Age Fails to Halt Him

war started. Since then new con-
ditionS resulting from war and peace
have given tremendous impetus to
the development of shipping
shipping--as well as at times placing
the merchant marine in most
precarious positions.
And through it all, Captain Dollar
has been actively at work straight
ening out the tang1es and helping
develop the Dollar Steamship Com
pany into one of the largest fleets
in the world.
In his Both year Captain Dollar
inaugurated plan he had long
conSidered-a regular round-the-
world passenger service.
Five years later he sees his judg-
ment more than justifed-but in
stead of resting upon his laurels, the
old shipmaster is at work with his
sons, r. Stanley and j. Harold
Dollar, on plans for fleet of the
biggest freight-passenger vessels on
the Pacific, for a io-telephonic
system connecting all Dollar vessels
many other improvements.
Happiness in Work
81 am thankful that I have been
permitted to work these years, for
work brings happiness, and I am
happy" he told the United Press.
my idea of full life is to do my
days work as usual on my last day
on earth and wake up the following
morning in eternity"
Reminded that Thomas A. Edison
said "No man is happy" Dollar
smiled and commented:
81 am sorry Edison feels that way
about it. My own view is that am
in perfect health and can do hard
days work yet. That ought to make
any man happy"
Seldom does Captain Dollar betray
his IS years. His eye is clear, his
handclasp firm and his step sure. A
still stronger mark of youth, how
ever, is his attitude toward time. He
casually discusses what he intends
to do ten, fifteen or twenty years
from now-seemingly with never a
thought that already he is far ahead
of the average span of life.
Praise for Edison
Edison's electric light is the most
important invention of past years,
according to Captain Dollar, but he
thinks the radio, now in its infancy,
is not far behind.
The claim of some moralists that
modern youth flames too much and
that everything is going to the dogs
conflicts with Captain Dollars
views.
Morally or religiously, I don't
think the world is any better-but
is no worse than it was fifty years
ago." he said.
| The famous shipper was born in
Falkirk, Scotland in 1874. Because
of youthful VOW after his father
started drinking, he never has
touched liquor. Starting at II, he
was a machinist in Scotland, and
later a lumberman and camp cook
in Canada. He came to California
in 1887 and engaged in numbering.
Difficulty in obtaining ships
prompted his first schooner pur-
chase. And from that little ship,
'The Newsboy," bought thirty
seven years ago, has grown the
present Dollar line of fifty vessels,

Redwood County has been officially
designated as Modified Accredited
tuberculosis Free County by the
Minnesota Livestock Sanitary Board
and the United States Bureau of An
imal Industry, effective August /,
1929. as result of the last tubercul-
in test of cattle. This means that
the State and Federal Government,
through their representatives recog-
nize that tuberculosis has been era
dicated almost entirely from the
cattle of the county.
Hogs and poultry, however, are
still badly infected with tuberculos-
is. Records of Government Inspec-
tion at packing plants show that As
per cent of the farms producing
hogs are infected with hog and poul-
try tuberculosis. AS means of To-
eating farms where hog and poultry
tuberculosis exists, SO that producers
may be informed of the disease, a
system of tatooing hogs with brand
or mark registered in the name of the
producer has been adopted. Where
the disease is found, recommenda-
tions are made for its eradication.
There will be no quarantine of infect
ed farms or premises and no COM
pulsory regulations of any kind inn
posed.
All the packers will report tuber-
culosis found by Government Inspec-
tion and all, with the exception of
Armour and Cudahy, pay a premium
of 10 per cent per hundred pounds on
hogs tatooed with readable marks

WESTERN ELECTRIC
SOUND SYSTEM TO
Be INSTALLED SOON
Installation of the New Sound
System Will Be Made Within
a Few Days
NEW PICTURES BOUGHT
Redwood Falls Is Smallest City
in Country to Install this
Type of System

Within the past week the manage
ment of the New Dream Theatre of
Redwood Falls made arrangements
with the Electrical Research Pro-
ducts, Inc, of New York City for
the installation of Western Electric
Sound System in the local theatre.
The installation of this better type of
sound system will be made immediate
ly. Because of the indefinite period
required for the installation, ranging
from week to ten days, the an
nouncement as to when the first
talking picture will be presented, will
be made in next weeks issue of the
Gazette.
With the recent remodeling and re-
decorating of the New Dream Thea
tire, in which the whole interior was
completely remodeled, a new floor
put in and new cushion seats added,
Approximately S17,00O.00 will have
been spent to make the theatre one
of the best in the state.
Redwood Falls is the smallest city
in the country that has or will have
installed the up-to-date Western
Electric Sound System The State
and Minnesota theatres in Minnea
polls are equipped with this same
system, which is conceded to be the
best manufactured.
The contract, which is a ten year
lease of the system, calls for all new
improvements made by the company,
to be installed on the machine in the
next ten years.
Although not having purchased all
pictures for the new system, Manager
r. H. Byram stated that he had pur-
chased many including talking pic
ture with Will Rogers; 'The Cock
Eyed World" sequel to what Price

stand free of charge. Monday, the
first day of the Fair there will be no

quired to pay so cents this year and
children from IL to 18 years of age

BOY SCOUTS ENJOY
RAMSEY STATE PARK
Troop No. 36 of SlaytOn Makes
Report of Recent Visit to
Ramsey Park

