Badger is generally admitted to be
hustler and an eloquent preacher.
In concluding his remarks Mr..
Badger counseled the congregation
to get together and eliminate all

their counsels. He recognized that
the time comes to every pastor and
congregation when a change is de-
sirable, and was willing to leave
to the congregation the matter of
fixing the date for making the
change.

rural schools.
This is shown in a table pre-
pared for the coming report of
State Superintendent J. w. Olsen.
The table gives the number of such
schools receiving aid in each county
of the state, the total amount of
such aid paid to each county, the
total enrolment and the amount
of local school taxes raised in each
county.
Especial state aid is given by ap-
preparation to schools that pass the
requirements of the state high
school board. The money comes out
of the general fund of the state,
raised by direct taxation, and to
which Hennepin county contributes
nearly Is per cent Yet Hennepin
county got only S14,889 out of the
S450,813 paid last year as state aid,
or little more than 3 per cent.
''The table shows ia high schools
receiving 81, 200 each; 148 graded
schools receiving S525 each; 287
semi-graded schools receiving $3.50
each; $40 frst-class rural schools re-
ceiving S92 each, and 249 second
class rural schools receiving S37

Redwood County Schools Drawing Near
Iy as Much State Aid as the

The Minneapolis Journal of April
l made a war against the special
state school aid, which it termed a
"one-sided affair."" and in publish
ing the article paid a silent compli-
ment to Supt. S. j. Race of this
county, who has done so much to-
wards building up the Redwood
county schools.
. The special state school aid is
recognized as being about the only
steal that the country makes on
the larger cities, and it is justified
by the fact that the country con-
tributes to and builds up the wealth
Of the cities, and consequently the
latter should not object to having
a small portion of the money which
they take from the country sent
back there thru the distribution of
the school fund on an Individual
high school, or on a high grade
rural school basis.
Senators and representatives from
the country always give their city
cousins the laugh when this appro-
priation item passes at each session,
claiming that it is about the only
time that they are not able to steal
back" what has been stolen" from
them, and the game is not likely to
be abandoned.

Mr.. BADGER RESIGNS
The WeII-known and Energetic Pastor
of the Presbyterian Church
Quits the Game.
Many Improvements AID Big Addition to
Church Made During his Good
PaStOrdte.

At the conclusion of last Sunday
morning service at the Presbyterian
church, Rev. l.. F. Badger made a
statement preliminary to the presen-
tation from the church session of a
request that the congregation join
with Mr.. Badger in asking the
Presbytery-in session at Luverne
to-day to dissolve the pastoral re-
lation between Mr.. Badger and the
Presbyterian congregation at this
place. The congregation voted to
comply with the request Of their
pastor, after .hearing--his statement,
and elected Thos. March as com
missioner to represent the church
elder, Robt. Stewart having previ-
ously been elected delegate from
the church session.
In his statement the pastor said
that he took this step after learning
that number OF the congregation
were opposed to his continuing with
this church another year the church
year officially beginning April LIST.
He did not believe it to be his duty
to minister to a divided congrega-
ton, and believed that it would be
to the best interests of both parties
to the contract to make a change.
Rev. L. F. Badger will have been
with this church four years next
month. During that time there
have been added to the church
holdings Improvements to the base
ment and elsewhere costing over
81, 900 and a manse costing about
$500. The congregation numbers
