haps the principle reasoA for Sleepy
Eyes defea.. at Redwood Falls last
Friday evening when the team of that
city whipped the local cagers by a
score of 40 to 35. The fray was just
as fast and thrilling as the score
might indicate, especially in the first
half when both aggregations ran neck
and neck.
Sleepy Eyes disadvantage was the
floor and the backboards which ex-
tended far out from the balcony.
Redwood jumped far into the
lead in the final half. They were
more speedy, skillful and accurate
and the victory they won was merit
ed. The Sleepy Eye team has at
least displayed a marked improve
ment in bo:h the Lamberton and Red
wood Falls games"
The First National Bank of Bertha
Mimi, has as it's cashier j. c.. Miller,

The statement of this bank for Dec

ing what can be done in localities
where the dairy COW gets merited at
tention. Bertha is a town of about
six hundred population. The bank
statement shows that the institution
has a cash reserve of $81,047.82 with
a required reserve of S15 $4,000. It's
deposits amount to 1852 ,287.79; its
capital stock is S25,OO0.OO and its sur
plus S16,OOO.00. Among its resourc-
es is listed Ss1,O47.82 due from banks
and cash on hand.
The New .Ulm High School debat-
ing team lost to the Mankato team
in two to one decision Monday ev-
ening, when they debater the child
labor question. The local team up
held the affirmative side of the ques-
ton. Notwithstanding a change had
been made in the personnel of the
New Ulm team they showed consid-
cradle strength in the direct argu-
ment of the question as we'll as in
rebuttal. The local team was COM
posed of Fred Lippmann, Henry
Somsen, Jr., and Helen Hage. Henry
Semen took the place of Margaret
Eichten on the team. The New Ulm
team upheld the affirmative side of
the argument. This was change in
sides, also, as in the last debate with
Redwood Falls, they had the mega
tive side.-Brown County Journal.

Clothing Is Needed

Miss Mabel Baillie, Executive sec
rotary of the Redwood County Red
Cross, states that she has urgent
need for supply of clothing for peo-
pie coming under her attention Chi.
dren's shoes are the biggest need of
the moment. Next to that comes
the need of under clothing, that for
children being especially needed. Miss
Baillie's cloths closet has had many
calls made upon it during the past
several weeks and is badly in need of
replenishment. Will residents of Red
wood Falls send such articles as they
may wish to donate to Miss Baillie's
office at the court house or phone
329 that she may send for them?

MORE, LIGHT NEEDED

If the Connecticut Iighta& Power company salcsmen want to do the public service and help the com- pany's e3chequor at the same time they could do worse than talking to the New Haven railroad manage mcnt regarding tho aI}isabili'y Of installing better and more modern lighting facilities at inc terminals in New Britain and al Berlin. Per haps there arc other stations Of the railroad where similar improve mcnt can b. made,
 The lights at these stations are of the dim incan1cscont variety; and especially is this true at Der lin. The value of well lighted premises around railroad stations evidently has not yet percolatcd 10 the New Haven m.n@s,mcnt.
 The lights at E'rhn are so dim that strangers seeking to reach New Britain arc soroly ir.el in ali tempting 10 frI which way 10 turn, or 10 read inc signs,

NEW HAVEN BUS LINES

The IA or 15 bus routes which will be Operated by the New Ha- ven railroad are to be feeders for the railroad line and will enable the railroad to stop trains at fewer stations. This prospect is not sur prising. The railroad has been changing is time tables frequently and il is q tOss-up whether sym pathies of tho bcho!der lay with inc railroad or the public. When a railroad is bent upon making only profitable stops some part of inc public will not be greatly proGted, 10 say the least.

OUR MHDER WINTERS

But q will ingness 10 take chance in this re- spect prodisposes a 100 10 1 shot and fl q rigorous winter has set in before this sees daylight it means that the dark horse has won.
 It was a trolley operator who spoke the other day to the effect that when he was q boy in these parts it was customary to have deep snow the entire winter and 1t was possible for boys to glide on hob sleds right over the farm fences, there being no fences in sight due 10 the heavy snoWfalIs of tho winters.
 Of course, nearly everyone has read of such things; but reading and experiencing them are entirely different. Some scientists say tho climate of New England has amelioratod during the past 30 years; others are not so sure. The difficulty of coming to an agree nent about this interesting ques- ton is that weather records in the old t,ys were not as complete as they are today and there is really nothing but hearsay 10 bank upon.

WAsHINGTON's MORALITY

IL was little more than a week ago that we ran an editorial de- precating the tendency Of some au- thors and lecturers 10 traduce the memories of great men; but little did we think that Rupert Hughes, author and screen writer, would en- ter the lists of those who have been attracting attention to them selves by throwing the mud bricks Of aspersions against great men.
 Perhaps Rupert Hughes is en- tirely sincere; at least, he has taken the pains to state explicitly what he said originally, and has not taken the tlme-honorcd route of claiming he was misquoted. But his efforts are Of little avail: he will bring upon himself the con- demnation of patriotic Americans who do not see the sense of claim ing the founder of his country was anything but an ideal citizen in every respect.
 If George Washington was great card player, distiller of whiskey, and D champion curser," these items were his personal af- fairs. All of these accomplish ments'' were entirely legitimate. There continue to be great card players even 10 our own day; the distiling Of whiskcy was legal un- til the 18th amendment stopped it. and Mir. Mellon, distinguished gentleman of the present political Fschool, was interested in whiskey distilleries; and as for cursing, this also is not entirely out of date, Whether the father of his country was a "champion" at 1t or not it may be hard 10 prove. At any rate, it is scarcely worth while to rattle such dry bones at this late day. Americans honor Washington for what he did for his country at its birth. The fact that he was master Of the Masonic lodge at Alexandria, Va, for years would indicate that his fellow citizens and the brethren of the lodge thought his personal character was worthy of respect.
 We rather think Rupert Hughes made q stab at some publicity; and well admit he got it.
