expressed of the American Legion
and its Auxiliary in a recent mes
sage read over WCCO by department
adjutant Edwin L. Lindell.
''These veterans of the world war
have built a Woodworking, high
spirited, patriotic and practical organ
ization in the ten years since the
great conflict. AS they enter their
second decade dedicated to comrade-
ship and service to community, state
and nation, it is my hope that they
will be successful in their efforts to

the Legion he increases his capacity
for patriotic endeavor. Through it
he continues to serve.
"It is recognized that the most i'm

half of the disabled veterans and the
orphans of veterans. Here these or
CARNATIONS have done a noble work,

SPRINGFIELD MEN
DRAW JAIL TERMS
Were Taken in Raids at Spring
field in September and
October

Three of the Springfield soft drink
parlor proprietors who were arrested
in the federal raids conducted at
Springfield in September and Octo-
Der, appeared before Judge Cant in
the U. S. district court ap st. Paul,
Tuesday and entered pleas of guilty.
M. Randall was charged with selling
intoxicating liquor potable as bev-
erage, contrary to the provisions of
the Volstead law. There were two
charges against him, both alleging
unlawful sales, and the court gave
him three months on each charge.
The Jail terms are to run consecutive
ly, so the imprisonment will be for
six months. The court ordered him
taken to the Sibley county Jail at
Gaylord to sit out the sentence. No
fine was imposed on Randall. He
was represented by Attorney Charles
w. Sterling of st. Paul. He was
taken to Gaylord yesterday directly
from st. Paul.
F. ]. Vollman pleaded guilty to
charges of sale and possession. He
was fined $3.50 and given ninety days
in the Sibley county Jail to which
place he was taken yesterday. He
sold his pool hall last week to a
brother of John Driscoll. James
Cady is temporarily in charge of the
business.
Randall's partner, JOS. Guendner,
pleaded guilty to the charge of
possession of intoxicating liquor
contrary to law and was fined $3.50
which he paid. He was not charged
with selling, hence the lighter SEN
tence.
Shortly after the second raid in
October, Randall and Guendner dis
posed of their business.-Springfield

CHEVROLET CAR is
STOLEN AT NEW ULM

Monday morning when ]. F. Tel
chrow of New Ulm went to the front
of the family residence on South
Broadway to get his Chevrolet sedan,
the car was missing. A search failed
to reveal the car and it was decided
that some one had stolen the machine
from its parking place, about eleven
o'clock the night before.
Insurance on the car had expired a
few days previous. and the policy had
not been renewed, so the loss will
probably be complete. Hopes are
held, however, that the car will be
found and returned. It is likely that
the car was driven to some distant
point.

TWO GROUPS JOIN TO
IS ADVERTISE MINNESOTA

Ten Thousand akes-Greater Min
nesota Association is a name that
will become we'll known throughout
the state in months and years to
come. It is the name of the enlarg-
ed organization which will perform
the work of selling Minnesota to the
world agriculturally as well as a
great summer playground.
The new association represents the
merged units which previously have
been known as the Ten THOUSAND
Lakes of Minnesota Association and
the Greater Minnesota Association.
The, formal consolidation took place
at a joint meeting of the two organ
izations held at the Ryan Hotel, ST.
Paul, last Friday.
The session marked the 18th annu-
al meeting of the Ten Thousand
Lakes Association and the annual re-
port of H. C.. Hotaling,. secretary
gave the information that during
1923, 1,555, 1854 tourists from other
states visited here and spent $780,
$50. This is more than double
the tourist business of five years
ago, the first year that Mr.. Hotaling
was secretary of the organization
when 100000 tourists visited the
state and spent $4O,OOO,0OO here! A
substantial increase is shown over
1927 when 1,441, 101 summer visitors
left $82, 405, 408 in the state.
The general advertising campaign
reaching 11,1O1,659 readers of 20
newspapers and IA national maya
zines was changed last May so that
farm inquiries were invited. Later in
the year a strictly agricultural cam
paign was inaugurated reaching s.
319,403 readers of farm publications.
More than 100000 pieces of adver-
Using material were printed which
were 10000 maps, $4,000 copies of
Recreation Days, $4,000 copies of an
illustrated Minnesota booklet, 5000
agricultural maps and folders and
$4,000 rotogravure calendars devoted

every fond mother hoped that her lit
tie Teddy would some day be as great
a man as the hero of San Juan hill.
Twenty years from now the poll books
of the nation will be enriched with an
astonishing number of new voters
whose last name will be anything from
Smith to Jablonski, but whose first
two names will undoubtedly be
Charles Lindbergh. And his play
mates won't call him Charlie, if he
has anything TO say about it.
OF course, there is danger in fol-
lowing the fashion of the hour in
hanging some popular-at-that- time title
on the child. At the beginning of the
Twentieth century, when the nouveau
richie set out to get social distinction
along with their money they decided
that their sons would have -'ritzy'
names. SO lot of Percys, Algernons,
Reginalds, and some Clarences became
candidates for the Social Register, and
today these boys are trying to live
down the idea of their fellow men
that they were once clad in little
Lord Fauntleroy suits with white ruff
fled collars and wore their hair in
curls.
In addition to his investigations as
to the relative numbers and reason
for personal titles, Professor Stewart
in his survey also offers some sugges-
lions to parents when they are con-
fronted with the age-old problem of
naming the baby. In brief here are
some of them:
Beware of current fadS in names.
Your child will grow up as one of a
crowd, instead of with distinctive
name of its own and may live to re-
gret it.
Take thought as to initials. COnsid-
er the case of the poor girl named AL
berta Susan Spear
Don't mix your nationalities. De
spite the popularity of "Abie'S Irish
Rose" Kathleen Guggenheimer is not
good combination. Neither is Crotch
en- Flaherty nor Renee Stokes.
If the last name is "strong," tone it
down with a softer first name. The
Quigley and Higgins families should
chose Barbara or Jeanette rather than
Eliza or Violet. The more neutral
your last name is the wider choice you
have for the first name. That's one
of the advantages of being Smith.
And last and most important of all,
unless you want to win the undying
resentment of your sciOns, don't play
jokes upon them, especially if your
last name happens to be somewhat
tricky" Consider the case of the
governor of Texas who named his two
daughters Ina and IRA. For his
name was Hogg Remember, also,
the girls who went through life Gum
less they marriedD bearing the titles
of June Day, Mary Christmas, Helen
Burne, Helen Boyle, and Marietta
Fish.

