THE LEGION Wins
FOURTH STRAIGHT
Arasapha Indians" Easy Mark
For Mainland Soldier Quintet
Last Tuesday Night.

The Mainland Post, American Leg
ion, basketball team, won its fourth
straight victory on Tuesday night
when the Indians" of Arasapha Tribe,
of Atlantic City. opposed them. The
shore boys were an easy mark for the
m~ainlanders and the final score was
1923. This makes seven out of eight
games that the soldiers have won this
season.
During the first half the Atlantic
City club put up a stubborn battle,
but after that they did not have a
chance with the M~ainlanders, who
rained in baskets almost at will. At
the conclusion of the first half the
Pleasantyille team was leading "a TO
10.
Regain, Ortendahl and Meyers were
the bright stars in the contest. Six
field goals were marked up to the
credit of Regain, while Ortendahl re-
ceiYed n less.
Enderlin made two one handed
shots which were considered sensa-
tional by the fans. Messie went in
as a substitute for Payne and played
a wonderful game. Bill" Martin, an
NJ. g. star, was shut off with only l
field goal.

SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD

When the Pine County Mutual
Fire Insurance Company held
their annual meeting in January
a resolution was adopted reading
as follows:
Resolved, that if policy
holder uses his barn for dancing
his policy is Void.
There can be no question but
that when a barn is used for
dancing it becomes a much great
err fire risk than when Just used
for what it is intended: the
housing of live stock, hay, grains,
etc, and for that reason it is a
good thing to take some fire risk
precautions. But it is a question
If that resolution is correctly
worded and understood and. if
not, such action as will make it
clear, should be taken at the first
possible opportunity.
AS it now reads a policy hold
eTs policy becomes null and void
If he has barn dance whether
or not fire ensues. Ii for
instance a man has had policy
. one month and has a barn dance,
his policy is then no good fer the
balance of the year. In this case
if the barn burned two weeks
after the dance--Yhich would
not be caused by the dance and
the crowd congregated the own.
er would get absolutely no in
surance unless he had re-insured
and paid another premium. This
would hardly seem fair and we
do not believe that it is the in
tentions of the members of the
insurance company that the re-
solution should be so stringent.
We are wondering if it wasn't
the intention that no insurance
could be collected If the. barn
burned as a direct cause of the
dance. If that was and is the
intentions it would be well to
have the resolution so state, max
ing the policy void. say perhaps
one or two days previous to the
dance while preparations are be
ing made and one or two days
after the dance when there
would also be some people con
gregated in clearing away.
If a barn burned a week, q
month. six months. or in fact any
time after a dance had beer
held in such building and during
the life of the policy. it might
mean a court case If the insur
ance company refused to pay tho
loss 50 in order to clear up tn,
matter and save misunderstood
ing. trouble and expense. the re
solution should be made NOR,
specific.
The clause against barn dances
on fire risks is a good move il
the right direction in order I,

Babcock Growing Unpopular.
There is evidence of a rising
tide of feeling against Highway
Commissioner Babcock. A bill
making his office an elective one
is already before the house and
another will soon be introduced
providing for three highway com
missioners TO take the place of
Mr.. Babcock, appointed by the
governor. One hears anti-Bab-
cock talk among the members of

has been riding a high horse"
and needs to be taken down a
notch.

Representative Thos. H. Girl

licences from the state Health

ice. The fee is fixed at $500
on any meandered lake. Also he
has a provision that on any such
lake which lies within or adj

shall be a public hearing before
such license shall be granted.
The water and ice must be certi-
fed to as to purity by the State
Health Department.

