Legion Makes
Plans for Year
MELVIN DASKAM POST TO HAVE
QUARTERS. IN ARMORY AN
NUAL DUES FIXED.

Al meeting of the members of the
Melvin Daskam Post No. 38 Of the
American Legion was held early in
December to make plans for the COM
ing year. At this meeting it was de-
cided that the first need of the Post
was to find suitable rooms and The
club rooms in the armory were Sc
cured at a cost of $500 per year
These rooms must be properly fur
nished and the committee appointed to
ascertain the cost Of furnishing ed.i-
mate it at 100000. It is the inten7
tion of the club also to purchase a
certain amount of athletic equipment
and $500 is estimated as the cost of
this.
In addition to these expenses Incl
dental to the fixing of the club rooms
the Post must pay to the state and
nal ional organization of the Ameri-
can Legion $1.25 for each of its mem
bers. The expenses of the Post,
therefore, for the ensuing year, ag-
gregate about $1,000.
The unanimous opinion of the mem
bers present at the meeting, which
was a very representative assembly,
was that sufficient dues to cover
this expenditure should be levied upon
the members and that six dollars per
member should be paid. However, in
order that every member may be Civ
en- an opportunity to express his OPP
inion, ballot is being mailed to each
member upon which he cab indicate
his wish in the matter.
Should these tentative plans be
carried out the Post will have very
comfortable and commodious home
and the members will be repaid many
times over for the small sum requir-
ed of each. They will have Home
where they can get together, enjoy
athletic sports as we'll as social time
and have all the other advantages of
a club home. The dues suggested are
small in proportion to the benefits
to be received.

Riddles viii
Give Cantata
SEVENTY FIVE PUBLIC SCHOOL
CHILDREN IN CAST OF SANTA
CLAUS AND FRIENDS.
ARMoRY THURSDAY EVENING
HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA WILL
PLAY AND SANTA IS PROV
ED NON FRAUDULENT.

Seventy five school children of Red
wood Falls will appear in the Christ
mas cantata, Santa Claus and His
Friends" at the Armory, Thursday ev-
eniIg, beginning promptly at eight
o'clock.
The cantata is a picturesque lit lie
presentation, given IN costume and It's
sole purpose is to prove that San a
Claus is not a fraud as is intin1ated
by detective who appears in the
very first scene announcing that San
ia is an unworthy character and that
he IS out to catch the rogue. To
fur her the cause, the detective writes
a letter to all the nurses of the city
stating that Santa is i'll. This cre-
ates quite bit of excitement among.
all the children until DR.. Bills quiets
their fears. In end end Santa arrives
with his usual promptness, laughs at
their fears and everybody lives hap
py ever after-or at least all through
the Christmas and Santa Claus season.
The cantata is directed by Miss
Smith of the public school teaching
corps, and the music will be furnish
ed by the High School orchestra un-
der the direction of George Bittrich,
director
"A nominal fee of ten cents will be
charged for admission and this sum
will be used to defray expenses. The
children cordially invite everybody TO
attend their play and to catch the
Christmas spirit which it imparts.
The public is earnestly invited o be
prompt in arriving at the a11nory. in
order that everyone may be seated and
quiet when the curtain goes up at
eight o'clock. La e arrivals will SER
iously interfere with effective work
.on the part of the children.

shown clearly that Mr.. Treu's faith
in the cast has not been misplaced and
that the presentation is going to be
the big success its promoters hope it
ito be.

centers are taken by j. w. NeimaD

one the beginning will be promptly at

of considerable satisfao ion to his
many admirers who for some time
wanted to see hinl--in the country's
service at Washington.
Judge Frank Clague will resign as
Judge of the ninth judicial district
about January first, and will file as a
republican candidate for congress of
the second congfessionl district, com
prising thirteen counties in southwest,
ern Minnesota. The present incum-
bent, f. r. Ellsworth, has definitely
announced that he will not be can
didate under any circumstances, and
expects to file as candidate for gov
ernOr.
Judge Clague was elected as. judge
kat the general election in 1918, and
assumed his office in January 1919.
The court work in the ninth judicial
distrid1- has been especially heavy dur
ing the past year. When the last leg
islature was in session, an attempt
was made to add The county Of Pipe
stone to The district and provide for
two Judges, but the measure was IN
troduced late in the session and failed
of passage, Judge Clague has given
his undivided attention to the work,
and has administered The office in a
fair and impartial manner, which is a
credit to himself and the people. The
Judge feels that he can render service
to the people of the district as their
representa- i've in Congress and has
thrown his hat in the ring.
Judge Clague has an intimate
knowledge of the needs of the district
and state. He served for a number of
years as representative of Redwood
coun v in the legislature and became
speaker of the House in 1905. He
was then elected Senatorsof Brown and
Redwood counties, and held the ini-
portant position of chairman of the
appropriations committee, which put
him in iis innate touch with the differ,
ent branches of state government.
Judge Clague has been mentioned
for congress during the past six
months and has had the matter under
consideration for some time and has
now definitely decided To-, enter the
race and put up an aggressive cam
paign shortly. !,
ct is expected that the resignation
of Judge Clague will be effective Feb
ruary first, when Governor Burnquist
will be called upon to appoint a sue
cessor. In this connection it can be
stated that many members. of the bar
in the district seem to favor the ap,
pointment of I. NJ. Olsen. former Judge
He is wellfit for he high po-
sition, on account of his experience
and temperament. If Judge Olsen
should decide to become a candidate,
he will probably be appointed by the
governor"
