other educational enterprises at the
university. He is a personal friend of
County Agent Nate H. Bovee who
sent congratulations soon after the
appointment was announced.
Since he is a leader in extension
work, the appointment of Mr.. Peck
has helped silence rumors that all ex-
tension and experimental work of the
department. Of agriculture would be
eliminated under the presidents econ
omy program. Several other men
associated with Henry Morganthau
Jr., farm board chairman and Henry
A. Wallace, secretary Of agriculture,
were in extension work prior to their
appointments. Mr.. Peck will leave
for Washington April "a.
In his talk here, Mr.. Peck lauded
the Redwood county weed eradication
plan as the best move ever started in
that line. He has Influenced other
counties in several states to adopt
the program.

81 Garden Plots to Furnish
Food to 80 Families In 1884
5 Acres at County Home Spoken
for; Saving in Subscrip-
ti0ns Expected

About 81 plots of ground at the
county home west of Redwood Falls
will provide vegetables for 80 needy
families here next winter if the plans
of the Redwood Falls Relief associa-
ton materialize.
C. A. Lauterbach, secretary of the
association, L. P. Winter and DR..
George A. Alexander, members of the
relief group, spent Tuesday and We'd
nesday determining the number OF
families who wish aid and the amount
of land they will require. They al
lowed each family to decide the
amount of ground it could use.
The plots are the size Of city lots
and are located on the county home
land which was purchased from Mrs.
Mary Jackson last year by the county
commissioners.
Land will be staked out, Mr.. Lau-
terbach stated, with names of the
family on each plot. William Johns.
manager of the county home and
members of the relief association will
supervise the work and see that the
gardens are kept properly.
The Redwood relief group has de-
cided to purchase seed potatoes and
the county will furnish other seeds.
1t is estimated by authorities that
about 80 bushels of potatoes will be
needed to supply the demand of FAM
lilies receiving relief. Other garden
seeds will be purchased in bulk and
distributed as needed.
Besides supervising the work, Mr..
Johns has consented to pillow all the
land and furnish a room for canning
vegetables in the fall. The 81 plots
amount to approximately five acres.
Mr.. Lauterbach expects that the
associations plan will save several
hundred dollars.
The committee met Wednesday night
and stored most of the winter clothing
for future use. A saving is also expect
ed in the purchase of clothing next
year as much is left over from this
year. Clothing not worth packing
away will be given away Friday in
the relief rooms.

CHORISTS OF TWO
CITIES UNITE FOR
EASTER ORATORIO
Springfield, Redwood Singers
to Give 'tOlivet to
Calvary" Sunday

Between IS and 100 voices will
join in selections from the Passion
play Sunday night at the Methodist
church when "Olivet to Calvary"
sacred oratorio, will be presented by
members of the Redwood Falls and
Springfield Choral clubs.
If the crowd at Springfield Sunday
night when hundreds enjoyed the pro-
duction and as many were turned
away is duplicated here, it is probable
the play will be presented second
time at a later date.
"Olivet to Calvary" recalls simply
and reverently the scenes which mark
the last few days of Christ's life on
earth and reflections they suggest.
The rejoicing of the multitude with
hosannas and palms, the view of Jer-
usalem from the steep of Olivet, the
lament over the beautiful city, the
scene in the temple and the lonely
walk back over the mount at night,
form the features of the first part of
the oratorio.
The second part opens with the
supper of the passover, at which Jesus
washes his disciples feet and gives to
his friends the command to love one
another as the sign of true disciple
ship. From this the scene passes to
the infinite pathos of the Garden OF
Gethsemane, the sudden appearance
of the hostile crowd, Jesus forsaken
by his disciples, his utter loneliness
among ruthless foes, the tumult be-
fore Plate in the judgment hall, the
passage of the cross, the tragedy and
triumph of Calvary. j. M. Maunder
is the composer.
The final rehearsal before the eve
ming performance which will begin at
8 D. m. will be held Sunday at 4:30
p. m. at the church. T. F. Reed, pre-
sident of the club, urges all members
to be present for the rehearsal.
Soloists will be Mrs. Max Treu,
Mrs. R. w. Pryor, Mrs. B. E. Marsh,
Fred Anthony, C. D. Clipfell, H. V.
Starr, Frank Hopkins and Leonard
Kiecker, Fairfax and T. F. Reed. E.
]. Ruenitz, Springfield will be direct
or as well as a soloist and Mrs. H. V.
Starr will be organist.
About SO singers from the Redwood
club assisted the Springfield group
stage the one hour and Is minute
presentation there Sunday night.
About 80 singers from there will be
here Sunday night.
Mrs. Treu has been placed in charge
of a committee to prepare a lunch
which will be served to chorists fol-
lowing the concert.

