Post

The Paul F. Donart Post, Veter.
ans of Foreign Wars, of this city
and the Auxiliary held their an
nual installation of officers in
joint meeting Friday evening in
the Community Club rooms.
J. N. Jackson, who has been
commander Of the local post since
its organization, called the meeting
to order introduced the visit
ing officers and announced the
numbers of the program which
preceded the installation.
The program opened with an in
strumental duet, by Robert Hans
man. 9 years old, and DR.. P. w.
Hanson. The latter played two
selections on the mandolin, and
the former accompanied on the
guitar. Robert has played the
guitar for about two months, and
this was his first appearance in
public. The second number was a
piano solo, "Liebestraum." by Mrs
L. Dolson, and was followed by
banjo solo by DR.. Hanson, with Mrs.
Dolson at the piano. The program
was concluded with a vocal solo
by Mrs. Dolson.
There were visitors present from
st. Cloud, Little Falls, Belgrade
and Staples representing both v.
F. w. Posts and lAuxiliaries. The
officers of each were called upon,
and responded with short talks.
A. w. Nimens, member of the Ma
tional v. F. w. Council, and a men,
Der of Russell Gaylord Post, Min
neapolis, was the speaker of the
evening. He complimented the 10
cal post on it's growth and activity
gram of the National body. He
stated that the first pertained to
that part of the Economy act which
deprived the disabled overseas
veteran from receiving the aid to
which he is justly entitled. A uni
form pension system based upon
the length and type of service and
disability, for all veterans of all
wars, past and future. The second
point involves uniform pension
system for dependent mothers,
widow and orphans and the third
appertains to the immediate cash
payment of the adjusted service
certificates. The fourth is pro-
vision to run aliens, who ARE COM
munistic and wish to overthrow the
social order Of our country by
force of arms, out of the country
to deport them.
The fifth point is against future
wars, and is planned to take the
profit out of war implements. The
organization recommends conscrip-
ton of capital and the war NUM-
tions industry on the same basis as
man-power in the time of war.
The sixth is for liberalization Of
munitions plants, to stop graft and
the fermentation of wars. The sew
enth point is for the purpose of adj
vocating an adequate army and
navy for the protection of our coun-
try.

Eighth of Series of Articles
Written By Public School
Teachers

When your boy or your girl
leaves high school, how well pre-
pared will he be to meet the prob
lens which will confront him?
How intelligently will he cast his
ballot at the polls? How cour-
ageously will he work for crime
prevention, for stability of gov
eminent, for freedom of speech
and worship, for world peace?
The answer to these questions
depends largely upon two things:
his ability to appreciate the part
he can play in the making of his
government, and his knowledge of
that government: its functions,
mistakes it has made in the past
and how to avoid them in the
future, the kinds of legislation
which are beneficial to society
and those which are not.
It is the purpose of the social
science department in the high
school to prepare the students of
today for their places in the
world Of tomorrow. Modern
world history, sophomore
course. provides a comprehensive
background for the intensive
study Of American history, which
is taken in the junior year. These
courses include not merely a
learning Of dates and facts, but a
discussion of problems Of yester-
day which have changed the So
cial or economic aspect Of things,
and problems OF today which ev-

Local Boys in
Football Game
Manchester Frosh Team Defeated
HamIine 1915 Last
Friday

Two of our local boys are al
ready tasting of college football.
Last Friday the Hamline Fresh
men squad played the Manchester
Frosh and lost the contest with
the final score reading 1915.
On the Hamline lineup we found
Coleman Huber, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. w. Huber, and on the Ma
calester eleven, Fay Domke, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Domke.
Both played a dandy game. Smoky
joe" husky little guard of the
Piper lineup, played portions of
the game and turned a fighting
report for the game. Last week
Hamline reported that Coleman
is promising material for the Var
sity next year. Fay played a
bang up game at center for Ma
calester, and was in the entire
contest Fay is a pretty husky
fellow, but the report is that he is
one of the smallest men on the
Mac Frosh team. OVERWHELMED
and perhaps outplayed because OF
it, the Hamline boys were beaten,
but they were not outfought.
This community should be proud
that two such fellows have made
so handsome a start at college
football. and it is a credit to the
Sank Centre game when one re-
CARDS the length of time that foot
ball has been reinstated in this
city. These boys will tangle
again next year, perhaps on the
Varsity squads.

