NOt only does tnlS latter course
save everybody lot of work but
it is bound to please the unmusical
part of the congregation who like
to hear what they have grown fond
of as often as possible
The field of church music is not
only very large but also not fully
explored by the ordinary group of
choir singers. We have often Won
dered in arranging the music pro-
grams for Christmas and Easter for
the special page devoted to it, why,
each season, there seems to be
run on certain numbers and nearly
every choir will include them for
these occasions. Perhaps they are
numbers just received by the music
stores and choir directors take them
when hunting up a program. At
any rate, the real novelties from
year to year are very scarce.
This seems a pity both from the
point of view of the congregation
and the choirs. So much can be
done in the way of music education
by bringing the best before these
people, what with the congregation
being in a receptive mood and the
choirs enjoying the preparation for
q big event. The different styles
used in the various periods of the
worlds history and in churches of
different denominations are all
worthy of investigation and study.
Much has been said in favor of
the strictly religious type of music
and again of the more appealing
kind, which certainly seems to be
more the vogue, but correct mix
ture of the two ought to satisfy
every church ministry and, if
judicially employed, can lead to
betterment of the musical taste
Of all concerned.
Junior Choir.
That the appreciation of all kinds
of the best church music can be in
stilled at an early age is proven
by the practice that has recently
come to our notice of the Mount
Pleasant and the Cleveland Park
Congregational Churches in regard
to the Junior choir With a men,
bership of % girls and boys, rang
ing from to IA years of age and
under the leadership of Richard
Tuve, Mrs. G. H. Collingwood, Mrs.
c. R. Moore and Paul Robson, the
choir rehearses twice a week, on
Friday afternoons at the Mount
Pleasant church and on Sunday
mornings at the Cleveland Park
church.
Here is the story of what these
young people are doing:
The Junior Choir is studying the
evolution of sacred music from early
man down tl1)ugh the ages to our
hymn books A visit was made to
the main library to listen to re-
cordings of early and medieval
church music. Norton NJ Little, the
chorister at Mount Pleasant, is now
giving talks on hymnology, and the
whole junior department is study
ing book called The Whole World
Sings. Visits will be made to Cath
olic and Jewish worship services to
hear the music of these faiths. A
choir from South East Settlement
gave some spirituals last month.

READER SENT TO
ST. CLOUD TO-DAY

st. Paul.-Samuel J. Reader,
contractor who was found guilty
in Ramsey county district court
last spring of fraudulent opera
tons in connection with a state
highway job, surrendered volun-
tarily to Ramsey county attorney
M. F. Kinkead today and was. i'm
mediately sent to st. Cloud re-
formatory to begin serving a SEN
tence of up to five years.
Reader had been at liberty on
$4,000 bond after his sentence
was stayed pending the outcome
of a motion by his attorney for a
new trial.
The motion was denied recently
by Trial Judge John w. Boerner
who sentenced Reader. An appeal
to the supreme court was aband-
oned when Reader surrendered
and automatically vacated the stay
of his commitment to prison.
Reader was defendant in the
state highway cases along with N.
W.. Elsberg, former state high
way commissioner and L. L. AL
len, former maintenance engin-
Ger. Elsberg and Allen both are
under sentences of up to five years
which were stayed pending out
come of motions for new trials,
which will be argued in the fall
term of district court here.

Fair Fails To
Equal'38Gate
GRANDSTAND, CONCES.
SION RECEIPTS ALSO
BELOW LAST YEAR

Despite its good start in the
first two days, the 1889 Redwood
county fair failed by approximate
ly $1,000 to equal last years gross
receipts when Thursdays crowd
dwindled considerably from the
final day last season.
In every department the fair
took a beating financially, al
though generally praised as the
county's best fair. The gate. re-
.ceipts for the year were $2,850.80
of which $2,14O.65 were day adj
missions and $596.65 evening adj
missions, the balance vehicle and
exhibitor tickets. Last year the
gross at the gate was 3,161.45.
Grandstand revenue was more
seriously reduced. the income here
falling from $2,712.50 in 1888 to
$2,03170 this year. Concession
receipts dropped from $2.651 Sc,
which included the gross income
from the beer tavern of which
about $3.50 was expense, to ST.
1887 this year. Even miscellan-
eous revenue items were below
last year.
Reason for the failure of the
fair to come up to expectations is
matter of much speculation.
Some board members feel horse
racing should be restored to a
prominent place on the program.
This probably would mean re-
turning to the late September
dates used until a year ago since
there is considerable competition
for horses during August when

Cuff Scores in.
Au-Star Game
FIELD GOAL STARTS
GIANTS ON WAY TO
90 TRIUMPH

Ward Cuff, Redwood Falls
member of the New York Giants,
scored the first field goal in the
Giants-All Star football game at
Soldiers Field in Chicago last
night, the only points the pros
really needed in their 8 to 0 vic
tory over the former collegianS.
Cuffs boot was made from the
"a yard lire less than five min
utes after the game started. In
the third quarter he missed an
other by inches, this time from
the ten yard line, when the ball
struck an upright and bounced
eff on the wrong side. Strong
kicked the Giants other two goals,
one from the Fl yard line in the
second quarter and another from
the IL marker in the final period.
Cuffs playing was described as
brilliant by sports writers. A
blocking back as well as kicker,
he seldom carried the ball last
season. Last night he went for II
yards on lateral pass play on
one occasion.
Larry BUTLER, Window boy who
went to Minnesota while Cuff was
at Marquette, was in the all-Star
squad but was not used in the
game. Newspaper articles some
time ago described him as anxious
to play against his former high
school opponent again.

