COUNTIES TO help
CHILD CRIPPLES
Many Counties Begin to Organ
ize to Locate Their Grip
pied Children

Because the meeting of the Inter
national Society for Crippled Child
rem will take place March 18, 19 and
20 in Minneapolis, state workers are
anxious to further the work of the
State Association in every way in
order that the host-state may prove
to its visitors that it has not been
idle. A complete and state wide sur
vey of all cripples both children and
adults is one of the present objec-
tives. n
Many counties have already organ
lied and others are now getting their
"set-up" under the direction of Mrs
E. G. Quamme, executive secretary of
the Minnesota Association for Grip
pied Children of which Governor
Theodore Christianson is the Honor.
ary President.
Counties having completed their or.
ganizations are Washington, Clay
Douglas, Goodhue, Isanti, Kanabec,
Olmstead Otter Tail, Pope, Ramsey
Stearns, Wabasha, Winona, Yellow
Medicine, Morrison Becker, LIE Sueul
and Blue Earth. Surveys are well
started in Chisago, Cook, Dakota and
Wright.
The object of the survey is to ascer-
tain how many cripples each county
has, their physical and financial con-
dition, what is required to cure or cor
rect their physical condition and what
is necessary to their education or in
dustrial rehabilitation. 1t is not with
in the province of the State Associa-
ton to assist individual cases but to
further the cause of all unfortunate
ones within the states borders. Both
civic economy and humanitarianism
demand that these cases be found
early and that information concerning
them be accurate in order that the
reclaiming process may be fastened.
County organizations will also ac-
cept memberships in the state organ
ization which lis officered by medical
men and interested men and women
of all professions who are volunteer
ing their services. Any interested
person may become a member upon
payment of the fee which varies
from $1O0 for active membership to
any amount a person wishes to give
to the support of the work.

be played that will establish the dis
trict championship. This game will
start at 900 P M. Previous to this
game the Consolation winners will
be decided This third place game
will begin at 500 P. M.
The schools that have had season
tickets allotted have been slow in re-
turning the tickets that were not sold,
due probably to the uncertainty of
the roads and the difficulty of selling
the tickets because of this. There
no doubt will be enough season tick
cts for those who have left their
orders and paid for them. The way
the returns have come in it looks as
though there will be enough left for
any others who may wish them. These
tickets are on sale at Sward- Kemp
Drug Store.
The armory doors will be open one
hour and fifteen minutes before each
session. The Redwood Falls section
has been placed on the east side of
the armory, although many fans from
the city will be mixed through the
crowd because of the late purchasers
of tickets.
The regional tournament will be
held at the armory on Friday, March
18th, with two games in the after
noon and two in the evening.

MORGAN EDGES OUT
CLASS 'B" VICTORY
WabassO Defeated i'm Finals IL
to 10. Morgan Represents
Class "B" in District

The Morgan High School basket
ball team again earned the right to
represent the Class "B" teams in the
District 20 tournament which will
begin at the armory tomorrow
(Thursday) night. Although Morgan
lost practically their whole first team
by graduation last year, the 1928
team came through last Friday and
Saturday nights to win the coveted
Class B championship in which -four
teams were represented.
The B tournament was held at the
Lincoln School gymnasium with Nor
gan, Wabasso, Franklin and Gibbon
playing. The first evening game
opened with Morgan and Gibbon play
a close game in which the Morgan
lads won by a 16 to 10 count. This
game was hard fought contest all
the way, with Gibbon having a little
the better of the breaks in the first
half. The last half saw the Morgan
team forge ahead and retain their
lead to the last whistle.
Wabasso easily defeated the Frank
lin High School team in the first
round by Fl to 10 count, earning
the right to vie with Morgan in the
finals. Probably the outstanding
player of the tournament was Schiff-
man of Wabasso. He played hard
at all times and seemed to have THE
best eye for baskets, sinking many
from all parts Of the floor in the
Franklin game.
The final game played Saturday
night, both the Morgan and Wabasso
teams were evenly matched. 1t was
expected that the winning team would
be extended to the utmost to count
a victory; this prediction proved
true, for never was such hard game
won by Morgan in the last minutes
as was the final. The count ended
IL to 10, after Wabasso had held a
lead throughout three quarters. The
first period ended with each team be-
ing able to score but one free throw.
I'm the second period Wabasso run
it's count to eight while Morgan was
content with four points to bring
its scoring to five.
Counting was even in the third
quarter, each team getting two points
to make Wabasso a leader by a 10 to

the desire of the SpOrtsmanship

Redwood Falls act their part
as hosts to the visiting teams

that the Redwood Falls team
will not be "razzed" by Red

players is not true sportsman

players may represent. The
committee is desirOus of having
all teams and fans represented

GOVERNOR SIGNS
IMPORTANT LAW
Old Age Pension Bill Passes
Both Houses of Legislature
Anti-HOme Brew Stirs Fight

