MANY RIOTERS BOOST TEAM
AT DISTRICT MEET
LAST FRIDAY.

Last Friday the local High School
took part in the district basketball
tournament held at New Ulm. Red.
wood Falls, New Ulm, Tyler and
Marshall were the teams competing
and they represented that many sub
districts. The local team went down
on the special train and with them
were about one hundred and fifty loyal
supporters Of the Cardinal and White.
In the afternoon Redwood and New
U,m played and Marshall and Tyler.
Redwood and Tyler won the two after
noon games SO they were scheduled
to pit themselves against each other
in the evening. Large numbers of
Redwood Falls people motored to
New Ulnl for the evening game.
Promptly at eight o'clock, with the
armory resounding with cheers, the
two teams went into action. The
Cardinal and White Five, with
thoughts of chance on going to the
state tournament, went into the fracas
and gave everything they had, which
was a whole lot considering the fast
and hard fought battle they had had
with New Ulm in the afternoon

Redwood players, nearly all in
from their fast game in the afternoon
were not able to go their limit but
we're determined to put up hard
fight and anyone who saw them in
action will say that they did. Bobzin
who took Hoskens place at center
felt the strain about the most as he
had played center in only few games
before. Hoskens was unable to take
part in the tournament at all or
even to attend on the account of q
foot injured in the Sleepy Eye game
This game was not as fast as the
afternoon game but was a hard fought
affair. Tyler was mighty good
team and were dead on long shots as
most all of their shots were made
from the center of the foor When
the half ended the score stood II to
in favor of Tyler.

Potato Campaign
Far Beyond Quota
TOTAL MEMBERSHIP is MORE
THAN 12,17e, ACREAGE UNDER
CONTRACT 16O,424.

The next time the Minnesota Spud
leaves the farm, he'll go protected
by a gigantic cooperative marketing
agency.
This figure of speech summarizes
the campaign to organize the new
Minnesota Potato Growers Exchange
The organization drive ended March
1st., with the state office in posses
sion of 1910 contracts, covering
160,424 acres. The acreage signed is
40.261 more than the state quota OF
120, 1853 acres, required under the con-
tract before further steps to establish
the agency could be taken. Every
mail, up to March 10. was bringing
in belated contracts. The committee
is accepting as members, those whose
contracts show they were signed be-
fore March 1st.
=. The state agency will begin fune-
-tioning this year with a. membership
of at least 81 county associations, thae
number of counties having signed the
legal quota of so per cent Or more
of its commercial acreage.
Counties which obtained the legal
acreage required follows: Anoka, Ait
kin, Becker, Beltrami, Carlton, CHS
ago, Cass, Clay, Clearwater, Grow
Wing, Dakota, Douglas. Hubbard
Isanti, Itasca, Kanabec, Kittson, Lin
coin, Mahnomen, Marshall, Mile Laos
orman, Ottertail, Pennington, Pine,
Polk, Red Lake, Roseau, Washington,
Wilkin and Winona.
The executive board of the general
state committee met with Aaron
Sapiro on March 8, received a report
from S. G. Rubinow, campaign man
ager, and authorized steps to begin
the. incorporation Of county associa-
tions. This task will be started by
holding elections at which members
in each county that has its quota win
elect five trustees. Plans call for
holding these elections just as quickly
as possible.
In eight counties in which organiza-
tion work had been conducted.Ben
ton, Morrison, st. Louis, Sherburne,
Stearns, Todd, Wadena and Wright
the required quota had not been OBJ
tanned when the board met. If belat-
ed contracts raise the acreage to the
quota, these will be regularly incor-
porated. If not, those who have first
signed will be given an opportunity
to withdraw. IF enough members
wish to remain in the organization,
special in corporation steps win be
taken, after the counties that have
the required acreage are organized.

Confucianism and Buddhism, showing
how the incorporating of certain
teachings from the Shinto belief and
of CONTIGUOUS might be helpful in
training the character of Japanese
Christians. She also showed that
Buddhism is the most dangerous of
the foes OF Christianity in the coun-
tries in which it is followed.

McNary-Haugen
Bili Worth Billion
FARM BUREAUS WASHINGTON
SPOKESMAN TELLS COMMIT
TEE WHAT PLAN WILL DO.

''The McNary-Haugen bill is worth
billion dollars to farmers of the
country" Gray Silver, Washington
representative of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, told members OF
the House Agricultural committee at
Washington last week.
eff this plan had been in operation
last year, wheat farmers would have
received 1925 100000 more for the
CROP" he said, "but we must remem-
Der that it applies to all crops IN
which there is an exportable surplus.
If the bill had been law in 1928,
wheat would have brought so cents
more bushel; corn, 16 cents more,
heavy hogs, 1888 more, cattle, SLIT
more and sheep, $1.08 more"
Mr.. Silver told the committee that
the plan. stripped of its details, has
two powers:
First, it determines what money
prices for agricultural products should
De in order to equal in purchasing
power the price received by the farm
er for the same products during pre-
war years. For example, if five
bushels of wheat would buy pair of
shoes of certain quality before the
war, the bill determines price for
five bushels of wheat which will pur
chase the same pair of shoes at the
present time.
Secondly, having determined these
fair prices, the. bill provides a, buying
corporation to go into the market at
any time to purchase at the determin-
ed price. This is not arbitrary price
fixing, he said, but merely the insur-
ance of farm commodity prices equal
in exchange value with the prices OF
manufactured and other products.
Then there is provision for the
maintenance of tariffs on the affected
products at point high enough to
protect the enhanced prices from
foreign competition.

