Lecture Postponed
Till Thursday Eve

Owing to the death of the wife of
Mr.. George Click, who was to appear
as the lecturer of the fourth number
of the Lyceum Course, the program
has been changed to Thursday even
ing, March 25.
As a result of this change in the
course, the local committee has been
exceptionally fortunate in securing
Chief Justice Bruce, formerly of North
Dakota to fill the vacancy. Justice
Bruce was the man who resigned his
position as chief justice because OF
the doing of the Non Partisans in that
state. He has great message and
the person who fails to hear Justice
Bruce loses a great opportunity to
hear a real great man.
In speaking of Justice Bruce, Judge
Clague in part said, .Mr. Bruce IS a
great man and a very good speaker
i am sure that the people of the COM
munity will greatly appreciate him.

Keep Identifi-
cation Cards

Former service men, holders of I'm
Gle Sans War Risk Insurance, have
received from the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance an Identification card bear
ing their name and insurance number,
for ready reference, such as they car-
ried while in the service, states Direc-
tor R. G. Cholmeley Jones of the Bu-
reau.
This card will enable the men to
give their correct insurance number
when communicating with the Bureau
OF War Risk Insurance, and also
serves for Identification in case of
sickness or accident.
Many of these cards are being re-
turned to the Bureau by former SER
vice men instead of being retained.
The Director requests all former SER
wee men who received these identifi-
cation cards to keep them.

Again
In Race for Gov.
CONGRESSMAN ANNOUNCES
PLATFORM FAVORING TON
MAGE TAX, PROHIBITION
AMENDMENT.

Congressman F. f. Ellsworth of
Mankato got back into the republican
race for governor after brief abb
sence He announced his candidacy
in a statement issued at Mankato, and
once more is a free lance candidate.
After several months of negotiating
with A. G.. Townley and the Nonparti-
san league, he Withdrew recently as
candidate for governor and made
statement attacking Townley. The
second phase of his campaign is ex-
pected to develop considerable trouble
for his former friends.
Tonnage, Townley, temperance and
taxation will be the theme of his
campaign, Mr.. Ellsworth said. He
made no other reference to his rela-
tions with the Nonpartisan league,
but is expected to make some interest
ing disclosure soon. He says he will
make an automobile campaign of the
state and speak from street corners.
In previous statements, Mr.. Ellis
worth has refused to go before the
proposed republican convention, which
is to agree on candidate to unite
republicans opposed to the Townley
| league. He said, when he withdrew
| from the race recently, that it was
desirable to have the race narrowed
down to two candidates, so as to make
| the issues clear. His return as a can
didate means that the contest will be
at least three cornered.
The Townley candidate for COVER
nor is to be picked this week in st.
Paul. The state convention of the
Nonpartisan league will meet Wednes-
day and Thursday, and at the same
time there will be labor convention,
under the name of the Working Peo-
pie Nonpartisan Political league. The
/ two conventions viii meeting separ-
ately, both behind closed doors, and
will keep in touch through confer
ence committees, which will agree on
! a state ticket to be ratified by both
sides, as two years ago.

enlisted during the war, but the old
customs as well. 1t has been the Gus

hindered by the loss of men.
Last Saturday night, at six-thirty
in the reception hall of the High
School, the football and basket ball
teams of 1919-20 were given the most
splendid banquet ever given the teams
Of old Redwood High. The banquet
was given by the high school, under
the auspices of the Girls Club and
members of the faculty.
The table, on which covers We're
laid for twenty-eight, was placed in
the east lower half. 1t was decorat-
ed with beautiful bouquets of red and
white carnations; the high school coll
ors; candelabras containing red and
white candles; and nut baskets of
red and white. This color scheme was
used throughout the hall was decorate
ed with red and white streamers; over
the center of the table, hung the bas-

Mission Y Society
Holds Meeting
GOOD REPORTS RECEIVED AND
SEVERAi1 INTERESTING
TALKS PRESENTED.

The Presbyterian Missionary Socie-
ty met at the home of Mrs. c.. D.
Thompson last Wednesday afternoon
with large attendance.
The Devotionals were led by Mrs.
Sarchet, and after the conclusion of
the business an interesting program
was given.
Mrs. Dollifs told Of the great task
confronting the churches of Ameri-
ca in the work of Americanization,
theme Whicl is giving much concern
to our Government and to all those
agencies and people who realize a
quickened effort towards National
Unity.
n IThis was followed by a most in
i Sresting reading by Mrs. Bell under
lie title Americas Debt to the Immi-
grant which brought out very clearly
our Indebtedness to the immigrant
and what great asset he is in the
upbuilding of our country, coming as
the majority Of them do, with the pur-
est motives and highest ideals.
A most interesting letter from Mr..
Jobusch, former Pastor, was read
by Mrs. Japs giving an account of his
great field of work and of the many
changes taking place since the war.
Instead of employing immigrant
teachers to teach the foreigners, they
now employ only American teachers
and compel them to use the Ameri-
can language or they refuse
to give them naturalization papers.
Hundreds of men are leaving this
country who refuse to learn English
and become naturalized. Labor is very
scarce and manufacturing concerns
are paying almost any price for un-
skilled labor. Teachers have received
four raises during the past year. The
minimum salary for a teacher is S125
per month.
In telling of the changes caused by
prohibition, Mr.. Jobusch says "Prohi-
bition is doing wonders for the immi-
grant and lumber jack. Many men
\, both young and old who were Ameri-
sAsan born worked in the lumber camps
sely for the excitement of drink
and gambling. This is all ancient
! ,v,lstory now. The local court docket
was full here all the time, whereas
now noN case has been tried of any
kind, excepting four blind piggers who
skipped their bond, since the new year.
The usual quarrels and back alley
fights kept six lawyers in funds are
all past. Some of these lawyers are
worrying and getting thin as there is
nothing for them to do. have three
lawyers in my church, two of them
bought new homes and can hardly
meet their payments, though former
ly in good circumstances"
A pleasant social hour was spent
at the close of the program and re.
freshments were served by mesdames

Stensvad, w. Collins and Alexander

The Palace Store
Gives Banquet

Following its usual custom in the
past the Palace Store gave banquet
last Wednesday evening at Hotel
Ramsey to their employees and their
families. The banquet consisted of
four courses and was keenly enjoyed.
The table was lastly arranged, and
while dining the guests were enter
tanned with musical selections. After
the banquet the diners were invited
to the Dream Theatre, where an en-
joyable hour was spent. This is a
very good idea of the Gales Country
man company in giving their employ
ers a treat of this nature, as it estab-
fishes closer business relations and
creates harmonious feeling of good
fellowship. Undoubtedly this fine ex-
ample win be duplicated by other bus,
mess firms.
