vorce because his wife won't wash dishes. These moving picture theatres are certainly playing havoc with city fami- lies.
 Sometimes we wonder what would have happened to the old woman who live! in the shoe if her landlord had, raised the rent every month.
 Sometimes we wonder if these conspirators to over throw the government are so foolish as to think they really can overthrow it.

 The Brinkley family that doesn't have turkey on the table these days has one con- solation-there's no fighting over who gets the gizzard.
 And for our failure to get the peace we fought for and supposed we are going to get. you can thank the politicians in Congress.
 From the high price of turkeys and chickens we are inclined to believe there's something in the old saying that birds of a feather flock together"

THEY DO SAY THAT

Most any Brinkley woman will tell you that a husband on earth is worth two in the other place-sometimes.
 From the number of candi- dates coming out you'd think the job carried a free grocery bill with it.
 It's hard for a poor thief to decide these days whether to steal whiskey, sugar or coal. When a coal famine is men toned it makes the average man envy the bear in that he can't crawl into a hole and stay there until spring. Maybe the reason some Brinkley people never change their mind is because they are like the man with only one shirt.
 We've always noticed this about the thing they call love- it is never so blind that it can't distinguish a dollar-mark. It has about gotten around to the point in this country where if a fellow will buy the grocery they'll throw in a pound of sugar.
 And any Brinkley woman will tell you that her husband can fly off the handle without the aid of an airplant.

Erwin YaCkeI IS
Heard In Recital
YOUNG PIANIST GIVES SPLENDID
PROGRAM OF SEVEN BIG
NUMBERS.

To the small company invited to
the studio of Miss Maude Peterson to
. hear Erwin Yackel in recital last We'd
! ne5day evening, the playing of this
young artist was a revelation and his
program afforded the keenest enjoy
ment to his audience. While his work
has always excited the keenest and
most sincere admiration, he has at no
time before last Wednesday attempted
so iull program of really splendid
numbers by the worlds greatest mas
tiers and his Interpretation of the COM
position showed a remarkable versatl-
lily as we'll as the wonderful brllllancy
of his technique.
The first number, Polonaise by the
NAmerican composer, Macdowel, ana
THE fifth number the Staccato Etude
Ny the same composer, were 1llustra-
tions Of the heavy brilliant style OF the
player and showed to advantage his oc-
tave work which is little short OF mar
yelous in so youthful player. In
contrast to this was the second num-
Der. Raff's Polka de la RENE, which
showed the exquisitness of his light,
staccato touch Another staccato num-
Der the Pubestein Staccato Etude also
showed this touch in combination with
a rapidity and freedom Of playing US
ING his wonderful wrist development
and making evident the range of his
technique from the lightest to the hea-
West. Possibly the versatility of the
player was as we'll shown in this num-
Der as any played His lyric style was
clevery displayed however, in the beau
tiful Etude by Arensky. Here he
managed. with veritable genius to keep
all the deep feeling of the melody
while using in the accompaniment a
light, very rapid finger technique the
combination being one not often SO
well achieved as by this young artist,
Mr.. Yackel's Grieg number, .Auf den
Bergan ION the Mountain) was a
charming example of his sense OF hui
NOR in Interpretation. His rendition
of the folk-dance melody was
rollicking, spirited and contrasted ad-
mirabIy with the heavy work of tbs
compositions He closed his program
with La Compenella, the air by Pa.
gainni, transcribed by Franz List
This was beautiful example of the
contrast between the lyric accompa
minent and the melody which was
wonderfully interpreted. Of the en-
tire seven numbers this number vii
perhaps remain longest in the mem
DRY of the audience which was thrilled
by the beauty of the Interpretation
and wonder-struck by the genius
which enabled this mere lad to bring
forth the wealth of melody.
While Erwin has talent, a genius
and an unde.stan. ss;1sg Of n1Gsic sucl
as are not given to many people, hi:
playing which is the delight of all wh'
hear him, is the result of hours up
on hours every week of painstakint
and patient practise. "One per cen
genius and ninety nine per cent hare
work" is about the way Miss Peter
son with whom he has studied for tn
past year classifies his playing. On
of the chief charms of his music i
the simplicity and unassuming quali
ty of his manner.

Redwood Farmer
Commits Suicide
GEORGE LOVE TAKES OWN LIFE
LAST FRIDAY MORN
ING.

The body of George Love, farmer
living "a few miles southwest of Red
wood Falls. was discovered by his son
early last Friday morning, the father
having taken his own life by hanging.
Funeral services were held at the home
Monday afternoon, Rev. G. F. Martin
reading the burial service. Interment
was made in the cemetery at Redwood
Falls
Mr.. Love was man IN good finan-
cial circumstances and his domestic
relations were of the happiest. His
neighbors speak highly of him as a
splendid parent, a good husband and
a fine neighbor. 1t is hard to discov-
err an incentive for his rash deed, which
is probably tracable to intense mental
depression because of considerable i'll
ness in his family during the past
few months. He is survived by his
wife and two children as well as sever
al brothers and sister. Much sympa-
thy is felt for the bereaved family.

