High School Gridders Add Marshall
to List of Wins; Glencoe Saturday
StOckton's Men Defeat Marshall
Team 26 to 0 for Fourth
Victory in Row
TEAM SHOWS MUCH POWER
Glencoe Comes to Redwood Sat-
urday After Losing Game
in 81 Starts

Redwood Falls high school football
team trimmed Marshall here, Satur-
day. 26-O in a game that brought out
unusual power in both the backfield
and line of Coach Stockton's team.
After being held to one touchdown
during the first two quarters Redwood
came back to gather 20 points and
allow Stockton to run in number OF
his second-string men during the clos
ing minutes of play.
Marshall won the toss and elected
to defend the west goal with strong
wind at its back. After the initial
kick had gone out of bounds, Redwood
Falls kicked to Marshall's 43 yard
line with no return. Marshall was
held for downs and kicked to Tommy
Finn on his 20 yard line and he re-
turned the ball to the &C yard line. A
first down was followed by Jaehning's
kick to Marshall's IL yard line and
Marshall kicked right back to Cuff
who, with some pretty interference
from Finn, returned IL yards. Red
wood was penalized five yards for off
side and then started march with
Cuff carrying the brunt of the attack
which ended with touchdown. Cor
belts attempt to kick was wide of the
mark.
The rest of the half found the play
almost entirely in Marshalls territory
with the exception of Marshall spurt
which carried the ball to Redwood's
80 yard mark. Finn returned punts
in the second quarter for 40 and %
yards but was unable to break away
for touchdown although one run on
which he crossed the goal line was
called back because of clipping.
Cuff received the kickoff at the be-
ginning of the third period and placed

SALVATION ARMY in
HOME FUND APPEAL

wood Allotment $4,000

The annual Salvation Army home
service appeal in which funds are
asked to carry on the next twelve
months the relief, charity, welfare
and uplift work among the needy and
unfortunate in this region is now be-
ing organized. This will be stimuli
taneous appeal in which Redwood,
Renville and Cottonwood counties
will participate with headquarters in
Redwood Falls court house in charge
of Evangelist John M. Linden.
The quotas assigned for each coun-
ty to raise are as follows: Redwood,
$2,OOO.CO; Renville, $4,000 and Cot
tonwood, $1,000. These have been ap-
portioned among all points in these
counties.
Banks and treasurers have been ap-
pointed at each point to receive the
funds and these in turn will check in
with the general treasurer of the ap-
peal Mr.. A. F. Hassenstab at the Red
wood Falls State Bank when their ap-
peals are completed.
Since the Salvation Army does not
ask funds to enrich itself but that it
may help "Others" in need, no doubt,
many will gladly contribute when the
opportunity is given by the solicitors

Doctor Beats Them at Their Own
Game; Trades Pills for Cards

since it had been necessary for him
to leave his office to post this letter,
his bill now amounted to three dollars,
two dollars for the call and one dollar
still due him for his bills. Would
the company kindly remit +?
A few days later he received a very
short letter from the company to the
effect that his name had been stricken
from its mailing list.
Local residents who have been
bothered by receiving unordered boxes
of Christmas cards through the mails
may do well to take tip from the
doctor. According to the office of the
Postmaster General it is neither nee
essary to return unordered cards nol
to pay for them unless used.
This paper is quick to advocate the
support of the local merchants in
buying Christmas Cards. They are
worthy of any support that may be
given.

A doctor in a certain town recently
received box of Christmas cards
through the mail which he hadn't
ordered. The next day he received a
bill requesting one dollar in payment
for the cards.
Being wise to the unordered mer-
chandise scheme the doctor made up
a box # pills and sent them to the
company which had sent him the
Christmas cards. He also sent the
company letter stating that the pills
were worth two dollars and would the
company kindly send him one dollar
the balance due him after subtracting
the dollar he owed the company for
the Christmas cards.
He soon received a second letter
from the company again requesting
him to send a dollar in payment for
the cards.
This time he replied that he charg-
ed two dollars for making call and

