Pretty Shower

Miss Zelma Inune was the guest
of honor at a pretty party given at
the Presbyterian church, Friday af-
ternoon from three to five o'clock.
The hostesses of the occasion were
the members of the Mite Society and
the Westminster Guild and the guests
were the remaining members of these
two organizations. The affair was a
complete surprise to Miss Thune who
went to the church expecting to at
tend regular meeting of the church
societies and was there for some
little time before she realized the
suspicious nature of the decorations,
the program, etc. Readings were
given by Misses Hewitt and Nelson
and solos by Misses Iverson and
Ames. Following the program a de-
licious two course luncheon was serv-
ed by Mines. Smith, r. A, Cooper,

showered with a number of 'miscel-

Boys Win Big
in BeIvieW Game
SCORE OF 37-14 WON BY HIGH
SCHOOL TEAM IN GAME OF
WEDNESDAY EVENING.

<. Playing their best game of the
year the local High School ran
riot with eBlview at a 37-14 tune
at the Armory Wednesday evening.
Peavey was the individual Redwood
star with eight field goals and a free
throw. Manning starred on the de-
fense. The team as whole played
perfect basketball and pulled off some
spectacular plays.
The first quarter was practically
even although Redwood played the
best team work Peavey counted
three times from the field and Cain
made one nice basket. The quarter
ended S-S. Belview failed to score
the second round while Peavey drop
ped in three more under the basket
Manning and Root held Belvew down
to long shots at which they were not
very adept. The half was exceeding
ly fast and very exciting as no long
shots were made by the locals, who
played pretty passing game to great
advantage. The half ended l4-S in
Redwood's favor.
The second half Redwood continued
to pile up points while Belview con
tinued their almost fruitless attempt
at long shots. The second string
men finished up the game and played
the Belview lads off their feet. Near
ly the whole team scored one basket
apiece or more and ali displayed ex-
tra-ordinary team work. The final
count was 37-14 and Belview had suf-
fered its sixth consecutive defeat by
Redwood teams

Mrs. Gotlieb Kuenzli passed away
at her home here Friday evening
about eight o'clock, death following a
stroke of apoplexy early Thursday

gaining consciousness after this
stroke. Burial services were held at
the Methodist church Monday after
noon at two o'clock, Rev. Paul Grove,
pastor of the church in charge In
terment was made in the Redwood
Falls cemetery. The death of Mrs.
Kuenzli was not unexpected since she
had been in failing health for more
than two years, the stroke of last
Thursday merely Fastening the event
The deceased, who prior to her
marriage was Miss Mary Oline John
son, was born in Nicollet County,
Minnesota, April 10, 1864. In No
vember of 1884 she was married to
Albert j. Anderson and with him
came to North Redwood in 1887. To
this union two daughters were born,
these daughters now being Mrs. j. A.
Lindsay and Mrs. H. o. McPheeters
of Minneapolis.
In 1898 Mrs. Anderson married Mr..
Kuenzli and they came from North
Redwood to Redwood Falls in 1904
To them were born three children,
Ruby, George and Marion, who with
their father, survive their mothers
death. Besides the husband and
children Mrs. Kuenzli is survived by q
number of brothers and sisters many
of whom are known to the people of
this locality. These are Nj. B. John
son and Mrs. F. D. Currier of Nicol-
let, Mrs. Charles Kuenzli of North
Redwood, and f. F. Johnson, A. j.
Johnson, Mrs. III. w. Door, Mrs. F. G.

Pile attending the funeral services
were Mr.. and Mrs. Currier of Nicol-
let, Mrs. H. j. Currier and Miss Cur
rier of Mankato and DIR. H. o. Nc
Pheeters of Minneapolis.
Mrs.kuenzli was we'll beloved by
all who knew her and her death
leaves a wide gap in the circle of her
family and her many friends. Until

and Unworthy causes outside, doing
many things which proved her wo-
manliness and her worth That she
held high place in the esteem and

Agreed that automobile taxes must

roads program, legislative commit
tees at joint meeting virtually

net gain of $4,000 cars this year, re-

No increases will be made in taxes
on 82 out of every 100 cars register
ed in the state-those to take the $12
minimum on passenger cars and SIS
on trucks. But higher priced cars
may be taxed a fraction of one per

probably not up to the old personal

posed new law and efforts will be
made to correct other inequalities.
Proposals for rates based on weight,
usage and so forth, brought legal
ruling that the constitution limits the
basis to value. This may be broad

amendment at the next election.
Senate and house committeeman
were pfactically unanimous in the
opinion that automobile owners can
pay double the present taxes and
still make net profit on the use of
the improving highways. 1t was re-
peated that this use is worth $l2 a
year of any car owners money, and
those with expensive cars can afford
to pay larger sums to extend the bet

members agreed there was little COM

main exception Of cases where old

Last Lecture of
Season Given
HOMER c. BOBLITT GIVES AD-
DRESS ON "SMOULDERING
EMBERS" MONDAY EVE.

