be nothing new to Lindbergh. He
holds similar assignments with the
Daniel Guggenheim Fund for Pro-
motion of AeronauticS, the Pan
American Always and with the
Trans-Concinental Aair Transport
He now is making a survey flight
for the latter concern.
In addition to regulations, the
government will seek his advice on
airways extension dealing with
equipment, construction; airWay
mapping; accident prevention and
aeronauticaI research.
Youngest of Officials

family. pointing out that on each
visit to Washington he has consult
cd with aviation officials and made
many suggestions cleaned from his
flights.

lire primarily in the hands of
young men.

 HOSPITAL FUND
(By Russell G Maynard)


 The S. S. Victoria arrived in Nome on her first trip north last evening in dense fog with 255 passengers. People on board report most enjoyable voyage, broken with but few hours or so of poor sailing wealth CT. No ice was encountered and only few small bergs were sighted during the last hours of the trip.
 Hardly dull moment marred the pleasure of the trip, and on the night proceeding the day of landing a fascinating and excep- tionally entertaining program was afforded the passengers. This new and novel bit of entertain ment was sponsored by Mrs. G. R. Jackson, new arrival in Nome, to whom much credit is due, and was given for the bene- fit of the Childrens Orthopedic Hospital, Seattle, Washington, Many people, who had during the winter, an opportunity of acquaint- ing themselves in one way or another with this wonderful in stitution, were loud in their praise of it, and spoke frequently on board about the benefits arising to Alaska and the whole North west through it. It was grad ually worded around the ship that possibly something could be done to name bed for Alaskan children. Some thought was giv- en the idea and it was finally de- cided to put on an entertainment and raise fund on board to go towards this purpose. Accord ing to the report given out an- nually by the hospital. s250 is necessary each year in order to have a bed reserved The amount raised on board the Victoria was little over s10o.

Polet gave short and we'll di- rected talk on the purpose of the show and also spoke quite elo- quently about the Children's Or thopedic Hospital. giving many interesting and important facts about it. Every variety of en- tertainment imaginable was plac- ed on the program. Notices had been posted over the ship tell ing of what was to take place and when curtain time came the Vic's social hall was crowded to overflowing, It might be proper at this time to speak of the cred it due the officers in helping to put the show across. They were very patient and did all they could in furnishing the company with stage props and lighting effects

Polet. act after act being un- reeled before the admiring eyes of the spectators. with the speed and accomplishment of trained artists. Imaginary marital condi- tions. Spanish dances, Classical selections on the violin, Comical songs and acts and even examples of the ritaulistic art of the South Sea Islands-the Hula Hula Dan ce made up this entertaining and original program.

 Mrs. G. R. Jackson, the origin al sponsorer of the entertainment, who is very delightful singer and entertainer. gave a few vocal jokes on some of the spectators, the lyric being composed by the old time sourdough poet, Sam Gaylord. Nomeites are apt to call on Mrs. Jackson some time for more of her entertaining features.
 It was a great surprise to dis cover aboard, some professional talent in the way of dancing, in Mrs. Carl Eckberg, who initiated those presnt into the many variety of steps to the Hula Hula Dance. It is understood that MT. and Mrs. Eckberg will be in and out of Nome most of the summer and perhaps there may be some oc- casion when Mrs. Eckberg could be called on to give a Nome aud fence a more enjoyable entertain mrnt.
 Bill Phillips and A. c. Stewart, two old-timers around Nome, gave those present sample of the old sourdough art of singing, which was greatly appreciated.

FARMER SWINDLED
BY BAND OF GYPSIES

Carl Glode, prominent farmer liy-
ing a short distance southwest of
Oelwein, Iowa has learned that gyp-
sizes are not to be trusted, that is
where cash is concerned. This know
ledge was acquired by Mr.. Glode at
a cost of $4,000 in cash last week
it became known today.
Glode visited a gypsy camp where
he was induced to tie $50 in a hand
kerchief. This was manipulated by
the gypsies in such a manner that it
was doubled as bait. With the $120
easily gotten Globe decided to get rich
quick. The dark skinned takers as
sured the farmer that they could
double any amount of money, if he
followed their instructions. The final
outcome was that he drew $4,000
out of the bank, which was sewed in
a money belt and turned over to the
gypsies to double" He was told
to wear the belt two days and then
open it. He did so to find it was
filled with old paper. Now officials
are searching for the gypsies.-Man-

