Perhaps ii Harry Blaine had not
been called to New York, many
things would have been different for
Crystal Hathaway, and, very indi-
rectly, for Tony Tarver.
The next day, Friday, Sept. IA
many people were later concerned
with that and other dates relating
to Crystal Hathaway-the heartsick
girl made a neat package of the
queer, dear presents that Pablo
Mendoza had given her-the little
basket, the pottery jug, the opals
and the unpublished lump of tur-
quoise, keeping only "for remem-
brance," the dried wildfowers- and
took it to the postofflce to register
it, addressing it to Pablo Mendoza,
in care OF the Stephen Grayson
dairy farm.
She had just performed this pain
ful task when jubilant voice hailed
her. Hello Crystal! I was going
to call you up. Great news
"I've had a wire from New York
asking for an extra copy of my
play, and saying they're considering
1t seriously. Holy day! Can you
beat it!-they even remind me, by
wire, that the producer would re-
serve fifty per cent of the movie
rights!"
Crystal winked away the tears
which had marked the returning Of
Pablo's presents and held out both
her hands. I'm stunned, Harry!
But I knew it was a good play. I
don't see how you can stand still!
I'd be-" eu~
stand still" Harry Blaine car
oiled jcyously. That's just what I
can't do. I'm hopping off for New
York tonight.
1--WE just sent off the carbon copy
by air mail and it occurred to young
Harry that that would be a good
way for him to get there-not by air
mail, but by plane. I'm prepared to
shoot my bank roll to charter San
dy Ross plane, if he'll take me,
and Tony says he will"

"Ohl" Crystal was resentful, in
spite of herself. $50 you told Tony
first?"
Harry Blaine was blissfully I'M
conscious that she was hurt. IT
just now called her up to get her
to use her influence with Sandy.
And called you at your Office and
they told me you were out to lunch. !"
"Are you throwing up your job,
Harry?" Crystal asked. It'll miss

swered happily. 1.-THE managing ed
itor said my job would be waiting
for me after I'd got kicked out of
all the play producers offices along
Broadway"
"You won't get kicked out, Harry.
They'll take this play and your next
one, too-your Cherry play. Be sure
to have that one sketched out, at
least, so you can get their ideas for
it before you leave"
Say! I've already written the
first actl" Harry boasted. II did 1t
after I left you last night. It's a
WOW! And I put in two swell sug-
gestions you made, too. Ready?
I've got to dash out to the field
to see Sandy Ross. Tony's driving
me out. Wish you could come
along. But guess you've got to go
back to work"
Crystal avoided his happy eyes as
she murmured, smoothing on her
gloves, Eyes, I've got to go back to
work" In her heart she cried bit
terly, II suppose I'll always be hav-
ing to go back to work"
''Then-if I don't see you again,
it's good-by, isn't it, Harry?" She
held out her hand. II don't think
you'll come back. You belong in
New York"
THAT remains to be seen, but
thanks, Crysl You're brickl"

new INSURANCE
RATES ARE LOWER
Dwelling Owners Are Given
Benefit of Considerable Re-
ductiOn i'm Redwood Falls

New dwelling house insurance
rates in effect in Redwood Falls, fol-
lowing reductions made by the insur-
ance commission are incorporated in
new schedules received here the
Northwestern Insurance Agency an
nounced today.
The new schedule, superseding one
which went in effect June 16, 1923,
established rates which are largely
lower than the old original schedule,
which was in use here for fifteen
years or more and which was super
seeded by the last June schedule.
Reductions in the basic rate of
from two to eight cents under the
June schedule have been accom-
plished on dwelling houses with the
new rates, which went into effect
October 10. Rates on contents have
been raised in some cases and in
others they have been lowered.
Insurance on frame, shingle-roofed
houses for one family will cost $3.50
per thousand for three years under
the new rate as compared with $500
under the old original rates and $3.50
under the intervening schedule. This
is a cut off of twenty-one percent
from the rate which went into effect
last June, and cut of about sixteen
percent from the rate which had al
ways been used before that.

DELHI BANK TAKEN
OVER BY LOCAL men
Deal Made Last Week in Which
Citizens State Bank Buys
Delhi Institution

A deal of considerable Importance
to the people of Redwood county was
completed last Thursday when l.. r.
Ewart, vice president of the Citizens
State Bank of Redwood Falls took
over the Farmers and Merchants
State Bank of Delhi. The officers of
the new organization for the present
are L. R. Ewart, president; F. j.
Starr, of Delhi, vice president and A.
NJ. Schou of Redwood Falls, cashier.
Before the transaction was COM
pleted the stockholders of the Delhi
bank had raised the amount required
by the state department, to put the
bank in good financial condition.
However they also thought that it
might be best to place the institu-
ton in new and stronger hands that
the bank might be of. better service to
the Delhi community.
For quite some time in the past
the paper of the bank was being put
in better shape, with the cash con-
tinuing to diminish. A statement
from several who are well versed in
banking affairs gives the idea that it
is seldom that the loans of small
country bank are to be found in the
good condition as those were in the
Delhi bank.
The manner in which the people of
the Delhi community rallied to the
salvation of their bank is most COM
mendable and wise as well, for a
small town with it's cream stations,
elevators, shipping association, stores
and other enterprises is in a sad
plight without bank" said Mr..
Ewart, in commenting on the tran
saction. The absence of banking ia
cilities in rural communities effects,
seriously the farm values.
The new officers, Mr.. Ewart and
Mr.. Schou, both of the Citizens State
Bank, admitted to be strong finan-
cial institution, Mr.. Starr and Mr..
Ole Olson, the latter two being former

VICTOR ANDERSON
HERE LAST FRIDAY
Former Assistant Attorney Cen
eral of State Tells Why
He Left G.. O. p.

