PLAY RECALLS 81
PLEASANT MEMORIES.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 20, 1920.
Prytzsald Myrtle, ,3sls s.5.#
Warren, MINI.
Dear friends M n.
Y IL It Is any satisfaction to know that
ones work and efforts are appreciated,
we want YOU folks to know that you
were responsible for the most enjoyable
evening that we have spent in the
cities. y
The occasion was this the Gallo
English Opera Co, put on "The Chimes
of Normandy" at the Metropolitan
Theater last evening and, of course, we
took it in. Say, it was more fun and
enjoyment to see this grand old opera.
then we can tell you in written words.
Every detail Of the play, was so very
interesting to uS and all because YOU
folks had drilled them into us so Faith.
fully. The best part of it all was, that
we are not too sure, just who put the
play on the best, our Warren Opera Co.
with Prytz and Myrtle as directors, or
the Gallo Co. But really, the play was
fine last evening, but we truly believe
that some Of our parts were put on
better, than they did, especially Jean
Grenicheux, the fisherman. =.
We're sure your efforts were well
spent that time we put the play on, for
we know that whenever any of our
bunch see this play, no matter where
they are, they'll enjoy it immensely and
always be reminded of Warren and you
folks. We couldn't help but think Of
the faithful Ella Lundgren, who so pa
tiently worked with us thru it all, and
say it was all a grand and glorious
feeling to hear all the old songs and
chorus, that are really beautiful.
Further, we know that no matter
how old we get, we'll always appreciate
this old Opera and will spend many
happy evenings hearing this opera as it
comes around from year to year; and
will also have the song records on the
Victrola to enjoy. It was surprising
how near like the real play we actually
put it on and how near like the cos,
tunes they wore, it even so happened
that the individuals taking the parts
were a good deal like the parties who
took the parts when we put it on, as
to tone of voice, size, etc, so it was
great to us. ,.. T..
So we blame this enjoyment all on tt
you. -. :, ~.%-;2 ,.E,<-:, H.. >s.>,

ONE OF OUR BEST
YOUNG men GONE
Bert Bartlett Passes Away
at Rochester Hospital,
Wednesday Morn

Our people were saddened We'd
nesday when the news came over
the wire to relatives that Bert
Bartlett had passed away at ten
O'Clock that morning at the hospi-
tai IN Rochester, Minnesota. He
has been in Rochester several
months, where he underwent three
operations for the relief of an afflic-
ton with which he has been troub-
led since he had the flu about two
years ago. The Rochester physi-
clans pronounced it cmpyema, and,
while his condition was serious it
was thought almost to the last that
he would recovor.
His wife was at his bedside most
OF the time while he was at the hos
pltal and had returned home only
last Saturday morning. When she
left there he was getting along
nicely and was able to be around
some. Saturday night at about
twelve O'Clock she received tele-
gram that he was very low, and
she, accompanied by her brother-in-
law, Harry Wiges, left for his bed
side Immediately, arriving there
two days before he passed away.
The remains were brought back
to his home north of town, arriv-
ing this morning. No funeral ar
rangements have been made yet,
awaiting word from his mother,
who is expected home Saturday.

WALTER F|SCUS KILLED
IN AUTO COLLISION
Car Turns Turtle when Dri-
ven into Machine that
Stopped in Road

His neck Froken, and his body
covered with cuts from flying glass,
Walter Fiscus, young farmer liv.
Ing west of Audubon in the vicinity
OF Flscus, was instantly killed Mon
day afternoon about 2 O clock when
he steered the Essex car in which
he and his brother were driving, di-
rectly into the front of an automo-
bile in the road north of town and
the machine turned over and over
with Flscus in the drivers seat.
1t is said the young man was
watching the flight of an airplane
overhead, and failed to notice the
automobile in the road.
The accident ccurred north of
town at the Willisen farm. The
three daughters of the Willisens
had driven their machine out thru
the driveway, and had stopped at
the right side of the road while one
of the girls returned to close the
gate into the farmyard. 1t was
then that the Fiscus brothers, re-
turning home from town, and driv-
ing north at good rate of speed
hit the Wlllisen car squarely, with
such force that the Essex described
several arcs in midair. The broth
er of the unfortunate man was
pitched out and but slightly bruised
When he and the Others rushed to
eXtricate Walter from the wreckage
life was extinct.
The girls in the Willisen car were
unhurt, and the only damage to the
machine was bent tenders, while the
Essex was SIN ashed to pieces.

age, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. EN-
met Flscus and he made his home
with his parents, who are promi-
nent and long time residents of

SOCIAL EVENT AT

ming at the home of the president,
A. A. Seibert.
Reports reaching this office indi-

wonderful time.
A brief musical program was fol-
lowed by a general discussion of
the proposition to provide vehicle
for the crystallization of public sem
timent and the discussion of timely
topics. AS a result of the discus
sion, the men determined to CON
duct a public forum once each
month, which will be made OF espe-
clal interest to the men of the COM
munlty IN the discussion of popular
themes, social hour and, of course,
a feed. These meetings are to be
held hereafter in the Methodist
church building and the first meet
ing is set for the first Thursday in
November.
MIR. and Mrs. Seibert proved
themselves excellent hosts, and the
luncheon spread for the men--oh
boy, what a feed! Fried chicken
salad, sandwiches, coffee, cherry pie
and plenty of it. 1t was almost
early before the guests departed but
everyone counted it an evening
we'll spent and will look forward
with great anticipation for the
next event on the first Thursday
night in November.

OUR WEATHER EYE
The Sitting Process

Given the facts concerning two
candidates for public office, it still
proves hard as a rule to reach a
decision between them. This is
especially true if we are really
open-minded and unbiased as all
good citizens should be when iudg-
ing their fellow men.
The Journal believes that MIR.
Ramsey is the logical choice for
secretary Of state. Its reasons are
two in number. The first is that
be has been proved thoroughly
capable and efficient in this office
under the most trying cmcumstan-
ces; and the second is that all
other candidates for positions on
the executive council are without
experience on that important
body and it seems advisable that
at least one old member should be
kept upon it.
For auditor of state, Mr.. Haynes
seems to be the better candidate.
His experience in the postal de-
partment should qualify him we'll
for the duties of this office. The
TACT that he has twice volunteered
in his country's service should be
construed strongly in his favor.
His high rank in the army stamps
rim as capable executive. And
there is the further fact that his OPP
poncnt seems not to care for the
office, which may mean that he
would not take much interest in
managing it if it came to hun.
Mr.. Craven, the democratic can
lldate, is apparently the better
candidate for state treasurer This
conclusion is based upon the CON
viction that there OUGHT to be at
least one farmer on the executive
council especially when land values
are to be revised for taxable pur-
poses, and he is the only farmer
candidate on the list. In fact, it
would be only fair if the executive
council included two farmers; but
since only one is running, it will
hardly do for the farmers to over
look him. 1t seems that the re-
publican party is open to serious
criticism at this point this year for
it has named list of candidates
for places on the executive council,
not one of whom is farmer.
The Journal invites its readers
10 check it up as to the conclusions
EXPIRE sed above. At any rate, it
is eminently proper that all should
decide now whom they will support
for these important offices as the
cases of other candidates will have
to be considered in rapid succession
later.