Game Earns
Fifty Dollars
LIBRARY BOOK FUND INCREAS-
ED BY BENEFIT GAME AT
ARMORY THURSDAY EVE.

Thursday evening at the armory
the sporting fans of Redwood Falls
saw rare exhibition of basketball
staged between the Fats and the
Leans. The Fats showed their bet
ter ability and greater knowledge of
the game in their style of play and
as a result won out by a sizeable
score.
The game was sponsored by the
American Legion as a benefit for the
Book Fund of the Redwood Falls
Public Library and the net proceed
amounting to fifty dollars were donat-
ed for this purpose. This gift is
gratefully received, not only by the
members of the Library Board but
by all the residents of the city who
have realized the need for new books,
and the impossibility of stretching the
library appropriation to meet that
need.
Each outfit had three sets of teams
so that fresh players could be put in
at short intervals to keep the game
going in fast order. The crowd was
kept excited all of the time by the
possibility that there may be some
y
and when such players as Zorn,
Sanders or Capt. Showalter fell it
was a chance for a trial of the
strength of the structure.
Capt Clement and Gene Charlebois
were placed against each other at
center and what Charlebois lacked in
length was made up by a box on
which he stood. It was some time
before any scoring was done on ac-
count of the excellent guarding done
by both teams and not on account of
poor shooting. The first half ended
in favor of the Fats.
The last half was a faster affair
and some good plays were gotten Off
The Fats started a short passing game
and the Leans didn't seem to be able
to cover enough floor space to stop 1t.
When the final whistle blew and end
ed the hard fought battle the Fats
were vociferously victorious.
A suitable loving cup was MADE
last year by Gene Charlebois, to be
awarded each year to the captain of
the winning team. This year Capt.
Showalter will be allowed to keen 1t
in his trophy case. The presentation
was made by Mrs. T.. E. Finn, chair
man of the Book Committee Of the
Library Board Mrs. Films few re-
marks were clever and amusing and
she also took advantage of the op-
portunity to give to the audience
some interesting facts concerning the
work of the library and its worth, as
a public institution.

csS'ried by the fisher lads to the
Court Of the Mikado. The MikaGo
sends ambassadors to the Island to
negotiate for. the hand of Yanki San.
The Prince refuses to let them see
Yanki San, and suggests that they
take one of the Seven, but they de-
part. in anger.
Finally, all cures being of no avail,
to awaken the Princess from the spell
Of the Wolf Witch, her father offers
her hand to whomsoever will slay the
Wolf Witch and break its charm.

Mikado, slays the Wolf Witch, and

State Convention
Is Harmonious
sen ATOR ROCkNE PRESIDES
OVER PEACEFUL MEETING IN
ST. PAUL SATURDAY.

Minnesota's delegation to the Re-
publican national convention June 10
at Cleveland, Ohio, was completed
Saturday by the election of seven
delegates-at-la large, instructed for Ere
sident Coolidge and pledged to sup
port the McNary- -Haugen bill.
For three days it has been evident
that the G. o. P. state gathering was
to break all records for harmony ana
the convention Saturday lived up to
all predictions.
The best reason for the harmony
was evident Saturday afternoon when
the convention unanimously elected
Colonel Charles H. March, manager
of the Coolidge campaign in the state,
as its first delegate t-large after all
previous factions of the party had
joined in lauding him for his work in
the campaign.
For the first time in the history
of Republican conventions in Mime
sofa, all of the delegates -at-large
were chosen by. acclamation. Not a
record vote was taken on any can
didate and not one delegate contest
went before the credentials commit
tee. -
The resolutions offered no sur
prises. Instructions for Coolidge and
laudation of his administration
brought applause and cheers. Recog-
nition of former service men also
provoked applause as did recommend
alton Of the McNary- -Haugen bill.
The report of the resolutions COM
mittee was presented by Chairman
Frank E. Putnam of Blue Earth and
was read by Secretary John |. Levin
of st. Paul.
The report urged adequate and
prompt aid to disabled war veterans
just application and enforcement Of
the soldiers preference act; adjusted
compensation to the service men and
no unnecessary delay in providing the
funds for the payment of soldiers
bonus"
Members of the Minnesota deiega-
ton in Congress were urged to sup
port the McNary -Haugen bill and a
copy Of this resolution was sent Sat
urday night to President Coolidge.
Restoration of party Designation to,
candidates for the State Legislature
and legislation to check mob rule
lynching, intimidation and coercion"
also were recommended. The pro-
vision asking the legislature back on
a party basis was received with
cheers.
I After organizing at the morning
session by electing Rockne chairman
and Levin secretary, and the ap-
pointment of the credentials and res
olutions committees, the convention
recessed until / P. NJ.
