Redwood Wins
Hard Victory
TRACY DOWNED AFTER BATTLE
LAST FRI. EVE. RETURN GAME
HERE FEBRUARY 22nd.

Last Friday evening the Cardinal
and White hoop artists toured over
to Tracy and engaged the High School
Hopefuls of that place in conference
pumpkin tossing contest. They went
over pledged to win and they did, af-
ter staging one of the most brilliant,
lighting come-backs ever seen on the
Tracy crackerbox floor. The final
score stood 10 to 9 in favor of Red
wood. The game was fast. clean and
knockout in every way. The Tracy
outfit is speedy aggregation of pill
shooters but they could not overcome
the fighting spirit which Coach Hoff-
ert injected into his budding charges.
The boys were bothered by the small
floor, the low ceiling and the brick
walls but during the second half they
came back with the eve can win-We
must win" spirit. The score shows
the result.
The game started with bang and
So did candy" Bobzin for he shared

Stalwarts helped along Tracy's cause
and they gained free throw point.
Tracy slipped and Hoskin dropped in
a free toss. Redwood's scoring end
ed for the half while the Tracy artists
miched the boys for another field goal:
making them seven. Here the halt
ended 7 to 3 with Tracy jubilant over
her lead.

Carnival Brings
Good Proceeds
LEGION ADDS $500 TO CLUB
HOUSE FUND BY ENTERTAIN
MENT OF LAST WEEK.

The American Legion carnival held
at the Armory last Thursday and Fri
day evenings was complete success
both from a financial and entertain
ment standpoint. During the two
evenings over thousand persons at
tended. The Legion boys state the
receipts were 5000 for the two nights.
Of this amount $500 was counted as
the net proceeds. All of this money
will be put into the building fund for
the Legion clubhouse, and will not be
used for any other purpose. Plans
for the Carnival were elaborate and
reflected considerable cleverness on
the part of the promoters.
Prizes donated by friends of the
Legion were given to holders of GER
tain numbers in a drawing made each
evening. A 175 pound hog donated
by William Daskam, was won by Mrs.
Spencer Nestande the first night and
a full blooded Holstein calf was won
by Mrs. j. B. Gallea the second night.
Several prizes of varying value were
donated by the business men of this
city and were given to the holders OF
the lucky numbers.
Many clever booths were in opera
ton and the side shows did a rush
season business. The corn game and
soft drink stands were going it steady
throughout the evening and the Movi-
es, the Nut Shop and other "conces-
sions" were favored with constant
patronage. The community orchestra
provided the music throughout the
evening as we'll as for short dance
at the close of the evening.
Free attractions were presented
each night by three members of the
Redwood FaHies cast, Erwin Gallery,
WILDER Gallery, and Ross Davis, speci-
alsts in clog dancing. A troupe of
colored singers also entertained with
various selections in close harmony.
The Women's Auxiliary also helped
much to make the carnival success
full. The home made candy and other
things donated by the Women's Auxi--
larry and the stands run by them at
tracted much favorable comment from
the members of the crowd. The Kan
caro- Court was in operation both
nights with Hon. Judge K. Glascoe on
the Bench and Leo O'Hara as at
torney. An able force of police Of
ficers with Frank Welch.as Chief help
ed to keep order throughout the eve
ming and to bring evildoers to the at
tention of the court. This was one
case, also, in which justice proved ex-
tremely profitable.
The carnival was marked by whole
some entertainment and was both pro
fitable to the Legion and greatly en-
joyed by those attending. The fine
weather which prevailed during the
carnival dates undoubtedly had much
to do with the success of the enter
tainment though poor road conditions
kept many residents of other towns
from attending.
The American Legion Post is we'll
satisfied with the receipts and its
members extend their sincere thanks
to the public which patronized the
Carnival and to the Women's Auxi-
larry for its able assistance.

Art Exhibit Proves
Very Successful
EXHIBIT OF CHILDREN EARNS
ABOUT ONE HUNDRED DOL
LARS; TWO PROGRAMS GIVEN.

Much interest was shown in the
large display of prints at the High
School Wednesday and Thursday eve
hIngs of last week. The exhibit con
sisted. of large number of excellen.
prints of famous paintings and these
prints were carefully studied by both
parents and children who visited the
school building on these two evenings.
A nominal sum was charged for ad-
mittance and nearly one hundred dol
la1s was thus earned, this money to
be expended for pictures to be hung
in. the school rooms. The pupils of
Miss Jensen's room won the picture
given as a prize for selling the larg-
est number Of tickets. However,
since this room won one prize picture
earlier in the year, this picture was
gwen to Miss Blanchards room which
won second place.
A short program was gwen by the
school pupils each of the two even
ings of the exhibit, the children of
the grade school presenting it one
evening and high school and Junior
high pupils the other. A little pan
tomine given by four of the high
school students each evening was the
source of much amusement. Several
of the pictures shown in the exhibit
were posed by the pupils with very
good effect. Music and short read
iEgs made up the rest of the pro-
grams.

