Give US the good old days again,
When women not proud and vain;
When fashion did not sense outrun,
And tailors had need to dun;
When wealthy parents not fools,
And common taught in schools;
When hearts and friends were true,
And Satan had not much to do"
So the fourth stanza Of yearning song sung
at the annual meeting of early settlers association
in Presbyterian church.
Judging from the frequent complaints Of the present
times hear all sides that song might have been
Justify sung any day this week by any early settlers
association anywhere. Actually it was sung May
20, 1880
Judging also from the things read in biographies
and histories and ancient classics song of similar inn
port might have been sung in any past age and will
undoubtedly be popular when today's infants in
their fifties and sixties.
Occasionally some old-timer with unusually honest
memory does rise to say the present times actual
ly better than "the good old days" of his youth But
his type is rare Mostly people for the fu
ture despairng of the present and very sentimental
about the past. ,-~=z-

GOOD PROGRAM
AT CHAUTAUOUA
PRESENTATION TUESDAY Ev-
ENING OF "LIGHTNIN' BY
SPRAGUE PLAYERS is ENJOY
ED BY MANY.

This years Chautauqua program,
which opened most auspiciously un-
der the big tent at the Lincoln school
Monday afternoon, is rich in enter
tainrlent features of the very best
sort. Two excellent dramatic num-
bers were given Tuesday when Rip
Van Wrinkle formed the big feature
of the afternoon program and Light
MIN was given in the evening. In
addition to these two there are still
some good amusement features to
come. One Of these is the ooh Percy

Message of Mars" one of the sea-
sons biggest attractions, will be CIV
en- Friday evening.
For good comedy che Sprague play

no doubt will enjoy the distinction of
being by far the best comedy present
ed to the people of Redwood Falls in
many months. A large crowd attend
ed the Tuesday night performance.
The opening program Monday af-
ternoon was entirely musical and
was presented by the Alamos. This
very musical organization also gave
the evening prelude to the humorous
and philosophical lecture by Herbert
Leon Cope Monday evening. The af-
ternoon program was pleasing and
the evening lecture captivated the in
terest and admiration of the tent-fill-
ing audience. Tuesdays programs
were received by even larger audi.
ences and it is evident that there is
no lack of interest in the twelve pro-
grams. The various programs are
being most ably managed by Mrs.
Gordon assisted by members of the
local committee.
There are still number of excell-
ent attractions even though the sea-
son is half over today. In addition to
the players mentioned there are a
number of strong lectures. DIR. r. l..
M. Dorreen will speak on "The Bull
wark of the Nation" tonight. The

FLOOD SUFFERERS
EXCELLENT COOPERATION OF
CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS
is PRAISED BY MISS MONA
CALLISTER.

The final campaign conducted IN
Redwood County for the relief of
Mississippi Flood Sufferers has come
to a close. Citizens of Redwood
County have. responded splendidly to
the call for Disaster Relief and our
bit has been contributed to keep the
refugee camps active, feed the live
stock, and finally to help in the re-
Mobilization of the flood lands. The
efficiency of the Red Cross in handl-
ing disasters is shown in the instance
of disease control. To date only one
case of contagious disease has been
reported in that area.
This excellent report of the work
of the Red Cross in the flooded areas
would have been impossible had not
all organizations of the United States
cooperated in making it financially
possible for the relief program to be
so conducted. Redwood County was
asked to contribute 5000 for their
quota in the relief program. AS US
ual the County went well over this
mark, the total sum raised for this
work reaching $1374.06. Every Red
Cross Branch in the County as well
as individuals not reached directly
through the Red Cross generously
contributed.
Following is statement of the
amounts raised in each locality in
the County,:

FORMER REDWOOD FALLS CITI.
ZEN DIES OF HEART FAILURE
AT STEWART. BURIAL SER
VICES ARE HELD FRIDAY.

The death of Fred Miller, former
resident of Redwood Falls, came as a
shock to his friends here last week.
Mr.. Miller while a resident here was
employed as clerk at the Ramsey no.
tel. Those from Redwood Falls who
attended the funeral services Friday
were Mrs. John Schmid, Mrs. Alice
Ahrens, Mrs. B. Mckay, Mrs. R.
Westphal and Mrs. Nan Byram. The
following is taken from the columns
of the Stewart Tribune:
The passing of Fred Miller came as
severe shock to our community on
Wednesday evening at about siS
o'clock. He had been to the post Of
flee and was on his way back to the
hotel with Dave Kaplan. He COM
planned of a pain in his chest and
when he reached the hotel he went
in and sat down on small stool that
he had behind the cigar counter.
When Mr.. Kaplan had finished pre-
pairing for supper he went out to see
how Mr.. Miller was getting along
anu lOuuu q AASAu PooAeAoAi oAN
unconscious. Death followed in a
few moments and cause of same was
given as heart trouble.
This sudden death is a very sad
case as it leaves widow and three
children, the youngest being baby
boy of several months. Two of the
children are Mrs. Miller's by pre-
vious marriage while the baby was
born here this winter and was the
one big object of devotion by its fa-
ther.
The Miller family came here over
a year ago and have operated the
Stewart Hotel. The hotel has enjoy.
ed very liberal patronage because
of the very efficient manner in which
it has been conducted by the late Mr..
Miller.
The sincere sympathy of our CON-
munity goes out to Mrs. Miller and
her children in their untimely loss.
