WiCkersham, Alaskan, Plans
Bill in Congress to Fix a
Flying Channel to the East

The successful flights of the
Lindberghs and Post and Gatty in
blazing air trails between the
United States and Asia may be
followed by a congressional in
vestigation of the feasibility of
joining the two continents by air
mail, it was disclosed today.
Reports that Lindbergh Is map
ping a new air mail route are
secuted here, but James Wicker
sham, delegate to Congress from
the Territory Of Alaska, said he is
considering the introduction of a
bill for the establishment Of such
a route.
Congress to Hear Them
This, he declared, would be the
first step in what he believes a
certain development in aviation in
the future. Wickersham plans to
ask congressional committees to
invite Lindbergh, Post and Gatty
to appear next winter and outline
their experiences in Asiatic flying.
Mr.. Wickersham said:
"The air route is not as haz-
ardOuS as many believe; GER
tainIy it is not as hazardous as
a flight across the North At
lantic' Ocean.
"The great circle route from
Europe to Asia cuts right
through Alaska. It is easy to
reach Alaska, and flying al
ready is firmly and safely
established there.
Sc Miles Of Ocean
"If the Bering Straits are
crossed at Nome, there is an
ocean flight of but Sc miles on
the entire aerial journey to
Asia and Europe. There are
several routes through Asia.
While Lindbergh could have
flown entirely above land, he
hoped from Nome to Cape
Navarin, and then Skirted the
Siberian coast.
"a direct route, which in
vOlved much ocean flying, also
was taken by Post and Gatty.
I'm Asia the route could fol-
low the Siberian Railroad into
northern and central Europe"
or it might cut through the
Kuerile Island to Japan"

Q massage and during the day
he will drink the waters of the
hot springs under the direction
Of his physician.
He was told to go to bed at

Due to the mayors popularity
It will be difficult for him to
obey his doctors prescription of
10 days Of absolute quiet.
Yesterday, the mayor. and his

We went uptown to get some
candy. It was a Hershey bar. He
ate the candy but he didn't know
what to do with the paper. So he
threw it down on the street and for
got there was some candy on it.
The wind saw the paper: It said,
"This is not very nice. l must pick
of the paper. But some stuck tight.

of paper. When he got that up he
was all out Of breath.
A little birdie saw the wind trying
to blow up the paper. He said, 81
will help the wind. I will pick it up
with my BILL" So he picked up most
of the paper. But some stock tight.
So he couldn't get the rest!
Then the street cleaner came along
with hose. The little boy saw all
this because he was peeking around
the corner of the building. The
street cleaner tried to get the sticky
paper off, but he couldn't do it. So
the street cleaner walked on.
Soon a street cleaner with a brush
came along He started to sweep the
paper but he couldn't get it up. So
he picked it up with his hands and
threw it into the basket.
The little boy went home. He
thought, "I'll never do that again be-
cause it makes so much work for
others" And he never did.

TRI-WEEKLY SERVICE n
FROM SLEEPY EYE TO
MARSHALL LIKELY

There are rumors that the G. & N.
w. Ry. has not given up the idea Of
putting the Marshall line on a tri-
weekly basis, that is, making trip
from Sleepy Eye to Marshall one day
and back the next, according to the
Morgan Messenger. Morgan is very
much interested as this arrangement
will cancel the star route service
which connects with the train at
Wayburne every afternoon. Further
more, such schedule may have a
far-reaching effect for it would great
ly disturb the mail service to the
towns on the Marshall line and when
the tri-weekly service was first pro-
posed the superindent of mails came
out from st. Paul and visited Morgan
and towns on the Marshall line, and
stated that he proposed to recommend
that in the event the tri-weekly
schedule is put in effect, star route
mail service be inaugurated between
Marshall and Sleepy Eye. This would
do away with mail service on both the
Redwood and Marshall branches.
Night trains would be connected with
at Marshall and day trains at Sleepy
Eye. In some instances, mail service
would remain the same, but in others
it would be poorer. Since several
towns protested against curtailed
service, a hearing before the Rail-
road and Warehouse Commission
would be necessary before a change
is proposed.

