Caue Sunday Recital

Harvey Moen and Eilef Saetveit,
representing the Augustana College,
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, played a
marimba concert at the Methodist

audience by its colorful harmony and
tone.
The musicians were on an extend.
ed tour of three months. This was
their third year together. One was
graduated from the college this June
and the other will be a senior next
year. Both specialize in public schoo

City Band Buys
s. Blue Uniforms
Choose Natty Attire of Coat and
Cap With White Belt, Plus
Nifty Shoulder Strap

When next the band comes marching
by, its members will be attired in uni
forms. The band members are elat-
ed over the recent deal, for the band
has been boarding pennies and dol
lars for the last several years for this
purpose.
While the band still lacks 500 re-
quired to complete the purchase, ar
rangements will be made to enable
them to receive the uniforms now.
There are outstanding pledges by
various business firms, the amount
promised yet to be collected.
The new outfit consists of a blue
serge, modern military cut coat, with
white waist belt and shoulder strap
and cap. With white duck trousers,
this uniform makes striking ap-
pearance.
Representing the C. E. Ward COM
pany, New London, Ohio, D. N.
Brown, Minneapolis, measured the
band members for the coats and caps
at the Monday night rehearsal. Thir-
ty-five uniforms were purchased at
this time. The cost was SIS per out
fit, requiring more than $500 to COM
plete the purchase.
Nate FL. Bovee, business manager
and chairman of the executive board
of the Scenic City band, appointed di-
rector S. w. Limburg, Jim Murdoch
and F. Pfeiffer to make the transac-
ton. With rush order it is expect
ed that the uniforms will arrive in
time for the July concerts.
Because Of limited funds it was de-
cided to buy only the coats and caps
and get the trousers later. A drive
for funds may be made this summer.

PAY NO INTEREST
HARD TIMES Cure
TOWNLEY ADVISES
Urges People to Elect Candi-
dates Pledged to Five Year
Interest Moratorium
CROWD VEXES HIM
Small Turnout Stirs Orator to
Satirical Utterances i'm
Afternoon Meeting

Interest payments waived by law
for five year period is the only way
out of the present economic difficulty,
A. C. Townley, organizer of the Nom
partisan League and well known poll
tical agitator, told small but inter-
ested audience in an afternoon OUT
door meeting here, Monday.
Mr.. Townley's appearance here fol-
lowed similar meetings throughout
this section of the state, having talk
ed at four times that day with three
more scheduled for the evening, dis
cussing his plan for five year inter-
est moratorium"
Disappointed by the smallest turn
out so far this season, Mr.. Townley
waxed satirical in the beginning of
his talk, saying that he assumed that
people in this community had not ex-
perienced "hard times" or that be-
cause Of his once having been in Jail
for three months for urging conscrip-
ton of wealth, people were afraid Of
him.
Revive League Interest
A. E. Bowen, formerly national lect-
urer for the Nonpartisan League, &C.
companied Mr.. Townley. The pur-
pose of the meetings, he explained
was to revive interest in the League
for the sake Of progressivism. They
did not seek memberships, but asked
for contributions to enable them to
carry on the work by radio talks and
printed matter.
lizard Times-Their Cause and
Cure" was the topic and substance
of Townley's talk. Monopolistic mill
ing interests keep five-eighths and
let the farmer have the balance under
the present system, he explained, and
in contrast told of the old times when
the farmer took his wheat to the
grist mill he received seven-eighths.
With this as his basic illustration,
he pointed to the dangers of the cen-
tralization of wealth, with the reward
going to the farmer and city worker
dictated by the rich few. Forty
thousand millionaires make up one
thirtieth per cent of one per cent Of
120 million people, the population of
United States, the speaker said.
About 100 billion dollars of the ma
TONS wealth are in their hands.
Country Being Drained
Interest burden on bonds and
securities was overwhelming, he said.
Nine billion dollars was paid in this
country every year in the form of
interest. His remedy was to repeal
the interest law, and declare by law,
a moratorium for five year period,
in which no interest would be paid
upon public or private debts, or cor
poration stocks, bonds or securities,
and in which no mortgage foreclos-
ures would be made.
"It's money in circulation that
makes the wheels go round, not the
boarded by plutocrats," Town
ley declared, proposing that the line
billion dollars now paid annually in in
terest would then go to the stores,
farmers and workers. Depression

Bows Reckless Motor
Boating Nets Fine
Endangers Others by Hazardous
Plotting of Craft on Lake
Redwood

For violation of marine act,
operating motor boat at greater
speed than is reasonable and proper
and not having due regard to the
safety of other boats and persons"
a Redwood Falls boy, was fined fiji
teen dollars by Municipal Judge
Thos. F. Reed, Jr.
On complaint of four witnesses the
young offender was hailed into NUM-
cipal court for trial. After Judge
Reed had read provisions regulating
motor boats upon public waters, the
lad admitted his guilt. The violation
occurred on Lake Redwood.
For the enlightenment of the pub
lie in regard to regulations of motor
boats on public waters, Chapter 49,
S. F. No. SO is quoted in part:
"Sec. Pho motor boat under the
provisions of this chapter shall be
operated at a greater speed than is
reasonable and proper having due re-
gard to the safety of other boats and
persons"
"Sec. 3-Every motor boat under
the provisions Of this chapter propell-
ed by an internal combustion engine
shall at all times be so equipped as
to completely and effectually 'muffle'
and silence the sound of the explo-
sions of such engine by diverting its
exhaust under water, or otherwise
except such motor boat is actually
in race licensed to be
held by the council or governing body
nearest that portion of the body OF
water on which the race is held"
Section 3 relates to the requirement
that within "a hours after motor
boat accident involving personal in
jury or loss of life, that the owner or
in charge Of the motor boat
prepare written report Of details OF
the casulty and forward it to the
sheriff of the county in which the ac-
cident occurred.
This is believed to be one of the
first instances in Redwood county Of
for the violation of an
act. governing use of motor boats
upon public waters.

BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN

mustn't even suspect that we know
that he has come"
Reddy promised to do just as old
Granny Fox said, although he was so
impatient that he just had to go down
on the Green Meadows and hunt for
Danny Meadow Mouse so as to keep
from thinking of Honker the Goose
and his followers So it was that
HOnker and the other geese, of whom
he was the leader, went to sleep with
out hearing or seeing a single thing
to make thin anxious or suspicious.
And so it was that in the still small
hours Of the night when those who
sleep at night are usually deepest in
dreamland stealthy feet trotted softly
through the Green Forest toward the
pond of Paddy the Beaver.

Frost and Rough Brother North Wind

den of Old Man Coyote up in the Old
Pasture and he had hastily thrust his
head out to look up in the sky. He
had seen Honker turn and lead his
followers down, down, and finally dis
appear in the Green Forest.
Old Man Coyote had licked his chops
hungrily and grinned as he watched.

over TO Paddy's pond until after HOnk-
er and his followers had had time to
go tC sleep.
