Track Team
Did Well at
MankatO Meet
BIG BEN" JACKSON BRINGS
HOME LAURELS FOR SCHOOL
BY BEATING TRACK RECORD
IN HALF-MILE RUN.
fBv WILD RICEl

After a number of years during
which Redwood Falls High School has
had no track team the local Cardinal
and White crew sailed forth to the
Mankato meet last Saturday. Six
teen schools and 1876 track men were
entered. Albert Lea, Arlington, Blue
Earth Delevan, Fairmopt, Faribault,
Glencoe, Lakefield, Marshall, Manka-
to, Montevideo, Mountain Lake, North
field, Owatonna, Redwood Falls, Ro-
chester and Wells ran and jumped
their way through to fame.
Mankato won the meet, Montevideo
got second place, Faribault received
third and Redwood Falls and Blue
Earth tied for fourth. Redwood
placed fourth in the 440-yard gallop
when Hosken, after leading nearly
all the way was passed by three stall
warts. Hosken later captured third
in the broadjump with leap of 19
feet three-fourths inch.
One of the prettiest races of the
day was the half mile with 26 en-
trants ready for the gun. Ben Jack
son, Redwood's Nurni, was boxed in
the second line at the start. Once
he could break away, however, he
showed his stuff and romped home,
victor in real race. Jackson's time
was 2 minutes Z second, breaking the
track record by six and four-fifths
seconds. If fairly lucky in the draw
and pushed, Big Ben should knock
down some records in the meets to
follow.
Redwood's crack relay team was
composed of John jackson, Arthur
Manning, Thomas Hosken and Dean
Hauck. These neet-footed dash men
showed their heels to the rest of the
towns in the half mile relay.
All winners received individual gold
medals and were guests of the Teach

Roads Benefit
MINNESOTA DIVIDES NEARLY
$4,000, 900 ANNUAL AID FUND.
AND "a COUNTIES GAIN IN
BETTER HIGHWAYS.

In return for $22,329 of taxes paid
under the state general 1-mill levy
this year, Redwood county will receive
$22,350 of state aid for local roads,
under the apportionment announced
this week by the board made up of
State Treasurer Henry Hines, Audi
tor r. P. Chase and Charles M. Bah
cock, commissioner of highways.
With the state aid included, nearly
SIS, 100000 will be available for Min
nesota local roads-mainly county and
township which carry less than a
fifth of the road travel in the state.
For the trunk highways serving over
80 per cent of the traffic, it was re-
Gently given out, there will be about
SIC, ,5OO,00 or some $4,000, 900 for
maintenance and $6,5OO,OOO for i'm
prOvements.
Hennepin, Ramsey and st. Louis
are the only counties failing to re-
rceive as much OR more in aid than
their taxpayers contributed to the
fund under the state 1-mill tax levy
Those three wealthiest counties paid
nearly $4,000 in taxes. Ramsey
and St. Louis received allotment OF
5000 each, and Hennepin will actually
get but $4,000, having made trans
fers of $500 to Pine, $4,000 to Rice
and $500 to Scott counties.
Sixty-seven counties will receive aid
considerably in excess of their respec-
tive tax contributions to the fund
and some as much as $40 for 81. The
principle of state aid is that coun-
ties of large assessed valuations
should contribute toward needed i'm
provements on roads in counties hav-
ing less wealth to tax. The same
principle operates in the Babcock
good roads plan, under which all OF
the motor vehicle and gasoline taxes
are used on main country roads over
the state, and none within the cities
of Minneapolis, ST. Paul and Duluth
where more than third of the taxes
are collected.

Root the jury decided for the de-
fendant G. B. Root and a verdict of
$2,08O.70 was rendered against w. H.

This summarizes the work done dur

Rise in Bus
Fare Predicted
Under New Rule
ONE CONCERN PLANS 3K CENTS
A MILE CHARGE; VIRTUALLY
SAME AS RAILROADS; LINES
NOT AGREED ON RATE.

Bus travel in Minnesota will be
more expensive after the railroad and
warehouse commission acts on appli-
cations of bus companies for licenses
officials of the companies predicted
last week while schedules were being
prepared for submission to the COM
mission by May Is.
One of the large bus operating COM
panies is drafting it's schedules OF
rates on a 31a cents mile basis
which is virtually the rate charged
by the railroads. The bus companies
however, have not agree on uniform
rate base to prevail in proposed
schedules.
Some of the large companies an.
nounced last night that they woulo
make application to the commission
for permits, with rates virtually un.
changed, although they indicated that
adjustments upward were expected
from the commission.
Already some of the bus companies
have made changes in rates, prelim-
mary to- filing applications.
The Northland Transportation Com
pany, with present headquarters al
Duluth and which just has been re-
organized, has made rates effective or
strict 3 1a cent basis from any point
on its routes to any other point.
The jefferson Highway Transpor-
tation Company which has had q
$l75 competitive round trip rate eff
fective from st. Cloud to Minneapo-
lis, has withdrawn this rate and is
charging flat rate one way.
These are indicative of further ad.
justments which are held to be prob
able.
The first hearings on bus company
license applications are to be conduct.
ed in June. Every bus company op.
Grating in Minnesota must make ap.
plication not later than May Is.

