DRESS AUDIENCE AT REDWOOD FALLS ARM
DRY MONDAY EVENING" EVERYBODY
COME TO ROUSING MEETING

ling and Lieutenant Jimmie Dolan, all
IN one day is "going some"! And
that is just the rate at which Redwood
Falls is to go next Monday, April Ia.
The dOings begin with big parade in
which the Tank is introduced and end
with rousing meeting at the armory
Monday evening with Lieutenant Do
Ian and Mr. Bowling talking in their
best Irish fashion.
The Tank.
The tank comes to Redwood County
through the activity of William Dun
can Jr. chairman of Redwood Coun-
tvs Victory Loan Association and the
Monday celebration is the first gun
fired in the County Bond Sale. The
Tank arrives at Redwood Falls over
the G. & N. w. r. r. on the morn
ing train and will be escorted in the
parade by all the soldiers, by Red
Cross workers and the Scenic City
Band. There will be a demonstra-
ton of the Whippet through the af-
ternoon until the four-thirty train up
on which it will leave for Sanborn
where it will be shown Tuesday morn
ing, going from there to Lamberton,
according to the latest plan, Tuesday
afternoon. The Tank is completely
camouflaged and equipped and manned
by two actual service men.
Evening Meeting.
The evening program at the armory
promises to be one of great interest.
Lieutenant Dolan of Milroy who spent
several months in overseas service
and was among the American lads
wounded at Chateau Theirry, will tell
his experiences and those of his fel-
low; soldiers. Mr. Dolans is not pro-
fessional orator and makes no pretense
of an orthodox speech. But he gives
his audience something infinitely bet
ter. the Straightforward heart talk
of an American boy who went into
the fight for decency, ready to make
the great sacrifice-the sacrifice
which he saw many of his comrades
make. Lieutenant Dolan has told his
story of the battlefields in several
sections of Redwood County and has
held his audiences most careful atten-
tion throughout the talk. Now Red
wood Falls is to be granted the privi-
lege of hearing him and of learning
from him why the coming Victory
Bond Sale is just and righteous one.
NJ. j. Bowling, known throughout
the United States as mike" Bowling,
needs no introduction to a Redwood
Falls audience which is always eager
to hear his message of courage, and
privilege and opportunity of which he
is the living mplification. 1t may
be well to state however, that Mike re-
Gently made practice speech in the
New York Hippodrome at the New
York Red Cross meeting for returned
soldiers, and now figures that he is a
little more competent than ever to ad-
dress a Redwood Falls audience Ev-
eryone is earnestly invited to come
to the Armory Monday evening and
in the Community Sing which is to DE
another feature of the evening meet
ing.
The Parade
Tentative arrangements have been
made for the parade. These may be
changed later but present plans are
that the parade will start from the
Northwestern depot at eleven o'clock,
march north on Lincoln ST.. to Fifth
Street. west to Mill Street, north to
Second Street, east to Washington
Street, to the courthouse. In its for
nation will be the Veterans of the
World War, The G. A. r., the Red
Cross and other societies led by the
Scenic City Band. The entire pro-
cession will be led by the Tank and will
be in charge of mounted officers of
the Army.
Lunch at Noon.
All men in uniform will be served a
nooday luncheon, free of charge at
the Methodist church, Monday. This
luncheon will be furnished by the Red
Cross branch of Redwood Falls and
soldiers coming here to assist in the
parade are urged to come to the church
and get their dinner The Red Cross
will further show that its interest in
the soldiers is not waning by erection
of a large arch of welcome which will
be very evident by next Monday.
Every business man and houseown-
err is requested to hang out all the
flags it is possible to get hold of for
the occasion and to make the city
flaunt the country's colors as it has
never Haunted them before. Each sci-
tizen should feel his personal respon-
sibility in making the day big sue
cess and should give his most generous
assistance.
