States sSportiest Golf Course
Is Being Made Still Sportier

That elusive par which golfers
dream about and seldom make is
going to be still more elusive this
season at the Redwood Falls course.
Over 800 hundred yards are being
added to the total yardage, and to
keep up lively pursuit Of something
to brag about, par for the nine holes
has been raised only one, making a
total of a new SO.
The first four holes of the course
have not been changed but improve
ments are now under way on the last
five. The president of the club, L.
j. Kise, has announced that the
green's committee, consisting Of ]. L..
Parsons, chairman, Parker Sanders,
w. S. Brammer, and, DIR. j. w. Ing
lis will soon be ready to announce
the completion of remodeling the
course.
Most of the green's are being widen
ed, and the straight drive to hole
five is being changed to a shorter
dogleg along the edge of the woods.
This involves much clearing away
and is proving to be a real task.
More wood has to be cleared for the
drive to hole six. The tee-off for
this hole has been changed to the
high knoll, and the green has been
moved about 200 feet north of the
old one.
The new hole seven will be a little
south of the old five on top of the
bank, and the old number six tee-off
will be used for eight. The old sew
en- green will now be number eight.
The tee-off for number eight has been
moved west about 100 yards. The
yardage on the ninth hole has been
increased, but it is thought that it
will be an easier hole to play as it
is a straight drive from eight.
The only holes changing par are
FIVE, six, and seven. These holes,
which formerly had pars of five, three,
and three respectively, will now carry
a straight four on each hole.
Committees appointed for this sea-
son besides the greens committee are
the tournament committee with
Charles Burmeister, chairman, DR.. j.
w. Anderson, Harold Aune, and E.
w. Currier; the membership commit
tee with DR.. j. w. Inglis, chairman,
N. R. Ryerson, j. w. Anderson, and
Rueben Serkland; and a sales of
stock committee with j. l.. Parsons,
chairman, Parker Sanders, George
Barnes, r. H. Byram, and R. w.
Serkland.

GOVERNOR SIGNS
BIRCH COOLEY BILL
Appropriation to Be Used for
Purchase of Land AS
Burial Ground.

Governor ,Christianson Wednes-
day signed a bill providing for the
establishment of the Birch Cooley
Battlefield Memorial park near Nor
ton. The bill calls for an appropria-
tion of $500 for the purchase of ad-
ditional land to enlarge the present
small acreage to a total of rs acres
to be used as a park and a burial
ground for ex-servicemen. The park
commentaries the battle between the
Federal troops and the Sioux Indians
at Birch Cooley in September, 1862.
The Governor voted the bill in the
1927 Legislative session when it was
presented to him punched with sew
eral other projects.
The movement for the establish
ment of the park was started about
three years ago by a few interested
individuals. It's supporters increased
until it had the endorsement of hun
dreds of various organizations in the
state.
During the 1927 and 1929 sessions
of the legislature, the bill was sup
ported by the state senator, Herman
Schmechel, and Representative Theo-
dore Thorkelson. These men fathered
the bill in their respective assemblies.
The Governor will appoint COM
mittee to take charge of affairs and
the $7,500.00 appropriation. R. G.
Quehl of Minneaolis, former resi-
dent of Morton, has been asked to
serve on the committee. He was one
of the original sponsors of the idea
and worked for it's success continu-

Local Post Signs Contracts With
Lyceum Service For
Two Plays.
CALL BASEBALL MEETING
League Committee Will Attempt
To Arrange Several
Teams in City.

Two steps valuable to the communl-
ty were taken by the local American
Legion Post at is regular meeting
last Thursday night.
Two high class plays from the
divisions Lyceum service were con-
tracted for to appear in Redwood
Falls under the auspices of the Post.
A committee was also appointed to
organize Junior Baseball League.
According to DIR. j. C. Budik, who
signed the contract for the plays, they
are two of the best that the Lyceum
service offers. One, "Abe Potash,
musical comedy with seven players,
is to be given the first or second week
in November and the other. "Mulva-
ney," play with five players, the
third or fourth week in January.
The dates are not as yet de-
finitely decided but the Post wishes
to avoid giving them during the holl-
day seasons.
The plays will cost the post S3OO.0O
to produce in Redwood Falls. DR.
Budik says that the POST does not
expect to make any money on them,
but they were of such high class
nature that they were worth bringing
to town even if money were lost on
them.
The Baseball committee appointed
consists of Bill Evans, chairman, Dr.
T. E. Finn. and Joe Corbett. A meet
ing for all boys under II is called Tor
Tuesday evening, April 2, at the Le-
gion club rooms. At that time
baseball league will be organized.
The Junior Baseball league being
Horned by the Legion is sponsored
as part of a national Junior Baseball
League sponsored by the national
American Legion. The American
Association is donating $50,OOO.OO to
ltake care of the, expenses OF the re-
sgional and national tournaments
spIayed each fall. Local leagues. are
tsponsored and paid for by the Local
LEGION Posts.
1 Last year there were I'll teams III
Minnesota. Twice as many are eX-
pected this year. -.
II In the second district OF Mime
sofa, of which the local team is
fmember, there were Is teams last
{ year. Each team or league may con-
sist of IA players. Boys under IL
wears of age are eligible to join.
ANY organization may sponsor
local league and pay its expenses
But, if the team gets into the re-
gional or national tournaments, II
must wear the colors and play under
the name of the Post in its home city
Mr.. Evans says that this year the
committee will attempt to organize
three or four leagues in Redwood II
other organizations can be persuaded
to cooperate.
Sometime. in the near future, the
Post plans to hold ritualistic meet
ing open to the public. At that time
the Legion will go through the com
plete official ritual which is very
impressive with it's military mano,
euvers and solemn ceremony.