Sank Centre Loses
Football Game $50
Several Changes in Lineup Neces
STATED by Injuries-Wadena
Team Next

Playing the same team that
they defeated last year 40, the
local football team suffered de-
feat last Tuesday evening in a
night contest on a lighted field at
the hands Of Little Falls to the
tune of $50.
Since their brilliant exhibition
against Glenwood, the locals have
had a hard time clicking. Against
Melrose they seemed to go into a
slump which continued through
the Little Falls game. There
were several changes in the line
up made necessary because of in
juries. Bud Carpenter, playing
end thus far this year, was shift
ted to the backfield taking
Browns place, who was injured
in the Melrose game. Keldahl,
who was kept out of the last two
games, was played at Bud Car
penter's end against the Little
Falls eleven
Little Falls scored early in the
game. In a succession of running
P4oyo "11lSlI ACIICu Ll1OIA 11CoI
gains they marched down the
field to score. Sank Centre upon
receipt of the ball resorted to
punting to keep the pigskin out
of their danger zone. In the
second quarter they scored again
and succeeded in piling up two
more in the second lap of the
game. They succeeded in making
only one after point, and the to-
tai score stood $50. In the last
half the Little Falls team was
forced to punt more often, and
the boys made an occasional
squirt in which they nailed the
boys from Little Falls in their
tracks. On one occasion they
STAYED off a sure touchdown
when they held on their one yard
line and gained possession of the
ball. Punting back of the goal
line the local lads drove the rival
eleven back but they came up
fast to score shortly before the
last whistle.
Next Monday the boys wind up
the season with a strong Wadena
team. The schedule has been
changed because Wadena wishes
to have the game on their Arm
istice Day Celebration, and the
game is to be played next Mon
day, the 18th, instead of Friday,
the 9th. This is the last game of
the season, let's help the boys to
go up there and give them a
good ball camel
The following is the starting line
ups of the teams.

Was About as Uusual Sat-
urday-Death Came
Unexpectedly
BURIAL ON WEDNESDAY
First White Child Born in
State of Nebraska-Al-
most 70 Years Old

Henry w. walker, aged TeSlden'
of this city, passed away peaceful
ly early Sunday morning, while IN
his sleep. He had not been i'll
hence his death was a severe shock
to the relatives. Mr.. Walker hao
been around and about as usual or
Saturday and on that day made his
regular trip up town.
Mr.. Walker was born on Novem
Der q, 1864. at Crab Orchard, Ne
braska, and was SO years, IL months
and 81 days old at the time of his
passing. He was the first white
child born in the State of Nebras
ka, and he was the third child of z
family of thirteen. His early boy
hood days were spent in that state
and it was there that he also re
ceived his education.
In 1893 he was united in mar
rage to Miss Lille Rose Alder, in
Nebraska, where they lived until
1908, when with their three sons
they travelled through the West
They spent short time in Oregon
and then went to South Dakota and
took up a homestead. "A portion
of the trip was made by team and
covered wagon.
In 1913, they left Perkison Coun-
tv, South Dakota, and came to
Minnesota, at which time Mr.. Walk.
er purchased the farm home south
of Sank Centre. Mr.. Walker de
cided to discontinue farming In
1925, and following an auction sale
he spent the winter visiting in the
West, while looking for possible
location as his future home. How
ever, he decided that Sank Centre
was more like home to him, hence
he returned and purchased the
house at S1S South Main Street.
where he and Mrs. Walker have
since made their home.
Besides the sorrowing wife there
are three sons left to mourn. They
are: Fred, who is a member of the
firm of Carpenter & Walker, of
this city, and Ray and George, who
reside on the home farm south OF
this city. There are also nine sur
viving grandchildren. Four broth
ers reside in California and he
leaves three sisters who also live in
California.
Mr.. Walker served as a member
of the school board and the town
board while residing in Nebraska
and South Dakota. When he was a
young lad he united with the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, and for
several years was an active mem
Der. In later years owing to the
ill health of Mrs. Walker he has
been unable to attend.
Deceased was a kind husband
and father, and was always ready
to lend a helping hand to his
neighbors and friends. He was a
kindly man, and leaves a host OF
friends who mourn with the bereav-
ed family.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist Church in this city, at
200 o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
with Rev. J. d. Butler, the pastor,
officiating. Mrs. Butler and Miss
Helen Brown sang, "Rock of Ages
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and
"City Four Square" The pallbear-
ers were: George Grundman, Her
man Iwinski, Charles Gray, U. j
Coons, w. H. Barnette and August
walstrom. Interment was made in

