ANNUAL MEETING HELD; L. E.
BACKER TAKES ]. F. CONNER'S
PLACE AS SEC; PER CENT
DIVIDEND DECLARED.

With fifty-nine of it's two hundred
stockholders present, the Scenic City
Cooperative Oil Company held its
first annual meeting at the courthouse
Monday afternoon. The same BOARD
of Directors was reelected with the
exception of w. M. Simondet who
takes the place of ]. F. Conner, re-
signed. The organization of the
Board resulted in the reelection of C.
d. Cipfell as president of the Com
pany, the election of L. E. Backer as
secretary and the reelection of DR.
w. A. Brand as vice president and A.
M. Dennistoun treasurer. The othez
two members of the Board of seven
are C. HI. Huhnefkoch and L. Linde-
man.
A four per cent dividend was de-
clared upon all stock paid for and of
record December 1st. This is tbs.
equal of an eight per cent annual di-
vidend since the Company has been in
operation only since August 10Th.
Although organized in the spring the
first sale was not made until at the
later date and the business records
are made from that time.
Since that time the Company has
shipped in $4,000 gallons of gasoline,
kersene and distillate and it's total
sales amount to 13,823.51. The report
of the Company as of December 31st
shows net profit on invested capital
of 18 per cent and the Company's as
sets are given as -$12,820.62.
In spite of the ''late start which
the Company got, officers and stock
holders feel well satisfied with the
amount of business done by the COM
pany and are much encouraged over
the future prospects. The profit
sharing and cooperative feature of
the stock appeals to the user of fuel,
and lubricants and the sale of much
additional stock is anticipated for the
opening of spring.

Morton Loses,
Tracy Wins in
Weeks Games
MORTON DEFEATED FOURTEEN
TO SIX IN FAST GAME; TRACY
OyERCOMES LEAD AND WINS
FIFTEEN TO FOURTEEN.
(By Wild Rice)

Tuesday evening at Morton saw
the Cardinals, rejuvenated, fighting
bunch of basketeers, five of them,
soundly administer a whalloping SUI
preme at the expense of her old and
timely rivals the Braves of Morton.
The Cardinals put up a wonderful ex-
hibition of the hoop game, fighting
gevery second of the play.
Cooped in on Morton's miniature
basket floor the local lads were handi-
capped the first half and Morton en-
erged from the fray 5 to A winner.
Suffice it to say that the Cardinals
defense was tighter than a rain soak
ed barrel and Morton secured her
two field presents by the long route.
Capt. Englund and Corbett secured the
field baskets for the local hoopsters.
The second half of the fray saw
Morton held to one measly free shot
while the Cardinals slipped over five
field baskets, COrbett sticking the
hoop for four baskets and Manning

The Tracy Game.
Friday noon the Cardinals left for
Tracy on a fifty mile snow fight.
Successfully negotiating the journey
the warriors engaged Tracy in an ex-
hibition of basket ball going down to
defeat by Is to IA score in the last
minute of frolic Be it said here that
the local hoopsters put up the best
game of basket ball, fighting to the
last second, that the crew has put or
this year. Playing a powerful floor
game, handicapped by the Tracy
oheesebox gymnasium, the warriors
battled every second.
Hosken looped the oval for four
field goals, Corbett one, Manning one
and Englund one. With three min
utes left to play Redwood was lead
ing nicely when Tracy enjoyed d
squirt and, swish, the gun ended the
battle with Redwood one point be-
hind.
Tracy will meet Redwood here Feb
ruary 20 and the local lads promise a
barrage of shots for the Cardinals
and in the meantime will hold Tracy
to whiff. A Whit in the lexicon OF
the Cardinals means little or nothing.

LARGE AUDIENCE SEES CLEVER
PRESENTATION OF COMEDY
BY GIRLS CLUB FRIDAY EVE.
MING.

Last Friday evening the Catholic
Girls Club entertained large audi
ence in the armory by their presenta-
ton of the three act comedy, "Miss
Fearless and Company" The cast
of ten girls was picked from the ranks
of the Club, and the production was
directed by Miss Mcbride, who also
took the part of Katie O'Connor, the
Irish maid.
Margaret Henley, miss Fearless"
was played by Elizabeth Bomelyn, and
the Interpretation of the part was
one of the features of the snow. Miss
Fearless was depicted as young wo-
man of strong character, an active
brain and ripping humor, and.the
manner in which Miss Bomelyn por-
trayed the character was truly de-
lightful
Miss Euphemia Addison, the elder
ly spinster with an affinity for the
males of the species, was played by
Miss Lucie GIFTS, and was possibly the
most popular character sketch in the
play. Miss Addison was victim OF
what she liked to suppose was her
nervous temperament, and her chief
role was one of hysteria and what
she termed patient suffering" Miss
GIFTS remarkable voice control enabled
her to present this queer personality
with wonderful success.
Sarah Jane Lovejoy, the agrariar
friend of Miss Henley, played by Miss
Agnes Trembly, was typical speci-
men of kindly, old fashioned friend

saw the true state of affairs and the
unwise attitude the girls were taking
in separating themselves from their
sweethearts, and with an infallible
knowledge of human nature she set
about to make things right. Miss
Trembly was well fitted to take part
of this type, and her presentation OF
it was extremely pleasing.
The three other members of the
company of Miss Fearless, Barbara
Livingstone, Marion Reynolds and
Bette Cameron, were played By
Zerelda Schmid, Florence Zehetner
and Lenore Kolbet. That each of
these young ladies has had consider
able experience-in amateur produc-
tions was evident from her perform
anee of Friday evening.
Katie O'Connor, the Irish maid to
Miss Henley, was the most unique
character sketch of the comedy. Miss
Mcbride, who took the part, played a
doubly difficult role, as she directed
the play while taking part in it. Miss
McBride's brougue was as broad as
the County Down, and from actions it
NAV be Judged that she has observed

Soldier Boys
Thank Red
Cross for Gifts
COUNTY STILL LACKS ONE HUN
DRED OF DESIRED MEMBER
SHIP OF ONE THOUSAND;MANY
GIVEN CHRISTMAS CHEER.

