Since 1922 Greater than
Growth in Population.

The Department of Commerce
makes the following announcement
for the State of Minnesota concern
ing results of the 1927 census Of
feeble-minded and epileptics in state
institutions, covering the State School
for Predetermined and the State Col
ony for Epileptics.
These two institutions had a total
of 263 first admissions during the
year 1927, as compared with 200 in
1926, and 1877 in 1922.
These first admissions represent
patients received during the year, who
had not previously been under treat
ment in any institution for feeble
minded and epileptics. Such newly
admitted patients afford the best
available measure of the number OF
new casss which are brought under
institutional care during the year.

RUM RUNNER PAYS
fine; LOSES LOAD
Gets Drunk on Own Liquor; !;
Arrested; Load Hijacked;
Is Fined $127.OO.

Because an alcohol runner made
the foolish mistake of getting drunk
on his own liquor in Redwood coun-
ty and because of the vigilance of the
local authorities one Gene Tripp of
Minneapolis was forced to pay the
county $127.00 in fines.
Tripp was arrested last Friday
night on the streets of Redwood
Falls on a complaint filed by both
restaurants in which he was alleged
to have ordered food, refusing to pay
after ordering. Tripp spent the night
in Jail, also Saturday night and Sum-
day night.
In the mean time Sheriff Kise and
County Attorney Brown questioned
Tripp as to the whereabouts of his
auto and load of booze that he was
alleged to have had. The third-de-
greers found that their willy visitors
answers were irreconcilable and in
the form of investigation it was
found that Tripp had been going
through with load, some twenty gal
Ions of alcohol.
As soon as the complaint had been
turned in Friday night for the ar
rest of Tripp, his accomplice made
away with the car but, according to
authorities, without the alcohol. His
car is supposed to have been robbed

quantities. We have several others
too, but not so large or so luxuriant.
They are as cheap as dirt, can get a
lovely bush for so sen with three or
four roses on it and good bush. l
bought a pink one, then we got a
perfectly exquisite one for yen.
About a dozen buds and the lovliest
creamy white with deeper yellow
centers. We went to a place Satur-
day where they grow these lovely
roses, with hundreds of blossoms on
some of the bushes. Of course they
raise them to sell and we couldn't re-
sist buying one of the smaller plants,
they wouldn't sell the bigger ones
because they use them for grating
slips.
Thursday we had Fujin kdai. We
are getting the things ready for our
bazaar. We need many more things
and we are working on them very
hard. Some of the women are quite
clever about machine work and they
all seem to take real responsibility
in getting enough articles made TO,
it.
"Friday we got ready for some
guests. The regikwai (trustees meet
ing) of Chime (boys school) was be.
ing held in DR.. Tayama's home here

hot but rain almost all Of the time
We are still working hard for tht
bazaar. Tie girls have not made 81

the women have more time and are
more skillful at sewing.
"Friday I had little party for tht
little girls club. We played some
games and made animals out Of po.
tatoes and matches. We had sand.
wiches, cake and orange-ade. Ths
girls seemed to have had fine time
"My English classes are picking
up. l think the girls have more time
after school than they had before
Now my Wednesdays are quite full
