The Class Play Is
Very Successful
Senior Class Pleases Large Audiences
AT Redwood Falls And Belview
with Fifteenth of January

The Fifteenth of January which
was presented by the Glass of 1914
at The Armory last Friday evening,
was one of the most successful plays
that has ever been put on by local
talent in Redwood Falls.
The cast, consisting of over twen-
ty characters, was made up of MEM
bers of the senior class, and each
student showed himself a real ac-
tor. Many of the parts would have
been difficult for even more exper-
fenced amateurs, and the fact that
they were so well taken showed hard
work on the part of the students and
much skill on the part of Miss An
derson who helped the cast at re-
hearsals.
During the evening the girls Glee
Club sang Lightly My Bark" the
girls chorus sang Oregon Lied" ane
the Boys Glee Club sang my Rose
Music was furnished by the High
School Orchestra.
Saturday evening the play was
presented at Belview where it was
seen by large audience. Finan.
cially both presentations we've very

T. M. Wilson For
County Auditor
Lamberton Man Files Today After
Much Urging By Friends And
Acquaintance

). E. NJ. Wilson of Lamberton filed
as candidate for County Auditor
while in Redwood Falls today. This
action was taken at the instigation
of Mr. Wilson'S many friends through
out the county, and especially those
friends on the west side of the coun-
tyewho have life long acquaintance
with the new candidate.
Mr.. Wilson is the very successful
editor of the Lamberton Star, one of
the best country papers in this sec
ton, and has wide circle of friends
through his paper as well as those
personally acquainted with him.
Strong pressure has been brought
to bear upon him during the last
few weeks, and he has been proffered
strong support throughout the Coun-
ty. Indications are that he will make
strong race. He is the first to file
for the Office, but it is expected he
will meet with opposition in the neal
future as the present auditor, L. p
Larson, will undoubtedly ask for re-
election.

and mark off squares two and one
half inches by two and one-half,
which will make ten squares each
way and leave a good margin around
the edge Of the box. Mark the
squares beginning in the upper left
hand corner with No. 1, the upper
right hand corner No. 10 and so on.
Arrange the ears by laying them
out side by side on the table, planks
or anything that is handy may be
used. 1t is not necessary to number
each year, a nail driven at the right
of every tenth ear will serve to keep
them in place and also keep the order.
Begin with the nearest ear calling it
No. l. and take six kernels from the
ear, two from opposite sides OF the
butt, two from opposite sides OF the
tip, turning the ear enough so as to
take two kernels out of the same
row. Do the same thing with ear
No. 2 and so on. Place the kernels
from ear No. l on square No.. l with
the germ side up and the tips of the
kernels all pointing one way. This
prevents the roots from growing to-
gether and makes the reading easier.
AS soon as the kernels are all care
fully arranged the termination test
is ready for the cover cloth. Dip the
cloth in warm water and spread it
out carefully over the kernels. The
top cloth should be several inches
larger than the box each way and is
put on over the cover cloth. Fill in
with more damp sawdust and pack it
down carefully around the edges. The
box should now be put away in an
ordinary living room, cellar with
a furnace, or some other place where
the temperature does not get down
too low.
Takes Only Short Time
After about eight or nine days
the test is ready to read, begin by
rolling off the top cover which holds
the sawdust and lay it to one side
then take the cloth which covers the
kernels and remove it gently. Be
gin with ear No. l, notice the length
and strength of both root and stem
sprout, if all the kernels grow strong
No. ! is q desirable ear, pass on t.
No 2 if two are weak, one dead ant
the rest strong discard the ear ant
SO ON until all of the ears have beer
examined.