Capt. Lauter bach
Coming

Captain John Lauterbach of Red
wood Falls arrived in New York from
overseas service last week AM is pro
badly now on his way to Minneapolis
where Mrs. Lauterbach is living. He
will undoubtedly arrive in Redwood
Falls for visit with his parents Mr..
and Mrs. John Lauterbach Sr. within
the next few days. Captain Lauter-
bach has been recently discharged from
base hospital where he had an oper-
alton performed and it is perhaps be-
cause of this illness that he has been
ordered back to America before the
orher members Of his division. He was
accompanied home by Father Hart Of
Morton who has served for several
months as Chaplain with the army
overseas. 1t is likely that Captain
Lauterbach will remain in the service
for some time yet and his family is
hopeful that he may be assigned to
Fort Smelling.

MEMORIAL TABLET.

The soldiers of the city of Redwood
Falls and the adjacent townships are
to have their names enrolled upon a
bronze memorial tablet, the purchase
of which is being authorized by GER
tain city officials and the Commercial
Club through Mayor w M. Smith and
president W. S. Brammer. The pur-
chase already been made although it
will undoubtedly be several weeks be-
fore the tablet arrives as there are
many orders to be filled.
The tablet is a very artistic one OF
bronze with each name etched on a
brass plate the casuals marked with a
star. The tablet costs ninty dollars and
each name plate costs an additional
fifty cents. It is probable that the size
required will be that which is made to
accommodate two hundred and fifty
names. The locatio: of the tablet will
be decided later.

Commercial Club
Does Much Work
TELEPHONE QUESTION PLACED
WITH COMMITTEE; NEW
MEMBERS ELECTED.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Redwood Falls Club was held at the
club rooms Monday evening with a
fairly good attendance. The chief IN
terest of the evening conferred about
the application made by the Rural
Telephone Company to the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission for per-
mission to come into the city of Red
wood Falls to do business. 1t was
stated that the hearing before the
commission on this request was set
for early in April and if such permits
sion were granted by the Commission
it might result in Redwood Falls hav-
ing two telephone companies doing
business within her limits. This OF
course is highly undesirable from the
the viewpoint of the patrons OF the
service. A committee was appointed
to investigate the matter, to determine
what was to the best interests OF the
city and to present the findings OF
the investigation to the Commission
This committee consists of G. E. Thay-
err. Ira Reynolds, Geo. Countryman
G. A. Patton and W. M. Smith.
Five new members were admitted
to the club as follows; George A
Barnes, A. MacDougall, Geo. Kuenzli
Willard Whittet and Floyd Grapp.
1t was also decided by the Club tt
send Secretary w. G. Weldon to Min
neapolis Wednesday and Thursday O
this week to attend the Better Bust
ness Convention which is being helt
there, to report upon this convention a

business, such as the allowing of billi

Victory Drive to
Open April 21st
BONDS TO TAKE FORM OF SHORT
TERM NOTES; CAMPAIGN
TO CLOSE MAY 10.

The Victory Liberty Loan cam
paign will open Monday, April Fl, and
close three weeks later-Saturday,
May 10.
Secretary Glass announced the dates
together with the fact that short term
notes maturing in not over five years
would be issued instead of longer term
bonds. The amount of notes to be
offered was not disclosed, but it has
been generally understood that the
loan would be for a minimum of $4,000
100000 with the Treasury reserving
the right to accept all over-subscrip-
tions.
Mr.. Glass said that interest rate on
the notes and the amounts to be ex-
empted from taxation would not be de
termined until week or two before
the campaign, as they would be based
upon financial conditions at that time.
1T was intimated, however, that the
notes might bear interest in excess or
IA ID per cent, the interest rate on the
third and fourth loans.
Short Term Notes Planned.
"After studying conditions in all
parts of the country" said Mr.. Glass

the United States will best be served
at this time by the issuance Of short

Make Splendid Sales

The meeting of the Redwood Ship
ming Association held the other days
showed plainly that the Association
IS very much up and coming and that
the past several months have given
splendid results to the members of
the Association. From June 1913 to
March 5, 1919 the organization has
shipped eighty-six carloads OF stock
for which the gross receipts were
5000 $40. 48. These splendid returns
are. the members concede, the results
of the careful and efficient manage
ment of Robert Stewart who has d.
rected the work for the past year,
The Association is looking forward to
a continuation of this fine business.