At Christmas time the Redwood
County Red Cross Chapter sent &
large number of Christmas boxes to
soldiers who were forced to spend
Christmas in foreign ports. Since
that time Miss F. Lucille Joscelyn,
the Red Cross Executive Secretary,
has received large number of letters
and cards from the men thus remem
bered, each of them conveying mes
sage of gratitude for the gift and
each of them full of the homcsickness
which can only come to one who is
away from home and friends on
Christmas.
These letters come from various
ports in the PHILIPPINE Islands and
practically all of them speak of the
strangeness of spending Christmas
in land flooded with hot sunshine.
One lad devoutIy thanks God that he
is to return to the United States and
civilization in June of 1925. Another,
a member of the United States Medi-
cal Department is extremely grateful
for 'kind remembrances which went
far toward bringing the real Christ
mas spirit to us in place from
which all traditional appurtances are
missing"
This is just one of several fine
things done by the Red Cross during
the recent holiday season. In CO.
operation with the churches and the
Junior Red Cross the County Chapter
remembered thirty-nine families, one
hundred children were given toys and
treats and any number of old people,
bedridden grown-ups and children,
and crippled children were remember
ed in various pleasant and thought
full ways.
The present membership of the
County Chapter is only 9O3. While
this is an increase of 124 over the 1928
membership it is still far below what
it should be. The aim set for the
1924 Roll Call was a thousand menu
bers and it is not yet too late for the
one hundred tardy ones to get into
line.

GAME OF NEXT THURSDAY
EVENING PROMISES MANY
THRILLS TO LOVERS OF BAS-
KET BALL; DAWSON LICKED.

Last Tuesday evening the Redwood
Guardsmen lectured to the Company
X tossers from Dawson, on the Red
wood Armory floor. The subject OF
the lecture was Basket Ball, and how
it should be played" Company L and
Company K had had a debate on the
same subject on the Dawson floor at
an earlier date, and the decision had
been unanimously given TO the purple
and gold tossers, which fact rendered
Tuesday nights contest even more of
battle. The lecture was illustrat-
ed by all five members of the Com,
,pany L debating team, with DonIon,
Hoffert, and Bobzin bringing out the
points with unusual emphasis. The
crowd which watched the tussle was
smaller than usual, owing to the late
ness of the hour, as the game did not
start until $50, in order that Hank
and the Morton fans might get up
from Morton, where the High School
quint was engaged in instructing the
Mortonites.
During the first quarter, and in
fact, up to the last few minutes OF
play, it looked as though the Redwood
illustrated lecture might become re-.
dundant, as the Company X quint had
an uncanny habit of rolling in points
just as the local soldiers were paus-
ing to illustrate suggestion. Dur
ing the first quarter the Dawsonites
took the pill and bodily threw it
through the loop four times, while
Hutch, by sneaking down the floor
within shooting distance, was able to
snare single field goal. The second
quarter, however, the soldiers got GO
ing and made eight points to the Daw-
son count of three. Business began

ROTOR SHIP SEEN IN CHARLES RIVER
Two Naval Officers Experiment
 With Graft

Cambridge, Mass. June 2S--tPl-- In an abandoned navy cutter with apparatus mainly assembled from discarded materials, two young nav al officers yesterday sailed the first American rotor boat on the Charles River here. The boat was designed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Lieutenant Joseph Nj. kiernan, U, s. N. and Lieutenant W. W. Hastings, II. s, N. who arc completing two year course in naval architecture there.
 For some time the United States Army has been studying the, effect on aircraft of tho Mssnus theory Of air pressures, which is applied to the rotor ship. These figures were made available to the officers. Six months ago tho German. Flettner, operated the first rotor ship.
 The naval officers have altered his design in two respects. Believing that two rotor cycinders were de- trimental to each others action, they built but one on their boat, and, where Flettner had his base and disk top revolve with the rotor the Americans have made both stationary.
 While no speed record was kept yesterday 1t was estimated that the boat made about three knots an hour in a Emile wind, The navy cutter is about S5 feet long, eight feet in width and of heavy construc- tion. The rotor mast is three and one half feet in diameter and nine and one half feet high. A five horse power motor drives the rotor.
 The designers say that whereas 1t would require the generation of ten horsepower to drive a boat of this size six miles an hour by propeller. the rotor in a 15-mile wind, can drive it seven miles an hour with only one and a half horsepower.
 Yesterday was merely a prelimi- nary test to determine whether the boat was free from mechanical de- fleets. Further tests will be made.

 Sir Josiah expressed serious doubts of the continued successful working of the Dawes plan. He de- clared the time has come for seri- ous study to be given the situation. The chief difficulties, he said, were the labor problem involved in the production of goods for separations and the ruinous competition as a result of the import of goods into receiving countries without export to offset them.
