Robert w. Hargadine, former

Frank Makes Good

Away back last June, Frank
Scoates of Redwood Falls told
the ladies Of the Redwood Falls
Branch of the Red Cross that he
would give them the receipts
from one acre of his oat crop.
There was no doubt in the la
dies minds that he meant ex-
actly what he said even though
he didn't make a written agree
ment and they have watched the
Scoates' oatfeld with much in
terest all summer. Recently the
crop was threshed and last Sat-
urday Mr.. >Scoates made good
his promise and sent a check for
$17.O5 to the local Red Cross
branch. The gift is very much
appreciated by the officers Of the
branch and will give material
assistance to the cause. Mr..

Season to Score Against
MOntevideO

high school football team jour-
neyed to Montevideo, where on
Saturday the first reverse of tn
season was met. The score was
26 for Montevideo to Z for Red
wood Falls. This score speaks
well for the prowess of our boys.
when we consider that Monte
had scored over 250 points in
four games this season as
against none for The riyais.- It
certainly means something t. be
able to cross the goal line of
such an opponent, since the Mon

ing the season wit 'lout a single
score against it.
The game was remarkable for
its cleanness and freedom from
wrangling, the play being fast.
throughout. Seven minutes af-
ter play had started, Redwood
Falls made the first touc hdown
after continued sar:es of bril-
liant runs and forward passes,
the like of which are seldom
seen in a high school game.
Yackel kicked beautiful goal.
On the next kickoff, Monte be-
gan to show more aggressive
! ness, but lost the ball because
il could not gain consistently.
! Redwood began another drive,
which ended with a tumble on
the Monte four-yard line. Here
Monte seemed to show renewed
spirit and fight, carrying the
ball almost the whole length of
the field for a touchdown by a
series Of onside kicks, fake plays
and terrific line smashes. An
easy goal made the score a tie
The remainder of the half was
a see-saw back and forth across
the field with neither side gam
ing much advantage. When the
whistle blew, Monte bad posses

Conserve Food

What The Kaiser Knows Ameri-

The Governments food pledge |

that there is grave danger the
individual will overlook the i'm
portance Of doing that little,
day in and day out, over alper-

But when the Kaiser heard
|of this food conservation by in
Idividual Americans, ne. consid-
erred the movement such a men
ace to German victory that he
spent large amounts of money
and employed large numbers of
agents in this country to frus-
trate it.
What is important enough for

money to prevent is important
enough for every individual

complish. Food will win the