Morgan Bank ReOpens;
Gets $35, 900 in Day

The second bank in Redwood coun-
ty to declare the holiday season over,
the State Bank of Morgan reopened
for business Monday and took in $780,
600 in new deposits the opening day,
according to George M. Davis, presi-
dent.
Following meetings Of directors and
depositors, agreements were reached
which were approved by the state
banking department. The re-opening
of the bank is boon to business not
only in the immediate community
but throughout the county.
Shaken confidence caused run on
the bank late in February and it
closed temporarily March 2, two days
before the state and national bank
holiday began. The amount of depo-
sits received Tuesday is considered a
positive sign that the troubles are
over and the community again has
confidence in its institution which was
considered one of the strongest in
this section Of Minnesota.

The problem of drunkenness and
disorderliness appears to have been
solved with the return of beer, accord
ing to Mayor H. D. Thorp and Police
Chief Oscar Warner who were inter-
viewed Wednesday in regard to their
opinions on the subject after almost
a weeks trial.
No arrests were made in the city
during the week and disorderly con-
duct was at a minimum, they said.
"Spiking" has been positively forbid
den both by the city council and places
dealing in the 80 per cent beer and
most of the beer drinkers expressed
no desire to break the ruling.
A total of 41o cases of the new
brew were sold in the city during the
six days, a census of dealers showed,
which at Is cents for each IL ounce
bottle amounts to $1,476. Some OF
the beer was sold in cases at some

JURORS DISMISSED
BEFORE CONVEYING
IN UNUSUAL TERM
Only Few Court Cases Remain
on Calendar; 3 Youths
Sentenced

For the first time in 63 years of
court history here, the petit jury was
dismissed Tuesday without hearing a
case. Jurors were to convene We'd
nesday but Judge Albert H. Emerson
of Marshall dismissed them after can
cellations and combinations shorten
ed the already brief calendar.
Frank Baldwin, clerk of court,
searched back through the dusty files
of previous court records and found
that at no time, back to 1870, had a
jury been dismissed without conven-
ing.
Ingvold Benson and Leslie Dallman
of Lucan were given six months
terms in the county Jail Wednesday
afternoon by Judge Emerson after
pleading guilty to charge of steal
ing a car April 1. Five months of
the sentences were suspended on good
behavior and payment of court costs.
Wallace Archer, third member OF
the trio who pleaded not guilty Mon
day afternoon, changed his plea to
guilty to being an accomplice and was
given a three months suspended sent
ence.
The car was stolen from the streets
of Lucan while its owner, Herman
Bruins, was in a restaurant and was
found the next day in Marshall.
The boys were arrested Saturday
by Sheriff L. j. Kise and Deputy
Sheriff Harry Beatty and arraigned in
municipal court Saturday afternoon.
They pleaded guilty to the charge be-
fore Judge T. F. Reed and were
bound over to district court.
They told Sheriff Kise that they
abandoned the car in Marshall and
boarded a train for Minneapolis. They
returned to their homes Friday eve
ming.
A decision has not been given in
the case of Mrs. Alice M. Warner
against the Modern Brotherhood Of
America in which Mrs. Warner is
claiming $4,000 from the insurance
policy of her husband who disappear
ed in 1911. She testified she has paid
the premiums since his disappearance.
Mrs. Warner told the court that
she was married December z, 1889
and that her husband would have
been 81 July 2. She stated that she
last heard from him in March, 1911
when he wrote from Deer River that
he was returning from the Dakotas.
A. R. A. Laudon, her attorney,
showed many letters Mrs. Warner has
written since to friends, relatives and
postmasters trying to locate him.
Court was dismissed shortly before
2 o. m. Wednesday. A few court
cases remain on the calendar and will
be heard this week.

BELLE OF BACDAD"
OFFERS CHANCE TO
DISPLAY TALENTS
High School Operetta to be
Presented April Fl Has
Popular Theme

The Senior High school glee clubs
will present the popular operetta
"The Belle of Bagdad," in the Lincoln
school auditorium Friday, April 81.
Miss Elizabeth Adams, the public
school music instructor, has charge of
the production, assisted by several
faculty members.
Twelve principals will appear in
solos and duets with several support
ing choruses. The scenery and cos
tunes assist in making this production
delightful entertainment. This operet-
ia has been staged and is being stag
ed by many high schools this season.
The theme of the operetta permits
members of the cast to reveal their
musical abilities in numbers which
appeal to the audience.
Fair day in Bagdad is marked by
the arrival of visitors, among them
being Mrs. j. Horace Mccain, the
new American consul, with her daugh-
ter, Elsa, and her daughters friend,
Anne. Lord Archie Fritzgibbons, an
old friend, is also present and little
later comes Henrietta Whipstich. On
being presented to the Caliph and his
daughter, Jewel, they learn that an
assassin is abroad who carries bomb
concealed in a camera, and for this
reason all persons with cameras are
to be shot Immediately.
Dick Taylor arrives from Holly
wood, accompanied by his two mech
anics, Bob and Bill. They are anxious
to find a lovely girl, known only as
the Belle of Bagdad, in order to en-
gage her as a moving picture star.
They hope to identify her by some
small photographs which they carry,
and also by an amulet she wears, but
in order to make sure they bring a
large camera with them to make pic
lures of all prospects.
