ALL-STARS INDEBUT::
NOSE OUT BELVIEW
Redwood Falls All-Stars Defeat
Belview in First Game of
Season AZ to Al

The Redwood Falls All-Stars, a
new Independent basketball team
making it's debut against the fast
Provident Life team of Belview,
came through with a close win, de-
feating the Belview quint by a AZ to
Al count. The game was played at
Belview last Tuesday night.
The game was won by a last min
ute squirt that gave the Redwood
team the lead at the whistle. At the
half time period the local squad was
on the short end Of 80 to % count.
In the second half the locals slowly
overcame the lead to nose out the
Providents by point.
= The local lineup consisted OF
Stockton and Brown at guard, Wor-
sech and Schmid at the forward posi-
ton and Kickul at center. Arnett
substituted.
Although uncertain at this time, it
is expected that return game will
be played with the Providents in
Redwood Falls on Saturday, Febru-
airy 1. The team management is nego-
tiating for other games throughout
the country with fast teams.
That the Provident team of Bel
view is no set-up can be seen from
the lineup, when such names as Fish,
Donlon, Bobzin, Carity and others ap-
pear. A return game with this team
would be welcomed by the local fans.

Use MORE BUTTER
SAYS FARM BUREAU
Surplus Is Driving Price of
Butterfat to Lowest Level
In Years

Minnesota dairymen will be look
ing for substitute for money if SUBJ
stitutes for their main cash crop,
butter, are not restricted in use. A
huge surplus of storage butter has
driven the price of butterfat away
below last years figures, as the stor-
age supply is now 100000 pounds
greater than year ago." say officers
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton.
eff city folk ate all of the $780,
100000 pounds of oleomargarine that
went onto the market in 1929 to re-
duce practically that amount the con-
sumption of butter, the Farm Bureau
Federation would see no point in TAX
ing the farmers to task in the matter.
But the federation has learned that
so per cent of all oleo sold in the
United States is purchased by farm
ers. And worse, one pound in four
that goes to farmers is purchased by
dairymen. This means that dairy
farmers who are being harmed by
the huge butter surplus, themselves
are using 100000 pounds of oleo.
And 100000 pounds of surplus
butter have forced the price of but
terfat down ten per cent a pound in
the past year.

WABASSO SUFFERS
SECOND HUGE LOSS
IN FRIDAY BLAZE
Franta and LeistikOw Stores
Totally Destroyed by Fire
of Unknown Origin
OUTSIDE DEP'TS. CALLED
Citizens State Bank Building
Seriously Threatened; Second
Fire in Six Months

With the destruction of two store
buildings hast Friday night, Wabasso
suffered it's second serious fire with
in six months. The Franta Hardware
and Furniture store and the Leisti-
kow store were totally destroyed by
a fire of unknown origin, in the
villages most recent disaster. The
loss is estimated between 100000 and
$4,000, which includes the buildings
and the entire stock in each store.
Discovering a blaze in the upper
part of the Franta building at appro-
ximately 500 o'clock Friday night,
several citizens first tried extinguish-
ing it with buckets of water before
issuing general alarm. Because the
blaze looked to be of minor import
ance, this method was used. Even af-
ter the department was called, the fire
was not taken seriously. After many
attempts to extinguish the blaze,
calls were sent in to Redwood Falls
and Morgan, both departments an
swering.
The Franta store was practically
burned down before the Leistikow
building became a threat to the work.
ers and before the out of town de-
partments arrived on the scene. Both
buildings were total loss, with moth
ing saved from the Franta Hardware
and but a small amount of furniture,
clothing and the store books taken
from the Lestikow building.
Several times when the blaze was
at it's height, the Citizens State
Bank building, brick structure, was
seriously threatened, upon one in
stance the cornice work catching
fire, which was quickly extinguished.
So intense was the heat from the
burning structures that window
glasses in buildings across the street
were cracked and had the wind been
slightly stronGer, theseszsame build
ings no doubt would haze been de-
stroyed.
Just six months previous, on Aug
ust II, 1929, Wabasso was the scene
of its first serious fire in several
years when the Farmers Grain &
Fuel Company elevator was totally
destroyed. Although the Friday
night blaze was a greater loss, the
two fires have been an immense loss
to the village. 1t has been stated that
the Leistikow store would be rebuilt
in the spring. AS to the intentions of
the Franta store proprietors, nothing
could be determined at this time.

LOCALS CONTINUE
LEAD IN DISTRICT
Sleepy Eye Taken in by One
Sided Count "a to 5. New
Ulm Here Friday

The Redwood Falls basket ball
team still retains the lead in District
Twenty by virtue of it's one-sided win
over the Sleepy Eye quint at the
Lincoln gym last Friday night. New
er in the running, the Sleepy Eye
boys were decisively beaten by a "a
to 5 count, in which Bravinder, Laid
law and Finn starred.
The visitors made a field marker in
the first half for their only count,
and came back in the last period for
a field goal and free throw, after
substitutions had been made by Coach
Stockton. The game throughout was
uninteresting from the sidelines be-
cause of the one-sidedness; the To-
Gals getting the lead at the outset and
gradually forging ahead and entirely
out of danger of losing.
Bravinder led the local scorers with
three field goals and pair of free
throws, to be followed by Laidlaw
who gathered three field goals and
free throw. Johnson made one of each
variety, with Jaehning, John Finn
and Albright each counted one field
goal.
Next Friday night the local will
battle the New Ulm squad at the
Lincoln school gym. New Ulm, al
though losing one game this season,
is rated as one of the strongest, if
not the strongest team in the district.
In the one game played with New
Ulm in the past two years, the locals
were beaten by a point or two, this
defeat coming IN the district tourna-
ment last year and eliminating Red

