The house on the Carl Battig
farm in Eden, rented by Ernest
Wederath, was burned to the
ground Saturday. The contents and
much of the wearing apparel of the
family were also destroyed. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wederath were away in town and
the children were left at home in care
of Mr.. Wederath's brother-in-law,
Peterson, a young man about 20 years
old. 1t is thought that the fire caught
up stairs from the stovepipe. The fire
spread rapidly, and after Mr.. Peterson
had gotten the four children out Of the
house it was so filed with smoke that
he was unable to save any household
goods. Morgan Messenger.

PreuS Tells
Where He Stands
WILL NOT BE CANDIDATE FOR
ANY OFFICE BUT
GOVERNORSHIP.

Governor J. A. O. Preus Monday an
nounced that he will be a candidate
before the state convention on March
81 for the governorship and not for
the United States senatorship.
I'm 1920 a state convention was
held for the purpose of nominating a
state ticket and adopting a platform
to defeat the Nonpartisan League .
the governor said. "That convention
selected me as candidate for gov
ernor to lead the fight.
''The privilege is rarely given to
any man to lead in such struggle
for principle and I deeply appreciate
the great confidence which the people
Of our beloved state reposed in me
by indorsing the actions of the con-
vention in the June primaries and the
November elections.
my name has frequently been
mentioned in connection with the
United States senatorship. Generous
as such remarks have been, they
have at no time been made with my
consent or approval. If l can be of
service to the people of Minnesota in
the next two years, l know It is in
the position of governor. Should /
pursue different course by running
for some other office, the good people
who have so favored and signally
honored me should rebuke me.
Il am, therefore, a candidate for
governor and no other office. Be it
always remembered when man in
public office looks first to his own
political advancement then to service
to the public, he is no longer useful
in public service. If my stewardship
has been faithful, my public acts
wise, hope that the convention to be
held on March 81 Tin ST. Paul. will
renominate me and in that event /
shall put forth my best endeavors to
win in the primaries and at the polls

QUAINT COSTUMES AND OLD
TIME ENTERTAINMENTS FEA-
TURE OF SOCIAL EVENING.

The members of the Twentieth Gen.
tury Club, the Women's Club and the
Equality Club enjoyed joint social
evening at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H. Gold Monday evening. The
guests came in old-time costumes
which proved quaint and alluring in
the softened light of the candles which
lighted the living rooms of the Gold
home. The entire evening was ar
ranged about The Past and proved de-
lightful to all those attending. q
A short program was given begin
ming with musical romance for which
various old-time piano selections were
played by Mrs. w. B. Clement. This
was followed by talk on Early Days
in Redwood by Mrs. Mary Finn who
has been a resident of the city for
more than fifty years. Mrs. Finn
told of the arrival of her husband in
Redwood Falls, of his decision to
settle here instead of at Duluth be-
cause it was prophesied in those days
that Redwood, because of its great
water power, would rapidly become
one of the leading cities of the state.
At that time the village was surround
ed by open prairies and presented few
IF the beauties it now possesses. Old
time songs were sung by Mrs.
O'Meara, Mrs Grapp and MINES Hillig
and Treu. An old time reading was
very cleyerly given by Mrs. A. D.
McRae

freshment committee under the direc-
tion of its chairman Mrs. Fl. M. Hitch
cock. Mrs. S. E. Hargis was in

LAMBERTON EDITOR STATES
HIS TEAM WAS aOUT OF LUCK"
IN TUESDAYS GAME.

The Lamberton Legion five met de-
feat by narrow margin, in the hands
of the Legion team of Redwood Falls,
at the high school gym Tuesday eve
ming. The final score was 10 to %.
Lamberton team and floor work was
better throughout the game than that
of their opponents. Luck was against
them at basket shooting. The ball
would apparently be a good one but
instead it "rolled" the rim of the bas-
ket and Topped out. Lamberton was
4off" on shooting from the free throw
line during the first half of the game,
eight fouls were committed by Red
wood and Lamberton Gagged but one
of them. The first quarter ended 10
to and the half, 16 to 5, with Red
wood in the lead.
Our boys staged grand "come-
back" during the last two periods of
the game and played the visitors off
their feet. During this time Lamber-
ton scored 16 points to Redwood's
6. Time was up too soon and LAM
berton failed by points to overcome
the visitors lead.
The lineup was slightly changed.

Morton Loses
to Redwood.

Thursday evening the Legion teams
of Redwood Falls and Morton met on
the arnlory floor and played one of
the best games of the season. The
score at the close of the play was
twenty seven to sixteen in Redwood S
favor. Gregor was the star player for
the local team and Castle starred
among the Morton players. The game
promises much in interest and excite
ment for the sidelines at the Washing
ton Birthday tournament since Morton
is one of the visiting teams on that
ocassion. The Thursday evening
game was very well attended and the
audience was very enthusiastic.

Good Concert But
Poor Audience
HIGH. SCHOOL ORCHESTRA GAVE
EXCELLENT CONCERT FRIDAY
EVENING.

The Redwood Falls high school con-
cert gave a very excellent concert at
the armory last Friday evening under
the direction of Geo. Bittrich who was
the organizer of the orchestra anc
has been it's director since that time
The program was very excellent one
of varied selection and was splendidly
played Vocal solo numbers were sung
by Miss Gertrude Weldon and Harold
Starr, Miss Hazel Hitchcock played a
violin solo, Alvin Bittrich played a
cornet solo and Miss Rose Adele
Asleson cello solo. The other num-
bers were all orchestra numbers and
contained several selections from
musical classics. The concert was
conceded by all who were in attendance
to be the best. the orchestra has ever
given and to show splendid progress
in musical study.
1t is unfortunate that for some cause
or another the attendance at the con-
cert was so exceedingly light, the
gross proceeds for the evening
amounting only to sixty dollars. The
Orchestra has been most generous
about playing without charge when
ever requested and it has the right to
expect that this generosity would be
reciprocated by large attendance at
it's only paid concert this year. How
ever the results fell far before this
expectation and the disappointment
of the orchestra members and their
leader is most keen. The proceeds
were scarcely enough to defray the
expenses of the evening to say nothing
of paying off the Indebtedness incurred
by the purchase of instruments.

