The noted horticulturist passed on

And as life ebbed away and he

Infirm and worn after years de-

his pronouncements on religion and

ium is to be followed within the next
few days by the addition of centri-
fugal extracting machine, notable ad-
ditions to plant equipment that in

Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson
Are Back from Florida

Mr.. and Mrs. o. HI. Johnson oi
Hotel Ramsey returned Monday from
an extended motoring trip through
the east and south. For the past five
months they have been enjoying the
scenic beauties and the mild climate
of Florida and other southern states,
visiting Cuba and touring through
Washington, Philadelphia and num-
erous other cities of interest in the
East on their way back to Redwood
Falls. The trip was made in the
johnson Packard with @. H. at the
wheel for the entire distance of near
ly seventy-two hundred miles. Not
the least of the delightful features of
the trip was the fact that the tourists
experienced so little automobile
trouble, having no long delays for re-
pairs. The first blowout occurred
when the driver got lit indiscreet
at Owatonna on the way home! In
spite of the delightful states and cit
les visited, and the interesting visits
with their many friends and rela-
tives along the way, both Mr.. and
Mrs. Johnson express themselves as
very happy to be back in Minnesota
again. While in Washington they
were guests of Congressman and Mrs.
Frank Clague, and they found many
old friends and acquaintances in
Miami and other cities of Florida.

DIR. Johnstone comes to Redwood
Falls with the background of a ma
tional reputation as speaker of elo-
quence and brilliancy. In addition
to this he is the author of several
books, including Abraham the Chris
tian and George Washington the
Christian, both of profound interest
to American citizens who love these
two greatest Americans. The op-
portunity to hear man of his ability
and eloquence comes but seldom to
a small city like Redwood Falls and
all residents of the community are
most cordially invited, by the pastor
and people of the local church, to at
tend these services and reap the
benefit they offer. DIR. Ross states
that as a departure from the usual
procedure there will be no collec.
tion taken at the evening services with

OF THE DAY. DEBATING
TEAMS TO VIE.
FARM BUREAU IN CHARGE
INVITATIONS EXTENDED TO ALL
TOWNS IN AND ADJACENT TO
REDWOOD co. KEEP
DATE OPEN

The Redwood County picnic date
has been set for June and will prob
ably be held at Wabasso the same
at last year. Mr. Peder Peterson,
Iowa's greatest public speaker is to
deliver the headline address and an
effort is being made to get the de-
batting team who were on the platform
last year and who are now preparing
a new debate on different subject
A full line of entertainment, music,
sports for all, base ball, and full ev-
ening program is being prepared by
the committee which was appointed
at the Farm Bureau Board meeting
held April 6.
= special invitaticf is extenced to
all the towns in and adjacent to Red
wodd County and an urgent request
is made of all towns that no. public
event be scheduled for this day so
far as it is possible to avoid it, in
order that this program and big an
nual county event, which should in
terest every family in Redwood
County, may be given undivided sup
port and attendance. Many similar
occasions of this kind in other coun-
ties of the state are honored by hav-
ing all the business houses closed in
the county on this occasion. This
was true in Murray County last year.
All efforts to cooperate in this re-
spect will be greatly appreciated on
the part of the Farm Bureau organ
ization. 1t is hoped that everyone
reading this article will Immediately
mark the calendar for this date and
plan to take day off and meet with
their friends and neighbors town
and country, get together at this big
picnic. The very best talent that can
be secured in the country is being ar
ranged for at considerable expense.
1t is the earnest desire Of the Farm
Bureau to have as MANY people with
IN the county as possible attend the
picnic.
One contest has already been an
nounced by the committee and that is
= fine, large United States flag will
be awarded the organization within
the county which seats the largest
delegation from their community at
the picnic dinner on that day. Any
organization may compete including
Farmers Clubs, Township Units,
Commercial Clubs, Township School
Day Organizations, School Districts,
Home Township Units, or any other
within the county.
No entry or enrolment will be re-
uuired but the president or some of
ficer of the organization will be re-
quired to vouch for the number seat
ed in their gathering to the officer of
the Farm Bureau in charge of this
work. The question is which COM
munity will get these beautiful flags.
There will be the first and second
Size FLAGS awarded to the highest and
next highest, including ell children.

AS Rodney Martin, Richard .Juene-
man is found to be in love with his
fathers secretary, Loretta Kolbet,
who takes the part of Mary Grayson.
The secretary plans a frame-up with
Cyrus Martin John Jackson) that
she will use her influence and play on
Kodney's sentiment in getting him
to go to work. 1t works Rodney
decides to enter the business world as
soap manufacturer and competi-
tor of his father, Cyrus, who controls
the soap market. Before entering
upon the duties as president of his
new enterprise Rodney is advised by
Ambrose Peale (R. P. Nelson), that
the only efficient manner in which to
enter the business field is to adver-
tise. Rodney is convinced, and with
the aid of Peale, an advertising cam
paign is started for the benefit of
one man, Rodney's father.
With the funds running low from
the strenuous advertising done, the
firm finds itself in precarious cir
cumstances and trys plan to sell to
Cyrus Martin. This fails, however,
but Mr.. Martin is so pleased with his
sons determination that he has a
large jobbing house place the first
order; an order for fifty thousand
bars of the well-advertised soap.
So much time had been spent with
the advertising that the manufacture
of soap had been forgotten. Through
skillful maneuvering several orders
were placed with Cyrus Martin s
factories to, fill the only order the
firm had received.
All is well that ends well-Mr.
! Martin buys the factory Mary Gray

Ambrose Peale is given a position
with dignity-and all live happily
everafter.
The work of Chloris Kramer as
Countesse de Beaurien, the young
American girl in the French makeup
was exceptionally good as was Sid
ney Collins as Ellery Clark, the son
of a wealthy business competitor of
Mr.. Martin. The parts of Theodore
Ahrens as Johnson the butler, Elsie
Mckay as Marie the Maid, Clifford
Arnett as William Smith, a wealthy
banker and friend of the Martins
Katherine Stewart as Miss Burke
and Herbert Whittet as Donald Nc
Chesney, the collector were all well
acted. For the second time this sea-
son, R. P. Nelson has shown ability
as director of home talent plays.
Each role was selected to the best ad-
vantage and there was no slipshod
work, both play and players giving
much pleasure to the large audience.
