Every Farmer
to Join Bureau
STATE VICE PRESIDENT GIVES
OLIVIA KIWANIANS SOME
TIMELY ADVICE AT MONDAY
MEETING.

Every business man IN village, OF
city. and especially those who own
farms should be enrolled as members
Of the Farm Bureau" says Andrew j.
Olson of Renville, vice president of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau. The
occasion of Mr.. Olson's remark was
meeting of the Kiwanis Club of
Olivia Monday of last week, Mr.. Oh
son being the speaker of the day.
In speaking of some III the ac-
complishments of the organization,
Mr.. Olson pointed out that the FARM
Bureau was instrumental in doing
away with the Pittsburgh-plus plan,
which meant saving Of $500 a ton
on steel. Its activity has also served
to prevent a raise in freight rates,
and it is now seeking to establish q
stable market and to take the matter
of price fixing out of the hands Of
gamblers. He spoke of the value OF
the service Of county agents in pro-
noting the welfare of farmers thru
organization work, and called atten-
tion to what had been accomplished
in the egg marketing and in the boys
and girls-club work.

Last Saturday afternoon the foot

good advantage. 1t will be remem-
bered that last year Window laced

Cardinal and White crew went on
the field preparing to give all they
had in revenge, and they did. Far
from being over confident or even
confident, for the boys only hoped
and determined to make Windcm wor <
.'or any victory, the team took the
field with the best fighting spirit
seen in years and fight they did.
The only discouraging feature o.
the grueling contest was the size of
the crowd for after expenses wer !.

The team deserves better support
than that and on top of It all about

SERVICE IS POPULAR; r. r.
COMMISSION TO DECIDE.

A well attended hearing was helc
at Redwood Falls, Tuesday, October
9th before the Railroad ard Ware
house Commission of the State OF
Minnesota at which the Interstate
Transportation Company applied for
permission to continue the operation
Of the busses which have been Civ

from Minneapolis to Sioux Falls.
Attorney Erdahl of Minneapolis ap-
peared for the Milwaukee railroad
while Attorney Jaynes OF, st. Paul
appeared in behalf of the Interstate
Transportation Company. More than
one hundred representatives of the
towns between Sioux Falls end Red.
wood Falls were present.
The opposition to the continuance OF
the operation of the busses attempted
to prove that as great service would
be rendered to the public if the busses
were allowed to operate from all
points south and west of Olivia and
connect with the Milwaukee railroad
The bus company contends that the
public much prefers the bus service
it has been given to that of the
trains, this service being a saver OF
both money and time. The decision
of the Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission will be made public later.
Petitions from many towns of
southwestern Minnesota were pre-
sented to Commissioner Bowen of the
Railroad and Warehouse Commission
for the continuance of the bus SER
vice from Minneapolis to Sioux Falls
There were many testimonies that the
hus service affords the only convent
ent and quick service to the adjoin-
ing counties. The meeting was ad-
journed to Olivia Wednesday morn
ing where the witnesses for the rail-
road company were examined. At
this meeting it was said that the
Milwaukee railroad would be unable
to continue the high class service at
the same freight rate if the busses
were allowed to operate. Only about
twenty representative citizens talk

County Gets
$19,664.OO of
State School FUNDS
REDWOOD HAS FIVE TH0US-
AND PUPILS DRAWING STATE
AID; STATE HAS 504,630. IN
CREASED ATTENDANCE.

Redwood County's share of the
semi-annual apportionment OF the
current state school fund will be
SIS, 9,664.00 based on total of 4916
pupils.
Word to this effect was received this
week from the state auditor with the
additional information that distribu-
ton of the fund among the various
counties of the state will be made at
en- early date.
Apportionment of the current state
school fund which is derived from the
earnings of the permanent school
fund and the receipts from the one
mill school tax is made in March and
October of each year and the pres
ent distribution is for the school per-
iod ending July 31st.
The total amount to be distributed
is $2,019,127. based on an enroll
ment of 504,630 pupils, which is a
net gain of 1892 over the previous
year. The apportionment is on the
basis of $4.00 per pupil, the same as
last October.
Although the basis of apportion-
ment of the fund was total of 504,-
$50 pupils for the school year the
actual total enrolment in the schools
cf the state was 545,956 net gai,
of 1,492 over the previous year. The
use of the first named figure was
because Of the fact that only this
rumber of pupils attended school ths
required number of days.
One of the outstanding features OF
the school enrolment this year is the
increased regularity in school at
tendance over the previous year
Because of this fact 6,483 additional
pupils were added to the list entitled
to share in the apportionment al
though the net gain in total enroll
ment over the previous year was L..
492 pupils.
Distribution of the current school
fund for the second period will be
made just as soon as the various
county treasurers of the state make
their November tax settlements with
the state audior.
