Condemns Price Cuts
As Unsafe Business

New York, Oct. 5.-"Price cutting
is not healthy stimulant for busi-
ness" declared j. +. Tregoe, exeeu-
tive manager Of the national assoiea-
ton Of credit men.
Nothing appeals 20 me as more
imprudent, unsafe and unbusiness-
ike than the slashing Of prices for the
purpose of making sales. Business
executives should be valiant and pru-
dent enough TO keep this unsafe fea-
.ture of business constantly in mind
and 10 urge their debtors TO abstain
from il. Not many business opera
tors are foolish enough to skate on
thin ice when they are told the ice
Is thin"
Mr.. Tregoe's views are approved
by newspapers that resent a similar
position by organized workers, who
also declare that wage reductions "is
not a healthy stimulant for business" /"

Dirt Should Go
There should be clean and well-kept
lawns, tree-bordetei streets, and
good architecture. Dump heaps and
congested places should give way to
open spaces and public parks and
Fairgrounds, lake shores. spots of

Musical Comedy
Dated for Feb.

The Melvin Daskam Post of the
American Legion has announced that
it will sponsor another home talent
production, similar to the Redwood
"Fallies" show presented last year.
Ward Baldwin, who wrote and direct
ed the last years production is in
charge of the play, which will pro-
baby take the form CT a musical
comedy, instead of fallies show as
it did last year.
Mr.. Baldwin has had considerable
experience along the line of direct
ing and producing plays and other
home talent productions and this en-
tertainment is expected to be "the
best yet" Many of last years stars
will take part in the comedy, Root
and Powers, the singing pair, and
Murset and Miller, the Hebrew speci-
alists, will feature in special num-
bers, and an excellent chorus has
been arranged. The date of the pre-
sentation has not yet been definately
set but it is expected to be some time
during the last week Of February.

Dream Reopens
with Many New
Improvements
FOYER, NEW BOOTH AND LIGHT
ING ADD TO ATTRACTIvENESS
OF SHOW HOUSE REOPENED
MONDAY EVENING.

The New Dream theatre, which has
been closed for the past two weeks
feopened Monday evening with a free
show, which was well attended, de-
spite the bitterly cold weather which
prevailed. The theatre has been COM
pletely remodeled, and a great in
crease in comfort and safety has thus
been secured for the patrons. A
foyer has been built, new lighting eff
fects installed and a new operating
booth provided. The new booth is
fireproof, and is decided improve
ment, as it allows the operator more
working space and a more convenient
arrangement of the machines. The
foyer is the most novel feature of
the New Dream, and the appearance
of the front part of the interior is
greatly improved as result of it's
installation.
All of the work of remodeling was
done by R. H. Byram, the present
manager of the theatre, who design
ed the Improvements and superintend-
ed the work of constructing them. The
movie fans of Redwood Falls are to
be congratulated upon having a
thoroughly modern and convenient
playhouse in which to see the many
feature PRODUCTIONS which Mr.. Byram
assures us will be forthcoming.

hearts wander off to camp for a month
and neglect to tell them until the
might before" The girls thereup-
on decide to play hermit themselves
for time and show the male of the
species what's what. They each agree
to forfeit fine of $40 if they COM
unicate with any member of the
stronger sex. Spook Island is the
place picked for the outing, much
against the wishes of Katie, the not
too-unsuperstitious Irish maid, and
Cousin Euphemia, an elderly spinster
with hardly any antagonism towards
the other half. Sarah Jane, an old
friend of Margaret, the ringleader,
fixes everything satisfactorily but not
until each girl has parted with the $40
fine for breaking her agreement. The
whole situation makes a fun-making
farce and most entertaining little
