FLORENCE ERICKSON, 20,
DISTINGUISHED IN
LEADERSHIP

The Presidents trophy, highest
All club honor in the nation, will
go to Miss Florence Erickson, 20,
member of the Gales Rousers,
who has been named the most
outstanding All club girl in the
United States. A club boy will
also be selected from thousands
throughout the country to receive
a cup from President Roosevelt.
The girl brings a singular hon.
or to Redwood county as only
once before has a Minnesota cam
didate represented the All mem
bers of the country. Four years
ago an Itasca county girl received
the trophy.
Florence will 60 to the national
All club congress in Chicago FRI
day, where the award will be Of
ficially announced. Catherine
Winn of Seaforth, another Red
wood county club member, will
also attend the congress, repres-
enting the state in canning judg-
ing.
That Miss Erickson's selection
as most all-around club girl is
Justifiable, may be judged from
her record. In seven years of
club activity she has completed 80
projects in as many phases of the
work. She has made II demon
strations for local achievement
days and county fairs in bread
baking, cake making, room fur
nishing and health.
Twice she has presented silent
bread baking demonstrations at
the state fair and in 1885 was
grand champion in room furnish
ing judging, also exhibiting in the
room furnishing class.
Evidence of her versatility is
her herd of 16 purebred lambs,
built up from one purebred eve.
Her two major projects have
been room furnishing and Junior
leadership. She organized the
Gales club three years ago and
has served as president ever sim
ce. This year she is secretary of
the county All federation.
Her competence and willing
ness to cooperate in the organi-
zation's work was shown last year
at the All achievement day in
Wabasso. A state requirement for
the bread baking demonstration
was that 20 persons must be en-
tered in order that three trips
from the county could be award
ed. Leaders were worried when
they found only 10 registered for
the project.
Florence was there with her
room furnishing exhibit, but
when she learned that one more
person was needed for the baking
demonstration she offered to fill
in. She won one of the trips.
Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Erickson of Tracy she is
a graduate of Tracy High school
with the class of 1892 of which
she was Salutatorian. She has
lived at home since her gradua-
ton and it was there that Adrian
M. Wilson, county agent and Miss
Lenore Golden, home demonstra-
ton agent found her when they
went to bring the exciting news
of her trip. Characteristically.
she was busy making a display
for a All club meeting.

RADIO SYSTEM, SOUND
TREATMENT OTHER
INNOVATIONS

The latest In scientific "gad-
gets" but gadgets increasing eff
ficiency and saving steps and la
Dor for executives, teachers and
janitors are a part of the plan for
the new Redwood Falls High
school.
Most interesting, perhaps, are
the electric eyes" which will au-
tomatically turn on lights when
outside light is too dim for normal
school activities and turn them off
again when the sun shines so
brightly artificial light is not
needed. These photoelectric cells
which operate motors to change
the light switches will be placed
on two or three sides of the build
ing where light conditions are
different. The candle power
needed at all times can be set on
a switch board. School authorit-
les contemplate saving in elec-
tricity through the switch-off de-
vice.
Also an aid to pupil vision are
the blackboards which will be til
ted backward from a two inch
projection at the bottom to do
away with the reflected glare, so
vividly remembered by adults
who learned the three RS from
boards which sometimes were un-
readable at certain angles.
A radio Contamination system
like that Used in Minneapolis
schools and in a less elaborate sys-
tenn in the Cottonwood school will
also be employed. Each room viii
be equipped with a loud speaker

both OF which will be in contact
with the superintehdent's office

STATE ABC BOARDS

Kinston, April 17-(AP)-M. F.
Morgan, of Bailey, was elected presi-
dent of the State Association of AL
coholic Boards of Control, succeeding
J. B. Williams, of Wilson, at session
of the association here last night.
Some friction over the question of
State or county control of liquor was
reported unofficially to be the reason
for the change in presidents. The
meeting, attended by representatives
of IA boards, was in session until al
most midnight.
Morgan had been secretary of the
association, and T. T. Thomas, of Tar
boro, was elected to succeed him.
Morgan is an advocate of county
control
1--WE believe control by the counties
offers less opportunity for graft and
for political corruption" he said. I'VE
think reasonable profits should be
retained in the counties for revenue
and law enforcement. The business of
the association is to promote unifor-
nifty in conduct of the legalized liquor
business, promote temperance and
promote law enforcement

Federal Judge Halstead L.

he brought his court "into scan

The verdict automatically removed
the 65-year-old jurist from the bench.
Conviction came on the seventh and

NEW PROGRAM FOR
RELIEF IS URGENT
Present PLAIN Disliked On
All Sides; 1t Was Started
Off Wrong
Bv LESLIE EICHEL

Nothing seems to be discussed so
much among the people at large at
present as the persistent disorganiza-
ton of relief.
It is of universal interest-to the
unfortunate, because their life de-
ponds on relief; to the more fortu-
nate, because they pay for it; and to
the politicians, because it has vital
effect on their future.
Relief administration cannot go on
as it is. Decentralization and bank
ruptcy, and eventually revolt, would
occur.
It was started off wrong. No good
is accomplished by trying to place the
blame now. The emergency was inn
mediate, the task was tremendous, the
path untrod previously in the United
States.
But where do we go from here?
More than one anxious politician is
asking that.
A COMMISSIONS?
Relief will be with us for years to
come.
The question has been asked, should
not a permanent commission, compos-
ed of members of both political part
les, with balance of power among
non-political members, such as recog-
nized students of economics and so
cial welfare be provided by congress?
