Is the Joke On
The Minister?

ATLANTA, Ga, April 14.-They are
telling pretty good joke on the pas
tor Of a fashionable north side cnurci
who ,.cently called on some of the Ia
dies OF his congregation to help rails :
sL':ds for foreign missions. They de-
cided to give a bridge party to raise
the money, each lady attending the
party being expected to contribute fifty
cents to missions. A number of ia
bles were made up and the affair was
splendid success. Afterward the
minister learned that in addition to
contributing to the missionary fund
about two thirds of the ladies present
wagered money on the game, playing
for amounts that ranged from one cent
point up.

.LORDLY HOUSE WITH
NO SERVANTS. GUESTS
WASH AND DRY DISHES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 14-Invited to a
house, not a hundred miles from Rut-
land Gate, a rich Londoner was as
tonished to find his host and fellow
guests in the act of bringing in the
dishes. Beyond the bare statement
that all the servants had departed, no
explanation was forthcoming.
But, when after the coffee, he found
himself together with The brother or a
belted earl and the widow of an ca
Lord Mayor, engaged in drying the
plates and dishes, of which the wash
ing was done by the host himself, he
began to ask questions.
"Oh, just one of the results .. me

has to economic these times"

(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 13.--
An official war Office bulletin from vi
emma received by the Austrian embas-
sy today, asserts the Russian offensive
in the Carpathians has been brought
to a standstill, and that counter at
lacks have broken the Russian lines at
several points.
The dispatch is terse and omits all
details of the fighting referred to, but
its official nature stamps the informa-
ton as accurate and worthy of Gre

MICHAEL SCONES

With the death of Michael Scenes,
the patriarch of Redwood County,
which occurred at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. John Hojem, at Sun

and interesting life of over century.
The third of last May Mr.. Scenes
celebrated his one hundred third
birthday anniversary, at his daugh-
er's home, by meeting with his child
rem, grandchildren, great grandchild-
rem and host of friends. He enjoyed
the day as much as the youngest
guest and expressed his hope of liv-
ing for several more years.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Scenes slipped
and fell, bruising his head slightly,
although it was not thought at that
time that he had inflicted serious in
jury upon himself. Soon after receiv-
ing the injury he fell asleep and re-
manned unconscious until his death at
four o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
Funeral services were held last
Saturday afternoon and interment
made in the Lutheran cemetery al

City Council Has
A Busy Session
Representatives of Fire Department
and Commercial Club Meet With
Council and Discuss City Matters

The City Council met in regular
session in the Municipal rooms Mon
day night, and discussed several i'm
portant matters incident to city man
agement.
The executive committee of the Fire
Department appeared before the
Council and explained the need of the
department of more hose and chemi-
cal supplies. The Council readily
conceded the necessity of these addi-
tions to the departments equipment
and Aldermen Whittet and Johnson
were appointed to meet with the exc
cutive committee of the department
and arrange for the needed purchases.
Members of the Commercial Club
were also present and the matter of
a municipal building and club rooms
was thoroughly discussed. The sug-
gestion has been made that the city
erect a fire hall on the site of the
present hall, the building to be two
stories high with rooms for the NUM-
cipal meetings in the second story.
This building would be erected at a
cost of about $500 and while it would
not help the Commercial Cub prob
lem at all, it would solve the ques-
ton of a proper room for the use of
city officers and provide for the
proper storage Of the fire equipment.
The Council also voted to make the
Redwood Sun the official city paper
for the year 1915. The bonds of the
city officers were approved and sew
eral other matters which came up
for discussion laid aside to await the
further action of the officers.

Government Opens
Employment Office
Newly Established Department Of
fers Help and Employment
Free of Charge

The United States Department of
Labor has recently established a new
department known as the Department
of Employment and Distribution of
Labor. This department should prove
Of great benefit to those seeking help
and also those seeking employment
as laborers on farms, if the opportunity
afforded is taken advantage of.
Blanks have been supplied the local
postoffice for this purpose and any
one desiring employment or help may
secure blank applications for the
same. Distribution officers have been
stationed at various large cities to
take charge of certain territories. The
distribution office for Minnesota,
North and South Dakota is located in
the Federal building at Minneapolis.
Applications sent for this purpose
should bring quick returns owing to
the convenient location of the dis
tributfpn offices.
When in need of help or looking
for employment as a laborer, call
at the local postoffice and try the new
system; it will not cost red copper
and may bring big results.

NJ. Flowers Gives
Splendid Reading
Third Number of Library Lecture
Course To Be at The Armory
Wednesday Evening

Montaville Flowers, lecturer and in
terpretive reader, will be the attrac-
ton at The Armory Wednesday night,
where he will be presented as the third
number of the Library Lecture Course.
Just what the subject of his read
ing will be is not yet fully known.
There is strong feeling in favor
of Ben Hur, and many have expressed
the hope that Mr.. Flowers will con-
sent to read this great drama, in
which he is at his best. The familiar
story of Ben Hur never looses its
charm for listeners of all ages and
when given in Mr.. Flowers inimitable
style it proves doubly strong. Mr..
Flowers was a student of history, lit
erature and drama long before he
undertook public readings and his in
terpretations have the solid founda-
ton which is given only by thor
ough knowledge of the subject.
Mr.. Flowers is also very entertain
ing and interesting in his Shaksperean
transformations, and has a large re-
pctoire from which to select ma
terial for his program. There is not
the least doubt that an evening spent
with Mr.. Flowers will be enjoyed,
and the management is hoping for
well-filled auditorium. The lecture
course committee endeavors to OH
/ tain the best entertainers for the
! course and are entitled to the sup
port and sanction which is only shown
by steady attendance at the various
numbers of the course.
Season tickets for the four mum
bers are on sale at $1.25 for adults
and 6Oc for students. Single admis
sion adult, 35c; students 25c.

Large Party Sees
Park in Snow Dress
Jos. Tyson Takes Company of Guests
Through Park; Visit Paid to
Deer and Elk

Jos. Tyson was host at a very
pleasant sleighride party last Sunday
afternoon. About two o'clock two
drays, full to overlooking with Mr..
Tyson's guests, were driven through
Ramsey Park making a stop of some
little time in the deer park. Mr.. Ty-
son and Mr.. Johnson succeeded in
driving the deer and elk from cover,
SO that the party obtained a fine view
of the beautiful animals.
The elk in the park are perfect
specimens, the buck especially being
unusually large and the possessor of
a magnificent pair of antlers. Any
one who has not seen this stately
animal should endeavor to do so be-
fore the antlers drop, which will be
within the next few weeks, either in
February or early in March. Aside
from the enjoyment of sleigh ride
through the beautiful park drives, the
picture of the deer and elk going up
the steep snow covered hill OF their
park, was sight worth going much
farther to see. All the animals are
fat and sleek, testifying to the ex-
cellent care given them by Mr.. Ty-
son and Mr.. Johnson.
Ramsey Park was never more beau
tiful when clothed in the green of
summer or the browns and yellows of
autumn, than it is in the whiteness
of the present, the snow and hanging
frost making a veritable fairyland.
The roads make tramping not only
possible, but enjoyable, and the best
OF exercise. Don't fail to get ac-
quainted with Ramsey Park in all
her moods; her present one is very
paaceful and beautiful.
