There are many attractive show
windows in Redwood Falls during this
season and one of the attractions
which is receiving considerable atten-
ton is quaint, handmade Christmas
tree in the window of the Lauterbach
Confectionery. This tree was made
forty years ago by Max Arndt, now
a resident of the Redwood Falls COM
munity,. who at the time. he made the
tree was lad Of fourteen living with
his parents in Germany. The branch
es are cleverly shaped of wood paint
ed green and each bears candle.
there being forty candles in ALL The
tree is topped by fan shaped wind
mill" fashioned of light weight wood.
So delicate is the adjustment of this
fan that when the candles are lighted
their heat revolves the fan, which in
turn revolves the tree. The tree
has been used for many. many years
in the Arndt family, first in the old
home in Germany and later by Mr..
Arndt's family in its own home here
in Minnesota. In fact it has been a
feature of the Arndt Christmas ever
since it was made until the past two
years when it has given way for the
more popular evergreen tree. Those
who have not examined the tree will
find it an interesting thing to see be-
fore it is removed from the Lauter-
bach window.

Handicapped by the loss Of several
players due to scholastic difficulties
the Redwood Falls High School Bas-
ket Ball team lost its first game to
Wabasso High School last Friday
evening on the latter's floor
Not being used to the small floor
on which there were no out-of bounds,
Redwood got away to a poor start
and at the end of the first quarter was
at the short end of ten to two score.
From there on the game was closely
contested until its close Only two
baskets were made in the second half:
one by each team, although Redwood
had the ball in Wabasso territory al
most all of the last two periods. The
score at the end of the game was fif-
teen to ten in favor of Wabasso.

afternoon presentation was attended
largely by young children and Older

was attended by crowd which pack

Butcher Boy. A chorus of very black
and very long legged cats added the
touch of comedy needed to make the
little operetta entirely delightful. All
characters We're well trained and the
entire production went with very
creditable smoothness. Miss Ruth
Cooper at the piano helped the small
vocalists greatly by her well played
accompaniment.
A very delightful part of the pro-
gram was the chorus singing with all
the children taking part. Especially
enjoyed were the singing of "a Let
ter to Santa Claus" by the children OF
the three lowest grades and the sing
ing of the old-time Christmas songs
including God Rest You Merry Gen
tlemen, 1t Came upon the Midnight
Clear, Hank the Herald Angels Sing

songs formed a fitting close to the
program. The high school orchestra
played before the program and at its
close.

DONTDON'TYOUR CHILDREN,

"Ethel, don't play SO hard. You will get all o~yerheated.
John, don't whistle all the time it gets on my nerves"
Haven't you sat on a summer hotel piazza and heard
similar donts from many over anxious, petulant nervous
mothers9
1t soon becomes a habit this .'don'ting'', and when it
does it not only loses it's effectiveness with the children, but
the mother loses the childrens respect and affection as well.
1t is bad enough when the children are Riddles to be
perpetualy "don ting them, but it is much worse when they
grow older. Don't you know mothers who keep it up, just
as necessarily then? Such a type of mother sends off her
young son who is just beginning to go out and call on the
girls with, CHOW remember, John, don't stay too late, don't
be too familiar and don't take Evelyn seriously. Don't go
and sit on the park benches, and above all don tell her how
much you think of her"
All good advice perhaps, but given at such an inoppor..
tune time and in such a tactless manner. By her don ting"
the mother has given some suggestions which the boy may,
unless he is a model boy and a perfect mothers darling, act
upon. No grown boy likes to be told in don't form what to
do. All of us rebel at swallowing bitter pills, but coat them
with a little sugar and they slip down easily. Then too, with
a young boy, and in fact everyone, what brings out our best
more than to have people place confidence in us.
Children need supervision, admonition and advice of
course, but vary the form. Don't always give it don'ts.
