Players Lose
at Madison
l PROVES TOO CLEVER
FOR LOCAL GUARD TEAM IN
FRIDAYS GAME. GREEN ISLE
NEXT.

Last Friday evening the Redwood
Guardsmen journeyed to Madison via
Mr.. St. Louis tramway and returned
the same night with their third de-
feat to laugh off. The Madison bas-
keteers played rings around the To-
Gals and the guardsmen can thank the
little old god of luck that they got
eff with a 1925 score. The Co. L
tossers received excellent treatment
at the hands of Co. / and a return
game has been arranged at an early
date.
The local basketeers were very evil
IDENTIFY off their feed during the game
and from the way the plays were
put across the majority of the team
was suffering from rheumatism in
10th legs and the members were
wearing a lead insole in each shoe.
The gang which has showed up as a
rretty fast outfit on the home floor
was rooted to the spot on Madison's
arena and the Co. l quint left them
in the dust. The first half the Red
wood gang took all prizes and led by
a score of 14-1O Most of Redwood's
baskets were made on long shots,
however, and this arrangement could
MT go on forever without something
slipping. The long shot game was
easy to follow and spectacular enough
to make it exciting but aside from
that it was bad business. Madison
had the short pass and the short shot
arrangement and they played safe
game all the time.
The second term RedwOod's luck
took wings and they sunk only three
field goals during the entire half.
Madison, on the other hand, kept on
plugging away at the basket and
working the ball up the floor to easy
shooting position and as result,
nine field goals were chalked up to
tneir credit in this half. The short
passing game finally got the goat of
the local boys and the last part of
the fricasse was a riot. The whole
idea seems to be that as soon as one
man gets the ball he Immediately goes
into a trance and forgets that there
are four other players to whom he
might pass the ball if an emergency

L IN GOOD GAME AT ARMORY
NEW YEARS EVE; SCORE
37-18.

New Years Eve the Redwood Gu
ardsmen tangled with the renowned
Iiedwing Blackbirds and the scalp of
the latter is now hanging in the Red
wood Locker room under the score
27-18. The game was plenty fast and
both teams tried hard but the BRIDES
failed to get going soon enough; that
IS, before the last five minutes Of
play.
The Blackbirds took the lead early
in the first quarter, but found it as
hard to hold as a thousand pound
weight. Donlan and Castle ran wild
throughout the first frame and ran
up II points between them to make
the Redwing tossers feel sad. Ga
asch handed in two counters and Hof-
fert sunk a long field goal during
this round. Carity played his usual
wonderful game all through the tusslc
and there was some talk of allowing
the Blackbirds two extra men to even
things up.
The half was easy to watch from
spectators standpoint because OF
the spectacular way the soldiers had
of spearing the loop from the center
of the floor but as far as real basket
hall is concerned, Redwing had the old
teamwork down pat. Long shots by
the Redwings were as scarce as angle
worms with chilblains. They short
passed the guardsmen to death and
the only reason that can be given for
their not counting more short shots
is the efficient manner in which Buff
and Hank bounded the man with the
ball. The two guards on the Red.
wood outfit are entitled to lot of
credit for the showing which the Gu
ardsmen have made in their past
games.
The second period was nearly as
one sided as the first as far as scor-
ing is concerned. Scotty sunk four
reld goals and free throw and Castle
got pair of deuces and a single
pointer. During the last five minutes
of play Hutch and Runt Lamberton
went in for Gaasch and Hoffert and
Hutch promptly crept off with field
goal. The last quarter was more or
less of failure from a standpoint of

Farmer Buys Sire

M. w. Dennistoun and his father
in-law A. A. Wilson made a trip to
Mankato and Madelia last week ar
irving home Thursday. While al
Madelia Mr.. Dennistoun purchased a
fine yearling sire as an addition to
his herd of Shorthorn. This herd is
in every sense now fine herd, con-
sisting of twenty-five purebred Short
horn females all of Mr.. Dennistoun's s
own raising with the exception of
two. The story of the growth of this
herd, as told by Mr.. Dennistoun, is
an exceedingly interesting one. Twen-
ty-two years ago he paid one hum
dred dollars for cow and calf of
good breeding, members of his family
and certain of his friends seeing in
this wild and extravagant expendi-
ture of money the first step in the
trip which was to land "Malc" in the
county home. 1t hasn't and he amt:
Irstead he realizes that was the wis
est expenditure of hundred dollars
that he ever made and his advice to
the young farmer who is anxious to
start a purebred herd is to do with
only one cow for a starter if funds
are limited, but to be sure that cow
is a REAL one Mr.. Dennistoun is
also disposed to be caustic when he
is told by advocates of other breeds
that Shorthorns are no mixers. He
states that he has in mis- herd cows
that regularly produce from 40 to 45
pounds of milk when they are on
a-f,
with the butter content of that milk,
either. Redwood County boasts a
number of good Shorthorn herds and
certainly Mr.. Dennistoun's is not the
least of these.

MINNEAPOLIS JUVENILE JUDGE
DISTINCTLY APPROVES OF

in LETTER TO JOURNAL.

