ARTHUR F. NELSON
TO SPEAK MAY 80
Republican Candidate for Unit
ed States Senator to Deliver
Memorial Day Address.

Arthur E. Nelson, Republican can
didate for the United States Senate,
is now in the thick of one of the most
aggressive campaigns ever staged in
Minnesota, and he is on a tour that
will carry him all over the state.
Mr.. Nelson will deliver the Mem
orial Day address at the Armory on
Wednesday afternoon at 2:3O p. m.
In a recent issue of the Gazette it
was announced that Fred C. Nelson,
Commander of the 4th district, Am
erican Legion, would deliver the Men,
orial Day address. In the past few
days it was learned that the services
of Arthur Nelson could be secured.
Because Mr.. Nelson is making many
campaign speeches every day his talk
will be brief. He is capable talker
and will have an important Memorial
Day message for the people of Red
wood Falls.
Reports received here from other
parts of the state that he has visited
say he is making great speeches at
every stop and his ability as an ora
tor is attracting large crowds.
His friends are pointing out his
qualifications for the United States
Senate in no uncertain terms, lay
ing especial stress on the fact that
his life has been almost evenly divid-
ed between residence in the country
and in the city. For this reason they
believe that no other man in the state
has as deep an understanding of the
needs of the farmer as we'll as the
business man.
He was born on farm near Browns
Valley, Minn., where he lived until
his graduation from high school. He
then attended Manchester College, ST..
Paul. After finishing law school his
spectacular rise to fame is one of the
romatic stories of Minnesota politics.
He was twice drafted as mayor of ST..
Paul but refused to accept a third
term so that he might devote his at
tention to his law practice.

POPPY DAY HERE
NEXT SATURDAY
Local Legion Auxiliary Will Sell
Flowers On Streets ALI
During Day.

After the World War, a multitude
of crimson flowers grew.up to bloom
on the once bloody battlefields of
France, seemingly as a memorial to
the dead and wounded who bled on
those fields. For this reason the red
poppy Of the French battlefields has
become the flower of remembrance
to the soldiers who died or were dis
abled during the war. Saturday,
May 26th, has been designated as
Poppy Day. The local American Le-
gion Auxiliary is organizing drive
for the sale of poppies in Redwood
Falls on that day, as are other cities
and villages all over the United
States. The proceeds of the sale of
the poppies will be used to assist vet
erans of the World War. Citizens
of this community have always res
ponded literally and their cooperation
is sought again this year.
Mrs. Walter King has been named
chairman of the local drive and she is
at present time, working on her plans
for the sale of the red poppies with
the black center, which is recognized
as the official Memorial Poppy for
the state of Minnesota. Women of
the Auxiliary will be on the streets
all day selling the red flowers.
The poppy worn on this day
is an emblem of sacrifice. For many
the war is not over, but is still being
fought in hospital beds. The war is
not over for many of the wives and
children of the men who gave up
their comforts, careers, and hap
piness to answer the Country's
call. Many disabled men are en-
ployed in the Poppy Shops in Min
neapolis, and there they earn sum
of So per day making these red pop
pies which are shipped all over the
country. They receive one cent for
each poppy they make. This they
manage to exc out a, living doing a
work which would not be provided
them if it were not for the help of
the people in this great country who
remember their sacrifice and on this
great Poppy Day, buy a red poppy to
wear in memory. Remember, Satur-
day, May 26th is Poppy Day in Red
wood. Falls and everywhere else in
the United States. The help that may
be given will be greatly appreciated.

SUCCESSFUL PLAY
: GIVEN BY SENIORS
''The Mummy and the Mumps, -
Presented Friday Night,
Makes Decided Hit.

