NEW ENGLAND TOWN OUT
 TO RUN DOWN RUM CRAFT
 PLYING TRADE ON COAST

MILFORD, Conn.,, Feb. 3.-Far out in the haze of Long Island Sound, off the dreary Milford beaches, lies Charles Islands, where 40 years ago Connecticut militia rounded up and jailed a gang of New Workers who were conducting a prize fight in de- fiance of State laws. Milford folk, watching Charles Island today thru high-powered glasses, believe State militia should go there again-this time to put down rum-runners. They suspect the island is the center of thriving trade.
 Milford beaches are crowded with summer homes which in winter are boarded and shuttered But say those who claim to know, lights flash from the houses by night, and muf- fled motor boats fit across the water between there and Charles Island bearing valuable cargOes.
 Milford staid old Puritan town, is waiting to be fairly sure of evidence before making complaint to the Governor.

|. A. TALKS ABOUT
 2-STORY STREETS

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3.-With the traffic situation in Los Angeles be- coming greater problem every day the latest proposal as relief for con- gestion is "second story" streets for pedestrians and automobiles, with moving side walls and escalators in the downtown area, according to Coun- cilman w. J. Sanborn, chairman of the City Councils public utility commit tee.
 The plan, Sanborn declares, has been submitted to his consideration by a famous engineer and in all probability will be placed before the City Council.
 The present downtown streets vir- tually would be converted into sys- tenn of "elevated subways" for use of street cars, pedestrians and conner cial delivery vehicles under the plan, Sanborn says.
 The plan calls for the construction of streets supported by steel or con- crete pillars, 22 feet above the pres ent level of the city streets, leaving these for use of fast street car ser vice.
 While the proposal may seem para doxical,' said Councilman Sanborn, "the plan is really very simple. A new street would be created. Strong steel girders would support the new street, which would contain automo- bile roadways, curbs and moving side walks.
 "The plan could be put into opera tion at a comparatively small cost and would do away with the disarrange- ment of water mains and conduits under the present streets. Both the present ground floors and the second stories of buildings would be used by commercial establishments for dis plays and shopping centers.'

About a year ago the town of Safety Harbor attempted to open a street through the Booth property, resulting in a pitched battle between Mrs. Booth, her daughters and the town marshal, who was stabbed with a hatpin and otherwise injured. The marshal died several months ago.

SIAM KING TRANSLATES ROMEO AND JULIET INTO
 HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE

LONDON, Feb. 2. - His Majesty the King of Siam has earned the right to be classed among the nu- merous translators of Shakespeare, for he has pust completed translating "Romeo and Juliet" into Siamese, and his version will soon be staged in Bangkok, the capital of Siam.
 "Romeo and Juliet" is by no means the first Shakespearean play that he has translated. He has previously translated "The Merchant of Venice' and "As You Like It." both of which have been staged and performed at Bangkok.

MARRIAGE NOT
 MEREBUSINESS,
 WOMEN ASSERT.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Feb. 3.-Mar riage a mere business contract sim ply to insure the protection of the children?
 "Yes," says Mrs. Almon Hensley, writer and suffragist, who foresees such condition within fifty years, adding that women will live separ- ate lives, with motherhood pensi ned, and, should mothers prove incompe- tent, their offspring will be placed in "home group institutions.
 'No!" shout Syracuse clubwomen, professional women and successful wives and mothers.
 Says Dr. Theresa Ramon, one of the best-known women physicians upstate:
 eff Mrs. Hensley will guarantee a complete change and evolution in hu- man nature during the next fifty years her conclusions will be logical. But if in fifty years the marriage contract is a purely business one she needn't make provisions in her plans for the children, cause there won't be any,
 Mrs Kate Knickerbocker, president of the Kanatenah Club, says:
 q don't approve of or believe in Mrs. Hensely's statements. Matri- mony is a sacred institution and should be regarded as such. The situation, as Mrs. Hensely describes it. will never come about while there are American mothers living who hold to American ideas. It is poor idea to spread such things be- fore the younger generation. They have enough ideas already. l think Mrs Hensely is certainly looking at the world through very queer eyes"
 Mrs. Cora P. Graham, president of the Syracuse WOmen's Congress-:
 Don't let anybody worry about such remarks. Truly intellectual wo- men-I mean women who honestly true and sane methods of living. It is merely question of vision-and I think Mrs Hensley's eyes are on the bias"