He is striking figure on the floor Of

He Is tall and straight. He smiles a

His voice is one of the best In the Sem

be interrupted while speaking-let's it
be known often.
In debate he Is vehement and sar-
castle, yet always polite. He assumes
an air Of Impotence in argument
pleads with questioners to let him de-
velop his side and then he will answer
all objections. To see him and Pat Har-

He works hard, takes his Job serious

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The days Of long curls for girls and
frowsy heads for boys had at least one
compensation. We didn't have to drag
the protesting child to the barber every
few weeks. And without doubt this is
ceremony most mothers view with
positive horror AL the little rewards
and sacks of candy to be shopped for
afterward are usually forgotten when
high chair, swathed to his neck in the
big apron, and then the glittering,
clicking scissors approach his head. II
he doesn't crtnge and scream and de-
mand to be let down he is a strange
child. or his mother has wisely pre-
pared him in advance for just this
moment.
Mrs. T. U. F. has two children to
deal with-twins. Can you tell me
anything to do that will he'll to keep
my little twin boys from going into
she asks. 1--WE go through this ordeal
every three weeks, and all three Of us
are limp when it is over. What shall
I do?"
One thing to be considered when
such a situation arises is what fright
ems the child. In most cases it Is fear
Of the scissors. The mother in her
anxiety to prevent the child's disas-
trouS use Of scissors is very likely to
impress upon him the awful things that
will happen If he uses the scissors.
When he sees the strange man coming
toward him clicking the blades to-
gether all these horrid possibilities rush
into his head, and there isn't much
wonder that he screams. We must al
ways remember that whenever we make
child fearful of any object or situa-
ton we may have to reckon with 1t in
the future. Fear should never be i'm
planted in ehild,s mind. Caution, yes,
but not fear.
would suggest in your case, Mrs.
T. U. F., that you buy each little boy
q blunt pair of scissors to be used
daily. You didn't mention their ages,
but they can cut paper even at years,
and by handling blunt pair Of scis-
sors they will lose their fear of it.
The next time they 60 to the barber
let the boys take their own scissors
along. Having lost their fear of the
scissors, they will feel less distress at
having their hair Shorn.
Too much talk about going to the
barber and use Of the word "cut," which
has such a terrifying meaning to the
child, should be dispensed with. There
IS no particular necessity Of dwelling
on the impending operation. Just let
1t come about naturally. You might
say, Were going to shorten your hair
a little" This doesn't sound nearly as
CORY as cutting" or clipping"

Now, this man. is merely wondering

from that of other nations only in re-

Americans are so accustomed to see

to be interested in philosophy.
Here We have the cue to modern
psychology, which is discoverer of ways
and means of doing these things better
We need not wonder why the bulk of

America. Psychology has natural set

Cake From Home Chocolate Flour

meshes. This chocolate powder she
used as -four In the following recipe,
and had delicious drop cakes:
Chocolate Flour Gladstone and q
quarter cupfuls chocolate -four, half
cupful pastry flour, three-quarter cup
full sour cream. half cupful sugar, one
egg, half teaspoonful baking soda and
one-quarter cupful broken nut meats.
Cream the sugar with the sour cream.
II sour milk is used, butter should be
added to give richness. In this case
cream one tablespoonful Of butter with
the sugar and then add the sour milk
gradually. To either mixture, as given,
beat in the egg yolk. Sift the two
f1ours and the soda together. Sift
again, this time beating the prepared
fiours gradually into the liquid mix
ture. This will make very stiff dough.
Add the broken nut meats, and, lastly,
the egg white, whipped dry.
Drop the mixture in small spoonfuls
onto hot buttered pans and bake in o
quick oven. Seven minutes is time
major part of the flour has been baked
previously. All that is required is for
the drop cakes to set, so that they will
not fall.
Make frosting Of one and a half
tablespoonful rich milk or cream and
enough confectioners' sugar gradually
stirred in to thicken sufficiently to
spread well. Ice the cakes and put O.
nut meat in the center. These make
delicious afternoon tea cakes or those
to serve with iced punch or iced tea or
coffee for evening refreshments.
AS the housewife had both the stale
cake and the sour cream on hand, these
cakes cost practically nothing in fresh
outlay and were different" In a way
homemakers like. It must be confessed
that she waited to make the cakes until
she had sour cream and enough rich
sour milk to combine with the chocolate
flour. It is in such ways the competent
housewife stresses thrift.

putting a valance on the wall above

must be shortened by placing a valance
over the upper part of the window, the

The window in the illustration, how

It is one of those little recessed affairs

The American Mind.

without fear of falling a victim to
the too frequent bombast Of national
pride, I believe that we can honestly
say that modern psychology comes
pretty close to being by-product Of
American ingenuity.
It grew up with democracy, sky
scrapers, subways and all the other
things that mark American industry
and life as something different from
those of the older countries.
Not long ago talked for some hours
with an educated. alert and observing
Frenchman who is making a tour of

grasp the meaning of industry, the rapid
transportation in our cities, the rush
and push of life. We are to him some
thing like busy hill of ants-doing
everything, saying nothing. And this
