A Good Exhibit

The class in Manual Training
at the Redwood Falls school has
on display at the Palace as fine
an exhibit as one would wish to
see. A close examination of the
many articles reveals the fact
that great skill and patience
were necessary in making many
Of the useful things shown. The
Domestic Art department also
has an exhibit at the Philbrick
store. AS an evidence of their
clever handicraft the boys and
girls cannot be complimented too
highly. However, we must be-
stow our modicum of praise on
the instructors Of these depart
ments, whose genius is reflected
in the beautiful creations which
their pupils have on display.

stroyers were on their way to
England in time to sow their

''If these men are all we think
they are-that is, German mill

official here today, "they will

Decoration Day
Program Was Fine
Morning Exercises Abandoned
On Account of the Adverse
Weather Conditions

Inc Decoration Day exercises
held in the Armory last We'd
nesday was largely attended.
Notwithstanding the fact that it
rained nearly all day. This large
attendance was a marked tribute
to the old soldiers, whose ranks
are steadily decreasing.
The program was an elaborate
one, Senator Clague acting as
master Of ceremonies. In his
invocation, Rev. Holt paid a high
compliment to the Old soldiers,
and also spoke feelingly of the
boys who are, about to enter the
ranks. Mrs. Carruth then read
Abraham Lincoln's great mas
terpiece, his speech at Gettys-
burg, She was listened to with
raped attention, as her enun-
citation was perfect.
Mr.. Stewart Talks.
Mr.. Clague then introduced
Andrew Stewart, public safety
commissioner for Redwood Co.
He spoke briefly of the needs Of
such an organization and asked
every man to respond nobly and
do his duty to his country. Mr..
Stewart also spoke very elo-
quently of the great part which
our mothers are playing in this
tremendous war drama. At the
conclusion of his speech Mr..
Stewart introduced r. ]. Hall of
Willmar, who related a few of
the stirring incidents in which
he took part during the Civil
War.
Excellent Singing.
One of the best features on
the program was the singing by
the male quartette. These gentle
men possess exceptionally good
voices and the applause they re-
ceived was very encouraging as
well as fattering.
Judge Olsen Speaks.
Hon. Judge |. M. Olsen was
the speaker of the day, and in
introducing him, Mr.. Clague
complimented this district in
having on the bench a man of
Judge Olsen's integrity and
broadmindedness who, in admin
istering justice, recognized
neither prince nor peasant. Mr..
Olsen's speech, which covers
some of the present-day issues,
is printed in full on the editorial
page of this paper.
H. A. Baldwin, although not
on the official program, then
made a few pertinent remarks
anent the Liberty Loan Bonds"
by saying that it was the sacred
duty of everyone to subscribe
literally. He pointed out the
fact that the sinews of war were
"Men and Money" and that
without the latter, the former
would be helpless. Mr.. Baldwin
has a gigantic task on his hands
and invites everyone to lose no
time in visiting any Of the three
banks and do their ''bit" for
Uncle Sam. At this point in the
proceedings Commander Henry
Schmid related some of the in
cident that befell him during the
Civil War.
The entire audience joined in
singing ''America,' after which
the meeting adjourned. The
Scenic City Band rendered some
excellent music before and dur
ing the program that was very
much enjoyed. The stage was
beautifully decorated by flags
and bunting.

 A dainty little gown for the young woman is of silk net. and has a trim ming of three tiny ruffles each edsed with ribbon about the knees of the full skirt.

The frivilous fan has actually gone off on a utility tangent It serves a double purpose-turn it one way and it's a fan; the other way you have a vanity bag. The bag keeps mOdestly in the background. It is satin with a drawstring top. and covered on both sides with uncurled ostriche feathers arranged in fan shape. A tortoise shell bracelet is the finish.
 The fashionable coiffure IS increas. ing in height The 1890 style is fav- ored. The dressing is in the form of an upstanding loon. surrounded with coil, and posed in slantins fashion.

That apprehension has been somewhat veri- fed for the rich silks and wonderful Erccadc~ constantly arc teing used in Inappropriate ways. They arc heinz cut up and draped and spoiled in one way or another to bring about anNthinc but a desirable result. They are many ol them really too ornate really too rich and handsome in color tc le used for gowns for they dwarf the wcarer~ They should be reserved for opera wraps and for garments oi such sort which allow pf entirely dil- ferent effects and treatment But. while this IS true on the one hand and enc meets with more or less distressing exhibitions. there Is a great deal that is really beautiful. and. since It should always be the part of the wise woman 10 look for the best and to ind the teautiful. it Is a season of opportunity 'n spite oi these facts.
