You will notice that the body is four

~LLEN AND JESSIE had to go
past Main street on their way
A home from school and every
IA-& time they went by the toy store
they stopped to look in at the
window You know how that Is your

And, Of course, they didn't get tired
Of looking because every day or two
or at the most three. the toys in the
window were changed and there was
something new 10 see.
one day, not so very long before
Christmas. the girls discovered that
the whole window was full OF dolls
big dolls, little dolls, foreign dolls and
rag dolls Every single kind that a
little girl might want was there. And
down at the bottom Of the window, set
IN the long beautiful row, were some
extra fine dolls, all packed in boxes
and their names marked on the top.
Jessie and Ellen thought they never
could leave that window they did so
love to look at those beautiful dolls.
Ellen decided that she would rather
have the doll marked Belle" because
She liked the handsome furs she had;

THE BIRDS. CHRISTMAS TREE

He would fix the birds a Christmas
tree!
He rushed to the stairs and called.
Sue, come here, I've found something
to dot"
In a whirl of happy expectation
Susan ran up the stairs, What is it,
what are you going to do?"
We're going to trim this old Christ
mas tree and put it out doors for the
BIRDS"
Birds don't like Christmas trees"
said Susan skeptically. all they caro-
about is something TO eat!"
That's just it." exclaimed Tom, de-
lightedIy, this tree is going to be
trimmed with all the things birds like
10 eat-corn and grain and crumbs"
Happily the two children set to
work.
First they popped corn and strung
it on strings through the branches.
Then they cut pieces of bread into
fancy shapes and tied them on for
ornaments. Last OF all they sprinkled
over the whole tree some oatmeal for
the tinsel.
Putting on their warm wraps, they
ploughed through the deep snow. set
the tree up in the middle Of the front
yard and scampered back TO the living
room windows TO watch the fun.
At first the birds were bit cautious
and investigated slowly. One brave
bird hoped very near and grabbed
a bite! Nothing happened so he
perched on the little tree and ate that
popcorn as though he had never be-
fore had a single bite to eat!
The other birds quickly lost their
fear and came from tree and fence to
enjoy the feast.

ON SOUTH SIDE
EARNS HIGHEST AMOUNT
IN COUNTY BY SALE

The village of Lamberton just
went clean over the top with a
whoop Saturday at the Red Cross
sale held there, the amount of cash
on hand at the close of the books
Saturday totaling S11,2OO with sew
eral sources still to hear from.
While some splendid sales have been
given by other communities, notably
Morgan and Milroy, the sale at Lam
berton is ahead by several thousand
dollars. The money was earned by
an immense auction sale, with line
of side issues consisting of lunch
counters, tag selling, piano chances
ad various other schemes.
The sale proper was cried by D. L.
Crimmins, assisted by Rev. Holt of
Redwood Falls. A splendid array of
articles for sale had been donated
by the merchants, the farmers and
the housewives of the community
and Mr.. Crimmins and his assistant
did full justice to their stock. The
chief autioneer became so excited
and anxious to get all there was in
the crowd that he even auctioned his
own coat, but as it brought a good
price it didn't matter a all to him.
The beautiful flag, made by the
Art club of Lamberton finally be-
came the property of the village,
after earning $50 for the cause. 1t
will be kept on display at Lamberton.

The act providing for the registra-

sued shortly naming June 5th, 1918,

According to orders up to date, the
local board of Redwood county, Red

be only four places of registration in
this county and the list of these
places for registering will be pub

County and city attorneys, mar

The Primary Farce

The primary law in this state is
enough to sicken goat. We hope
that its enthusiastic supporters will
get enough of it this year, and that
the next legislature will have the
good sense and the moral courage to
relegate it to the junkpile The pri-
mary law takes the self-seeker by
the hand, leads him up to the top Of
a high mountain and shows him the
promised land. The primary places
a premium on plutocrats, and bars
the poor, but worthy, from seeking
to crafty a laudable ambition be-
cause of the almost prohibitive price
of making two campaigns. Look at
some of the men who are running for
Office in this state! A lot Of them
ought to be in Jail, and yet this
damphool primary made it possible
for them to go out and pose as state
men. The convention system of
other days was bad in many ways,
but in its most puturid days it was
far superior to this abortion we call
the primary.-Winnebago Enter
