Board Hires
School Nurse
FRANCES PRINZ, LONG
PRAIRIE, TO BEGIN
WORK NEXT FALL

Frances Prinz of Long Prairie
has been employed as full-time
nurse for the Redwood Falls
school system, to start work when
the term opens in September.
Her home is in Long Prairie
and she completed the University
of Minnesota public school nurses
training course with the winter
quarter. She has been working at
General hospital, Minneapolis but
is completing the school year at
Sank Centre where the nurse re-
signed to take a position in Iowa.
The first full-time school nurse
to be employed here, Miss Prinz
will have an office provided for a
nurse when the school was built
three years ago. It is next to the
high school principals office and
is now being used as a faculty
mems rest room
She will conduct general health
inspections, admit children to
school after absences because of
ill health, arrange for innocul-
atoms and vaccinations, keep
school health records, visit homes
and assist other teachers in teach
ing health.
Superintendent Reede eGray
who interviewed her in Mime
apolis last week says that the
school is fortunate in getting
such a capable nurse, since the
university only graduates 40 per
year and they are in great de-
mand. Minnesota is the only
school between Ann Arbor, Mich
igan and the west coast to offer
a public school nurses course.
The course requires three years
nurses training and three and
one-half years of study at the
university or five years contin-
uous study at the university.

River Goes
On Rampage
At Marshall
RIVER STAGE HERE
FULL MONTH LATE;
FIRST SEEDING

April snow this morning didn't
bring any May flowers, but the
Redwood river says it's spring, so
spring it is.
The river spilled over the Lake
Redwood dam Friday night, ex-
actly one month late, according to
]. L. Parsons, superintendent of
the Redwood Falls Light and
Power company which uses some
river waterpoWer.
For % years, on an average,
the water has begun pouring over
the dam the first week in March,
Mr.. Parsons says.
The Roaring Redwood" start
ed kicking up in Marshall Satur-
day morning, and before dynamit-
ing had partially controlled it,
had routed one family out of its
house.
H. w. Freter's family had to be
moved out pick-a-back.
The river, which has its source
in the southeast corner of Lincoln
county, generally starts cutting
up when unusual snow and ice
are suddenly melted in the steep
hills of Camden park. This year
the condition was brought about
by the 25-inches of snow that fell
in March and the heavy rains of
last week.
At 4:30 a. m. Saturday, Arthur
Garrow, Marshall street commits
sioner, found the river rising.
BY 8 a. m. he had a crew of
eight men, including two dyna-
miters at the Brunskill road
bridge where there is a sharp
angle in the river.
The whirlpool there causes the
ice to pile up, aided by the bridge.
= Mr.. Garrow and his crew engag-
ed in ice movement all day Sat-
urday and part of Sunday.
Saturday afternoon an observer
from the United States Depart
ment of the Interior, who was at
Marshall to study the little food,
said that the velocity of the cur
rent was about three and one
half miles an hour.
Alfred Dale, who lived in the
Camden park region all his life
until a year ago, and knows the
Redwood like a book, was sus-
picious of the river, and Friday
evening he took a ride to the park
and looked it over. He returned
to Marshall predicting there
would be river trouble in Mar
shall early Saturday morning. He
was right.
E. J. Lindblom was around
town today looking for a boat to
use in the bottoms along the
Minnesota river. He is building
brooder houses for Charles Mea-
ley, who lives mile and one-half
west of Morton, and has found
himself working on a 60 acre is
land formed by flood waters. He
needs the boat to get to and from
the brooder house site.
George Whittet added sign of
spring Tuesday when he seeded
, IL acres of oats in Delhi township
on fall blowing. The majority of
the farmers in Redwood county,
however, do not plan to be in the
fields for a few days.

