Girls Present
1.-TWO Masters"
Sunday Evening
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS OF
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH GIVE
LITTLE DRAMA AT SUNDAY
EVENING SERVICE.

A group of girls from the Senior
Christian Endeavor Society of the
Presbyterian Church presented a
pretty little playlet at the evening
church service Sunday. The little
drama of three acts and four scenes
was entitled Two Masters and was
written around missionary theme.
The young ladies were directed by
Mrs. Hillig and Mrs. Perry Nelson
Those in the cast were Misses Kath-
crime Stewart. cast as Mrs. Van Horn,
Margaret Fobes in the role of the
PRESIDENT of the Culture Club, Doro :
thy Melges as Mrs. Stuart, Lillian
Stewart as Janet McCrea, Fern
Wheeler as Mrs. Won der Witt Jones,
and Dessymore Whiting, Velva Wheel
er and Violet G. Kriffen as the three
college chums Rachel, Charlotte and
Helen.
The story centers about Chinese
girl Janet McCrea who has been sent
to America to be educated and is
making her home with Mrs. VanHorn.
At meeting of the Culture Club
at which Janet is to give a paper on
Picturesque Pagodas of China, the
noted lecturer Mrs. Won de Witt Jones
gives a talk on her personal expert
ence in China This talk which re-
calls to Janet her old life in China
forces her to make her decision. In
stead of giving her paper as sched-
uled she tells of the life of her faith
er and mother and announces her
determination to return to China to
assist her people. Realizing her ia
ability to serve two masters, she
gave up America and her chance for
an education to return to the China
which needed her. The story was
one with big appeal for the girls
presenting it as well as for their
audience and the parts were all TAX
en- with sincerity and seriousness
which added much to the charm of the
little production.

He bounced UP to the wheel. corralled
his cO-worKers, saying as he started
the truck:

"Yes; but. jim" protested one OF
the boys. Imagine making time with
this old monster'-and they all Joined
ina hearty laugh.
They travelled at fsir rate OF
speed for about Is minutes when the
old beast gradually slowed down and
died. James had volunteered to drive
the truck, but not to play mechanic.
He might be able to tinker with his
fathers little car, but this truck was
entirely out of his line.
Maybe we are out of gas" piped
up one of the corps.
Forthwith they all trooped off the
truck to investigate the gas tank.
"There is plenty of gas in the tank.
Guess again, fellows" retorted James.
Lets look under the hood" sug-
gested another fellow sufferer.
That's right''-and each fellow fell
to examining the part he thought had
gone wrong The resulting scene was
somewhat the effect of swarm of
bees around a beehive.
"Now start her." called one Of the
fellows from the depths of the engine.

While all held their breath, the
starter turned over, but the engine
showed no sign of life.
"Who said something about a 'Mer-

lucky it isn't below zero tonight"
The boys fused about the engine
for some time. Finally, James climbed
into the truck and said:
"COme on, fellows, pile in; am
going to try starting this old thing
again."
"All right. We will all concentrate
and say to ourselves, Now the old
thing is going to run"
The starter turned 1t over twice
and the third time the fellows heard
q feeble response from the engine.
"Give her gas; she's going-she'i
going!" And sure enough, it was.
Without further delay they reached
the mission house q little before
twelve. The workers were waiting
for them.

In the opinion of Mr.. Clague, one
of the big merits of the Noyes plan
is that it does not disturb the grain
trade.
"The east cannot complain that
the government is put into business
under this plan," Mr.. Clague said.
Cali the government does is, through
existing agencies, to help the farmer
market his surplus and maintain a
price for his product equal to the
world price, plus the tariff, which
Congress intended he should have. .

seems to be one of Mr.. Donlon's best
years as basketeer and If it proves
to be so the fans are due to see
something unusual in each game in
which the young man from Morton
starts. Bill Castle gathered three
field goals and a free throw. Three
field goals were counted for Lam
berton while Carity counted free
throw.
Commencing Monday, December
28th, Redwood Falls and vicinity will
be treated to three of the fastest
games of basketball that have been
played here this season. The games
are with some of the best teams in
the northwest. December 28th the
Guards will play the fast Redwin :
Blackbird quint, team that recent
ly defeated ST. Olaf College team very
decisively. The Guardsmen won
from this team last year in the game
played at the Armory but were de
feated at Redwing, therefore there
is much at stake in this third battle.
Thursday night, December 31st the
Morgan Independent team will furn-
ish the competition for the local gang.

his college team from the Northern
Normal of Aberdeen, South Dakota,
will play the Guardsmen in the Arm

fans have been clamoring for and

been secured to play. Evans will be
remembered as one of the hardest
and fastest basketball players eve-'
developed in Redwood Falls.

School Pupils Give
Fine Christmas
Programs Tuesday
MISS OPAL GEIBLER AND GRADE
TEACHERS DIRECT SPLENDID
PROGRAM OF CHRISTMAS FEA-
TURES.

Under the direction of Miss Opal
Geibler, director of music in the pub :
lie school Of Redwood Falls, the teach
ers and pupils of the first eight
grades staged most appropriate and
excellent Christmas program, in the
auditorium of the Lincoln School last
Tuesday evening.
The first half of the program, which
was given by the children of the low
er grades, presented very prettily the
idea of Christmas jollity and merr;-
ment, while the later portion gave
the deeper significance of the cele-
bration of the birth of Christ. The
complete program was one of the
most significant and satisfactory CIV
en- in the local schools for many sea-
sons.
The tots of Miss Cooper's room
opened the program with a pageant
depicting Mother Goose and her FAM
lily at. the Christmas season. Eight
small men and women from Miss
Schram's room danced the Colonial
Minuet with very good ieffect. A
little playlet ''Too Much Borrowing"
was given by group from Miss
Fritton's room. The boys of Mis-.
Berquist's room gave clown drill
which showed to good advantage some
of the physical training work done
in the schools. The children of Miss
Monahan's room gave a little drama
all about Christmas Secrets and a
stocking drill was the offering from
Miss Hewitt's room. Pop Goes tbs

BACK BUT
JUST FOR OLD
TIMES SAKE

Several months ago Ben Turpin,
he Of the untrue eyes, retired
from the screen. Voluntarily re.
turning to private life, he planned
to shun the camera forever. At
the time Of his withdrawal he was
at the height of his career. His
name was synonymous with all
that is hilarious.
Recently Turpin visited his old
friend Charley Murray at the
Metropolitan Studios, where Muir
ray is now working on "Steel
Preferred" Murray and Director
James Hogan pleaded with Tur-
pin to get into costume and
help out in some Of the comedy
scenes, thus reuntinig three men
who are graduates Of Dean Mack
Sennett's College Of Fun. The
call Of the kleigs and the grease
paint became too strong to resist
and Turpin joined the cast.
At the end Of the engagement
the business manager had the
shock Of his life when Turpin
declined to accept a check which
was reminiscent Of the old days
of stardom in size. He explained
that the thing was done just for
the fun Of it.
Not to be defeated, officials of
the Metropolitan Studios selected
a smoking set for Turpin, which
they presented to him. On it is
an engraved gold plate inscribed
with a message of appreciation
and thanks
