"C h armin g Sinners" Is Sparkling Story of
 Married Life

Charming Sinners" which be- gins showing tonight at the Coli scum theatre, presents sparkling, intimate story of married life, en- acted by group of capable per- formers. Smart dialogue, clever repartee and interesting situations abound.
 Ruth Chatterton, as the wise wife, tired of her husbands phil andering, decides to punish him, once and for all.
 Chooses Dignified Method
 She chooses the dignified method of repaying him in his own coin by pretending to give her affection to an old admirer, William Powell. She fools her husband in clever fashion, reawakens some of the TO- nance which appeared dead to her forever and brings about a read justment in her home which no amount of scandal or ranting could accomplish.

BILLSARE
now EXPLAINED
Rockwell Points To the
Holidays, Wet And
Damp Weather

The following explanation Was
Issued by G. o. Rockwell, general
manager OF the Rio Grande Valley
Gas company. showing the cause
for the increase Of gas bills In the
Valley this month over those Of
last month.
Because OF the fact that the
Rio Grande Valley Gas company
had TO post upon gas cards for
December the interest on each
consumers deposit for the past
year, It was necessary 10 read the
meters a few days earlier in Dec
ember than usual in order to give
the bookkeeping department suf-
ficient time 70 make the entries.
This. Of course. cut the period a
little short Of the regular month
for the December gas bill.
In January when the meter
readers started their regular read
ng Of the meters. the rains were
SO severe and the conditions so
bad that the meter readers could
not make their regular progress
and we're several days late in read
ing. This, together with the reading
earlier in December, made the gas
bills issued for January cover a
period Of about five weeks or much
longer than the December bill.
The January bill also covered
the period during the holiday sea-
son.. at which time 81 consumers
did more cooking than usual and
kept later hours than usual. This
required more fuel and more lights.
Also We had % days Of cold.
damp weather. each day being cold
enough to require a gas fire 10

binary cold days in this section.

ing and turned off by ten or eleven
o'clock when the sun becomes

REDWOOD FALLS
ATHLETES BREAK
FIVE RECORDS
School Places Second in Total
Points at New Ulm Field
and Track Meet
FILM AND CUFF STAR
Pair to Compete in Regional
Meet at Hutchinson
Friday, May 20

Redwood Falls high schools star
athletic duo, Tom Finn and Ward
Cuff, combined forces at the annual
district track meet at New Ulm,
Saturday, to break five of the seven
meet records and gather a total of
80 points for their school.
Finn clipped off the 100 and 220
yard dash events in record time for
ten points while Cuff was setting new
marks in the javelin throw, high
jump and broad jump. Cuff also
placed first in the shotput and rang
up a third place in the discus.
Injuries to two other members of
the squad, Corbett and Jaehning, pre-
vented their placing while Goudy fail
ed to score in the half mile. Jaehn-
ing was unable to compete at all.
Finn stepped off the century in 10.5
seconds in the morning preliminaries
and then duplicated his performance
in the finals to crack the oldest exist
ing record of the meet which was set
by Jackson of Redwood in 1925. He
ran the 22O in 23.9 in the trial heats
and in 24.1 in the finals, also a new
record.
Both events will have to meet the
approval of the district committee be-
fore becoming official. The after
noon records are certain to stand as
running conditions were ideal but
there is a possibility the best mark
in the 220 will be disallowed as there
was a strong wind blowing although
it was across the track.
Cuff, a sophomore, competing in
the district meet for the first time
was easily the star of the meet,
establishing good marks in all three
of his ecord-breaking events. In the
javelin event he threw the spear
distance of 153' 2" which is nearly
16 feet farther than the old mark.
Preuss of New Ulm and Cuff put
on pretty duel in the high jump be-
fore Preuss went out at s. A.. Cuff
then raised the bar to s. 6A," r."
above the old record and succeeded
in clearing it on his third try. He
did not attempt to better this height.
His broad jump mark of 2O' 2"
stands 4" above the best previous
record which was established in 1927.
He also tossed the shot 49, 2' to take
first honors in this event. His best
throw was a" under the record. A
third place in the discus ran his total
of points to % for the day.
Finn and Cuff will compete in the
regional meet at Hutchinson Friday,
May 20 as district champions in their
various events.
