Class Play Was
Brilliant Success
PEACEFUL VALLEY" WAS VEL
COINED BY A LARGE AP-
PRECIATIVE AUDIENCE

It has been many years since the
Armory has been so crowded as it
was last Wednesday evening when the
Senior Glass of the. Redwood Falls
high school presented their play
Peaceful Valley" This play has a
national reputation as classic and
teens with intense dramatic moments.
Although it is play that requires
much thought and painstaking effort
to bring. out the striking features
and the play of human emotions, the
local cast did remarkably well in por-
trayel and dramatic effect.
Fred Melges, who was the top-liner
in the play, had very difficult part to
immitate, but he did it exceedingly
well and to the qualification of the
large audience present. Helen Sar-
chet, as Virgie Rand, also played her
role with much feeling and effect.
In fact the entire cast are to be
congratulated on the clever manner in
which they handled their parts. The
play demonstrated that the partici-
pants were keenly interested in their
parts and had given the subject much
careful attention.
The excellent music for this occasion

NUAL PICNIC AT RAMSEY
STATE PARK.

The Knights of Columbus picnic en-
joyed annually during the summer
months by members of st. Patrick
council of this city and neighboring
cities and villages, will be held this
year at Ramsey State park at Red
wood Falls. The date of the affair has
not yet been selected. This is one of
the beauty spots of this part of the
state and the Redwood Falls knights
offered their services to make the af-
fair complete success. In former
years the annual picnic has always
been held in or near this city, but this
year the members can travel to Red

DIR. C. A. PROSSER, DIRECTOR OF
DUNWoODY INSTITUTE
DELIVER ADDRESS.

The commencement exercises held
at the Redwood Falls Armory was
very largely attended, and the excel
lent program was carried out to
successful conclusion. The front of
the stage was decorated in purple and
white, being the senior class colors,
and the high school orchestra furnish
ed the music.
There were thirty-two graduates to
receive diplomas this year at the
hands of DR.. A. Asleson, president of
the board of education. Six of these
were normal class graduates. Of the
thirty-two, twenty-five were girls and
seven were boys. This indicates that
the girls this year were more keener
for an education than the boys.
Miss Vida Jean McNaughton deliv-
cred the valedictorian address, and
her theme was Armenia. She hand
died the subject in an excellent manner
and her talk showed that she had Civ
en- the matter an exhaustive study.
| In fact, she gave complete des-
cription of the. war-harrassed and
much prosecuted Armenians, and no
doubt her hearers gained much useful
! information of a country that is the
sporting ground of the brutal Turkish
| government.
Superintendent Hargis then intro
! duced DR.. C.. A. Prosser, director of
| Dunwoody Institute, who made the
principal address of the evening. DR..
Prosser is a brilliant talker and his
speech was listened to with profound
attention by the graduates and the au-
dience. He spoke at considerable
length on the fact that youth will be
served" and said that these gradu-
ates would soon step to the front and
demand their place in the economical
affairs of the government, thus shap-
ing the destines of the future genera
tions to come.
DIR. Prosser then dwelt on some of
the vexing problems of today and
showed how tolerence and intoller-
ence were causing a wide divergence
of opinion. He advised the class to
be tolerant of the views of others,
! that all were seeking the same goal
he then paid his respects to the radi-
cal socialists who are trying to wreck
our government. He traced socialism
on down through the vicessitudes of
history and remarked that every
scheme yet devised by the socialists
has crumbled to ruin, that their
dreams was only mirage, mental
delusion.
Supt Hargis awarded the honors of
. the class and took pleasure in congrat-
ulating Vida Jean McNaughton and
Earl John Scott as the two honor stu
dents to receive a free scholarship.
Merit alone counts in the disposal of
these honors, and it is evident that
these two young people made the
, most of their high school opportunities
and owe this distinguished honor to
their own individual efforts. Miss
McNaughton is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. David McNaughton Of this
city and Earl John SCOTS parents re-
side near Delhi.
! The Normal Class graduates are
! Thelma Cain, Gertrude Owen, Martha
: Price, Inez Root, Gerene Weber and
carrie Wilcox.

Republican Voters
Should Get Busy
MUST VOTE AT PRIMARIES FOR
CONGRESSMAN OF THE
SECOND DISTRICT

There is a feeling abroad in the
Second Congressional District that the
matter of choosing republican candi-
date FOR Congressman has already
been settled and that there will be no
choice at the Primary election June 81.
This opinion is very apt to play havoc
with the Republican organization. So
far as the choosing of REAL repub-
lican is concerned, that was done in
the selection of Judge Frank CIague
of Redwood Falls. But nonpartisan
Lacquer, under the guise Of the Repub-
lican party also hopes to land the nom
ination, and as a result there is joy in
the Townley ranks that the misun-
derstanding exists as it does in this
district. Hopeful that the voters will
not be led to believe that there is but
one candidate in the field, is the rea-
son for the Herald bringing this fact
to the attention Of it's readers at this
time. There is but one thing to do
and that is to muster every single re-
publican vote possible in behalf of Mr..
Clague, for only by so doing can real
Republican be declared the choice of
the primary.-Rock City Herald.