Auto Club Revived.

During DR.. E. Al. Lyman's- recent
visit to Redwood Falls he was instru-
mental in resurrecting the defunct
Redwood Falls Automobile Club, it
being his opinion that the city should
have representation in the State
Automobile Club. The club is formed
in conjunction with the Commercial
Club and is differed by the same men.
Thirty eight members for the club
were secured and dues from these
members have already been paid.

Local Team
Beats Tracy
REDWOOD BOYS WIN SCORE OF
17-16 IN FRIDAY NIGHT
GAME.
HOPES FOR CARLETON.
GAME WITH SLEEPY EYE FRI
DAY TO HELP DECIDE ON
CONFERENCE TEAM.

On Friday, February II, the local
High School basketball team trimmed
Tracy at Tracy the score being II to
16. This was conference game and
gives Redwood great hopes for trip
to the state tournament at Carleton
College. This makes two victories
over Tracy for the local boys.
The game was fast and furious
throughout, with first Redwood in the
lead and then Tracy. The players
were clean on both sides and there
were no important disputes.
In the first two minutes of play
Tracy took the lead by sinking field
basket. A few minutes later Lam
berton made a free throw. Tracy
made another field basket and then
Redwood cut loose and made two in
quick succession. The first quarter
ended 5-4 in favor of Redwood.
Tracy came back strong and sank
a field basket and free throw in quick
order Evans made another and Lam
berton a free throw. The game proce-
eded for five minutes with neither side
gaining any ground. Tracy speared
a long one near the end of the quarter
and the half ended 9-8 in Tracy's fav-
or.
After ten minutes of good strong
coaching on their weak points and
praises on their strong points, the
boys came back 'rarin' to go! Lam
berton circled a dandy side shot and
Redwood took the lead. A free throw
a few minutes later credited to Red
woods side spurred Tracy to a field
basket. This making it, II and II, at
the end of the third quarter.
Redwood made field basket on the
comeback and then Tracy took a squirt
and rung two field baskets and free
throw in the first seven minutes. This
however was the end of Tracy's scor-
ing. The home lads went on the ram
page and after Lamberton had made
two free throws, Evans threw the WIN
ming basket of the game. The last five
minutes was real battle, Tracy strug-
Cling desperately to overcome a l
point lead and Redwood fighting equ-
ally hard to retain it. A personel on
Laudon in the last minute gave Tracy
a chance to tie the score but they muf-
fed it. The whistle blew a few sec
ends later, giving the game to Red
wood.
The team played perfectly, and
simply would not be beaten. Although
it were at the disadvantage Of hav-
ing to play on a match box floor, the
boys played their best which was just
enough.
The team takes on the speedy
Sleepy Eye five next Friday, which
will be a deciding game in the confer
ence. If our lads trim them the two
teams will be tied and will play on
neutral floor, the winner of the game
going to the tournament at Mankato.
Four teams will be present at this
match to decide the team that will
journey to the state tournament at
Carleton.
Lets all turn out Friday and give
the home boys some support and help
them to go to Carleton.

FILM CALLED HIT OF
YEAR BY CRITICS

"The Storms,' the Universal-Jewel
attraction which has won widespread
commentator as the outstanding
screen success of the year, comes to
the Kenworthy theatre on Thursday
for an engagement of two days. An
all-star cast, headed by House Peters,
makes the screen version of Langdon
McCormick's world famous play, an
artistic triumph that holds the spec
tator spellbound. Virginia Valli and
Matt Moore play the chief supporting
roles. In fact this stellar trio carry
the burden of the majority of the
scenes.
With the action of the storm laid
in the northern Canadian woods, ex-
ceptional opportunities were offered
for intense dramatic scenes, and Di-
rector Reginald Barker took full ad-
vantage of each chance to build up
the suspense element. The forest fire
scene, in which the flames sweep
along in leaps and spurts, is magnifi-
cent and exceeds the thrilling me-

ssMONTE CRISTOc WILL
WIN NEW CONVERTS

1t is generally conceded that the
motion picture has not reached, to any
degree of permanency, quite number
of persons in America. Jus why it
has not is more or less of a mystery
Those few which the screen has not
reached are numbered among the
ton pictures can portray story in
an intedesting manner.
However, these doubling Thomases
will have new joy in witnessing the
remarkable drama adapted from the
famous story, Monte CristO," written
by the immortal Alexandra Dumas. 1t
is to have it's local premiere at the
Liberty theatre starting Wednesday.
1t was produced by William Fox TN
der the direction of Emmett j. Flynn
This story, which has been read by
millions and which will ever remain
as classic of adventure, love and ro-
nance, provides an excellent theme for
a screen drama. 1t is possible through
the scope of the motion picture cam
era to carry the audience to France,
the locale of the story, and there de-
pict in a faithful way the stirring
adventures of the youth first known
as Edmond Dantes.
Few, if any Of the older generation,
who have read at all, have Lever
read this story. For this reason many
who seldom go to the motion picture
theatre, will do so when this great |
Fox special opens here. This has
proved to be the case in other cities
where the picture has already been |
shown.
The local management states that
Monte Cristo" is without an equal as
a screen drama.

Each child was presented with Bible.
About twenty were promoted from
