Alexander Loses
in State Declam

Although several carloads OF
friends from Redwood Falls and
Vesta and former schoolmates
now in Twin Cities schools who
attended the state declamatory
contest in Minneapolis, Wednes-
day night feel that his selection
was among the best given, Sydney
Alexander, Redwood Falls High
school boy from Vesta, lost to a
st. Cloud youth who gave the Sc
lection "Wil1ard Wilson"
Sydney, who with two brothers
is earning his way through school,
won the inter-regional meet last
week with his Grafton youth

minor contests.

School Groups Will
Miss Music Festival

Redwood Falls musical organi-
cations will not enter the state
high school music festival and
contest this year because no place
in which to hold a district contest
is available.
Only schools in the district with
facilities for the massed band of
400 persons which is usually a
part of the district festival are st.
James, FairInont and Glencoe.
i School officials at Glencoe
where the tournament was held
last year are not in favor of dis
missing school children for a
whole day during the affair again
this year. The st. James school is
being redecorated and Fairmont
is too far away from many of the
schools to make the trip practical.
S. w. Limburg, director, plans
to give music pupils a trip this
year, although he has not yet de-
cided where.

Gales Dairy.
Starts Route
NEW EQUIPMENT ADDED
AT MODEL DAIRY
FARM

THE Pine Tree Dairy" featur-
ing products which will include a
special babies milk will be estab-
lished soon, with a milk and
cream route to begin about April
l.
Otto Gales and son who oper-
ate an already well developed
dairy farm a short way west OF
the city will add modern equip
ment to enable them to furnish
Redwood Falls customers with
milk in which the bacteria count
is very low.
A cream truck with green and
gold pine tree insignia which was
designed by Rex Gales, Mime
apolis architect, will be used Tor
the route. The driver will wear
a white uniform with the same
emblem.
Most important of the equip
ment to be added is the milk
cooler into which the milk is
poured for quick cooling. The
LIQUID passes over tubes contain
ing cold water and brine, run
ming into the bottles at temper
allure of 40 degrees. 1t is quick
cooling, authorities say, which
keeps the bacteria count in milk
down.
Stainless steel is the material
of the receiving vat into which
milk is poured from the automa-
tic mixers and the bottles are
cleaned and sterilized in a stain
less steel box containing two
compartments, one for mechanic
al cleaning, the other for rinsing
in a germ-killing solution.
The special babies milk will
not be open to the air until 1t
reaches the milk house, as mixer
containers will be kept air tight
until then. The cows are wash
ed before milking, the barn is
disinfected every day and the
floors lined. An automatic ven
tilating system keeps the air
fresh.
A walk-in Frigidaire cooler
will keep milk at the proper
temperature until delivery is
made, and the improvement pro-
gram at the farm includes the en-
largement of the milk house so
that washing of bottles and
equipment may be done in sep
arate room.

GIRLS LIKE GIFTS BUT
AREN'T CONCERNED
ABOUT MANNERS"

Boys will be boys and girls are
vitality interested in them, a re-
cent vote on ''the ideal girl" and
"quiz on male morals given at
Redwood Falls High school indi-
Gates. The polls were taken by
members of the boys and girls
clubs.
The boys, 80 of them ranging in
age from Is to 18 and in grades
from the sophomore through the
senior classes, were unanimously
agreed on three things. They don't
like the idea of being engaged in
high school. They like a girl who
is good conversationalist and
they hate the girl with the paint
ed doll" look.
The so-called old fashioned girl
is tops with the high school stu
dents. An overwhelming majority
stated that drinking does not
make girl popular; that they do
not care to 60 with a "fast" girl or
one who smokes, that they do not
like girl who tells questionable
jokes; that they dislike girl who
swears and that the girl who
wears simple and tasteful clothes
is their choice. Thirty-one said
they liked natural makeup"
However, with spring coming
on Is of them said that
girl must meek to rate" while IA
said it is not necessary.
Twenty youths said they think
less of girl when they find she
has a "line," while IL appear to
rather like being strung along.
One individualist expressed his
preference for "the type of girl
who appears bored with you" and
five of the 80 like the Indifferent
type. Four like them catty and
four are pleased when they are
jealous. They don't mind females
who furnish them competition in
sports as the vote of ~ for and
five against on that question in
dicates, and 26 like the athletic
type"
Probably having the glorifed
chorus girl in mind, two said they
like "gold-diggers," and the same
enjoy it when a girl asks
to be taken places.
"Blind dates" are frowned upon
by % disillusioned young men.
do you like girl to have
strict parents? mo. say % of the
gentlemen while 10 say yes, but
all except one believe girl
should mind her mother and faith

