| The winning team was the Oppor
! tunity Club of Lamberton, club made
up of Freshman girls whose demon,
stration was a model of dexterity anC
neatness. Their talk accompanying
their demonstration was also vel
worded, containing description of tn.
entire process of bread and was clev

other two teams of Lamberton refleci
!, very great credit upon thu work o.
their instructor, Miss Mary Sweeney
who has done a very unusual thing il
directing the work of three demon

girls and they are worthy of all In,
appreciation their county and town
can show them. Clubs have not we
stated the number of loaves Of breat
baked by them but the Lambertol
clubs report an aggregate production
of 1912 loaves, 261 dozen quick bread

Two More Big
Speakers to Come
DR.. AMAURY MARS AND MAJOR
ARTHUR LIBBY HERE ON
CHAUTAUQUA CIRCUIT

Announcement is made by d. l..
Crimmins, local manager for the Mid
land Chautauqua that one of the most
brilliant of the French orators in the
country has been secured for the Red
wood Falls Chautauqua. He is DIR.
Amaury Mars, an American citizen
born in France but brought back to
America at the age of two years, edu-
Gated at the University of Paris, mem
Der of the French Legion, officer of
the French Academy, distinguished
physician who pursued original in
vestigation not only in France but IN
Germany and Russia. At the open
ing of the war, he was in Gutenberg
settling an estate, witnessed the Kali
ser's invasion of the neutral Duchy,
was arrested and condemned to death
as French spy but finally reprieved,
spent over three years in Luxemberg
prison camp, made a marvellous es-
cape and has been honored by the
United States government since his
return to this country. Washington
and New York have been loud in their
praise. He was friend of President
Mckinley. Papers report that nothing
more patriotic, more thrilling, or more
noble has ever been heard"
In addition to this, as an especial adj
ded attraction, Major Arthur S. Libby,
attachee In the American Consulate at
Frankfort, Germany, before the war,
has been secured. He was in Berlin
when the war broke, heard the Kali
ser's famous speech and brings much
valuable informatin from the other
side. During the war he was in Inter
prefer on the General Staff of the
United States Army, and taught
French to many of the General and
other staffs. His lecture will deal with
Reconstruction problems, as well as
current history, and his interesting
personal narrative holds the closest
attention of every audience.

American Legion
Holds Meeting
SOLDIERS CONSIDER AFFAIRS OF
LEGION AT DISTRICT CONVEN-
TTON AT MANKATO.

TEe following report of the Second
District meeting of the American Le-
gion, is made by Lieutenant G. II.
Baldwin who was Redwood County's
delegate at this meeting.
Pursuant to instruction of the Dis
trict Meeting held at Mankato, May
Convention of the American Legion
to be held at the Elks Hall in the city
of Mankato, Minnesota, on Saturday
May "a, 1919 at 8 o'clock.
"The object of the Convention was
to initiate the formation of Posts of
the American Legion in the Second
District 20 receive the reports of the
delegates to the st. Louis Caucus, and
to transact such other business as
may properly come before it.
sThe meeting was attended by
twenty eight delegates from Counties
throughout the District. Only three
Counties failed to send Delegates. The
meeting was called to order by Ivan
Bowen of Mankato, District Chairman
who had been elected at previous
meeting in that city. The chief sub
ject for discussion was the problem
of organizing Posts in each County
The question of whether it would be
best to have main Post in each Coun-
| ty Seat or let each town in the Coun-
ty initiate it's own Post resulted in fav-
or of the latter idea. Each Post will
elect the following Officers: Post
Commander, Vice Commander, Adju-
tant Finance Officer, Historian, anC
/ Chaplin.
"A roll call was taken to find out
how many towns in the district had or.
gained and applied for a Charter. II
was found that while several temper.
airy organizations had been FORMED
only three had applied for a Charter
| Therefore it was recommended that
the first thing to do was to go back
home and organize our own towns anC
put forth special efforts for large
member ship. The delay in organic,
ing heretofore seemed to be due tt
/ lack of knowledge and authority to &C
ahead with the forming of Posts.
Every one at the meeting was in
tensely interested in the American lie
gion and without doubt the next few
weeks will find number of Posts or
lganized in each County"
The club women of the Second Dis
trict held a very interesting meet
ing at New Ulm, Wednesday ant
Thursday of last week. The clubs O.
Redwood County represented at thii
meeting were two of the Redwoot
/ Falls clubs, Sanborn Club and tn
Mothers Club of Shutdown township
Toasts at the Wednesday night ban
lquet were very cleverly responded t.
by Mrs Lillian Hall of Redwood Fall
and Mrs. John Posi- of Sanborn. Anoth
er Redwood County woman who ap
peared on the program was Mrs. c. w
i Bellville who is a member of Trac,
Club Mrs. Bellville's paper on "A Da,
in The Shakespeare Country" was mos
interesting. Redwood Falls was re
! presented at the meeting by Mesdame
Hall, G. " Everett, C. c. King, j. Z
, Philbrick, j. Knutson and B. M. Wi
son. The ladies returned Thursda
; afternoon, lound in their praise of tn
, many good features of the program
and of the generous and gracious hos
pitality shown them by thu ladies an
, the other residents of New Ulm.

