The Gaylord crew was a powerful

SUPERINTENDENT HARGIS AND
BOARD OF EDUCATION RECOG-
NIZE ABILITY OF PRESENT
TEACHING FORCE.

The Board of Education was
chiefly concerned at its meeting held
last week in the reelection of teacn-
ers for the coming year. A meeting
of the teachers committee with Supt
Hargis, held several days prior tt
the regular meeting of the Board
resulted in the presentation oe a..
the names of the teaching staff tt
the Board. The names were approx
ed as presented and the entire stat
reelected for the next year. Nj.
Hargis, was reelected at the Febrl.
rary meeting of the Board.
A few members of the staff have
already announced plans for work liz
other fields or in other lines next
year and it is known that there VII
be several vacancies to be filled.
Contracts will be signed on or about
March 25th.
The Board of Education feels that
the schools have been exceptionally
fortunate in the group of men and
women, twenty-eight in all, who have
CARRIED forward the work of the
public schools during the present
year. Headed by Mr.. Hargis the
work has gone forward steadily in
spite of many irregularities due t,
the erection of the new building. Ir.

Guards Close
Brisk Season
With Defeat
MORTON DEFEATS COMPANY L.
BASKETEERS IN GAME AT
MORTON TUESDAY EVE. SCORE
1920.

Last Tuesday evening the Redwood
GuardsmtHl carried the sword into
the Morton camp and received moth
ing but beating, as the Green hoop
sters took their measure by census
of 25-20. The game was tough anG
fast, but no rough stuff was pulled,
side. This battle closed the seasol.
for both teams, and worthy gang
of footers was out to pray for each
crew. The local boys lead the val
ley aggregation through the first
half, but the green soX came around
IN the second period and took the
bacon by number of well-placed
field shots. Gaasch did the heavy
work for the Mortonites, with Simons,
who showed up so well in the former
game against the blue tosers. Or
their own court the Morton tosse1s
worked with an ease and confidence
which they lacked in the contest at
the Redwood armory. Burgis got
into the fray during the second half
and left his 1ich on the score booi.
for a much needed counter, Potzwold,
from his station at guard, sailed
down the floor and sank pair of
, dueces, besides various free shots
which went to swell the Morton
count.
On the Company outfit, Donlin did
the important scoring, with Castle,
Bobzin and Hoffert chipping n witt
goal each. Several free offerings
were also lined up on the credit sice
of the blue ledger to make the 20
points with which the guards had to
content themselves. The soldiers
played a fast, steady game, but the
Mortc.l pumpkin raisers, on their
own floor, are harder to whip thai:
fresh cream. Thus ended the most
successful basket ball season which
a Redwood crew has gone through
for several years, possibly fifty-three.
A resume of the season can be found
by little search.

Spring Elections
Fail to Call Out
Impressive Vote
RETURNS SHOW LITTLE INTER
EST; COUNTY AGENT CUES
TION IGNORED IN MANY PRE-
CINCTS. -

Township and village elections held
last Tuesday were on the whole very
quiet and a full report of officers
elected and other business transact
ed will be ready for publication fol-
lowing the meeting of the canvass
ing board. According to early. re-
turns the vote was light in most
precincts and no matters Of vital
Importance were considered.
Several of the townships voted on
the question of retaining the Coun-
ty Agent but the majority of them,
judging from the returns in at
present, ignored the question for one
reason or another. Those voting
were, in the majority of cases, op-
posed to the appropriation Of money
for the County Agents salary. This
matter is due to be considered by the
Board of Commissioners at its regu-
lar meeting April 7th. The most
of the townships are apparently III
favor of continuing the County Ali
plan of Road Building.
In the vicinity of Redwood Falls
the following officers were elected:
Redwood Falls township: William
Flaherty, supervisor; ID. M. Tiffany,
clerk; Walter King, treasurer; Phil
Kramer, assessor.

RIGHT TO PRINT
TAX RETURNS
ARGUED
Beck, Senator Reed and For
mer Secretary Baker Appear
in Supreme Court

The right of newspapers to pub
lish individual income tax pay
ments was argued today before the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
The Kansas City Journal-PoSt
and the Baltimore Daily Post, two
of the many newspapers publishing
such returns under the publicity
feature Of the 1924 revenue law,
were indicted by the Government
for a test case.
The lower Federal courts held
publications were legal.
Solicitor General Beck argued Tor
the Government today that inspec-
ton was a much narrower right
than that OF publication. He said
that sreat harm might be done
through the publicity OF income
returns and the inQuigitiveness OF
Paul Prys into the private affairs
Of individuals. This was not con.
templated or desired, under the
law, he said.
Senator Reed Of Missouri and for.
mer Secretary OF War Newton D.
Baker of Ohio, representing the
newspapers, argued that the law
gave the right Of publication in the
newspapers when it provided that
the returns should be opened TO
public inspection.
They contended there was no pro.
hibition against dissemination OF
the tax returns by speech, and the
effort by the Government to punish
the newspapers was an abridg.
ment OF the freedom Of the press
which was prohibited by the Fed
eral Constitution.
