Fats and Leans
to Play Ball
GAME TO BE PLAYED AT ARM
DRY NEXT THURS. EVE. FOR
BENEFIT OF BOOK FUND.

Under the auspices of the American
Legion of Redwood Falls the Fat 5
and Leans will play ball at the arm
ory next Thursday evening, the pro-
ceeds of the play to be given to the
Redwood Falls public library for the
immediate purchase of books. An
admission fee of thirty-five cents for
adults and twenty-five cents for chill
dren will be charged, and the patron
age of every "good sport" in town is
asked. In this particular being a
good sport does not necessarily mean
that one must be basketball fan-It
means rather that one must have the
willingness to assist in good cause.
The Leans are numerous and the
Fats are more numerous one man,
This means fifteen Leans working
under the able direction Of the-strenu-
Gus ST. Clement and sixteen Fats cap
tanned by the rotund c. NJ. Showalter.
Dignity will be leant to the occasion
by Mrs. T. E. Finn who will present
the handsome trophy won by the
Leans last year, to the winning team.
The Mike Lauterbach gang will fur
nish the music for the evening. Rex
Miller and Chauncey Welch are time
keepers, and an effort will be made
by the Lean man this year to see that
time is not unlawfully extended ten
minutes, as it was last year, in order
that the Fats might have chance to
catch up. VIM. Carity, Vice Com
mander of the Legion, will act as
scorer if he has anything to score.
Mr.. Hoffert is referee, and may all
the little gods that protect the un-
protected be with him! The library
board will be present IN body to
carry home the proceeds!

Lecture Course
Earns Money
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS BAL
ANCE AND EIGHTY DOLLARS
FOR NEW BOOKS is RECORD.

The concluding number of the Red
wood Falls Lecture Course was given
by the Marion Male quartet last Wed
nesday evening. S. E. Hargis, chair :
man of the committee, gave short
statement of the financial results of
the season. This statement showed
that the net proceeds of the course are
about hundred, eighty dollars. Of
this amount one hundred dollars will
be held in reserve for future courses
and eighty dollars will be given to
the Public Library for the purchase
of new books. The financial outcome
is very gratifying to all concerned.
The Marion Quartet presented a
splendid entertainment and an un-
usually large audience was present
to enjoy it. Many were of the opinion
that this program was the best pre-
sented during the entire season. AL
though some disappointment was ex-
pressed, that the Quartet did not
render a few more serious and classic
numbers, the program given was re-
ceived enthusiastically. Those who
heard this group of young men last
year were delighted with the results
attained by the addition of another
artist to the former trio.
The marimbaphone numbers were
entirely novel in their execution and
the saxaphone melodies showed dis
tinctive ability along this line. As
an orchestra, in two numbers the play
ers presented something entirely new
and their method of handling popular
pieces was worthy of note. Piano
logues and monologues were pleasing
ly presented and the vocal solos of
Mr.. Harold Dodds were wonderfully
we'll given, showing the fine voice Of
this young man.

Clague to Present
Wheat Grade Bill.

Modification of the federal grades
for spring wheat will be proposed in
bill to be introduced soon by Repre-
sentative Frank Clague of Minnesota.
The measure will follow the lines of
one pressed in the 67th congress by
Representative Halvor Steenerson OF
Minnesota. The Stevenson bill never
was pushed because the department
of agriculture asked time to make a
study of conditions with a view to
making the requested changes.
Mr.. Clague said spring wheat far
mers have come to the conclusion they
will get no relief from the depart
ment of agriculture on the grades qu-
estion and have asked him to cham
pion bill for them in congress.

to Be
Better Housed
FAIR BOARD DECIDES POULTRY
EXHIBIT SHALL HAVE NEW
HOME ON GROUNDS.

The directors of the Redwood Coun
tv Agricultural Society met one eve
ming last week to discuss plans for
the big fair of 1924. The attendance
Of beard members was almost one
hundred per cent and much construc-
tive discussion took place.
1t is the unanimous opinion of Board
members that new poultry exhibit
hall is a necessity and the decision
to erect one for use the coming fall
was made. Plans for this building
and it's location will be announced
somewhat later. There was also con-
siderable discussion of the best met
hod of enlarging the grandstand to
meet the needs of the increasing
crowds. This matter was left for
consideration at later meeting, and
the decision hinges somewhat upon
what the financial prospects of the
Society are later in the season.
The proposal to move the racing
stables to the east side of the tracks
was also taken up and found favor
with the majority of the board. This
change would greatly increase the
space to be devoted to the fair proper
and may be found entirely feasible
at a little later date.

Methodist Church
DediCateS Balcony
SUNDAY MORNING s. VICE
MARKED BY FORMAL DEDICA-
TTON OF NEW ADDITION. y

