Curtis Johnson
Frank Cldgue
Mrs. Albee ladd
TO SPEAK AT ARMORY THURS
DAY EVENING; LAMBERTON
BAND AND LADIES QUARTET
FURNISH MUSIC.

Plenty of good music and trio of
splendid speakers is the offering of
the Redwood County Republican Com
mittee for the final prediction meet
ing. This gathering will be held in the
Redwood Falls armory Thursday eve
ming, October 30th beginning prompt
ly at eight o'clock. Every citizen of
voting age is most cordially invited
to be present and to hear the big is
sues discussed in big way.
Curtis johnson, one of the trio, is
the president of the State Fair Board
and has a wide acquaintance with
state and national problems. He
is a speaker of splendid platform abb
lity, accustomed to speaking on many
and varied subjects and he is enthu-
satic as we'll as full of information
concerning many of the candidates on
whom Minnesotans must vote next
Tuesday, paying special attention to
the state officers. Mr.. Johnson was
defeated by Theodore Christianson in
the Republican primaries but good
sport that he is, he laid aside all dis
appointment and has, for the past
several weeks, been "stumping" for
his successful rival.
Mrs. Albee Ladd of Minneapolis, the
other out-of-town speaker who will be
present is a woman speaker of ex-
perience and ability and is fully con-
versant with her subject matter. A
former director of Political Education
in the Republican Women's Club, Mrs.
Ladd is extremely well founded to
present political matters to women
voters in an instructive and interest
ing way. While Mrs. Ladd has not
been heard locally, from all sections
of the state where she has been speak
ing, comes loud praise of her as being
both interesting and informative.
The third speaker, Congressman
Frank Clague needs no introduction
to a Redwood County audience. While
Mr.. Clague's record in Congress needs

Redwood Falls
Beats Marshall
High, 19 to 7
MARSHALL SWEPT OFF FEET
REDWOOD DISPLAYS NEW
SPIRIT WHICH WINS BIG VIC
TORY.
(By Wild Rice)


Football fans missed nifty tangle
Saturday afternoon when Redwood
slapped 19 to Z stinger on Mar
shall. Marshall has a good team
but the Cardinal and White is bet
ter. With Capt. Manning and Herb
Whittet out of the struggle the local
pigskin artists had their work cut
out for them. The forward line held
like a rock wall while the backfield
had sport. "Lally" Schmid getting
his first crack at half job did ex-
cellent work. "Lally" while no giant
in stature is giant in power.
Hosken played a knockout game,
spearing Marshall fumbles, account
ing for the 3 ,touchdowns Saturday
and one touchdown was after an 80
yard gallop, receiving the ball from
the kickoff. "Doc" Cole, acting cap
tain handled the squad nicely and he
deserves considerable credit. Eng
lund, Ben Jackson and Jeuneman
played a scrappy game too.
Marshall received the kickoff and
fumbled. Hosken coming down fas.
nailed the tumble. After series of

for the first counter and the try for
point was good. Score 10. Once
again the first half of the game
Hosken went over. Try for point fail
ed. Score 1870 in favor of Redwood.
The second half opened with Mar
shall fighting and battling their way
through for their only counter. This
seemed to get the local lads "ginger"
up for when Marshall kicked off
Hosken grabbed the old "punkin" and
with fine exhibition of interference
and stiff -arming galloped through
Marshall for 80 yards and a touch
down. Try for point failed. Score
1877 for Redwood. Coach Hoffert
started rushing reserves into the
game. With the ball in Redwood's S
possession the game ended.
Marshall has a good team but they
were outfought and outplayed; that's
all. A small crowd was on hand, the

Now Told in Pictures

What promises to be an unquestion-
ably charming picture treat will be
the presentation here of the big pro-
duction, David Copperield," which
was adapted from the celebrated and
world-loved novel of that title by
Charles Dickens. This exceptional
feature comes to the New Dream Fri
day evening of this week.
The picture is a genuine treat in
every respect. The playing is splen-
did. The photography is unexcelled.
The direction is superb. The romance
runs through channel of interesting
and enthralling scenes, with young
Copperfield proving a real hero.
The story of David Copperfield is
too well-known to bear repetition, but
the film is well worth seeing and tells
the romance of the hero in a highly
pleasing and entertaining manner.

