Minnesota House Adopts ResOlu-
ton To Open Sessions with
Singing-Slashes Budget
By Martin w. Odland.
Especial to the Gazette)


st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 29.-"Where-
as, it is believed that an occasional
song would be pleasing and interest
ing and helpful to this body; now
therefore be it
Resolved, by the Minnesota house
of representatives that we request
our chaplain, DR.. Frank Doran, to
select few well-known patriotic and
devotional songs and have them
printed, so that each member may
have copy; and be it
Further resolved, that such songs,
when adopted, be used as the occasion
may rise at the opening of the ses-
SION"
When the Minnesota house of rep
resentatives adopted the above resolu-
tion, Tuesday, January 22nd, it per-
formed its first notable act of the
present session and created an inspir-
ing precedent for the more dignifed,
more solemn, but perhaps more pros
aic and worldly-minded senate. The
author of the historic resolution is
Representative o. H. Dahl of Lyle.
So there will be both prayer and
song, as well as oratory, in the capitol
this winter, and if the laws enacted
under such benign influence are not
good laws, helpful, uplifting and pro-
gressive, the people Of Minnesota will
have reason to be kseply disappointed.

SALVATION ARMY
TO OPEN APPEAL
The American Legion of Red.
wood Falls to Sponsor An
nual Service Appeal

The annual home service appeal of
The Salvation Army will be launched
in Redwood Falls, Jan. 81, Feb. 1 and
2, sponsored by The American Le-
gion, with Mr.. Donald Gold, chair
man. The committee appointed for
). the work is made up of the following
Parker Sanders, E. L. Spencer, E. H.
Bollum, L. P. Winter, Gus Nelson and
J. C. Budik.
Commandment and Mrs. S. James
are in the city getting things in readi-
ness for the appeal. Mr.. James is
' one of the Salvation Army workers
who went to France and stayed till
the Armistice was signed; he has a
record of 40 years with the organiza-
tion in nearly all of its departments.
The Salvation Army is entirely de-
pendent on voluntary contributions in
its humanitarian work of uplift, creed,
color, nationality makes no difference
to these tireless workers, the fact of
a person being in need is the essential.
In the last twelve month, two ma
ternity cases have been taken care
of at The Womans Home and Hospi-
tai in st. Paul, from Redwood county,
and it is done entirely free if the
girl has no means with which to pay.
Last year $500 was raised in the
county, and it is hoped that as much
will be realized this year. The Com
mandant is sure that if every body
gets ready with a donation when the
Legion boys call the quota for Red
wood Falls of $500 will soon be rea-
liked, tag day will be arranged on
Saturday with which to finish the ap-
peal. A chairman in each township
has been appointed, and it is hoped
with every one doing his share, that
full quota will be subscribed in the
time given, Feb. 4th to 9th.
The ladies of the Legion Auxiliary
will do the residence district and tag
day.

Water Rent Explained

Gazette, the new city ordinance deal
ing with the rate charge of water
stated that the rate would be 3.3 mills
for the first 5000 feet, % mills for
the second 5000 feet and IL mills

2 mills and all over 5000 feet 1 mill,

There Will be Song, Prayer
and Oratory, Says Odlar,d

Neither branch of the legislature
adjourned over the weekend on
Thursday. Each body held a short
session, Friday, and then left for
Fort Smelling, in response to an invi-
tation from the commandant and
other officers.
AS yet, the reporters who are COW
ering this session of the legislature
can't devote much space to what has
been done but must resort to specula-
ton and predictions as to what will
take place later, in their efforts to
make copy for their papers.
The Budget and the University
The biennial budget of the Big
Three made its appearance in printed
form few days ago, one copy being
placed on every lawmakers desk. It's
a formidable document, almost as
huge as Webster's unabridged, and
I'm inclined to believe that the law
makers are no more apt to go through
it from cover to cover than they are
to read Webster's immortal work.
In a letter accompanying the bud
get, Commissioner A. j. Peterson in
forms the lawmakers that because
proper care of the states unfortu-
mates was the first consideration of
the Big Three in drafting the new
budget they propose to hold down
educational expenditures as much as
possible. Hence the University's re-
quest for $3eo,O00 per year for new
buildings during the next decade is
disallowed. There is no immediate
necessity for authorization of another

Late In 1924 / turned professional.
1t was wearisome work running up
and down ladders Il vas a bod car
rier by day. and then fighting at
night in amateur rings for nothing.
I didn't find IL hard to change.
So I went into the boxing bust
ness with nothing but a fair left
hand, a right cross and much am
bition. But I was lucky. for Herr
Wilhelm Fuchs. a smart manager,
took charge of my affairs.
My first match was with a police
man by the name Of Hans CZapp.
He was a brave man but no fighter.
In the fourth round a right cross
put this fellow TO sleep. The promo
ter gave me $50. ! thought I was
rich.
IN my next six fights 1 was very
lucky. Still not knowing much
about boxing, 1 managed to win
them all b. knockouts. None of
the fights lasted longer than three
rounds.

BY this time I was one of the
best advertised fighters in Ger

OF a boxing magazine. signed me
cred my contract with Fuchs was
illegal. IS l had signed it when
not yet OF age.
NY victories had forced Max
DieckEann. the light-heavyTeiEht
champion OF Germany, to recognize
me as a challenger. A match be-
tween us was arranged.
Dieckmann met me in September,
1926. In that fight he made the
same mistake I had made against
Gaines. He underestimated me. be-
lieving I had no chance to win.
My favorite punch, a right cross,
