Don't Expect to
Get Any Mail on
Christmas Day
POSTAL EMPLOYEES TO HAVE
HOLIDAY FOR FIRST TIME IN
HISTORY; LOCAL OFFICES TO
CLOSE.

Widespread approval has greeted
the recent announcement of the Post
master General that there will be
no mail deliveries on Christmas Day.
This ruling effects all the Redwood
County postoffices as well as all
others
Almost without exception the
American public has agreed with the
inherent justice of the ruling which
gives to the army of postal employ
ees some of the holiday privileges en-
joyed by others, but so long denied
them.
Of course the ruling applies only
to the coming Christmas, being in
the nature of an experiment, the
success or failure of which will de-
termine the procedure next year.
The Postmaster General was en-
abled to take the course he did as
result Of the success of early mailing
campaigns conducted in past years
through the press and The movies"
adm over the radio, which had the
effect back far enough to justify the
experiment.
Officials of the Department who are
watching the experiment closely have
the utmost confidence that it will
go through without hitch and that
Christmas Day of the future will be
day of rest for the postman and
the postal clerk.
To accomplish this purpose, and it
is believed laudable one the Amer
lean public must mail holiday tokens
and greetings in time for delivery
at least before the close of business,
December "a.
If there is any appreciable mail
left over for delivery on December
26, it will initiate against the
chances of posal workers for sim
liar holiday in 1926.

TO New Uln in
First Debate
LORETTA kOLBET, JOHN JACK
son AND RICHARD JUENE-
MAN UPHOLD AFFIRMATIVE
OF CHILD LABOR QUESTION.

The Redwood Falls Debating team
was eliminated in the first debate of
the season last Friday evening. Th,
local group was opposed by the New
Ulm team and the debate took place
in the high school auditorium of the
New Ulm High School.
The Redwood Falls team consisted
of Richard Jueneman, John jackson
and Loretta Kolbet and upheld the
affirmative of the question, RESOLV-
ED: That, 1. The Congress shall have
power to limit, regulate and pro-
hibit the labor of persons under
eighteen years of age. 2. The power
of the several States is unimpaired
by this article, except that the oper-
alton of State laws shall be suspend
ed to the extent necessary to give
effect to legislation enacted by the
Congress.
The judges decision was two for
the negative and one for the affirma-
tive. The gentlemen judging were
Professor B. w. Youngdahl of st.
Peter and Attorney L. H. Morris and
Superintendent w. H. Detamore CT
Mankato. The delivery of the Red
wood Falls team was exceptionally
good as was their direct argument
but they proved not strong enough
for their opponents in the rebuttal.
| The New Ulm team consisted of
Misses Helen Hage and Margaret
Eichten and Fred Lippman. Botn
teams did splendidly and showed care
full coaching as we'll as much pains
taking work on their own parts. Rev.

Oague Praises
Noyes Measure
As Practical
REDWOOD FALLS CONGRESSMAE
SAYS PROPOSED BILL OFFERS
EFFECTIVE FARM AID AT
LITTLE EXPENSE.

Feasible, practical, effective ani
simple, Congressman Clague of the
second district said of the Moves
plan to give the American farmers,
to the full, benefit of the tariff or
wheat, corn, hogs and cattle. Mr..
| Clague was among the many North
west congressman who discussed the
bill in Washington Friday.
"The principle of the Noyes plan,'
Mr.. Clague said, 'is that of the Me-
NaryHaugen bill simplified. 1t
doesn't disturb the present methou
of doing business. The grain trad,
is left intact. The government is
not put in business and there is no
government price-fixing.
While a member of the committee
on appropriations now, Mr.. Clagre
served on the committee on agricul-
ture in the sixty-eigth congress ard
had an important part in getting the
McNary Haugen bill before the house.
His judgment on agricultural leg
islation is highly regarded by his
colleagues.
c. Reinold Noyes, president of the
st. Paul association, author of the
Noyes plan, was a witness before the
Nary -Haugen BILL
Mr.. Clague said he was much i'm
pressed at that time by Mr.. Moves
understanding of the agricultural
problem.
"Any proposal or suggestion ma1e
by Mr.. Noyes," he said, "is worthy
of serious consideration"
In the opinion of Mr.. Clague the
farmers actual profit on wheat un-
der the Moves plan would be be-
tween twenty and thirty cents bu-
shell.
"As to wheat, its operation would
De simple" Mr.. Clague said. "Fcr
corn, it would be fairly simple and
believe it would be workable as to
hogs and cattle"
The expense under the Noya,
plan would not be third of what l.
would have been under the McNary.

mo new government machinery
is needed. ] do not believe the add;-
tional expense required in taking
care OF the bounty and collection of
the excise tax would amount to more
than $5,000,000 a year"
MIR. Clague said that he had stud
led the plan with a view to devel-
oping objections to it, and. as yet has
found none Of importance.

Three Games
j: Leave Guards
:. Undefeated
GAYLORD, STEW ART AND ARI-
NGTON ARE BEATEN BY CAPT,
.FRASER'S CREW IN WEEKS
PLAYING.

Winning three games in the past
week seems to assure the fans that
the Redwood Guardsmen have hit
their stride and that a fast brand OF
basketball will be given to the public
for the rest of this season, not to
mention the thrills that are assured
when Buff and his gang are all set
to put out. The sad victims of the
past week were Gaylord, Stewart and
Arlington, with Gaylord giving the
home boys the hardest battle. The
final whistle in this game gave the
count as 33 to 80. Capt. Fraser US
ed his complete squad against Stew
art and the boys came through with
52 to "a victory. The score of the
Arlington game was 80 to %.
1t may be said that the trip to
Gaylord Tuesday night, December
10Th resulted in the usual amount
of fast playing and the Guards were
very fortunate in winning. Bill Cas-
tie dropped in the winning basket the
last two minutes of play. A hard
game is expected when this fast quint
plays at Redwood. Individual scor-
ing is as follows: Donlon, five field
goals; VIM. Castle, four field mark-
ers and a free throw; Don Castle,
two field goals; Lamberton, two fell
goals, Hoffert and Bobzin with a
field goal and free throw each.
The game with Stewart played at
the armory the night of December
18th proved to be very One-sided; !;
either Stewart is not as good as has
been claimed or the Guardsmen were
going exceptionally strong. Never
theless the Soldiers ran up the en-
ormous score of fifty-two to their op-
ponents' twenty-four, of which eleven
points were gained from free throws.
Every man was used in almost every
position and still the visitors coul1
not stop the fast counting OF the
Guards. DonlOn led the field IN
field goals, having garnered six. Not
to be outdone by their fast team
mate Bill Castle and Hank Hoffert
came through with five field count
ers with three field baskets. Don
Castle and Bobzin each counted two
and Hoskin one.
Sunday afternoon, December Goth,
Capt. Fraser and his team toured to
Arlington and for the third time in
six days brought home the bacon"
The afternoon was much enjoyed by
all the men, especially "Scotty" Dor
Ion, who was right and that isn't
perhaps! Scotty came through with
eighteen points, over half of the
