FREE LIST CUT OFF
.BYD. A. R. MAGAZINE
Action Follows Long and Bitter
WrangIe on Floor Of Congress.
$1ISubscription Now.
Free list suspended" ("

This notice will be hung in a con-
spicuous place in the office Of the d.
A. r. Magazine as a result of yester-
days action by the twenty-sixth con-
gress.
For one year the daughters gave
away their magazine to $4,000 mem
bers. Yesterday the congress fixed
the subscription price at 81 q year.
Motion to make each subscriber
pay for the magazine was made by
Mrs. George Minor, OF Connecticut,
and carried after one of the bitterest,
most acrimonious, and protracted
wrangles at a d. A. R. congress for
many years.
Discussion of the finances Of the
magazine lasted almost fve hours. It
was evident that there was something
back OF this hght other than the well
fare Of the magazine. That somethinE
was the election OF today.
Campaigned for Year.
The anti-adminIstration forces, led by
Mrs. George Thacher Guernsey, have
campaigned for a year on the issue of
alleged extravagahce and mlsmanage-
ment Of the, magazine.
Submission Of a report By Miss Flor
ence Finch, chairman of the magazine
committee, gave the Insurgents the
chance they had been awaiting for
twelve months, and they quickly
availed themselves of the opportunity
to attack the administration through
the magazine management and en-
deavor to pile up campaign material
The discussion waxed 30 hot and the
insurgents became SO excited that at
all times during the afternoon session
there were from five to twenty wom-
en- on their feet clamoring for recog-
milton.
For time It looked as II the
congress would be hopelessly swamp
ed in a parliamentary morass. 1t was
extricated, however. by the suggestion
from Miss Finch. She said the maya
zine was doing very nicely with its
paid-up subscription OF about 10000,
when the congress voted last year to
give away the magazines to the entire
membership.
Costs Little More.
She reminded the Daughters that It
cost more money to print $4,000 high
class magazines on good paper and
give them away than II did to print
10000, for which subscriptions were
paid. ~ rr-
She also emphasized the fact that
culation by $1,000, and cut off the
revenue from subscriptions, 1t failed
to provide any means whatsoever for
financing the periodical
Miss Finch was the storm center
of the entire fight. She stood cour-
ageously, like Horatius at the bridge,
and battled valiantly for the life Of
the magazine, and in the defense OF
its management. From all sides of
the hall came sarcastic, biting, and
incisive criticisms of the financial
management of the magazine
Miss Finch stood as cool as the
proverbial cucumber. never lost her
poise 70 ra moment, and gave the
critics as good as they sent. And
she won.
The congress also voted to have
the editor appointed instead Of elect
ed by the entire membership.

U. S. CONTROLS COFFEE
American Interests Get Hold OF
Whole Brazilian Crop.

RIO DE JANEIRo, April 1S.-The
next Brazilian coffee crop is esti-
mated at between twelve and thir-
teen million bags of 1872 pounds each.
The extraordinary feature about this
crop is that about two-thirds of these
bags will be bought, sold, shipped, or
otherwise handled for the first time
by American business interests repre-
sented here in Brazil. SWar and
American enterprise constitute the
reasons.
The British blacklist, the shortage
OF shipping for European ports, lack
of financial support, and the depar-
ture of Germans to their own coun-
try to fight opened the door for
Americans to take the coffee business
from the Germans.

Indians Get Liquor

1ShexSG s. E. Callum made an
official cak on the Indians 1t the
reservation one day last week
and found on Indian. trying to
get away with a bottle of alco-
hol. Saturday two Of the Indians
were taken up for trial at Red
wood Falls and given a fine Of
$25 and costs, which they paid.
The instigator Of the booze bust
ness in this case seems to have
been an Indian from elsewhere
who was visiting at the local
reservation. OF course the red
men on the hill were not averse
to helping make away with the
wet goods before it had time to
spoil, and it was not allowed to
do so.
Last week the visiting red
man ran his auto off the bridge
and while waiting by the bridge
for repairs for the auto, some
one stole one of the tires from
the machine, 50 undoubtedly he
knows now that booze and gaso-
line do not mix well.
Federal authorities are exr
pected to follow up the matter
|of furnishing local Indians with
liquor and the penalty then may
be much more severe than now
las the authorities intend to break
up this practice.

