Present Play to

AUDIENCE WE'D. EVE. SEC
OND PRESENTATION PLANNED.

"Lets Get Married, a comedy il
two acts, was presented Wednesda,
evening at the Redwood Falls arm
ory. The play was given under the
auspices of the ST. Veronica's Guild
of the Episcopal Church. A cast
composed of several of the men and
women of Redwood Falls was direct
ed by Ward Baldwin and the results
were gratifying in the extreme. The
attendance was pleasingly large anG
the proceeds Of the entertainment will
be used to decrease church indebt-
edness. So many requests have been
made for a second presentation, that
the cast is planning to repeat the per-
formance Thursday evening, Novem-
Der 18th.
The action of the play is center
ed around the fact that Professor
Maxwell Darlington, who must marry
at once or loose a considerable amount
of money has quarreled with Mar
jorie Miller, his fiancee, who has
gone abroad and has not been heard
from for some time. Jack Foster, a
critic who opposed the professors
last novel, but whose identity is un-
known to him, suggests that the pro-
fessor marry Goldie, his stenograph-
er, and divide with her the money
which he will receive from the will
of his uncle. The engagement is just
announced when Marjorie, returning
unexpectedly from her trip in Eu-
rope, bursts in upon the group. Her
pride wounded, she announces that
she also is married, much to the dis
may of Professor Darlington, who is
really still in love with her. Jack
Foster, who has been masquerading
as a minister, is accused of being

burglar who has lately escaped from

Girl Killed by
Jos. Schneider
of Springfield
MAYETTA BEILEN VICTIM OF
MAN WITH CROUCH AGAINST
HALLOWE'ENING;O OTHER CHILL
DREN INJURED BY SHOTS.

Jos. Schneider of Springfield shot
Mayette Beilen, a thirteen year old
girl of that village, last Friday night.
The child died about thirty minutes
after the shooting. Leighton Black
who was a member of the same Hal
lowe'en party as Mayette, was also
seriously injured by shots fired by
Schneider at the same time. Schneid-
er was taken to New Ulm and is now
in the Brown County Jail awaiting
his hearing in justice court which will
probably be held Wednesday morn
ing. 1t is probable that he will be
bound over to await the action Of
the Grand Jury. The coroner's in
quest found that Mayette Beilen met
her death by shots fired from shot
gun in the hands of Jos. Schneider
this verdict being brought in after
a brief session Saturday morning.
According to stories told by Spring
field residents, Schneider had for some
reason an antipathy for Halloween
merrymakes and had laid in wait at
his coal shed door with a shot gun
from seven o'clock until shortly af-
ter eleven when the party of children
passed up through his alley. AS
near as has been learned the party
made no pretense of going to the
Schneider residence but as they pass
ed the door Schneider fired, the full
charge hitting the girl in the back,
neck and head, one shot perforating
her lungs. The second shot fired by
Schneider hit her boy companion who
is reported to have fourteen shots in
his hip and thigh. Other members
of the little company, all young boys
and girls, are said to have been in
jured more or less by the scattering
shot.
AS the girl fell Schneider rushed
to her and picked her up, carrying her
into his home and summoning medical
aid. She died within thirty minutes
of the time she was shot and the man
who killed her then carried her corpse
to her mother, Mrs. Anton Beilen.
Feeling in Springfield was very strong
against Schneider, and to avoid fur
ther tragedy he was taken out of
town Immediately following the in
quest and to the County Jail at New
Ulm. He apparently has made no
effort to evade the consequences of
his crime. He is the father Of eight
children and is at present working on
the section at Springfield. He form
erly kept a soft drink parlor in
Springfield and within the past year
had his license revoked. He is adj
dicted to moonshine although resi-
dents of Springfield believe he was
not under the influence of liquor at
the time of the shooting. His long
dicate that he was probably not drink
ing the evening of the tragedy.
The burial service for the dead girl
was held at the Methodist Church at
Springfield Tuesday afternoon and in
terment was made there.

ArmOry Audience
Hears Trio of
Splendid Talks
CONGRESSMAN CLAGUE, MRS.
ERB AND SENATOR HAYCRAFT
ADDRESS MEETING THURS
DAY NIGHT.

