Phone Companies
Have Meetings
BOTH RURAL AND CITY CON-
PANIEs HELD ANNUAL MEET
INGS TUESDAY, JANUARY Is.

Tuesday afternoon of last week was
the day of telephone meetings, both
the Redwood County Rural Telephone
Company and the Redwood Falls Elec-
trio Company having their annual
meetings on that day. The Rural
Company met at the courthouse with
a fair representation of its several
hundred stockholders, and the meeting
of the City Company, at the Com
mercial Club rooms, was also well at
tended by those financially interested
in the Company.
The Rural Company decided to pay
no dividend, it being the judgment OF
the stockholders that the five per cent
dividend suggested by the Board of
Directors night well be made an emer-
gency reserve fund. The same Board
was reelected with the exception of
N. L. Quesenberry who is a new MEM
Der taking the place of w. w. Carlisle.
Officers of this Company are, d. r.
McCorquodale, president, ]. M. Little,
vice president, A. M. Dennistoun, Sc
cretary and Andrew Olson, treasurer.
The other members of the directorate
are L. j. Lindeman, H. Dreyer, N. L.
Quesenberry, VIM. Raveling and j. S.
Gunelson. Bert Kleaver, who has
served most efficiently as manager for
the past several years will remain in
the service. The year just past was
a good one in the Company's business,
due to the excellent work of Mr..
Kleaver and the able assistance he
was given by the officers. The ser
vice has been improved and the financ-
es of the Company bettered.
No changes were made in the direc-
torate nor officers for the City Com
pany, this Board consisting of Rud
Stensvad, president, C. F. Gales, vice
president, A. D. McRae, secretary, r.
A. Cooper, treasurer, G. A. Jaehning,
j. w. Inglis and A. r. A. Laudon.
VIM. A. Keil will continue his work as
manager.
This Company declared a cash div
idend of six per cent. This is the first
dividend since the reorganization of
the Company several years ago, all the
proceeds of the Company prior to this
time going to pay for the new building
and for the installation of the auto
matte service system which gives Red
wood Falls a telephone service un-
equaled by any other city of this size
in the State of Minnesota. The City
is more than gratified at the service
this Board has given by installing this
new system, and naturally the stock
holders are gratified that the invest
ment is now paying an excellent rate
of interest. Much may be said for the
economy and efficiency practiced by
Mr.. Keil and his assistant Miss Mollie
Joern as well as for the able direction
given by the Board.

CAMPUS DEDICATED SUNDAY
BY BISHOP CHARLES BURNS.

Among the great enterprises that
the Centenary movement of the Met
hodist Episcopal Church has helped 70
undertake in the last two years is the
building of plant for the work of the
Wesley Foundation at the University
of Minnesota. The Wesley Founda-
tion is the corporate name under which

nesota is Incorporated with a Board
of Trustees representing the Methodist
Conferences of the state, the Methodist
Board of Home Missions and Church

York. The First Methodist Church,
the oldest organization of this denomi-
nation in Minneapolis, being located
nearest the University, was chosen by
the general Boards of the Church for
this special work First Church has
sold all of her property and the money
is being invested in the equipment of
the Foundation Hall This congrega-
tion now becomes the working force of
the University Methodist Church.
The first three floors of the first
unit of the Foundation plant are near
ing completion; and the Hall will be
dedicated Sunday, January %, at 3
p. NJ. Bishop Charles Wesley Burns
of the Helena Area, formerly pastor
of Hennepin Avenue Methodist Church,
will officiate. There will also be an

ing capacity of six hundred, large lob
by and library, and Church School
class rooms. The second floor consists

religious education. The whole unit,
when completed, will form the wing of
the sanctuary proper, which will be
built in the near future
The present building cost about
$4,000 and is fire proof throughout.
The completed plant will probably cost
100000 and will rank among the best
of projects of it's kind in the United

Morton Plays
Company |
VISITORS BEAT BY TWO POINTS
IN TUESDAY NIGHTS GAME;
SCORE 44-42.