Special to the Redwood Gazette.
st. Paul, Minn., March 5.-The first
important bill enacted into law by the
present legislature was signed by the
governor late Friday-the Old Age
Pension Bill, introduced by several
senators and Representatives early in
the session. The new law provides
that INDECENT persons of the age of 70
years or more, who have been resi-
dents of county at least Is years
and who have no children able to
support and care for them, shall be
entitled to a pension not to exceed
one dollar per day. It is left to the
voters of the various counties to de-
termine whether they want to adopt
the pension plan. If adopted by a
majority vote, the county board must
annually appropriate sufficient funds
to carry out the plan. To obtain pen
sions, persons must apply to the dis
trict judge who shall investigate and
pass upon applications and determine
the amount of the pension each ap-
plicant shall receive. In Montana,
where similar law has been in force
for some time, it has cost the coun-
ties less than 5000 per year to main
tain the aged poor, who have pro-
fitted by the act. This low cost re-
suits from the fact that relatives of
the beneiciaries agree to keep them
for less than one dollar per day.
That home-brewed beer is more
poisonous than moonshine was the
declaration of Andrew j. Volstead,
author of the famous Volstead act
and legal advisor of the Northern
Prohibition Enforcement Department,
at public hearing on the bill, which
prohibits the use of malt, favored
with hops or substitutes of hops, in
making of beer, either at home or
anywhere else. The bill has the back
ing of Mr.. Volstead, Governor Chris
tianson, Attorney General Young
quist and S. B. Qvale, Northwest
prohibition administrator.
The bill was attacked at the hear
ing by William Geasler of st. Paul,
the Associated Bakers
of America, Scott L. Cripple of St.
Paul, representing union labor organ
izations, Senator j. D. Sullivan of st.
Cloud and L. F. Meese of Minnea-
polls speaking for the Associated
Bakers of Minnesota. Reverend B.
E. Bergeson of Minneapolis and Rev.
erend John Holland of st. Paul back

bill.

tances from which to Mt. Rainier are known accurately by geological measurements.
 In photo of this mountain pre- yiously taken at ITS miles, from an altitude of 17.000 feet, the peak shows about one quarter of an inch. In the new effort Captain Stevens will attempt to get sufficiently far away so that only a small fraction of an inch sticks up.
 The camera used will be an army Fairchild K-6, using an Eastman 500 nm. focal length lens, krypto- cyanine hypersensitized film and a red filter.
 The film is representative to the long rays of light in the red end of the spectrum, and the red filter a assists in concentrating them. These rays pierce haze better than shorter wave lengths, and have re- corded photos of objects that to the eye seemed hidden behind fog.
 Captain Stevens hopes to take pictures at 200 miles or better.

First National Bank Gets Supply of New Bills,
 Three Denominations

Shades of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Hamilton, Jackson, Grant, Franklin, Mckinley, Clevelan d, Madison and Chase! That's the na- tion's new financial menu, take your choice.
 But just now it is l m t e d choice. Much as it might be de- sired to order 1000 Washingtons or even one Chase, at present the To- cal market is restricted to Lincoln's, Hamiltons and Jacksons. Which is the bankers way of saying that the new five, ten and twenty dollar bills adopted by the United States Treasury have been received.
 On the $5 bill one face bears the likeness of Lincoln and the reverse side carries reproduction of the Lincoln Memorial. Hamilton's like ness adorns one side of the $10 bill and on the other side is the Treas ury Building. "Old Hickory" blos- soms out on the $20 bill which bears on the reverse side the White House.
 These are the three denomina- tions received by the First National Bank. The other denominations are: Washington, $1; Jefferson s2; Grant $50; Franklin $100; McKin- ley $500; Cleveland sl,000; Madi- son s5000; and Chase $l0.000.

YACHT GLORIA DALTON STARTS CRUISE SOUTH; STOPS ARE SCHEDULED

After being anchored in the Channel since Saturday afternoon, the 110-foot schooner -rigged yacht, Gloria Dalton, owned by Victor E. Dalton, of Los Angeles, was to leave this afternoon to begin the cruise south with stops scheduled at Sitka Hot Springs, Petersburg, Wrangell, Klawak, and Alert Bay, on the way to Seattle from where the cruise will continue to Los An geles harbor
 MT. and Mrs. Dalton, who with their six-year- daughter, Marilyn Dalton, have been cruising since June 9th, when they left Los An- geles, experienced rainy weather during the trip north and are hop- ing for sunshine and lots of fishing on the way south. While the yacht was anchored here, MT. and Mrs. Dalton made the round trip on the Northwestern to Skagway and Bennett. While there they pur- chased a malamute puppy for their daughter.
 The Gloria Dalton, which is said to be one of the most graceful yachts of it's type on the Pacific Coast, was built in Los Angeles a year ago. It is almost entirely constructed of submarine steel and is powered with a 175-hp. Hall- Scott gasoline auxiliary engine. When cruising on open water the craft uses only sails. There are accommodations for twenty on the vessel, which requires g crew of seven.

DIVERS LEAVE ISLANDER AND
 RETURN SOUTH
Treasure Seeking Expedi- ton Abandons Search
 for Gold on Vessel

The efforts to salvage reputed treasure from the wrecked Islander, in progress for almost two months past, have been discontinued and the treasure seekers have sailed for Seattle. How much success re- warded their work is more or less a secret, but it was indicated that no money was found.
 The s. H. Finch, Captain s. H.. Finch, Jr., with divers and divers equipment aboard. cleared from this port this morning for Seattle. If there was treasure aboard it was not declared at the Customs house. The only articles listed in the dec laration were the various kinds of divers equipment used in the search. And Capt Finch de- clared they had found nothing. He remarked that the outfit was un- der contract to carry on the sal wage operations for 60 days and, as these were about expired, he didn't see any use of remaining here any longer.
 On June 25, it was reliably re- ported here that the Finch had located the purser's safe on the Islander and that it would be raised in a few days. Since then nothing has been heard regarding the operations. It was claimed that the safe contained anywhere from $10O,O00 to $6Oo,oO0. In ad- dition the divers expected to search for express boxes believed to have carried gold dust from the Klon- dike. While Capt. Wiley made no specific mention of these matters while clearing, he said the expedi- tion had found nothing of value.
 The Islander went down on Au- gust IS, 1901. Several efforts have been made since then to recover gold it was believed to have car ried. None of them have achieved their object.
