er and business man, and made some
clever remarks along the line of
establishing a perfect credit with
the banker, and then never abusing
it. The banker depended upon the
merchant as we'll as the farmer, and
was looking for business. from both,
and was always glad to do business
with both.
R. E. Burbridge, representing
Geo. R. Newell & Co., gave an en-
PERTAINING talk along the lines Of
organization and the good feeling
between merchants caused by the
same, after which Hon. A. ]. Vol
stead, in a mastery and entertaing
talk, told of some of the political
machinery work in Washington. Mr..
Volstead was a champion of the
pure food bill, but gave great credit
to F. C. Stevens of St. Paul, in hav-
ing that measure passed. He de-
clared that parcel post was out of
the question in this country, where
railroads were not owned by the gov
eminent, and where the expense of
carrying the parcels would be much
greater than actual express charges.
In the old country, where the gov
eminent owns the railroads, it was
a success, but he would not have
the American government own the
railroads of the United States for
the reason that it would be the

were continually cheered, a large
number of people from Redwood
Falls and the south side of Renville
county, having secured positions of
advantage all along the line to see
the parade and cheer those whom
they knew the best. Every member
of the Post, who started the march,
continued until the finish, altho a
few of them reported that they
were exceedingly fatigued and warm
at the finish. With the line short
ened few blocks the old veterans
can do the same stunt next year,
and it is to be hoped that they will
all be on earth to have the oppor
tunity to show what they can do.

MARSH POST MEMBERS.
Over 40 of Them in Line at the Ma
tiOnaI 6. A. R. Parade.

Owing to our crowded columns of
last week a report of John S. Marsh
Posts appearance in the national G..
A. R. parade at Minneapolis the
night before, was omitted.
The Post had over 40 members in
line in the parade, H. N. Bell acting
as commander, and aside from the
local members there were some non
resident members, such as Capt. w.
P. Huntington, now residing in
Brainerd, Chas. H. Hopkins of Fair
fax and others.
The old veterans had a prominent
place in the 18th division of the Min
nesota veterans, which brought up
the rear guard, and which num-
bered about 1000 strong, and the
Redwood aggregation made about
as good an appearance as any of the
out-of-the-city organizations. From
the time that they swung into Nicol-
let avenue at Tenth street, until the
disbanding around on Hennepin
avenue the. John S. Marsh members

building up of most expensive
piece Of political machinery, the
operation of which would cost much
more than the present operation,
and he pointed to the government
printing office as a proof Of his
statement. The government print
ing could be done outside much
cheaper than it is now being done,
for the reason that big wages are
paid, employees are not active in
their work, and easy time is always
given. Where there is monarchail
form of government this can be
done away, but not where the peo-
pie govern and there are many
favorites among the government
employees, who are under a pension
and civil service law.
Mr.. Volstead was given a special
vote of thanks for his remarks. E.
K. Slater was called to St. Paul on
account of illness in his family, and
did not speak, and the same was
true of w. A. Hauck Of Seaforth.
E. A. Hines of Olivia was unable to
reach Wabasso, on account of bad
roads, and Hon. Frank Clague spoke
on good roads, and at the conclusion
of his address he asked for a vote
on the question as to whether it
would not be better to have a road
tax of one-half or one-third less
than what it is now, make it payable
in cash, and then have it expended
under a county or township road
overseer. The vote was unanimous.
Mr.. Clague spoke earnestly along
that line and insisted that the time
had arrived when we should unite in
the work of having perfect roads.
Mr.. Clague was listened to with
keen interest.
B. A. Small was unable to be
present, and ]. A. Schmahl spoke
briefly on the value and merit of
advertising.
At the outset Jas. A. Larson, on
behalf of the people of Wabasso,
welcomed the merchants to that
place.

I'm A WOMAN's POWER"

The poet says: "a rose under
any other name would smell as
sweet and possibly that powerful
melodramatic play, "In a Woman's
Power" under any other title would
please as we'll and pack the theatre
nightly. But there is a doubt. And
in that doubt lies the safety of the
rose, for it will continue to rank
first among the many flowers of the
world. This is equally true of "In
Woman's Power" The public saw
it for the first time last season and
it made a lasting impression. 1t
was as welcome and refreshing as
the summer rose-pure in thot,
wholesome in dialogue, and pre-
sented by a selected company of
well-known artists. No wonder I'm
a Woman's Power" has become a
household word, for it is one of the
few melodramatic productions that
leave behind refreshing atmos-
phere. The amusement loving pub
lie will have a chance to pass on the
merits of "In Woman's Power" at
the opera house Saturday, Sept. Is.
Manager Thompson is so thoroughly
convinced of the greatness of this
play that he personally endorses it.
