Ned Gets Mixed

There is a threadbare old
story about the Irish man who,
in the excitement of a great
fire, put his trousers on rear
side frontwards and then ex-
pressed himself as being so
fatally twisted | don't know
whether I'm Gaming or went
ing" N. F. Dripps experienced
a similar fatal twist-though
not presumably for the same
reason, while returning from
Waconia Monday morning and
it took genial Mr.. Bondy, who
visits Redwood Falls each week,
some several minutes to con-
vince Ned he needed to turn
square about and go the other
way. In company with Mrs.
Dripps, Ned was coming home
from Waconia and had gotten
as far as Gaylord, where in
some mysterious way the
twist" took place, and he head
ed his car straight back, going
sixteen miles over the route he
had just come. When he met
Mr.. Bondy, also motoring to
Redwood Falls, he was much
surprised, nonplussed, painfully
grieved and several other things
to find he had wasted sixteen
miles and return of tire trouble,
gasoline and cuss words. But
then-what's thirty-two miles
in Ford, with a perfectly good
wife by ones side coming
from Waconia.

Girls Speak For
Silver Medal
Grace Melges Wins Prize in w.
C. T. u. Contest Last Fri
day Evening

The Silver Medal Contest held
in the Presbyterian Church last
Friday evening was a great sue
cess. Rev. Holt, who led the
devotionals also conducted a
short memorial service in honor
of our fallen comrade Miss Pen
tony. This was greatly appre-
ciated by the members present.
The male quintette consisting
of Messrs. Fobes, Hallum, Hus-
tad, Gibson and Smith rendered
two very beautiful and appro-
pirate selections, the first of
which was followed by a pleas
ing duet by Misses Mabel Whyte
and Marguerite Chapman.
Six little girls from the Fourth
and Fifth grades then contested
for the silver medal. They were
Ruth Frazier, Evelyn Wilcox,
Imogene Forward, Norine Nell
raevie, Grace Melges and Edna
Scott. The selections were all
we'll given and very interesting
and the contest would have been
exceedingly close had it not
been for a slight hesitancy on
the part of two or three of the
contestants.
Supt. Adella G.. Pratt, Supt.
Brainard and Prof. Ryan acted
as judges, awarding the medal
to Grace Melges. Prof. Ryan
made the presentation speech
and spoke most highly of the
work of the w. G.. T. U. and the
medal contest work as an edu-
cational factor. Each of the
five winners was presented
with a years subscription to
"The Young Crusader"
During the absence of the
judges the audience was enter
tanned with recitations by Ber-
nice Larson and Ruth Bopes,
both winners of silver medals.
The contest was ably conducted
by Mrs. Jennie johnson who
acted for Mrs. 0. B. Sparks, To-
cal Supt. of medal contest work,
the latter having been called
away on account of Sickness

Fire Truck IS
Assured Fact
City Council And Fire Depart
ment Determined to Give
City Good Protection
WILL BUY SOON
Fire Department Will Buy Truck
And Council Will Make An
nual Appropriation

The Redwood Falls Fire De-
partment and the City Council
are united in an earnest effort
to give the city the best pos
sible fire protection, and are
working at present to achieve
that end. At the Thursday night
meeting of the Council, an ap-
preparation of $500 towards the
purchase of a fire truck was
made and a recommendation
made that this appropriation be
made an annual one.
The fire department is fully
reused to the necessity Of pro-
curing a motor truck for use in
the very near future and will
purchase the truck on it's own
responsibility with the help of
citizens who will act as fnan-
cial security for the purchase.
The whole amount of the pur-
chase price Of such a truck will
be borrowed and the funds
necessary to pay the indebted
ness will be raised by the De-
partment, assisted by appropria-
tions from the city funds for
this purpose.
Both the Council and the De-
par:noont orc To bo commanded
for their action in this matter
of supplying one of the city's
very urgent needs. The expen-
diture of money is fully justi-
fed and the leaders in the move
ment should be given the hearty
support of every citizen who is
anxious to see a "fireproof" Red
wood Falls.

Sunday Accident
Results Fatally
julius Albrecht of Morgan Dies
from In uries Received When
Two Cars Clash
OTHERS NOT HURT
Smith Car, Driven by G. A. Jaeh-
ming COllides with Albrecht
Car at Sharp Turn

Julius Albrecht Of Morgan,
died Monday evening as a re-
suit Of injuries received Sunday
when his car collided with the
VIM. M. Smith car on the
road north of Morgan. Several
other occupants of the two cars
received minor injuries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith accompa-
MED by Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Jaeh-
ming, Miss Betty Hunter and lit
tie Margaret Smith, were re-
turning late Sunday afternoon,
from a visit with friends at Ro-
chester. G.. Jaehning was driving
the car and was suddenly con-
fronted by the Albrecht car
which had rounded the corner
on the left side to avoid the rise
in the middle of the road. A
field Of standing corn had hid
den the cars from each other
until they met at the corner. A
telephone pole at Mr.. Jaehning's
right made it impossible for him
to clear the road in that direc-
ton, and before either driver
could swing his machine a suf-
ficient distance, the collision oc-
Cured. The cars were going at
a speed of twenty miles an hour,
and it is apparent that neither
driver was guilty of careless
ness or recklessness. Had they
been going at a high speed the
smaller car, Mr.. Albrecht's
Glide, must have been utterly
demolished by the heavier car,
Mr.. Smiths Cadillac.
Mr.. Albrecht was not thrown
from his car and just how he
received his injuries has not
been exactly determined. When
Mr.. Jaehning, the first to re-
cover from the shock, went to
him he was apparently in great
pain. He was put into another
car which came by immediate
ly after the accident and taken
to Morgan where he received
surgical attention within a very
short time. Hopes were enter
tanned Of his recovery up to a
short time before his death
Monday evening.
Margaret Smith. the two year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Smith, sustained a broken
collar bone, but aside from that
none Of the others of either par
ty was seriously injured. Mrs.
Albrecht and her son and daugh-
ter were al bruised and scratch
ed, and all participants in the
accident received severe nervous
shocks. Both cars are badly
damaged.
This is the fifth fatal auto
mobile accident in Redwood
County within the last five or
six weeks.

Il am amused and likewise
tortured by the crosswise pre-
dictions made in regard to our

dict with earnestness that by
Thanksgiving we shall be much
nearer Mexico City than we now

is chronic with men whose minds
have been trained to view mill

There are of course officers w,4o
claim the emergency has pissed

sonal ''hunch" that we shall eat

from Fort Sam Houston has
called for immediate requisition
lists of overcoats and heavy I'M
derwear. Now such clothing we
do not need here. That's an
item to jump at Of course, but
there are many other orders
and courses of instructions to
officers in regard to mastering
processes which bear on to the
conviction.

garding the necessity of inter-

should keep our hands off-elect