cause you feel the taxes are out
Of proportion with the benefit
received, but rather the attitude
which your letter portrays.
Please keep in mind that We
live in the only country on earth
where every man is granted
equal opportunities, where you
are welcome to develop your APP
titudes unmolested, where you
are welcome to worship as you
see fit, where you are invited to
lend a hand in the upbuilding of
a better government, where you
are part and parcel of said gev-
eminent. Then why not Mr..
Hermansen, find the cause of
your inability to meet your taxes
and try to remedy the cause, and
if you are not able of yourself to
eliminate your failings, you will
find plenty of citizens who will
gladly lend a helping hand, pro-
viding you prove yourself wor-
thy and deserving. r
In Europe we are the servants
to public officials. In this nation
the public official is servant to
us. And as servants. encourage
ment and kind treatment is fully
appreciated. instead of continual
ly hectoring and finding fault.
Most officials do their duty as
best they can, and because a
crook occasionally slips by is not
sufficient grounds for abusing a
man because he is in office
Regarding the tax penalty,
perhaps it would be best to lower
the rate, but it behooves me,
from observation, that even that
will not satisfy some classes Of
citizens. There are those who
cannot meet their taxes, but

would merely abuse any enlight-
eminent of the delinquent tax
penalty.
Taxes under present .agricul-
tural conditions are woy out of
reason. nevertheless they must
be paid. Our only salvation is
to endeavor to minimize the ex-
penditures, to plug up the leaks,
and to demand more value for
the monies spent on roads. |
think road work should be taken
away from the town and county
boards altogether. Our present
system of road labor and con-
tract work is rank extravaganza
and devoid Of any intelligent
system.
Please Mr.. Hermansen, per
haps you could devise for pre-
sentation to our Representative
and Senator road law that will
minimize the money waste, will
get results, and will benefit more
people than at present obtains.
In the meantime | trust you

next day came, Senator Carley,
announced that there was no OPP
position to any of the appointees,
except the regents Of the Uni
versity and the public examiner,
Garfield w. Brown Accordingly
it was agreed that all should be
confirmed except the regents and
Mr.. Brown, who are still on the

hot fight is pending.
Senate is Working.
The senate is getting more and
more industrious. In the begin
ming it convened at II o'clock In
the morning; then it changed to
1890 O'Clock, and the other day
| it advanced the hour to 1000
O'Clock. The house has been
meeting regularly at 2 o'clock in
the. afternoon and holding it's
committee meetings in the fore
noon and most of its public hear
ines in the evening. The senate
committee meetings are mostly
in the afternoon.
Union Label Turned Down.
The senate has finally taken ac-
tioA on the union label question.
Early in the session it referred
Senator Devolds resolution, re-
curing that the union label be
placed on all senate printed mat
ter, to the rules committee, of
which Senator G.. II. Sullivan of
Saltwater is Chairman. 1t was
not reported back until Wednes-
day. when it precipated a de-
bate that lasted two hours. The
resolution was defeated, 80 to %,
land organized labor has put it
down i'm it's memorandum book.
House AbOlishes Preliminary.
The house elections committee
has recommended to pass the
bill to abolish the pre-primary
convention law of 1921. Action
on this bill will be taken in about
week and it is probable that
the bill to change the primary
date from June to September
will be considered at the same
time, as a special order.
Shipstead Makes Short Talk.
An interesting feature OF
Thursdays session of the house
was a ten minute address by
Senator-elect Henrik Shipstead.
His little talk was decidedly or
iQinal and interesting, making an
excellent impression.
Will Rebuild Normal Schools.
The first big appropriation bill
of the present session made it's
appearance on Thursday. 1t APP
propriates $930,000 for the re-
building of the main buildings of
the Mankato and Winona Normal
schools both of which were
recently destroyed by fire. The
Winona Normal school also gets
a new heating plant.
The rural credits question has
been put over till Wednesday aft
ernoon of next week. This gives
both sides ample time for plan
ming, scheming and PROSECUTING,
and as all questions before the
legislature are determined to a
certain extent by such tactics,
the outcome will depend to a
considerable extent on the rela-
tive skill in this respect of the
two factions, The faction sup
porting the Wilkinson bill doubt
less have the advantage on this
test of strength. But to an OBJ
server it would seem that the
other faction have the best of it
