Rev. 4. ]. RinkoI
ulyeS Dramatic
Talk Sun. Eve.
DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT WIS.,
ITS REDWOOD FALLS; OCCU-
PIES PULPITS IN LOCAL AND
NEW AVON CHURCHES.

An extremely interesting talk on
the Church and The Drama was
given by Rev. Arthur J. Rinkel at the
Methodist Episcopal Church last
Sunday evening. An original dram
atization of the twenty-first chapter
of First Kings was given at the close
Of the talk. Mr. Rinkel is the Dis
trict Superintendent of the Marshall
District and was the guest last week
OF Rev. Paul L. Grove, pastor of the
local Methodist Church. He occu-
pied the pulpit at the morning service
and preached at The New Avon
Church Sunday afternoon.
The subject used by Mr. Rinkel
dealt entirely with drama which had
its origin in religion. Drama has
for its purpose the re-acting Of life
said Mr.. Rinkel. at must contain
love and struggle. If it is carried
to one extreme it may become COM
edy. If carried to another, tragedy
will be the result" Many years ago
the Church went from one extreme
to another. 1t started drama, made
its mistake by surrendering it to the
commercial world and has realized
the mistake it thus made years ago.
1t is slowly going back to the enact
ing of drama with sermons.
Religious drama has q place in our
church life" said the speaker, 'yet
should not be undertaken as a part
of Church work unless in the most
reverent spirit" Mr. Rinkel does
not believe in sacrificing Art and
stated that drama should not be used
in connection with the church unless
the presentation is Of the best and a
high standard is maintained. The
right usage of drama is in his opin-
ion glorifying God in a very real
sense and is a fitting means of giving
Gods message.
The dramatic version of the por-
tion of the Bible selected by him was
written by Mr.. Rinkel and has been
repeatedly and very successfully used
by him to illustrate his talk on the
value of the drama in the Church.
1t is written in three acts ard is laid
in the vineyard Of Naboth the Jezree-
lite. Ahab, King of Samaria, in pass
ing the vineyard stopped and asked
Naboth the gift of this rich vineyard.
Naboth refused the King, who then
left in rage. At the palace Jezbel
the naughty wife and queen of Ahab
inquired into the Kings rage. Upon
being informed of the refusal Of Ma
both, Jezebel, acting in harmony with
her usual temperament, ordered that
Naboth be stoned to death
Upon taking possession of the vine
yard, Ahab and Jezebel were con-
fronted by Elijah the Tishbite, who
said, Behold | will bring evil upon
thee and will take away thy poster
ity wherewith thou hast provoked me
to anger and made Israel to sin. y
The story closed with the touching
and beautiful story of Ahab's re-
pentance and his forgiveness by the
Lord The whole drama was a beau
tiful presentation of the lesson that
the prophecy Of this scripture is re-
echoed through life-of how few
there are who make complete con-
Secration of themselves and their
lives.

Farm Bureau HELMS
"RefOreStatiOn'' In
Redwood County
WINDBREAkS DISCUSSED WITH
FARMERS BY PARKER o. AN
DERSON; SMUT PREVENTION
WEEK COMES NEXT.

dIhcT ". ANDERSON, Extension
Forestry Specialist, assisted the Coun-
ty Agent in meetings held at Delhi,
Springdale, and Milroy, Tuesday and
Wednesday in the interest of better
windbreaks for farmsteads. He also
met with a park committee at Mil
roy, concerning the planting of trees
in town.
The State Forestry Division furn-
ishes trees at cost merely of gather
ing and packing for shipment for
demonstration windbreak to some
farmer who will cooperate in each
township. Several townships in the
county have no cooperators. Any
one interested should get in touch
with the County Agent Anyone re-
questing will be given assistance in
these plans.
There is great need in this coun-
ty for improving the windbreaks. A
good windbreak has commercial val
ue to any farm. Many are getting
thin, dying out and becoming practi-
cally useless as a windbreak. Many
other farms have absolutely no pro-
lection whatever and yet farmers will
live year after year without making
any effort to have windbreak.
Owners of many tenant farms need
to consider the value of windbreak
and ways and means of getting one
started. Most tenants would CO.
operate with the landowners in this
if asked to do it and consulted in the
value of a windbreak Now is the
time to think about windbreaks, but
unless the ground is already prepar-
ed do not order trees tomorrow, but
plan to prepare the ground next year
and set out the trees year from this
spring. 1t would be mistake to pur-
chase trees this year unless the
ground is prepared.
February 2l to 81 is Smut Pre-
vention Week. 1t has become neces-
sary to put on a campaign for the
prevention of smut in the various
farm crops. A report from the Ex-
tension Plant Pathologist, E. c. Rose,
University Farm, compiled from the
records of grain shipped from the
various points in Redwood County,
shows some communities badly in
fected. The towns and percentage of
infection are as follows: The report
also shows