Three strong talks were given at a
Republican rally held at the armory
Thursday evening of last week when
Congressman Clague of Redwood
Falls, Mrs. Erb of Minneapolis and
Senator j. E. Haycraft of Fairmont
spoke on several matters of great
prediction interest. The meet
ing was held under the auspices
of the Redwood County Republican
Committee. A group of songs by the
Girls Glee Club under the direction
of Miss Opal Geibler, and music by
the D. O. 0. K. Band of Lamberton
were features which added much to
the pleasure of the occasion. The
meeting was attended by between
three hundred and four hundred men
and women, and much interest was
manifest.
Mr.. Clague, the first speaker, was
introduced by his tOwnsman H. A.
Baldwin. The Second District Con-
gresham spoke of the contrast be-
tween conditions in the United States
and in Europe. He also pointed out
that the Europeans who are clamoring
to get into the country and are held
back only by the immigration laws,
recognize the advantages of living
in America much more than do the
discontented in this country. Giving
some interesting and authentic figures
on the reduction of the national debt
Mr.. Clague showed that if the nation
proceeds to reduce this debt in the
future as it has been reduced in the
past three years, the nation will be
free from debt within the next thirty
five years. He also spoke briefly on
present prices of farm products, bas-
ing his prophesy that these high prices
will continue, on the fact that Can
adian and Argentine crop condition
are poor and that the demand for
American, products is bound to be
good. Mr.. Clague's talk, backed by
his record for straight thinking and
for conservatism made a big appeal
to his audience.
Mrs. Erb, the second speaker, spoke
on the inconsistency of an alliance be-
tween the farmer and the laborer
and urged her listeners to see
that every person opposed to So
cialism and radicalism votes at the
Tuesday election. She also spoke on
the constitutional amendments and on
other ballots for this election.
Senator Haycraft, the last speaker
of the trio, spoke at length and very
forcefully upon the needs of preserv-
ing the constitution in it's fundam-
entails, speaking especially for the Bill
of Rights. He. gave an interesting
and instructive resume of several can
didates and what effect their election
would have upon the status of the
Constitution as the foundation for
United States law Mr.. Haycraft
spoke definitely and decisively against
the election of the farmer-labor can
didates, showing conclusively that

''FineS and Jail
for BOOtIeggers"
Says Judge
GRAND JURY INDICTS EIGHT;
SIX GUILTY OF BREAKING
LIQUOR LAWS; COURT RE-
SUMES TODAY.

The first week of the October term
of District Court proved DISASTROUS to
the bootleggers and others who ap-
peared before Judge I. M. Olsen after
being indicted by the Grand jury on
liquor charges. Arthur Knapp was
indicted on a selling charge on two
counts, pleaded guilty and was given
a fine of a hundred and fifty dollars
and a Jail sentence of sixty days for
each charge, the second Jail sentence
to begin at the expiration of the first.
George Schultz, Joe Sevet and Joe
Mahal all pleaded guilty to selling
charges and were each given a fine Of
one hundred fifty dollars and sixty
day sentence. Chris. Peterson, ar
rested for maintaining a nuisance,
was fined a hundred dollars. Carl
Balfany whose case was of somewhat
longer standing, pied guilty and was
sentenced to pay hundred fifty dol
lars and serve sixty days. The Grand
Jury returned eight indictments. Emil
Smith, indicted on statutory charge
will plead Wednesday morning when
court is resumed following the vaca-
tion taken for Election Day. Judge
Olsen adjourned court Friday morn
ing until Wednesday morning. A
number of cases remain for trial
this week.
The civil case first tried was that
of the Farmers and Merchants State
Bank of Morgan against C. B. HUI
schke of Morgan. The verdict render
ed was no cause for action. In the
case of the same bank against Julius
Zamzow and others the jury brought
in verdict for the plaintiff. In the
case of Athanas Henle against John
w. Woolley and others, a judgment for
the plaintiff was ordered. The case
of Hackette, Gates, Hurry Company
against the State Bank of Milroy was
dismissed by the plaintiff. In the
matter of the Appeal Of Chas. E. Oh
son from an order of the County Board
establishing School District No. 116
the matter was dimissed by the court
on motion of the defendant on the
ground that the County Board had no
jurisdiction in the matter.

