SEEKS JOINT DEBATE
Henry Hiilesheim Stirs Up Coun-
Gilman Waters at Madella

maQeQa, Mini, April l.-Ou
Monday, April 10, Henry Hillesheim
former member of the village coun-
Gil, addressed communication to
The Times Messenger with the re-
quest that it be given prominence
In the next issue of this paper. IN
April IL we received from Mr.. Hill
lesheim another letter which read:
"Out of respect to the memory OF
w. w. Cole / ask you not to pub
lish the letter sent you on the 10th
until next week"
Agreeable to Mr.. Hillesheim's re-
quest, we held up the publication of
the original letter until this week,
and now, having received no further
adyices reproduce it, as follows:
Madelia, MINI. April 10, 1922
Mr.. w. ID. Hinchon, Editor Madelia
Times Messenger, City. Dear Sir.
After reading the last paragraph IN
your article headed New Mayor
and Council Take Over Reins Of
Viii. Government" / consider it
about time that someone else besid-
es Lewis explains his views.
If l remember correctly you were
present at a previous meeting when
Mr.. Lewis raved about being obliged
to attend to the duties Of other
members of the council when they
neglected to do their duty, and you
should have known that her was
absolutely no excuse for Mr.. Lewis
butting in when he did.
Although l have been slurred and
slandered for trying to do my duty
as a member of the village council
had intended to just grin and bear
It, but when you keep on rubbing it
in 1t is time to call halt. There
are times when patience ceases to
be virtue.
/ will meet Mr.. Lewis in public
debate at McI,ean's Hall and go ov-
er my entire record as a member of
the council and leave it to the pub
lie to judge whether or not I did my
full duty.
The people have a right TO know
what went on behind the scenes in
the farce comedies that were stag
ed in Madelia by those who were in
power during the past year. Res
| spectfully Henry Hillesheim.

prominent space as you have Civ

FOLKS IN PRESTON
ANGRY;;BIGHOLLER
ALL FILMS NOW BANNED
ON SUNDAY
PEOPLE ARE AROUSED
Rejection of Sabbath Day Nov
les Is Cause of Indignation
Display.

Preston Mimi, April 21.--Boy
page Mr.. Will Hays. Preston
Mimi, wants him. When you get
him, 237 indignant residents who
enjoy a movie on a Sunday want to
talk to him.
For yesterday, after a heated ell
ection contest, 272 other citizens
voted to GUST the Sunday movie.
This village of 1,40O souls has been
divided into two camps, and the
controversy has passed the stage OF
mere village discussion.
Last night the defeated admirers
OF motion picture stars sent out ap-
peals to heads OF the motion picture
industry in New York and Califor-
mia, communicated with Mr.. Hays,
and appealed to Clifford Hilton, at
,, torney general OF Minnesota. II
they can do it, they are out to save
the Sunday programs Of the one
movie house in the village.
The leaders of the fight against
the Sunday movie, however, are not
idle. They are going to appeal TO
the good people or the state" to
help hold the victory.
The question was submitted to
the voters by the village council.
DR.. c. R. Love, member Of the COM
mittee which handled the affair,
said tonight that the election may
close the movie on Sunday, and 1t
may not. That, he said, is for At
torney General Hilton to decide.
Seven Kinds of Charters
Mr. Hilton has annnnnnad that
there are seven kinds Of charters
under which villages in Minnesota
operate and the issue depends upon
which kind governs the municipal
affairs of Preston. Under one OF
these charters, a question can be
submitted to a vote, and the major
ity rules, until the question is rails
ed again. Mr.. Hilton, until the
question is raised again. Mr.. Hill
ton will give no decision until he
has studied Preston's charter.
Sunday movie patrons in Preston
relied on the vote in Chatfield
Mimi, last week, and were over
confident, they say now. Chatfield
gave the Sunday movie a 127 ma
jority. Preston's election result was
surprise to the blue law opponents
The Rev. ]. E. Soudes, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, is the
leader in the campaign against the
Sunday movie, and his first assist
ant was the Rev. o. U. Siniss, pas
tor of the NJ. z. church.
Mr.. Soudes paid his respects to
the California Nmotion picture colony
tonight.
I'VE have eliminated the Sunday
movie after it has been running
about a year." he said. THE peo-
pie who are especially anxious to
safeguard the moral interests of the
oncoming generations regard it as
a splendid victory. 1t is to be hoped
that in the not dim distant future
the state Legislature will include
the Sunday movie along with the
State Fair in regarding the sancti-
ty Of the Christian Sabbath"
IF the law says so, the village
council will close the movie on
Sunday, but not until then" said DIR.
Love. I'VE are not certain what
We can do. / understand the NOV
lie people are going to continue
the fight and call on the whole mo-
ton picture industry. We are
waiting now to hear from the at
torney general"

You can't keep a good COW down II
you feed her and the we'll fed cows in
the Blue Earth Test Association are a
convincing example to anyone what the
right feed and care will do toward a
better and increased production.
The month of March found these 307
cows plugging away at their usual gait.
Out OF this number seventy-five pro-
duced forty lbs. of fat or over. 100 pro-
duced between thirty-hve and forty
pounds, l02 produced between twenty
from twenty to twenty-five pounds.
These thirty head were at the end OF
their iacation period and some had
only completed a part of the month.
The average production Of all cows
for the month was $40 pounds OF milk
OF butter fat. Using this month as an
average. as the year Is nearly half
completed. we find they win finish with
about $50 pounds of fat for the year.
This association has been in opera
ton for nearly three years and TO show
the strides that have been made toward
better and increased production, a few
figures will be given for -FOUR approval
1919 and 20 average, 1900 pounds milk,
2s5 pounds fat; 1920 and 81 average.
mated average for 1922. 5000 pounds
milk. $50 pounds fat.
Several factors enter into this in
creased prediction:
First. CThe main one) A purebred
sire has been in use for over a period
of years.
Second. A liberal feeding Of ball
anced ration.
Third. By culling out the non-pro-
ducers.
Fourth. By giving the good cow her
chance. which means kind treatment.
good care, and plenty to eat. A cow
must eat in order 10 produce. The
greatest mistake we make next to feed
ing "The scrub" COW, is the scrub"
feeding of our good cows.
