DANGEROUS JOKES.


In the category of practical jokes
there are several that ought to be
strictly taboo. They are the staged
holdup, the fake police raid, the
stunt of the swimmer who pretends
he is drowning and that frequent
practice of inducing newspapers to
print a limited number of copies for
scandalous article. Nearly all soon
or late injure or plague the perpe-
traitors or persons whom they were
not intended to amuse.
The staged holdup causes men
sometirpes to resist the real desper-
ado; the fake police raid, when par
tiCipated in by real officers, dimin-
ishes public confidence in the sober
ness of law and in the industry of
the departments; the swimming joke
smith often causes rescuers to neg
lect these in real need Of assistance;
the humorously published scandal
frequently gets into the hands of
those by whom it was not intended
that it should be seen and is taken
seriously.

The practical joke is ever a dan

types of it that should be let relig-
iously alone by all stuntsters, for
their own future peace of mind.

emerson Store
Some Grocery"
REMODELED SCHLEUDER BUILD
ING MAKES SPLENDID AP-
PEARANCE AS MODEL
GROCERY.


McPherson's Grocery moved-well,
sometime between Saturday morning
and Monday morning, into its new
quarters in the old Schleuder build
ing on Second Street, and Monday was
doing a splendid business at its most
attractive new "stand" Mr.. McPher-
son has been in possession Of the
building only two weeks and it seems
like a miracle that IN so short a time
such a complete change could be made.
The appearance as one enters the door
is that of modern, up-to-the minute
city grocery, with good looking and
fresh looking stock that makes the
customer buy several things he had
no intention of buying-it is all so
attractive he just has to buy to see
that it is as good as it looks.
The interior of the store building
which measures 18 by IS feet, has
been entirely redecorated and now
presents dazzling face of glossy
white enamel. The spotless cleanli-
ness of the shop is one of it's most
attractive features. Modern fixtur-
es have been used and the cashiers
window mo6Eshly framed by mirrors,
occupies the center of the rear of the
store, facing the front That the
store is to be absolutely sanitary is
very evident when one looks into the
glass fronted refrigerator, the glass
enclosed show windows, the sink with
its running water for cleaning purpos-
es, and the stock and delivery room
at the rear which obviates any unpack-
ing or any delivery of packages from
the main part of the store.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcpherson have also
the artistic touch when it comes to ar
rangement and displaying their stock
attractively and the well filled fruit
stand at the front Of the shop, the
careful and discriminating arrange
ment of canned goods and the general
ensemble of the store all bear evidence
to this fact. These young people have
accomplished much in the line of their
work since their purchase of the A.
S. Kenney Grocery several weeks ago
and their new modern store building
is a splendid testimony of Their en-
terprise and industry. Their friends
are predicting very successful fu-
ture for them as merchants in Red
wood Falls.

Community Club
Assured To City
COMMUNITY SERVICE CLUB
GUARANTEED BY METHODIST.
CHURCH CONGREGATION
WILL OPEN SOON.
PUBLIC TO BE GREATLY BENE-
FITTED BY NEIGHBORHOOD
MOVEMENT.

Redwood Falls is to have a real,
genuine Community Service Club and
that in the very near future. This
was assured by the congregations at
the morning and evening services at
the Methodist Church Sunday and at
the New Avon Church at the afternoon
service. The head of every family IN
the New Avon congregation is sup
porting the movement financially and
the people of that church are most
enthusiastic concerning it. The resi-
dents of Redwood Falls are intensely
interested and sufficient funds were
assured Sunday to start the club IN
good faith.
AS recently stated from the pulpit
and in the press, the project is to have
q combined club room, rest room and
gymnasium where the men, women
and young people of Redwood Falls
and the adjacent territory may get
together for various purposes and at
any time. The Club is to be entirely
opened to the public which is invited
to enjoy its privileges without charge.
Supervision of the rest room will be
made by the women of the city who
will contribute their services and the
men Of the community will take turns
supervising the building during the
evening hours This club is especially
designed to fill the great need Red
wood Falls has for a gymnasium and
rest room, and every one, regardless
of his church affiliations or his lack
of them is to be made heartily well
come.
The matter of immediate expense
now faces the committee in charge of
the Club work. Equipment, furnish
ings and fittings must be purchased
in order that the club may start right
L. C. Backer has been made the trea-
surer of the committee and those sub
scribing funds are requested, if it is
convenient, to pay Mr.. Backer all or
a part Of the amount contributed to-
ward the Club. The entire yearly
subscription may be made in one pay
ment and this will greatly help the
committee to finance the Club in its
first stages when the expense is
heaviest.

