the Obermeyer men have a rating

Billy Sunday
Held Revivdl
Here IN 1904

With the death of Billy Sunday,
renowned evangelist, Sunday old
timers in Redwood Falls wracked
their brains for details of his
rousing revival campaign in Red
wood Falls over 80 years ago. It
required no great effort for old
residents, even those who were
small children at the time to re-
call that the town went completely
Billy Sunday that winter, that all
other attractions were forgotten
and that many miraculous con-
versions took place.
According to business men who
came to work the last morning
of the revivals, the steps of the
bank were crowded with enthus-
lasts, drawing out money, and
signing notes for the collection
that night, the collection in which
the evangelist shared, according
to other reports of his custom. His
share here was something like
$500, old residents say.
Meetings were held in a spec
tally constructed wooden taber-
nacle with a seating capacity of
about 500, located on the present
site of the Gotlieb Herman house,
and the consensus is that the year
was 1904. After six weeks of
powerful preaching during which
drunkards, gamblers and many
with less apparent failings "came
forward, Sunday left large
number of converts, many of
whom remained faithful, which
old-timers are unable to estimate.
In buggies and wagons, people
came from as far away as Mar
shall to hear the gifted man and
the huge choir, assembled from
among local people, packing the
tabernacle every night.
While here, Sunday stayed with
w. H. Wallace, banker, an uncle of
D. w. Gold who as child visiting
his uncle's house was much i'm
pressed with the calm studious
man who could leap into the char
acter of a human electric storm on
the speaking stage. "He had the
entire Bible in his own handwrit-
ing" Mr.. Gold says.
With Sunday at the time was
his wife and son, Billy, Jr. whom
many men now middle aged re-
call as a rather slough" playmate.

which brought the score to Is to

a great high school career, q lead

activities, always in condition and

it was fitting that the runner

Because the public appreciates
only q small part of what really
goes on in q football game, ball
carriers most frequently achieve
fame but every other player on
the field deserves q share in the

STAND FIRM FOR
PEACE ARMISTICE
SPEAKER ADVISES
Munitions Men and Inter-
National Bankers
Blamed for War

The Importance of Armistice
day and its special significance
when every European country is
an armed camp was stressed by
z. L. Begin, Marshall attorney
and past department commander
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
in his address at the exercises
Monday morning at the armory.
Vividly picturing the horrors of
the trenches on the $50 mile west
ern front, Mr.. Begin said mo
veteran organization wants war
but rather is actively engaged in
the promotion of world peace and
it is necessary that the citizenry
as well keep congress informed on
it's desire for peace so that the
administration and congressman
do not listen to international ban
kers, munition makers and others
interested in promoting war.
SIN spite of the skillful con-
nivance" he continued "and the in
sidious lies of these men who love
no flag nor country and whose
sole interest is in the profits they
reap from warfare, we must stand
firm in our determination to keep
out of the conflict in which at any
moment all Europe may be en-
broiled. Armistice day should re-
call to us the cries of our wounded
and dying soldiers, the desolate
homes from which they came and
the thousands of children who
were left unprotected and on the
verge of famine after the World
war;"
Mr. Begin closed his talk with
an appropriate quotation from
Kipling's "RecessionaP after
paying special tribute to A. A.
Wilson, sole Civil War veteran
seated on the stage with Spanish
American and World War service
men.
Leon H. Brown presided at the
meeting which opened with the
spirited playing of a medley OF
war songs by the Scenic City band
and Rev. Godfrey O'Sullivan gave
the invocation. F. H. Anthony
sang the Veterans of Foreign
War song "Sleep Soldier Sleep"
with Mrs. Anthony at the piano
and Gilbert Weber, trombonist
playing Taps. Gin Flanders
Fields" was recited by Jean Lau-
terbach and Gertrude Smith and
Jeanette Hillig, accompanied by
Mary Elizabeth Harris, played
"The Glow Worm" as a flute duet.

diction after which the aud
fence stood at attention during the
playing of "Star Spangled Ban

