Dunwoody Will Help

The Dunwoody Institute is an en-
dowed institution and was established
for the specific purpose of giving free
instruction to the youth of Minnesota.
The school believes that it can be of
service to persons interested in radio.
A broad-casting station has been in
stalled and at this time general and
technical information is broadcasted
on Monday evenings between the hours
of eight and nine o'clock. During
this period of time questions regard
ing radio problems are answered,
technical lectures regarding radio are
given and general lectures of an edu-
cational nature are broadcasted.
There are some seven stations in
the Twin Cities broadcasting various
kinds of programs as well as many
other stations distributed throughout
the state. In connection with the
building or operating of receiving
sets, numerous difficulties are encount-
cred by persons due to lack Of under
standing in regard to the equipment.
Many people are at a loss to know
where to go for information for cor
recting these troubles. Dunwoody In
stitute therefore offers expert free
service in this connection.
The institute will answer free of
charge any question or questions re-
garding radio receiving or transmit
ting sets providing such questions
are mailed to the institute together
with postage for reply.

Company L Wins

The Company L Basketball team
was called to Olivia on short notice
last Thursday night to play with the
Town Team of that city. The Olivia
team was somewhat disappointed that
the Redwood Falls Legion team could
MT meet them but it's members were
disappointed in another direction when
the Company L boys won from them
by score of % to 16, with all the
favors on the side of the Olivia team.
This was the first of this season s
games for the Company boys and they
feel a little more than well satisfied
with the results. Mervin Mason and
Harold Shores played Forward, Paul
Martin played Center and Wilbur
Lamberton and Earl Zorn were Gu
ards. Russell Reynolds served as sub
stitute. Tuesday evening, December
26, the team will meet the Morton
team on the Morton floor. 1t is the
intention of the Company to have a
basketball season all it's own and an
nouncement of the schedule will be
made soon.

Formed;
Make Beauty Clay
GLACIER DEPOSIT LABORATORI-
ES, ORGANIZED AT CAPIALIZA-
TION OF $4,000.

In last weeks issue of the Advance
Press we stated that new corpora
tion had been organized in this city,
and that with this issue we would in
form our readers as to the name of
the new company and those interested
in it's organization. Shortly after the
paper was mailed last week we were
beseiged with inquiries regarding the
new concern, which is positive proof
that Springfield residents in general
are greatly interested in new business
ventures promoted locally.
Some months ago it became known
that certain strata Of clay in the
pits of the A. C. Ochs Brick & Tile
Company of this city could be utilized
in the manufacture of a Beauty
Clay" an article which has been wide
ly advertised in national magazines
during the past several months. This
clay has been given. a thorough analy-
sis and it was found when compounded
with the proper ingredients to be su-
perior to many other products of a
like nature now on the market.
One other beauty clay concern was
very much interested in buying the
clay from the local brick and tile man
ufacturels, but the members of the
newly organized company, after con-
siderable deliberation, decided to
launch company for the local manu-
facture of beauty clay.
The home office of the company will
be Springfield, Mimi, and while the
product is now being manufactured on
a small scale, arrangements have been
made to increase the output pending
the arrival of the necessary machin-
cry for mixing, packing, boxing and
labelling. The formula and name Of
the Beauty Clay" are now being
copyrighted.

Agricultural Society
Gets State Funds
REDWOOD COUNTY GETS $3.50
FROM STATE TO HELP PAY
PREMIUMS OF LAST FAIR.