Redwood Co.
Will Help
Council of Agri.
UNITED EFFORT TO BE MADE
BY ALL FARM ORGANIZATIONS
TO FURTHER LEGISLATION
HELPFUL TO FARMERS.

Redwood county through special
committee named, consisting of A.
M. Denistoun, Redwood Falls; VIM.
Duncan, Milroy; and w. M. Sandager,
Belview, gave assurance Tuesday to
p A. Egeland, secretary of the Min
nesota committee of the American
Council of Agriculture, that it would
do its part in supporting the work of
that organization by payment of its
share toward the states quota of $4,-
900. The amount asked of Redwood
county is but $85, and this Mr.. Ege-
land, who was visitor in Redwood
Falls on Tuesday, was told would un-
questionably be taken care of in the
near future.
The American Council of Agricul-
ture was organized last July in st.
Paul, at a meeting at which 49 ma
tional, state and district farm organ
izations were represented, for the
single purpose of uniting the efforts
of farm organizations to get American
agriculture brought to an equality
with industry and labor in the Ameri-
can protective system. Through this
organization a plan was submitted
by the farm bodies to the Agricultural
Coolidge and was afterwards present
ed to the agricultural committees of
both the House and Senate.
A bill embodying the plan and
known as the Farmers Export Cor
poration bill was favorably reported
out by both committees in the recent
short session but no special attempt
was made to push the bill for enact
ment. A very strong effort, it is
reported, will be made to have the
plan given favorable attention at the
coming session of Congress to guard
against a recurrence of agricultural
depression, such as has been ex-
perienced in the past four years, by
providing for the segregation and
expectation of the surpluses of ex-
portable crops produced so that the
domestic requirements will market
upon American levels instead of world
market levels as now.
Congressman Clague was a strong
supporter of the McNarey- -Haugen
bill when it was before Congress and
this bill was founded upon the prin-
ciple for the adoption of which the
farm organizations united in the
American Council of Agriculture are
striving now.
In discussing the movement
with a representative of the Ga
zette, Mr.. Egeland drew atten-
tion to the fact that it was one
that should have the active support of
business interests as well as of farm
ers; not, Mr. Egeland said, because
it was one particularly pertaining to
the farm business, but because COM
mercial interests of the west were
vitally interested in prosperous
agriculture, and agriculture could moi
possibly be that if it should be re-
quired to continue marketing it's pro
ducts upon low level and buy on 8
high or protected one. The level tina
prevailed prior to 1918, as between in
dustry, labor and agriculture, must
Mr.. Egeland pointed out, be agair
arrived at for agriculture or it faced
a situation that eventually meant the
reduction to position of peasantry
for large portion of those engaged
in it.

PLOT IN GERMANY
DENIED BY RUSSIAN
Another Defendant Com

sion Was Extorted.
By the Associated Press.


LEIPZIG. Germany. February 10
The trial of the 16 Communists here
for murder and terroristic acts took
a dramatic turn yesterday when the
Russian defendant, SkobieVSky, cate
gorically denied he was the military
organizer of the so-called German
"cheka," and Ernest Poege another
of the defendants, recalled all the
statements which he had made in pre-
liminary hearings and declaged they
had been eXtorted by inquisitorial
methods.
Skobievsky, whom the defendant
Felix Neumann alleged was sent from
Russia by the third internationale to
organize an armed revolt, testified he
reached Germany in February, 1924,
via France, where he had been since
1915, arriving there originally on. d
Russian transport.
Neumann, when confronted with
SkobievSky, insisted that mistaken
identity was impossible.
Poege, while admitting on the wit
ness stand that he had been assigned
70 work with Neumann and was ac-
Quainted with the Iatter'S declared in
tention to murder Gen. Won. Seeckt
insisted that he did not think Neu-
mann meant business In Poege's
opinion, Neumann was merely trying
to make an impression on his CO.
workers.

prise. The latter took the most
acceptable means OF beating
Illinois, they stopped Red" Grange.
PittsburgE1ss defeat by Lafayette
came as shock, particularly after
the Panthers had stepped out to al
early lead. They uncovered a
marked weakness against a forward
passing attack. however. and
Lafayette lost no time in taking
advantage of it.
Milder shocks followed the vic
tories OF Villa Nova anu FsuT1lanl

strenuous afternoon experienced BY
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio
state and Chicago.
Villa Nova, coached by Stuhldre-
