| Will Retire
Photographer Here 4S Years
Plans to Travel; Is
"a Years Old

The death last week of Mrs. N.
3. Andersen will mean the termin-
alton or disposal of a business
which has been in existence in
Redwood Falls for 48 years.
Unable to carry on his photo
graphy business alone, Mr.. Ander-
sen, now "a, announced this week
that he plans to retire and hopes
to be able 20 sell his Third street
studio. Several parties are inter
estei in purchasing the business,
he said, and an agreement with
one of them may be reached short
ly.
I'm no spring chicken any,
more," the octogenarian, who has
made Redwood Falls his home sim
ce 1881 except for seven years
spent in Florida, commented Tues
day.
1--we been in this business for SO
years, five in Iowa." he added,
"and l guess that's long enough
stretch for anybody to do any one
thing. With Mrs. Andersen gone
now | can't do the work alone.
Even the cat misses her and wan
ders around the house looking for
her"
Despite his SO years spent in
taking and developing photo
graphs, Mr.. Andersen has dabbled
in long line of other trades.
Numbered among his professions
are railroading, farming, sale of
farm machinery, artesian well
drilling, tree planting, lumber
lacking in the Wisconsin woods
iand hotel work, also in Wisconsin.
I'D like to travel about visiting
the places l was in during the ear
.ly days and see how they have
changed" is the way Mr.. Ander-
sen, possibly the oldest active
photographer in the state, stated
his plans for the future, ''but
would continue making Redwood
Falls my headquarters. l also
have lot of property to look af-
ter" Mr.. Andersen owns half
section of land south of the Black
Hills in South Dakota, six city lots
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, two
other lots in the same state and
two more in international Falls.
ms retirement would also mean
tnat Redwood Falls would be
without the services of a weather
man, unless someone else takes
lover the position. Mr.. Andersen
has recorded Redwood Falls tenn
;peratures for 16 years.

Local Men Named

Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh,
the famous flier, is 'tops" among
10 boys in the fifth, sixth, seventh
and eighth grades of the Redwood
Falls school, who gave him the
highest number of votes of any
person in a "hero" poll by The
Gazette in which 100 youngsters
in the four grades participated.
Colonel Lindbergh, however, re-
ceived strong competition from
Frank Buck, the "bring 'em back
alive animal snarer and Babe
Ruth, the Sultan of Swat, both of
whom polled nine votes each. The
only two other celebrities to re-
ceive any appreciable recognition
were George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln, with four votes
apiece. Two boys selected their
fathers. In all 81 idols were NAM

Aviation proved to be the most
popular profession, % boys ex-

not connected by relation ties to
their admirers who were among
the "heroes" were w. L. Hardy
and A. C. Burmeister. Jack Rob-
inson, local pilot, was also named.
Many of the boys fell down on

3Cars Crash
at Lamberton
Iowa Car Struck Twice i'm
Rear by Storden Cars;
10 Persons Involved

Lamberton-Ten persons mar
rowly escaped death or serious in
juries here Sunday Afternoon
when two cars, said to have beer
racing, collided with a third on the
bridge at Kuhar park. Woodrow
Jensen of Storden and two other
young men from Storden were il
one car while three young women
also from Storden, were in an.
other.
In the third were Mr.. and Mrs
F. o. Griffen of Hampton, Iowa
who had driven here to spend the
weekend with Mr.. Griffen's par,
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. C. E. Gritfen
The elder Mrs. Griffen is a semi.
invalid and was enjoying her sec,
ond venture outside her home
since Thanksgiving when the acci,
dent occurred.
Driving slowly to protect his
mother from any rough places in
the road, Mr.. Griffen was crossing
the narrow park bridge from the
north when the Jensen car crashed
into his car from the rear and
then struck the bridge railing. The
Griffen car had been in the clear
but a second when the car con-
tanning the young women also
crashed into it from the rear.
According to Mr.. Griffen, the
cars had been passing and repass-
ing each other as they careened
down the hill. He believes pass
engers in his car owe their lives to
the fact that it was a Packard, a
particularly heavy make.
His mother was injured about
the head and it was two hours be-
fore she realized what had hap
pened. His wife was also injured
about the head and shoulders and
he and his father suffered from
shock. A hollow in the drivers
seat indicates how violently he
was thrown against it. Jensen
sunered several cracked ribs when
hurled against the steering wheel,
which was torn off.
The back end of the Packard
was caved in and the whole car
sprung so badly that the doors
VIII not close. 1he other cars also
were badly damaged.

