FARM TRUCKSSHOW
LARGEST INCREASE
BETTER HIGHWAYS MAKE CAR.
RYING OF AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTS CHEAPER AND EAS-
TER, SAYS HIGHWAY DEPT.

The use of farm trucks has increas-
ed more rapidly than any other class
of motor vehicles, to judge by the
registration up to September 1. The
registration of "T" trucks for the
eight months was 1862 per cent high
er than for the whole year of 1926.
Other trucks were only 3.6 per cent
higher while registration of passen-
ger cars for the eight months was
slightly below the total for 1926.
The use of trucks has been made
possible by Minnesota's good roads
Not only do the trunk highways per-
nit long distance hauling Of farm
products by truck, but since the trunk
highway plan relieved the local un-
it's of caring for the main highways,
and the state aid fund helps to take
cars of the main county roads, the
townships have been able to spend
all their money on the town roads
and there has been rapid improve
ment in all classes of roads in the
state. There is much yet to be done
on both the state and local roads, but
the progress made in the last six
years has greatly facilitated The haul
ing of farm products to market.
In 1926, 10000 truckloads of live
stock were brought direct from the

LIONS CLUB OF MINNEAPOLIS,
GETS VIEWS IN REGARD To
ESTABLISHING LOCAL CLUB.

The Redwood Falls Commercial
Club held it's regular monthly meeting
Monday night, September 18th, in
stead of the scheduled date Septem-
Der 9TH because of Labor Day. At
the meeting September 18th many
matters of Importance were discuss
ed. Mr.. Newcomb, president of the
Lions Club of Minneapolis, gave an
interesting talk on Having Fun in
Community Service" Mr.. Newcomb
came from Minneapolis with an in
vitation to Redwood Falls business
men to establish a Lions Club.
In speaking of the club and its
works Mr.. Newcomb said, "When one
is right with the laws that govern
humanity or in other words natural
laws, nothing else counts much. The
Lions Club Association of 1900 clubs
throughout the United States and
some in foreign countries and with
a membership of 10000 have formed
a plan in accordance with the natural
law, a vitality that keeps them go
ing.
"We have learned in our experience
that organization means success and
that organization is more powerful
than individual work. We are affili-
ated together for mutual benefit and
we do the things and are practically
the same as your own Commercial
Club except that affiliation means
that the clubs are working together
and have the available experience and
influence of the other 1900 clubs.
"Some of the things that the Lions
Clubs have done in the past year have
been the opening of new roads, build
ing of bridges and extensive adver-
tising campaign in which every club
is advertised all over the country"
In closing the speaker said, "The
Lions Clubs have five objects which

MINNESOTA RIFLE
TEAM FOURTH IN
NATIONAL MEET
NAVY TEAM TAKES FIRST AT
CAMP PERRY, OHIO. LOCAL
MEN ON STATE TEAM
FINISHED FOURTH.
FOR HERRICK TROPHY
CAPTAIN VIM. HOSKEN, COACH
OF STATE TEAM, DOES COM
MENDABLE WORK. LAM
PHERE ON TEAM.

The Minnesota National Guard
Rifle team which entered the National
Rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio,
won fourth place in the matches
for the Herrick trophy with 1859
points out of a possible 1900. The
rifle team is composed of Cap
tain VIM. Hosken and Sergeant B.
Lamphere of Redwood Falls and
eight others from National Guard
towns of Minnesota. Places on this
team were awarded to the men hav-
ing the highest record as marksmen
at their state encampment and at the
state rifle matches. Captain Hosken
was selected as the team coach.
The United States Navy team took
the Herrick trophy from the U. S.
Marine corps when they piled up a
total of 1,791 points out of possible
1900. The trophy was won by the
Marine Corps team in 1926 at Sea-
girt, and last week the Marines were
only three points behind the Navy
with total of 1,788 for second place.
California civilians won third with
1882; Minnesota National Guard,
fourth with 1,759; Ohio, fifth, LISP;
Iowa, sixth, Lat; Washington Ma
tional Guard, seventh, 1,728; Massa-
chusetts National Guard, eighth, l.
723.
Fifty teams were entered in the
match which closes the National Rifle
Association program for the year.
The national individual pistol
match with 551 competitors and the
national pistol team match with 33
teams of five men each opened the
national pistol match program Mon
day.
The work of Captain VIM. Hosken
as coach of the Minnesota team is
commendable. Many years the Min
nesota team has entered the nation
al matches at Camp Perry but it is
alleged that never before has Min
nesota team finished so high in the
national competition. Captain Hos
ken was selected as the coach by the
Adjutant General of the National
Guard of Minnesota because of the
excellent work that the Company IL"
team has done at the state encamp-
ments each year. Since Captain Hos
ken was commissioned his untiring
efforts to bring to Redwood Falls
honors in rifle competition have not
been denied. Not only has he brought
fame to Redwood Falls but also to the
state of Minnesota as well.
