RenviIIe Scores
Over Redwood Nine
Baseball Boys Beaten 10 to 6 at
Renville Saturday; Play Oil
via Here May IL

The high school baseball nine
went to Renville Saturday for
the first game of the season.
Owing largely to the absence of
the regular pitcher Budd Geroy,
the team went down to defeat,
the score being 10 to 6 in favor
of Renville. However for mex
perienced players the boys played
a good game and a game carry
ing much promise for the flu
ture. F. L. French, athletic in
structor and coach, accompanied
the team, and reports the out
look an encouraging one.
Saturday, at two o'clock, the
local team will meet the Olivia
team on the local diamond. Oil
via defeated Renville by a small
score last Friday afternoon and
this game promises to be a close
lone. All the friends of the team
should make an effort to be pres
ent and give the boys all pos
sible support in their athletic
endeavor.
! Gill and Engeman formed the
Redwood Falls battery in Satur-
days game, and Boode and Con-
ner for the Renville nine. The
score stood 2 to l for Redwood
at the end Of the fourth inning.
The full nine innings were
played. The boys were given
splendid treatment by the Rem
vile team and by those on the
sidelines and the whole game,
barring the score, was a most
pleasant one. The trip to Rem
vile was made by car and was
without accident.

The following getter, written
to the Candy News by Bernard

My dear MarshaM:

am certainly pleased with the
tone that your paper is taking
respecting the present crisis.

ings recently called purposely to
consider phases of this war and

lie today is not fully awake to
the gravity of the situation that
confronts them.
The Last Resort.
1t is most freely rumored in
the most thoughtful, best edu-
Gated and highest circles in Phil
adelphia that the mission of
General Joffre and the French
ENJOYS was for the purpose of
telling Wilson confdentially that
the Allies are practically de-
feated, that they are facing ia
mine and probable starvation
next fall, and that the German
nation is in very much similar
straits. | have heard one of the
most responsible men of Phila-
delphia say that Mr.. Wilson
knew three weeks before the
declaration of the war that the
situation had reached stage
where ultimately we would have
to fight Germany ourselves or
else join with the Allies. There
is no doubt in my mind that this
country is the last resort to
which the Allies are turning and
it may decide victory or defeat.
Russia is openly considered a
most uncertain, quantity and it's
DETECTION from the Allies might
mean very serious results.

Spelling Contest
Held Saturday
County Schools Make Fine Show

at WabassO May 5
CONTESTS ARE TALKED
Mr.. Howard of State Department
Gives Advice in Effective Corn,
Pig And Bread Contests

The County Spelling Contest /
was held at ,Wabasso Saturday,
under the direction of Adella G..
Pratt, superintendent of county |
schools. The attendance was
large considering that this is a
busy season, work keeping many
of the parents and some of the
pupils at home. About seventy
pupils of the county schools, the
majority Of them representing
the rural districts took part in
both the oral and written con-
tests.
Winners.
The winner of first place in
the written contest was Chris
tina Anderson of District 88,
Charlestown township. In the
oral contest John Drinberger of
District Sc, Underwood town.
ship won first place and Fran
els Mueller of District II, Sun
down township won second place.
The two winners of first places
will represent the County in the
spelling contest at the State Fair
next September, having all their
expenses paid.
The spelling was much better
this year than last, in the opin-
ion of those who attended both
contests. J. C. Ryan, principal
of the Redwood Falls high school
pronounced the words, his pro-
nunciation being clear and force
full and most satisfactory to the
young contestants. While all
grades from fourth to eighth
were represented, Mr.. Ryan
found it necessary to resort to
high school spelling lists in or
der to close the contest in time
for pupils and teachers to take
the trains.
The Redwood Falls schools
were represented by Won Lusch-
err and John Evans of the Sew
enth Grade. Won won third place
in the ranks of oral spoilers, the
word forfeiture" proving his
undoing after some very valiant
spelling on his part. Other boys
from the Redwood Falls neigh.

of District 4, and Thomas Hos

I think there is no doubt but
what the great Northwest will

the next three years.

being done in the best inter ests

while to produce hogs, beef or

above all pay attention to the

ment that that will be the most
profitable course to pursue any

Marvels at Russia.
I am frankly amazed at the
new developments in Russia. The
fact that that great nation was
able to so organize it's people as
to take over into it's own hands

Yet more astounding is the fact
that after having taken the gov

Here are some of the reasons why
Anne Rittenhouse is the greatest fash
ion writer in America:
Anne Rittenhouse has a genius for
expressing herself in plain, concise,
direct, realistically descriptive news
paper English. She is one of the best
trained newspaper women in the
country
Discovered first by S. S. Mcclure
and employed on the staff of the Nc
Clure Newspaper Syndicate. she was
later engaged by Charles Emory
Smith editor of the philadelphia
for that paper. She reported two ma
tional conventions for the press; as
special correspondent in Washington
she interviewed President Mckinley,
cabinet officers. congressman and SEN
ators. She produced some of the
most brilliant reportorial work ever
done on any American newspaper.
Later Miss Hallmark Canine Ritten-
house, originated the woman's section
of the Philadelphia Press, which prob

ton of that paper than any other
feature.
She was then engaged for four years
by the Philadelphia Public Ledger and
New York Times, where she had COM
plete charge Of the fashion and wo-
mems departments.
At a large yearly expense, which
included two trips each year to Paris
and the engaging of two high-priced
artists. a longtime contract was made
with Miss Hallmark.
Anne Rittenhouse is the highest paid
fashion writer under contract in this
country. And she is worth it
There is no otter fashion writer
who compares with her. Her articles,
both weekly and daily, are NEWS, not
d rehash of magazine articles. They
anticipate by several months what
fashion will dictate. They are written
with a journalistic snap and vim that
make them good reading as literature.
The publishing OF the Anne Ritten-
house service means the securing of
advertising from high-cIass depart
ment stores and women's shops
American women know that the
name of Anne Rittenhouse is synony-
nous with the last word of fash
ions" They know that the paper that
gives them her service is giving them
| the best that can be secured. Perhaps
there is no writer as often spoken Of
and quoted by women newspaper read
ers as Anne Rittenhouse-
Her audience is a large and demo-
cratic one. She says herself that she
realizes that she has no keener critic
