SEVENTEEN" IS
PRESENTED BY
SENIOR CLASS
BOOTH TARKINGTON'S SEVEN
TEEN" HAS SUCCESSFUL PRE-
SENTATION BY THE SENIOR
CLASS MAY 18TH.

Booth Tarkington's comedy, Seven
teen," selected as the Senior class play
and directed by Miss Leila Atcher-
son, involved more merit than was
easily discernible in its excitements
and emotions. 1t was reminiscent of
the days when one was seventeen and
was consequently appealing and en-
tertaining. This play was presented
by the Senior Class of the Redwood
Falls high school at the Lincoln school
auditorium Wednesday night, May 10.
William Wester, cast for the lead
ing role, impersonated Willie Baxter
very effectively. Playing as his OPP
posite was Gertrude Daskam as May
Parcher, the young lady who was so
fond of dress suits. AS Willie's lit
tie sister, Jane, so full of tales about
big brother, Helen Larson was greet
ed with much approval by her audi
ence. Gilbert Corbett and Priscilla
knudson as Mr.. and Mrs. Baxter,
cleverly portrayed the :diosyncrasies
of the modern parents. Loretta Kol-
bet as Lola Pratt and John jackson
as Johnnie Watson did their parts
with effect as did Ross Davis as Gen.
esis, the butler. Bernard Kramer as
Joe Bullitt, Robert Keefe as George
Crooper, Clarence Schmid as Mr.. Par
cher, Lillian Stewart as Ethel Boke,
Chloris Kramer as Mary Brooks and
Harold Duncan as Wallie Banks were
very effective in their parts.
The play in itself is pleasing COM
edy and it's selection is also matter
OF credit to its sponsors. Very clever
and unique with good characterize
ton, full of many amusing situations
set forth in exceedingly clever lines
the play constituted an evening of en-
joyable entertainment.

Sc VARIETIES OF
CORN PLANTED in
MINNESOTA TEST
THREE EXPERIMENTAL PLOTS
SEEDED IN BROWN, WATON-
WAN AND COTTONWOOD COUN-
TIES.

Seven farmers from each of the
three counties furnished seed, togeth-
er with eight strains from University
farm and one variety from seed
house. The University farm seed in
cluded several new strains which
have been developed by Professor H.
Z. Hayes, plant breeder.
A tract of land covering three and
one-half acres on the Charles Hammer
farm west of Odin was used for the
Watonwan plot. 1t was divided in
to 108 tracts, all hand planted. It
was placed in three different series
to allow for different types of soil.
When the corn is out CT the ground
it will be thinned. Every care will be
taken to permit the corn to grow at
its best, and to obtain uniform
stand. Maturity is expected to vary
due to the difference in strains.
In the fall the corn will be dried and
the moisture removed SO that the
yields may be measured on dry bas-
IS. From this the results will be OBJ
tanned to prove exactly the WORTH
ness Of each strain and its adaptive
ability to the variety of soil.

For the third time within a period

horses, ten head of young cattle, a
thousand bushels of oats, some hay,
harness and other equipment. Mr..

which the fire occurred was burned
about the hands and arms to such an
extent that he was taken to the Red
wood Falls Hospital for treatment and
was still there today.
A second fire claimed attention fol-