With this idea in mind, and with
the feeling that the time was oppor-
tune, The Redwood Gazette instituted
a publicity campaign through its col
umns which has continued through
the past fourteen weeks and con-
cludes with this issue. Fifteen busi-
ness places in the city of Redwood
Falls, convinced of the strong fea-
lures of such campaign, have CO.
operated with this paper in present
ing the facts concerning Minnesota,
Redwood County and the city OF
Redwood Falls which enter into MAX
ing this section of the country one of
the most attractive fields for the pro-
spective home-seeker and the wise in
vestor in the great northwest.
Why this is true has been set forth
in detail in the various articles deal
ing with the various lines of activity
which are just beginning to show the
vast field of opportunities which ex-
ist in all lines of agriculture and in
dEstry which are just entering the
fist stages of intensive development.
The next few years will undoubt-
edly bring results which now are only
dreamed of by the most optimistic.
Those who retain their homes and
their interests in this locality and
those who come from other places to
locate here will then be fervently
thankful of the wisdom which guided
them.
From comparatively unsettled
frontier territory to a place of out
standing prominence among the most
productive states of the Union, with
a population of approximately 2,30O,-
900, Minnesota has grown in the brief
period of 65 years. Favored by ma
tune with the most healthful climate,
fertility of soil and vast natural re-
sources, Minnesota has sprung into
the lead in the production of small
grains and forage crops, stockraising

and dairying, while lumber and iron
ore have played an important part in
the progress of the state. Manufac-
tul ing industries claim an importan.
part in the advancement of the state,
covering such wide field that it is
said that the people of Minnesota
might supply all their wants within
its borders and live indefinitely in
comfort and security. The North
Star state is one of the most brilliant
in the entire galaxy
The series of articles, based on the
authority of officials and workers
throughout the county, shows that in
all the state of Minnesota there is. no
more desirable place for a farm home
than Redwood County. 1t has been
shown that the county is ideally situ-
ated for all phases of agricultural ac-
tivity. that it possesses fine schools,
fine farm homes, splendid roads, pro-
gressive citizens and that everything
is set for a big future 1t has also
been shown that dairying is still one
of the practically undeveloped re-
sources of the County and that the
locality. falls below the state average
in this one activity. In every other
phase of farming however, it is
among the leaders and there has been
distinct tendency the past few weeks
to make marked increase in the
dalWing.
A recapitulation of these articles is
unnecessary. Hundreds of papers
have been mailed each week to possi-
BILE future residents of the County
and many appreciative things have
been said by them as we'll as by the
many interested readers of Redwood
County. The Gazette believes the en-
tire campaign has been one of educa-
tion as well as of publicity and wish
es, in concluding it, to express sincere
gratitude to those business houses
| which made such campaign possible.

Company L. Team
Beats The Squints,

Monday evening, February 18th.
the Co. had scheduled two games one
with the Globe Trotters and one with
Squint's Terrors of Morton. The
Globe Trotters failed to show up for
some unknown reasons.
Morton Game.
A very exciting and interesting
game was staged between the Co.
ends and the Morton outfit. Morton
had the idea of chalking up an easy
victory and tried to show superior
form but hard fighting and battling
from whistle to whistle gave the Co.
a 20 to II victory.
The first half was fast affair but
both teams were unable to ring up
many baskets. Root and Luscher did
some fast work for the Co. and helped
out in the scoring. The half ended 6
7 to tie.
The last half was nearly as fast as
the first but great deal more scoring
was done. Morton doubled their score
the third quarter and the locals We're
unable to raise their score at all.
Things looked bad for the Co. but
they talked things up between quart
ers and by good passing and hard
playing on defense they raised their
tally until they were in the lead.
They outplayed Morton in every phase
of the game the last quarter and put
up good exhibition of basketball.

WabassO Beaten.

Wednesday of last week Wabasso
came over here with an idea of win
ming from Redwood second time but
they ran up against a different outfit
than they played at the beginning OF
the season and soon lost their idea.
Redwood's first string went fast
the first half so as to let the second
outfit in the last half. Seventeen
points were rolled up the first half by
the Redwood's Quintet while the Wa
basso Aggregation could only account
for three.
The last half the second team was
all put in and they put up a good bat
tie and scored four points. They only
allowed their rivals to make one point
and this was BY the free throw route
The game ended 81 to4 in favor OF
the Cardinal and White.

