fyaagelists Now J.
Hard at Work at
Christian Church
DR.. J. L. Thompson And Company of
Four Making Great Sensation at
the Christian Church This Week

The Evangelistic meetings began
in power Sunday. The evangelist
preached wonderful soul-stirring SER
mons both morning and evening. DR..
Thompson was the successor of Har-
old Bell. Wright in his Kansas City
pulpit; and those who were students
of that great author realized Sunday
how that came about DIR. Thompson
has the same deep philosophy, the
same clear insight into human feel
ing and the same precision and kind
illness of judgment as the great author
whom so MANY people have learned
to love.
In his Interpretation of the Living
Water Sunday evening DR.. Thompson
took his hearers to the mountain-tops,
pictured how the mind of man planned
to draw the waters from the noun
tains to bring to life the arid deserts;
then, in a burst of Spiritual vision, he
drew clear presentation of how
Jesus Christ brought the Living Wa
ter of Gods love down among sinful
men to regen crate their hearts; and
as water naturally seeks its level, so
does Gods Living Water, in the ac-
ton of retui ming to the Source, lift
mems lives out of sin into the King
dom of Jesus Christ.
Watson is leading the chorus in a
way that is a delight to all. Mrs.
Watson is pleasing in the singing and
is very strong among children. She
has them ut the church in Bible drill
every afternoon at four o'clock. There
is special attraction, not previous
ly advertised, in Mr.. Roy Jarman, Boy
Baritone If you hear him once you
will come again. Every night except
Sunday. All seats are free.

Clalnage Players
AT The ArmoryF0r
Three Big Nights
Company of Twenty-Five People to
Present Three Musical Comedies
of Highest Class
THE PAINLESS PRICE, PLAYERS
Thursday, "His Highness The Bey;;
Wednesday, ''Girl From Luxemburg;
Saturday, "The Pink Widow

Redwood Falls has fondness for
fun, good looking women well-dressed,
and spicy music. This fondness IN
all it's branches is to be gratified for
three successive nights this week,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when
O-For-Heavans- Sake Clamage and his
Jolly troupe Of twenty-five comedians
bring the three sprighly productions
for which they are booked, to the Ar
mory.
Thursday night this company pres
ents His Highness The Bey, must
cal comedy to which the only two ad-
jectives that may rightfully be ap-
piled are side-splitting and riproaring.
Honestly, it's really awfully funny.
Friday night the presentation is The
Girl From Luxembourg" and Saturday
night the cream Of the three produc-
lions. "The Pink Widow"
The Clamage players are a bigger
and better company than often comes
to Redwood Falls, and still they play
at Painless Prices" nothing higher
than fifty cents. This is made pos
sible because the company makes moth
ing less than three night stands, and
thereby has less expense than the
smaller companies. The entire cast
numbers twenty two persons includ-
ing an excellent chorus of ten girls.

Man Found SUNDAY;
| Dead Three Weeks
Stranger at Lamberton Commits Sui
eide By Shooting; Apparently Was
Victim of HallucinatiOn
WEAPON NOT FOUND
Indications A1e That Death Occurred
About Three Weeks Ago; Fear Is
Probable Motive For Deed

The body OF a man who had evil
IDENTIFY. been dead about three weeks,
was found at Lamberton Sunday af-
ternoon. in the bushes near the river.
The only means Of Identification was
a card issued by a Chicago casualty
company, bearing the name of Leo
pold Bishop. County Attorney Ener-
son communicated with this company
and they reply that their records
showed a beneficiary by that name
living at Denver. The deceased was
laborer, who had worked for short
time on the gravel train on the Black
and Yellow Trail near Lamberton.
Nothing more than that was known
of him there.
In the pockets of his clothing was
found 1914 diary in which had been
kept very complete personal account
of work done, wages, expenses, etc
Also there were several packages 81
letters unaddrcssed which apparently
contained memoranda Of personal
nature. The gist of these letters
showed the dead man to have beer
the victim Of Authorizations the CHIEF
of these being a great fear Of "the
Fortune Teuers."
One entry in the diary dated Octo-
Der "a is as follows, "this ends me
on account Of the Fortune Tellers 9
following me. They drove me to d.

Death was caused by gun wound
and those who investigated are posi-
tive that the man committed suicide

the victim to be man of considerable
education, and the only indication o
insanity is the dread of the Forum

and he wore monogramed ring an
locket Of considerable value.

