Big Mass Meeting
of Baseball Fans
Shall Redwood Falls Have a First
Class Team During the Com
ing Season?

There will be a mass meeting of
baseball enthusiasts held in Geroy's
barber shop Sunday afternoon at 2:3O.
Everybody is invited, no matter
whether you are an exponent of the
great American game or not. A
strong effort is going to be made to
put Redwood Falls back on the base
ball map by putting into the field a
team which every citizen can feel
proud ola team that will reflect
glory on itself and every person who
helps to support it.
In years gone by this city had a
baseball team that was known
throughout the state for it's victories
on the diamond. That's the kind Of
team Redwood Falls expects to have
this season; a bunch of players that
will help to advertise the town where
ever they go; and, also, be the means
of attracting hundreds Of outsiders
here whenever a game is scheduled
on the home grounds.
One of the principal things a good
team needs is the loyal support of
the town. So far large number Of
prominent persons have signified their
willingness to help the good cause
along, and the prospects now look
very bright. Baseball is played from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and why
should it not be played in this beau
tiful and prosperous city? So, let's
all pull together and help boost the
town.

Governor Hammond Signs
the County Option Measure
First Step Taken To Put County OPP
tiOn Into Effect in Minnesota; Petit
tions to Circulate Soon
CALLS LAW A FAIR ONE
Immediate Measures Will Probably
Be Taken to ''Try Out" New Law
in Several Counties

Governor William S. Hammond af-
fixed his signature to the Peterson
county option measure late Monday
and it is now a Minnesota law.
The executive attached his name
without any ceremony and handed the
pen to Charles M. Andrist, his secre-
tary, who had asked for it. The pen
was a plain one of the office stock.
Fair Bill, Says Governor
Governor Hammond made a brief
statement after giving his approval
to the act.
81 read the bill over" he said, land
it looked like very fair bill to me.
"Some question has been raised as
to how one or two provisions. of the
law may work out. In dry counties
it prohibits the sale or storage of
liquor and the question arises whether
one, by keeping liquor in his own
house for his own use, would be violat-
ing the law.
Looks for Liberal Construction
"But elsewhere it says that the law
| IS to be construed literally, SO I as
sumo it will be construed not to have
any such meaning.
"The election features of the law
seem fair and well drawn. A difficulty
might arise in some districts in find
ing representatives of both factions
to act as election judges as the law
provides, but the provision is fair
one, nevertheless"
Effective Immediately
The law went into effect Immediate
ly when the governor signed it. 1t
was deposited with the secretary of
state at once.
George B. Stafford of Minneapolis,
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league, said Monday that steps would
be taken in the near future to have
license elections in several counties.
81 have received applications by
mail from three countless" he said
"to have the law put into operation.
have received at least 20 letters
from Minneapolis urging that action
be started to make Hennepin county
dry. In my judgment we ought to
wait and not take hasty action in
Hennepin, but have the law tried out
first in smaller communities.
The county option law, now in eff
feet, is the result of campaign that
has been in progress for eight years,
with the temperance forces gaining
steadily in each campaign.
The question first attracted prom
inent attention in the legislative ses-
sion of 1907, was again brought for
ward in 1909, and strong fight was
made for it in 1911. In the last named
year, so votes were mustered for the
measure in the house against 50 nays,
and in the senate the vote was "a
to 81.
A tie vote was recorded on the bill
in the house in 1913, when there were
SO yeas and SO yeas, 81 votes being
required for passage. The question
was not raised in the senate, it being
the same body as in 1911.
The Anti-saloon league has waged
an untiring battle for the right of
each county to decide the license ques-
ton for itself, supporting candidates
favorable to the measure and Wig
orously opposing all others.

MEMORIAL oBsERvANcEs lNcAsrM


Memorial Sunday and Memorial day
dawned bright and fair in Castine,
which together with the fine and interest.
ing exercises made the days among the
most impressive ever witnessed in Gas
tine. The memorial services on Sunday
forenoon were held at the Methodist
church, the sermon being delivered by
District Supt. Pallidino in very inter-
esting manner, holding the attention of
the large audience throughout the SER
wees. He was assisted in the services
by Rev: Mr.: Policy of the Methodist
church, Rev.EH: McKoon of the Unitar-
Ian church and Rev. G.. W. Patterson of
the Congregational church.. Special
music was furnished by the Unitarian
and congregational choirs. Chas. L..
stevens Post Z. A. r., the Ladies' Re-
lief Corps and the Sons of Veterans
attended the service in a body, tt Q
front seats OF the church being reserved
Tor them. The church was very prettily
decorated with flags and apple blossoms,
the work being done by Comrade f. s..
Perkins and daughter Agnes and Mrs.
Harold Carew.
Monday the memorial service were
held at Emerson Hall at 10 a. M, the
speaker of the day being Comrade Lee
roy 7. Carleton, whose able and impress
slve address appealed to all, it being es-
peclally interesting coming from COM
rade. The regular memorial exercises
were conducted through the service,
music being furnished by male quartet.
After the services procession was
formed in front of Emerson Hall headed
by the Scout band, the G. A. R., Relief
Corps, Sons of Veterans, scouts camp
fire girls, and many citizens following.
They proceeded TO the cemetery, where
services were held and the graves of
the dead comrades decorated. They then
returned to Emerson Hall, where boun-
tlful and delicious dinner was served
them by the Ladies Relief Corps.
In the evening the Camp Fire was
held, Emerson hall being filled to it's
capacity. The first number on the pro-
gram was music bys the orchestra, a
very interesting and elaborate exercise
by the children of Miss Mary Hook s
school followed and words cannot ex-
press the delight this gave to the entire
audience, the work the children did seem
almost wonder, showing marked ability
on the part of their teacher.
Following were selections from the
Camp Fire Girls; defamation, Clarence
Williams; solo, w. A. Walker, and re-
marks from Leroy T. Carleton. The
occasion closed with very pretty tab
leau by the Camp Fire Girls and music
by the orchestra, and the singing of
America. This closed the memorial SER
vices IN Castine for 1915, and as has
already been stated they will be long re-
membered as among the most impress
sive ever held in Castine. The post has
not lost comrade during the past year,
and we all hope that next year at this
time we can report the same.

eral divisions-the Atlantic fleet, the
Pacific fleet and the Asiatic fleet. Ad-
miral Frank f. Fletcher is commander
in chief of the Atlantic fleet, and in
the Pacific Admiral Thomas B. How