the ball in midfield before being
downed. Redwood kicked to Marshall
and on the first play Cuff came up
fast to intercept pass and carry it
Is yards to Marshall's 20 yard line.
Two line plunges and penalty put
Redwood in a position to score from
where Cuff plunged across. Corbett
kicked for the extra point giving Red
wood 1870 lead.
Redwood received and started an
offense that ended on the Is yard line
where the ball was lost on downs. A
Marshall tumble was recovered soon
after and Redwood continued the
march which ended when Corbett
plunged over the 3 yard line. The
try for point was unsuccessful.
Marshall received the kickoff and
returned to the 40 yard line and then
gained 20 yards on two successive
end runs only to be stopped on Red
woods 35 yard line after a short pass
and line buck when a tumble gave
Redwood the ball. Redwood made a
first down and then kicked to Mar
shall and the ball was downed on her
% yard line. A long pass gained 80
yards for Marshall and an end run
made 20 more. Redwood held here
and Ewart kicked 40 yards and the
ball rolled over the goal line.
A short punt put Marshall in trou-
BILE but the line held and Redwood lost
the ball on downs after carrying the
ball to the yard mark. On the next
kick Cuff came up fast to gather a
wide kick and sprinted over the line
for the final counter. Finn plunged
over guard for the point.
With number of Redwood young
sters in the game Marshall opened
with belated pass attack but this
was stopped on Redwood's 25 yard
mark when Bravender finally inter-
cepted pass.
Cuff and Finn with Corbett giving
able assistance stood out for Redwood
in the backfield. Bravinder's excellent
defensive work behind the line stood
out while Campbell and Arnett stood
out at tackle. Scott and Ewart were
again mixed up in every play as was
Laidlaw at end. Albright and Dennis
toun showed promise at guard.

SUCCESS COMES TO
FORMER LOCAL BOY
Mervin Mason Makes Good With
Construction Company; Re-
turns From Job in East

A letter received by Mr.. and Mrs.
S. o. Mason from their son, Mervin,
a former Redwood Falls high school
boy and one of the greatest athletes
the school ever produced, gives in
part an idea of the success enjoyed
by Aim since leaving Redwood Falls.
Young Mr.. Mason, who has been in
the employ of the Donovan Construc-
ton Co., of st. Paul, electrical engin-
eers, has been made president
the company. For the past several
months he has been in Corinth, New
York supervising the installation of
lighting system in that city.
The letter follows in part:
Guess it has been some time since
you have had a letter from me, so |
had better let you know that 1 am
still in existence and think of you
often even though l haven't written
very often. l have sort of left it to
Mabel to pass the news along as !
am generally too tired or have lots to
do to write more than one letter.
The street lighting system is COM
pleted and will be put in service
Tuesday night at 700 p. M, after
which the city officials and those who
designed and installed it will be feted
at a banquet. We turned them on
yesterday afternoon for the test and
they lighted up like they had always
been in service, which made me feel
quite happy and somewhat proud, both
becauseit showed good workmanship
in not giving trouble and because it
meant that l would soon be back in
good old Minnesota again. We expect
to cut over the underground electric
distribution system the latter part of
next week and be ready to leave
here by Wednesday, the 9th.
l expect to stop in Chicago, Iowa
City, Cedar Falls and St. Charles on
my return so it will take me longer
than on my trip out here. I'm sorry
now that l didn't stop to see Niagara
Falls on my way down for / think
shall leave directly from here and
not return to Watertown first.
NV but this is beautiful country
In the Fall. The mountains are just
blaze of colors. We have had two
light frosts which have turned the
leaves of the trees to a gay smock
for the mountains. Everywhere you
go the valleys and hills are a rare
spectacle of color schemes in red
yellow and green. The calm Hudson
seems a great mirror in which nature
has been primping herself for the
Fall for one can see the reflection of
the blue skies and the many colored
mountains as easily in it as by looking
at them directly. l could drive for
hours and enjoy this beauty. Only
a short distance from the Hudson is
the Sacandaga river which comes
tumbhng down the mountains in the
midst of this splendor, looking like
a great diamond necklace sparkling
in the sun. Yet, with all these things
there is something lacking which
Minnesota has.
l expect to be back in Minnesota
around the 18th or so.
l hope this finds you both in ex-
ceptional health and happiness"

WARNING

Since the World War there
have come into existence some
fifteen different kinds of
"ARMIES" all of which wear
caps and bOnnets and carry
tambOurines. These are out
soliciting funds all the time for
their use and in their money
canvass everywhere they leave
tfe impression that they are
SalvatiOnists. Their uniforms,
similar to ours make for them
an open door and they use it
to their advantage and get
money they could. not get did
they not wear this well-knOwn
garb.
They ask money for the
ARMY" but close questioning
will reveal the fact that it is
their particular army. Their
trick for money getting when
soliciting is to leave the impress
sion that they are a branch of
the Salvation Army, that they
do a similar work, that in a
way they are affiliated but they
are neither part nor parcel of
the Salvation Army and have
no connection whatever.
These uniformed imitatOrs
everywhere are causing a great
deal of trouble and to correct
the impression which prevails,
we simply make the statement
to the public that all folks who
wear caps and bonnets and car
ry tamb0urines in soliciting are
not always Salvationists.

HAM, Commander Northern
