Yuletide Atmosphere

The Duncan Electric shop complet-
ed the wiring and hanging of ever
green festooning Tuesday night.
Through the initiative of the Mer-
chants association with the CONNER
cial club cooperating, Redwood Falls
business area was decorated for the
holiday season.
To correct an error the total cost
of this years decorations comes to ap-
proximately 25 per cent less than last
years and not "75 per cent less" as
was inadvertently stated in the story
of last week. In other words it is
seventy-five per cent of what it cost
last year.
Centerpieces were modelled by the
Duncan Electric shop to give the ris-
ing sun effect, similar to the center
piece used on Seventh street, Min
neapolis, last year.
With Mill and Second streets add
ed there are % multi-colored electric
light strings and centerpieces. There
are $500 feet of evergreen festooning,
draped parallel to the streets and
across from each lamp post. Over
800 electric bulbs light the streets to
give Redwood Falls the yuletide at

1000 Boys and Girls
/ See Santa Claus
Glides Into Town With Four
Reindeer Pulling Sleigh
Monday Morning

Seeing is believing, some 1000 or
more youngsters became aware Mon
day when Santa Claus glided into
Redwood Falls with his red sleigh
drawn by four reindeer, and accom-
panied by two Eskimo helpers.
Jolly old Santa, that red faced
white whiskered, lovable old gentle
man of whom children hear so much
about but rarely have had an opport-
unity to see in person, had a busy
day giving away candy kisses by the
handful to bright eyed little boys and
girls.
Confdentially, Santa took each one
aside and asked each his Christmas
wish. The boys and girls were not
afraid of him for he won their whole
hearted confidence and admiration
from the start.
Santa let the boys and girls pet his
reindeer. When Santa Claus sent
that radiogram from Toyland and an
nouncing his intention of visiting
Redwood Falls he was not certain
just which reindeer he would use on
his trip, but when he showed up Mon
day morning Dasher was leading
with Dancer, Prancer and Bitten
following.
Dasher had horns on only the left
side of the head and Prancer had
horns on the right side, the other
horns had been bumped off, Santa in
formed. He said that the reindeer
got new growth of horns every
year in June. At this time of the
year they were brittle and would
break off.
Santa visited the school and took
a reindeer into the rooms to show
what such an animal looked like. The
boys and girls had never seen one
|. before and were interested to note
their shapely bodies with grayish-
brown fur.
After driving around the city al
day, visiting the children in school
and stopping at the various business
houses, Santa Claus called it day al
7 p. M, and scurried over the snow
to Marshall, Mimi, his next stop
One hundred and fifty-five letters
were handed to Santa Claus during
his stop here.

I. H. Croker Dies
Suddenly at Morgan
Funeral Services in Charge of
|. o. o. F. lodge, Many
From Here Attend

When the word was passed around
Morgan Thanksgiving morning that
T. H. Croker had passed away dur
ing the night the news seemed scarce
" creditable. In company with his
wife and daughter, Mrs. Clifford
Breed and husband of Crookston they
had returned from an extended au-
tomobile trip into Illinois only the
evening before.
His death came as great shock to
the family, especially his son Forest,
who was unable to reach his bedside
before the end came. TIE deceased
was a man of rugged constitution
and although he retired from active
farm life, he was often found help
ing his son, Forest, during the sea-
sons rush at the harvest season and
other times. He was a man of genial
disposition and left word of cheer
full greeting to all whom he met. He
will be sadly missed among the
townspeople.
Trueman Croker was born in New
ton township near Fenton, Ill. SO
years ago next February. He was
united in marriage to Miss Puma
Nickel over 40 years ago. To this
union four children wer born, three
girls and one son. About 16 years
ago they moved to Morgan, purchas-
ing what was known at the Fixsen
farm near this city. For time the
two families resided at the farm.
Seven years ago Mr.. Croker pur-
chased residence in town and moved
his family into it and have continued
to live there since. He was an adj
herent of the Presbyterian church,
a member of the l. o. o. F. and
Woodman and Royal Neighbor lodges.
The funeral services were in charge
of the l. o. o. F. lodge, many men,
bers from the Redwood Falls lodge
attending the services at the home
and at the Presbyterian church Fri
day morning. DR.. John Keith, pastor
of the church, gave splendid serm-
on and the church choir had charge
of the music. The remains were TAX
en- to Sanborn where it was shipped
back to the home town at Fenton, Ill.,,
where last rites took place Sunday.
The members of the immediate fami-
ly and brother, C.. C. Croker, of
Redwood Falls drove to Fenton for
the interment.

That Mrs. Martin L. Freise of
Redwood Falls has become famed
through her culinary efforts needs no
more proof than the article which
the Chicago Tribune carried in it's
columns of Thursday, November 27,
1880. The article follows:
Forty officials of the American
Farm Bureau federation and their
wives attended the prize model
Thanksgiving dinner of America,
served in the house on the roof of
Hotel Sherman.
The menu, suggested by Mrs. M. L..
Freise living near Redwood Falls,
Mimi, won first prize in contest
recently conducted by the federation's
publications, Bureau Farmer. 1t was
composed with exception of olives, of
articles of food that can be grown by
all farmers.
The menu consisted of fruit cock
tail, celery, sailed nuts, olives, roast
turkey and parsley dressing and glib
let gravy, cranberry ice, glazed
sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, peas
and carrots, Waldorf salad with
dressing, mince and pumpkin pies
and coffee. One farmer declared the
only improvement he could suggest
after enjoying the bounteous repast,
was that from the farmers stand
point-milk should be served.
The national judges in the contest
were also present, including Mrs.
Clara Ingram Judson, Evanston, ILL.,;
Mrs. Grace Wall Gray, Glen Ellyn,
ILL.,; Albert Stawle and Edward Ka-
vawsy of the Hotel Sherman cuisine.
