Marking OF Baby

No Possible Mechanism Is Known by Which Such a
Thing Can Be Achieved, Doctor Says

"The usual and probably correct
explanation of a fancied connection
between a birthmark and an incl
dent in the mothers life while she
was carrying her baby is that it is
a coincidence only.
"Holy Babies"
"There are many stories Of de-
liberate attempts to mark babies,
especially in the days of religious
fervor, and women are said to have
had the sign of the cross burned on
their bodies 90 that they naigh have
holy babies so marked But there
is no record so far as / know that
anyone ever succeeded" i#,,
Then there is the story of the
expert witness in court who recog-
nized that the microscopic section
of lung was that of a woman be-
cause it was invaded by a curious
tumor peculiar only to women. That
makes a very good story.
Another piece Of advice in the
chapter called "The Problems of

is disturbed in middle age. Two mel
ancholy specters confront her-the
fear of cancer and bewilderment
over the physiological changes

that not only can she be comforted

both of these conditions can actually
be cured if her doctor is given the

PRODUCING EXTRA RUFFS

WHENEVER YOU LEAD a suit
with the purpose Of producing a
ruff by your partner, he generally
wants to get you in the lead again
so you can give him another ruff.
To do that, he must guess where
you have a re-entry, unless you tell
him. Sometimes you can convey a
clear message about the entry by
means of the particular card you
lead for him to ruff. If it is fairly
high card, it indicates a desire for
lead of the higher-ranking Of the
other two side suits. If it is a low
one, it suggests the lower-ranking
of the two suits.

NEARBY TOWNSHIPS TO
GET ELECTRICITY
LATE THIS FALL

Electricity will be made avail
able in 372 more farm homes of
the community this fall, following
the allotment of $151, 900 by the
Rural Identification administra-
ton to build 800 miles of line.
With the exception of seven
or eight mile line which reaches
into Brown county I'M the Spring
field-Sanborn vicinity and five
miles in Lyon county west of Mil
roy, farms benefited are in Red
wood county.
The tier of townships along the
west boundary of the county are
to get the bulk of the lines, IL
miles being in Underwood in the
north corner, six in Westline
around Milroy and longer sections
in Gales and Springdale. john
sonville, east of Gales, is to have
seven or eight miles of line.
In the Redwood Falls vicinity,
Redwood Falls township will have
IL or IL miles of line and Sheri-
dan, around Seaforth, gets five
mile sector. In the southeast
corner of the county, Brookville
township is to have six mile ex-
tension.
Edward Turner of Clements,
manager of the Central Minnesota
Cooperative Power association,
estimates construction of the new
lines will begin in about six
weeks. The association is to have
a new engineer, who must be
approved at Washington, and it
will take some time to advertise
for bids and let construction con-
tracts.
'We expect to have the lines in
operation by the time snow flies"
he stated Wednesday.
The association is now serving
329 patrons and is concentrating
on getting new customers along
lines already built. With previous
allotments of $4,000, it con-
structed 179 miles of line.
Electricity is furnished by the
Springfield municipal plant, with
whom negotiations are in progress
for a more favorable rate.
The county project is one of so
allotments announced this week
totaling $3,658, 500 in 10 states.
This brings allotments made by

1885 to $229,218,33O, of which

Mrs. Appleton
To Get $4,000
Plus Interest
ORIGINAL APPEAL OF
DEPARTMENT DENIED
TO END OLD CASE

