Called By Death
Respected Citizen of Delhi

ing after Long Illness

Last Saturday night, Deem
Der II, Isaac Leslie passed away
at his home in the village Of
Delhi. The funeral was held in
the Presbyterian Church at one
o'clock Monday, December Ii,
Rev. Schock, the pastor Of the
church, reading the service. In
terment was made in the Red
wood Falls cemetery.
Mr.. Leslie was born in Lam
ark County, Ontario, January 13,
1881. He came to Minnesota
when the State was in it's in
fancy, spending a portion of the
time around the present site of
Minneapolis. In 1866 he came
to Wabasha County, where he
was united in marriage to Mar
garet McLennan. In the spring
Of 1870 they removed to a farm
one mile east of the present vii
lage of Delhi, where they resided
for many years, till the ap-
proach of old age made it desir-
able to abandon the duties on the
farm. They then moved to the
village of Delhi where Mr.. Les
lie passed away and where the
family will. continue to reside.
Mr.. Leslie united with the
United Presbyterian Church in
Wabasha County, and after
wards became a charter member
of the Delhi Presbyterian
Church. He was one of the old
style Christians, who believed in
and always maintained the fam
lily altar. He had kind and low

munity, the last half of which
was written among us; "He be.
ing dead yet speaketh."

Dairymen Meet at
Bird Island Thurs.

The dairymen and creamery
men of Redwood, Renville and
the adjoining counties are in
vited to attend a meeting de-
voted to dairying interests at
Bird Island Thursday, December
16. This meeting will be held
in connection with the opening
of the new creamery at Bird Is
land and is called for the pur-
pose of getting dairymen to
unite to further their own in
terests.
There is a great need for an
organization of creamery pat
rons, creamerymen, and breed
ers. Few farmers are keeping
any record of the daily produc-
tion of their COWS. The keep
ing of bred sires is to be
encouraged. Here is large ter
ritory without single cow test
sing association. To bring about
a general understanding OF
these conditions, and to work
out means of making them bet
ter, there should be an organi-
cation. In this organization,
those interested in dairying
from every standpoint should
cooperate.
j, The meeting is called by A.
D. Stewart, John Torbert, L. J:
Grellong and Ralph LOOMS, all
men who are interested in the
lettering of dairying conditions
The matter of getting the gov.
eminent to locate a dairy ex.
pert in this locality will be tax
en- up at this meeting.

H. {. Bulls Sells
TaIking-MOyie
Redwood Electrician Disposes of
Patent Right for $4,000 And
Generous Royalties
GOES TO CHICAGO SOON
Will Be in Charge of Laboratory
at Chicago Where Machines
Will Be Made in Numbers

Several issues ago the Gazette
announced that H. G. Bulls had
gone to Washington in response
to an offer from a prospective
purchaser for his invention of
a talking-movie that actually
moved and talked at the same
time.
Last week the final arrange
ments were made and Mr.. Bull
lis disposed of his very remark
able invention receiving $4,000
for his patent, with a royalty
of one-fourth cent on each foot
of film manufactured and ten
per cent on all machines sold. In
addition to the actual money re-
ceived, Mr.. Bulls will be given
laboratory at Chicago where
he will superintend the making
of the machines. This will ne
cessitate the removal of his fam
lily from Redwood Falls to Chi
'cago.
Mr.. Bulls invention is the
combination of moving picture
films and talking apparatus
whereby only one apparatus is
necessary instead of two, and
the talking must accord with the
picture as the spoken words are
run on film instead of on rec
ord as has been done heretofore,
thus making the talking-movie
practicable for the first time
since it's invention. This has
been a feature of the invention
which has puzzled all expert
minds that have worked on ii
and Mr.. Bulls has the first and
only solution of the perplexing
problem.

SUMMER SHOWS HERE
Well Known Stars to Appear at Grand
During Hot Season.

A series of stock companies with
the most widely known stars in the
theatrical profession is planned for
the Grand Opera house this summer.
The plan was announced today by
Roy Crawford.
At the Kings theater. st. Louis. o.
T. Crawford is playing stars in lead
ing parts of his stock company. That
is, Florence Roberts is playing in Zaza
and when her engagement is up Will
ton Lackaye will play THE PITT with
the same stock company, and so on
down the line.
Mr.. Crawford is figuring on putting
four stock companies in houses at
Omaha, st. Joseph, Topeka, Wichita.
Then Florence Roberts, Robert Eide
son, Lackaye and others will appear
in each house for three successive
days in their best productions. Some
of the stars will probably make the
circuit two or three times. The shows
would be put on at IS cent prices with
the same people who usually play to
81 houses.
Mr.. Crawford said today that he
would like suggestions from Topeka
theater goers on the proposition. No
definite plans have been made, but it
is likely that such an arrangement
will be made