Homer C. Boblitt gave the fifth and
last number of the Lyceum Course,
Monday evening. His subject was
"Smouldering Embers", meaning the
perils and dangers in America as a
result of Bolshevism and it's false
principles. Mr. Bpblitt opened his
talk with several compliments to the
city about it's Lyceum Course and
the willingness of the people to buy
tickets and turn out.
In speaking of his experience
abroad, Mr.. Boblitt spoke well of
every nation except the Huns and
Russia. He was a member of the
339th Infantry that was sent to Rus
sia for nobody knows what reason.
The speaker gave vivid description
of the Arctic Sea and of Northern
Russia and it's inhabitants. In ex-
pressing his hatred for the Bolshe-
viks, he told of the many horrible
things that had been done while he
was there-children' limbs torn
from their bodies and their fathers
and mothers heads cut off; "All for
the reason that they (the victims) be-
lieved in God" as Mr.. Boblitt express
ed it. He stated that if Russia is
starving it is because of its Bolshe-
vik government, which believes that
there is no God, should be no law and
no order, and that they should not
work "As soon as this view is
changed, Russia will be prosperous
nation" said Mr.. Boblitt
On their journey home from Rus
sia the soldiers came along the coast
of Norway and Mr.. Boblitt gave a
most beautiful description of the
magnificent 0fjords and the northern
lights. He mentioned the Norwegi-
ans extensive use of electricity, it be-
ing as he said, cheaper to leave the
lights on all day, than to turn them
off" Many people have the idea that
the Scandinavian countries are very
far behind the times but according to
his description they are not.
Upon returning to this country
and finding the seeds of Bolshevism
buried in his own nation Mr.. boblitt
stepped upon the platform and has
travelled across the nation three times
in an earnest endeavor to help
stamp out what Bolshevism there ex-
lists in America.

: to Sleepy Eye
SLEEPY EYE WINS CHAMPION.
SHIP OF SUB DISTRICT IN
SATURDAY NIGHTS GAME

In the sub-district game between
Sleepy Eye and Tracy, played here
last Saturday night, Sleepy Eye won
1928. Green was the Sleepy Eye
star with five field goals and free
throws. This game gave Sleepy Eye
the championship of this sub-district
and the right to represent this sub
district at the District tournament at
Balaton. The winner of that tourna-
ment will go to the State Tourna-
ment, held the last of this month at
Minneapolis.
The first quarter was close, the
score ending 7-6 in Sleepy Eyes fav-
or. Webb and Olson of Tracy each
counted from the field and Peterson
put in two free throws in as many
tries. Green and Wilhite also spear
ed two field goals for Sleepy Eye and
Green made three free throws. Tracy
pulled off some speedy team work but
couldn't connect with the net after
they had worked the ball down the
floor. Sleepy Eye missed several
easy shots under the basket but made
couple of long ones.
The second quarter Sleepy Eye cut
loose and rolled in four field counters
and a free throw. Green dropped in
two from the center of the floor
after some spectacular dribbling.
Olson of Tracy sank one under the
net and Peterson counted three free
throws. Tracy outplayed Sleepy Eye
on the floor but couldn't find the ring.
Peterson missed cripple after cripple
under the ring and Webb muffed> sew
eral nice ones. The classy dribbling
and pivoting of Green, and the fol
lowing up of Wilhite kept Sleepy
Eye in the lead. The half ended 16-
IL with Sleepy Eye on Top. -
The second stanza Sleepy Eye
came back strong and counted four
field goals and free throw while
Tracy accounted for three field goals.
Peterson found the net for two after
missing several easy ones. Tracy
seemed to have slowed up and ap-
peared all in while Sleepy Eye was
as fresh as ever Tracy's fast pace
the first half began to tell on them
and Green's terrific dribbing attack
kept the Tracy bunch always on the
move. The third quarter ended 25-17
and Sleepy Eye still in the lead.
The last round Tracy counted three
field goals to Sleepy Eyes two but
