STATE LEADERS
TALK TO LEGION
MEN FRIDAY Eve
RUFUS RAND AND OTHER LE-
GION OFFICIALS MEET LOCAL
POST MEMBERS AT SUB-DIS.
TRICT BANQUET.

Discussing the privileges and op-
portunities of the Legionaires as cit
izens, Rufus Rand, State Commander
of the American Legion, gave the
principle talk at the banquet and rally
of the second sub-district which in
cluded representatives of posts from
Belview, Sleepy Eye, Lamberton, Sea-
forth, Ssnborn, Walnut Grove and
Redwood Falls, with about $50 pres
ent. The banquet was held at the
Knights of Pythias Hall Friday night,
December 3rd, with the American
Legion Auxiliary serving. Fred
Macs, the Posts chaplain acted as
POSTMASTER and called upon the
states oldest Legionaire, DR.. C. p.
Gibson, to open the banquet with a
prayer. Short talks were made by
DR.. A. F. Branton of Willmar, State
Membership Director DR.. Wilbur
Smith of Pipestone, Second District
Commander and E. L, Spencer, local
post commander.
In opening his talk Commander
Rand stressed the Importance of in
terpreting the thought of the Legion
to the public. "Try to present the
articulate thought so the public will
see us in a different light" said the
speaker. "My idea is to make clear to
you that firm ground on which we,
as Legionaires, tread. At the Phila-
delphia Convention this year I saw
$4,000 Legionaires. What is the force
of this mass of people? There are
100000 legionaires, $4,000 of whom
are or will be in Minnesota. Realize
that each member of your Post is
the reflection of some other member
in some other post in some other
state. We have every classification
color and creed in the Legion.
Before the late war, situated as we
were, believe that we had less pat
riotism for America than any other
country had for itself. Since the wal
it is different among the Legionaires
and others. If we can recognize and
feel our own self respect dominate
1 know we will stand forever the
body we started out to be. In time
Of stress, whether it be political
stress or a national crises the Legion
will stick together and for America.

'ONLY 80" Is
PRONOUNCED One
OF SEASONS BEST
AMATEUR CAST PROVES ADAPT
ABLE IN COMEDY DEPICTING
LIFE OF MINISTER'S WIDOW
AND HER TWINS.

The local home talent play follow
ers were treated to one of the best
amateur plays ever staged in Red
wood Falls Thursday night, Decem-
Der End, at the Lincoln School Audi
torium. The play, "Only 38" was
presented for the benefit of the Par
ent-Teachers Association and was
very successfully directed by Miss
Leila Atcherson. Between the acts
James and Clarence Keefe entertain
ed with a well executed clog dance
while Hauck's Orchestra furnished
the music.
The play, a satirical comedy on the
life of minister's widow and her two
dignified children, in which mistaken
dignity forms an interesting plot, was
handled in an unusual way and furn.
ished much good comedy. Miss Mar
garet Adams as Mrs. Stanley, the
widow, played the leading role in a
very clever and interesting manner
Ted Ahrens and Mary Finn as Rob
ert and Lucy, the very dignified twins
of Mrs. Stanley, acted their parts
in true actor style and deserve much
credit. Roy Stephens as Mr.. San
born, father of Mrs. Stanley, playee
this character part in good style ane
pleased his audience with his wit ane
humor. Mr.. A. F. Dahlberg, as Pro
fessor Giddings, the widows wooer
acted this heavy role successfully.
Mrs. Newcomb and Mrs. Peters, the
two village gossips, acted by Miss
Margaret McNaughton and Miss Inni:
Thompson, were clever, the young la
dies playing their roles in an interest
ing manner. Mary Hadley and sgd
ney Johnson, played by Marie AISLE
SON and Shirley Shippee, as especia
friends of Lucy and Robert Stanley
were well impersonated and they re
ceived much favorable comment. Jim
my and Charlie played by Roy Warn
er and Carl Melges and Alice ane
| Ruth by Aneta Buchanan and Edns
Harris typified the modern colleg,
student in characteristic style.
Miss Atcherson again has proven
her ability in directing home talen
ceptionally well, the lines were brigh

CONGRESS FACES
HEAVY WORK IN
SESSION NOW ON
LIQUOR, TAX CUT, FARM AID
AMONG MANY QUESTIONS
CROWDING FOR PLACE; EX-
SESSION POSSIBLE.

Congress is meeting late this year.
The session did not get under way
until Monday and must adjourn on
March 4. This gives less than three
months for legislative work, with the
Christmas holiday, which will un-
doubtedly be brief, to be substracted.
At first glance the task Of getting
through by March A seems impossible
and talk of extra session is heard on
every hand. President Coolidge, how
ever, believes congress will do its
work and be glad to go home early.
He would like to get away from
Washington late in the spring, and he
will be away from the White House
five or six months during period Of
repairs to the building.
Mr.. Coolidge is about the only per-
son who sees Legislative daylight
ahead.

will meet a snarl which it may be
unable to untangle sufficiently to pass
the appropriation bills by March 4

CHRISTMAS MUSIC
SUNG BY SCHOOL
DECEMBER l4TH
''WHY THE CHIMES RANG" TO BE
CHIEF FEATURE OF ANNUAL
CHRISTMAS MUSICALE; SEN
/IOR GLEE CLUB TO SING.