"The Mummy and the Mumps," the
Senior Class play that was success
fully staged at the Lincoln School
auditorium last Friday night may be
classed as one of the best home tai
ent plays presented in Redwood Falls
in some time. Miss Leila Atcherson,
director of the play, who spent much
time in it's production and the selec-
tion of characters, deserves much
credit for the success of the show.
The play was wholesome entertain
ment and deals with the misadven-
lures which happen in an exclusive
girls school.
The principal of an exclusive girls
school is expecting an important ad-
dition to her faculty, Sir Hector Fish,
distinguished young scientist, who
is bringing with him the recently dis
covered mummy of King Tut's queen.
Sir Hector arrives in a most uncon-
ventional fashion-inside the mummy
case, in which he has had himself
expressed, so as to escape being quar-
antined in New York for well de-
veloped case of mumps. His identity
is discovered and kept secret by the
cleverest girl pupil in the school,
partly to save him from arrest for
breaking quarantine and partly be-
cause there is another Sir Hector in
the field, impersonating him. The
complications multiply, and one fare
ical situation crowds upon another,
each more uproariously funny than it's
predecessor.
The hilarity is also promoted by the
inimitable all-work, who has
three mems work to do but doesn't do
it; by Brisky, the giddy youth who
impersonates Sir Hector, and by his
equally giddy pal, Bill; by the prize
dumbdora of the school: by a ter
ribly nosey girl reporter; and by a
hick sheriff.
Silas Cliff as Sir Hector Fish, did
an exceptional piece of work in
which, with his severe case of mumps
caused many laughs. Francis Briscoe
played by Leland Posi- was well acted
as were the parts of the three girl
students, Maude Mullen, Anna Hamp-
ton and Dulcie Dumble played by
Marian Jaehning, Irene Keefe and
Mary Finn, were up to the minute in
portraying the modern young ladies.
Agatha Laidlaw, the principal of the
school, characterized by Marjorie
Thomson, should be given especial

LIBRARY'SNEWBOOK
TAKEN FAVORABLY
Frank Lord, Author and Friend
of Mrs. Lillian Hall, Has
Book in Library.

A new book has been placed on the
shelves of the Redwood Falls Public
Library which has received much ia
vorable comment wherever it has been
read. Light Fingers" the title of
the book, was written by Frank Lord,
native of Minnesota. His father,
H. C. Lord, was superintendent of
schools at ST. Peter for a number Of
years and was first president of
the Moorhead Teachers College.
Mrs. Lillian Hall of Redwood Falls
taught in the ST. Peter schools under
the authors father and is close
acquaintance of the author.
The Charleston Oll.) Daily Courier
has this to say of the book and auth
or:
Frank Lords book, Light Fin
gers" has been so popular in this
country that it has been taken over
and published in England by John
Lane, Publishers. The Literary Sup
plement of the London Times Of
March 1st has the following criticism
of this book.
'"For those who can read American
without dictionary this is probably
a first rate story. Even to more ig-
norant Britons it is attractive. "Fin-
gers Anne" was a New York shop
thief. Sam was her son, born in the
penitentiary on Blackwelps Island.
Sam tells the story. When Anne was
caught second time, nine years old
Sam was adopted, first by wealthy
Mrs. Garrison; but the newspapers
protested against this sympathy with
criminals" so he was transferred to
Mr.. and Mrs. Burrow and their prair-
lie farm. 1t is an instance of one diff
ference between British and Ameri-
can novels that Glyndon, Clay county,
Minnesota, is real place on the map;
a British novelist would certainly dis
guise it. The last half of the book
consists of Sans efforts to raise ST.
600 to buy influence for the release
of his mother from Auburn. These
efforts led him to Sing Sing prison
for robbery with violence for his not
very admirable father. So Anne's re-
lease was long delayed. The author
has been a Deputy Police Commis-
sioner in New York, and uses his first
hand knowledge of jails and criminals
skillfully. Anne, lively, dainty, and
affectionate, despite the kink which

day into the drowning yesterday after
noon of 14-year RoSalie Steadman
of 1742 Massachusetts, avenue south

formed to assertions made to the police
by witnesses. that Duvall induced the
girl to go swimming in the Eastern
Branch, then deserted her when she
went down in deep water.
He also was accused of refusing to
assist two boys who made futile effort
to rescue the girl. She was drowned