New Courses in
Manual Training,

Several new phases of industrial
work have been added to the present
industrial course pursued in the high
school. The first of these is electric
al work on which four and five weeks
in spent The chief aim of this course
is to give the boys some knowledge
about practical electricity. Lectures
demonstrations, problems, and expert
ments are the methods used to impart
this information. The. work includes
the simple wire >splices, eight or ten
bell circuits, how to connect lamps in
series, parallel, and series parallel
combination, construction OF the
eiectrolytic cell and the process OF
electroplating, construction and types
of generators and motors, meter read
ing, and rheostat work. The boy is
also acquainted with the national code
Of house wiring and the conditions
that must be met with before the JOB
receives the o. K. of the fire inspect
or.
Plumbing and pipe-ftting equip
ment have been secured and we hope
that in very short time instruction
on simple problems in plumbing and
general pipe-work may be given the
pupils.
Great interest is taken in these
courses and each class taking general
shop work as we'll as farm-shop will
have ample opportunity to take these
industrial courses. AS matter o.
interest to parents who have boys in
these industrial classes, they might
like to know that work in carpentry,
woodwork, saw-filing, concrete work
wood-turning, mechanical-d drawing
auto mechanics and soldering are
given in addition to the two courses
already named.
''The paramount aim of industrial
work is the training and coordination
Of the hand and eye." The boys
learns by actually doing things.

reactionary puppet governments. Thus within
the last week alone nearly one billion francs
in paper money has been issued by the gov
eminent.
Here we have the dilemma. Politically
French capitalist Imperialism must squander
these billions of francs. Financially, it is sui
eide for them to continue piling up huge milf
tary expenses and to support their military
outposts and buffer states against Soviet Rus
STA and Germany. No matter which policy the
French imperialists pursue, they are up against
it. There is no middle of the road in sight for
them. The note circulation legally must not
exceed forty-one billion francs 1t is already
more than forty. The advances Of the bank
to the state must not exceed $4,000, 000, 900
francs. This has already reached the perilous
sum of more than twenty-five billions.
France, capitalist France, is on the brink of
financial ruin, despite the outward appearance
of prosperity. When France totters many
more WILL The crisis in the Belgian cabinet is
merely an echo of the crisis Of French finance
Belgian capitalist policy has been interlaced
with French imperialist policy in the Ruhr and
against Soviet Russia.
"The battle around the franc is one Of the
decisive struggles in Europe. The workers of
the world trust in the working class of France
the working class that has distinguished itself
so often in struggles against oppression, to
bring to a successful conclusion for interna-
tional Communism, for the Communist Inter
national and the workers and poor farmers

Donald and his Cabinet members
cannot straddle this issue. These
Laborites must either go to the left
and call upon the workers to support
them, for the workers are the only
ones who would dare fight imperial
ism, in struggle with the reaction
aries or they must go to the right and
commit suicide by lining up with the
navalists and the capitalist class
served by the navy.
There can be no center, middle posi-
ton, for long at that stage Of the
class conflict when the alternatives
are a strike by Admiral Beatty and
his capitalist clique against the
working class and strike by the
working class against Admiral Beatty
and the employing class. To the
left and forward or to the right and
backward! The Cabinet Socialists
must soon make their decisive choice.

"Battle Around the Franc"

Recent days have seen headlong, perpen-
dicuIar collapse of the Belgian, English, French
and Italian exchanges.
But the center of the great politico-fnancial
battle is now the franc. In the demoralized
foreign exchange markets the franc has
dropped to about three and half cents or
almost one-sixth its normal value. Judging
from the atmosphere prevailing in financial
circles it is safe to conclude that the French
c rrency has not yet hit the bottom and that
t. e next few months will see further collapse.
This tragedy that has befallen the franc, the
symbol of the naughty French mperialists, is
one of the most important political factors in
European and hence in world politics today
To the workers of France it means further
rise in the cost of living. What the increase
of dissatisfaction among the French masses,
already crushed by military burdens, will
bring, no one can tell at this moment. The
May elections in France should prove of great
service to the Communist Party.
The basic reason for the fall of the franc is
to be found in the unsound, unsatisfactory con-
dition of the financial state of affairs of the
government. The French imperaists are face
to face with one of the inextricable, insoIvable
contradictions arising from the capitalist sys-
tenn of production and exchange and all it's
political implications. The French govern
ment has been doing lot Of borrowing and
raising the taxes in order to be able to finance
the armies of such outposts of French impe-
rialsm as Poland and Czecho-Slovakia. The
supremacy of French capitalism on the CONT
nent is contingent upon the support Of these
