to leave equipment that has been

a pair of forwards built like pro-
fessional wrestlers, also lived up
to their reputation of resorting to
rough tactics to win, and with good
effect. The official, whose inten-
tions were good enough, called
most of the numerous violations,
but the locals failed to convert
the chances at the foul line into
points, missing all but one out of
fifteen tries. All in all it was a
rather hectic exhibition of basket
ball.
Peters, Alexandria forward, was
high scorer with two field goals
and as many free throws for 6
points. Leach and Carlson also
tossed in two baskets apiece. The
Sank Centre scoring was evenly
divided between Miller, O'Gara,
Walden and Frank, who also had
the honor of making the single
gift shot.

Prospects Improving Fair
for Real Estate Movement
Sales Already Made in Central
Minnesota in 1927 Indicate
Improvement

Numerous reports seem to in
dictate that land sales this year will
be more numerous than last year.
There was very fair movement
of land in 1926, especially during
the latter part of the year, but
the memories of the boom of 1919
are still with us, so that an ordi-
nary normal land movement does
not look very big any more. Ex-
act figures on sales are not avail
able, but list prepared by local
authority shows that during 1926
there were at least 16 farms sold
in the western third of Stearns
county, IA of which were improv-
ed farms bringing from $66 to
$140 per acre; the other two, un-
improved, brought $40 and $85.
These sales were all on a cash
basis, and were mostly made to
neighbors, which is a very encour-
aging feature.
The State Bank of Lowry, Pope
county, reports II farms sold in
that vicinity during 1926, at prices
from sos to $40 per acre. All
cash sales to neighbors.
Numerous reports of land sales
prompted an Eastern life insurance
company recently to gather infor-
nation. This is being done
through its st. Paul office, the
work having been started a month
ago. The information contained
in its printed report of Feb. Is, is
very interesting, for not less than
go sales are shown in compare
lively small territory. Over "a
third of these sales were made in
1927. They were made in the
territory comprising the following
counties; Nicollet, Brown, Mcleod,
Mower, Redwood, Sibley, Rem
vile and Waseca. Complete re-
ports are not available for all
sales in the above counties. OF
the 60 sales, one farm brought
500, another IA forced sale, 500,
and the rest ranged from 500 to
5000 in price, no trades. At Hans
ka, four sales were made in Jan
uary. Hutchinson reports one sale
made in February, and 80, at
5000; Hector reported one i'm
portant recent sale of 800 acre
farm three miles out at $4,000,
of which $22,500 was cash.
1t would seem from the above
that the Minnesota farmer has not
been anxiously waiting President
Coolidge's signature to the farm
relief bulk. In fact it would ap-
pear that he has been entirely dis
regarding it. Minnesota agricul-
ture must be on a pretty sound
basis to cause such sales. The
bargain, counter is pretty well
cleared, prices are stiffening, and
that means more sales.

Better Roads Save State
Autoists Many Dollars
Operating Costs IL to 21s Cents
Higher in Other States, Sales
mems Accounts Show

If all the $4,000 automobiles in
Minnesota We're scattered through
the central states east of here, the
owners would have to pay $48,-
100000 a year more than they do
in Minnesota for operating costs.
This statement, says State High
way bulletin, is based upon the
cost accounts of two Minneapolis
firms, one of which operates so
salesmen's cars in ten north cent
raj states, the other in four. These
firms found their average costs
from half cent to 2.5 per mile
higher in the other states than in
Minnesota.
One of these firms gave its av-
erage cost in Minnesota in 1926
at 3.4 cents a mile, 3.9 in one 9TH
er state, Al in another, 4.3, A.,
At and 5.5 in other states and 4.6
in three states. The company buys
tires and supplies in large guam
titles, at wholesale, and this with
the large mileage covered and low
depreciation, accounts for the low
cost per mile, but this would not
affect the ratio between the states.
The second company reported
that their average was IL cents
mile higher in one state than in
Minnesota, 1.9 in another and 2.5
in another. Both companies, for
business reasons, did not make
public the names of the states. The
statesmen of both companies use
both trunk highways and second
airy roads. The states which show
ed the lowest average, next to Min
nesota, have a large mileage of
paved highways, but the second
airy roads are not as well develop
ed. In Minnesota the trunk high
way plan released the state aid
funds for use on secondary roads,
and in proportion to traffic,
these have seen as much improve
ment as the trunk highways.
By multiplying the number of
machines by the number of miles
the average person drives, and null
tiplying this by one-half cent a
mile, it is found that good roads
saved Minnesota motorists $751;
000,00 in 1926, as compared to
the state with the next best aver
age, and sos, 900, 900 as compared
to the state with the highest aver
age cost. The difference between
Minnesota and the average of all
the other states in the group was
l 1-3 cent mile, and on this basis
good roads save car owners in the
state $48,00O,000 a year.
Completing the necessary inn
provements on the Minnesota
trunk highways, which carry more
than half the total traffic of the
State, and at the same time con-
tinuing the betterments on the sec
ondary roads, win mean still fur
Their reduction in gasoline, tire
and repair bills. It is quite APP
parent, says the bulletin, that
eve pay for good roads whether
we have them or not, and we pay
more when we do not have them. "

