Red Cross Has
Annual Meeting
COUNTY CHAPTER AT LANDER
TON LAST THURSDAY
EVENING.

The Redwood County Red Cross
Chapter held its annual meeting in the
school house at Lamberton last Thurs
day evening with about two hundred
persons in attendance. This is the
largest number which has attended
any Of these meetings since the war
meetings were held, and spoke well
for the continued interest which the
people of the Lamberton community
have in the work of this great organ
ization. The branches of Belview
Lamberton, Milroy, Morgan, Walnut
Grove, and Redwood Falls We're well
represented. Mrs. M. H. Sandager
the county chairman, presided.
Miss Stoudt of the Children's Blu
reau of the State Board of Control
gave a most interesting talk on the
work of Child Welfare Boards though
out the state. Since the Child Wei
fare work in Redwood County is fin
anced by the Red Cross as a part OF
its peace time program, this talk was
extremely interesting and informa-
tive. C. M. Bendixen, the chairman
of the present Roll Call made short
and very strong plea for the support
of all the people of the County ir
the coming campaign. Mr.. Bendixen's
talk showed him to have very sym
pathetic understanding of the need OF
Red Cross support and his words were
an inspiration for all his listeners
to help him in the campaign. Miss
F. Lucille Joscelyn, the executive sec.
rotary. gave report of her work
through the9 year laying Stress or
what has been done with many of the
ex-service men of the County in the
adjustment of claims and the assist.
ance to sick men, etc. She also spoke
briefly of the work with the Chile
Welfare Board. Miss Fern Kennedy
gave an Interesting report of tbs
Junior Red Gross work of which she
is chairman. Fred lander, treasurer
Of the county chapter, made report
on the chapter finances. The Lam
berton High School orchestra played
several selections during the evening
and vocal solos by Mrs. Earl Ander-
son of Lamberton and Harold Finest
vedt of Belview were much enjoyed
w. M Bollenbach of Lamberton led ir
the assembly singing. A short bust
ness session was held for the electing
of County Directors and the meeting
then adjourned for short social hour
during which the ladies and girls Of
Lamberton served doughnuss ans
coffee.
Following the regular meeting the
directors met and elected officers fol
the next year. Mrs. M. HI. Sandagel
was reelected chairman, A. W. Olsor

ArmistiCe Day
Program Given
ANNIVERSARY OF PEACE OBJ.
SERVED BY PROGRAM AT ARM
DRY MONDAY AFTERNOON.

Armistice Day was observed by q
short and well-given program at the
Armory Monday afternoon. The at
tendance was poor, showing an ap-
palling neglect of this great anniver-
sary on the part of Redwood Falls
residents. Both citizens and ex-ser-
vice men were consciously absent
and the program on which much time
and preparation had been spent was
heard by only about one fifth of the
people who should have been in the
armory while it was being given
DIR. G. L. Grapp, Vice Commander
OF Melvin Daskam Post, presided dur
ing the program which opened with
music by the Scenic City Band, fol-
lowed by the Invocation pronounced
by Rev. Jiracek. Mr.. Dahlberg then
led the assembly singing. Mrs. G.
L. Grapp accompanied by Mrs. w. B.
Clement very beautifully sang Ken
nedy Russells' Farewell.
The speaker of the afternoon, Rev
Paul L. Grove, then gave very ex-
ccellent talk on the various phases of
war and how war is to be overcome
The speaker first showed that war is
illogical because it is based on three
falacies. The first of these falacies
is that nation may do that which
an individual may not do; the second
fallacy is that might makes right and
the third fallacy is that war is more
important than peace. His second
point was that war is cruel, both to
individuals and to nations, both te
the men who fight and to the millions
who stay at home and his third point
was that war is suicidal in that i,
makes for the ultimate and terrible
destruction of the human race by
sacrificing the potential fatherhood Of
warning nations.
Mr.. Grove then turned the thought
of his auditors to the necessity o.
saving future generations from TIT

session of which election of officers
was feature was held at the close
OF the meeting. Attorney G. A. Barn

Visit Grade Building Inspect 1t Thoroughly And Be
Convinced That 1t Is Untitled for
Further Use
State Aid Means $14,624
interest on Bonds $8.75O0O Bonds to Run Fifteen
Years with Privilege of Renewal; Everyone
Entitled to Vote Nov u

(By Supt. S. E. Hargis)
(Approved by Board of Education)
First Plan;
Let the old building stand just as
it is, over-crowded, poorly ventilated,
badly lighted, a fire trap, a school
building inferior to any around us,
with heavy yearly repair bill and
finally our loss of state aid of $14, 1924,
which would have to be raised by
taxes in addition to the amount al
ready raised.
Second Plan;
To build new Junior High and
Grade Building at cost not to ex-
coed $175,000 and by doing so increase
yearly the amount we get from the
state. The interest at 5 percent on
$175,000 would mean $3.50 to be
raised in taxes each year for new
building.
Do you know that the bonds run
for fifteen years and they can be
renewed? Have you stopped to think
that in fifteen years every child in
the first grade will be 81 years of
age and those of the higr school will
be men and women of 80 OF more
years of age and that the bulk of the
bond issue will be paid by them. De
you know that we can get our money
at 5 percent? Have you been told
costs will come down considerably by
the first of the year?
Have you been in school recently
while school was in session? If not,
how do you really know anything
about our school conditions. Can any,
one who has not been in your home
when all your family was there, for
number of years or never, tell much
about your home conditions?
Just because you were denied the
best in education, and haven't chill
dren in school, are you going to deny
your neighbours child for that reason
Do you think that because this build
ing was good enough for you 20 or 30
years ago that it is still good enough?
How many of you are living in the
same house or doing business in the
same building, as then, without ex-
tensive improvements !?
Have you stopped to think that the
insurance of a fire-proof building
would be $14 per $1,000 less for five
year period than on the old grade
building? If your child should hap
pen to be caught in our old fire-trap
would you stop to think of few ex-
ira dollars in cost?
Parents, think this matter over
seriously and there will be no ques-
ton how you will vote.
The old school building has served
the community long and well. But it
has been outgrown. This community
has made some progress during the
past thirty years and the old building
is good proof of this fact.
The superintendent and the MEM
bers of the Board of Education invite
the citizens Of Redwood Falls to visit
the grade building. They believe
that such visit will convince any
reasonable person that new building
is imperative. A trip through the
present building will show that ev-
everything that can be done, has been
done to the old building and that no.
thing but a new building will satisfy
the needs of the district.
All legally qualified voters, men and
women, may vote.