SHEETS and DEFINE
SENT TO ST.CLOUD
CHRIST F. ROSENTHAL
SENT TO JAIL FOR
CONTEMPT OF COURT

Cecil Sheets, %, Redwood Falls
WPA worker, received an indie
terminate sentence not to exceed
two and one-half years in the st.
Cloud reformatory and Arthur
Define, 26, Springfield, was given
a term not to exceed a year and
six months when the partners in
series of burglaries through
Redwood and three nearby coun-
ties entered guilty pleas before
Judge A. B. Gislason in Redwood
Falls Tuesday morning. e.
Sheriff L. J. Kise plans to take
them to the institution within a
few days.
Two contempt of court cases
came before the judge who was
here for the day only.
Christ F. Rosenthal was COM
mitted to the Redwood county
jail on a contempt count for fail
ure to repay old age assistance
money fraudulently obtained from
Redwood county and Walter Sch
midi. Amiret farmland, was or
dered to pay $270 he is in arrears
for the support of his child, pay
ment of $40 a month having been
ordered in 1887.
Sheets and DEFINE repeated
their confessions of oil station,
pool hall and tavern burglaries in
Redwood, Lyon, Brown and Rem
vile counties in 1888 and 1899,
upon examination by Judge Gis-
Jason. Sheets added second
break-in at the Webb oil station
in Redwood Falls to 16 which he
admitted after his arrest March
rs. He also said he suggested the
first break-in.
Define was involved in IL rob-
berries.
Sheets parents separated when
he was three years old and he has
only a sixth grade education, he
said. He is married and has a Is
months old daughter.
81 got back to work." he said
when asked to explain why he
had quit the burglaries about a
year ago.
Define who lives with his par
ents and works on their farm said
he got into the eighth grade but
didn't pass and. quit school when
he was Is.
Judge Gislason displayed a rare
few moments of evaporation
when Rosenthal would not give
any reason for his failure to re-
pay the OAA funds and would not
disclose the amount of his rail-
road pension.
Rosenthal was convicted of OBJ
tanning county assistance under
false pretenses October Is, 1899
and December 81 was ordered to
repay $202.50 at the rate of $3.50
a month starting last January 1,
until April l when repayments of
$40 a month were ordered.
81 CAN'T" was his only answer.
The judge asked him to state
the amount of his monthly rail-
road pension.
81 can't" said Rosenthal, 'No-
body's supposed to know what
I'm getting"
do you refuse?" the judge de-
manded.
II don't refuse but nobody's
supposed to know"
County. Attorney Tom Reed,
asked by the court as to his know
ledge of the pension, said he be-
lieved that it is around SIT a
month but that it varies.
Unable to obtain any informa-
ton, the judge remanded Rosen-
thai to the county Jail until he
complies with the court order.

Billions for aHandicap!

Farmers especially will be interested in what
Senator Clyde M. Reed of Kansas has to say about
transportation because for many years he has repre-
sented farm organizations in transportation matters
Recently, in Chicago, he spoke on the need for a
sound national transportation policy
''What I am trying to do as a United States
SENATOR he said, is to help the country straighten
out its tangled transportation situation so that the
most efficient and economical service may be
given to the public at tho lowest COST"
Characterizing most river improvement schemes
as "rackets," Senator Reed asserted that finland
waterway transportation is not low cost transporta-
ton; it is the highest cost transportation as COM
pared with the highways or the railroads. The only
reason for lower charges is the subsidy paid by
taxpayers out of the public treasury"
'The important thing in this connection" he said,
us whether we are going to continue to tax the
whole people for the benefit of comparatively small
number OF people. Are the cities and trade centers
located off the rivers to be, not only taxed but addi
donally penalized by lower freight charges given
their competitors located on the rivers? My answer
is, 'No!'
Farmers as WHOLE" the Kansas Senator
declared shave not profted cent by the billions of
dollars spent on river improve nent.'" The pro-
moters of river navigation, he added, "hod out to
the public the idea that it is getting some benefit
from raids upon the public treasury" but that Gin
most cases the commodities so moved are sold to
the public, not on the basis of lower river rates. but
on basis of the higher railroad rate"
81 proclaim, my belief here and now," said
Senator Reed, "that a sound public policy
loould be one that imposed upon all traffic
using facilities created out of the public treas
ury, tolls that Uouid reasonably recon,pense
the taxpayers for the money taken from them.
If that were done, traffic vould rnoue by the
cheapest and best route"
