Big Entertainment
Here Friday,Feb. 5
Endeavor Society of Christian Church
Presents John ]. Olmstead, I'm
personatOr and Entertainer

The Christian Endeavorers of the
local Christian Church have been do
ing things in a large way for some
time. By one means and another they
have added more than 100000 to the
church treasury in the past year, and
at the same time they gave the pub
lie much more than value received for
their money Such unassuming serv-
ice is certainly worth of public rec
ignition.
Their latest venture is series of
high-class entertainments and lectures
which they plan to present from time
to time, with the object in view of
helping to set standard of excellence
in the public entertainments of our
town. They plan to work with, rather
than in opposition to, the present lee
ture course committee, and began this
work only after consultation with the
leaders of that work. The prices of
these lectures will not be prohibitive
to anyone and will be arranged to
pay expenses and have little for
wear and tear.
On Friday night, February 5, John
]. Olmstead, Impersonator and En-
tertainer, will be presented at the
church, in representations monologues
and songs He is wondrously funny
and you will go home ten per cent
younger than when you came. He
is also very pathetic in some phases
of his work and will show you the
serious side of life also. You cannot
afford to miss this number. The adj
mission is only 25c for adults, and
15c for children. The doors will be
open at 7:30. Entertainment will be-
gin at 500 o'clock sharp.

ChaS lentz Dies
at Mont. Hospital
Former Redwood Resident Passes
Away After Short Illness; Funeral
Services Held Monday

Charles w. H. Lentz, for many
years business man of Redwood
Falls, died at the hospital at Miles

liam Jobusch reading the service. In
terment was made in the Redwood
Falls cemetery beside the body of
Mrs. Lentz, who passed away last
fall.
Mr.. Lentz, who was fifty years Of
age, was i'll only about two weeks
prior to his death, the illness which
originated in a severe attack of la
grippe, terminating in an acute form
of rheumatism which reached the
heart.
Mr.. Lentz is survived by his three
children, Grace, Karl and Tony, all
of whom have grown up in Redwood
Falls, and several brothers and a sis
ter.
Until last summer Mr.. Lentz had
been connected for many years with
the firm of Francois and Schmahl,
where he had been an efficient and
painstaking salesman. Last autumn
he went to Baker, Mont, where he
engaged with his brother in the mer-
camille business. His son, Tony, was
engaged in the same business. The
other son, Karl, is in the employ
of H. G. Schmahl here, and Miss
Grace has made her home for the
past few months with her aunt, Mrs
Geo. Haber, in ST. Paul. The entire
community feels the greatest SYM
pathy for these young people who
hove SO recently been bereft of both
parents.

If you want to start trouble, cut an
item out of the newspaper and leave
the paper where your wife will find it.
We know a man whose wife once went
away on visit and stayed longer than
the husband thought she ought, but he
didn't like to tell her that he wished
she would come home. He had been
sending her all of the issues of the
home papers during her absence. One
day he carefully cut little item out
of one of the papers he mailed her.
From the next paper he did the same
and the following day she came
home. She had hardly gotten her wraps
OFF before she slipped to a neighbor' s
to borrow copies of those two papers,
only to find that the brute of hus-
band had clipped out only patent
medicine sd each time.

The bill regulating the traffic in
cigarettes which has passed both
branches of the Legislature prohibits
their sale to minors and specifies that
the sale Of markings" is just as much
violation Of the law as the sale of the

cigarettes to adults is placed under a
license. The new law will net try to
do as much as the old one, but is likely
to accomplish more.

Rah! Kahi Putnam.
 Tiger for Teddy.
 Three great games.
 Our series.
 Hope t6 meet Southbridge again this season.
 Who will be the neXts
 Were you on the base ball special2 Teddy took tickets to town.
 Some little old cro Hd.
 N ho didn't get his moneys worth ? And the Ladies.
 Where did you get that hat. Larry? They solved the mystery of Nernon's outs.
 Santoni looked good and contributed three hits. L'HereuX came back with the stick. Larry is playing at Asbury Park, N. J , this week and expects to take oil weight.
 Too bad Leddy wasn't there.
 Charlie wasn't lonely during the evening.
 When that fly went out to left Gal Iagher didn't "1et her go.
 The scorer needed a monoplane when the crowd got on the field in the Huh.
 Bushnell served them up too nice in the first few innings.
 It is some stunt for catcher to get a man mapping al second as Gils0n did
 \ little damp in the out field and no one had tubaer boots.
 \ hUe VIII like to read about the game He Is back in Peunsyirania. The w8y Conway oIders aa the pat ters helps 10 keep the game lively.
 Some are wishing the series had been five games instead et three.
 Teddy saaid, don want any come backs. U-e your own judgment, He backed his.
 Even s1uthbridge's finest got excited.
 Judges, doctors, lawyers, aldermen, street superintendenIs, all were there. To be honest Bushnell didn't look like big league material,
 Putnam inheld is throwing nice. The only possible weak spot is at the initial corner
 We hope 10 see Sautoni remain at third AS he has good batting eye.
 The fans are hungry for more. Saturday Is now day to look toward to.
 The management can bank on fur. ther support.
 West looked good on first and his south wing was working fine but he needs batting practice.
 Little Gagnon at second covers lot of territory. Hope his batting will i'm prove.
 It always looks good 10 see Fallon up with men on bass.
 And the manager said: And they say advertising doesn't pay. What do yon think : The series was great bat it's gone. Time 10 starr enthusiasm for the next game.
 No doubt about crowds now.