Geo. Walker and son, Henry, OF
Sansarc, S. D.. the former a broth
er of Mr.. Walker, were the only
out-of-town relatives able to at
tend the funeral.

STATE HEALTH DIRECTOR Il
BOOSTS STATE SEAL SALE

Recognizing tuberculosis as ma
jor public health problem, DR.. E. r.
Coffey, state director of health com
mends the work of the Washington
Tuberculosis association and urges
the purchase of Christmas Seals to
finance the program Of education
and prevention.
Great progress has been made in
the fight against tuberculosis, but
with 857 deaths during the year of
1888, there is a long way to go be-
fore efforts can be relaxed in this
warfare.
"The Washington Tuberculosi S
association has been a vital force in
the fight and it is sincerely urged
that the association be enabled to
continue it's efforts at even a great
err degree by this years sale of
Christmas Seals now valuable
throughout the state.
Interest in the control of tuber-
culosis is more widespread than
ever before and increased returns
for the seal sale will make it pos
sible for the Association and it's
thirty-four affiliated county leagues
to continue and extend the tubercu-
loSiS program. III

share of the burden have not been
very effective, but Mr.. Hopkins is
hopeful that this can be done, and
that in couple of years or so the
federal government will not have
any direct relief to administer, and
the states will have to take care of
only the unemployable.
Your correspondent can state
with confidence that the president
is heartily in accord with Mr.. Hop
kins, also with Mr.. Ickes and Mr..
Moffett. The president agrees with
hall of those who maintain that the
housing program is the biggest item
in the whole recovery plan, since
by far the greatest proportion of
unemployment is in the building
trades. He is inclined to be a trifle
impatient with Mr.. Moffett for not
having got his organization working
faster, but Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau takes a strong
stand in Mr.. Moffett's behalf.
The one definite thing about this
whole situation seems to be that
the new congress, as soon as it is
organized, will receive from the ad-
ministration a broad plan for eli
minating all relief payments which
do not call for actual, real, con-
structive and important work.
Legislature Trends
President Garner has re-
turned to Washington and is re-
ported to be taking an active,
though under-cover, part in the eff
fort to make Representative Sam
Rayburn, of his own state of Texas,
speaker of the house. 1t is no Sec
ret that the administration prefers
Mr.. Rayburn to Representative Joe
Byrnes of Tennessee, who is the
most active candidate for the
speakership.
Active lobbying is going on al
ready among the returning senators
and members of congress for the
immediate payment of the veterans
bonus, and there are some signs
that the administration may yield
point and propose some compromise
plan, which would provide for an
1901 AC VI 4ACW SNAACAASy w CesAC S0AS +,
of this demand and remove the
matter from the public arena.
That would involve a moderate
amount of currency initiation. The
extreme inflationists are withhold
ing their program for the present.
Senator Elmer Thomas, of Oklaho-
ma, leader of the inflationist bloc,
says they will not make any new
demands unless they think further
devaluation of the dollar, another
increase in the price of silver, and
perhaps some printing-pre money,
are essential to speedy recovery.
More attention is likely to be
focused on new tax measures.
There will probably be a strong
drive for national general sales
tax. No proposals for increase in
income taxes are likely to be made,
however, by the administration, I'M
til after the middle of March, when
returns for 1884 incomes are filed.