Julius A. Schmahl Buys First Bond
Quota For cityIs 100000. Every Bond
at Per Cent Is Gilt Edged Investment;
Rare Chance to Prove Yourself

The campaign for the Second
Liberty Loan Bond is now on in
full force and Redwood County
lis going to do her bit and per-
+haps a little bit more. A meet
ing Of a few Of the business men
was held Monday evening and
a subscription Of $4,000 was
made in about as many minutes,
every man stating that he felt
a splendid opportunity was
being given the public to buy
|4% bonds the best investment
one could possibly make at the
present time.
Julius A. Schmahl, secretary
Of State, was the first Redwood
Falls citizen to subscribe for a
bond and probably the first per-
son in the County to buy one.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Schmahl
wrote the State Bank Of Red
wood Falls, subscribing $500 for
the second loan. Mr.. Schmahl
was also a heavy subscriber to
the first loan, through the local
banks. The First National Bank
reports that Leon j. Orth was
the first subscriber at that in
stitution, taking a $3.50 bond,
and Stanley Haues was
the first subscriber at the Farm
er's State Bank.
Aside from buying bonds as

10 the Public

~-s0J - n VA<1<A4k1
1 wish to impress upon you
the vital Importance of doing
everything you can to make the
present Government Loan a sue
cess. It is of paramount inpor-
Itance that every citizen shall
subscribe to the bonds accord
I ing to his means, for upon the
success Of this loan depends not
only our ability to be Of finan-
|cial assistance to our Allies, but
also to participate >effectually in
actively carrying on the war.
It is obvious that the failure
|of this loan would be a stunning
blow to general business and to
| the financial situation, as well
as an irretrievable blow to the
honor and reputation of this
country. Viewed from any stand
point, every holder of securities
land every business man has a
vital interest in the success Of
this loan. Failure would mean
prostration of general business
and q further and greater de-
cline in the quotations for all
securities.
To make the loan a success,
every citizen must do his share
according to his ability. The
man who goes to war accepts not
only a financial sacrifice by CIV
ing up his business for a nomi-
nal compensation from the Gov
Fernnent, but offers his life as
well. He gives all he has. The
man at home is in duty bound
Ito do his share by investing in
this loan according to his means.
Such q purchase is a privilege
and not sacrifice. It means an
investment, yielding 40, in the
premier security Of the world,
and in all probability an ultimate
Substantial profit.
It is your duty and your priv
llege to. subscribe to this loan,
! and the individual who fails to
acknowledge his obligation in
| this direction is evading a duty
Ito his country and to those who
are offering their liyes to en-
sure his safety. Please enter
your subscription Immediately
with your local bank (where you
can obtain further information
lif you desire) in order that your
County allotment may be over.
Subscribed.
Yours very truly,
/ III. A. BALDWIN,
/ County Chairman.

Redwood Beats

Saturdays Game Big Victory
for Local High School Foot
ball Warriors
WINDOW NEXT
Glencoe Redwood Game One Of
Schedules Best; Window
Here Saturday

In a long drawn-Out game be-
fore a small crowd Redwood
Falls high school last Saturday
defeated Renville high school by
a score of 81 to 8, thus retriev-
ing the loss of last years
Thanksgiving game to Renville.
AS a whole the game was slow,
due chiefly to Renville's wind
signals" After lining up over
1.-THE ball the Renville quarter
back called numerous shifts and
made the game slow, beside caus-
ing penalties for off side.
Renville has the strongest
backfield' in Roodtke and O'Con-
nor that the local team has en-
countered this year. Both have
had long football experience, and
had they been supported by a
strong line they might: have been
able to keep the score down. Red
woods line broke through Rem
ville's first defense time after
time for a loss. Melges, Kumm
and Seifert showed up well in
this work. Renville played an
open game from start to finish.
Long end runs by O'Connor or
Roodtke or forward passes after
a lateral run featured the game.
Three of the runs we're success
'-ful, but as a whole they were
more sensational for the side
liner than successful for the
team.
AS usual Redwood played a
consisteN game, not producing
any outstanding stars although
Mason's work on the receiving
end of forward passes was rath-
er better than usual. However,
much credit for the success of
the passes is due Lamberton and
Capt. Yackel who operated on
the sending end. Accuracy in
passing is as essential as accu-
racy in receiving and the two
backfield men showed up well.
Hauck at left end played against
a man who lowered above him
head and shoulders, but who
could not stay with the willy Red
wood end.
First Quarter.
Redwood kicked to Renville
who received the oval on their
20-yard line. In the second play
! Renville fumbled and Redwood
received. Redwood smashed her
way to Renville's 1-yard line
and lost on downs. Renville here
attempted the unusual thing. In
stead of punting on her first
down behind her own goal line
she attempted a wide end run,
thus risking a tumble and a
touch back or a touchdown by
her opponents. She was stopped
behind the line and forced to
punt. Redwood received and adj
vanced the pigskin to within
passing distance of the goal line.
