RECEIPTS FROM
GAS LEVY CUT
Population Growth SIaSheS
Communities Share.

Although there was slight differ
ence in the total amount of gasoline
tax money distributed to cities,
counties and towns due to the
month-early distribution, the total
each community received was re-
duced largely because of population
growth and increase in road mileage.
This was the answer made by
William Cosgrove today in explain
ing to numerous local officials the
drop in funds from the 1880 dis
tribution CoSgrove was in charge
of the fund distribution in the of
flee of State Auditor Floyd E. Will
hanson.
Last year the cities and towns
fund was distributed on the 1920
census basis and this year on the
1880 basis, with 100000 increase in
population shown. Result was that
the per capita this year was but
48 cents, compared with So cents
last year.
Mileage increased 1000 miles and
cut the county distribution rate per
mile from $36.28 to 1884 Cosgrove
explained.

DR.. Wilson held in his hand an

This" he said, 'is the sacred
thirst pledge. It is based on the
pledge Of great prohibitionist Of
100 years ago-Father Theobald
Mathew, a Capuchin friar. This
little card is now being produced in

The sacred thirst pledge already

Minus its preliminary statement
regarding the effects of liquor and
the necessity for loyalty to the Con-

Spirit, never to drink Intoxicating
liquor or to use any narcotic or
opiate, and that I will, through life,
exert my utmost endeavors to pre-
vent their sale and use by others. p"
Sacred Thirst Explained
Reference to the sacred thirst
recalled Father Mathew, who raj
lied 100000 persons to abstinence
pledges in the twenty years after
he undertook his crusade in Ireland
in 1928. Father Mathews pledge
contained an exception respecting
liquor for medicinal purposes.

DR.. Wilson explained, lis a Bible
one that shows the example of
Jesus.
And when they were come to
the place called Golgotha, that is
the place of the skull, they gave
him wine to drink mingled with
gall (beer), and when he had tast-
ed, it he would not drink"
Father Mathews visited the Unit
ed States in 1849-5O. The mayor
of New York and a great throng
welcomed him at Castle Garden,
New York.
HOnorcd by Congress
When he arrived in Washington
after obtaining 100000 49, res in
the northeastern states, congress
honored him by a resolution author
izing him to sit as a guest on the
floor of the house Of representa-
tives.
Father Mathews biographers re-
port the success of his southern tour
to New Orleans did not meet the
expectation of his friends"
Further inquiry developed the
reason for this GOODNESS. Father
Mathew had signed an address urg-
ing the Irish in the United States
to us all their influence against
slavery.

was typical of the Hagen of other years.
He was one stroke back of Percy AlliS
with l8 holes left. and Allis handed him
20 to shoot at in that final round.
Hagens answer was a So. When you
have to start a rival l up and shoot
against 10. you can't afford to do any
weakening or slipping or make any mis-
takes This was TYPICAL Of the Hagen
of several years ago.
Concerning the Future.
THE next amateur championship and
l. the P. G. A. championship will
bring out some interesting stuff,
and it may leave the final ranking for
1891 tied in several knots.
Almost any one of Is or 20 can win
the amateur title, and who would be
willing to pick a winner in the P. G. A.
contest from among Hagen, Armour,
SaraZen. Burke, Cox, Farrell. MacFar-
lane, Diegel and several others who
might me mentioned?
The same is true of the womens
championship to be held at Buffalo,
which promises to be one of the great
est yet held especially if Enid Wilson
comes over, which she hopes to do.
Certainly Hagens return to form has
helped to bolster up the professional
side. If Young Horton Smith can only
work back to his form of 1929 there
will be another colorful figure added to
the list which now has such personali-
ties up in front as Hagen, Sarazen
Armour, Diegel and Cox. Hagen again
will make a desperate effort to win the
P. G. A., where he has walked in front
so many times. And while a fine medal
player. match play has been his main
strength.