STORE
ROBBED WEDNESDAY

Roger Williams, aged 20, of Lyon
county and Gilbert Holstein, 10, of
Redwood county, but both living with

, ing held to the district court as re-
suit of confession made to Sheriff
Nelson, in which they admitted break
ing into the Tepeeotah store last We'd
nesday evening.
Entering the store Thursday morn
ing, Leslie Campbell noticed that four
slot machines, some candy and-eaa-
ned goods were missing. He notified
Sheriff Nelson, who at once set about
gathering clues.
: Tire marks of an automobile were
traced to a grove near the Robbins
farm. There the missing articles were
found, and Sheriff Nelson remained
on watch all Thursday night, hoping
the thieves would come and get their
booty. His watchfulness was not.
rewarded, however. On Friday night
Peter Reinart was placed on guard,
and between 10 and II o'clock the two
young men put in their appearance.
They were about to carry away their
prize when apprehended.
The two were brought to this city
and placed in the local Jail. Sheriff
Nelson questioned them closely, but
the boys were agreed in the story
that they had found some bottles of
alcohol few days before and had hid
den them in the Robbins grove for
safe-keeping. They claimed they
were seeking the alcohol, and had no
, knowledge of the robbery. Confront
ed with tools they had used in gain
ing entrance to the store, they finally
broke down and confessed. Friday
morning they waived preliminary AK
animation in Justice Ruane's court,
| and were bound over to the district
court on 81 900 bonds each. They will
forego trial, however and appear to-
! morrow beore Judge Howard for
| sentence.
Both boys come from fine families.
Neither had motive for the robbery,
as both have bank accounts, and one
owns a new automobile. Asked why
they committed the robbery, they said
they merely wanted thrill.-Slay-

Vernon Lindeman, IA Years Old,
Unable to Swim Steps
! In Hole

Every year the Minnesota river
takes its toll in this vicinity and the
first case of drowning to be reported
for the summer was that Of Vernon
Lindeman, fourteen-year-old SON Of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Lindeman of
Sleepy Eye, who met a tragic death
in the waters of the river late last
Sunday afternoon few miles north
of Sleepy Eye. The body was re-
covered Sunday evening about $50.
The lad had been making his home
with the Walter Schade family who
reside on farm north of Sleepy Eye.
Sunday afternoon he had gone to the
river intending to go wading with
two boy friends, Harold Steff and Pc
ter Ganske.. They selected place
NEAR the Hindeman bridge and went
out wading. Apparently Vernon step
ped in a deep place, for he went down
under the water. He was unable to
swim, and started bobbing up and
down. AS neither of the other boys
could swim, they secured long pole
which they reached out to him, but
the boy must have been frightened for
he did not attempt to grasp the pole
and soon disappeared.
The tragedy occurred about four
O'Clock and the companions of the boy
hurried as fast as they could to the
neighbors along the road and called
help. Two hours or more were spent
prodding around in the water with
long poles, but they were unable to
locate the body.
At $3.50, Jake Bates of Sleepy Eye
went to the scene of the accident, Of
fering to dive for the body, and he
was successful in securing it. DIR.
M. A. Kiefer of Sleepy Eye, deputy
coroner, was. called to the scene and
after investigating and examining the |
body found that the boy had come to
his death through accidental drown )
ing.
Born in Sleepy Eye, the boy had
spent all of his life in that vicinity
and leaves to mourn his sudden pass
ing his parents, one brother and three
sisters. Funeral services were held
Tuesday afternoon from st. Johns
Evangelical church at Sleepy Eye,
Rev. w. G. Albrecht officiating and
interment was made in cemetery
there.
This said incident should serve as
warning to resident of this vicinity.
The Minnesota river bottom is treach-
erous and parents should not allow
their children to go to the river un-
less accompanied by older people,
some one who can swim.
1t is reported that many small chill
dren are frequenting the river at the
dam near this city. Care should also
be taken here to prevent any tragedies
and youngsters who are anxious to go
swimming should be made to realize
the necessity of having some one older
with them who can swim.-New Ulm
