Legion Play
Is Big Success
LION AND MOUSE PLEASES
LARGE AUDIENCE AT AR
MORY, THURSDAY EVE.

The Lion and the Mouse which was
presented at the Redwood Falls Ar
mory Thursday evening Of last week,
under the auspices of the American
Legion, was very well received by an
audience numbering about five hun
dred people. The net proceeds of the
evening will be used for the benefit
of the Melvin Daskam Post.
The cast, all members of which are
residents of Redwood Falls did ex-
ceptionally fine work for amateurs,
showing the splendid direction of Max
R. II. Treu who coached the play. Mr..
Treu has made a reputation as direc-
tor of plays since he has taken up his
residence in Redwood Falls and the
Thursday evening presentation further
sustained this reputation.
The Lion was played with wonder
full ability by w. j. Neiman and Mrs.
G. L. Grapp, playing opposite him as
the Mouse played her role with distinc-
tion and artistic effect. Clever char
acter work was done by all the other
members of the cast, the high average
of the work done making the presenta-
tion move with delightful freedom
from weak spots. This smoothness of
action and of direction characterized
the entire production.

School Survey
Results Given
OVER 400 CITIES UNDERGO
SCHOOL INVESTIGATION; CON-
DITIONS- ANYTHING BUT GOOD

Tens of thousands of school chill
dren housed in fire traps and hun
dreds of thousands Of them either on
half time or makeshift buildings is the
condition in 429 cities of the United
States as disclosed in report made
public last week. The report was is
sued by the national committee for
chamber of Commerce cooperation
with the public schools on survey
conducted by the American City Bu-
reau.
The committee was organized in
February, 1920, to inquire into school
conditions. Its executive committee
is headed by George D. Strayer, of
Teachers College, Columbia Universe
ty, New York. The evidence pre-
sented "shows clearly that there are
tens of thousands of children now
housed in old, insanitary, dangerous
buildings" says Mr.. Strayer in his
introduction to the report. MANY of
these structures are best classified as
fire-traps."
Data was received from 429 cities.
The report says: ''These facts, OBJ
tanned from seventy-five percent, of
all the cities reporting, show that in
these cities even excluding those
housed in annexes whose conditions
may be normal there are more than
453,00O children who are either on
half-time because of lack sof building
space or are housed in pertables, rent
ed buildings, attics, Easements or cor
ridors. 1t would require an average
Of two hundred thirty room buildings
in each of these cities to properly
house these groups of children alone" "
Inadequacy of Playground Space.
The report sets forth statistically
the inadequacy Of playground space.
s'It is clear that in many cities child
rem are now housed in buildings in
which there is less space on the play
ground than it supplied in the class
rooms in which they are taught" says
Mr.. Strayer in the introduction.
''Three million six hundred thou
sand children are represented in this
report on Fairgrounds" it is stated,

of them-1 100000 children-have

More Milk from
Beet Pulp Feed
DASSEL DAIRYMEN INCREASE
MILK FLOW WITH BEET
RATION.

There is one important fact in con-
nection with sugar beet raising which,
while it has not been given a great
deal of publicity, is OF. particular in
terest to dairymen and should appeal
strongly to farmers in this locality
where dairying is the "main spoke in
the wheel"
Olson & Krans, Dassel Guernsey
breeders and dairymen-by the. way
A. G. Krans of Hutchinson is a mem
Der of the firm-have recently COM
pleted a 30-day test of their pre-
bred Guernsey herd, and in state
ment given out by them they say that
during the test a portion Of three to
four pounds of beet pulp was add
ed to the daily ration of each animal,
and that during the feeding of this
ration the milk flow per animal was
materially increased.
The records of. the five cows on 80
day test follows:
Lily of Oakhill-Milk, 1422 lbs;
butterfat, 69.479
Winnie of the Sioux-Milk, 1234.8
lbs; butterfat, 62.197.
Guilberts of Cuyuna-Milk, 975.5
lbs; butterfat, 53.457.
Irene of Maple Hill-Milk, 751.6
lbs; butterfat, 40.12.
Alvira of Oakley-Milk, 752 lbs;
butterfat, 38.736.
From the experience of the dairy
men above mentioned and of many
others engaged in the same line. of
endeavor in this and other localities
where sugar beet raising has been
more or less of a leading industry it
is evident that beet pulp, in addition
to the tops and crowns which also pro-
vide valuable feed, is worth more
per pound as milk producing ration
than ensilage.-Hutchinson Leader

problems of the farmer are gradually
being solved and this phase of the
work may now be left for a consider

Tuesday.
Assistant Attorney General Rollin
E. Smith said today the Minnesota law
requires the governor to issue writs
for special election, to fill the vacan
cy created by death of legislator and
the county auditor shall then give Is
days notice of the election to the vot-
ers in that district. A primary must
be conducted seven days before the
final election. 1t was considered un-
likely that a special election would be
called.
When the house convened at 10 a.
m. today it recessed for Is minutes
out of respect for Senator Nord.
In Senator's Nord's death Minnesota
has lost one of it's most prominent
men in the fight for good roads. As
secretary of the Minnesota Highway
Improvement association, he travelled
for almost year to all parts of the
state, spreading the doctrine of better
highways and directing the campaign
for the good roads amendment. His
intense application to this work i'm
paired his health, and on Dec. IL he
had slight stroke, which was follow
ed by the fatal attack this week.
Born in Norway.
He was born in Christiania, Norway,
in 1873, and came to America with his
mother in 1881, spending almost 20
years of his life in Minneapolis. He
married Miss Thora Thorson of Min
neapolis in 1897 and in 1900 moved to
International Falls, where he engaged
in the contracting and real estate busi-
ness.
Senator Nord was chairman Of the
senate highway subcommittee on re-
fundment and has taken an intense in
terest in highway legislation at this