In a hotly contested, rough and
tumble game the Morton team won
from the local Company l. five, 44-42
on Tuesday night. Mason was the in
dividual Redwood star and Gaasch
playde in the lime light for Morton.
Not foul was called throughout the
game on either side so the reader can
imagine what the fourth quarter was
like. The final score was tie, 1888
and Morton made three and Redwood
two baskets, in the extra five minute
period.
interesting. Mason did most of the
scoring but Zeimer and Martin drop
ped in basket apiece. Gaasch of Nor
ton did not play this quarter and Nor
ton didn't show up much. The quart
er ended 14-6 in Redwood's favor.
The second quarter both sides pick
ed up speed and the game was quite
interesting. Castle of Morton made
some good shots as did Gaasch, but
Martin, Mason, and Zeimer cut loose
and rolled in Ia more points. Half
ended 28-14 with Redwood off the top
end
The second half was whirl wind.
Castle and Gaasch made basket after
basket and Redwood seemed to have
lost their stride. Morton slowly gain
ed on the increasing Redwood score
and when the final whistle blew the
score stood 1888. Both teams rested
for five minutes and then they went
to it to decide the winner. Castle took
the ball on the tip-off and tossed it to
Gaasch who was wide open in the corn
er. He shot perfect basket. On the next
tip-of Zeimer bounced long pass to
Mason who slipped in nearly impos-
sible shot. The score again tied,
neither side did much for a couple of
minutes and then Gaasch speared two
from the center of the floor. Mason
made another but Redwood couldn't
find the ring to tie the score. Final
score 44-42 with Redwood in Morton's
camp.
The game was exceedingly rough
and resembled football game more
than basketball game. The Morton
referee gave Morton slight edge on
out of bounds and held ball.
The line up: Mason, L. F.; Zeimer,
R. F.; Martin, c.; Shores, L. G.; Zorn,
r. G. Field goals: Redwood; Mason
IL, Zeimer 5, Martin A. Morton; Cas-
tie Z, Carruth 4, Gaasch 8, Greenslit 2.
Referee; Greenslit of Morton.

Sleepy Eye Next

The local High School team, smart
ing under the defeat suffered at the
hands of Tracy, will play the speedy
Sleepy Eye five here Friday evening
at eight o'clock. Redwood Falls de-
feated Morgan by score of 35-18 and
Morgan tied Sleepy Eye. The Red
wood Falls lads held New Ulm to a
close score while Sleepy Eye and New
Ulm played an even game. A speedy,
hard-battled game will result when
these two teams mix Friday night.
1t is Redwood's only chance to gain
the district championship, so the boys
will play their absolute best. Come
out and support the lads! They are
worthy of all the support their town
can give them.

&C. Artefburn'S
Order Reversed
REDWOOD COUNTY WAS NOT
EMPLOYER IN DAMAGE SUIT;
SAYS SUPREME COURT.

The Supreme Court recently revers-
ed the decision of Judge /. M. Olsen
of the Ninth Judicial District in the
case of C. C. Arterburn VS.. the County
of Redwood.
This case grew out of injuries re-
ceived by Coyle C.. Arterburn while
hauling gravel for state road building
in the winter of 1921. w. c.. Wilson
was one of those hired by the County
to do this hauling. He, in turn, en-
ployed Arterburn to haul for him with
his (Wilson's) team While hauling
the gravel, Mr.. Arterburn was seri-
ously injured and later sued the
County of Redwood for damages re-
ceived, the contention being that he
was injured while working for the
County.
The case was tried in the District
Court Of Redwood County and the
plaintiff was given damages to the
amount of about five hundred dollars.
His attorney was A. R. A. Laudon of
Redwood Falls and the defense was
represented by Attorney Morton Bar
rows of Saint Paul who was an at
torney for the Workmen's Compensa-
tion Insurance Company with which
Redwood County is insured.
The case was appealed by the de-
fense to the Supreme Court and under
date of Januzry 10 an opinion was
filed reversing the Redwood County
Court. This opinion holds that Ater-
burn was an employe of Wilson and
not of the County, and therefore was
not entitled to compensation from the
County. Justices Taylor, Holt and
Hallam of the Supreme Bench were
the dissenting judges in the reversal,
their judgment upholding that of the
lower court.