I That the people of southern Min
nesota come many miles to visit
Ramsey State Park is better describ-
ed from Boy Scout report of a
Slayton troop. The Murray County
Herald carries the following story:
At recent meeting of the Boy
Scouts of Troop No. Sc of Slayton,
Minnesota, accounts of hikes taken
during the summer were handed to
the Scoutmaster One of these ac-
counts is submitted for publications:
An Overnight To The Ramsey State
Park
On July 1lth, we went to the RAM
Sey State Park. 1t is about IS or 80
miles from Slayton. Upon arriving
at the park we cooked supper. We
had the cooks all appointed before we
left; hence there was no delay about
supper. After supper we sat around
the camp fire and told stories and
jokes. We also had what they call
Angels-on- horseback. That night we
dolled up in our blankets and TRIED
to go to sleep. l guess none of us
did. Even the experienced ones could
not, because of the noise some of us
made. The next morning we did
some exploring and climbed some of
the hills around the park. We got all
wet and muddy; but we had lot of
fun anyway. Then we had study
hour, in which we learned some
things about scout-craft. Then came
an exciting kitten ball game. We
had good dinner and then started
home. 1t was very successful hike,
in my estimation. And l am sure we
all enjoyed the hike and the scenery.

Redwood County Cattle Free From
tuberculosis Says Recent Report

and free from tuberculosis. Even
though Armour and Cudahy do not
pay the premium on tatoOed hogs,
these hogs are sold in competition
with the hogs bought by the packers
who do pay premium-hence should
bring the better price.
The operation of tatooing is simple
and effective. Hogs are struck a
sharp blow with the tattoo instrument
which imbe}s needles in the form of
certain letters in the fat hog These
letters are Then readily seen after
slaughter. A mixture of lamp black
and commercial glycerine or heavy
lubricating oil is brushed on the
points OF the needles as the
hoes are marked. The cost of a
guaranteed instrument complete with
brush and lamp black is about $500.
The following Regulations received
from w. A. Peck, Livestock Commits
sioner, South ST. Paul, govern the
payment of the ten cent premium as
voluntarily paid by the packers.
l. The premium will be paid as
offered by certain packers to those
producers of hogs residing in accred-
tied counties in whose name a per-
manent mark or brand has been as
signed and registered by the Live
stock Commissioner at the market.
2. Application for such registered
brand may be made direct to the

FORCET-ME-NOT DAY
SET FOR SEPT. q
Sale of Flowers to Be Offered
in Redwood Falls to Help
Disabled

In the Meuse-Argonne Forest, elev-
en- years ago, the last big decisive
push of the World War was fought
and won by the Allies. On Argonne
Day, Saturday, September 2Sth, the
Disabled American Veterans of the
World War will enlist the aid of the
general public in waging the battle
for justice still being fought by thous-
ands of unfortunate disabled veter-
ans whose claims for government
treatment and compensation have
been denied because of the defcien-
cies of the law or of the evidence SUBJ
mitted by them.
On that day Forget Me- will
be offered for sale in every large
town and city throughout the State
of Minnesota, as well as throughout
the nation, to a grateful people who
have not yet forgotten their war
time promises that nothing would be
too good fir the returned soldier.
In Redwood Falls the sale of For
get-Me-Nots will be in charge of Mrs.
Fred Macs as chairman, with Mrs.
Vern Pryor and Mrs. Rex Miller act
ing as assistant chairmen, and with
girls from the Camp Fire assisting
her in offering every person in Red
wood Falls to help the living disabled
by wearing a Forget Me-Not on that
day.
'Only the generosity of those who
honor the dead by remembering the
living is to determine the price of
each Forget-Me-Not," said Mrs. Macs,
the local For,et- Me-Not chairman.
II believe it would be absured to at
temples. n.isIe a price, for the person
who can only afford dime is just as
much entitled to wear the Forget Me-
Not as one who is willing to give a
ten dollar bill. l hope that the citiz-
ems of this community will show
these disabled men by their generosi-
ty that they have not forgotten, and
will thereby enable them to carry on
their wonderful work of aiding un-
fortunate, needy and disabled veter-
ans who would otherwise became a
burden upon their relatives or their
local community. BY assisting dis
abled men to help themselves. We
also help our own community and
convert community liability into a
community asset. Help us to help
the disabled men to help themselves" T"