Truck and Tractor
School Mar. 14-15
GARAGE TO BE
SCENE OF SCHOOL OF IN
STRUCTION NEXT WEEK

A school of instruction for the users
of trucks and tractors will be held
at the Stensvad Garage Monday and
Tuesday, March IA and Is, of next
week III. @. Lindsey of Minneapolis
will be the chief engineer in charge
and charts and parts which are used
in the various demonstrations are fur
nished through the cooperation OF
more than forty manufacturers OF the
various tractors, etc.
During his explanation of the
principles of the different machines
and their care, Mr.. Lindsey will
demonstrate that a large percentage
of the tractor troubles are caused by
improper care and the lack of proper
fabrication. The instruction given
will assist tractor operators to avoid
many of these troubles, thereby de-
creasing the cost of upkeep and oper-
alton as well as loss of time.
One especially interesting feature
will be some laboratory tests on oils
to be brought in by Farmers attend
ing the Sessions. Regardless of the
names or brands of oil submitted, they
will be tested for gravity, flash and
fire, in the presence of all. High
grade oils viii be compared with 9TH
ers, in a clear, simple and convinc-
ing way Other tests will be given
which a farmer can take and make
use of right at the farm, in order to
ascertain whether or not the oil he is
using is of the best grade and suitable
for the work
A number of other interesting il
lustrations relative to carburetion, ig
nition and cooling, where lubrication
is directly responsible for a lot of
trouble that is commonly attributed
to the carbufetor or the magnetic, will
be taken up and explained to the sa-
tisfaetion of those who are interested.
Every owner or operator of any in
ternal combustion engine will De in
vited to ask questions. relative to his
own machines, and to describe his
troubles. In this way every person
who attends may learn how to avoid
many of the things which he has
found to be not only annoying, but
very expensive. Everyone interested
is most cordially invited to attend this
school.

Redwood "a, Lamberton II.
The Redwood lads started off on a
rush but Lamberton did likewise and
at end of 1st quarter Lamberton had
tied at 8 and 8. Redwood seemed to
realize what they were up against and
settled down to real basketball and
it was the fastest game so far they
had played. Never before did the
Mason, Smith, McDougal combination
WOIh So last. AtSIHtI diiu LdIIlDeT-
ton alternated at right forward and
both stood out Lamberton on free
throws and Ziemer on dribbling. Carl
ty played consistent defensive game.
At end of first half Redwood was
leading 9 to IL.
They came back strong and worked
even harder. Stewart at stationary
guard was handicapped by sprained
ankle but was up and going all the
time, making life hard for the LAM
berton forwards. In the last period
Redwood forged ahead making the
final score "a to II. The spectators
were constantly on their feet at the
marvellous playing.
For Lamberton Fl. Nigg at center,
stood out as their best player. Keep

Slate in Coal
Cause of Fine
LEGISLATURE WOULD
PUNISH Junk COAL" DEAL
ERS WITH HEAVY FINE.

That the people of the northwest
are getting "rotten coap and that the
northwest is "a dumping ground for
Junk COAL" were statements made on
the house floor in the state legisla
ture, when committee report on the
'tslate in COAL" bill was overturned.
Rep. Guy E. Dilley had sponsored
a measure providing that any dealer
who sold coal with slate or other for
eign substances therein could be pun
ished by fine of $100 or sentenced to
not more than ninty days. The COM
mittee thought the bill was impracti-
cal and recommended it for indefinite
postponement. Fsf
When the report was read, Mr.. Dill
ley moved that it be rejected and the
bill put on general orders for discus
sion and thorough consideration.
Pennsylvania has this law and does
not permit more than 121a per cent
of foreign substances in coal" Mr.
Dilley said. "I was willing to make
this Is per cent for this state, but
there were too many coal men on the
committee and they wanted the bill
killed"
Representatives Asher Howard, A.
L. Lennon, and c.. NJ Bendixen asked
that the measure go on general orders.
When the vote was taken there was
not a dissenting voice. The bill will
be amended to make it more practical.
Almost every house member who
spoke decried the fuel situation and
said some relief must be obtained if
possible.
During the past few years the piles
of ashes and rock in every back yard
is evidence that coal being consumed
is filled with foreign substance. Not
only is slate in evidence, but rocks is.
also to be found.
A western man, who visited min
ing cities in Pennsylvania and other
learned why it was that people of this
part of the country were compelled to
use coal containing high percentage
of slate and rock. He states that for
merly mining companies were eau
tious with regard to the amount of
foreign substance they permitted to
remain in the coal shipped. The boys
who watched the passage of coal and
were hired to pick out all foreign
substances were fired, if they permit
ted too great a quantity of slate and
rock to remain in the coal Now this
condition is reversed. The lads are
reprimanded If they throw too much
foreign substance away. Many times
they are compelled to climb the re-
fuse pile and throw back rock and
slate into the coal.
The piles of slate and rock and poor
coal that met the eye ON every hand
years ago have diminished greatly
during the past few years, it is said.
The dumps have been cleaned and
people of the northwest have been
paying high prices for what was in
former years nothing but refuse.