A case which has been long in
the courts and has given report
ers no end of difficulties in UNI
derstanding its involved angles,
let alone strip them of legal
phrases for the benefit of an inter-
ested public, was settled-pre-
sumably finally-in court here
Monday.
Legally the court denied an ap-
peal filed by the highway depart
ment early in 1885 protesting
payment of $4,000 damages to
Mrs. Elsie M. Appleton, then of
Redwood Falls but now of Miami
Beach, Florida. That amount was
set as damages by appraisers APP
pointed by the district court, j.
r. Keefe, d. w. Gold and Duncan
McCorquodale, who felt the pro-
perty had lost half its value
through construction of the Bridge
street bridge and parkway, dedi-
Gated July 4, 1885.
Between the time of that appeal
and its denial this week, however,
has transpired a series of legal
moves which brought the matter
into the political campaign of
three years ago and carried it
to the state supreme court.
Late in 1885 the highway de-
partment decided to acquire the
property rather than pay damages
and made arrangements to pay
$1,000 for the lot, allowing Mrs.
Appleton to remove the dwelling.
This was prevented by injunction
proceedings instituted by three
taxpayers, S. B. Duea, H. C. Wer-
der and A. j. White, who con-
tended the settlement was "whol-
ly unauthorized" and the terms
grossly excessive
In the course of proceedings
the supreme court ruled the high
way department had no right to
buy the property since it was not
on the right-of-way.
Mondays settlement orders the
highway department, now of a
new regime, to pay the $4,000
damages and about $500 interest
earned by that amount since the
original appraisal.
The continuation of the spring
term of district court ended with
the decision. A Lucan accident
case involving the Land O'Lakes
Creamery company and Bert A.
Way was settled out of court.
Daniel Erwin of Walnut Grove
was given an indeterminate sent
ence to the st. Cloud reformatory
Wednesday when brought before
Judge A. B. Gislason on a second
degree forgery charge. Sentence
was suspended, providing he make
good the checks, under rigid par
lole provisions requiring complete
sobriety.
He was arrested on complaint
of c. E. Hanson, Walnut Grove,
on whom he forged a check about
May 10. He also admitted writ
ing two other bad checks, for SIS
and $40, about the same time.

IMPROVEMENTS

Arthur Seifert was elected

ance group at a meeting which
followed a dinner at Hotel Ram
sey Tuesday evening. Lorna Bal
kie was elected vice chairman;
Alden Sheffield, secretary and
Richard Carlson, treasurer.
About Is persons were present
to plan further developments at
Memorial Field.
The group has purchased nets,
tapes and backstops for the clay
courts, wind breaks and has hired
a caretaker. New members are
wanted as dues are the only
means of financing purchases, up
keep and improvements. Imme-
diate projects are the installation
of a bulletin board at the courts
for notices and regulations and
the erection of practice board
for those who are waiting for the
courts.
A series of tournaments is
planned with Marshall, Tyler,
New Ulm and other towns. Plans
are to have tournaments locally,
also, for both men and women.
AS a part of long-term pro-
gram, a committee consisting of
DR.. Gordon Cole, Leo Kurschner
and Mary Lauterbach was APP
pointed to investigate the posi-
bility of installing lights at the
courts.

Marines Haze Landed? Sure
That's Their Job in Service

ssThe Marines have landed and
have the situation well in hand,
is well enough known phrase,
but to many, the actual operation
of the marine corps is quite UNI
familiar. Some interesting facts
about the service were related by
Albert Corbett, home on a 70 day
leave from his station at Hampton
Roads, Virginia.
The Marines constitute cross
between the army and navy. They
travel on ships but are trained in
land technique, SO that they can
be the landing force for the navy
in event of trouble. They are the
only branch of service that can
60 into any country in the world
under arms without its being an
act of war. There are $4,000 men
in all, stationed at points over
the world. Each heavy cruiser
carries about AZ Marines and
battleships carry rs or 80.
Corbett, who has been enlisted
for about Is months, has travelled
quite extensively. He went on the
good will tour recently taken by

MOrganthau Sees
Dangers in Money
Power Curtailment

Washington - (P) = Secretary
Morganthau voiced the admins
tration's opposition to curtail-
ment of President Roosevelt's
monetary powers with an asser-
ton today that, Farmers, BUSH
ness men and laborers had better
start worrying about the dollar if
devaluation authority is not con-
tinued."
At the same time the treasury
again cut its price for foreign sill
yer to 38 cents an ounce as Nor
ganthau announced the price
would be adjusted to that on the
London market.
He said it was necessary to keep
Washington prices adjusted to
London TO prevent dumping of the
metal here by foreign sellers an
ticipating complete cessation of
the US buying program.
Whether the program would be
continued beyond tomorrow mid
night depended upon whether,
and in what form, congress
would finish before that time a
bill extending the presidents
emergency money powers, includ-
ing that to buy world silver and
domestic silver above world
prices.
