Who Rocked the First
Cradle?

Who rocked the first cradle? I'm
curious to know.
Who croOned the first lullaby, so
softly and low?
Who wearily but lovingly her lone
vigil kept
Beside the crib wherein her first
born sweetly slept?
This is a perplexing question. but
there's another as deep:
Who rocked this little mother in
her infancy to sleep?
For. unless by false reasoning I've
been beguiled.
This little mother herself was at
one time a child.
Where was this first cradle? is
what mystifies me-
Did Il swing from the limb of some
great lofty tree?
Or was ii down on the beach. where
the surf's jealous roar
Created a Wild din as the playful
waves kissed the shore?
Was it in some gloomy cave. where
the mothers fears were increas-
ed
BY the snarls of wild hOars or some
hungeT-mad beast?
Or perhaps on some mountain top.
well hidden from sight
From all but the eagle. soaring to
still greater height.
We know that more than ten mill
lion years have vanished in
space;
Billions have died. other billions
have taken their place.
Many who amassed great wealth.
many who sought and won
fame
Have passed on to their Maker. ami
we've forgotten their name.
Many yet unborn will. no doubt,
take the same trend.
But the successes like the failures
must all die in the end.
And despite countless volumes Cf
quite informative history.
The origin of our race still remains
a complete mystery.

BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

MOST of those who bear the name
A'A of Vail, Veal or Veale in this
country are descendants of Thomas
Vail, head of an ancient house in
Gloucestershire, England. He came
to New England in l640 and was a
resident of Salem, Mass. Later he
removed to Southampton, Long Island,
and was one of the founders of
Westchester, N Y, where he served as
a magistrate.
When the wave of emigration swept
over the Northern and Eastern States
many families moved southwark and
westward, and among them were the
Walls. Some of them settled in New
Jersey. and from there they scattered
into Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia and
many other States. In the Southern
States the name is usually spelled
Veal, Veale.
The ancestry Of Thomas Vail, the
American founder, can be traced to
Gilbertus Viel, who lived in 1866, the
time of William the Conqueror's VIC
tory over the Saxons in Britain.

S. South naturally believes that

Advocating that personalities,
characters and regulations be left out
and that issues and principles be
stressed in the next campaign Emil L.
Regnier of Marshall addressed a
group of Farmer-Laborites at meet
ing Tuesday night in the Wabasso
public school.
Other business included the report
of committees, discussion of future
meetings and talk on highway con-
struction and maintenance by Charles
Motif, assistant chief engineer of
maintenance with the state depart
ment.
After wildly picturing scenes at
the stavs slsention held several days
ago andsreviewing the entire proceed
ings from the hcaucusses to the final
meeting, Mr.. Regnier urged united
support for Floyd B. Olson for an
other term as governor.
"Do not let the Republicans, who
will wave red flag before you signi-
flying danger because of the platform
adopted at the convention, scare you.
1t really is nothing different. 1t will
again be a battle between monopoly
and the people of the state"
He advised the voters to vote a
straight farmer-labor ticket, not stop
ping with governor and lieutenant
governor, and to vote for progressive
senators and representatives. He
lauded Frank Romberg of Sleepy
Eye, state senator from Redwood and
Brown counties, for his voting in the
senate and advised his reelection.
Il am glad to see that the Republic
an party is coming out of it's SLEEP"
he said, "and is basing campaign on
issues and principles instead of tear
ing characters apart in an attempt to
get other men elected"

ative-at-large from Redwood and

berg of Sleepy Eye is endorsed by the

STOCKTON in RACE
FOR LEGISLATURE
Pease Asks Reelection, Rebel,
GOblirsch Candidates for
County Treasurer

X. w. Stockton, insurance man and
former Redwood Falls High school
coach, filed late Tuesday for the office
of representative from Redwood
county at the state legislature.
Mr.. Stockton is graduate Of Gus
tavus college at St. Peter where his
athletic record was outstanding. He
was successful as coach, taking a
basketball team to the state tourna-
ment in 1880. In his first venture in
politics, he will oppose l.. j. Colberg
who has served two terms.
Primary elections were assured in
two more instances this week when
E. A. Pease filed for reelection as
county commissioner from the fourth
district and one candidate filed for
county treasurer and another an
nouced his intentions of doing so.
Henry Goblirsch, Wabasso grain
buyer, filed late Monday to oppose
A. P. Falk who is seeking a fourth
term as treasurer. Elmer Rebel,
Redwooa Falls high school graduate
now residing in Shutdown township,
announced Monday that he also will
be candidate for the office.
Mr.. Pease, who is seeking fourth
term, is opposed by Harry Hoffman
and C. L. Maurstad who seek to re-
present Redwood Falls on the board.
Mr.. Rebel will be delayed from fill
ing for several weeks because he has
been attending the University of
Minnesota and is required to be in the
county 80 days before entering his
name. He is junior in the school of
business where his attendance was
made possible through government
help. Mr.. Rebel, who is now 81, has
been crippled since he was seven
when he suffered an attack of infan-
tile paralysis.
