Tennis Players
Busy With Games
of Second Round
w. H. Gold and Douglas Warner
Putting Up Most Interesting
Fight of Tournament
FIRST ROUND PLAYED
DR.. Inglis Beats Judge Laud0n
by Winding Process; Finals
Last of Week

That future national tennis
champion is in embryo, was the
verdict of w. H. Gold, veteran
tennis player, who yesterday
barely escaped defeat at the
hands of a sixteen year old lad.
In the longest set of the year,
the first in the second round
match between the veteran and
Douglas Warner, for the privi-
lege of meeting DR.. Inglis in the
third round of the tournament
now being conducted by the To-
cal tennis club, the youth fairly
played his senior off his feet,
and upon two occasions was
within a point Of winning the
set, only to be finally defeated
by the remarkable score of IA
IL. Continuing his splendid
work, the lad took the first game
in the second set when rain in
terferred and the match was
postponed.
Nor was that match the only
surprise of the tournament for
on Saturday morning DR.. Inglis
disposed of the favorite Judge
Laudon after some wonderful
playing by each man. Laudon
took the first set after a hard
struggle, by the score Of 6 to 2,
nearly every game going to
deuce, and kept up the pace by
taking the first three games in
the second set. Laudon showed
signs of distress about this time,
the result of lack of condition
and the fast pace being set by
Inglis; and began to resort to
a smashing instead of a placing
game, with the result that Inglis
took the set by a score of Ga.
After losing the first game of
the third set, Laudon was forced
to retire and forfeited his match
to the Doctor.
First Round
The entire first round of the
tournament has been completed,
the following being the results
of the respective matches:
Inglis 2, 6, 6 v. Laudon 6, 40
Neiman z, e. v. Smith 5, 6, z
w. Gold 9, 2, 6 v. D. Gold 7, 6, 8
Warner 6, v. Miller 0, 5
Baldwin 6, 6 v. Ward 0, l
Hubbard G., v. Evans A, 5
| Nelson 6, 6 v. Vihstadt 4, 0
Jones 6, 6 v. Hassenstab 3, 8
| Reynolds 6, 6 v. Mclean 3, A
Lamberton 6, 6 v. G. Gold 8, 4
Lauterbach 6, 6 V. Schurman 4, 6
Ochs Z, 6 v. Stensvad 5, 2
Streissguth II, 6 v. Clement 9, 8
Schildknecht 6, 6 v. Ebright 3, A
Knapp 6, 6 v. Larson 8, O
The Second Round
Three matches have been
played in the second round re-
sulting in a victory for Tink
Baldwin, Milo Jones and T. O.
Streissguth over Frank Hub
bard, Perry Nelson and Gus
Schildknecht respectively. Five
second round matches remain to
be played, between DR.. Inglis
and w. H. Neiman, w. H. Gold
and Douglas Warner, Art Rey-
nolds and John Lamberton, G..
A. Lauterbach and Bobby Ochs,
and Thos. Russell and Jap Knapp
respectively.
The interest being shown in
the tournament and the quality
of the play it is developing is
extremely gratifying to the pro-
moters of the tournament, who
promise to follow the singles
tournament with another for
doubles teams.

John SChWandt
Monument TO be

Secretary of State J. A. Schmahl
to Accept Site and Monument
Presented by Sen. HOlmberg
SITE IN FLORA, RENVILLE
Daughter of Schwandt Family
Will Tell Story of Her Escape
from Indians in 1862

