 He watched her try her horse, first a trot, an easy second pace, a rapid gallop. He joined her then on his own bay.

 Why, Wesley!" She was still in light mood. You are improving. You gave me a compliment and don't even blush. And - wherever are your oogly glasses?"
 He did blush then. He had hoped she would notice and when she did it embarrassed him. But he smiled

State LAND OF
$1,000 LAKES
Eight Counties In Minnesota
Have None; to Create
Artificial Ones.

Minnesota is the land of more than
II 900 lakes-instead of the popularity
known 10yO00-but even SO there are
eight counties in the state that have
none.
Some of these counties are endeavor-
ing to make up this deficiency by
creating artificial lakes, it is revealed
in reports by Walter S. Olson, director
of the division of drainage and waters
in the department of conservation
In his January report to Commits
sioner William L. Strunk, Director Oh
son states that his division had ac-
cepted as completed the Blue Mound
project in Rock County, by which two
small lakes were created in this one
of the eight lakeless counties.
This project, constructed by WPA
under the drainage and water di-
Visions plans, specification and super
vision, involved the building of two
small dams in connection with a state
park development. The pools behind
these dams now are filled with water
and, when the park development has
been fully completed, will afford an
exceptionally fine recreation area for
that section of the state, according TO
Mr.. Olson.
This park is north of the city of
Luverne. The land for it was pur-
chased by the state executive council
about four years ago.

HOLMBERCS BEATEN
BY CASS LAKE FIVE
TRACY ELIMINATED BY
ESKO In OPENING
ROUND OF MEET

Redwood Falls and Tracy indie
pendent teams, representing the
fourth district at a state tourna-
ment in Minnesota Saturday and
Sunday, both were eliminated in
their first round encounters.
Holmberg's fell victim of the
Northern All-Stars from Cass
Lake by 81 to So Saturday after
noon, soon after Tracy had bowed
to Esko IS to 81.
Two former Hamline stars,
Buzz Gray of the all-stars and
Wally Zimmerman, for Redwood,
engaged in q scoring duel in
which Gray emerged with a one
point lead, II to 16.
Redwood fell behind early in
the contest, holding the short end
of a 81 to IL count at the half. The
game was played on nearly even
terms from that point to the fin
ish.
In the second round, Esko was
eliminated by Duluth Murphy and

Cardinals Triumph
At Hutchinson, 51-33

Points which the Cardinals
needed so badly in the regional
tourney last year when Hutchin-
son won white hot battle were
scored with ease Friday night as
the 1910 Redwood Falls team pill
ed up 81 to- SO victory, the
fourteenth in Is starts, at Hutch
inSon.
Holding the upper hand from
the outset, the Cardinals took an
IL to 4 lead at the quarter and
had 26 point margin, % to Is,
at the half. The Tigers clawed
away at the bulwark of points in
the third frame, reducing the edge
at third quarter time to 35 to %.
The victory was principally
notable in that Diekmeier shook
off a scoring slump to lead the
attack with Is points, closely fol-
lowed by Duea with IL.

viving teams in each of two brae-
ketG to earn places in the district
tourney at New Ulm, as well as
appropriate trophies.
Morgan and Gaylord rank as
pre-tourney favorites with VIM
