MISSIONARY PAGEANT

On Friday evening at the Metho-
dist church missionary pageant, en-
titled Striking Americas Hour"
was presented by Rev. George Root
of Edgerton, MINI. Mr.. and Mrs.
Root had made the small figures used
to represent the characters in the
pageant. This work had been SO well
done that the figures were very life
like as they were presented on the
stage. The aim of the pageant was to
show the opportunity America has
had to influence the life of foreign
countries and of the people who come
to live here from foreign lands. Dur
ing the PRESENTATION of the figures
on the stage, Mr.. Root gave the sub
ject matter of the pageant in a very
impressive and earnest way. Before
the pageant was given there was a
program of home talent music. No
admission was charged for this even
ing of entertainment and instruction,
but an offering was taken for the
benefit of the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society. The society feels
greatly indebted to Mr.. and Mrs. Foot
for giving this pageant, and to the
Redwood Falls people who took part
on the program.

Local sportsmen do not favor a
closed season this year on prairie
chicgens. as has been suggested to
J. G. Gould. Game and Fish Commits
sioner. They state that this will
only give the game hogs" an OPP
portunity to have better shooting, as
those. who desire to be law abiding
will not engage in the sport of hunt
ing prairie chickens. The season is
but fifteen days duration and as the
legal bag per day is small, there is
no danger of depicting the species.
Local sportsmen favor an open season
for prairie chickens this season.

A. G. Ruggles, state entomologist,
warns against the purchase of nurs-
ery stock that has not been inspected
and certified by duly qualified state
officials. Information has been OBJ
tanned that many uncertified plants
were sold in recent months, particu-
larlv small fruit plants such as straw
berries and raspberries. According
to Mr.. Ruggles many of these unin-
spected plants are diseased and unfit
to plant. Each year several planting
are refused state certificate on ac-
count of disease. Purchasers are
urged to avoid the buying of plants
that have not been inspected owing to
the risk of spreading insect pests and
plant diseases. The. selling of unin-
spected plants is illegal.

Five cans of pike fry. each said

Five cans of pike fry, each said to
contain 10000 fish, were sent to
Sleepy Eye from the state fish hatch
erv at st. Paul to be planted in Sleepy
Eve lake and the Cottonwood river.
The FRY was emptied into the lake
and river under the direction of Game
Warden Johnson of Redwood Falls.
The Cottonwood river was stocked
with fry two years ago, but either
on account of the dry weather and the
lack of water in the stream or from
other reasons the fish all died Sleepy
Eye sportsmen hope for better re-
suits this time.

was strangled, came with the gusting
wind. 1t came again. From the edge
of the lawn now, Locke leaped for
ward along the path. Black, twisting
shapes loomed up just ahead Of him.
He flung himself upon them.
A low, startled, vicious snarl an
swered his attack. After that there
was no sound while perhaps a minute
passed. save the rustic of leaves and
foliage, the snip of broken twigs under
swiftly moving, straining feet. Locke
was fighting now with merciless, ex-
ultant ferocity. 1t was the man in the
mask he was at gripts with--it was
not the dressing gown alone, the feel
of it, that distinguished one from the
other; he had even in that first plung-
ing rush in the darkness felt his hand
brush against the mask on the mans
cheek
1t was all shadow, all blackness. To
this side and that, close locked to-
gether. he and his antagonist now
swayed madly. The mans one evil
dent desire was to break away from
his. Locke's. encircling arms; his,
Locke's purpose not only to prevent
escape, but to unmask the other-the
moon might come out again at any
instant-filter through the branches
just enough light to see the others
face if the mask were off.
A peal of laughter rang out. It
was the old madman. Locke, as he
fought, more sensed than saw the old
mans form close to the ground, as
