Ball Game Brings
Old Rivals Here

Baseball fans from Wabasso
and its surrounding rural area
will be especially interested in the
game which will bring their fav-
orites together with Redwood
Falls in a non league tilt at the
fair grounds. The first ball is
scheduled to be pitched at 2:3O p.
m.
Victor in a previous meeting be-
tween the two Twin County league
clubs, Wabasso will strive to make
it two straight over the Scenic
City nine. Competition is keen
between the county seat and the
smaller communities in the county
and most anything, at least the
guarantee of a hard fought game,
can be assured. Redwood Falls
will be rejuvenated with several
new players in the lineup who
may turn the tide of victory this
time in different direction. Har-
old Kickul is in charge of arrange
ments for the game.

Aid Farmers
LOSSES SPOTTED; MANY
CAN STILL COMPLY
WITH PROGRAM

Crop damage, ranging from ten
per cent losses to complete des-
truction, resulted from a hail
storm which swept across six
townships in northern and central
Redwood county Tuesday after
noon.
Kintire and Delhi township
farms and townships west of them
in Yellow Medicine county as well
as Redwood Falls, Paxton, New
Avon and Three Lakes townships
south of town were in the storm
zone.
Losses were spotted, some fields
being completely wiped out while
other fields on the same farm or
adjoining farms escaped with lit
tie damage, In most cases barley
and oats were reported the more
severely damaged while late corn
suffered more than early corn.
Heavy rain which accompanied
the hail did considerable good
where the hail was not heavy.
A long strip starting in Yellow
Medicine county and running
across Kintire and Delhi town
ships south of Belview and Delhi
seems to have horn the brunt of
the storm although losses on sew
eral farms south of Redwood Falls
were equally heavy.
Some of the crops were only
setback by the hail but on many
places preparations are underway
to plow under the small grain to
comply with federal soil conserva-
ton program rules for summer
fallowing, the payments offered
for this compliance to serve more
or less as crop insurance.
For the first time in history all
the Sanders farms, located in Red
wood Falls and Paxton townships,
were hit by one storm. On some
places losses were severe, on 9TH
ers slight.

ported Is or 20 inquiries Wednes-
day from farmers planning to take

TRUE TO NOVEL

{ author. In a prologue, 10 scenes,
and an epilogue, moving with
CELEBRITY, is told the tale of tangled
love in the shabby Frome farm
house in northern New England
. Life was empty, Squalid and
lonely for the rugged Ethan
Frome, who tries to exc out liv-
, ing from barren soil. His invalid
wife, Zenobia, was a gentle tyrant,
brooding over her ills and, in her
Self-pity, complaining constantly
about the drudgery and routine of
! the kitchen.
It was Zenobia who suggested
that a poverty stricken young
cousin, Matte Silver, be brought
/ into the household to tighten her
burden. Against the wishes Of
Ethan Frome, appalled, at the
thought of another mouth to
feed, Matte becomes the Prone
servant, her recompense board
. and keep.

1t is tragic irony that the death
