Club Women
Meet June 1919
at WinnebagO
SECOND DISTRICT WOMEN TO
HEAR REV. ROY SMITH, MRS.
= QUAMME, CARL RAWSON AND
OTHERS; BANQUET WED.

Second District Clue women are
looking forward to the annual meet
ing of the District Federation which
will be held this year at -Winnebago
starting with a banquet Wednesday
evening and closing at three o'clock
Friday afternoon. The program in
cludes several notable speakers among
them, Rev. Roy Smith, Pastor of
Simpson Methodist Church Mime
apolis, Mrs. Quamme of St. Paul,
president of the State Parent and
Teachers Association, Mrs. Daniel
Coonan of Minneapolis who has done
so much splendid Indian Relief work
during the past year and Mrs.
Schwarg, the state chairman of Con-
servation. The round table will be
conducted by Mrs. D. L. Morse of
Blue Earth.
An unusual feature of this years
program is the appearance of Carl
Wendall Rawson of Minneapolis, the
Minnesota artist who paints only Min
nesota portraits and Minnesota land
scapes. Mr.. Rawson gives an inter-
esting talk illustrating it with
number of his own paintings
and also by means of chalk sketches.
This talk by Mr.. Rawson proved one
one of the most interesting numbers
of the very excellent program given
at Wabasha at the First District
meeting. Mr.. Rawsen has attained
much prominence as portrait paint
er as well as a painter of landscapes,
his portrait of DIR. Folwel having
been one of the fine things to at
tract attention to the excellence of
of his work. He is the only artist in
Minnesota it is believed, who makes
his entire living by the sale of his
pictures, doing no teaching as the
majority of the other painters Of the
state. While Mr.. Rawson's talk is
in no sense a lecture on art it is a
most interesting and intimate talk
on things as an artist sees them and
given by man who loves and lives
Minnesota as well as paints it
Following Mr.. Rawson's talk Thurs
day evening the District Choral Con-
test will be held, at least four groups
competing. The winner in this con-
test will represent the District at the
state meeting at Fairmont next Sep
tember as we'll as winning the De
cup of the district. There
will be number of other interest
ing musical numbers on the program
the majority of them being furnished
by talent of Winnebago and vicinity.
At this meeting a president and
treasurer for the district win be
elected and the other business of the
District Federation transacted. The
candidates for the presidency are Mrs
Dodds of Lake Crystal and Mrs.
of Slayton. Candidates for
treasurer have not been announced.
Mrs. George Germain of Winnebago
should be notified at once of the
of delegates and visitors who
are to attend from each Of the clubs
of the District.

The big birthday cake, a feature
of the Twentieth Anniversary Sale
now going on at the Palace Dry Goods
Store was cut amidst great excite
ment last Saturday afternoon. The
cake. which was the product Of
the Home Bakery of Redwood
Falls was displayed throughout the
week in the show window of the
Palace and attracted much attention
there. Two people Mrs. C. A. Lauter-
bach and E. H. Henschke, both of
Redwood Falls tied in their guesses
as to the weight of the stupendous
confection. Their guess was one
hundred fifty-seven and three-fourths

the largest ever baked in Redwood
County were put fifty pounds of flour,
sixty-four pounds of sugar, two hum
dred twenty-four eggs, sixteen pounds
of butter, four gallons of milk, and a
pound and one-half of baking powder.
Baked in sections it was fitted to-
gether with beautiful exactness,
most artistically iced and was alto
gether most attractive bit of baking.
Pennies carrying with them certain
prizes were baked in the cake and
caused much excitement during the
cutting and serving last Saturday.
Great excitement reigned in the
crowd which packed the Palace to
its fullest capacity, when some for
tunate individual yelled that he or
she had discovered one of these little
coins. The one carrying with it the
five dollar prize was found by Leo
Gallery. The four dollar prize was
won by Marvin Stensvad, the three
dollar prize by Ruth Alexander, the
two dollar by Esther Arnold of Yes
ia and the one dollar prize by Mrs.

