OFFICERS ENDORSE
INSURANCE PLAN
LEGIONNAIRES AND OTHER EX-
SERVICE MEN URGED TO RE-
INSURE WITH GOVERNMENT
BEFORE JULY IND.

One million dollars worth of Gov
ernment Insurance was taken out by
Minnesota veterans of the World War
during the first six weeks in 1927.
The dependents of these ex-service
men and the State are thus made ST.
600, 900 richer than before this action
was taken.
E. L. Spencer, commander of the
local post of the American Legion,
together with Glenn. r. Hillig, adult
ant and Lee Winter, service officer,
endorse this insurance offered by the
Government as the cheapest and best
available to service men. They are
urging all ex-service men to investi-
gate their rights to this insurance and
are advising them to take out all Of
it they can conveniently carry.
The Governments offer to insur-
ance to all former service men of the
World War win expire on July End
of this year. There is, therefore, rea-
son why every service man should in
vestigate the matter Immediately and
take such action as his investigation
proves he should take.
Legionnaires are advised to ask
their American Legion officers for as
sistance or to write to the u. s. Vet
Grams Bureau, Minneapolis, Mimi.

LEONA SCHMEISINC
MADE ALTERNATE
in j. S. 4H GROUP
REDWOOD COUNTY GIRL HON.
ORED BY MENTION AS ONE OF
NATIONAL All CLUB CAMP AT
WASHINGTON. D. C.

One Of the new features of the boys
and girls club work for 1927 will be
a National All Club Camp conduct
ed at Washington, D. c., on the
grounds of the Capitol, where four of
the highest scoring leadership club
members from each state in the un-
ion will be represented.
In the State of Minnesota the ex-
penses of these members are being
paid by the boys and girls club men,
bers themselves. Personal contribu-
tions, also club contributions from
various clubs throughout the state,
have been flowing into the state
treasury for this purpose. Redwood
County has done its share along this
line.
Announcements have just been
made public as to the personnel of
the high scoring leaders from Mimi
esota to attend this camp during the
week of June 10th. Leona Schmeis-
ing Of Lucan, one of the twenty-one
leadership members in Redwood Coun-
ty last year, has been chosen by the
state committee as alternate which
means that she is the third highest
girl scoring leadership member in
the State of Minnesota. Two of the
delegates from the State of Mime
sofa are to be two boys and two girls.
In case that either of the two girls sell
ected are unable to attend this great
national camp, Leona will be the one
who will receive this trip.
We do not wish for any of the ones
selected i'll fate that would make it
impossible for than to attend the ma
tional camp but it is certainly consid-
cred a great honor even to be appoint
ed as alternate in contest of this
nature and Leona is to be congratu-
lated on this appointment.
There are fifteen members enroll
ed thus far for the Leadership work
for 1927 and undoubtedly there will
be naanys more before the enrolment
closes.-Lynn Sheldon, County Agent.

''ST0P" CROSSING
LAW IS DISCUSSED
TO LESSEN TRAFFIC DELAYS,
INCREASE RESPECT FOR LAW,
PROMOTE SAFETY, is AIM OF
LAW DEFINITELY STATED.

"Stop" should mean stop" definite
ly and for everybody, otherwise stop
signs at crossings are of little value,
was the consensus of opinion at a
conference of members of the State
Railroad and Warehouse commission,
officials of the State Highway de-
partment and railroad officials held
last week.
That large percentage of motor
lists disobey the law requiring stops
at designated crossings is well known,
and the commission listened to sug-
gestions intended to remedy this situ-
alton. 1t was recognized that each
crossing presents a separate problem
and the commission plans to make a
resurvey and to order changes where
they are found advisable. 1t was
pointed out that there is both an
economic loss and an invitation to
disregard of law when several thous-
and vehicles are compelled to stop at
a crossing where perhaps there are
only half dozen or dozen trains
day. The most frequent violators.
it was stated, are people living near
the crossing who are familiar with
the train schedules and who do not
like to be compelled to stop when
they think no train is due.
To lessen traffic delays, increase
respect for the law, and promote pub
lie safety, the following suggestions
were considered and will be applied
as conditions warrant:

