meet. He bettered his regional

Hutchinson placed first with 55

the points gained by Redwood were
won by Cuff. Jack Lauterbach, who
entered the javelin event, failed to
place.
In one of the best regional meets

the athletes at Hutchinson displayed
their ability as track and field men
by breaking four records and nearly
establishing more.
High Jumps $40
Cuff entered four events and won
them all. He threw the javelin 158
feet, one inch; heaved the shot Al
feet; broad jumped 20 feet, 10 inches
and high jumped five feet, ten inches.
In the high jump, Cuff eliminated the
rest of the entrants at the 81 mark,
and kept on going up until the bar
read six feet. The actual measure
ment of the pole was little over
$40.
Prior to the regional tournament,
Cuff suffered for a week from sore
arm which he received at New Ulm.
He was unable to practice strenuous
ly during the week or do his best in

it over 1859 feet. He threw the shot
nearly 43 feet at New Ulm.
Gains 20 Points
Cuff finished first with an individ-
ual score of 20, Dollarheide of Monte
video was second with 16 points and
Thompson, also of Monte, third with
Is.
Wards showing was better than
last year when he won Is points and
was selected as the outstanding ath-
lete of the meet.
Three men at the meet threw the
javelin over $50 feet and three broad
jumped over 20 feet before Cuff was
declared the winner. In practically
all of the events, competition was
keen.
Shelf from Hutchinson heaved the
discus 1913 feet for a new record and
Dollarheide set a mark in the high
hurdles. In the high jump, the Red
wood Falls district finished in one
two-three order. Cuff was first and
two New Ulm men finished second
and third.
So far this season Cuff has won
nine firsts, broken five records and
taken one second to make him the
outstanding track man in the region.

Indians Still Hold Center
of Child Reading Interest
But Blood and Thunder.
TomahaWk- WELDING
Tales SuppIanted.

Indians still hold the center of the
stage in the reading of the younger
generation.
Like their predecessors, the pres
ent-day children have a primitive
and youthful enthusiasm of stories
of the red man, according to reports
from the Riley room of the central
library.
But the locale has changed. No
longer are the blood and-thunder
tomahawk- welding Indian tales of
the pioneering frontiers offered to
children. The stories are now given
a modern setting and told about lit
tie Indian children of today.
Last year the story of Navajo
Indian boy, Waterless Mountain, by
Laura Adams Armer, won the New
berry medal as the outstanding chill
dren's book.
% This year a popular Indian story
is The Pack Train Steamboat" by
Margaret Is. Thomas.
1t is a Peruvian tale whose plot
centers about the construction of
the first steamer to navigate the
waters of remote Lake Titicaca,
the highest lake in the world.
A small Indian lad helps carry
the parts of the steamer across a
narrow mountain path over the
Andes. The steamer, originally
constructed in England is brought
by ship and then by pack train to
this lake in South America with
every piece marked and numbered
for reconstruction.
Other Indian stories which the
public library recommends as in
teresting and suitable for children's
reading are Juan and Juanita, .
by F. G. Baylor; THE Dragon Fly
of zuni' by Aida Malkus; 1.-THE
Eagles Nest, by Isis Harrington, and
The Navajo Indian Book" by
Dane Coolidge.
These stories are available at the
central library or through branch
Libraries throughout the city.

displays which were set up in the
various classroomS.
The garden project furnished the
pupils with work in nature study,
arithmetic and social service. They
learned proper planting and care of
the various products and means of
combating pests.
The arithmetic class laid out plots
for pupils, and any persons in the
neighborhood who wished to plant
gardens. Patrons of the schools who
were unemployed we're allotted some
of the space.
Flowing of the gardens during the
summer was done by snade-work
men using a school tractor.
Several hundreds persons attend
ed the program held last week by
the teachers and the school Parent
Teacher Association, at which the
harvest of the various gardens was
celebrated.
The garden club plans similar
