) II am a boy 10 years old. My
names James. We are very poor.
Will some one be a good fellow to
me and my poor sick mother and
my five sisters. Daddy has left us;
he don't give mother nothing, and
Joe Stork will soon be here. Mother
cries all time; there will not be any
Santa Claus for US unless some
helps us.
we will just have to find a GOOD
FELLOW for James. He sure needs
one.
We have received one plea for a
good fellow from little girl named
Evelyn, who has three little brothers
and sisters and whose Daddy was
killed in an aeroplane accident. I'm
fortunately, Evelyn forgot to put
her address in the letter. II she
reads this and sends us her address
we will find a GOOD FELLOW for
her.
/ 1t looks as if the GOOD FEEL
LOWS will have right to be proud
of themselves this year. The re-
Spouse to the appeals has been so
generous and everybody has been
anxious to cooperate. One Fub-
stantial contribution came from a
man who is not a Washingtonian,
but merely spending few days
here.
He saw the GOOD FELLOW
column in The Washington Times
and decided he wanted to join in
the relief work. That is the spirit
that is making the GOOD Eel
Low movement a success.
More GOOD FELLOWS are need
ed all the time, for although most
Of the bad appeals received during
the past week have been attended
to. a stream of new appeals arrives
with every mail. If youffeel that 1t
will be possible for you to help
make somebody's Christmas happy,
join the good fellows.
Fill out the GOOD FELLOW
blank send it to the GOOD FELL
Low Editor, The Washington
Times, Hearst Building, Washing
ton D. C.
The editor sends you the name OF
that person or of those persons
who need something at this time
of the year. You are then a GOOD
FELLOW. And 60 and see for
yourself just what is needed
Then you supply that want, that
demand.

pected that a week or so may
elapse before any appointments are
made.
AS enacted, the measure; stipu-
lates that one Commissioner shall
serve two years, as from July /,
1926, while the other shall hold
office for three years from that
date. The Engineer Commissioner
will act as chairman of the utilities
oody, and the President must APP
point an attorney, to be known
as peoples counsel, to serve
for four years.
Members of the commission, in
Guiding the peoples counsel, will
receive $500 annually.
Now that the public utilities bill
has been signed by President Cool
idge, a deficiency appropriation for
the immediate expenses of the new
body is being prepared by District
officials. and shortly will be sub
mitted to the House and Senate
District committees.
The item, providing for the sal.
aries Of the two civilian utility COM
missioners, and the overhead ex-
penses, will be inserted in the first
deficiency bill.
The names of r. H. Alcorn, chair
man of the Joint Committee on Re.
tirement, e. H. Tucker and L. B.
Perkins, civic leaders, were men,
toned today as among those In

Opposition is raised by few in
the city of Duluth to these reductions,
but that city will continue it's advan-
tage in shipments from that port to
eastern markets in an amount of from
9 to Is cents per hundredweight, on
flour, wheat and all other grain.
"The cuts made by these railroads
will assist all producers of cattle and
other products and the benefit will ac-
crue, not alone, to the producers Of
small grains, but also to the farmers
directly, in reduced freight rates in
an incalculable amount and will con-
tinue this advantage through the year
by railroad transportation, whereas,
shipments by water can avail only
few months each year"

Using. He stated that he had a col
lection of 400 excellent views of the
park, probably the largest collection
ever gathered in tract the size of
Ramsey State Park. Mr.. Hitchcock
stressed the need of more foot paths
to portions of the park now hardly ac-
cessable and in which some of the
finest views are being neglected.
Another matter of great Importance
was discussed at length in, which it
was suggested that the Club foster
a movement to call a cattle feeders
meeting in Redwood Falls which
the feeders of the southern part of
Renville County also be invited to at
tend. The object of this meeting is to
formplate plans to buy feeders in CO.
operative way by designating men who
understand the cattle business to go
west and buy cattle for them and have
the cattle shipped here direct instead
of getting them through the packing
plants and running chances of get
ting poor and diseased stock. This
method of feeding would also cut
down on the cost of the stock to the

fore he came to Redwood Falls and
gained many friends through his help
fulness, his ability and his willing

patriotism brought him the admira-
ton of all patriotic citizens. Even
under somewhat hostile neighborhood
conditions he at that time maintain
ed his strict adherance to the govern

much to further all patriotic move

he did at this time was to run his
large farm unassisted in order that

share of service in France.

H. M. HITCHCOCK
SHOWS COLLECTION
OF FINE PICTURES

taken by Glenn Lukens during his
residence here and are extremely ar
tistic bits of photography. The col
lection depicts the artistry of the frost
in series of most graceful and fairy
like winter pictures, the dashing beau
ty of river and falls during the var
ious flood periods, the park animals
at the several seasons of the year
in fact the story of a year-round beau
ty is well told One Of the most un-
usual and striking of the pictures, and
one possibly seldom seen is that of
the gnarled old redwood near the
power house in the lower city park.
Historically the book has been well
and carefully arranged and follow
ing of its pages unrolls before one the
progress of the city. One of the most
interesting early pictures is that Of
the main street of Redwood Falls in
1868, when a schooner train of Swed-
ish emigrants had stopped here for
a short rest. Another is that of the
first sawmill, built the same year, by
the United States Government. The
picture of logs rolling into Redwood
river is one that should thrill the
present generation which has no re-
collection of any such an industry.
Another picture which is perhaps not
to be automatically called ''histori-
cal" is still likely to be viewed from
that angle. This print shows group
of women dressed in the trailing long
skirts and small high-perched hats
of the period, resting on snow-cover-
ed logs with a background of frozen
waterfall. 1t is a most beautiful
sort of a portaiture of Mrs. Howard,
Mrs. Finn, Mrs. Hitchcock, Mrs.
Dornfeld, Mrs Nook and Mrs. Peter
son. The observer is intrigued by
the thought of winter hike through
Ramsey in the garb worn by these
ladies; by contrast the short skirt or
the handy knickers of the present age
seem highly desirable.
The picture of the McPhail cabin
carries by it's side a readable, brief
history of this picturesque old land
mark. A similar short story accom-
panies the picture of DR.. Chas. A..
Eastman, the most notable Indian in
America, who in his boyhood, was the
original "Boy Scout" with all of the
wilds Of this vicinity to scout in.
Space does not permit the reprinting
of these two histories here, but to Mr..
Hitchcock the lovers of history are in
debted for having put in this perm
anent form two accounts of value to
the history of this section.
This in brief is the idea and scope
Of this collection which has for it's
purpose the keeping of a record of
the development of the parks, both
city and state, located here, as we'll
as the perpetuation of the beauties Of
the scenery which is the greatest as
set possessed by this locality. Mr..
Hitchcock is to be commended for his
thoughtful preparation of such a book
which will increase in value as re-
cord as the years go by, and many of
the changes which cannot be fore
stalled take place. 1t is unique and
beautiful as we'll as valuable as re-
cord.
