$35, 600 Drive For Crippled
Children is Begun In State
Counties Are Being Organized i'm
Campaign to Raise Funds For
MinnesOta's Manned.

A campaign for dollar subscriptions
to raise $4,000 throughout the State
is being organized by the Minnesota
Association for Crippled Children.
County chairmen are being appoint
ed who, with local committees, rep
resentatives of churches, hospitals,
medical profession, parent-teacher as
sociations, and social and civic groups
will assist in conducting the drive.
The need OF the crippled child will
be explained by members of these
committees to all local organizations.
A campaign button and pamphlet dis
cusing the purpose of the state asso-.
citation will be given with the dollar
subscription.
Following the campaign, an effort
is to be made by the State Association
to locate the 10000 cripples estimated
by the National Association for Grip
pied Children to exist in Minnesota.
The Minnesota Association for Grip
pied Children is conducting the drive.
With it's $4,000 budget the program
can be made statewide and continued
through the year.
Groups Affiliated.
The state association is affiliated
with the National Association for
Crippled Children and Daddy" Alien
its president has presented for the
past two years a national member
ship of 500 annually to the Mime
sofa Association for Crippled Chill
dren.
The Minnesota Association for
Crippled Children was organized two
years ago to locate the crippled hill
dren, determine their needs and sim
ulate early, hospitalizations, GONZALES

Hennepin and St. Louis counties
are the only counties availing them
selves of the state aid providing $3.50
annually for the education of rip
pied children discharged from hos
pitfalls but unable to attend regular
schools because of incomplete physic-
al rehabilitation Since the state has
enacted a law for it's crippled chill
dren, the board of directors of the
association feels that this aid should
be utilized to it's fullest extent in
order that the mentally normal Grip

Pine CITY HIT
BY INFLUENZA
Schools Closed Two Days
Last Week; Other Sec
tons Report Severe
Cases; Health Authorities
Urge Precautions.

What is said, in some instances, to
be nearly as severe as the Influenza
prevalent in wartime, has been going
the rounds in this and other sections
the last several weeks.
The disease reached such proper
tions last week in Pine City, that the
board of health deemed it advisable
to close the public schools and issue
warnings against children attending
public gatherings, such as dances,
parties, theaters and Sunday schools.
Children Examined.
All of the school children were eX-
amined, and it was found that one
third were absent because they had
contracted influenza, and One-half of
those remaining in school were run
ming high temperatures. I
Several very serious cases were re-
ported, and one death resulted.
Evelyn Nelson, member of the soph-
omore class, died of pneumonia last
Friday night, the disease having de-
velOped from what was at first
thought to be a light case of flu.
School was closed on Thursday af
ternoOn and remained closed on Fri
day, opening again Monday morning.
Make Careful Check.
A careful check is being made of
all school children at Pine City, and
any showing the symptoms are sent
home. Several social functions have
been postponed while efforts are be-
ing made to control all cases that
show any degree of seriousness.
Reports of minor cases have come
from various sections of the county,
and from many other places in Mime
sofa and other northwest states.
Health authorities do not wish to
scare" the public into an influenza
epidemic, as the term is known, but
suggest that precautions be taken. 1t
is not in epidemic form, they say. ?

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

AS a result of the protracted unem-
ployment situation in Denmark, as
well as of the American immigration
restrictions, large numbers of Danes
have recently left their native coun-
try for Canada where it is reported
that three thousand Danish settlers
have arrived during the first three
months of this year. The Danish
minister to the Argentine republic
has been instructed by his govern
ment to investigate colonization OPP
portunities in the Rio Negro valley
of that South American country with
a view toward facilitating immigra-
ton thither. While the Danish gov
eminent does not encourage its ma
ious to give those who intend to emil
crate as complete and correct inform
alton as possible.

KITE FLIERS WARNED
BY POWER COMPANIES

AS the result of the experience last
Friday of two Sandstone boys who
were flying kites which became en-
tangled with high tension electric
wires, power companies have issued
a warning to all boys and girls to be
extremely careful.
In trying to loosen the kites the
wires came together and burned out
two fuses costing about $25. The viii
lage was without power for a few
minutes, until the fuses could be re-
placed.
The power company points out that
if the kite string and ground had been
wet, or a copper wire had been used,
it would have been sure death for the
boys as there were $500 volts in one
wire, and $4,000 in the other.

Ou WASHINGTON Letter
BY " ODaley

Washington, May 3.-Only the hand
of death put up an effective stop sign
on politics and then it is a courteous
pause of tribute to a departed men,
Der. The adjournment of respect
gives busy Legislators an opportunity
of catching up on their affairs and
makes them more ready for debate in
committees and on the floor.
The sudden passing of Representa-
tive Martin B. Madden of Illinois,
carries little significance outside
of official Washington. Yet, he
has long been recognized by i'm
partial observers as the most
powerful figure in the house by
reason of his long service and chair
manship of the all-influential COM
mittee on appropriations. Not even
the presence of the famed German
Irish aviators and other noted con-
querors of the air at the final tribute
to Floyd Bennett here last week, could
overshadow the dramatic exit of the
Nations leading congressman!
Plenty of "Ffgures."
An astute mathematician would ex-
perience some difficulty in reaching
the conclusions that are made public
by faction leaders as to the trend of
the Presidential race. Visitors to the
Nations Capital find themselves in
the role of political scouts for their
hosts who usually question them on
conditions back home" Every frag-
ment of Information, real or imagin-
airy, is collected and turned over to
the mathematical experts who think
in terms of delegates votes as they
may be cast at the two major con-
ventions. At present, surface indica-
lions point to Hoover and Smith, but
the seasoned veterans of pre-conven-
tion campaigns remain wisely nom
committal They have watched the
ballyhoo from band-wagons in other
years and rememberer that the cart
is often upset at the convention.
Hence, the general reluctance to
make definite predictions unless by
leaders of factions, who are always
optimistic.
