Sen. Crawford
Gives Talk on
Constitution
EVENING AUDIENCE
HEARS SPLENDID ARGUMENT;
REP. C. M. BENDIXEN TELLS OF
CANDIDATES.

One of the strongest addresses ever
listened to by Redwood Falls audi
ence was that delivered by Sen. Coe
l. Crawford at the armory last Satur-
day evening under the auspices of
the Redwood County Republican Com
mittee. Rep. c. M. Bendixen made
a short address preliminary to Mr..
Crawford's talk. Judge A. C. Dol
lift of Redwood Falls presided at the
meeting which was attended by about
three hundred persons.
Sen. Crawford was formerly Unit
ed States Senator of South Dakota
and his, experience in Congress is of
inestimable assistance in giving him
thorough knowledge of political topics.
His address was in no sense talk on
party virtues and dealt wholly with
the Constitution of the United States.
The speaker started with vivid pic
ture of Colonial and pre-colonial his
tory in America, showing the early
need of the Constitution, its purpose
and it's accomplishment and leaving
no question in the minds of his listen
ers that it should be kept. inviolate.
He taught his audience, with grap-
hicness and clarity worthy of envy
by teachers in their class rooms, that
the Constitution is natural growth
born of necessity, progress bringing
about the unity of separate govern
ments and an everlasting indispensa-
BILE if America is to retain her place
among the nations. Without undue
oratory or eloquence but with force
fulness born of conviction based on
years of study of the historical de-
velopment of the United States, and
with profound belief that the Con-
stitution was achieved only because
God wished it to become the basis of
this government, Senator Crawford
delivered such an address as kept his
listeners taut with interest during
the two-hour talk and left them feel
ing that they had seen, many of them
for the first time, the living, throbbing
heart of this great document which
vitalizes the government of the Unit
ed States. Beyond any question the
speaker proved that the Supreme
Court as provided for in the Con-
stitution, must be kept on it's present
basis if the government is not to suf-
fer from having this body controlled
by the various factions as each shall
chance to be in power. To have heard
Mr.. Crawford was a privilege which
will never be forgotten by those att
tending the meeting.

bow of his own making, George w.

weapon as a boy scout several years
ago, shot five arrows and three took
effect. He made the expedition in

is THIS YOUR CHILD?

Many children by reason of having
bad and defective eyesight do moi
make the proper progress in school.
These defects are rarely discovered
without q complete examination by
an eyesight specialist, children who
do not progress in school, who are in
clined to play truant, have head
aches and stopped shoulders, hard TO
control, should by all means have
their eyes looked after at once.
The child who is slow to learn Is
ridiculed by his mates, censored by
the teacher, and blamed by the par
ent. Think what this is to a sensi-
tive child. 1t breeds dislike for
studies and hatred to all, and in
many cases leads to the Juvenile
court.
Bring the child in and let me make
an examination and / will tell Won

Y fitted glasses will make the child

In recent letter Dr. Spillman
said:
Il hope in this series of lectures
to give the farmers of the Inland
Empire my ideas of the future of
the various farm enterprises that are
adapted to that country. / want to
tell them What they may expect In
the matter of prices for wheat. L
want also to show them what the
probable future is for fruit growing
truck farming and the
various livestock enterprises, such as
1airying, beef cattle and sheep. also
poultry. l shall deal with the adapt
ability of these enterprises to local
conditions and point out the advan-
ages and disadvantages of each O |
hem. l shall also want to deal to |
ONE extent with the problems of |
soil fertility, for unless
hat is done, the agriculture of any
egion must ultimately fail"

 Population of. the city is increasing at rapid rate. one of the most gfat- flying features connected with the mak- ing of the survey by the Chamber of Commerce being the showing that only very few negro labOrers and mechan- ics have moved away from AHnistOn during the exodus to the north which has worried other industrial zones in the south. On the other hand. an ex- tra growth in population by the, in flow of negroes from other places .has been recorded recently in AnnistQn. while many new white families of the sub stantial kind have come into Anniston during the last few months.
 Housing facilities for new families are being improved each month and with the prospect of new industries to be located here during the year, it is -Tpected that great boom in popula- tion will be reported by the time ar- rives for the next annual survey of the NAnniston Chamber of Commerce.
