Beliefs on Tolerance and
Meditation

minister Of the Washington Ortho-

Here Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover will

In an article on DR.. Murray in
current issue Of the Christian

pictures the Minister-elect and
quotes him concerning his ideas on
what the Presidents minister
should do and what kind of servi-

CDR. Murray, now in his sixty
third year, shows his age only by
the whiteness of his hair" says
Mr.. Overton. "He has a close
trimmed mustache, is of medium

Jones Law Will Put Many
Bootleggers Out Of Biz
Bill Passed by Congress Provides
Up to Five Years for First
Offenders

st. Paul, March 6.-Passage of
the Jones prohibition bill by Con-
gress has put a serious crimp in the
business of purveying bibulous
cheer, Northwest prohibition Of
ficials reported Tuesday.
For one thing, it has more than
doubled the price of moonshine
For another it has reduced profit
on imported" liquor from 400 per
cent to 800 per cent. And then,
saddest of all, it has forced more
than SO per cent of the small boot
leggers out of business.
The effect of the bill, which pro-
vides stringent punishment for
violations by M. L. Harvey, deputy
Northwest prohibition administrat-
or, and M. A. Knudsen, Minneapo-
lis field chief, as the greatest in
the history of prohibition
"The retail price of moonshine
still is 25 cents a drink, but it will
not be that for very long," Mr..
Harney said. "Our operatives
were quoted a price of $40 a gal
iOi Oit HiOOltSulIiC, WllCIC GWO WSChS
ego il was S4 a gallon. The rise
in the wholesale price is cutting
down on the profits to the boot
logger and we learn that more than
half the small fellows in the Twin
Cities have quit or are getting out
of it.
zone bootlegger informed one of
our operatives that the brokers
had doubled the price on him and
that he would have to quit because
he could not make money. From
other sources we have found that
bootleggers are quitting right and
left.
''The effect Of the bill, when its
measure of punishment becomes
more generally known, will be to
leave only the 'racketeers' for it
will be foolish for the small boot
leggers to stay in the game. The
returns will not be worth while.
The Jones bill provides five
year penalty for violation to the
prohibition act. Heretofore the
penalty for transportation has been
a $500 fine. Now the penalty will
be five years, which also can be
applied in case of sale and posses
sion.

Better Day Is Dawning
for Crippled Children
international Organization Will
Hold Convention in Minneap-
oils March 18, 19, 20

The February number of the
official organ of the international
Society of Crippled Children is a
Minnesota issue. On the cover is
the picture of the late William
Henry Eustis in recognition of his
interest and generous gifts to Grip
pied children's work. There are
articles on the Gillette State Hos
pital and Memoria l School fol-
Crippled Children at st. Paul, the
Michael Dcwling School in Mime
apolis and the Duluth School fo1
Crippled children. DIR. J. W. Hol-
land has an article on the Twin City
Shrine Hospital. Mr.. Oscal Sulli-
van has an article on the history
of the Minnesota Association for
Crippled Children and a short story
of the Re-Education Division which
is just completing its tenth year OF
usefulness.
The program for the meeting OF
the international Society for Grip
pied Children which takes place in
Minneapolis, March 18, 10 and 20,
appears in that number also. The
international Society is working to
organize societies in every state SO
that there shall be nation wide
determination to give every Grip
pied child every opportunity pos
sible to become a self supporting
and useful citizen. In the plan of
work outlined by that international
society it takes account of the en-
tire problem of the crippled, his
education and preparation for em-
ployment as well as his physical re-
habilitation. Speakers of note and
persons who have made life
study of this social problem will
appear on the program. All per-
sons interested in this great work
are most cordially welcomed to
attend.

GLENWOOD H. SIS
DISTRICT CHAMP. .
Basket Ball Tournament at
Sauk Centre Attracts
Wide Interest
ALEX WAS RUNNER-UP
s'Main Streeters" Eliminated
in First Start After Very
Hard Fight ~

With gate receipts well over
$1,000 the District Basket Ball
tournament held at the Sauk Cen
tire Junior High School Auditor
ium Friday and Saturday of last
week was a success from every
angle.
The players, the coaches, the
school heads and the hundreds
of patrons from outside Sauk Cen
tire were delighted with the facili-
ties, the arrangements and the
splendid treatment accorded visit
ing teams by lSauk Centre people.
Perhaps never in the history
of preceding tournaments held
in this city were the competing
teams as closely matched as in the
tournament closing Saturday eve-
ming when Glenwood defeated
Alexandria in a heart-wrecking
overtime game by score of
21-20.
The Bertha team district Cham
pions of Glass B, moved out of
their class and cut considerable
figure with the Class A boys. They
showed their best form in their
opening game with Osakis. In the
consolation game Saturday even
ing with Melrose, while they were
winning, they did not look so good:
They are an exceptionally well
coached team, but it is doubtful
if they would have made such a
splendid record had all their op-
ponents been teams made up OF
Class A schools.
Phil Garfield, of Breckenridge,
handled all of the games. 1t is a
real task to referee six games one
day and come back with two more
the following evening. He under
stands his basket ball thoroughly,
is impartial in his rulings and
keeps the player well in hand.
Perhaps Father Time is demand
ing his toll as it appeared to the
Herald editor that Phil is trifle
slower than in proceeding years.
After the expenses of the tourn-
ament are paid the balance is di-
vided among the contesting teams,
it is understood.
While no selection has been made
for the place of holding the District
tournament of 1880 it is conceiv-
able that any other point than iSauk
Centre will be selected. AS mat
ter of fact there is strong senti-
ment in favor of holding the Reg
ional tournament in this city.
The Districts of the state are a
trifle unwieldy, and it is under
stood there is apt to be realign-
ment next year.
The Regional tournament will be
played at Alexandria Friday of
this week. Glenwood meets the
Crosby-Ironton team in the open
ing game Friday afternoon; the
second game will be played between
the St. Cloud Techs and the Daw-
son lads. The finals and consola-
tion game will be played in the
evening.

tire Community Club rooms Thurs
day of last week at which the All
Club movement was fully ex-
planned.
The meeting was one of a series
held all over Stearns county last
week, conducted by County Super
intendent VIM. Boerger. The gen.
tleman was enthusiastic over the
interest displayed by the young
people of this community in the
work, stating that the Sauk Centre
gathering was by far the largest
numerically and in enthusiasm held
in the county.
Mr.. Kittleson, assistant state
club leader, made a very interest
ing talk in which he urged that
a definite club program be worked
out, stating that if real success was
to crown the efforts the parents
must give the children whole heart
ed cooperation.
The animal must be the absolute
property of the boy or girl. It
should not be the boys calf and
dads cow.
He gave several practical illus
trations of what boys and girls had
achieved in other parts Of the
state.
The parents were admonished to
furnish the child with a good ami
NAL for the project t. the best re-
suits were to be achieved. He rec
commended that the young people
take OH baby beef, dairy calf, pigs,
sheep. colts and poultry as their
projects.
At the present time over $4,000
Minnesota boys and girls are sue
cessfully carrying on the club
work.
The youngsters were urged to
not go into the club movement with
the idea of carrying on for one
year only.
Charles Lien, st. Cloud, told of
the success Of the Boys and Girls
Club work in his community. The
movement first started four years
ago. Many parents who are luke
warm toward the movement at the
start are now enthusiastic support
ers.
At the close of the meeting lunch
was served by the Fair Association
and the Sauk Centre Community
Club.
The following is the outline of
re'Tirements for club membership :