Minnesota is this week reimbursing
81 county and district agricultural
societies for the money spent by them
in premiums during 1922 The amount
being paid is S140, ,104.38, of which
Redwood County Agricultural Society
receives S1530.00.
Warrants are being sent by the
State Auditor to the treasurers of the
counties. Washington county did not
hold a fair during the year and there
fore does not participate in the distri-
button.
Several years ago the Legislature
decided that agricultural associations
which i1ad done so much to develop
and encourage the best in agricultural,
should be given state aid. Compare
lively small amounts were set aside
for the purpose but the aid has been
increased until the 1921 Session ap-
propriated $140,000.00 for the pur-
pose, providing maximum payment
of $4,000 to any society.
The law provides that certain speci-
fed organizations which have an an
nual membership of twenty-five or
more, hold fairs on enclosed grounds,
to which fixed charge of admission
is made, and which have paid pre-
miums to exhibitors, shall be entitled
to receive not to exceed $4,000 from
the state, but in case the amount must
be divided pro-rata, to receive state
aid based on premium payment of
$4,000.
The reports from each society or
association must be filed with the
State Auditor before December 1st,
and then he apportions the aid to the
various societies.
This year a total of S196,926.00 was
paid in premiums by the societies en-
titled to state aid. With an appro-
priation of $140,000 and balance of
S104.38, the state is reimbursing the
societies to the extent of 80 per cent
of the payments which the societies
themselves made, or the statutory
$4,000 maximum.
Under the operation of the statute
the maximum amount received by any
society this year is $3.50. 90.

Youngsters Having
Best of Times
SMALL BOYS NOW PRIVILEGED
TO USE ARMORY SATURDAY
AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS.

The Saturday-a -athletics-for-th the Red
wood-Fa alls-boys plans worked out by
Captain Allen Fraser of Company L
are certainly one big, booming success.
If you don't believe it ask the small
boys who are privileged to go there
on Saturdays and learn to play basket
ball, and volley ball and more stunts
and games and things than they ever
had before in their lives. In the boys
minds there is only one regret-and
that is that every day is not Saturay!
Because of other organizations wish
ing to help Captain Fraser in his work
for the welfare of the boys, it is now
possible to open the armories Satur-
day afternoons and all boys up to the
that time instead of in the evening.
The supervisors will be in charge,
shower baths will be on tap and every
thing will be just as we'll arranged as
for the evening session. In this way
it will be possible for some of the
younger boys who are not permitted
to be away from home during the eve
ming to have the same athletics as the
older boys. Please remember that all
boys from the first to the seventh
grades are asked to come in the after
noon.
For the evening hours the boys of
the seventh and eighth grades, and
all boys of the high school who are
not receiving athletic training with
one or the other of the high school
athletic associations, are asked to
come. Several of the young men of
the city who have had considerable
training are assisting very graciously
with the supervision and the groups
are so organized as to make the very
best possible use of the time and
equipment. 1t is possible, according
to Captain Fraser's present judgment,
that opening the armory to these older
boys for more than just one evening
week may be practical. If not in
use it is possible that he may be able
to offer it for an occasional midweek
evening. At least every Saturday
night for the next sixteen weeks it's
use is assured.
This plan whereby Company L is
offering the armory for the very best
OF community uses, is made possible
only through the help of the organiza-
tions. And the more help thus receiv-
ed the more use it will be possible for
the Company to offer. The plan is
most generous one and very well
worked out on the part of Captain
Fraser and the Company members
assisting him. They invite visits
from representatives of the organiza-
tions who are financing the plan, that
these organizations may receive re-
ports of the work done and the man
ner on which the athletics, games, ETC.
are conducted. These visitors will be
made very welcome.

Cows Are Shot
in MurrayCounty
ENEMIES ENTER BARN AND
SHOOT CATTLE; MOONSHINE
ALLEGED TO BE CAUSE.