Instructive Addresses; Miss Carney
Solves Some Problems

very successful one, both in the
numbers attending and the work ac-

teacher in Redwood County being
here.
The forenoon of Friday was spent
by the teachers in visiting the vari-
GUS rooms of the grade schools. Fri
day afternoon Miss Wilson, the State
Librarian addressed the teachers on
the practical use of the library in the
school. and County Agent Neil gave
short agricultural address. Follow
ing Mr.. Neil, S. ]. Race of Minneap-
oils, gave stirring talk on Fits and
Misfits, which was intensely practical
as we'll as entertaining, and full OF
helpful suggestions to the teachers.
Friday evening was devoted to Mr..
Races address at the Methodist
Church. This was one OF the most
scholarly addresses made in Redwood
Falls for some time, and showed Mr..
Races talent as deep thinker as
twell as fluent speaker. Mr.. Race
chose as his theme the superiority OF
the present ages over the past ages,
and proved his optimistic view by IL
vibrations from ancient MEDIEVAL and
! modern history.
Saturday morning Miss .Schunach-
! err. teacher in the second grade, gave
j two very interesting and instructive
/ model lessons in language and read
ling Both lessons showed Miss Schu
lmacher's splendid ability as teacher
land were excellent models to be fol
lowed by the teachers.
| Mrs. Pratt, County Superintendent
talked to the teachers about the neees
sity of new school exhibit building
on the fair grounds and found all thu
teachers including those of the graded
and high schools anxious that sucn
building be erected anu WILING W ho.i
to defray the expense. The plan pro
posed is that each teacher shoul'
pledge her school to raise ten dol
lars to be paid within the next tw'
wears: the coming year if possible
The money is to be earned by tn
pupils and teachers. The formal ses
sions of the institute closed with al
excellent talk on the problems OF rura
school teachers by Miss Carney, Su
perintendent Of the State Norma
Training classes. Miss Carney charme'
her audience IS well as instructed
and her address was an inspiration
; to all hearing it.

BOOSTER DAY LAST SATURDAY

Last Saturday was Booster Day in
Redwood Falls and very successful in
the matter of getting the crowd. How
ever the question of providing amuse-
ment for the crowd after it got here
was apparently overlooked. While mer-
chants are well pleased with the finan-
cial results of the day, it Is doubtful
If advertising Of this nature is any
advantage to the town. Plenty q
amusement had been promised by thu
manager. backed by the business mer
and it il to be regretted that the prom

GERMAN EMBASSY BUILDING
Commission From Berlin Arrives In
Capital and Inspects Site for
Proposed Palace.

A commission cf building. architec

ed by the German imperial govern.
mens. sanctioned by Emperor William,
has arrived in this city on a mission
to examine the site purchased by the
German government at 1906 S street,
between Twenty-seccnd and Twenty.
third streets Northwest. upon which
is 10 be erected the new palace in
which will be housed the German
embassy and the household OF the
kaiser's representatives to this coun
try.
The commission consists Of Herr
Kettner. privy embassy councillor and
reference councillor In the German for.
eign office; r. Saran. superior privy
councillor OF buildings and construc
tions attached to the department g
public works, and Prof. Peter Ren
rens. professor of architecture.
The commission minutely studied
the character of the architecture of
Waslington's most attractive public
and private buildings, exterior as well
as interior, with a view to draw plans
fer the new embassy buildings which
will be In keeping with 1t and har.
rionize with its surroundings. Al
though the palace will be the most
advanced and best type OF German
architecture, it is the plan of the com.
mission to so modify its German char
ecter as to harmonic it with the
Warrington architectural style. Herr
kettner said 1t would be a building
representative of the power, prestige
and dignity of the German empire, and
that the German emperor was taking
a personal interest in the matter.
Herr Saran said he did not believe
that the new ambassadorial palace
would be modelled after the Sans
Souci. one Of the kaiser's palaces at
Potsdam. but that II present plans are
sanctioned by the government ths
proposed building would cost "a

K!1IG ROAD DRAG is FAVORED
Hundreds of Farmers Of Colorado
Have Pledged Themselves to
Make Use Of implement.

State Highway Commissioner T. J.
Ehrhart of Colorado has announced
that the state will pay half the cost
of split-log dracs to all counties which
will furnish these drags free to farm
ors and others rledging themselves to
use them on their roads. This
action followed the strong impression
made on the highway commission by
the ID. Ward King method of road
building. as demonstrated at the King
road rallies held recently at Castle
Rock. Littleton, Golden, Denver.
Brighton. Loveland. Greeley, Fort Nor
gan. Fort Collins and Cheyenne. Gov.
ernor Ammons was regular attend
ant ct the meetings and enthusias-
tically indorses the system.
Hundreds of farmers have already
pledged themselves to use the drags,
and as n result it is predicted that
ruts, bumps and mudholes In the roads
in this section OF the state will soon
be things of the past, just as this Mis-
souri, farmers method transformed tho
dirt roads of Iowa and a dozen other
states at practically no expense.
The following is Kings condensed
formula for building and maintaining
perfect road with the split-log drag:
Build a King drag according to in
etructions. After the first rain, while
the dirt is still moist but not sticky,
hitch the team to the drag so that
the drag will follow the team at an
angle of about IS degrees. Drive with
one horse on each side of the wheel
track to your neighbor's front gate
toward town and come home over the
other wheel track, smoothing the road
and moving small amount of earth
toward the middle.
After the next rain or wet spell go
again. Repeat this after each storm
until the surface touched by the drag
Is smooth and Is slightly higher in
the center than at the sides.
Pillow a shallow furrow (please no.
tice the word 'shallowD just outside
the dragged portion of the road, turn
ing the furrow into the dragged por-
tion. Spread this furrow (notice the
word 'spreadD over the road toward
the center with the drag. When you
finish the roadway will be about two
feet wider and the middle will be a
little higher.
After the next rain or storm plow
again and drag again, adding two feet
more to the width and building the
road still little higher in the center.
Only plow one furrow between rains.
When the road becomes wide enough.
quit plowing. Never drag except when
the soil is moist.
This formula is guaranteed to pro-
duce results"

structions for making and using the
King drag may be obtained by anyone
desiring to use it on his roads by ad-
dressing the agricultural department
at Washington.