cOme-about in the last quarter of a
century and the state is gradually
! growing to be among the leading
manufacturing states of the Union.
The principal manufactured commodi-
ties are flour, lumber, mill products,
butter, cheese, condemned milk, pack
ed meats, linseed oil, boots, shoes, and
others. The most important mills
maintained in the state are flour and
lumber and in the case of the former
| the state has gained very extensive
reputation for the high grades of flour
produced and on very extensive

It has beenssaid that a huge stone
wall could be erected around the state
of Minnesota and her inhabitants
could live and thrive, enjoy all the
modern conveniences and commodities
of the outside world and never go out
side the precints of this wall. No
state in the Union has more diver

St. Peter Team
FINAL GAME OF SEASON Is
SCORELESS; AT ST. PETER
SATURDAY.

Last Saturday the local high school
football team, twenty -four, strong and
with some loyal rooters toured to St.
Peter and played and saw good
brand of football. Neither team was
able to score and the ball was never
closer than ten yards of either teams
goal.
The whole game the ball was near
the center of the field. st. Peter was
unable to pierce Redwood's line for
any gains and they had to punt right
at the start of the game. Redwood
made few good gains but they were
soon compelled to punt.
The first half neither team did any
considerable passing and but few first
downs were made. 1t was merely a
punting duel with some hard line
smashes.
The last half both teams opened up
and used everything they had in an
attempt to score but neither was able
to do so. This was the best half of
the game for both teams were giving
all they had to score. Redwood made
some good gains off of passes in this
half but st. Peter always frightened
up when their goal was threatened.
This was Redwood's last game of
the season and they wanted to beat
ST. Peter but they couldn't do it. The
Seniors playing for Redwood gave all
they had to have a victory. "Tobe"
Wilcox played real game. He was
in every play and was battling from
whistle to whistle.

"Tobes" example and stopped ST.
Peter for a loss time after time.
Schroeder played good game while
he was in and made some good tack
les.
"Tobe", "Tick" and Schroeder have
probably played their last game of
football for Redwood High and they
gave all to win at ST. Peter. They
say maybe they will come back! Lets
hope they do!
Redwood ends played a good game
anG few plays got outside of them.
The rest of the line played tight
game also as could be seen by the
fact that st. Peter only made three
first downs during the whole game.
The backfield was working good, they
always hit the holes and they hit
hard. Manning played a great game
for Redwood.
All those that had been out to prac-
tise regularly were taken along.
Those making the trip were: Wester,
Reynolds, Byington, Englund, Will
cox, Schmid, Cole, Corbet, Manning,
Jueneman, Jackson, Inglis, Whittet,

Survey of the State of Minnesota.
The Mississippi River drains over
half of the state while the rest is
drained by the Red and Rainy Rivers
and Lake Superior. The Mississippi
River can be navigated. There are
boat lines on several of the larger
lakes in the state.
The lowest point Of the state is
along the shores of Lake Superior,
602 feet above the sea level; the Mis-
sissippi River in the southeast: corner
of the state has an elevation of GIG
feet. The highest point in the state
are the Misqvah hills in Cook county
and the Mesaba range, being about
2,40O feet in elevation.
The valley of the Mississippi River
from Lake Pepin southwark is several
miles wide, being enclosed by bluffs
several hundred feet high. The basin
of the Minnesota river is slightly
undulating valley about a thousand
feet in elevation. The Coteau des
Prairies in the southwestern part of
the state has an elevation of about
1900 feet.
Owing to the northern location, the
winters are rather cold, without thaws
but with plenty of sunshine on the
average, the precipitation being rath-
er scant throughout the winter
months. The summer days are long,
with a rainfall varying from 80 inches
in the eastern part to 20 inches in the
western. The lakes, forests, and
northern location combine to give
Minnesota cool summers with delight
full cool nights.
About one half the surface of the
land on the west and south of the
state is rolling prairie interspersed
with frequent groves. The soil is a
fine black loan mostly derived from
limestone and is very fertile. The
state is covered with glacial drift,
the many lakes which are found in
all sections being formed by glacial
moraines. The Red River valley pro-
duces large wheat crops. The swamp
lands are being drained and form rich
agricultural lands. More than three
fourths of the state can be cultivated
and more than one-half Of the state is
in farms. The lands which can not be
cultivated lie mostly in the iron re-
gion. in the northern part. Corn is
a very extensive product and is class
ed as the states major crop which
naturally makes livestock production
an important industry as much of the
corn is fed within the borders of the
state. The approximate yearly pro-
auction of some of the crops in>cerms
of value taken from the best sources
of information available are:
