Branded illegal, Foolish, Unfair
in Storm of Condemna.
ton Aroused
OF PACT, CHILDREN
Opposite in Purpose to Com
panionate Scheme, Moy-
ers' Denounced Also
By HORTENSE


New York, Jan. 31.-(NEA)-Any
way you figure them, trick marriage
contracts must be wrong. The first
"companionate" unions brought F;
storm of condemnation and nov Its
direct a%ntithesis, marriage a la Moy'
er, is coming in for its share.
Ethel Oylette Den and William
Kenneth Meyer were among the
S1any who opposed the idea of COM
panionatc marriage. They had a
chance to study it at first hand, too,
for they we're friends of Josephine
Haldeman-Julius and her young hus-
band, who had agreed to live togeth-
err in trial relationship until such
time as the birth Of a child might
make the bond permanent. Their
wedding attracted nationwide atten-
ton.
But Meyer and Miss Den, them
selves being in love, decided that a
deliberate intention to avoid parent
hood was fundamentally opposed to
a true meaning of marriage. They
would, they agreed, take the opposite
view-that the object of marriage
is to rear a family, and that the
failure to do so should dissolve the
bond.
Here's Their Contract
So when they appeared for their
ceremony, they signed the following
contract: 81, William Kenneth Moy-
err, of the City of Chicago, Illinois,
and l, Ethel Olyette Amelia Den,
Borough Of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin,
do hereby agree to marry for the
deliberate purpose Of creating j
child. If, at the end of two years we
have failed in our purpose it shall
be the privilege of either one to APP
ply for an absolute divorce without
consulting the other"
Then the storm broke. Legal
opinions from two prominent attorn-
eys agreed that the added clause
could not be binding, at least in the
state of New York.
Morris Ernst, nationally known
liberal lawyer and author, pointed
out that it was illegal for two mar
ried people to agree on terms Of di-
vorce while they are still married.
Certainly, so far as the state is con-
cerned, the object of marriage is
children, and the best possible pro-
lection Of them. But it is my opinion
that the state is interested in the
only after there are chill
dren, and not in the relationship Of
two individuals before. Consequently,
I do not consider that this pact real
ly means anything, especially since it
is doubtful that it could be enforced"
Says It's Unfair to Women
Justice John Ford, of the New
York supreme court, not only ques-
toned the legality Of the clause, but
the whole idea as unfair
to the woman, as all new-fangled
marriages are.
"A man." he said. "can hold up
his head again after any experience,
but what chance is there for q WON
an to marry again If her husband
divorced her under such an agree
ment?"
DR.. Mary Halton, prominent physi.
clan and social worker, disapproved
thoroughly Of the baby clauSe.
Women" she said, fare the ere

Subscription Race is Running Close;
Hard to Determine the Winners
Local Golfers rim
LeSueur Sunday

Turning in score cards replete with
brides and pars, Redwood Falls golf
ers downed the visiting LIE Sueur
team here Sunday 1853. LIE Sueur,
apparently at a disadvantage on the
difficult local course, managed to win
but one foursome to gain the eight
points scored during the day. The
victory marked Redwood Falls third
straight team win this year.
Five pars on the first nine holes
enabled Harley Jaehning to turn in
80 for the first half of the Is holes
and a total of 80 to lead Redwood
Falls in medal scores. R.. w. Serk-
land pared seven holes in scoring
an 81 while Walter Hassenstab made
brides on two of the most difficult
holes on the course-the 7th and 9th
while keeping his score down to 80
to place third among the players. R.
Durrenberger had a 80 to set the
pace for the LIE Sueur squad.
Redwood Falls will go to Sleepy
Eye, next Sunday, to meet the golf
ers of that place in a return match.
Redwood Falls holds a previous VIC
tory over Sleepy Eye, scored early in
the season.

Race Grows Interesting as Can

ADDS EXTRA CASH PRIZE
AS Close as Race Now Stands
Next Six Days Are I'm
pOrtant

With the first or preparatory per-
iod of The Redwood Gazette's Big
Automobile and prize campaign now
a matter of history, the active candi-
dates in the race are now preparing
for the final big drive down the
stretch and from present indications
it will be one of the most exciting
and interesting campaigns ever con-
Quoted in this section of the state.
A Special Extra Prize of $4,000
has been added. This Special Cash
Award will be given to the candidate
securing the greatest number of
points from new subscription pay
ments during the remainder of the
campaign-the second, third and
fourth periods. You can win two big
prizes now, a handsome motor car
and Special Cash Prize of $4,000
in Gold. This extra added prize will
be awarded at the close of the cam
paign along with the other big prizes.
1t is a strange coincidence, too, and
something unusual in affairs of this
kind, but each of the leading candi-
dates benefited so equally during the
period just closed that there is only
small margin separating the hust-
lers, who are fighting for supremacy
and ownership of one of the beautiful
prize cars.

4-H Club Members to
Compete atState Fair

Twelve hundred boys and girls
from every county in the state will
compete in the All club finals at the
Minnesota State Fair and Northwest
Livestock Show, August 80 to Sep
TENDER 6, announces T. A. Erickson,
state club leader.
The junior farmers will come to
the fair to exhibit dairy calves, pigs,
colts, sheep and poultry, and to de-
monstrate how they have learned to
bake bread and cake, can fruits,
vegetables and meats, and make
their own clothing. They are the
winners of preliminary contests in
which more than 10000 club members
competed.
As an illustration Of the value Of
club work, and the wonderful results
it has accomplished, Mr.. Erickson
points to the case of Hilmar Carlson
of Detroit Lakes. Hilmar, now an
exhibitor in the open cattle classes
at the fair, Joined corn club Is
years ago. In less than three years,
for his excellent work, he was award
ed prize of a purebred Jersey bull
calf.
This was the first purebred animal
Of any kind on the Carlson farm.
Hilmer next Joined All dairy
calf club and bought his first pure
bred Jersey heifer. Later he added
two more. Then his father became
interested, and while Hilmer was de-
veloping a purebred herd of 80 ani-
mails, his father successfully graded
up his scrub cows.
Father and son work together.
Each is an exhibitor at the state fair.
The Carlson farm is now a show
place with its fine cattle, modern
dairy barn, new silo and up-to-date
farm and home equipment.

followed in his footsteps ~ Al meme

City Sunday

Excessive speed on the public high
way in the city and Ramsey State
park proved disastrous for Delmer
Wose, 22-year old youth, Sunday, af-
ter he had violated traffic laws in the
course of his afternoons drive. The
driver who lives on a farm near the
city was arrested and placed in Jail.
He was arraigned before Judge C.
". Everett Monday morning when
he was fined $12 and costs.
The youth and his speeding car
first made an appearance in the park
through which he proceeded at a
break-neck pace. Leaving the park
he burned up few miles of the pub
lie highway. City police gave chase
and after an hour and half of driv-
ing finally made the arrest.

Camp Staff Members to Give
Public Demonstration on
Scouting at Ramsey
LOCAL SCOUTS ACTIVE
Public Invited to Visit the Camp
Program to Close at
1880 p. M.

Boy Scouts and executives repre-
senting the Minnesota Valley Area
council will arrive in Redwood Falls
Friday morning at 900 a. m. for a
24-hour stay during which the group
will make the Gypsy Camp demon
strations that are to be open to the
public. The Scouts, represented by
the Camp staff, are making a good
will tour that begins today at st. Pet
er and continues through Monday,
ending at Mankato. Other Minneso-
ia towns to be visited include New
Ulm, Sleepy Eye, Fairfax, Spring
field Window, st. James, Madelia,
and Lake Crystal.
Upon their arrival the Scouts will
pitch their camp at Ramsey State
park and will conduct public demon
strations during the day. Among the
phases Of scouting to be shown to
Redwood Falls are how to camp, how
to set up tents, how to cook, how to
shoot bow and arrow, how to make
bows and arrows, life saving, SWIM
ming, first aid, handicraft, knot ty-
ing, frebuilding, fire by friction, and
other forms of Scoutcraft which are
aimed to be interesting to adults as
well as to boys.
While demonstrations will be con-
Quoted throughout the day the swim
ming and evening demonstrations are
aimed to be most impressive. Au-
thorized Red Cross tests and demon
strations will be given at the munich
pal beach beginning at $3.50 p. m.
Beginners, advanced swimmers, those
ready to take life saving examina-
tions and others will be given in
structions at that time. The after
noon program will formally close at
the park at about 1880 p. m. with re-
treat and the accompanying flag low
ering ceremony.
The evening program will be at the
park with Redwood Falls Scouts
taking an active part. During the
rally, which is to be held around a
giant camp fire, Scout songs will be
sung and Scouting stunts furnished
as well as other forms of entertain
ment. This group, which will consist
Of seven or eight Eagle Scouts and
advisors, will not leave here until
Saturday morning at 900 a. m.
The tour is being conducted with
no charge to the public and with the
purpose of interesting the public and
boys in particular in Scouting. Red
wood Falls now has nearly fifty Boy

soon enter active participation in the
Minnesota Valley Area council. About
twenty of the Scouts have reached
advanced stages in Scouting.

Wins Something" campaign have
been the most sensational and spect-
acular vet recorded. Thousands OF
votes were cast. First one candidate
would hold sway for supremacy, then
another. Battles are being fought,
won and lost and the race wages fast
and furious.
Yet so closely arrayed and with
honors so evenly divided up to the
present that it seems that it depends
entirely upon the individual efforts
of each candidate between now and
the close of this period-next Tues
day night, July 20 at 9 o'clock-as
to who the ultimate winners will be.
No one has a walk away for the
big prizes; neither is anyone hope
lessly beaten. Just good bunch OF
subscriptions turned into the account
of anyone of the various contenders
would change the entire complexion
of affairs and furnish new leader
in the race. In fact, few long term
subscriptions now from unexpected
sources might be the very ones need
ed to stem the tide of defeat and turn
it into a sweeping victory.
Race Reaches Acute Stage
With but six more days to turn in
subscriptions and secure the greatest
number of votes, and with but little
over three weeks to go before the
race finally comes to close, inter-
est in the competition and enthusiasm
in the progress of the candidates is
growing by leaps and bounds. Each
candidate realizes that the grand
prizes-which mean about 1858, $678,
1904, 500 IN GOLD; 500; and 500
respectively-is practically within
their grasp, either to be acclaimed
for their own or forfeited to more
= aggressive opponents during the next
sthree weeks, depending to great ex-
tent upon their final supreme efforts
put forth now, while the Second Per-
iod of big votes are allowed. If a
candidate halts now for a single
moment; if they weaken for a day or
if they overlook one opportunity to
better their chances to win they are
taking the desperate chance of losing
a big prize, already partially won,
and which really belongs to them. A
candidate who fails to do his or her
