Widowed Mothers Staked Boy With
Last $135

Chicago.-Up in Toronto a few
months ago an i'll and widowed moth
er, just out of a hospital, took her
remaining savings $135-and gave
it to her 17-year-old son with the adj
monition, Don't fail-whatever you
start, finish"
Today the son, George Young, the
boy who won the Catalina channel
derby, demonstrated that he had
needed his mothers advice and had
not only finished, but had finished
first and won $4,000. Part of the
money will go to. take the widowed
mother to California, where she may
regain her health. .aa
That is the plan of the boy who
made the trip to California from his
home on a wheezy old motorcycle be-
cause he had not the funds for train
fare. The story was told Sunday by
Mrs. Ruth Gray, a friend of the
YOungs, at whose home he stopped
here while on his way to the coast.
The boy told Mrs. Gray, she said,
that he couldn't lose because ne
needed the money to help his mother
and she believed he would win.
George was known as "The Big Fish"
in the Georgia bay colony, where he
grew up, because of his extraordinary
exploits in the water. Some time
ago his father died and his mother
worked as a cook in tourist camps.
but her health failed.
George, Mrs. Gray said, decided To
win the Catalina island swim as 500.
as it was announced. With the S135
he bought an old motorcycle When
he got to Chicago he appealed to
William Wrigley Jr. for aid. Mr..
Wrigley explained that he could not
aid him without aiding the other
swimmers, so with his cousin he start
ed for California on the motorcycle.
Attempts to arouse interest and OBJ
tain help en- route were futile, ac-
cording to the infrequent word Mrs.
Gray had from Young and his cousin.
Delays were numerous, for the old
motorcycle needed lots of coaxing
But they made it and George finish
ed what he started and finished first
And now, said Mrs. Gray, he'll 90
back to school, because he was in
school and didn't finish-and George
finishes what he starts"

ANTELOPE HIGH WINS
FROM CULBERTSON

The Antelope High School basket
ball team won an easy victory over
Culbertson Friday, January 18th. The
Culbertson team displayed good floor
work but were unable to penetrate
the Antelope defense. However the
Antelope quintet didn't show the snap
and drive on the offense that it
usually displays. They were evidently
saving themselves for the game Sat
urday night at Bainville. Much stiff
er competition is expected at Balm
vile as Bainville so far is undefeat-
ed this season.

The Antelope team again added an
other victory to their long string of
triumphs this season when they won
over Bainville by score of 81 to 9
Saturday, January 18th in one of the
fastest games played this year. The
game was much better than the score
would indicate. The Bainville boys
fought gamely until the whistle blew.
Antelope displayed the best team
work shown this year. Romo was
the outstanding player for Bainville.
No one player featured on the Ante
lope team, but each player functioned

Christmas Land
By MINNA IRVING
In Family Herald and Star

NH, CHRISTMAS LAND is not SO far,
" It's just across the hall
Within the little living room
Where holly decks the wall.
Right in the middle stands tres
With crimson tinsel gay,
And strange and wondrous 10 the frui.
II bears on Christmas Day.
An spple and an orange grow
Upon the same green bough,
A wagon and rocking horse.
A sled and spotted cow;
And nuts and sparkling sugar plums,
And drums and skates and horns,
And dolls with faxen tresses drop
Like pears on windy morns.
But only little boys and girls
That always mind at school
And know their daily lessons weH,
And try to keep each rule,
And say their prayers both morn and night,
Can hope TO join the band
OF happy children round the tree
That grows in Christmas Land.

ignation of the city does not please
the various candidates and this point
is kept in view in all discussions.
The controversy over the powers
of Senate committees to continue
when funds are refused continues
without prospect of settlement. The
so-called Reed Investigating Commit
tee, conducting inquiries in primary
expenditures in Pennsylvania, Illinois
and Indiana, wants to extend its ac-
tivities.
Attention has been called to the
special message of President Coolidge
sent to Congress, April 8, 1924, in
which he made an emphatic protest
against unrestrained inquiries by the
legislative branch. The claim is
made that these Investigations are
usually marked by vague unformu-
lated and indefinite charges" In
other words, protest is made against
the acceptance of rumor and suspicion
by congressional committee without
the safeguards usually offered in
court proceedings.
While interest in Mexican matters
has lessened, attention is now turning
to disarmament problems. The auth
orization given by Congress to build
three battle cruisers indicates that
sentiment is growing for a more pow
erful navy, and that the other nations
of the world are unbending slightly
1t is said that foreign nations, fear
competitive building in naval arament
because of the enormous resources of
the United States. The difficulty in
international negotiations is to find an
acceptable basis for limiting naval
construction. The observers of for
eign governments in this country are
keeping close tabs on public senti-
ment and upon the actual work under
taken by the American Navy.
In well informed circles of official
Washington considerable amusement
is derived from the pilgrimages of
self-styled political seers" who visit
7 S@1 White House. Partisan advocates
flock to the executive offices like the
court sycophants of old and then seek
out the newspaper correspondents to
obtain personal publicity as to what
told the President Few, however,
| can claim that the President COM
mented upon these flattering state
| ments. On the surface, at least, ev-
| eryone is concerned about the cam
paign, but the present occupant of

Exporting Alfalfa.
Alberta, the Canadian province, this
year is experimenting with the bus
mess of selling alfalfa to farmers in
Denmark. Danish buyers are re-
ported to have ordered fifty thousand
pounds Grimm alfalfa seed from the
Alberta growers, this quantity repre-
senting about one-tenth of the entire
alfalfa seed production of Alberta.
The transactions are being carried
on, partly through representatives of
the Canadian department of agricul-
ture in Copenhagen, and partly
through representatives of Danish
buyers organizations who have gone
to Edmonton in order to close the
deals.