FARMERS AIDED
 i. BY WEATHER MEN
U. S. Meteorological Bu- reau Makes Annual
 Report To Congress

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Quicker distribution of weather forecasts and warnings due to radio development and increased efficiency and economy in service are described as the outstanding achievements of the weather bureau in q review of its activities in the last fiscal year.
 Meteorological forecasts and warn- ings. said the bureau in its annual re- port today, were issued for virtually every need. Forecasts for the farmer, fire weather warnings in western states. special daily bulletins and re- ports for aviators, including separate forecast for the transcontinental ar mail service, marine, forecasts of va rious kinds, flood warnings and even special forecasts for bee keepers and orchardists were listed among the other services of the bureau to protect the nation from the vicissitutes of weather.
 Radiocasting stations to the number of 129 co-operated with the bureau in the transmission of weather reports, covering every section of the country while wireless telegraphy also was said to have greatly advanced the marine meteorological work of the bureau.
 The report estimated that warnings issued by the bureau prior to the Ohio river flood in the Pittsburg district last March resulted in property saving of S10,000000.

IN MONEY
 BRINGS GENERAL
 STOCK DECLINE
Professional Spectators Launch Campaign On
 Whole List
By TODD W. WRIGHT

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Heavy calling of loans causing an advance In the call money rate to per cent shortly after noon and rumors that the Federal Re serve bank would increase its rediscount rate. put to naught the Uniteo states Steel corporation's thrilled tonnage fig ures as far as the stock Is concerned and stocks experienced the sharpest reaction htey had suffered since the current bull movement started almost six weeks ago. -
 Professional speculators who have been trying for some time to bring about a break in the bullish market were responsible for the rumors con corning the rediscount rate.
 Attack Whole List
 They launched a drive on the general list. succeeding In forcing considerable liquidation. But selling based on such illogical premises. such as apprehension over the money situation, could not last and the whole market developed a strnoger tone in the last hour.
 Ebert H. Gary, chairman Of the steel corporation, commenting on the ton maze report which exceeded the most sanguine estimates, said that while the gain in new business was gratifying 1t was not surprising. Business has moved steadily since the election, ac- cording to Judge Gary, and the out. look is "very bright" The gain of 5O6 ,6ss tons was the biggest increase in two years.
 Higher In December
 Regarding the advance of call money December Is always a sensitive month in money and over a long period Of years rates have averaged niger Tn that month than in any other. lrpor- tant holders of stocks are paying little attention to the advance, knowing this peculiarity, especially in view or the large turnover of funds now in prog ress.
 Tuesday the oo,ooo,o 900 French loan was paid. Next Monday there are heavy treasury operations and while these transactions do not necessarily take funds out of the market, they tend to keep rates in an unsettled state.
 All the foreign exchanges took a tumble Wednesday and, led by sterling, the whole list closed fractionally lower. This weakness was felt in most of the foreign bonds, which were dull and weak all day.

IT XPORTS of merchandise from the
 United States by parcel post and
 mail during the first nine months of this year are officially valued by the department of commerce at $15,S51.- 947. This figure covers only wholesale trade by parcel post as no returns are made for the several million mail pack agse in retail trade valued at less than $25 each.
 In commenting on these figures, pr. Julius Klein, director of the bureau Of foreign and domestic commerce, says, "The increasing value of our export trade by parcel post evidences the pass ing of the old fallacy that direct wa ter route to the sea is the first requisite for foreign trade" Manufacturers any where in the United States, have through the parcel post system, means of direct and convenient contact with foreign customers.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-If any change at all was noticeable in the basic con ditions upon which the present pull market on the stock exchange has been based, it was for further improvement. The steel tonnage reports showing ap- proximately 507,00 tons increase in uh- filled orders and that companys an nouncement of 5 per cent expansion in operations in a single week brings the rate up to 79 per cent against oo per cent at the time of the election, were constructive features. We still favor rails as safest group and think they can be purchased on reactions such as were experienced today with reason able assurance of higher prices.-John F. Clark & Go.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1o.-The first two hours of today's market were character ized by activity on the construction side. The steel statement showing an increase in thrilled orders amounting to over 506,000 tons, was we'll received, as this statement was somewhat above expectations. Steel common advanced rapidly to 11S12, but at this point heavy selling appeared and buying orders during the balance of the day were not sufficient to hold the market around the levels which prevailed during the forenoon. Part of this selling came from professional sources and in addi- tion considerable scattered selling ap- peared from nervous traders whose financial resources were limited. This support brought about a general recov- cry in the main body of stocks in the final dealings and In certain issues operations for the rise were resumed Fenner & Beane to Kahn and Virgin.