GAME PROMISES TO BE A
THRILLER; BOTH TEAMS pow
ERFUL AND BOTH SET FOR
VICTORY.
(By Wild Rice)

The local high school football war
riors will tangle with the snappy
Sleepy Eye eleven here on Armistice
Day. Sleepy Eye has an enviable re-
cord this season as has the Cardinal
and White. Being scheduled for
Armistice Day will give many fans
an opportunity to get out and back
up the squad. The boys are rarin,
to even up matters with Sleepy Eye
as they nicked Redwood Falls last
year for 60 count. This game will
be big part of the Armistice Day
program planned by the American
Legion.
Last Saturday DIR. Inglis took nine
teen of the Redwood squad to view
the Minnesota Michigan game as his
guests. This Saturday the boys will
be idle.

THE REAL CULPRITs

Georgia is pecking away at
road system that will require
100 years for accomplishment
Politics, like the old man of the
sea, is grappled about its neck.
Her public school system posi-
bly, could be worse but we doubt
it, politics to the right Of us and
politics to the left of US, and on
ward we blunder. How long.
o Lord how long? Twenty years
more of this and we will be hope
lessly distanced. Placing the
blame is not difficult. The peo-
pie themselves are the real Gull
prits. They take a day to de-
eide what make of automobile
they want and no time at all to
pass upon the qualifications of
a candidate for public office. A
banker will give plenty of
thought to making a 500 loan
and careiessly vote for a man
who will spend thousands.-Cor-

If we could get Georgia IN

Georgia to others. We are proud

Georgia land. Our children in

Of other lands and the worth Of
other states.

SOUTH GEORGIA'S MANY
MONEY CROPS

Consider South Georgia. In
this section of the state there are
so many crops-crops that not
only can bring but are bringing,
in increasing volume, cash to the
farms of this favored section
that to neglect them seems al
most ecriminal. Some of them
are eash-producers every month
i'm the year, and there is not
farm in all South Georgia that
cannot, with proper management,
have cash flowing in from Jan
uary to ecember without inter
ruption.
Consider this list of South
Georgia money crops: Peanuts,
Hay, Pecans. Corn. Small grain
Hogs. Chickens and eggs. Milk
and cream from the small dairy
herd. Beef cattle. Tobacco
Watermelons. Sweet potatoes.
Truck. Syrup. Peaches Nor are
these all.
And there is not farm in all
South Georgia on which soil and
other conditions do not permit of
an intelligent combination Of
enough of these crops to make
that farm prosperous and indie
pendent-provided of course, the
farmer plans intelligently and
works industriously. Albany

ton of marriage felicity.
AS an expert, his advice
should be carefully taken by
those who should be most in
terested. This expert has sum-
med up 20 DON'TS for hus-
bands and wives. To the wife
he says
Don't nag. 1t gives men the
ear ache.
Don't let your house or your
self get untidy, A wife is
judged by the condition OF her
home.
Don't gossip about the neigh
bors' troubles.

Don't make catty remarks if he
snores. Be sympathetic.
Don't get millinery mania or

he likes pretty face IN your
presence.
Don't cabaret unless he is with
you.
Don't encourage relatives to
park at your house.
Don't crouch if he's late for
dinner. Smile bit.
And to him who once was
head of the household (before
the days Of bobbed hair, knick-
ers and the ballot) he advises
Don't be a tightwad. Treat
her like a sweetheart,
pon't be a killjoy. Make ev-
ery day a honeymoon.
Don't wait till she's dead to
send her flowers.
Don't take boarders, male or

He might have summed them
all up by saying to both: Play
the game fairly, remembering
that each has rights and privi-
leges; traverse life $ Faith hand in
hand, admiring the roses by the
wayside and sympathizing when
the thorn is found; find a hob
by that both may ride with
equal joy; take the Golden
Rule as guide and all will be
serene.