year old structure now in use.
Features of the new elevator
include a loading leg so large that
it will take only As minutes to
load a car of grain, an operation
which now requires four hours.
There will be a scale 26 feet in
length with a 20 ton capacity
which will accommodate any size
truck. There will be a modern
air-dump and the entire basement
will be of concrete. A warehouse
for flour and seed viii be built in
connection and a two room office
is planned. -

WandaCouple
Aroused Find
Barn Covered
BELIEVE MISTAKE IN
NAMES WAS CAUSE
OF BLUNDER

Lamberton - Twenty federal
men who crept up in the dark of
the night Monday and surrounded
their barn in raid on the wrong
place so alarmed MIR. and Mrs.
Fred Zieske, young Wanda cou-
pie, that they were still shaken
with fright day after the official
blunder.
The couple, who live two and a
half miles southwest of Wanda,
had noticed cars driving past
their place before they retired at
about 9 p. m. Monday but they
thought nothing of it. About Is
minutes after they had gone to
bed, they were awakened by the
sound of automobiles coming into
their yard. They looked from the
window and saw 20 men sur
rounding the barn, holding flash
lights in their hands.
Mrs. Zieske thought, at first
glance, that there was a fire in
the place and started to telephone
for help but her husband stopped
her, believing the group to be
stock thieves.
He dressed hurriedly and went
into the yard when man shout
ed, Stand still, we've got you
covered"
Bewildered, he asked what they
wanted and they told him they
had come to raid a still on the
place.
With great difficulty he convin-
ced them that there was no illegal
liquor manufacturing plant there
and the leader, a giant of a man,
apologiZed for the mistake.
He told Zieske that the farmer
for whose still they were hunting
had a name similar to his and
lived between Lamberton and
Wanda.
Zieske insisted that they show
their authority and their creden-
tials proved them to be agents
from ST. Paul and Iowa. Before
they left, Zieske said, the leader
called the roll of all officers under
him.
Upset by the strange occurrence
the couple took their baby and
left the farm for the day Tuesday.
Persons at Lamberton have
been unable to discover whether
or not raid at the intended place
was made the same night. It is
probable that if it was not, the
still, if there was one, has already
been, destroyed or carefully con-
cealed by the owner.

ONLY 8 OF IS SMOKE
ITO BE GOOD SPORTS

The question do you like to
pet?" brought So yesses and sew
en- noes from honest young ladies
who answered the Girls club
more searching QUESTIONABLE, but
only five of the IS who voted said
they expected boy to kiss them
on their first date together.
Surprising to Woodworking
teachers and others in industrial
and professional circles, is the
fact that go energetic girls do not
consider l a. m. a late hour, al
though parents and those who re-
member their own high school
years will probably think the vote
about average.
The two males who prefer the
"gold-digger" may choose from
among 40 girls who believe in
accepting valuable gifts from boys
and the Is who would 60 out with
a boy for his money only. Only
10, however, expect money to be
spent on them on every date.
The girls aren't especially de-
handing of the little attentions
from men. Fifty-two say they
don't like to be assisted across the
street. Forty-seven don't like men
to notice their clothes. Only Is
mind if the boy doesn't walk on
the outside and So of the indepen-
dent misses don't expect the boy
to help them into the car.
To "a of them, it makes a diff
ference if the boy dances well, to
% it doesn't and eight are "indif-
ferent."
And they're pretty nice girls,
after all. Only eight smoke to be
good sports and only two drink
for the same reason.
