HINCKLEY BOYS ARE
DEFEATED BY ASKOV

After losing their first three
basket ball games this season
the Askov quint came through
in fine style last night at the D..
B. S. hall when they downed
Hinckley to the tune of Is to 10;
and of Hinckley's 10 points G.. M.
Nelson (playing with Askov) gets
credit for 2 as he by mistake
once tossed the ball through
.Hinckley's basket The score by
quarters was as follows: 1872,
1914, 1916, and 1910. The Askov
lineup consisted of Ansgar Rod
holm, IF; A. M. DeYoung, If;
C. M. Nelson, C.; Gus Thomson, lg;
Harold Sorensen, re-; and similar
positions were filled by the fol-
lowing Hinckley men: Anderson,
Schafer and Nichols, Dunphey,
Clark and Burch, eLammerts;
Nichols and Burch substituting
in the last quarter. Albert John
Sen refereed the game. There
was room for more spectators
and the boys hope that more will
turn out next time as they ex-
pect to win a few games from
now on.
The Askov basket ball team
was scheduled for a game in
Bruno last Friday and made an
earnest effort to get there but
were stuck in a snow drift about
three and a half miles from home
and finally gave up the attempt
and returned home.

Our WdsI(in15ton Letter

sA1'osn tnIos.A, AssoeGlos s'telAl

Washington, Feb. lit seems
that efforts to make the coal
strike a political issue have
failed. Indications are that
the miners and operators will
settle their own differences
without advice of state and Fed
.eral authorities. 1t is claimed
that once the miners return to
work the matter will be forgot
ten by politicians but not by. the
coal consuming public who must
eventually pay for the strike in
the form of high prices for the
commodity. The old-time is
ues,of capital and labor" which
would have been forced to the
attention of the voting public in
the Forthcoming primaries prob
ably will never find it's place in
the headlines, if the anthracite
matter is quickly settled.
Plans are under way for a
small group of anti-World Court
Senators to carry the issue to
the people, The idea is to defeat
pro-court Senators for renomin-
alton and reelection. Incidently
they hope to pledge prospective
candidates for the Senate to a
platform which will keep this
country out of further partici-
patton in the League of Nations.
Those who are politically am
bilious and run for the Senate
this year will find themselves
besieged with demands of organ
lied groups.
While the debate on the tax
bill is raging in the Senate few
people consider the task that con-
fronts the five Senators and the
five members of the House who
must work out the final bill.
These ten conferees must in a
few days reconcile the differen-
ces between the two legislative
bodies, consider the wishes of the
Executive Department; draft a
measure which will meet with
the approval of their colleagues
and the voters back home.
. Considering the political feat
ures of the tax bill, it is easy
to imagine the problems which
fall to the lot of these ten men.
There are a number, of trading
features in the House bill and
the Senate measure. These

were put in there for the
express purpose of comprom-
Use in conference. Representa-
tives of the Treasury Department
and the congressional tax experts
will assist the Senators and Con
gressmen in these executive SEES
sions.
It appears doubtful that COM
promise tax bill can be worked
out before March Is. The Treas
ury Department, which has
charge of the administration of
the law, is keeping tabs on each
days development in order to
expedite the distribution of tax
income blanks. According to
an opinion Of the Treasury De-
partment this week, it will be
necessary to distribute blanks
for the use of taxpayers with
provisions allowing changes after
the law becomes effective. 1t
requires considerable time to~dis-
tribute these blanks by district
revenue officers and considerably
longer for the taxpayer to work
out his schedule. ,
The House and Senate meas
ures have been changed so much
that it will be difficult to point
out features useful for partisan
gain. The question of rates on
corporation taxes and on sur
taxes is bound to provoke trouble
in conference.
In connection with income tax
matters it is surprising to note
the number of lawyers and so
called tax experts who capitalize
on the technicalities of, tax re-
turns. Several we'll informed
members of Congress have stated
during the debate that the Ma
tons Capital is infested with
former bookkeepers. They are,
it is said, masquerading as tax
experts and would have diff

