at Glencoe, county seat of Mcleod
county starting Tuesday, September
Ia. AT the present time attorneys
pairing for the trial.
1t will be remembered thas the first
trial alewas held at st. Peter and re-
suited in disagreement of the jury
after being out % hours. The jury
stood eight for conviction ard four
for acquittal, it is said. 1t is further
stated that the four women on the
jury voted for acquittal. The defend
ant was admitted to bail in the sum
of $4,000. -
The date of the second trial was
fixed at a conference of attorneys and
Judge A. B. Gislason at st. Peter in
May, shortly after the first trial. At
that time it was decided that the Nrial
city would be designated later, either
Redwood Falls, Glencoe or St
James being the place. Several
weeks ago at a conference Glencoe
was selected. Judge A. B. Gislasop
will be the trial judge.
There are no women on the petit
jury panel of Mcleod county.
how this will effect the outcome of the
trial is matter of conjecture among
those interested. This is the worst
case OF alleged murder Nicollet coun-
ty has ever had, and interest in it is
high throughout southern Minnesota.

High School
Squad Ready
For Season
"PLENTY OF PROMISE" SAYS
COACH HOFFERT AT BEGIN
MING OF FOOTBALL SEASON.
GOOD SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED
(By Wild Rice)

Prospects are excellently bright
for a good pigskin squad in the Red
wood High this year. Coach Hof-
fert has been putting his gridirrn
artists through some stiff practices
lately and the material is showing
up wonderfully well. At the pres
ent time squad of forty-fve meil
is busy chasing the oval over the
ground, running down punts, exercis-
ing the tackling dummy and getting
the rudiments of the game.
Of last years squad four men were
lost through graduation. Hoskins
loss will be felt in the backfeld al
though Clarence Schmid is showing
promise of becoming star in the
pasture. Manning, the 1924 versa
tile fullback, and Englund and Cole
veteran inesmen, will be lost through
the graduation route. Laidlaw, an
other linesman, has moved to Cali
fornia. In spite of these losses,
Coach Hoffert has an excellent team
in prospect-at least as good as last
years.
Of the vets remaining, Captain
"Bill" Wester will preside at center
and as for a better center in these
parts-well, there just "aint no such
animal. When it comes to passing
the ball. that's the fondest thing Bill
is of. "Spot" Hauck a fast stopper,
and Royal Theiring will undoubtedly y
guard the wing positions and pair
of neater end men it will be hard to
find. For guards and tackles, vet
Grams are on hand in Herb Whittet
and Ben Jackson, both aggressive and
full of fight. "Swede" Wallin, ter
ror in the line and a veteran and
Reynolds and Buenger, both new
men, are battling it out. Fat Brew
ster is assuming a threatening at
titude in the line with Garnhardt, a
new but big and aggressive scrapper,
challenging anyone's right to place.
Such men as Garnhardt looks good
to Wild Rice. Parson, Daddy, the
STAIRS and host Of others are fight
ing it cut for the jobs. The line
as whole will be fast and heavy.
The backfeld finds itself full of
promise and full of "vets". Corbet.
at quarter is heavier and shiftier
than ever and he looks even betttr
than he did last year. Clarence
Schmid is putting in the keenest bet
for the backfield "Schmidy" is fast
as tightening, shifty, heady and a
deadly plunger. Watch his step!
Brotherly love comes into play this
year with "Lally" Schmid, Clarence's
diminutive brother laying first Claim

Miss Josoelyn - 9
Leaves for New
Work With State
REDWOOD UNITY SOCIAL
WORKER GIVEN POSITION
WITH CHILDREN'S BUREAU
OF BOARD OF CONTROL.

Miss F. Lucille Loscel7n, for the
past three years the Soc.al Work
er in Redwood County, has resigned
her position, the resignation 20 take
effect Just as soon as her successor
can be secured. Miss Joscelvn has
accepted a position in the Childr az s
Bureau of the State Board of Control
and will work under the direction of
Judge Charles Hall, formerly ,f
Granite Falls. While her hcadu1ar-
ters will be in Saint Paul, from there
Miss Joscelyn will work in the thir-
teen counties which have beer assign
ed to her, supervising in those
counties the work with children who
are state charges.
The new position which came u,,-
solicited to Miss Joscelyn from Judge
Hall, is a direct compliment to her
work during her three years in Red.
wood County. For that period Miss
Joscelyn has worked as the Execu-
tive Secretary of the Redwood Coun-
ty Child Welfare Board. the soci ii
work of this organization being f.
nanced by the American Red Cross.
While the stress has been laid upon
social service work and work with
Ex-service men, Miss Josce7yn's
work with crippled children, with
tubercular cases and in other phases
of public health work has been of
inestimable worth to the county. Dur
ing her three years in the local work
she has done a wonderful work, the
scope Of which will be realized more
and more as the years go by. The
countless cases which have been aid
ed by Miss Joscelyn's unremitting
labor are a living monument to her
ability. her skill and her sense of de-
vout service. John Ahrens, chair
man of the Redwood County Boarr
of Commissioners voiced the senti-
ment Of those best acquainted with
her work when he said, at will be
hard to find anyone to take Miss
Joscelyn's place. While 1t is mat
ter of pride on the part of the Courty
to have had worker whom the State
is so anxious to get for work in big
ger field, it is also extremely hard
for Redwood County to give her up !"
At special meeting of the direct
ors of the Redwood County Red
Cross Chapter held Friday evening for
the purpose of finding some one to
take Miss Joscelyn's place, a COM
mittee consisting Of Mrs. H. NJ. Sond-
ager, of Belview County chairman,
A. w. Olson of Walnut Grove, and
VIM. Duncan Jr. of Mi,roy was ap-
pointed to take immediate action.
Miss Joscelyn wishes to take up her
duties in her new field as soon as
possible after the Redwood County
Fair is over.