Judge Edward F. Waite, for many

over his signature in the following
letter to the Minneapolis Journal. The

Judge Waite refers in the opening
sentence of his letter appears on Page
2 of this issue of the Gazette.
To the Editor of the Journal:

Ny Countrynen:

MY COunLrymen:
No one can contemplate current
conditions without finding much
that is satisfying and still more
that is encouraging. Our own
country is leading the world in the
general readiustment to the results
of the great Conflict. Many of it's
burdens will bear heavily upon US
for years, and the secondary and
indirect effects we must expect to
experience for some time. But we
are beginning to comprehend more
definitely what course should be
pursued, what remedies ought to
be applied, what actions should be
taken for our deliverance, and are
clearly manifesting a determined
will faithfully and conscientiously
to adopt these methods Of relief.
Already we have sufficiently re-
arranged our domestic affairs so
that confidence has returned, bust
ness has revived, and we appear
to be entering an era Of prosperity
which is gradually reaching into
every part of the Nation. Realiz-
ing that we can not live unto our
selves alone, we have contributed
of our resources and our counsel
to the relief Of the suffering and
the settlement Of the disputes
among the European nations. Be-
cause of what America Is and
what America has done, a firmer
courage, a higher hope, inspires
the heart of all humanity.
Not BY Mere Chance.
These results have not occurred
by mere chance. They have been
secured by a constant and en-
lightened effort marked by many
sacrifices and extending over many
generations. We can not continue
these brilliant successes in the FIJI
ture, unless we continue to learn
from the past. It Is necessary to
keep the former experiences of our
country both at home and abroad
continually before us, IL we are to
have any science of government.
If we wish to erect new struc-
lures. we must have a definite
knowledge Of the old foundations.
We must realize that human ma
ture is about the most constant
thing in the universe and that the
essentials of human relationship
do not change. We must fire.
quently take our bearings from
these fixed stars Of our political
armament II we expect to hold a
true course. If we examine care
fully what we have done, we can
determine the more accurately
what we can do.

DAWES IS GIVEN
OATH Of HIGH
OFFICE
New Vice President Sworn i'm
Just After Noon Hour by
Senator Cummins

Charles Gates Dawes, of Evanston,
ILL.,, this afternoon was inaugurated
Vice President Of the United States.
Standing on the rostrum where for
the next four years he will preside
over the Senate, Dawes was admin
istered the oath by Senator Cummins
(Rep) of Iiwa, retiring president pro-
tenn. Cummins had occupied the
chair since the elevation of President
Coolidge to the White House in
August. 1928.
The brief ceremonies in the Sen
ate were in strictest accord with
the entire unpretentious inaugural
program.
A distinguished company, includ-
ing President Coolidge and all the
high officials Of the Government,
witnessed Dawes Inauguration.
Packed With NOtabIes
On the floor, besides the Presi-
dent, were members of the Supreme
Court Of the United States. the
Senate and House, the Cabinet, the
diplomatic corps, the chief Of staff
OF the army, the chief Of naval
operations and the commandant OF
the marine corps. Many foreign
ambassadors and ministers wore
heavily gold-braided uniforms, q
flood OF color against the black
robes of the Supreme Court.
AS soon as he had taken the
oath. Dawes assumed the chair, and
after prayer by the chaplain, de-
livered a brief address. He then
read the presidential proclamation
calling the Senate into extraorli
nary session. This marked the end
Of the Sixty-eighth and the begin
ming Of the Sixty-ninth Senate.
Senators-elect, new and old, then
marched to the well of the Senate
and were administered the oath by
Dawes.
The Senate chamber had been
greatly transformed for the cere'
monies. Replacing the easy arm
chairs were stiff backed, cane-bot'
toned chairs placed upon every
available spot Of the floor. Nh
The House was the first to arrive
In the chamber for the ceremonies.
A hush fell over the audience,
which for hours ahead had waited

deputy doorkeeper, appeared in the
center door and announced:

Members of the House filed in
behind Speaker Gillett and took
seats on the Democratic side of the
allies. Loeffler appeared again. This
time he announced the "ambassa-
doris extraordinary, ministers pleni-
potentiary, and charges d'affairs Of

Mrs. Coolidge Sets
Spring Style With
Her New Gown

When Grace Coolidge rode
down Pennsylvania avenue with
her distinguished husband, she
probably started a. rush upon
modistes and dressnakers that
will last for several days.
All because the First Lady's
inaugural costume represented
the ultra-ultra in the latest
style:
Her dress was fashioned Of
"Joseena.'' It's color was
"moonstone."
For the benefit of the novi-
tiate, "Joseena" is a new cloth,
something Of a cross between
Duvetyne and Kasha cloth, with
a dull finish.
Also, "moonstone" is the
latest color to be evolved by
those who prognosticate the
fashions. It is a gray, some
what darker than pearl, and
with a warmer appearance.
The costume was an "enSen-
ble," with a bodice of crepe de
chine, and a collar of gray fox
on the coat. Silver embroidery
embellished the coat from Shout
der to hem.
Mrs. Coolidge's hat was a
modish spring model of straw,
high crown and dropping, mar
row brim, with a burnt-goose
band.
Gray slippers completed the
outfit. ~