ADVISING CHINA SOFT JOB
Twenty-Five Persons Draw Salaries
From Bankrupt Country
as advisers"

Why not be an adviser to China
with good salary? All you have to
do to get such sinecure, according
to Ellen N. La Notes Picking Dust
Century, is to have your government
bring a little pressure to bear on
China. In a chapter Of her book writ
ten In Picking, Miss La Motto says:
There is a quaint custom here, which,
as far as / know. is unique in the his
tory of international relations. That
is the custom of giving advice to
China. Any country can do it, appar-
entity. Any country that thinks China
would be benefited by little disinter-
ested and helpful counsel can see that
she gets it-and that she pays for 1t.
too. Any person who wishes a lucra-
tive position can get his government
to appoint him as an adviser to
China. and his government will see
to it that China pays him a salary.
AS far as l know, China does not ask
for this advice; 1t is thrust upon her
unsouQht. But she must pay for the
privilege. whether she likes 1t or not.
So over they come, these various 'ad-
visers' from various foreign nations,
and settle down here in Picking as the
ofticial advisers Of this and that, and
draw their salaries from this bankrupt
old government. The China Year Book
for 1916 gives "a list of twenty-five such

Market Opinions
Western Banks

Sentiment is quite bullish in stock
market circles, and if there is no hitch
or no restrictive measures the big pub
lie that was in the market several
weeks ago will again take hold, al
though we must keep in mind that the
money supply is not so free as it was
then, nor is it likely to be. But there
is evidence that many western people
finance their own stock market commit
nents. For tho first time in history
obscure western bankers know some
collateral and are willing to accomro-
date their customers.-E. ". Wagner
e Co.
Second Wind.
Wall Street is waiting to get it's sec
ond wind.-Lamborn e Co.
Some Reasons
Some of our main reasons for ex-
pecting higher prices in July or August
are:
I've do not think that many of the
biggest holders of stocks have done
much selling this year. There has
been distribution Of stocks by pools and
by small holders only.
2-Much of the selling has been for
the short account. This is indicated
by the present borrowing demand for,
and the loaning rates on, stocks.
3-We expect money rates to be
lower in July. We cannot, in fact,
escape the feeling that the present
rates are artifcially high and are made
so for disciplinary purposes-that is,
to prevent speculation from becoming
wild and dangerous. With Is per cent
call money the rates on acceptances re-
manned unchanRed
I've do not think that as to most
industrial stocks, the present advance
has fully discounted the present and
prospective earnings and the huge sur
pluses of these corporations.
5-Commodity prices show strong
upward trend. Higher prices spell
prosperity for most industries.-Good-
b0du e Co.