The exercises for the dedica-
ton of the monument erected by
the State of Minnesota to COM
memorate the spot where John
Schwandt and family were killed
by the Indians in the massacre
of August 18, 1862, in Flora
township, Renville County, about
five miles directly north of Del
hi, and which marker or monu-
ment was provided for by a
special appropriation of the 1915
session of the legislature, will
occur at 8 o'clock today, WED
nesday, August 49, the fifty
third anniversary Of the day on
which the opening of the Indian
massacre occurred, and the ex-
act anniversary day of the mas
sacre of this family.
Exercises Interesting
The act of the legislature re-
quired the Secretary Of State of
Minnesota to designate citizen
of Renville County to proceed
with the work of erecting this
marker, and Immediately after
the general appropriation bill
was signed by the Governor, Sec
rotary of State Schmahl appoint
ed William :Wichmann of Nor
ton to secure the site and pro-
coed with the erection of the
marker. The latter was placed
in position about ten days ago,
and at the request of Mrs.
Schmidt, the only surviving
daughter of the Schwandt fam
lily, Mr.. Schmahl decided to hold
the dedicatorial services on the
anniversary day. Mr.. Wichmann
will preside at the exercises.
Mrs. Schmidt, who is now resid-
ing in ST. Paul, will relate how
she escaped from the Indians
on that eventful day, after
which Hon. N. J. Holmberg, Sen
ator from Renville County will
make an address turning the site
and the marker over to the
State, and Secretary of State
Schmahl will receive and accept
the same on behalf of the state.
Notwithstanding the fact
that this is the harvest period
and that nearly every person is
engaged in industrial work, it is
hoped that a number of citizens
of this section will find time to
visit this particular spot anc
take part in the exercises. Mr.
Schmahl and his son Dana were
expected to drive to Redwood
Falls Tuesday afternoon anC
probably will be accompanied by
by Major R. I. Holcombe, who
is the Historian of the Mime
sofa Valley, and who became in
terested in securing this appro
priation. Major Holcombe, il
with the party, will also deliver
a short address at the dedication

SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING CUTS
SELLING COST IN TWO.

In the current issue of Farm and Fire
side we read:
buyers of goods, whether advertised
or not, often think: Who pays these
big advertising bills? When l buy,
don't pay my share of it? Doesn't the
advertising cause prices to be higher?
Doesn't it all come out of that universal
victim-the Ultimate Consumer?
''This question is answered by an ex-
animation of the per cent of the selling
price consumed in the cost of selling on
goods which are extensively advertised
and those which are not.
Among the largest advertisers in the
country are two great clothing houses
that sell mems and boys clothing. These
people who spend fortunes in advertis-
ing get their goods from their hands to
the shelves of their customers at an eX-
pense of from five to six per cent of the
selling price.
The average cost of selling goods
which are not advertised is twelve per
cent.
Instead of being a burden on the
consumer, advertising is a boon 10 him.
Advertising takes off his back half the
burden of transportation from the manu-
facturer to himself. The advertisement
is the lowest salaried agent in the world.
1t this were not true the best business
men would not be the greatest adver-
Users. Ii there were cheaper way of
getting to the people the news about
their goods, they would find it and use
it.
''The misfortune of the farmer is that
he handles his goods in such small GUAM
titles that he cannot economically adver-
tise, and one of the benefits of a broad
cooperation ought to be the possibility of
using for the products of the farm that
cheapest and best of all travelling men
the printed page, which makes its jour
ney in mail bag"

KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE.

H. P. Evans in the Piscataqus Observer
have tried for several years to give
the Observer readers reasons for making
what we call THANKSGIVING day real
day for giving thanks. have sometimes
wondered if my efforts along this line
were worth while, but took fresh cour-
age few weeks ago when Connecticut
subscriber told me how much she enjoyed
my Thanksgiving editorials.
AS | looked about for inspiration for
the editorial this year my attention was
attracted by little handpainted card
with the words, keep on the Sunny
Side," and it came.
The card was painted by the late Her
bert N. Goodhue of Fort Fairfield, who
had been leading merchant in his town
and foremost in every good work.
When at the heighth of his business
activity and of his usefulness to the
church and community, his health failed
and he was compelled to give up work.
Many men would have been Respondent
and unhappy, but he remained cheerful
and when he sent the card | have mem
toned. he wrote that he had painted over
one hundred of them which he had sent
to friends.
The sun does not shine into every life
In its fitness, nor all the time, but there
is sunny side for all even if the rays
are few. My neighbor, who has been
confined to her bed for several weeks by
very painful illness, can find rays in
the comfortable home and the care and
attention she receives. We who will
miss our friend ard neighbor, David
Dinsmore, so much can find rays of sun
shine in the facts that his life had been
spared to US ten or twelve years longer
than we had feared at one time, and that
he was permitted to reach his sisters
home instead of being sick among
strangers.
These cases are but types of great
many | might mention to prove my as
sertion that the sun does shine into every
life. Thanksgiving day comes in a
week. In the meantime, my Borrowing
or troubled friend, look for the sunny
side and you will find it.