tax returns, but who are collect

LABOR SAVING>DE
REVOLUTI0NIZE FARMING

The outstanding feature of
American agriculture the last rs
years has been the adoption of la
Dor saving farm machinery" said
H. B. Walker, professor of agri-
cultural engineering in Kansas
State College, to an audience of
farm and university people at
tending Farmers and Home
makers Short Course exercises
at University Farm, st. Paul.
"Seventy-five years ago the
average farm worker cared for IL
acres of crops" he said; today
the average for the United States
is 81 acres, or nearly three times
that of Is years ago. Although
we have only twice the number
of agricultural workers we had
rs years ago, these workers are
caring for nearly six times the
acreage of crops"
It was pointed out by professor
Walker that the direct effect of
these new effciencies and econo-
mics, brought about by labor
saving devices, has been greater
individual returns for the farm
worker, the release of millions
of workers for other pursuits, the
greater production of luxuries,
lower costs of the necessities of
life, shorter working days, and
higher standards of living.

ABOUT STOPPING AT
RAILROAD CROSSINGS

Noting that not all vehicles
are stopping at the railroad
crossings where the "Stop" sig
nails have been placed, the. Amer
lean wrote letter to the Mime
sofa Railroad and Warehouse
Commission few days ago, to
get a little more light on the
subject Under date of Feb. 16,
one of the commissioners, Frank
w. Matson, replied as follows:
Section 7 of the Grade Cross
ing law reads as follows:
Before proceeding across
railroad track at any crossing
marked with such stop sign,
it shall be the duty of all persons
controlling the movement of ve--f
hicles to bring such vehicles to-
a full stop and to ascertain
whether or not trains are ap-
preaching such crossing"
You will see the law applies
to all vehicles including those
that are horse drawn.
The Commission have endeav-
ored to get the greatest publicity
for this law. The newspapers
have been very helpful in the
matter, giving notice of the law
as your paper has at the time of
our inspection visit and reprint
ing stories from other papers.
In addition to that, the Commits
sion have printed the card warn
ing automobile drivers of the re-
quirements of the law and a copy
is handed out with each
set Of license plates is
sued by the Secretary of State.
We have printed the same notice
on gummed paper and automo-
bile dealers are FASTING them on
wind-shields of new cars turned
out. We are trying in every
way to get information of the
law to the public.
The Attorney Generals office
informs us that the enforcement
of the law is up to the local au-
thorities. We have obtained the
promise on the part of most
municipalities to have the Con-
stable or Marshal watch. the
crossings and see the law is en-
forced. IL.
We are receiving a great many
reports of violations and are
writing a letter, copy-of which
we enclose for your information.
The Legislature allowed us no
additional appropriation for the
administration of this law and
we are compelled to depend upon
the assistance of local authori-
ties. We have made no at
tempts to arrest violators as yet,
believing that it is largely mat
ter of educating the drivers and
if they understand the law they
will obey it voluntarily.
We agree with you that unless
the law is enforced it will not
amount to much, but our hope
is that as the drivers come to
understand they will realize the
benefit and we are in hopes that
the drivers will take it upon
themselves to warn other drivers
and report them if they disobey
the law. In order to enforce
the law strictly, it would be nee
essary to have a large force of
traffic officers all over the state.
This may come in time, but the
Legislature so far has not evil
denced any willingness to auth.
orize state traffic force.
We appreciate very much, your
interest in the matter and your
assistance in bringing this law to
the attention of your readers.
If there is any further informa-
tion~we can give you relative to
it, we will be very glad to do so.

The populace of Copenhagen,
Denmark, last week enthusiastic
cally received and acclaimed the
crew of the American ship, Cas-
per, which arrived there after
having rescued the crew Of the
sinking Norwegian steamer, Pin

sea. The rescue was effected
under particularly trying circum-
stances, as evidenced by the. fact
that the Morse vessel went to

minutes after the last man had
been taken off. Throughout

paign IN Denmark to suggest to
farmers Of that country that un-
limited possibilities await them
in the British Dominions of

reports, the campaign has so far

because of the unprecedented UNI
