This is the land Of the hooking bird

whom this city is named, was foreman
of a section gang when the Southern Pa

section gang and settled here. Two
shacks erected by Pat marked the begin

Crowley is not an sll-South town by
any means. The residents hail from
many parts of the country and the negro
population is small compared with other
sections Of Dixieland.
The Crowley boosters do not ask much

requesting that visitors say good word

CROWLEY, La, March S-The work
out program was resumed today in the
spring camp Of the Indians and the in
felders were given special attention by
Manager Hendricks. The Hoosiers are
to be sent against the st. Louis Cardinals
here Thursday and the Tribe boss is
anxious that his team stack up in
creditable manner. He is becoming en-

already has made good.

Giant officials at San Antonio requested
that he be left there two additional days.
Manager Hendricks interprets this as
sign that Dixon has been showing some
thing worth while and he Is anxious to
get glimpse Of the youth in action.
In the opening game Of the spring
training season the Magnolias defeated
the Mocking Birds Monday, to 8. The
hits were about evenly divided. but the
fielding Of the Magnolias was superb and
they were easily superior in the seven in

ously injured and had a wonderful
escape from death in an auto accid-

His car broke thru the railing of
a bridge and plunged to the creek
below. The car somersaulted as it
fell, which threw Hersom out and
saved him from being crushed under
it as it fell into the water fifteen
feet below. Passersby took Hersom
to his home and the car was left in
the creek, creating wild rumors that
several people were buried under the
machine. Hersom is expected to re-
cover.

The University of Dubuque track
team cleaned on Luther Al to 81 at
Dubuque on Saturday. The meet was
far from being as discouraging as
might have been the case. The team
is inexperienced in racing and lack
the technical knowledge which prac-
tice will give them and which often
means the difference between win
and loose. Hook and Rugland
showed up well in the racing, al
though Hook is bothered with a
sprained ankle which handicaps him
on the final squirt. Rindahl won 10
points for Luther and was high man.
In the discus he won first with
throw of ITO #. in. with Rug
land second on los feet. The Uni
versity record is 104 feet, made by
Sol Butler in 1917. The throw was
II feet longer than Rindahl's best
previous record. Rindahl won first in
the shot put, heaving the l6 pound
weight SO feet 8 inches, 2 feet better
than his best previous mark. In the
high jump Hjelle was still going
strong when his opposing man kick
ed the bar off at feet seven inches.
Hjelle is most promising man on
the high jump. If anyone is skep-
teal about what jump of feet Z
inches means, let him size up the
average man on the street and then
try to clear him without hurting
either his own feet or his victims
head.

DISABLED SOLDIERS WEEK
Governors Seven States Have En-
dorsed 1t, Beginning May 20.

The American people would never
have begrudged any amount necess-
AIRY to care for disabled soldiers. Any
kind of popular assembly would
have voted all necessary appropria-
tons with a whoop. But it is not
easy to get prompt action out of the
government.
The job of caring for these men
proved far greater than was antici-
pated, and it has involved many
puzzling problems. So there have
been many complaints that a large
number of them, who deserve such
warm and affectionate interest have
not had the attention that is due
them, iand have suffered much
from this neglect.
The hearts of the people were con-
centrated on the soldiers as long as
the fighting went on, and one could
hardly think of anything else. But
when the last gun was fired and the
flags were furled, the tendency was
strong for the public to forget them.
Many pressing problems demanded
attention, and public sentiment failed
to spur on the government to cut
red tape and get things done prompt
ly. The government seems to realize
the necessity of prompt action now,
and congress should pass what legis-
lation is needed without delay.
To arouse interest in this cause,
disabled soldiers week., has been
appointed, beginning May 20. Cover
nors of seven states have endorsed it.
The people of every locality should
take the occasion to inquire how the
disabled men of their own locality
have Jared. Those who live near the
hospitals and schools and homes where
these men are, should take all pos
sible pains for their benefit, to see
that they are getting the care that
they need, and to help provide for
any wants they may feel.
1t is hoped that all the men who
went from Iowa are being well
looked after, and public attention
should be called to any case in
which help is called for. These men
are our heroes, and should be shown
that the public regards them with
honor and gratitude.
