with an appeal to the newspa-
per writer's to live up to the full
Of their opportunities and duties.
Frank Day, who had said he
could not be present, arrived just
before seven o'clock and had time
for only the briefest trip through
Ramsey Park. However, in his
remarks at the banquet, Mr..
Day spoke in highest admiration
of the park beauties, and prof
fered his assistance in obtaining
more land for park purposes.
Mr.. Day, in speaking Of citizens
who had helped to make Red
wood Falls one of the states well
known cities, spoke most feel
ingly of the public-spiritedness
Of Hon. O. B. Turren as shown
in his work in the day of early
state history, Of his ability and
the strength Of personality
shown in his work as a states
man. These remarks were most
heartily received by the many
friends of Mr.. Turrell present.
Mr.. Day also spoke most COM
mendingly Of the work Of Frank
Clague, julius Schmahl and J.
R. Keefe, he being intimately
acquainted with the work of
each of these men who have
done so much for the city and
this section of the state.
Joe Reynolds of the Mankato
Free Press delighted his audi
ence in a straight-from the
shoulder talk characteristic of
him. Mr.. Reynolds has a keen
sense of fun combined with
straightforward common sense
which made his talk one of the
most enjoyable of the evening.
His topic was what is an edi-
tor" and he really made quite
8 dent in this apparently un-
dentable question. Mr.. Reynolds
strong plea was for forgetfull-
ness Of self and self-profit on
the part Of the editor and for
honest expression of right re-
gardless Of public opinion-prin-
ciples Mr.. Reynolds carries out
in every edition of the Free
Press.
Young Ladies HELP
Redwood Falls has great rea-
son for being proud Of her local
talent as shown by the young
ladies who so kindly assisted in
making the program the big sue
cess it was. Readings were CIV
en- by Miss Ella Reynolds, grad
uate of the Columbia School at
Chicago, and by Miss Lora Fran
co.'s of the Leland Powers School
at Boston. Both readers were
clever and able in their imper-
sonations and their readings
were greatly appreciated.
Miss Edla Starr charmed the
audience with a beautiful con-
tralto solo. Miss STAIRS voice
is of unusual beauty and her
singing always brings the keen
est pleasure to her listeners.
Miss Mabel Wood Of Heron Lake
also sang. Miss Wood has stud
led continuously since leaving
Redwood Falls and her voice, al
ways of superior quality, shows
new beauties in tinbre and tech
nique. Miss Wood sang group
| of two songs. admirably suited
to her clear soprano tones. Ell
len Horn, of whose beautiful
whistling every resident of the
city is proud, whistled selec-
ton and was forced to respond
to an encore. Miss Horr's num-
Der called forth favorable COM
ment from the visitors who were
impressed by the unusualness
of her work as we'll as by it's
excellence.