Morgan to Have
Better Phone
Facilities Soon
MANAGER BERT KLEAVER An
NOUNCES COMPANY WILL RE-
CONSTRUCT AND IMPROVE
EQUIPMENT AT MORGAN.
(From Morgan Messenger. }


The open wire leads of the telc-
phone exchange in Morgan arc to
be replaced by underground cables,
according to the announcement of
Bert Kleaver, general manager of
the Redwood County Rural Telephone
Company.
!. This extensive improvement in
equipment is expected to improve
the telephone service here so much
that it will be very satisfactory to
the great number of patrons.
Mr.. Kleaver knows full well that
the service here is far short of what
it should be but he believes that
the cable system will solve most of
the trouble and difficulties of his
company in Morgan. This has been
the experience in several other towns
where the underground cable has re-
placed open wiring.
Over 1000 feet of cable was put in
here last year, and the reconstruc-
tion plans call for 5000 more feet,
making about twenty blocks all told.
This, Mr.. Kleaver stated to The Mes
senger, will practically replace all
the open wire leads in town.
The work will be done by crew
of three or four men who will be oc-
cupied from four to six weeks. The
work will be started this month,
probably in two or three weeks.
1000 feet of cable has already been
received and billing has been receiv-
ed on the balance and officials loook
for it in the next ten days or two
weeks.
The cables will vary in size from
Is pair to 125 pair of wires. 1t will
probably be necessary to wait until
all of the equipment arrives before
the work can be commenced.
The largest cables will be- used
in the main business blocks close to
the exchange office.
Under the new system there will
be about one service pole in each
block to distribute the service wires
from the cables to the residences in
that block.
The service will be improved for
one reason that new equipment will
replace equipment many years old.
There will be but little trouble through
winds damaging the lines, and the
swaying branches will give but lit
tie trouble with crossed wires, a very
frequent source Of trouble now.
1t will also improve appearances
of the town to have scores of old
poles and many blocks of wires re-
moved. There will not be much in
reference with shade trees, which
will improve the appearance of the
streets as well as make for better
The telephone patrons in Morgan
will greatly appreciate the proposed
in equipment here.
The telephone system reconstruction
and the electric light system recon-
'truction this season will give Nor
gan much improved public utility SER

SHE'S IRISH, BEGORRAI
CLEAR THROUGH

I'm Irish, so judge for your
self" Which smacks of pride,
and answered the question sue
cinctly.
Miss Kelly was born in Brook
lyn, and started her career, with
the consent of her mother, as a
child toe dancer at the age Of
nine years. After her schooling
she joined the Brooklyn Stock
Company and there she forsook
her dancing ambitions to become
a dramatic actress. Her first
production engagement was with
David Warfield in 1.-THE Grand
Army Man" Then she played a
prominent role in Three of U.s.
The classics wrought their i'm
press upon her through three
seasons in repertoire with Robert
Mantell, in which she played q
wide range of parts. Then to
widen her endeaVors she was I'm
motion pictures, with the Vita
graph company, and to strike u
medium she played for three
seasons in A. HI. Woods produc-
tions. Miss Kelly states that her
ambition is not to become a
leading woman, but to be just as
good a comedienne as Frank
Craven is a comedian Which
shows her ambitions run high :
enough, to say the least.

George NJ. Conan wrote a song
for ono of his popular musical
successes extolling the name OF
Kelly, with the K-E doubl-L-Y,
stating the wearer is more than
common clay and a king with a
capital K. There's no use talk
ing, there is something about
these Kellys that makes them
proud of the name, and few in
deed of them change it, except
the female ones, of course, and
that for the best Of reasons. The
stage has had any number of
Kellys who reaped their honors,
and are still garnering them.
And while it is popular enough
among stage folks to change their
names for the theater programs,
there rarely is a Kelly that feels
the necessity.
Some of that pride actuates
Doris Kelly, who plays the
daughter of the House of Bates
in Frank Craven's comedy, New
Brooms," which opens at the
National Monday, March 9, for
she states with pride that this is
her real name, and that there
is only one reason in the world
why she would change it. And
when asked if she had any super
stitions, which are so common
among stage people, she replied:
