ton extreme, and the Crusade was
an anguished protest of home-loving,
cultured, ballotless women. The Of
ficers of the first union in Redwood
Falls were MRS. Melina Rost, presi-
dent; Mrs. A. E. King, secretary;
Helen Hide, corresponding secretary,
and Elizabeth Chapman, treasurer.
Some of the early members were
Mesdames A. B. Turrell, VIM. Tiffany,
w. B. King, E. C. Waldron, S. N.
Brook, P. D. Hitchcock, H. Clipfell,
Mary Finn, Abbie Vandolah and
Miss Winifred Pentony. Members of
the Redwood Falls union were repre-
sented in that wonderful National
Convention held in Minneapolis in
1886, when Francis Willard presid-
ed over an assembly of women such
as the world had never seen before,
women consecrated and enlisted
against the countries most insidious
foe-the liquor traffic. Our methods
in those early days were to agitate,
educate, and legislate. We held pub
lie meetings, conducted medal con-
tests, drilled boys and girls, petition
ed for good city ordinances and by
wise tactful cooperation or Ly sheer
grit, grace and gLmption secured
many victories.
One of the. victories which stand
out in memory was our successful
campaign of ousting the saloons un-
der local option. We were ably as
sisted by Rev. L. Badger Of the Pres
byterian church, and Rev. E. c. Mich
olson of the Christian church. The
Union borrowed money and issued a
daily paper with Rev. Badger as
editor.
Redwood Falls women who held
state offices are Helen Hitchcock and
Phebe Fuller, State Superintendent of
Law Enforcement, Citizenship and
Legislation 19O0-1918. Mrs. Fuller
was rated member Emeritis by the
State Union in 1918. The Redwood
Falls Union entertained the State
Union in convention in 1902.
At the present time the local or
ganization is emphasizing the work of
scientific temperance by instruction
in the public schools, essay writing
and post card drawing. Our motto is
"Hold Fast and Go. Forward" Vic
tory years 1919-1920. The present Of
ficers are Mrs. Emma Kuck, presi-
dent; Mrs. G. Kuenzi, vice president;
Mrs. Carrie Cole, secretary, and Mrs.
George Hansen, treasurer.

consciences into the keeping Of poll
tical parties, but rather that It IS
their obligation as party members to
help their parties keep pace with en-
lightened public opinion.
The Redwood Falls League was or
ganized in the spring of 1920 by Mrs.
C. v. Everett, who had been elected
county chairman at the first organiza-
ton meeting of the second district at
Mankato. A school of political edu-
cation was held May Hip, 1920 with
Miss Emily Kneubuhl Of the state
league as Instructor.
In 1924 the League held an open
forum meeting in the armory, invit-
ing representatives of the three poll
tical parties to speak, in order that
the voters could get that personal
contact with the men who were seek
ing their vote. Instruction as to the
correct way Of marking the ballot
was also given.
The League has studied and work
ed for the passage Of worthwhile
bills in the State Legislature and also
in the United States Congress. Re
Gently the study program Of the
League has included taxation, the
county fee system, and the unemploy-
ment situation.
The organization has had its ups
and downs, but has always kept func-
tioning. The present officers are:
Mrs. c. V. Everett, president; Mrs.
George Barnes, vice president; Mrs.

The League of Women Voters mas
from it's inception urged its members
to enroll in political parties, for wo-
men as well as men should assume
the responsibility of party activity,
but the League as an organization is
a non-party group. The League holds,
however, that a citizens duty is to
country first, and to party second;
that party is only means to an
end, that the end should be kept con-
stantly in view. The women of the
League do not believe in giving their

The fire originated from a defective
chimney and had made such Roadway

U. S. ON TRIAL.
BAKER ASSERTS
Nation Must Feed, CIothe
Poor, He Declares.
By United Press

81 Z mica Press
CLEVELAND, Nov. 16 - The
United States, placed "on trial" by
the depression, can win acquittal''
by seeing that the poor are prop
erly fed and clothed, according to
Newton D. Baker, former secretary
of war.
Bakers speech was in connection
with the opening here of the Cleve-
land Community Funds drive for
$5,650,000. 1t was broadcast Sun
day by both National and Columbia
radio networks.
This nation has had to meet
many tests" Baker said Some
times those tests have been met
with marching armies and futter-
ing banners; sometimes they have
been met with silent prayer and &C
tivity in the home or in the coun-
Gil chamber.
"In this hour we face another
great national test. Whatever may
be our belief as to the providence
that rules over this world, whether
we continue as a nation strangely
and marvelously favored of God will
depend on whether we are worthy
of it. In this hour we reverently
may believe that Providence is
weighing us, to discover whether we
be worthy of further indulgence"

general reaction, it does not fulIv
explain the severity of the declines.
At the same time, it was difficult
to trace the development to any
particular incident of trade, finance
or politics. Analysing the market
Itself it is the weakness of the rail
shares that was outstanding, espe-
clally New York Central. That was
true today. The publication of New
York CentraPs nine months earn

dollar share on the common. en-
phaslzed the unpleasant situation
OF the railroads.
Obviously, at this rate of earn

maintained. Renewed fright over
dividends was natural sequence
and possibly explains some of the
liquidation. Then, too, the uncer-
tainty over Germany's finances re-

encing some hesitation, particularly
in financial circles.
While momentarily favorable fac

placed upon the disappointing &C
