Taking as his text Paul's words, 81
am citizen of no mean city," DR..
A. w. Ross gave to his congregation
at the Sunday morning service a
wonderful talk on citizenship and
its application by residents of Red
wood Falls to their own community
The service was in the nature. of a
patriotic observance of Washington (
birthday and special patriotic music
formed very beautiful part of it.
From briefly drawn historical
background, DIR. Ross spoke of tn
indebtedness each citizen owes to
the txsEn, city or locality which fur
nislles llfh a home, provides him witt
a means Of subsistence, with society
and culture, in fact which gives hi
man beings all the privileges and op.
pOrtunities necessary for profitable
pleasant and uplifting life. In return
he recounted that a citizen owes /;
to his community to pay this debt by
acquiring an intimate knowledge OF
its history of it's places of interes.

women VINO have lived there in the
past, of it's institutions and the other
factors which combine to make it a

Car License
Limit Placed
at March 1st
NEW TAG SYSTEM BEING AGIT-
ATED BUT AN IMPROVED
METHOD HAS NOT BEEN DE-
VISED.

Motorists who held off until the
eleventh hour to apply for their 1925
motor license were given Is day
extension by the state legislature.
The law was amended to make the
limit March 1st instead of February
10th for the present year only.
Over 4O0, 900 out Of the 100000 mo-
torists had applied for their license
before the extension was granted, and
most of the rest would have fallen in
line except that it was apparent for
some days before February 18th that
extra time would be given, thus the
extension was gift pure and simple
to few thousand procrastinating car
owners who probably won't get under
the wire by March 1st.
New number plates are coming
through the mails every day. Where
application has been made for Ii
cense old plates can be used until
April 1st excepting that this year on
account of the extension the limit ON
old number plates was also extended
Is days.
With the issuance of new license
plates there is the usual agitation for
a more economical system of licens-
ing, but so far has been devised.
The year to year issue of new plates
is now in vogue in all states, and so
far is the most satisfactory.

Redwood Defeated
by Speedy Tracy
Quint Friday
LOCALS SUFFER DEFEAT IN
FAST GAME, SCORE Ia TO Is,
BOTH TEAMS FOUGHT FOR
EVERY GAIN MADE.
(By WILD RICE,

Redwood Falls high basket tossers
took the count Friday evening at the
hands of the fast travelling Tracy
hoopsters' by a IA to 13 score. The
game was fast and furious, first Red
wood leading, then Tracy. Severa.
times the score was knotted at tie.
Cole, though put out of the game
by injuries, played a stellar game
for the locals, securing four field
goals and one free throw. Cole >
floor game was above par. Manning
contributed one basket besides put
ting up an aggressive game at
guard. Wallin and Corbett each add
ed field goal to the score. Green
slit and Hoskin both played aggres-
sive and clever games.
One minute before the end of the
game Redwood was leading Id to Is
when Tracy shared a field goal there
by putting the old game on ice.
The Tracy game was the last
scheduled game of the season and
this Saturday, Redwood Falls, Tracy,

Madison Loses
To Locals in
Fast Battle
24-21 is SCORE OF ROUGH GAME
MONDAY EVENING; GUARDS
PLAYED MOUNTAIN LAKE
TUESDAY.

The local guardsmen captured the
Madison goat in the Monday evening
scrap, winning by a count of 24-21.
The contest was fast and rough, anc
although there was no head linesman,
it resembled football game in sew
eral respects. Madison has a speedy
scrappy bunch, but they spoil their
game by continually razzing the
referee. Fish played a wonderful
game for the soldiers although his
mark is not down for any field
goals. Fish is fast enough to trouble
Charlie Paddock, and his style of
taking the ball down the floor is the
envy of about four thousand basket
ball players in North America alone
Hoffert played strong defensive
game and found time to ante in a
string of field counters on the side.
During the first part of the OPEN
ing stanza Redwood tried shots
from everywhere but down cellar.
However, the closest they came t.
scoring was when Carity missed a
free throw by narrow margin.
However, the last half of the first
term saw the Infantrymen getting
down to work and the period closed
with the score Sd favoring Madison.
During the second frame the soldiers
outpointed the visitors and the hall
ended with the locals only two points
to the rear in an 11-9 count A
shakeup in the Madison lineup dur
ing this term failed to bring results
except that Castle and Scott each
dipped in for a couple point apiece
During the third act the guards
men climDed up over the Madison
crew and at the end of the. period
they led by 1916 census. The sec
ond half was considerably roughei.
than the first part of the battle, and
two of the Madison men were dis
pensed with upon having committed
their fourth foul. After the thir6
quarter the game was just contest
of which team could stand up under
the treatment of the opposing bunch
for the longest time. During the last
round the guards increased their
lead by two points, and the final gun
found the score 24-21 with Madison
on the sobbing end. The crowd was
not one which would have forced the
Yanks to enlarge their stadium, but
everyone who saw the game spent
half the time in the air. and it is
said that considerable quantity of
the filthy lucre spent the night in a
different locality than the accustom-
ed sock.
Mountain Lake entertained the
Company boys Tuesday eve but as
yet no details have reached home
as to the outcome. Results viii be
published next week.