Smut spores are carried in thresh-
ing machines, on grain sacks, and

chinery 1t is very easy for your
own seed to become infected from out

Mr.. Rose is to spend Thursday and
Friday here in Redwood County at
tending meetings and assisting in the
campaign to prevent the enormous

Peter Peanut and Percy Popcorn
lived in the same glass case in front
of the candy store. But Peter and
Percy were not friends. Indeed, they
scarcely spoke to each other when
they met on the shelf.
Peters a tough" Percy declared
loudly-loudly enough for Peter to
hear.
"Percy's snob." shifted Peter,
even louder than Percy.
They were both speaking to Bea-
trce Chocolate Bar. Beatrice nodded
and smiled at them, agreeing with
each in turn. Beatrice was the most
popular girl on the second shelf of
the glass case, because she was
always SO sweet to every one.
Peter and Percy fought to see
which one would get to sit next to
her on the shelf. They were well
matched. SO it was a long and hard
fight. Percy came out of it with
one of his pretty little white bumps
knocked off, while poor Peter suffered
a fractured hull Both We're laid up

A green pine tree on a white back
ground was used as the insignia of
several of the New England colonies.
while the Southern colonies started to
use the rattlesnake insignia in 1854.
Later, in 1775 some of the Southern
States adopted a blue flag bearing a
white crescent.
Then came the Revolution. and on
January /, 1875. the first flag of the
American nation was unfurled over
Washington's headquarters at Cam
bridge, Mass. The colonists had taken
as their flag the red British banner
and had divided the red field with
white stripes. This flag still included
the British Union Jack.
AS the war progressed and the idea
Of independence grew, the Union Jack
was dropped and stripes Of various
colors were used. Finally came the
flag with red and white stripes and
white stars in a blue field-the only
really distinctive feature in the mod
ern flag.
Having established this flag. there
was an argument over the kind of
stars that should be used. Washing
ton was in favor of the sixpointed
star, but Betsy Ross carried the day
In favor Of the f1ve.pointed star by
showing the American commander
that 1t was easier to cut with pair
of scissors.
The Star Spangled Banner, with 13
stars and 13 stripes, was officially
adopted by Congress on June IA, 1777.
Later, in 1894, the admission of two
States to the Union led to the increas-
ing Of the number Of stars and stripes,
and a banner with Is bars and Is
stars was used throughout the War of
1912.
However, as the country grew and
more States were admitted, it became
apparent that a new stripe could not
be added for each State because of the
limited size Of the design. Therefore.
this plan WAS limited to the addition
OF stars. and the stripes were kept at
10. to stand for the original States.
Since then the growth Of the flag
has merely followed the growth Of the
country, and the American banner on
Flag day, 1926. is found to be a long
development Of the ancient cross Of
the crusaders and of the flag of Eng
land, the mother country

The Lesson of a Flag.

A bit Of red wool or cotton by itself
means nothing. A bit Of white cloth.
or bit of blue cloth, by itself means
lust as little. But when the blue and
the red and the white are combined
into the American flag, they mean all
that his country means to every true
American. And 50 1t is with the
colors that make up the flag OF any
nation.
There is a lesson In these flags. The
red in the flag Of the United States
stands for courage, the white Tor
purity, and the blue for devotion and
faithfulness.
Just as a bit of red cloth means
nothing in itself. so is courage Of little
value unless it exists In pure heart
and is devoted to good cause. AS
meaningless as the white cloth is the
purity for which 1t stands. without
the courage to carry out and live that
purity and the devotion to be true to

Stories From Owners of Pets.

II the My Pet" editor doesn't know
lot about all kinds of animals. it
isn't the fault of the boys and girls
who write to him about their pets.
Almost every possible animal must
have a kind master or mistress some
where in the country, and we are
eag ger to hear about all of them. This
week there are some unusually smart
pets that readers of the column have
written about for us.
Pal Is an Alarm Clock.
According to a letter from Frances
Lucille Ebersall of Springfield. Ohio,
her dog is q delightful playmate. The
dogs name is Pal She dresses him
up in doll clothes and gives him rides
in her doll buggy.
Frances says that playing dolls"
with Pal is a great deal more fun than
playing with glass" dolls. In the
evening Frances and Pal walk to the
corner of the street to meet Frances
daddy. Pal can play ball, too. She
says that in the morning when 1t is
time for her to get up and dress for
school the dog comes upstairs to
awaken her. Pal is black. brown and
white. with a large spot Of black on
his back. Dogs are dogs, but Frances
says that Pal is a very unusua, one,
and we agree with her.

Peter and Percy were not moved to
friendship by her sympathy. They
continued to brood over their hatred
for each other. Peter determined
that he would do away with Percy
as soon as his fractured hull began
to heal. OF course, there was no way

rided he would murder Peter just as
soon as he was able to hobble around
on his remaining bumps.