Red Cross Helps
IN Many Ways
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY RE-
PORTS ON WORK DONE BY
COUNTY CHAPTER.
(By F. Lucille Joscelyn)


Reports are not quite complete on
the Roll Call but we know that Red
wood County has gone way beyond its
last year record. Every town that
has reported so far reports a good in
crease on last years membership. In
Redwood Falls Branch we have at last
report of 1926 annual members and six
contributing memberships making a
total received of 1856. The little town
of Milroy is reporting membership
of about 100. We had some real live
and interested workers in nearly every
branch and the results are surely
gratifying. Another year we must do
still better.
Christmas was made happier for
children in about forty of our poor
county families by the work Of the
Red Cross in the various branches and
by the work of the Junior Red Cross.
Seven of the branches did some very
definite planning for Christmas. LAM
berton sent twelve Christmas boxes to
soldiers at Walker Sanitarium and also
sent treats and toys to children in
twelve families. In Redwood Falls the
Christmas giving was handled by CEN
tral committees, members of which re-
presented the various churches. There
was wonderfully generous response
to the invitation which was sent out
to those interested in helping and the
giving was so planned that there
should be no duplicating of efforts and
so that every family who were in any
way unfortunate should be remember
ed. Splendid dinners, treats and toys
were sent out to fifteen such families.
Practically all the toys sent out were
made by the Junior Red Cross in the
rural and semi-graded schools. The
youngsters did wonderfully we'll with
the material which they had at home
and school. Besides furnishing the
toys for the children in our own county
the Juniors also sent a generous box
to Phalen Park to help make Christ
mas happier for the crippled children
who had to spend their Christmas
away from their own homes. One
Sunday School Class in Redwood Falls
spent one evening and some time in
their homes renovating old toys and
making them look new and attractive.
During the month of December the
Executive Secretary worked on claims
for 81 ex-service men. During the
2 iuO1Cu ScVcH IcW CldlIuS were IllCu
they being mostly for dental treat
ment. Seven disabled men have re-
cesved examinations and hospitaliza-
tion.
The executive secretary has. also
worked on 20 Child Welfare Cases dur
ing the month, of which five were new
ones. Some perplexing problems have
been solved and we hope happily so
by the assistance of Child Welfare
Boards in other counties. In one case
the parents of an apparently neglected
child were m de to see what they could
do for their shild and as a result the
child received the care he needed The
problems may be classified as follows:
Delinquent 6
Unmarried Mothers --l- 2

Tracy Beats in
fridays Game
VISITORS TAKE BEST END OF
SCORE OF 25-12; Play SLEEPY
EYE NEXT FRIDAY.

In the Second District Conference
game, played at the Armory Friday
night the Tracy High team walked
over the local High School 25-12. Red
wood was decidedly off color and play
ed like eighth graders. Although they
played slightly in hard luck on basket
shooting their team work was of the
poorest.
Tracy shooting basket from directly
under the net. This was followed by
free throw. A few minutes later
Webb enclosed beautiful running
shot and Tracy had a FIVE point lead.
Root dropped in nice basket from
past the free throw line and the first
quarter ended So.
In the second quarter Redwood
showed some form and Peavey rolled
in one nice basket and few minutes
later speared another. Tracy picked
up also and Rawlings and Webb circled
the ring for two baskets and another
free throw. The half ended 10-6 with
Tracy on top and Redwood having
played their best quarter.
The second half was supreme walk
away. Webb, Peterson and Rawlings
slipped in basket after basket and it
seemed as if they could not be stopped.
The final check up found the totals .at
25-12. Redwood made many substitu-
tions but couldn't find suitable COM
bination. The men seemed all tagged
out while Tracy was just getting
warmed up. Peavey and Cain seemed
to work well at forwards and Cain
nj l.l
Peavey attempted seven free throws
and had clean slate. The ball hit
the back side of the rim on every shot
Redwood used bombardment of long
shots the second half which was un-
successful because of hard luck.
This game queers Redwood's chances
for the District championship unless
they trim Sleepy Eye here next Friday