Farmers Paid
For Wheat Taken
OWNERS REPAID FOR WHEAT
ARBITRARILY TAKEN BY
FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
From Sleepy Eye Dispatch.)

a8 Il OAGGPy fNA1J0 IA0pHVSAA'J
Al. D. Wilson of Minneapolis Chief
Food administrator Of this state, was
in Sleepy Eye last Tuesday in con-
ference with citizens and officers of
the local Red Cross, with reference to
the advisability of returning TO own
ers of wheat, the money exacted from
them by special agent WYE the
money turned over to the RED Cross
chapter. Mr.. Wilson stated that in
his opinion the money ought to be re-
turned for the reason that it had not
been legally obtained by due process
of law. It was the duty of the food
administration to see that all wheat
held by farmers be marketed at once
and that duty was accomplished, 1t
was also deemed wise to reconsider
their former action and return the
money to each farmer who turned IN
his wheat. At a meeting OF The off,
GERS of the Sleepy Eye Red Cross
Chapter. in which Mr.. Wilson was
present it was decided to recommend
The parent chapter and the National
Red Cross to return the funds, most
of which hss Nheen turned over to the
National orgafazaIion. The Spring
field Red Cross chapter is the parent
Chapter to the Sleepy Eye organlza-
ton and it will be taken up and decld-
ed on later. In the event that this
very unfortunate matter is adjusted
letters will be sent out to each farmer
and resident of the cities and villages
where food and grain was found, re-
n11esting these to call at the office OF
the agent of the Farm Bureau, and
secure check. Mr.. Wilson has APP
pointed George Berkner as chairman
Of committee to adjust the matter
to the satisfaction of thise interested
The food administration had found
that the acts of their representative
in confiscating the proceeds or their
GRAIN was q mistake and were wiling
| to rectify the matter, and hence the
visit of Mr.. Wilson. The settlement OF
this matter is much due to the efforts
| of the officers and directors OF the
Farm Bureau, who have felt that IN
view of the fact that the bureau offlce
was made the headquarters OF the
government agent during his stay here
| that they were in no way responsible
] for the very unfortunate incident.
Someone is responsible for the poicy
Of wheat CONSUMPTION as it was carried
out in many parts of the state and no
blame can be laid on local parIles.
During the time the government agent
was in Brown County, no criticism was
made to the propriety or the justice
of the action carried out by Mr.. we,
| for it was a government order and It
was no time to criticise or lind fault.
That the government made a mistake,
M one denies but now since the mat
ter IS to be settled, let the matter
drcp. We are all glad it will be set
tiled.

"The State Highway Commissioners
told me that If we would build six

half of the cost with the promise of
getting the amount the County paid

State COPS Like
Chairman Hays
YOUTHFUL CHAIRMAN OF Ma
TIONAL { COMMITTEE MAKES
HIT AT ST. PAUL MEETING
(From Sundays Pioneer Press.)

(From Sundays Pioneer Press.)
Will Hays, chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee, is being
heralded today by Minnesota Repub-
licans as the man who will organize
a Republican victory in the 1870
presidential campaign.
Up to yesterday Minnesota Repub-
licans had heard of Mr.. Hays as a
sort of "bcy wonder" in national pol
itics; as the man who had done some
sensational organization work in IN
diana: but they had never met him.
They had seen his picture in the news
papers and were not greatly impress
ed. He looked too young.
Then Mr.. Hays came to st. Paul and
Minneapolis in his breezy sort OF way.
He talked with the leaders; he made
two or three speeches. He was young
to be sure. but he talked and acted
like a man who knew his trade. He
radiated energy. He showed him
self to be a live wire And so it hap
pened that when the national chair
man left Friday night for Chicago,
after auditorium rally, there was not
dissenting voice among Republican
leaders in Minnesota that he is the
right man in the right place.
Taking No Chances.
The visit of Mr., Hays to Minnesota
at this time, full year and half
before the 1920 elections, means just
this: that the Republican national
committee intends to take no chances
IN this state going Democratic.
Minnesota never has been carried
bv q Democratic candidate for Pres1-
dent. but as Senator Frank b. kel-
Elogg. saws. it sIidded mighty close TO
| the brink in 1916, when Charles Il.
Hughes nosed out Woodrow Wilson
nv d bare 392 votes. That election
rave the Republican leaders bad
| fright. and they decided on that &C
count to begin organization work n
this state much earlier than has been
customary in the past.
There is another element In the po-
llitical situation in the Northwest
which decided Chairman Hays upon
his course Of action. Since 1915 the
Nonpartisan league has gained com
plete control Of North Dakota and Is
attempting to spread its domination
into Minnesota, South Dakota and
Eother states. It's success outside o.
North Dakota has been Indifferent
but it remains q menace. Organlza
ton, and that alone, it is felt, vii
prevent its spread.