THE STEAMSHIP CAROLYN.
After Doing Profitable Freighting Bust
ness, is Sold for $4,000.


Steamship Carolyn. which, less than three
years ago was considered a hopeless wreck
where she lay on Metiuic Ledge, off the coast
of Maine, and where she had been for eight
months after stranoing there, has been sold by
William B. johnson of Boston to the Harry
$l97, 900.
Originally the Carolyn was the British
steamer Parkgate. She stranded several years
ago on the American coast and. after being
repaired. was placed under American registry,
and renamed Carolyn Subsequently, while
bound from Stockton Springs with cargo of
paper stock, she went aground on Metinic
Ledge. Two wrecking companies tried in
vain to float her. each giving up the job as
hopeless. After the steamer had been on the
ledge tor nearly year, Mr.. Johnson. Boston
plumber, became interested and bought the
wreck as she lay for few hundred dollars.
Then, with gang of men hired by himself, he
succeeded in getting the wreck off the rocks
and into Rockland halbor. Thence. the
Carolyn was lowed to Boston and placed in
Simpsons drydock, and again was made sea-
worthy. She required practically an entire
new bottom as well as other repairs. Mr..
johnson expended a considerable amount of
money in resurrecting the craft, which he
looked upon simply as an ''iron tank" that
needed mending.
Repairs completed, the johnson Steamship
Company was organized, and the Carolyn start
ed to bring back to Mr., johnson some of the
money that he mad spent on her. After the
war broke out, with it's consequent scarcity of
tonnage. the Carolyn made number of foreign
trips at highly profitable rates and has since
been making money for her owners.-Boston

THE SO-CALLED PER CENT REBATE
CASES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20, 1915.
The Democratic administration is ap-
preaching very awkward situation.
There are on the docket of the United
States Supreme Court the so-called five
per cent rebate cases. They involve
tremendous sum in customs revenues,
loosely estimated at between fifteen and
twenty million dollars, collected under
the provisions of the Underwood tariff
law. On the courts decision hangs the
fate of these millions.
If the Supreme Court upholds the five
per cent rebate provision in the Under
wood law, then the sum in dispute be-
longs to the foreign importers and must
be paid back by the government. The
treasury deficit long ago became alarm
ing. If this enormous additional sum
has to be paid out, it will still further
emphasize the failure of the Democratic
fiscal policy.
On the other hand if the Supreme Court
decides that the five per cent provision
of the Underwood law is invalid, the
highest court in the land will have :on-
victed the Democratic Congress of
humiliating blunder and still further en-
phasize It's record of legislative ineffi-
cheney.
The fact that the attorney general, in
order to save the revenue involved, is
attacking the validity of the law Con-
gress worked six months to pass, makes
the situation still more complicated.
From political standpoint, the best
thing that could happen to the Democra-
tic party in this case would be to have a
decision go over until after election
Whether or not this happens depends
largely upon the time the case is heard.
1t is up to the government to take the
first step to advance the date of hearing.
Litigants on the other side of the case
have complained bitterly over what they
term unreasonable delay, and for weeks
have been urging the government to
move more quickly.
Meanwhile, regardless of when the
hearing may be held, Democratic leaders
are wondering what can be done to offset
the attack that will be made on their
fiscal policy on the one hand, and tn cir
legislative efficiency or the other.

UNITED STATES TO LEAD WORLD.
Schwab Sees Big Financial and Industrial
Future

PITTsBuRG. Nov. "a. Predicting that
the United States is to be the industrial
and financial leader of the world, Charles
M. Sch vab, head of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, before an audience approx
imately 1000 business men here today,
pleaded for the construction of American
ships to carry American commerce.
II learn today that every side track
along the Pennsylvania Railroad between
here and New York is crowded with
loaded freight cars, awaiting transporta-
ton facilities across the water to foreign
markets." said Mr.. Schwab, who wss
the guest of the Chamber of Commerce.
~'The mighty tonnage is being held up
to the detriment of the country because
there are no ships to carry it. Ameri-
can exporters generally are unhappy over
their inability to find the vessels that
will place their goods where they can be
used. l am ashamed to say that have
been compelled to 60 to foreign countries
to get ships to bring iron ore to our
furnaces"
Mr.. Schwab also argued at length for
the free transportation of American COM
merce through the Panama Canal.