C.M-AUDITORIUM
HEARINGPROBLEM
TO Be CORRECTED
School Board Approves $S41
To Solve Difficulty
With Acoustics

Difficulties audiences have al
ways had in hearing programs of
all kinds at the Lincoln school
auditorium will be overcome with
the installation of ceiling panels
contracted for by the school board
at its meeting Tuesday night with
a guarantee of satisfaction.
The panels will be of acousti-
celotex, two of them II feet by 46
feet and one 46 feet by Is feet,
which will prevent the reverbera-
tons now extremely noticeable in
almost every part of the room.
Tests made of the room show
that sound travels back and forth
in it for six seconds, becoming
confused with new sounds occur
ring during that time. With the
installation of the celotex, which
will be done during the week of
: Thanksgiving, the reverberations
will be reduced to 1.57 seconds
when the building is empty. The
period will be reduced in accor-
dance with the size Of the audien-
&c, ScCLlIlS OOWA W - SCCoIiu WHICH,
filed to capacity.
The panels are thirteen-sixteen-
tbs of an inch thick End will be
painted with a rolled ivory Eng
lsh finish.
The school board has been con-
sidering the change for some time,
making a thorough study of it,
and finally voted unanimously to
contract for the Improvement. The
cost will be $841, the transaction
having been made with the Insul-
alton Sales Co. Inc. through the
the Botsford Lumber company.
Similar improvements were con-
sidered for the music rooms but
as the classes are growing at a
rate that will eventually mean
larger rooms will be needed for
this work, it was decided not to
make the change on present
rooms. ~

has passed through the cleansing
fires of defeat which left the best
in the organization, removing the

"In 1882 the people of this coun-
try were willing to follow any
leader so long as he preached the
doctrine of discomfort, he said.
"Those leaders promised what
they did not have and could not
give during that storm period. We
have come out of that period in
spite of and not because of what
they did," the party's central COM
mitteeman stated.
He urgd that the Republican
party be more friendly and Soc
liable within the ranks, as is the
Farmer-Labor party and included
plans for social meetings and pic
mics in the outline he presented
for activities of a countrywide
club soon to be organized.
State government as well as
national government was under
fire when the speaker remarked,
"The old ghost of the cooperative
commonwealth will again stalk
the state in q new shroud this

Frank Clague, presiding at the
dinner which was served by the

A. o. C. previously accepted in Sep
tember, 1884.
The situation narrows down brief
ly as follows:
|. The A. o. c., the ruling body
as far as the Olympics are concern
ed already has accepted Germany S
invitation.
2. The A. A. U. has nothing to say
about whether America will or
won't compete.
3. The A. A. u. can, however, go
on record against holding the games
in Berlin. Such an eventuality would
make it necessary for American ath-
letes to register through the A. A. u,
thus undoubtedly precipitating do
mestic controversy.
4. If the A. A. U. should boycott
the games, it would be taken as a
successful test of strength by the
anti group. An effort then prob
ably would be made to instruct the
delegates to the A o. c. to force
the issue at an executive session of
that group, scheduled for Sunday af-
ternoon.
5. A. A. u. representatives hold
more than 25 per cent of the Amer
ican Olympic committee votes With
this as a foundation, they would be
in a position to swing vote that
would keep the u. S. out of the
games if held in Berlin.

The three-day meeting opens to-
morrow with the Olympic question
certain to be sought to the floor on
Saturday by Jaremiah T. Mahoney,
A. A. U. president and one of the
leaders in a campaign to keep this
country out of the games because
of racial discrimination in Ger
many.
AS a body, the A. A. u. can do
nothing more than express its SEN

vote, however, probably would carry
enough strength to force reconsid-
Grafton of an invitation which the
American Olympic committee pro-

Although the meeting ostensibly
is for the purpose of approving
amateur records and considering
rule changes, the Olympic question
is certain to occupy commanding
position. despite the fact that it is
not on the agenda.
Whatever side procures major