ART MILLER AT
HOSPITAL WITH
SCALP WOUNDS

Slugged over the head by an
unknown Iassailant Wednesday
night, Arthur Miller, 81, of Red
wood Falls is confined to Redwood
Falls hospital. He expects to be
released in few days.
Miller said he was entering his
shack in the used car lot next to
the Carity service station and
lunch room on the west outskirts
of Redwood Falls when a man
emerged through the doorway.
He struck Miller along the fore
head near the temple with bottle
or blackjack. "It certainly wasn't
his fist" Miller said at the hos
pital today.
A vein in the forehead was cut
and Miller was blee ding profusely
when Leonard Carity heard the
disturbance and rushed to him.
Miller says he has no idea who
attacked him.

City Hospital
Plans in Hands
of Committee
LIONS, C AND C GROUP
EXPECTED TO MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS

Major activities committee
members of the Lions club were
asked to conduct a thorough in
vestigation of the feasibility of
establishing a municipal hospital
here at the clubs luncheon meet
ing at the golf clubhouse Monday
noon.
The committee includes E. J..
Stephany, B. H. Clark, DIR. w. A.
Brand and d. w. Buckley. 1t is
probable that a similar commit
tee from the Civic and Commerce
association will work with them.
Edwin Wells, member of the
board of county commissioners,
was 4 guest of the club and spoke
on the matter, in which he has
been interested for some time.
Wells stated that much business
which might come to the city
through publicly owned hospi-
tai now goes to the Twin Cities
or to competing towns and cited
the case of county relief patients,
many of whom are treated out
side the county at considerable
expense which might be spared if
accommodations were available
nearer home
He also stated that there is
need for a large project for WPA
workers and suggested that the
construction be financed in part
through the federal government.
His view is that the hospital
should be sponsored by the city
rather than the county, question
which Later came in for some dis
cussion among members.
DR.. o. H. Johnson also was a
guest of the club and spoke brief
ly on the attitude of county doc
tors whom he said would rather
bring their patients to- a munich
pal. hospital than take them to
privately owned institutions else
where. He cited examples of such
hospitals which are operating
successfully and growing.
DR.. Brand likewise declared
there is room for such an insti-
tuition here and added that it
would be a major factor in the
growth of the community and in
keeping business at home.
The committees report is to be
study of institutions operating
in similar communities and re-
concentrations based on expert
ences elsewhere.
The club decided to meet Sep
TENDER IL rather than Labor day.
Andy Luscher of Chicago was
also a guest of the club.

By New Route
WINTHROP STAR ROUTE
MAKES FINAL RUN
THIS AFTERNOON

Star mail route service from
Olivia to Redwood Falls will be
inaugurated Friday when the
Winthrop star route, serving the
community for the last time to-
day, will be discontinued.
Postoffice officials here have
received few details of the change,
other than notification that mail
for the city will arrive at Olivia
at 1l:26 a. m. each day.
Delivery of the moon maiP'
will undoubtedly be somewhat
later than at present, for the
Winthrop carrier arrived here at
IL.
What time the Olivia route man
will return here from Hazel Run,
the end of his territory, for pick
up of outgoing mail has not yet
been announced, but it is certain
that the closing time, now p.
m, will be a good deal later.
All mail going west beyond
Hazel Run will be delivered by
star route from Montevideo. I'm
der the system to be discarded to-
morrow registered mail and spec
ial deliveries could be sent from
here as far as Marietta by star
carrier.
Olivia sources report that the
new route will give excellent mail
service between Olivia and towns
along the M and st. L railroad
where it has not previously exist
ed. But Redwood Falls authorities
have received no information that
would indicate what the situation
would be.
Inauguration of the service will
follow discrimination of a fore
noon Minneapolis to Winthrop
mail train on the M and st. L,
and routing of mail on the Mil
waukee line.
The Olivia route will serve Is
towns from Winthrop to Hazel
Run, including Morton, Franklin,
Fairfax, North Redwood and Red
wood Falls.

FURTHER REDUCTIONS
PREDICTED AS NEW
REGULATIONS APPLY

WPA rolls in Redwood county
were reduced by 48 persons this
week and last under the Is
month termination ruling.
''We expect many more cut
offs" said Jean Tucker, head of
the welfare office.
Both men and women were af-
fected by the law which provides
that persons cannot work on WPA
more than 18 consecutive months.
Some county residents taken off
rolls this week had been on since
1896.
Sewing projects at Walnut
Grove and Sanborn were closed
as the reduction took effect. Five
women had been employed at
Walnut Grove, four at Sanborn.
Only seven were left on the Red
wood Falls sewing project.
Discrimination of one or two
units of the countrywide road and
bridge projects was predicted.
Work is going forward in several
units throughout the county.
About 100 men are still at work
on the road, bridge, Memorial
Field stadium, Ramsey state park
and anoberton sidewalk DrOiectS
