This week marks the retirement of
A. j. Chamberlain from active busi-
ness in favor of his son and partner,
George H. Chamberlain who becomes
owner and proprietor of the Cash and
Garry grocery. The retirement of Mr..
Chamberlain marks the completion of
a quarter of century which has been
devoted to the service of the trading
public of Marshall and vicinity, and
forty years spent in the grocery busi-
ness. When Mr. Chamberlain first
came to- Marshall he purchased the
business Of Joseph Addison, which he
sold after seven years and purchased
the Frank Parker grocery which he
conducted for three years. His store
was established in It's present location
in the Messenger block in 1909, where
he has since conducted model cash
grocery in company with his son,
George. The new proprietor of the
Cash and Garry store needs no intro
ductior. He is teeming with ideas
and energy and will give this city a
distinctive service. For his ideas in
connection with the future of the bus
mess readers are referred to his in
teresting announcement elsewhere in
permanent and has the rare faculty of
embellishing his business with art.
Quoting from his philosophy, he says
IN selling prunes one may win salts
fed customers; these customers be-
come friends, and friends are ones
greatest riches Marshall Messenger.

County Ready
to Do Share
REDWOOD COUNTY STARTS OF
FINAL WORK OF EUROPEAN
RELIEF.
MANY WILLING TO HELP.
HERBERT HOOVER'S MESSAGE
TO AMERICA WINS
RESPONSE.

Redwood County is now largely or
ganized for the final collection of
funds for the work of European Relief,
the relief which is to save the lives
of thousands of starving children in
Central and Eastern Europe. The
committee of three appointed to take
charge of the work has gotten in
touch with residents Of the various
parts of the county and a warm re-
sponse is made on the part of most of
them, to the urgent call for funds for
this work. Since Herbert Hoover has
stated so emphatically the necessity of
funds if the lives of these children are
to be saved, his countrymen are rail-
lying splendidly to the call and there
is little reason to believe that Mime
sofa will not reach the goal she has
set herself of $500,000 for his relief
work.
In each community of the county,
regular workers have the campaign in
charge and will make themselves and
their cause known to the people. How
ever there have already been a number
of interested persons who have left
their checks with w. G. Weldon, who
is member of the committee at his
office at the courthouse. While sums
OF any size are acceptable, there seems
to be preference, on the part of
those giving to the cause, for the In
visible Guest Certificates which are
sold at ten dollars each. These GER
tificates indicate that the purchaser
has given this amount of money to
entertain one "Invisible Guest" until
Europe shall be able to reap another
crop, Mr.. Hoover stating that ten dol
lars, carefully expended, would keep
a child from starving until that time
Many persons of means are purchas-
ing these certificates by the hundreds.
1t is the intention of those conduct
ing the campaign to have it completed
within a very short time, and any one
or any community who is going to
help is asked to act quickly. In some
localities various means have been tax
en- to raise funds for the purpose, the
dinners in imitation of Mr.. Hoover's
famous thousand dollar dinner" being
one means, and the inauguration of
lunchless or dinnerless days being us
ed with very good results in other
localities. It is probable that one or
more of these plans will be tried out
in each locality of Redwood County
and the public is earnestly requested
to give such event all the patronage
and support possible. The county has
been allotted no certain amount, but
if the state is to raise it's self allotted
amount, each resident of Redwood
County must be represented, in the to-
tai collection, by thirty cents. All
former collections made through
church collections or to the Literary
Digest Food Fund will eventually Be
credited to the generosity of the coun-
ty by the various boards and commit
tees by which they have been received.

Make Your Old
Clothes Work
USED CLOTHING SOUGHT FOR
EUROPEAN SUFFERERS. AC-
TION MUST BE IMMEDIATE.

With the full approval of Herbert
Hoover who is conducting the national
campaign for the starving children OF
Europe, The Minneapolis Daily News
is conducting campaign for the col
lection Of used clothing to be sent to
the sufferers. Distribution is to be
made through the American Friends
Auxiliary, 16 South Eighth Street
Minneapolis.
All sorts of clothing is needed, but
especially warm underwear, coats,
dresses, shoes and stockings for boys
and girls of all ages, and for women
II you have bedding to spare, send il
in.
Be sure that your contribution is in
good shape before sending. It takes
but little time to mend and sew on
buttons and it is a great help to the
Friends Auxiliary.
Out-of-town contributors are eau
toned to wrap parcels more securely
Five bundles were received yesterday
with wrappers so badly torn that
names and locations were undecipher-
able and there is danger of loss as
well. Be sure to prepay postage OF

splendid collection of baby garments
appeared. But there is need fo1
more, when such object want as the
following is known.
Babies are sent home from the hos
pitals, says a returned worker, wrap
ped in old newspapers for warmth, the
hospital supplies being completely
lacking. These children, whose bo-
dies are misshapen from lack of nour-
ishment and whose faces have lost the
look of childhood, are said to be re-
.narkable children. They are attrac-
tive, lovable and Of more than ordina-
ry intelligence. By far the larger pro-
portion are said to be of excellent
birth. It must be remembered that
many Of them are without homes, par
ents or any human ties, so far as may
be known. They are little derelicts
upon the sea of a vast desolation, de-
pendant upon the winds of chance
kindness for harbor of any sort.
1t is want such as this that your
contribution of warm clothing will re