7 ender, Aching
Swollen Feet
In Just Five Minutes Those Sore.
Tender, Aching Feet Get
Amazing Relief.

You probably feel like a lot of other
people that about all you can do is
dust some powder in your shoes or give
your feet a special foot bath and let it
go at that, but don't be foolish. Make
up your mind today that you are going
to give your feet real chance to get
well.
Go to any good druggist today and
get an original bottle of Moone's En-
erald Oil.
The very first application will give
you relief and a few short treatments
will thoroughly convince you that by
sticking faithfully to it for a short
while your foot troubles will be q
thing of the past.
Don't expect a single bottle to do IL
all at once but one bottle we know will
show you beyond all question that you
have at last discovered the way to
solid foot comfort.
Remember that Moone's Emerald Oil
is a clean, powerful, penetrating Anti
septic Oil that does not stain or leave
a greasy residue and that it must give
complete satisfaction or your money
cheerfully refunded.

Illinois Experimenting
for Sod for GridirOns

The football gridirOn is to be put
under the scientific microscope. The
college of agriculture of the Uni
versty of Illinois is seeking to solve
for the athletic association the prob
lem of maintaining satisfactory turf
for football fields.
The experiments are to be con-
Quoted on 80 miniature gridirOns, ar
ranged like a checkerboard into one
regulation field. Nine different grasses
or turf plants are to be sown in strips
running crosswise of the gridiron
These strips are then to be crossed at
right angles with ten different
amounts and combinations of ferti-
lizers, running the length of the fields.
Thus there will be 90 different grass
and soil treatments for study.
The experimental gridiron will be
used by the Illinois squad for prac-
tice next fall. to subject it to the
same treatment it would receive I'M
der actual playing conditions.

Southwest Again Claims
"BO" McMillin as Coach

A. N. C'BoD McMillin's advent at
the Kansas State Agricultural college
next fall as head coach of football
will be a homecoming to the South
west for the former Centre college
gridiron star.
McMillin was born at Fort Worth,
Texas, and has spent most of his
life in the Southwestern states. AT
ter leaving Centre, where his leader
ship of the Praying Colonies" car
ried that team to national fame in
1919, 1920 and 1921, McMillfn went to
Geneva college. Beaver Falls, Pa.
After two successful years at Ge-
neva he now succeeds Coach Charles
w. Bachman, who resigned last fall
to become head coach at the Univer-
sity of Florida.

such cause of lamentation. Thus the
next generation of the family may

whats in a name?'-a great deal,
at least so far as numbers are con-
cerned in the case of certain names.
Take Mary, for instance. If you could
stand on a mountain top and in a
voice that could be heard from Maine
to California, should call Mary an
army of 100000 women and girls
would answer. And if you shouted
william" from that same eminence,
approximately 100000 masculine
voices would answer.
Despite the preponderance of
Marys, however, that name is grad
ually losing its popularity, according
ly to Professor Stewart. In 1903
Mary led the list of girls names, one
in fourteen. Today she is gradually
giving way to Elizabeth, who now
ranks first. Next to Elizabeth and
Marie, Katherine, Louise, Ruth, Elean-
or and Evelyn. In 1905 Anna, Grace,
Emily, Alice, Caroline, May, Emma
and Mable were very popular names.
but they seem to be losing out now.
Usually there is some direct reason
for fashions in names as witness the
case of Edna. Up until 1870 Edna
was comparatively rare name. Then
came the publication of the book "St.
Elmo" with its sanity heroine, Edna
Earl. Immediately there was boom
in Ednas which has continued TO this
day. How do you account for the re-
cent popularity Of Jeans and JOans?
Easy The millions of men who served
over there from 1917 to 1919 brought
back with them the memories of
France, which has resulted in a YER
liable deluge of these two names.
As for mems names there does not
seem to have been as great changes
in popularity as in wOmen's names.
Forty years ago William and John
were the commOnest names, and today
they still lead the list The only three
common names that have shown much
decrease are Henry, Frederick and
Thomas, and they have been replaced
to large extent by Harold, Arthur
and Francis. However, masculine
names occasionally reflect current
fashions just as do their sisters. If
you are introduced to man named
Dewey Jones'" you can guess his
age at thirty years and you won't be
more than a year or so off, For it
was just thirty years ago that the
hero of Manila bay was the popular
idol in the United States, and hum
dreds of parents found no difficulty,
whatever, in selecting name for their
boy babies. And those who weren't
called Dewey" were called by the more
imposing name of Theodore because