Sank Centre Will Have
Free Delivery Mail Service
Continued from Page One

and find that such a service
would be a great benefit to
the city as a whole, and do
hereby indorse and propose
as a resolution to the Com
munity Club, that the City
free delivery service be in
augurated.
Lynn w. Whitson, Chairman.
II. w. Bishop.
E. C. Calkins.
George O'Gara.
J. A. Schoenhoff.
The Community Club endorsed
the recommendations of the COM
mittee by a unanimous vote. Last
evening representatives of the
Club met with the City Council,
explained the steps necessary to
be taken by the city before free
delivery could be established. The
council were in receptive condi-
ton and are willing TO carry out
any reasonable requests made by
the Club to make free delivery
possible.
Before free delivery is estab-
1ished the postoffice department re-
quires that all streets should be
properly marked and the houses
numbered. The city will bear the
burden of expense of marking the
streets, something that should be
done whether free delivery is es-
tablished or not. The Herald pre-
sumes that the expense of number
ing the homes and business places
will necessarily be borne by the
owners or occupants of the homes
or places of business.
If the system is established it
will be optional with the resident
whether he avails himself of the
service. He may retain his box
at the postoffice, if he desires,
and still avail himself of the ser
vice.
When the question was brought
TO the attention of the Community
Club there was some speculation
as to the effect it would have on
business, some contending that if
the system was established many
of the older residents would rarely
come up town. The following
from a recent issue of the Hamp-
ton, Iowa, Chronicle, does not
bear out this contention:
Fifteen year ago this month
free city delivery of mail was
inaugllrated in Hampton. T.
w. Purcell was postmaster
at that time, and the pres
emit postmaster, Walter B.,
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1927-03-03

Luke, was assistant. The To-
cal officials had no easy time
securing the service for Hamp-
ton, and the local opposition
was much more general than
people now would suppose.
A good many business men
believed that residents of the
city would never come down
town again, and all they
would do would be to stay at
home and read the big cat
alloys.
However, most everybody
is now convinced that city
delivery was a mighty good
thing for the town, as we'll as
a great convenience for hun
dreds of the local residents.
Practically every house in
town is now served with de-
livery mail, although most of
the business firms, and q num-
Der of local residents secure
their mail from boxes at the
postofce. This is because
they desire even greater SER
vice than free delivery would
accord them.
It is within the range of pos
sibilities that the service may be
established by July first. Two de-
liveries daily will be made. Al
least two carriers will be employed
regularly to cover the city.
The ladies were guests of honor

The program started with a splen

MILK LAW

The Fairmont Creamery COM
pany, Sioux City, Iowa, one of
the largest of the centrals deal
ing in milk, cream and butter,
throughout the Northwest has as
sailed the validity of the Minneso-
ia law, adopted in 1923, prohibit
ing discrimination in the price of
milk, cream and butterfat and re-
quiring purchasers in different To-
calities to pay uniform prices, less
transportation charges. The Fair
mont company alleges the act is
an unlawful attempt at price fix
ing and that it was adopted in the
interests of cooperative creamer-
>ies. The case has reached the
United States supreme court
where arguments were heard this
past week. Under this law Cen
trails have been prevented from
paying higher prices at one point,
where they sought to gain advant-
age over local institutions, while at
others where there was no compe-
tition they paid lower prices, hence
their opposition to its enforcement.