CIGARETTE BILL
Is REJUVENATED
House Votes to Reconsider Tax
Bill. Babcock Gains
in Favor.
By Martin w. Odland.


st. Paul, Mimi, March 26.-The
fickleness of the Minnesota house of
representatives is shown by it's vote
on the Dunn bill imposing two cent
tax on each package of cigarets.
This bill came before the house We'd
nesday afternoon, in committee of
the whole, and after a debate lasting
for hours. advanced to the calendar
by a,vote of 68 to 45. But the next
day when placed on it's final passage,
the bill was FIVE votes short of the
66 votes which a bill must have no
matter how few votes are cast in op-
position. Mr.. Dunn was encouraged
by various leaders to move for a re-
consideration, and on Friday after
noon such motion carried by vote
of 73 to so. The bill was therefore
restored to life and, at the request
of the author, was placed on the
table, where it will remain till some
moment favorable for another effort
to pass it.
During the debate Wednesday those
who spoke for it were Roy Dunn of
Pelican Rapids, the author, Otto C.
Kolshorn of Red Wing, John l. Jor-
dahl of Lake Benton, j. E. Odegard of
Clear Lake, Martin P. Lager of Bron-
son, Michael Kremer of Belview, Hans
Arvik of Dorset, Matt j. Rohne of
London and Harry L. Wahlstrand of
Willmar, while those who talked
against it were Dewey johnson of
Minneapolis, Frank Starkey of st.
Paul, Gerald Mullin of Minneapolis,
Conrad Johnson of Almelund and
Joseph Kodak of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Dunn read letters from gov
ernors of various states where ci-
garet tax law is in force and from
other officers, all commencing such
tax to the favorable consideration
of the Minnesota legislature. It is
estimated that the Dunn bill, en-
acted into law would bring into the
state treasury about $2,000,000 per
year.

To Be
SURVEYED

The Public Utilities Commission
today, following a lengthy session
with engineers of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company in
regard to condition of bridges on
the Cabin John line, reported by the
District Engineer of Bridges to be
in need of repair and strengthen
ing, permitted the company to en-
gage their own bridge experts to
make a survey.
Although a number of repairs
have already been made on the
bridges in question. 1t was indicated
at the District Building that re.
pairs of more permanent nature
must follow.
The. company contends that the
bridges are safe in every respect
and asked permission of the com.
mission to engage experts from
Baltimore and then abide by the
verdict of such engineers.
The commission placed but one
restriction on the operation over
the bridges on this line, pending
filing Of the report by the experts
to be engaged by the company.
This restriction forbids the COM
pany to operate its work.train over
the structures until the report Is
made.
The District Engineer, in his re.
port, stated that operation Of the
work train over the bridges in their
present state of alleged disrepair
passed the factor of safety and
created a dangerous condition. No
load limit has been fixed for pas.
cars may not operate at the same
time on any one bridge.

With the end of its first year Of
operation in sight, the District OF
Columbia Workmen's Compensation
Commission has turned its attention
toward securing protection for EN-
ployes in this city for another year.
Deputy Commissioner Robert J..
Hoage today warned all employers
that they must renew insurance
policies protesting their employees
before July 1. or face $1,000 fine
or a Jail sentence.
Since the commission began to
function July l.. 1923, it has passed
on $4,000 cases. Hoase believes
that before the year is over the
number will have passed the $4,000
mark.
1895 File Returns
Thus far this year 1895 en-
ployes have filed insurance returns
with the commission, Hoage said.
At the start of last year, Hoage
declared, he was exceedingly lentent
with Violators of the compensation
act. Then the law was new and not
many were familiar with 1t. En-
ployers were given every possible
opportunity to take out insurance
several times, Hoage pointed out.
Despite this there were many who
held out and Hoage's patience be-
came exhausted several weeks ago.
He ordered his agents to make a
widespread roundup of all persons
who had not taken out compensa-
ton insurance.
Score Of Cases Prepared
More than a score of cases were
prepared for prosecution by the
District Attorney. Insurance policies
were Immediately taken out by all
involved. Hoage said.
This year different policy win
be followed. Hoage will allow all
employers ample time in which to
secure the insurance. Then check
up. will be made and those who
have not complied with the law
will be warned. If this warning is
not needed, Hoage will prepare to
ask the courts for aid in enforcing
the act.

HAvRE DE GRACE, Nd, June 8.
After investigation Of recent sales
OF poison by Hartford county phar.
macists. Patrolman John Kreis, of
the state police. informed States
