SUNSHINE LANE
ABLY PRESENTED
BY SENIOR CAST
Bv Minnie s. Lauterbach

Combining an interesting story
with clever lines and attractive cos
tunes, the Senior class play, "Sun-
shine Lane" was presented Friday
evening before a fair-sized audience
in the Lincoln school auditorium.
The story revolved around the
efforts of Stephen Warning, wealthy
and penurious New York business
man, to obtain land upon which to
develop a power plant project in the
Sunshine Lane community. Thwart-
ed in his aims by Betty Hilton, he
vented his wrath on the Burroughs
family whose home his party had ap-
propriated because of an unpaid debt.
Rosellen Jackson was excellent in
her humorous portrayal of Mandy
Washington, the colored cook; Alice
Melges made a delightful Betty Hill
ton who combined business and love
in an original way; Logan Foreman
was fine as the irascible and grasp
ing Warning. The difficulties of
Bobbie Schweinfurter
SuoIlS OOu1Sy UOIu III AOu1ouSS aAASA
business were well shown by John
Anthony; Eckoe Macs made a grac-
ious Mrs. Burroughs whose romantic
daughter was charmingly done by
Audrey Cole; Jane Erickson and
Veronica Wohlford as the Warning
sister and daughter were perfect
snobs; Charlotte Martin made a
typical slangy secretary; Francis
Campbell as Nat Morton, the anti
quated shiek, was exceedingly humor-
Gus; Harold Farver was most real
istic young Englishman and Stanley
Otto made a creditable young real
estate agent.
The play was altogether well done
and much praise is due the coach,
Miss Lucille Sturtevant, whose work
with similar performances in the past

SWENSON, CAPTURED
HERE TWICE, MAKE
FOURTH JAILBREAK
Authorities on Lookout After
PipestOne Break Made by
Former AeSident
3 OTHERS MAKE ESCAPE
Hack Saw Blades Found Outside
Window; Believe Men Had
Outside Help

Ernest "Slim" Swenson probably
broke record for Jail breaking Tues
day morning when he escaped from
the Pipestone county Jail for the third
time. Three other prisoners, two of
them former convicts, left the Jail at
the same time. Swenson also escap-
ed from South Dakota Jail few
years ago.
Redwood county officials who have
caught Swenson twice and sent him
back to Pipestone were warned i'm
mediately of the break and asked to
aid in the statewide hunt for the
convicts. Other times when the
former Redwoodite slipped out of the
Pipestone Jail, Sheriff L. ]. Kise and
Deputy Sheriff Harry Beatty figured
in brawls which ended with his re-
capture.
"They evidently received aid from
the outside" Sheriff Joseph Hines of
Pipestone stated on his arrival here
Tuesday afternoon with Sheriff
George Nelson of Murray county, to
seek aid. -Four hack saw blades
were found beneath the window from
which they escaped besides other
clues which would lead to the conclu-
sion that the bars were not entirely
sawed from the inside"
An outside paddock on the fire es-
cape had been broken, apparently
by someone on the outside, and the
grill door on the cell block sawed.
Sheriff Joe Hines, who said the
men were held at Pipestone because
Murray county has no county Jail,
made an inspection at midnight be-
fore he retired and said nothing was
amiss.
At GAS a. m. when he reported,
one of the prisoners shouted: There's
been a jailbreak."
Swenson was wanted here to serve
a 80 day sentence for hog stealing
when he completed his term there.
He is also wanted in New Ulm on a
charge of grand larceny in the first
degree.
Swenson, 26 years old, was last
seen in Redwood Falls the night that
Deputy Beatty and Oscar Warner,
then night police, captured him after
a gun fight.
The other three prisoners are
Cameron Vivian, 81, Mandan, North
Dakota, who escaped in July, 1882,
from the penitentiary at McAlester,
Oklahoma.
Clyde Smith, 81, Bowling Green,
Ohio, who served a term at Fort
Madison, Iowa, for assault and rob-
berry.
Joe La France, "a, Billings, Mont
ana who served term at Leaven-
worth, Kansas penitentiary on mar
cotic charge.

 The usual reaction followed.
 Pained and indignant protests from school teachers or superin- tendents were filed with the head | office. Fervent expressions of ap- proyal come to me from parents.

Times have changed in many ways but Christmas customs and festivities remain much the same year after year. In fact, most families resent any marked inno- vation in the festivities and con- sider the Christmas dinner lacking if the cook fails to provide the tra- ditional favorites.
 In homes where there are small children, breakfast is an important meal. When the stockings that are hung by the chimney or even over the foot of the bed are quite small, breakfast may be wanted early on Christmas day in the morning." Brkeafast any time un- til nine o'clock means a fairly hearty meal, but it should be sim pie and easily and quickly pre- pared. Fruit prepared the night before, toast made at the table and a simple easily digested main dish are all that is necessary.

 The day before Christmas is us- ually very busy day for the cook. The fowl should be cleaned and stuffed and trussed, ready for the oven. The pudding sauce can be made at least in part. The salad dressing can be made one or two days before wanted and kept on ice. The celery can be crisped and wrapped in a damp towel and stored in the refrigerator until wanted.

If you seriously desire to get rid of an oily hair condition, set aside twenty minutes each night just before you go to bed and plan to work hard during all of that time.
 Four things you will need for this scalp treatment good brush, with flexible hristles, clean cotton pads, an astringent tonic and large, clean towel.
 First, brush the hair lightly to remove excess dust and dirt. Then, with your comb. part your hair into small sections. Dip q cotton pad in the tonic and rub 1t right on the scalp. Keep on mak- ing small parts and rubbing on more tonic until every inch of the scalp is moist. Remember that you are primarily interested in treating the scalp and there isn't any use wasting the tonic on your hair.
 When the cotton pad begins 10 look soiled, throw it away and use a clean one.
 When, you have finished with the tonic Git shouldn't take more than two tablespoonfuls for each treatmcnt). rub your hoir briskly with the clean towel. Then begin brushing.
 With each stroke, see that the brush starts r.ght on the scalp.