MUSICIAN TALKS
TOSONGLEADERS
Wesley LaViOlette Tells of
Opportunities for Com
munity Singing.
PRACTICE DIRECTING

There is an enormous opportunity
for community song directing in Keno
sha," said Wesley LaVioiette in
an informal talk last evening before
the members of the Music Institute,
which met in its third session at the
Washington school. "Kenosha has long
been in need of just such an. organiza-
tion as you have here" he continued,
"and / have come to realize 1T more
and more, through my musical enter
prises in your city. There are, of
course, many difficulties to this kind Of
work, but these can be overcome by the
right spirit of enthusiasm on the part
Of the worker. The organization of
chorus, for instance, is made difficult
by people who say they can not help
because they have had no training. /
say that it is greater service to the
community to get this kind of people
into your musical organization than it
is to induce professionals to join it.
Foreign Element Factor.
Gin Kenosha music promoters some
times despair of success, because Of
the large foreign element" said Mr..
LaViolette, "bat I have found that the
European is inherently musical and
that he respondssmore quickly to mu-
steal stimuli than our native born
Americans usually do"
Mr.. LaViolette gave some examples
from his own experience Of song di-
recting, which were inspirational to
.:he members of the institute. "In the
technique of direction" he said, sex
perienee is more valuable than count
less lectures on the subject. To have
the purpose of making music universal,
putting it into the families of the COM
munify, is to start something definite
in the. progress Of civilization. Start
people at any sort Of music which will
attract their interest and as they de-
velop their appreciation they will de-
sire the better sort. In this way you
should always hold before you the ideal
of creating 9 love for music in every
individual with whom you come in con-
tact There is no reason why KenOsha
cannot be known as musical town"
Conducts Demonstration.
Following the talk by Fir. baNloletLe,
G. E. Bickford, instructor of the class.
gave practical demonstration Of song
directing and put his class through the
PAGES of beating time in response to
various rhythms. w. A. Schroeder and
Mr.. LaViolette accompanied the songs
on violin and piano. Plans are being
made by the institute to have Fred
Carberry of milwaukee, the noted lead
er of community sings, to come to Ku-
nosha and demonstrate his methods
and his technique Of directing.

HONOR MISS MALoNEY.
Friendship Bible Glass Gives Part

Friendship Bible Glass Gives Party
at Park Avenue M. E. Church.
The assembly rooms of Park Ave
nue. M. E. church were a fairyland
setting Monday night for a party
which was given for Miss Nellie Ma
loney by remembers of the Friend
ship Bible class. Clusters of pink
roses were the dominant note in q
charming decorative motif of pink and
green. There were baskets and vases
of the roses and ferns, table center
pieces of the roses, pink, shaded can
dies, lights hooded in crinkly pink
paper and trellises of pink blossoms
Sixty-fve celebrants gathered to
honor Miss Maloney. They arranged
the party as an expression Of appre-
citation for tireless services to the
class through several years. She is
a past president and was at one time
instructor.
The festivities started at eight
o'clock with a program of musical and
recitative numbers Then there were
merry games, and mirth- provoking
stunts for which awards we're pre-
scented. At eleven O'Clock supper was
served, and Mrs. Thomas Hall, pres
ent teacher, gave q brief talk. Miss
Maloney was presented with a bou-
quet of pink rose-buds.
Arrangements for the affair were
made by the following committee:
Mrs. Walter Ernst chairman; Mrs
Frank Symmonds, Mrs. E. E. Brena-
man, Mrs. Edward Shepard, Mrs. Will
liam Stevens, Mrs. William Pedley
and Mrs William Neff.