SENATOR BELLE KEARNEY OF
MISSISSIPPI PLEASES AU-
DIENCE WITH TALK ON THE
NEW REPUBLICS.

An interesting and extremely in
structive lecture was given at the
Methodist Church last Sunday even
ing, in place of the regular Sunday
evening sermon. The speaker, Sen
ator Belle Kearney of Mississippi,
took as her subject, "The New Re-
publics of the World"
Senator Kearney, in her talk, show
ed the gradual trend civilization has
taken towards democracy ever since
the beginning Of history. Starting
with three Republics eleven years ago,
Europe has seen gradual but ir-
resistable change to the democratic
forms of government, until at the
present date, a majority of the Euro
pean countries are controlled by
popular vote. The movement towards
democratic control began in Russia
during the late world war and spread
throughout all Europe and Asia, gain
ing in speed and popularity as it pro-
gressed. While the Russian repub-
lie government has failed to accom-
plish it's desired result, that of up
lifting the peasants from the muck
and mire into which their lives have
been sunk for ages, still the outcome
of the Russian outbreak has been sue
cessful, in that many solid and well
established republics have been form
ed from parts of the old Russian en-
pire.
China was designated as the world s
largest republic, while the Riffs Of
North Africa have established the
newest democratic government. Til,
country of the Jugo Slavs is said to
be the most firmly established Re-
public in Europe, due, it is thought
to the sterling character and the
great courage and patriotism of the
inhabitants.
"The greatest question facing the
human race to-day, said Senator
Kearney, "And the greatest question
which has ever faced the human race
is the abolition of warp European
countries are constantly on the verge
of great conflict among themselves
and only the removal of the ever
present causes Of war can prevent fur
ther struggles. The conditions under
which goods are exported, the con-
slant struggle for raw materials and
the tariff are a few of the predominant
ing factors which cause international
disruption. can application of the
teachings of the Man of Nazareth is
the only means of putting an end to
the turmoil which threatens to en-
gulf the nations of the world, said
the speaker. "The friendship of
Great Britain and the Unit,d States
is absolutely necessary to the peace of
the world at large" In the course
of her discourse the speaker showed

tend the annual meeting Of the Min
nesota Federation of Womens Clubs.
held this week at Fairmont, will have
an opportunity to hear two women of
national and international fame. Mrs.
John G. Sherman of Estes Park, Col
orado, president of the General Fed
GRAFTON of Womens Clubs, will be the
big attraction of the convention, her
address coming Thursday afternoon.

men in past international confer
ences, will be the speaker of the We'd

can Home and Mrs. Winter will have

r. Haycraft of Fairmont who will
give an address on The Constitution.
Judge Haycraft is no stranger to the
women OF this section of the state
having spoke at Redwood Falls,
Springfield and other places in this
vicinity in the past. The opportunity
to again hear him is appreciated by
the club women who are much inter-
ested in the study of the foundation
OF the American government. In ad-
dition to these three "headliners''
there will be number of other inter-
esting speakers, and much good
music which is the Offering of the
Fairmont Club women.

MethOdiStS TO
Consider Two
Big Questions
UNION OF NORTH AND SOUTH
CHURCHES AND STATUS OF
LAY DELEGATES TO BE SET
tiled AT RED WING.

The annual sessions of the Mime
sofa Methodist Church will be held al
Redwing September %, "a, 25, 26
and 27. Rev. Paul L. Grove pastor
of the Redwood Falls church will at
tend throughout the week and A. c,
Burmeister will represent the la;ty
of the Church.
There will be two issues of impor-
tance, which will come 20 the atten-
ton of the conference, and which will
have far-reaching influence upon
Methodism.. Possibly the most i'm
portant Of the two is whether lay
men should have membership in ary
conference with the same rights as
ministers. This question viii be vot-
ed upon during the session at Red
Wing. Sufficient conferences have
already acted favorably upon the
matter to assure the adoption Of the
amendment to the constitution.
There has been q movement on
foot for a number Of years to or
ganically unite the Methodist
churches Of the North ard South.
The division came during the Civil
war period and since that time the
churches in conferenc of the North
and South have acted independently
of each other, although there are no
questions of doctrinal difference.
The Methodist church conferences
in the North have SO far voted pre-
ponderously in favor of the plan, but
the Spring conference of the Metho-
dist church of the South has not been
so favorable, but it is anticipated
that the Fall conferences will take a
different attitude toward the Join
ing of the two churches.
