SMOKE RINGS
Browns On Boom
By SAM Raglan

IS starving as a baseball player not liking ice cream
is the way the St. Louis Browns are winning ball games
the hard way. Those little guys have been trying so hard
for Years to. play with the gang that beating the Boston
Red Sox II to 7 in a 10 inning struggle yesterday came
as something of a shock.
The idea that the perennial cellarites might not be
that any more creeped into the minds OF followers OF me
nationai nastime a few days ago. That was when the
Rrouns won q double-header from the Yankees.

MAYO FISCHER VISITS
50 TOWNS SELLING
MUSIC SUPPLIES

A new travelling salesroom''
was delivered to the Music Store
of Redwood Falls this week and
Mayo Fischer, proprietor, is al
ready wheeling it on its rounds of
81 towns in six counties.
It's an International truck, cab
over engine type, with a nine foot
six by five foot ten inch sales
room built on. Three pianos can
be carried there, held firm with
wall-brackets of Mr.. Fischer's de-
sign, through which webbing is
run.
Overhead luggage racks and a
built-in cupboard above the driv-
ers seat make it possible to carry
other instruments and musical
equipment. An air-conditioning
heater assures comfort.
Ideas were cleaned from the
Greyhound bus company and the
worlds fair for the striking eX-
terror of the machine, built by the
Ebenhoh body company of Sleepy
Eye.
Sides are of brilliant blue and
the top of silver while ribbon
style" wooden letters of red and
silver like those used at the
worlds fair are placed on the

Senator Borah
Critically Ill
LITTLE HOPE GIVEN
PROMINENT COP,
DEAN OF SENATE

Washington--(R)- Senator Will
liam Borah of Idaho, stricken
with a cerebral hemorrhage, was
reported today to be near death.
The 74-year-old dean of the sem
ate has been in seldom broken
state of coma since Tuesday
morning when he was found un-
conscious in his bathroom. q.
Mrs. Borah said the senator's
physician would give her no en-
couragement to expect that her
husband might recover.
At their apartment where Borah
was under the care of DR.. Worth
Daniels, Mrs. Borah said that con-
trary to first assumptions it was
now considered possible that the
senator first was stricken with the
hemorrhage and that this attack
had caused the fall Tuesday. First
reports were that he had slipped
on a rug, struck his head and that
the hemorrhage resulted.
Cora Rubin, Borah's secretary
for 80 years, said after visit to
his bedside this morning that his
condition was ''very, very critic
al" and that he was in a coma
most of the time.
She said his physicians expect
ed no immediate crisis, explaining
that "by that l mean within the
next two or three hours"

KIND Finds
Girl, But She
.ISn'tIntereSted
Smith up at KIND

Putnam Smith up at KIND
figured he'd done a nice bit of
work Saturday when he located a
Nebraska girl at Ivanhoe and had
authorities there give her a mes
sage that her mother was i'll and
her grandfather was willing to
pay for her trip home.
The station broadcast for Col
die Marie Steele, 10, Monday
when they received request
from her grandfather at McCool
Junction, Nebraska and the Ivan
hoe sheriff informed them Satur-
day that he had found her with
a crew of Is girls selling mag
azines there.
But the case was nowhere near
solved.
Mr.. Smith got in touch with the
McCool Junction marshal who
told him that the grandfather liv-
ed in the country, that blizzard
was raging and that it would take
him several hours to get to the
place with news of Goldie's
whereabouts.
Goldie was not influenced by
all this official activity on her
behalf. She just didn't want to
60 home.
So she didn't 60 home, accord
ing to other girls on the magazine
crew which canvassed Redwood
Falls Tuesday.

