ATTACK. SCORE 81 TO Is.

The Guardsmen retained their win

touted Ascension tribe of Minneapolis
at the Armory Saturday night, Feb
ruary 9th. Playing before the larg-
est house of the season the home boys
came through with an effective "a to
16 win. By defeating the Ascensions
the Guardsmen have won the right to
play the 151st or any other Independ-
ent team for the championship of Min
nesota.
Playing an entirely defensive game,
both teams gave all they had. The
battle started when Lindenberg, all
state man, dropped in field counter,
which was the only score that the
Guards registered ir the first quar-
ter At the end OF the first period
the score stood to 2 with the visitors
leading, Barrett and Redmond doing
the scoring for the Ascensions. Bar

the usual man to man defense which
looked as though no scoring would be
done. Donlin, Lindenberg, Nordquist,

emblem. 1t is expected that before
night there will be at least thous-
and people in the Boosters ranks.
Sixty women are working on the pro-
ject. endeavoring to make this the
biggest tag day this community has
ever seen and they need the consistent
help and cooperation of every resi-
dent, no matter how young or old.
All funds raised through the sale of
the Bath Houth Boosters tags will be
devoted to the new bath house pro-
ject as launched several weeks ago by
the Redwood Falls Commercial Club.
The womens organizations represent

mans Relief corps, the Womans Aux

Womans Club, the Twentieth Century
Club and the Equality Club. These
women will make house to house
canvas of the residence portion of the
city and will also assist in the sale
of tags on the street in the downtown
section.
The sponsors of the plan are very
liberal in saying that these tags may
be purchased for any sum from TWEEN

given that both the director and cast
are to be complimented on the ex-
cellent work done.
Russell Reynolds, cast for the lead
ing role, impersonated Robert Ben
net with very good effect. Playing
opposite him as Gwen Ralston. Mrs.
Perry Nelson made a charming and
winsome young woman of the mod
ern type. Miss Margaret Adams as
the dignified and ultra-socialized Mrs.
Ralston did splendid bit of character
work. Ted Pease as E. M. Ralston,
the head of stockholders firm
played with considerable finish the
part of the typical stock broker. Rex
Miller as one of the Junior partners
of the firm, and also as devotee of
certain ladies" was in his natural
element and showed it! Leon Brown
created many of the laugh-opportun-
tiles of the evening by his very real
istic portrayal of the Bishop who had
an eye for things of this world.
B. E. Marsh, well cast as Van Dusen,
the man about town, figured with
the Bishop and Ralston in one of the
amusing scenes. Miss Grace Hubbard
played Ethel Clark, social butter
fly with smattering of voice, most
effectively. Miss Genevieve Bert
rand's impersonation OF Mable, the
innocent young chorus LADY, was
greeted with much approval by her
audience. Miss Lucy Monohan doing
team work with Mabel, was also a
favorite
The play in itself is pleasing
comedy, and its selection is also
matter of credit to its sponsors. AL
though this play, since it is one of
the big successes, can be played only
upon the payment of good-sized
royalty, the Legion showed its wis
dom in paying this amount rather
than in presenting something more
trivial and less well built. The play
itself is full of amusing situations
set forth in exceedingly clever lines
and even through it had been less
well done it would have proved worthy
of attendance. However, since it was
so exceedingly well presented it cons
stituted an evening of real dramatic
entertainment.

PRINCIPAL LOCAL ROUTES.

Redwood County's allotment of
state aid: for use on main county
roads this year is s22.330, as. Official
ly announced this week. The amount
is comparable to $22,329 Of 1925 pay
ments to the fund from this county,
on which the apportionment is bas-
ed, but will come out Of 1926 general
property tax collections. The money
will be drawn diAect from the state
treasury by Auditor L. P. Larson and
applied on road work under the
county commissioners and engineer.
The only three counties receiving
considerably less in aid than they
paid under the one mill state aid tax
are ST. Louis, Hennepin and Ram
sey. The tax yield in those counties
last yeaft was nearly 100000 in ex-
cess of their new aid apportionments,
and that difference is spread for the

The liberal attitude of the people

MY Neighbor Says:

II you do not have a regular
canning boiler cut a piece OF
heavy wire screening such as is
used to cover cellar windows,
six inches wider than the boiler
and two inches shorter. With
wire pliers bend the wire down
on each side. This makes
substantial rack.
If you keep a crochet needle
in your work basket it will save
you great deal of time and
bother when the end of a draw
ing string or tape disappears
within it's casing. They can
easily be drawn out with the
hook.
Window shades can be cleaned
with a rough flannel cloth
dipped in -four.
When preparing bread crumbs
for escalloped dishes, croquettes,
etc, tie a cloth or paper bag
over the mouth of the meat
grinder and put the bread in.
The crumbs will then be de-
posted in the bag instead of be-
ing scattered on the floor.
Cakes mus be cold before be-
ing iced. The best results are
obtained when the cake is made
one day and iced the next.
An easy way to keep silver
bright is to put a handful of
borax in a pan Of hot water with
a very little soap. Place the
silver in this and let it stand
the entire morning. Rinse in
clear water and wipe dry with
a soft cloth.