JUNIOR HIGH
Freshmen Notes

FRESHMEN MUGS
Mr.. Brown has kindly made an out
line to lessen the work of our review.
We really should get good marks for
the work he has put into it.
The study of factoring is still the
''big problem" in the Algebra classes.
We are all making projects on the
"Merchant of Venice" or finishing
reading "Ivanhoe." Both stories have
held the interest of the class.
The Latin classes are reviewing the
material they have learned through
out the first semester.
The Home Economic classes have
finished their dresses and will soon
learn to be good cooks.
School Jokes
And then we have Tubby Brand
who bought two seats for solid COM
fort at football game and found
that they were at opposite sides OF
the field.

Debate

Success crowned the efforts of tn,
Redwood Falls affirmative debat,
team when they met the Sacret
Heart debaters last Wednesday eve
ming. The debate scheduled to star
at 7:45 did not get into full swing un
til 8 o'clock when Margaret Smith
fired the opening gun.
Although the decision was unani
nous for the affirmative team the
negative team of the Sacred Hear
High School must also be compli
mented because they brought out
some very good points.
The chain store question proved to
be a very popular issue, for very
good crowd responded to the adver-
Using.
Our next debate will be with the
Olivia affirmative debate team. We
hope Redwood will again turn out. A
good argument is expected.

First Grade
Miss Reinke
Out of the discussions about Christ
mas shopping and Christmas plan
ming, the first grade originated unit
of work on Courtesy on the Street"
It was suggested by one of the chill
dren that shoppers did not always
act in a courteous way on the streets.
Definite instances were given to prove
this fact. The children formulated
definite points on which they could
check themselves in order to find out
if they were courteous on the street.
These points are given in the order
that the children gave them.
1. We will speak to our friends
when we meet them. We will call
them by name.
2. We will not throw paper on the
street.
8. We will not block the sidewalks.
4. If we bump someone, we will say
Pardon Me-"
5. We will cross the street only at
crossings.
6. Boys will tip their hats when
they meet the ladies.
z. We will not push people.
8. We will not leave playthings on
the sidewalks.
In connection with this phase of
the work Thomas Gold made up a
very interesting conduct story about
'The Wind and the Paper"
The Wind and the Paper
Once there was little boy and his
mother who were very poor. His
father had gone away but when he
came back they were very rich.

Seventh Grade
Our Geography so far has beer
the most interesting work for 1881
We are studying about Mexico that
romantic country that lies South Of
the Rio Grande.
The assignments of our history
classes consist of the review of the
Revolutionary War.
Something that now holds our in
terest are the regular conversations
about the sports or books we like.
Rate of interest is the new part of
arithmetic we are now studying.
Eighth Grade
A scene in our history class would
reveal a group of pupils studying
hard. Since test on the Civil War
is about to be taken, we are all re-
viewing this phase Of history with
vigor. We want high marks as the
result of our studying and if no one
lies down on the job we will get them.
An onlooker in English class would
find us studying propositions. 1t is a
rather difficult part of English work
for us but it only makes us study
harder.
Anyone visiting our reading class
es would be very interested specta-
tor, as we are studying Whittier's
great poem, "Snowbound."
A picture of our arithmetic class
would find US studying plane figures,
their areas and their perimeters.
Many new and difficult figures are
presented for study The farther we
advance in mechanical drawing, the
more we like it. It is very interest
ing.

Grades one to six in the Lincoln
building have begun Courtesy Pro-

and a marked improvement in the
conduct of the children has been

To develop the project, the teachers
have used the following procedure:
1. Taken an inventory of the chill
dren's positive conduct qualities.
2. Also one of their negative quail
ties.
8. Acquainted the children with de-
sirable conduct qualities.
a. Planned a reading program for
each grade to emphasize and enhance
these good conduct qualities.
5. Planned to develop at least one
morality play in each grade.