SAYS STUDENTS GET
TOO MUCH CHOICE
IN THEIR COURSES

Speaking to superintendent of
the district and the Little Ten,
Wednesday, w. E. Peik, dean of
the college of education at the
University of Minnesota, compar-
ed the present system of high
school education to a cafeteria,
where students have more choice
than is good for them and the re-
suit in many cases is a smatter-
ing of everything without too
much information on any one line.
Illustrating his point, Dean
Peik said that children who are
especially interested in science in
the junior high school should con-
tinue it in senior high by taking
as many of the sciences as is pos
sible. Too often under the present
system, his natural inclination has
been destroyed in the junior high
school because teachers have made
the elementary subject too diff

FALSE ALARM, CHIN.
NEY BLAZE, CAR FIRE
ALL IN A DAY

Three alarms - three separate
9larms-called Redwood Falls
firemen out into the bitter cold
Wednesday.
The first alarm was a false one.
It came at 7 a. m. when tele-
phone operator accidentally set
off the bells which firemen have
in their homes. Several men sped
to the fire hall in response.
Harvey Balko's 1929 Chevro-
let coupe was damaged by fire in
the wiring late Wednesday after
noon.
He had just got home, parked
the car in front of the house and
gone upstairs when his mother,
Mrs. Adolph Balko, saw the flames
from a window. The Redwood
Falls fire department was called
at 5.35 and put out the blaze with
hand pumps.
At 9.15 p. m. firemen put out a
chimney blaze at the William

County Board ApprovesRelief
Survey Asked by CO. ilfillan
SCHOOL MATTER NOT
CONSIDERED DURING
MEETING TUESDAY

c. o. Gillian was given per-
mission to make a survey on re-
lief matters in Redwood county
at his own expense by county
commissioners, meeting briefly af-
ter discussion Tuesday morning
and afternoon with representa-
tives of the Redwood County Tax
payers association and about so
other interested county residents
on the question of closing the
county home.
They did not act on the county
home issue and it was indicated
that they would not until after
Mr.. Gilfillan's survey is complet-
ed.
A proposal to establish an NYA
girls school in the county home
building-the project which gave
rise to a series of meetings on
disseminating the poor farm-did
not enter into consideration by
attendants at the session. The
majority expressed themselves in
terested mainly in taking care of
the aged poor in the most econ
omical and humane manner poss-
ible.
Appointed by D. L. Crimmins,
president of the county taxpayers
association, representative proper
ty owners of each commissioner
district were called on to give
their views on the county home
question.
While the consensus was that
something should be done about
the home, most of them advocat-
ed careful investigation of the
aged poor problem and expressed
their confidence in the commits
sioners' ability to 'do the right
thing"
Frank Sheffield of Brookville
sounded the keynote of sentiment
at the meeting when he said, 81
think the commissioners should be
very conservative and careful in
investigating the county home
matter before they act. Mr.. Gill
fillan has done much for the
county and ii IS only courteous to
grant him the delay for investiga-
ton which he has asked"
He spoke favorably of a county
hospital with old peoples home
in connection, such as st. Johns
at Springfield.
William F. Johns, superintend-
ent of the county home here, pre-
sented his figures on home oper-
alton costs at the suggestion of
William Werner of Wabasso, Civ
ing a list of inmates and their
physical condition and a day-by-
day report of his work in sack
ing and distributing surplus COM
modities to relief and old age
assistance clients throughout the
county. He put in 146 days at
commodities work last year.
Mr.. Gilfillan, learning that Mr..
Johns receives $500 a year for his
commodities work in addition to
his 500 month superintendent
salary said, "He should be getting
$4,000 a year for that alone. 1t
would cost that much to hire it

ago when the Civil war broke out
and he enlisted, serving with
General Phillip Sheridan in the
battles at Vicksburg, Jacksonville
and Memphis.
When he was mustered out in
1865, he took the farm near Red
wood Falls and Morton now oc-
cupied by Peter Brown and built
a house there. In 1868 he married
Mary Kuenzli and they reared IL
children, six of whom are living.
He operated his farm here until
1884 when he moved to California
where he makes his home with a
daughter, Mrs. j. M. Carter. AT
Pasadena he drove a public car
riage from 1891 to 1894 when his
wife died and he retired.
The oldest GAR member in
Pasadena, he attributes his longe-
witty to the fact that he has never
drunk anything stronger than
milk. Recently he has had to use
clutches in walking, but his eye
sight is still good and he reads
newspapers to keep up with cur
rent events.
His first vote was for Abraham
Lincoln in the presidential cleo
ton of 1861 and he has voted in
every national election since.
Through his life he was in the
midst of interesting events. He
was in a shipwreck and lost at
sea for three days and has been
through three serious train
wrecks.
For SIS years he has been an
active member of the Seventh
Day Adventist church.