WILLS MANAGER FIGURE HEAD,
 SAYS WALSH

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Probably the most gullible and at the same time, the most superfluous appendage a boxer ever had is Paddy Mullins, the low-geared manager of Harry Wills. Paddy is a fine fellow, personally even tempered, trustworthy, substan- tial, source, no doubt, of constant pride to his family and altogether bromide. He would make an excel lent clergyman.
 That he is not a thoroughgoing success as a prize-fight manager is due to the fact that the boxing game has been, and is, a happy hunting ground for sharpshooters. Paddy is almost pathetic at this merry pastime.
 WiIs's Stock Drops
 No better proof of this is needed than the fact that Wills, poten- tial million-dollar asset as late as last summer, is now barely sol vent, in a fistic sense. He has been allowed to depreciate beyond all reason just because Mullins thinks that modesty is a more seemly virtue than garrulous enterprise He has never made a serious attempt to keep Wilss name before the pub lie, and as result the negro's quest of the heavyweight title is now al most a dead issue.
 Imagine Jimmy Johnston or Dan Morgan in charge of Wllls's at- fairs! They would have talked that brunette person into a match with Dempsey long since or had the public so warmed up over the mat ter that Jack would be discredited if he declined the issue. They know that publicity is the one and only go-getter, and they conduct them selves accordingly.
 Mullins, on the contrary, is managerial oyster. So must so, Ill fact, that he is the last port of cali in the event that you want to know something about Wills. His inevit- able reply to all questions, is:
 "Oi dunno" repeated with depress ing monotony. One would assume from Paddy's demeanor that he is only politely interested in Wills.
 Silence Not Golden
 His attempts to match wits with Jack Kearns and other astute mem bers of the profession are equally unimpressive. He seems to realize that he is dealing with sharp tdsi- ness men, but doesn't know just what to do about it. He, therefore, does nothing.
 This policy lost him a golden op- portunity last spring, when Dempsey and Kearns went abroad. Mullins and Wills should have followed on the next steamer, for Europe was wild to see Dempsey in action and would have paid literally for the pf1Nl6Se, pdIlICuldIly SihCS IhtiH " -'o no sentiment abroad against mixed bouts at that time
 It may be remembered that Wood man followed these tactics in the case of the fleeing Tommy Burns, finally cornered that elusive individ- ual in far-off Sydney, and as a re- suit Jack Johnson became champion of the world. Mullins and Wills had the same chance. but the Demp- sey-Kearns troupe was back in Amer ica while they were still thinking it over.
 Wills has suffered less through Mullins's miscarriage of plans than has Paddy himself. The fighter has picked up fair enough living in the ring, but Mullins never has got back the money he sunk il at!"mpt' ing to put Wills over as a champion ship contender in fac, it is sad on good authority tha. Mullins would just about b7 aak even with the money he would get from a match with Dempsey. ...

The Redwood Falls Lecture Course
Committee met with Miss Ewing, q
representative of the Keith Vawter
Company, Monday evening and made
a tentative selection of the numbers
for the course of 1924. The num-
bers selected include some of the very
best talent on the circuit and the
course promises to be the best in
many years. If present plans of the
committee are carried out the season
will open next November with Smilin'
Through play presented by seven
people, the company carrying its own
scenery and stage equipment. This
play, which is the one made famous in
New York and Chicago by Jane Cowl
and her strong support, is worth more
than the price of the entire course.
The other four numbers selected are
also extremely strong numbers and
the committee is hopeful that it will
get the support of all the people of
Redwood Falls and the vicinity so that
there may need to be no changes in
the talent selected.

Farm Bureau Plans

The Minnesota Holstein Breeders
Association is conducting a purebred
sire selling campaign i'm some of the
Counties of the State. The work is
going on successfully i'm Blue Earth
County, now They sell purebred sires
Of every breed but only especially we'll
selected animals representative of the
breed. Sales are directed especially
toward grade or scrub sire owners.
This movement has the cooperation
of the local and State Farm Bureau
but no such movement is being pro
NOTED at this time in Redwood Coun-
ty.
This is to call peoples attention to
the fact that some unrecognized agen-
cies are busy selling stock under this
representation. If any of this is go
ing on in Redwood County it should
be reported at once to the County
Agent.
This is not meant to discourage any
purchaser from buying good purebred
sires from any source where good re
preventative specimens of the breed
can be secured.
A special effort will be made by the
Redwood County Farm Bureau to Sc
cure specialist help through Miss New
ton, Home Demonstration Leader of
the state, to bring TO the women of
Redwood County some phases of work
of particular interest 10 the farm wo-
men during the year. In this cOnnec-
ton it is hoped that anyone having
suggestions to offer on subjects that
may be taken up in the township units,
will send them in to County Agent
Lynn Sheldon at an early date so that
plans may be worked out.
There are many things that might
be taken up but time will not permit
the County Agent TO launch too many
projects if efficient work is to be con-
Quoted. Action was taken by the
Board that all poultry culling and
fruit tree pruning demonstrations and
other demonstrations of similar ma
ture will be limited to one to each
township unit and that before any
demonstration be held that the town
ship be notified Of the time, place and
nature of the work, either through a
meeting, public newspaper notice or
by personal notice. In this way it
will be possible for the Agent to reach
a larger number of people at one time
and accomplish much more during the
year.
A special effort will be made to call
on every boy and girl club member
twice during the year.