The balcony recently built in the
Methodist Church was formally dedi-
Gated with appropriate services Sun
days morning. The new addition
which greatly increases the beauty OF
the interior as well as the seating
capacity, has been in use for several
Sundays and the use being made of
it justifies it's erection. The structure
complete with~chairs and floor cover
ing cost S2,243.38 and this sum has
all been paid.
The first part of the service of de-
dication consisted of a short talk by
A. B. Hawes who told how the need
for the balcony first formed in the
mind of W. R. Roberts and later was
accepted by several others who realiz-
ed that the capacity of the church
was somewhat limited. Mr.. Hawes'
report took the activity of the COM
nittee up to the time of the last an
nual conference and from there until
the completion of the balcony the
story was told by F. w. Stanton. In
his talk Mr.. Stanton spoke of the
painstaking work done by the build
ing committee and especially of the
work done by A. C. Burmeister who
personally superintended the work in
every detail, this careful supervision
being largely responsible for the ex-
cellent results obtained for the com
paritively small expenditure OF
money. A. j. White gave a short fin
ancial statement of the balcony fund,
this fund having been paid by indiv-
idual subscriptions and without any
call upon the regular budget of the
church. W. B. Clement was instru-
mental in collecting much of this
money, he having this matter ii
charge after the soliciting committee
had turned in the list of sums sub
scribed. Modesty prevented Mr.
White from stating fact wellknown
to those who had been connected with
this collection, this fact being that
he himself was in very large mea-
sure responsible for generous share
of the collections. those from the coun-
try districts being especially his
charge. 1t is worthy of note aist
that the number of donations from
! the country members was larger II
proportion than from the city res,
/ dents.
| Rev. Paul L. Grove closed the ser
vice with few remarks about th'
value of the balcony and its slgnlfi
canoe as a symbol of cooperation
withinssfle church. In conclusion tn
service ofededication was read fren
the church ritual.

Sleepy Eye
Defeats Locals
REDWOOD LOSES GAME AFTER
STRING OF SEVEN VICTORIES.
DISTRICT MEET FRIDAY.

Last Friday night the Redwood bas-
keteers journeyed to Sleepy Eye to
meet their first defeat in eight games
straight at the hands of the Indian
Head quint. A good crowd of Red
wood fans attended the contest, most
of them going down in cars. The pre-
liminaries were played by New Ulm
and Comfrey, New Ulm capturing the
bacon in fast game.
Redwood was not playing up to her
usual form Friday and the fact that
the battle was staged on Sleepy Eyes
floor did not help matters any. The
glass backboards in the Sleepy Eye
gymnasium are the Waterloo of any
team accustomed to using wood back
boards in its game. Sleepy Eye was
going strong and the manner of her
playing showed what constant prac-
tise will do to familarize team with
their own floor. The Yellow and
Black forwards sank shots from all
corners of the floor and the local lads
were left in the dust throughout the
first quarter.
The second round the Cardinal and
White pumpkin tossers staged come
back and sank two free throws, bring
ing the score up to IL and 3 at the
end of the half During the inter-
mission the team talked things over
and decided to shake it up a bit. In
the third quarter the lads came back
with the true Redwood form and rails
ed their own score to more respect
able level. Sleepy Eye was out for
blood, however and was not to be
run out of her last chance at Redwood.
The fourth quarter was riot, the
locals fighting hard but their oppOn-
ents staging a track meet up and
down the floor and sinking enough
shots to put them out of all danger
early in the quarter. The final whis-
7 tie sounded with Redwood on the
short end Of 2O-10 rating and the
Sleepy Eye, fans in frenzy of de-
light This game does not however
give Sleepy Eye the right to play Red
wood again to go to the tournament
. at New Ulm. This matter has al
ready been decided and the Yellow
and Black will have to content them
i. selves with the thoughts of wha;
]. might have been The tournament
will be held at New Ulm on Friday
March 7th and Redwood, New Ulm
Marshall and either Lake Benton OF
Tyler will battle to see who attend:
! the State tournament at Kenwooc
Armory in Minneapolis during tbs
week before Easter.

Company Team
TUESDAYS GAME ENDS 1928
IN FAVOR OF SOUTH
SIDERS.

Tuesday evening of last week tn
local Co. l.. basketball team fell prey
to Lamberton in a closely fought
game. The Co. started off in good
shape and completely outplayed the
Lamberton five the first half.
The first quarter was a walkaway
for Redwood. They allowed Lamber-
tor to make but one field goal and
that was in the first few minutes OF
play. Donlon was the individual point
getter for Redwood in this period.
When the quarter ended Donlon had
rolled in eight points for the CO.
while Lamberton's score registered
three.
The second quarter was played
faster by both sides and there was
also more scoring done. Lamberton
got away for several nice shots AMI
also made a foul goal Redwoods
scoring was scattered out more this
period. Donlon rolled in two and
Hoffert, Martin and Orth got one a
piece The score stood 1912 in favor
of Redwood at the end of the half.
The last half Lamberton came back
strong and steadily sneaked up on
Redwood until they were in the lead.
This half was somewhat rougher than
the first and poorer exhibition of
basketball was the result. Both
teams fought hard for what they got
but the Co. was found on the short
end of a 1928 score when the gong
sounded.

School Contracts
Let Wednesday
STRUCTURAL COSTS ABOUT $751;
100000. GENERAL CONTRACT
AWARDED MANkATO MAN.

Bids for the new grade school build
ing were considered by the Board of
Education at meeting last Wednes-
day, this meeting being attended by
a large number of contractors anL
others interested in this erection. By
careful elimination Of some OF the
semi-luxuirous features of the build
ing as first planned, the contracts
were finally let for the sum of S162,-
674. To this must be added architects
fees and the other incidentals cOntin-
gent upon such an undertaking. But
to the S175,000.00 bonds voted by the
school district is also to be added a
premium from the sale of the bonds
of about twenty-five hundred dollars,
and it is estimated that the State Aid
on the new building will be about four
thousand dollars. This means that
there is between ten and eleven th2a-
sand dollars above the cost OF the
building itself, on hand for the pur-
chase of equipment and supplies ana
the Board of Education will be ahle
TO stay within the amount Of bonds
voted. That they are able to do this
shows careful and thoughtful plan
ming. While some eliminations have
been made from the original plans
none of the essentials have been omit
ted and nothing is left undone at pre-
sent but what may be done at later
date when the district wishes it
In the meantime the city will have ii
the new building as complete and wei
equipped building as is to be founa
in any city in this SECTION of Minnesota