COMMUNITY ADV PLAN
DIsAPPROyED BY GAZETTE

Once again, for about the
sixteenth time, the Gazette has
been approached with a Com
munity- Building Adve rtising
scheme, and in accordance with
its usual policy, has flatly re-
fused to handle the project. On
the face of the thing the scheme
is not meritorious. The pub
Usher gets more than his regu-
lar rate for his advertising
which is unfair to his constitu-
ents. In addition the outsider
who comes in to put across the
project, carries out of town a
considerable sum for the work he
has done in selling the advertis-
ing. The advertising is in most
instances Of too general ma
ture to really benefit the adver-
tiser. In the long run both ad-
vertiser and publisher pay the
penalty only the promoter pro-
fits. This form of advertising
is frowned upon by many re-
putable newspapers throughout
the state.

STATES FUNDS FRIDAY
ARE SECOND IN HISTORY

According to the statement
of State Treasurer julius A.
Schmahl, Minnesota had more
money in her Treasury last
Friday than at any time except
one in the entire history of the
State. Cash on hand at the
beginning of business Friday
morning amounted to $l4,211,-
511.91. This will be increased
approximately $4,00O,00O before
the end of the fiscal year. ac-
cording to Mr.. Schmahl. This
increase will be due to the pay
ment of taxes June 1st, and iron
ore royalties. The fiscal year
ends June 30th. The one excep-
ton when the States balance
was larger than last Friday was
after $4,000, 900 in iron ore oc-
cupation taxes were dumped in
to the treasury suddenly after
long litigation. Mr.. Schmahl
estimates that approximately
$4,000, 900 will be expended by
the State between now and June
30th.

DIR. ROSS REVIEWS
BOOK TUESDAY EVE.
LOCAL CLERGYMAN OPPOSES
IDEAL OF CHRIST EXPRESSED
BY BARTON IN ''THE MAN
NOBODY KNOWS"

The review of Bruce Barton's book,
''The Man Nobody Knows" by DR..
A. w. Ross, was the chief feature of
the Westminster Guild meeting at the
Presbyterian church Tuesday evening
ing. The program followed the BAN
quet served at six o'clock in recog-
milton of this being the annual meet
ing of the organization. At the busi-
ness meeting held before DR.. Ross
talk, Mrs. Frank Baldwin was re-
elected president, Mrs. R. v. Ochs was
made vice president, Miss Norma
Stensvad secretary and Miss Theo
Jensen treasurer. Mrs. A. P. Falk
was elected the Guilds delegate to
the Presbyterian convention at Blue
Earth with Mrs. Gus. Nelson her al
ternate.
DR.. Ross started his analysis of the
book by stating that the title itself
was contradiction since Barton
proved throughout his writing that
he himself does not know the Christ
of whom he writes, and therefore his
book concerning this Christ has not
made the reading public better ac-
quainted with Him. On the score of
this contradiction the speaker diverg-
ed widely from the fulsome praise
which has been given this book by
its reviewers of the liberalist school
"It seems" said DR.. Ross, that they
prefer Jesus of human emotion and
speculation to the Jesus who is clear

But Remus always talked for

Plans Of a band OF tropical rum
runners plying between Cuba,

here today.
Florida East coast rum-runners
found it impossible lately to SNUG
gle their winter supply of Cuban

States via Florida because OF the
presence of Federal planes, revenue
cutters. and land forces.
Learning that a foreign govern
ment had a econd-hand sub

ure. rum runners chipped-in and
purchased the craft.
Long shadows of coral reefs
around the peninsula made 1t inn
possible to bring a cargo Of liquor
to American shores except through
one break in the reef. which was
being continually patrolled by sew
eral prohibition planes and a coast
guard cutter. Danger of running
around forced the submarine to
return to Bimini. where it has

says he win tell the jury a straight