Biz Work Tournament
at Ramsey State Park
DIT WILL BE HELD NEXT THURS
DAY, AND EVERYBODY
COME.

We have been informed by Mr..
Hitchcock Of the Ramsey Park COM
,mittee that next Thursday everybody
is invited to come to Ramsey State
Park and help clear away the brush in
the tract that was recently purchased.
You should bring along working tools
such as axes, spades, shovels and rakes
and also bring along little pep. This
is going to be general cleanup day
and it is to be hoped that there will be
good attendance.
The reason the public is invited to
help do this work is because the park
funds are exhausted. In order to
make these grounds presentable it is
necessary to build roadways and clean
out the brush. When this is done it
will make one Of the finest camping
and picnic grounds in the state.
ALI those intending to help IN this
laudable enterprise should bring their
implements to the armory, and autos
will convey you to the seen of opera
tions. In fact there will be continu-
Gus auto service to and from the park
The boy scouts will be on hand incase
you get lost in the wilderness and
guide you back to your work.
When the new tract has been put in
order we would suggest that the park
committee extend a general invitation
to the people of the county to visit
the new addition some time in July
This could be called Opening Day
and celebrate the occasion with a big
picnic, the park committee to furnish
| k,r 1e nf 10
could be done very easily and at little
expense, and it would attract the peo
pie of the country to the possibilities
of the new addition as a camping
ground for an outing. The band coult
be on hand and everybody could have
a get-together meeting.
However, don't forget the big clean
up day next Thursday and come pre-
pared to put in some hard licks fo1
the general welfare.

COMEDY OF OUR AMERI-
CAN LIFE.

The efforts of the local post of the
American Legion in securing date
for the local presentation of "Jim's
Girl" comedy of American life, have
been crowned with success, and the
statement is made that this well
known character comedy, which has all
the human elements of "Turn to the
Right" will positively be seen at the
Armory Theatre, June II and 12, un-
der the auspices of Post No. 38
The final arrangements were consum-
mated yesterday and the local men,
bers are going ahead with their plans
toward making the engagement huge
success. Reports from nearby. cities
as well as those from a great dis
tance are all highly enthusiastic in
the praise given this play as well as
the individual members of the COM
pany.
Mr.. R. M. Rieser, Post Commander
of Post 65, Superior, Wis, has written
q letter to comrades in which he says
il part: "Jim's Girl" played under our
auspices and the production was COM
plete in every detail. We realized a
GOOD sum from the sale of tickets
Our comrades may benefit in the same
way that we did. This timely comedy
was the talk of the town the morning
after the first performance and we
filled the theatre throughout the re-
n1ainder of the week with little eff
fort"

Saturday Blaze
Quickly Put Out
FIREMEN Do TOP-NOTCHNWoRK
AND ExTINGUIsH FIRE
IN TEN MINUTES.

The fire siren sounded last Satu--
day afternoon at twenty minutes past
twelve and at half past twelve the
firemen had the blaze extinguished
and started on the return trip 10 the
city hall. Some quick work.
The fire started in the drying room
at the Redwood Falls Laundry, and
was first noticed by Mrs. Brown who
saw smoke issuing therefrom. The
drying room contained about nine suits
Of mems and ladies ready-to-wear and
these were total loss. No damage
was done outside of the drying room.
The room was heated by steam and
the fire was caused by over heating
Chief Corbett and his men certain
ly did quick work in responding and
getting the fire under control. We
would call this 100 per cent efficiency
and the boys are deserving of a vote
of thanks.

oMOTION PICTURE SHOWN AT
THE NEW DREAM THEATRE
SATURDAY NIGHT.

The last vestige of doubt that A.
c. Townley, president of the Non-par-
tisan League, is duping the Northwest
farmers, was removed through the
showing of the one real motion picture
There's Millions In IT. which reveal
ed the gigantic scheme Townley has
put in operation to obtain money from
the members of his Nonpartisan Lea
que. The picture, which dealt with
Townley's Consumers United Stores
project was shown at the Dream The
atre Saturday night before a large
audience.
1t showed Townley in need. of mil
lions of dollars to carry on his cam
paign to seize control of the State of
Minnesota. With the funds in the
treasury of the Nonpartisan League
at low ebb, Townley has become des-
perate. He finally hits upon a plan,
as follows: To organize Consumers
United Stores in cities and towns
through out the Northwest, and to
make them cooperative. Wherever
store is to be formed a minimum of
two hundred farmers in the communi-
ty must subscribe 800 each to the
support of the store. They get no
stock in the local store nor in the
parent company. By paying 500 they
get nothing but the privilege of buy
ing at the store where they are pro-
missed goods at cost, plus freight and
a profit of 10 per cent.
The membership to a single store
is not limited to 200; in fact it has
reached as high as 600 members. With

land took very active part in athle-
tics at the high school, and his gener-
Gus nature always caused him to help
/ his fellows In school he was excep-
tionally studious and stood high in
his class. His companions say that
Roland was always up-to-the- minute
in his studies and gave every promise
| of bright young man.

sociation on permanent basis, a
meeting for that purpose will be held

on hand to invite buyers from Chicago
and elsewhere.