One of the most despicable crimes
ever committed in Murray county,
took place last Thursday night, when
unknown persons, cruelty shot in cold
blood, five milch cows, owned by Ole
Hager Of Dovray township.
The crime took place sometime dur
hour fixed at two o'clock by Mr.. Ha-
ger
The cows were shot while they were
held in their stanchions in the Hager
barn. One COW was shot behind the
ear and instantly killed. The second
was shot in the neck and will recover.
The third was shot in the back and
wounded so severely that it was nee
essary to kill it the next morning.
The fourth animal received only a
skin bruise and the fifth was shot in
the shoulder.
Empty cartridges lying on the barn
floor and found by Mr.. Hager the
next morning showed that the animals
had come to their death by being shot
by thirty-two bullet. One bullet
was extracted from one of the dead
animals and another one was found
moored in a plank in one end of the
barn, which bullet, it is thought went
wild or glanced from the animal re-
ceiving the skin bruises.
AS soon as Mr.. Hager and his sons
had learned that they had been the
victims of most horrible crime, they
at once looked about the place for
clues, in an effort to arrive at the
identity of the guilty ones.
Foot marks were found as were the
clear impressions of automobile tires.
The auto that was used leaked oil
and water Near where the auto was
parked was found letter written to
Jerry Ravers, a young man of that vi
cinity. Mr.. Hager Immediately came
to this city and swore out a war
rant for the arrest of Ravers.
Ravers was brought to this city on
Monday, and a hearing was held in
Justice Hyslop's court. Ravers ask
ed for an adjournment of his case
until December 18th, which was
granted. His bond was placed at
$4,000 and that amount was soon
raised.
The shooting is an outgrowth of
moonshine activities in the vicinity
of Dovray. The illicit traffic has
grown to such an extent in that vi
cinity that Mr.. Hager with others set
out to destroy the traffic and bring
the offenders to justice Accordingly
revenue officers were notified and last
week made raid, capturing two
stills.
It is thot that Mr. Hager's activi-
ties had something to do with the
shooting, altho Ravers has not been
charged with violating the Volstead
act. The letter, however, is circum-
stantial evidence and is sufficient to
hold him. Murray County Herald.

Phone User Wins
$1,000 Judgment
JURY FINDS COMPANY'S ALLEG-
ATIONS OF INFLUENZA, La
BOR, ETC, INSUFFICIENT.

That public service corporations
owe the public adequate returns for
the charges, made for such services
was amply demonstrated in the YER
dict of a jury in Minneapolis in the
sum of 81 600 against the Northwest
ern Telephone Exchange company,
now the Northwestern Bell Telephone
company, for damages growing out of
alleged ineffciency of telephone SER
vice. The award was made to George
S. Grimes, attorney, 538 Mcknight
building, by jury before Judge H.
D. Dickinson in Hennepin county dis
trict court.
The suit was the first of it's kind
ever brought in the United States.
Mr.. Grimes sought $4,000 for loss of
time due to telephone service Difficult
ties from July 81, 1917, to July 81,
1918, and from July 31,1919 to July
81, 1920. The company's answer was
that the influenza epidemic, labor
troubles and other circumstances
over which they had no control, were
responsible for the quality of ser
vice given during the period of time
in question.
The jury, which consisted Of seven
women and five men, deliberated
three hours over questions submitted
to them by Judge Dickinson, as fol-
lows:
''Under the terms of the contract
with the subscriber which called for
reasonably prompt service, did the
company exercise ordinary care and
give reasonable service under the cir
cumstances? If the company did,
then it is not liable.
eff the company did not render
reasonable service under the circum-
stances, then it would be liable for
breach of it's contract with the sub
scYiber.
Further, if the company by reason
of such breach, injured the plaintiff
in the main issue, that is, in the prin-
ciple of the terms, of the contract for
reasonable service, then there should
be an award of nominal damage.
This is, from one cent to 81.
"On the other hand, If there was
found to have been actual damage,
then the jury must determine the
amount of damage suffered" e
E. A. Prendergast, general counsel
for the telephone company, announced
that the case would be taken to the
Minnesota Supreme court on appeal.
Mr.. Grimes expressed satisfaction
when the jury returned the verdict
ssIt is not the amount involved" he
said, esbut we have established prin-
ciple. It will mean that the telephone
company will know it may be subject
to action or damages for inadequate
service, and because of that fact, will
give us service that is adequate.

Too Much Gregor'
Morgan Complains
LEGION TEAM WINS GOOD VIC
TORY FROM MORGAN; SCORE
Ii TO 25.