ton and the French English Amer
ican agreement were largely precip-
itated by the Leagues prior confer
ence on these subjects last September.
The spectacle, which we now have
had for three years, Of many coun-
tries practically intrusting (even pro-
visionally and with the right to
withdraw at any time) the internal
value OF their respective monetary
units to the tender mercies Of an
other country. is surely one Of the
most astounding in all history. No
one yet knows exactly what the pound
sterling has been and few seem even
to care. It has not been gold. It
has not been gold since September,
1891. It is true that most people ex-
pect 1t eventually to be gold again.
But those best informed, as far as I
can discover, do not. So far, at least,
1t has been managed paper cur
rency.
Wha. has been the criterion for its
management? The same as Sweden's,
market basket" representing con-
sumption goods? Perhaps there was
no criterion at all! In that case,
somebody has had the power to initiate
or debate at his discretion!
Ross Manager Of Pound.
Sir Frederick Leith Ross (who pre-
pared the way for China's great step
in abandoning the silver standard for
q managed currency is said to have
been manager in chief Of the pound
sterling and therefore, indirectly,
manager in chief Of most Of the none
tary units Of the world. Associated
with him were said to be Sir Otto
Niemeyer Of the Bank of England and
Sir H. A. Siepman, in charge Of the
British stabilization fund. 1t is also
said that these three men employed
as an unoficial brain trust" such
economists rs Stamp, Keynes,
Hawtrey. Robertson, Harrod and Cole.
II all this, or most Of it, is true, the
monetary units of the world have
been in good hands and If the same
policies are now to be followed by the
United States. England and France,
these monetary units will not suffer
either from great imitation or great
defiation.
But how has it come about that so
many other countries have let Eng
land manage the purchasing power
Of their monies?
A partial answer is to be found in
what have called "the money IL
lusion." These countries. apparently
trusting England so much, were not
definitely conscious of doing so at all.
They do not think much in terms of
an index number Of purchasing power
They have the almost universal
illusion that their own money is al
ways stable in their own country. The
only thing they see clearly is the un-
stable foreign exchange. They see
foreign exchange daily quoted and
they know how vital is its stability
to exporters and importers. II, there

which they have to pay Cor receive)
for the British pound and other
foreign monies can only be pegged,
they are not much troubled about
anything else. And as they, not Eng
land, have done this pegging. they
think that they. not England. have

done the managing of their own
monsy.
And SO, the sagacious Englishman
has been managing other countries
monies without their being more than
half aware Of the fact! England has
let these other countries get what they
insist upon. the relatively unimportant
external stability, while a. the same
time providing them with internal
stability, which is, in general, far
more important e-en II the bene.
ficiaries don't realize the fact.
English Way Of Doing Things.
This is typically the English way OF
doing things. England does not blast
the hopes Of those who want to go
back to gold nor Of those, on the other
hand, who want q market basket"
unit. She simply goes ahead and de-
pends on her record. This record so
far is good-over year Of both kinds
of stability, external and internal, for
all sterlingaria.
And now, so it appears, the United
States and France are sharing with
England the responsibility of being
trustee of the worlds monetary values.
All three must know that II they ever
cease to give internal stability some
important nations will surely break
their tie to the pound. the dollar or
the franc. and so sacrifice external sta.
bility. The trustees can scarcely af-
ford to let this happen, certainly not
England.
Some fine day, perhaps years, per-
haps decades from now. these money
trustees may point to a long record
Of stable money lin both senses and
say to the world: Why go back to
a fixed-weight gold Standard" Then
some people may wake up to the fact
that one of the most momentous
changes in all history has been
wrought almost unbeknownst - a
change from. on the one hand. none
tary units consisting of fixed weight
of gold and left to the haphazard in
fiuences of mining and banking, to, on
the other hand, monetary units rep
resenting general purchasing power.
But when that time comes. the tradi-
tionalists can scarcely object, for they
will then find a tradition built up
against a fxed-weight gold standard.
England will then have led the
world quietly off the gold standard
just as a century ago she led it onto
the gold standard.
But whether this new goal Of world
monetary stability is actually reached
and kept will, from now on. depend
more on the United States than on
England. Our huge stock of gold
gives us the whip hand. The only
great impeachment which seems to me
very likely to intervene to prevent our
reaching this is world war.
If that war. now threatening, can
be put of long enough SO that stable
money may provide milieu for eco
nomic, social and political conditions
to become stable. too. it may possible
be put of indefinitely, especially if
other and more direct means Of war
prevention be also applied.