Victor E. Anderson, former assist
ant attorney general of Minnesota,
addressed a good sized audience at
the armory last Friday evening on
the vital issues of the presidential
campaign. His address was given un-
der the auspices of the Minnesota ALL
Party Smith-Robinson organization,
with which Mr.. Anderson is now af-
filiated, having resigned his position
as assistant attorney general to be-
come identified with this organiza-
ton.
While other issues of the campaign
were ably treated, Mr.. Anderson
dwelt at length on the alarming
aspect of the agricultural situation,
on the McNary-Haugen bill as the
measure of relief, and its treatment
by the present administration. Mr..
Anderson has long been identified
with the agricultural interests Of
Minnesota and proved especially well
qualified to discuss the farm issue
which is unquestionably the one most
vital to the people of this commune
ty.
In announcing his support of Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith for president,
Mr.. Anderson stated that although
he has always been a Republican. in
the present campaign he has found
it impossible to support the Republi-
can nominee and that he finds the
principles he had previously adhered
TO embraced in the platform of the
Democratic party.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Anderson has been
SO much in demand throughout the
state as a speaker, the local organ
ization feels fortunate in having Sc
cured him. Rud Stensvad presided
as chairman of the meeting and in
troduced the speaker. A good sized
delegation of ladies was in attend
ance.

LEGION TO PRESENT
SQUARE CROOKS
December 9Th Selected AS Date
for American Legion Play.
Cast Selected

Should a young man, in love with
beautiful girl, whose companion
ship has inspired him to ego
straight" confess his past indescre-
tons to the girl he hopes to make
his wife, or should he let his past re-
main a closed book?
This problem of life which has con-
fronted many young people is an
swered logically in square Crooks"
which will be presented at the Arm
Dry on Thursday night, December
9Th, sponsored by the local American
Legion.
The story deals with the reforma-
ton of two young crooks, who, after
many close shaves, decide that the
shady path be abandoned for the
straight and narrow.
Notwithstanding their efforts to go
straight, the boys lose job after job on
account of a headquarters man who
takes fiendish delight in seeing
them suffer.
They are finally enmeshed in a
diamond necklace robbery and after
some clever detective work ON their
own part, apprehend the real culprit
and receive substantial reward for
their cleverness.

QUOTA OF 1900 IS
SET BY RED CROSS
Chairman George Barnes An
nOunces New Quota for Red
wood Co. 927 Last Year

G. A. Barnes chairman of the
Twelfth Annual Roll Call to be con-
Quoted by the Redwood County Chap
ter during the period from Novem-
Der 1st to November II inclusive has
received a summary of the accom-
plishments of the organization during
the past year prepared by the officers
of the National Organization. Accord
ing to this report Red Cross Chapters
have assisted monthly average Of
56,558 service and ex-service men and
their families. Red Cross Public
Nurses in Chapters made 1899, 1888
home visits and inspected 874,21S
children in schools during the year.
On June 80, 1928, there were 745
nurses in SOC Chapters. 43,445 stu
dents were graduated in First Aid
Glasses conducted by Red Cross
Chapters.
A goal of 1900 members this year
has been set by the local Chapter.
Last year OPT people were enrolled.
"If everyone could know intimately
the work that the Red Cross is carry
ing on" Mr.. Barnes stated, there
would be no trouble in enrolling twice
that number. Into communities de-
vastated by tornadoes, floods, fires,
and other disasters, the Red Cross
carries your message of mercy. In
to our Government hospitals it goes
to brighten the long days of our
wounded soldiers. Day in and day
out it's Public Health nurses are car
ing for the sick, protecting the well,
and teaching the principles of good
health to all. And in countless other
fields it is proving itself worthy of
the recognition it has gained as the
official relief agency of the American
people,"

HOMECOMING GAME
INDEFINITELY OFF
MontevideO Game Postponed Be-
cause of Illness. Other Teams
Trying to be Booked

The Homecoming football game in
which the Redwood Falls-Montevideo
high school teams would feature has
been postponed indefinitely according
to report from the school authori-
ties Tuesday. The vicinity of Monte
video has been troubled with slight
diptheria plague and although it has
not been of a real serious nature, the
local Board of Education did not care
10 take whatever responsibility there
might be connected with the playing
of the game.
Several schools have been called in
hopes of filling this date but at this
time no team has been secured. 1t is
the hope of the school authorities that
a game with good team will be
played on Saturday, November Bird.
The practice game with Milroy,
played on the Redwood field, Friday
October 26 ended with the locals win
ming 27-O. Coach Stockton used
many substitutes in this fray. Inas-
much as Milroy had defeated the Mar
shall first team by score of TO, the
count piled against them by the local
proved that better brand Of football
was being played.
On Wednesday afternoon, Novem-
Der 7th, the local team will play the
Olivia squad at Olivia. The opening
game of the. season with Olivia end
ed in a tie game, and although the
Olivia team has been meeting, with
great success, a victory for the local
squad is looked for.