Too much Gregor-that's the
answer for Redwood Falls victory over
Morgan on Tuesday night. The To-
Gals, with Dahms doing most of the
scoring, grabbed off IA while Gregor
with his four assistants piled up 25.
The former St. Olaf star shot field
goals from all over the floor, dribled,
broke up plays, and shot from the
foul lines in fashy way. Dahms
for Morgan did most of the heavy
work getting II of Morgan's points,
the rest of the White Swans left their
shooting eyes at home when they
packed their suit cases.
The first quarter was marked
by close guarding, both teams playing
safe and feeling out the defense,
Gregor scored long field basket CIV
ing Redwood a 20 lead for the period.
Both sides opened up in the next
period Dahms scoring twice for Nor
gan from the field and Tauer twice
from the foul line giving Morgan 6
to Redwood 7.
Redwood came back with new fight
in the third quarter and shots by
Mason and Gregor put them well in
the lead, then Morgan braced and
Dahms dropped in two long ones. The
last period the Soldiers sifted through
the White Swans and coupled with
long shots wrecked the hopes of the
Morgan boys.
The Redwood team has lots of power
and speed, this coupled with a good
passing game will take them long
way this winter. Morgan was way
off shooting form, and their defense
at times was very loose More prac-
tice is needed. The game was one of
the cleanest games seen on floor in
this part of the country in several
years. Castle of Morton, handled the
game in good style.

Two Good Games
With Morgan
MORGAN GIRLS WIN BY SCORE
OF 1876, REWoOD BOYS BY
35 TO 18.

Morgan Girls team came with an
adding machine to the game at the
Armory last Friday evening, expecting
to have to use it figuring up their
score against the Redwood Girls. AL
tho they did not need it, the game was
decisively theirs. Redwood girls were
at a disadvantage as this was their
first game of the season, and Morgan's
eighth consecutive victory. Morgan
girls fought hard as they wanted to
get revenge for their one defeat of
last year by Redwood.
The game started with basket for
Morgan. They continued to keep in
the lead altho the Redwood girls were
full of fight. Due to lack of team
work on the part of Redwood, Nor
gan had the ball most Of the time.
Fouls were continually called on both
teams, and one guard on each was
put out for personals, they being
Mable Mason and Loretta Parker.
Helen Melges starred for Redwood
and Agnes Scheuvalter for Morgan
in basket caging. Most of Redwood's
score was made on free throws while
Morgan was less successful.
This defeat does not predict an un-
favorable season for Redwood girls
as they have good material and this
experience will help them in future
games. Score 16 to in favor of Nor
gan.

The boys game started off with a
dash and after the first few minutes
of play Redwood took the lead and
held it during the rest of the game.
The team played a fast game from
start to finish and clearly out played
the visitors.
Peavey was the outstanding star of
the game and his classy pivoting along
with his shooting was a big factor in
Redwood's success.
Captain Root sunk some nice bas-
kets and played a great floor game.
Laudon played his usual fast game.
Mason and Cain at guards played
a great defensive game.
Redwood had the ball most of the
time owing to their team work which
showed great improvement ever
last weeks game with Morton. Dur
ing the last half the second team was
put in and they continued to roll 'em
in. Although several fouls were call
ed both teams are to be complimented
on their clean playing.
This was Redwood's first game at
home and Judging from their good
showing they show prospects of de-
veloping into first rate team. Score
35 to 1S in favor of Redwood.

DAVE ROSENBERG
OUTPO|NTS KRUC
IN 10 ROUND CO
Brooklyn Fighter Wins
Commissions ReCoqni-
ton as Champion Mid
dIeWeight Boxer of World
(By The Associated Prsss.l

New York, Aug. 14.-Dave Ros-
enberg of Brooklyn battled his way
to a 15-round victory on points
over Phil Krug, of Harrison, N. j..
and won the recognition of the
New York boxing commission as
champion middleweight of the
world tonight at the New York
velodrome.
Rosenberg regained the mastery
in the thirteenth, but contented
himself with hard body blows,
slowing up when on the verge of
a finishing blow. Krug was al
most off his feet several times in
the fourteenth but Rosenberg in
variably covered himself up and
then sought Krug's body.
Rosenberg, however, only en-
Joys the title in this state as no
other regulatory body has upheld
the Empire state ruling that de-
prived Johnny Wilson of Boston
OF his title because he declined
the purse proposed to him for a
match with the Brooklyn boy.
Officially, the winners title is
"middleweight champion of the
world in New York state" The
victory of Rosenberg tonight did
not stamp MIN as or champion
ship calibre. Had he been a fast
thinker and sufficiently agile, he
could have delivered a knockout
in one of the early rounds for
his blows contained driving pow
er that was devastating.