Sheriff Kise of Redwood Falls, was
in town several days the past week on
business connected with his office. 1t
appears that during the past few
months various and sundry articles of
more or less value have mysteriously
disappeared and the owners thereof
allege that some Of the young fellows
about town may know something of
there whereabouts. Considerable COM
plant has been made during the past
summer that some person or persons
with little regard for property rights
has been making a practice of ap-
propriating to their own use other
peoples property and it seems that the
officers are now certain of finding out
the guilty parties Belview Indepen-

Silver Cups Given
At Poultry Show
FEB. I'll DATE OF BIGGEST RED
WOOD COUNTY POULTRY
SHOW AT MORGAN.

The third annual exhibition of the
Redwood County Poultry association
to be held in Morgan from February
7th to 11th will eclipse the former ex-
hibitions by far. The dates had no
sooner been set than inquiries about
the show and requests for premium
booklets were received by the secre-
tary, and keen interest is being mani
tested by former exhibitors. Larger
exhibits of every variety are now a
foregoing conclusion.
in addition to the three silver low
ing cups offered last year there will
be four new ones this year, making a
total of seven awards which will be
greatly priced by poultry fanciers and
give the winners advertising that is
beyond purchase price.
The firms offering the cups are the
Farmers & Merchants State Bank of
Morgan, State Bank of Morgan, The
Big Store, Inc. and the Morgan De-
partment Store, and three firms at
Redwood Falls, Hubbard Davis Co.,
Asleson & Hillig and State Bank of
Redwood Falls. Only three of the
cups are limited to Redwood county
breeders.
These awards of course are in addi-
tion to about $500 in cash prizes Of
fered by the Poultry association and
a number of other special premiums.
The premium books will be ready
for mailing in few days, and the
rules and regulations and awards are
on the same basis as last year.
A, T. Langworthy Of Dodge Cen
ter will he the official i11dga ara in
this year.
The Redwood County Poultry asso-
citation is now life member of the
American Poultry Breeders associa-
tion and awards will carry all the
prestige that it is possible for the as
.sociation to give.
President jackson and Secretary
Treu anticipate that the exhibit will
be about fifty per cent larger than
last year.-Morgan Messenger.

Concert Company
Fails to Appear
RICH -WERNO TO GIVE PROGRAM
AT SOME DATE IN
FEBRUARY.

The Rich Werno Company, which
was scheduled to appear in con-
cert program at the Redwood Falls
Armory last Friday evening, failed to
appear, through some confusion OF
dates between the local committee and
the Redpath Lyceum Bureau from
which the lecture course talent is OBJ
tanned. However the Redpath people
have signified their intention to "make
good" on this number and it is quite
probable that the company will appear
here February 18 which was the date
originally set for its appearance. AS
this is undoubtedly one of the finest
numbers Of the course, patrons will
be pleased to know that there is an
assurance that it will be heard. The
adjustment will be arranged entirely
to the credit of the Redpath Bureau
which thus sustains the excellent repu-
tation it has made in the handling of
talent to the complete satisfaction of
the public.
A representative of the Redpath
Bureau was in Redwood Falls, Satur-
day and contracted with the local COM
nittee for the talent to give the 1921
% course for Redwood Falls. The
course thus far this season has been so
satisfactory that the committee feels
justified in securing material fer next
years course from the same source.
The committee consists of S. G.. Har-
gis, Mrs. A. Carr, DR.. j. w. Inglis,
Max R. H. Treu, Mrs. T. E. Finn,
Mrs. A. C. Dolliff, Mrs. G.. A. Jaehn-
ing and Rev. B. L. Main and Mrs. B.

Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor, member
of the Washington rent commission
through appointment by President
Wilson, has proposed that congress
levy a tax on bachelors, pointing out
that the United States has approx
mately 100000 bachelors, more than
any other country in the world. Mrs.
Taylor estimates such a tax would
yield $20,000,000 year. Mrs. Taylor
would have the tax range from one
dollar to five dollar a year for each
unattached male, according to age.

The Morgan high school boys and
girls basket ball teams motored to
Redwood Falls Friday evening when
they played the high school teams of
that place. They got away with 80
so break The girls won and the boys
didn't The girls game was close en-
ough to be exciting for while Morgan
had sufficient lead for ordinary pur-
poses you can never tell about these
affairs, don't you know. The final
score was 7 to H. This is the Nor
gan's girls seventh straight victory, a
clean slate for the season. The boys
didn't fare so WELL To make long
story short they got beat SO to 8. One
of the features was that brothers op-
posed one another in this friendly con-
test. Lyle Jackson played forward
for Redwood Falls and was guarded
by his brother Quenten who is one OF
Morgan's new regulars. Both boys
played a good game. After the con-
tests the Morgan folks were given a
reception by the Redwood Falls school,
The Redwoodites proved to be fine
hosts. An enjoyable luncheon was
served and good social time was
had. These social affairs tend to ere
ate fraternal feeling between the
schools and help to smooth over any
sore spots, too, although it should be
said there were none to smooth over
in these games. Morgan Messenger.