The combined talents of the entire
school will present Christmas Musi-
Gale at o'clock Tuesday evening,
December 14th, at the Lincoln School
The production is being directed by
Geneva M. Flygare who hopes to
make it one of the most interesting
events of the school years musical
activities.
The Christmas Spirit will be en-
bodied in every feature of the pro-
gram, which will open with carols and
hymns sung by a chorus of seventy
five voices selected from the Junior
High School. The entire enrolment
of the grades will be seated in the bal
cony and from there will sing their
carols and jingles.
"Why the Chimes Rang" play in
one act by Elizabeth Apthorp Nc
Fadden is to be the central part of
the entertainment. 1t is interesting
to note that in many colleges and
schools this production has become a
tradition. The atmosphere is one OF
religious exaltation and the divine
beauty of charity is the main theme
The music perhaps is the most i'm
portant single element in the play
however, the picturesque costumes of
MEDIEVAL times and the lighting eff
fects contrasted in the woOd-chopper's
hut which are set against the earthly
splendor of the cathedral chance
and which in it's turn is dimmed by
the miraculous presence of the angel
is a scene long to be remembered.
One of the finest chorals ever writ.
ten, the Hallelujah Chorus from Han
ders Messiah, will be the closing num-
Der. This will be sung by the Boy:
and Girls Glee Club of the Senior
High School. 1t has been the time
honored custom that the audience
stands whenever this impressive
chorus is sung in recognition of it:

composition and in Difference to it,

The program will start promptly a
8 o'clock and will be given in tn

PIONEER DIES
SUNDAY, DEC. 5TH
AT SONS HOME
JACOB WERDER DIES OF NATUR-
AL CAUSES AT AGE OF 86,
BURIED AT NEW AVON TO-
DAY.

Jacob Werder, the aged father of
Herman Werder of Redwood Falls,
died at the home of his son Sunday,
December 5th, death being due to the
natural causes of old age. The bur
ial service was held first at the Wer-
der home at one o'clock this afternoon
with church service following at the
Church of New Avon and interment
in the New Avon cemetery. The Rev
erend C. F. Rachel of Saint Paul was
the minister in charge. gA
The deceased was born in Canton,
Argau Switzerland, May 18th, 1S4O.
He and his wife came to America in
1869, coming directly to Redwood
County where they first located on
Crow Creek in Paxton Township,
three miles east of Redwood Falls.
In 1872 they took as a homestead a
farm of 100 acres in New Avon town
ship where they lived until Mrs. Wer-
der died in 1897. In 1901 Mr.. Werder
moved to Redwood Falls and on Janu-
airy 10Th he was married to Mrs. Rosa
Hauptli. She also preceded him in
death, passing away in January,
1906. Mr.. Werder, following the
death of his wife, made his home with
his children, spending the most Of
the winter months here with his son.
Besides this son, he is survived by his
daughters, Mrs. j. KRONER of Bird
Island, Mrs. Henry Sherman of Ano-
ka and Mrs. Willard Krinke of Man.
kato. There are also thirteen grand
children and eighteen great grand
children in his family.
The death of Mr.. Werder closes an
other chapter of the pioneer history
of Redwood County, he and his young
wife enduring many of the terrible
hardships Of the old days with all the
fortitude and courage characteristic
of their Swiss parentage. Their first
years in America were filled with un-
believable hardship. From this diff
cult beginning Mr.. Werder became
part of the early history OF the
County as citizen respected and hon.
ored by all who knew him.

CHICAGO.

American agriculture was summon
ed Monday to press with constant ag-
gressiveness toward federal farm aid
legislation, by Sam H. Thompson,
president, opening the eighth annual
convention of the American Farm
Bureau Federation in Chicago.
Thousands of farmers, gathered
for the greatest agrarian session of
the year heard that keynote, temper
ed with counsel of deliberate decision
on measures to meet their problems.
He urged nothing be done that
would in any degree injure the coop
erative marketing movement, which
he said, has performed "vast SER
vice." with the aid of state and ma
tional legislation, even though it has
not effected complete agricultural
stabilization.
owe have a right to expect what
ever additional legislation is needed
to effect further and more widespread
stabilization," President Thompson
said.
"There no longer is any difference
of opinion as to the immediate neeG
for adequately handling and dealing
with agricultural surpluses. Some
complementary and additional powers
must be given to agriculture for this
purpose.
"Stabilization of agriculture de-
pends upon making the supply of bas.
ic farm crops balance with the de
mand in our most important markets
at a fair and reasonably constant
price. Fundamentally, this is not
easy, because no matter how carefully
farmers regulate their paintings tt
meet a prospective demand, natura
allies and enemies of farm production
can and often do upset their best
plans.

YEAR.

Does Redwood County need anti
tuberculosis work? The fact that it
does is shown in a report just receiv-
ed from the Minnesota Public Health
Association by Mrs. J. L. Parsons, To-
cal Christmas Seal manager.
tuberculosis has killed 78 people in
Redwood County since 1913, accord
ing to this report. Deaths for the
last five years have numbered "a
Based on estimate of authorities that
there are nine active cases Of tuber-
culosis in given community for each
annual death, this County has at the
present time approximately Ga people
who have the disease in it's active
form. Eight Redwood County resi-
dents died of it in 1925.
"Find these cases early is the ap.
peal of the State Association. One Of
the most serious problems in tuber
culosis work, according to the organ
ization's leaders is the delay in dag
nosis and treatment of the disease
which is readily durable in its early
stages. For this reason the Free
Chest Clinics and general educationa
propaganda for periodic physical ex
animation, financed by Christmas
Seals, are of vital Importance. Three
chest clinics were held in the County
last year with 169 people examined
and helped.
OF interest, too, in view of the fact
that the Christmas Seal program has
been extended to embrace a we'll
rounded health promotion and disease
prevention program, are statistics OF
infant mortality for the County Civ

Twenty of the babies born in th'
County in 1924 died before their first
birthday, the report shows, and the
same number of those born during
1925 failed to live until they reached
the age of one year. Children exam.
