J.P.KRACH IS MADE
new COMMISSIONER
BROOKvILLE FARMER ELECTED
TO FILL VACANCY ON COUNTY
BOARD CAUSED BY SUDDEN
DEATH OF JENS SCHOU.

j. P. Kragh of Brookville Township
was elected as Commissioner of the
third commissioner district to fill the
vacancy on the county board caused
by the sudden death of Commissioner
Jens Schou of Morgan. The town
boards of Paxton, Sherman, Morgan,
Three Lakes, Sundown, Brookville
and the village councils of Morgan
and Clements were represented at the
meeting held at the County Auditors 8

lively.
After continued balloting from
10:30 a. m. until a p. m, Mr..
Kragh was elected. Prior to the fl
nal ballot there was a tie vote for
the office of the commissioner be-
tween j. P. Kragh and Sam Hem
mingson of Shutdown Township.
Mr.. Kragh sat with the County
Board at its first meeting Tuesday
October 18th. The new commission

Brookville township and no doubt his
selection by the chairmen of the town
boards brings to the county board a
man well qualified to fill the office of
county commissioner, he having been
active in his township affairs.

RULES AND CHANGES.

The annual fall meeting of the goth
District Athletic Association was
held at the Saul Paugh Hotel, Man.
kato, Friday afternoon October TIN.
Various matters pertaining to athlet-
les were discussed and also the gen.
eral business of the association. An
athletic committee of three was sell
ected at the meeting of which Super
intendent j. H. Wichman of the Red
wood Falls Schools was chairman.
Assisting Mr.. Wichman on this COM
mittee are Superintendents Andreen

field.
New Ulm was selected by the dele
gates of the different schools of the
district as the 1928 tournament city
of the goth district. The reason CIV
en- for the selection of New Ulm as
the site for the tournament again in
1928 was because of the fact that a
much larger crowd could be handled
in New Ulm than in any other city
in the district.
The year of 1928 will see 10 teams
in the district tournament whereas
there have been only nine previously.
The teams represented in the goth
district are Lamberton, Springfield,
Sleepy Eye, New Ulm, Gaylord, Win
throp, Fairfax, Morton, Redwood
Falls and the 10th team will be the
winner of the Departmental High
School championship. The addition
of the tenth team picked from the
departmental tournament eliminates
one state tournament this year and
also means that the district tourna-
ment, since there are ten teams COM
peting will require four playing ses-
sions instead of three as was the case
will begin the Thursday night at 500
p. m. previous to the week of the Re-
gional tournament. The dates for
the regional tournament have not
been selected as yet.
At the meeting it was decided by
the school delegates that the Sports
manship trophy could be awarded to
any team in the tournament even
though the selected team might be
the winner of the tournament.
The new district committee COM
posed of Superintendents Wichman,
Andreen and Van Cleve will meet in
New Ulm Tuesday night, October 18,
to select the officials who will partici-
pate in the tournament games at New
Ulm.

WINDOW DEFEATS
LOCAL CRIDDERS
SMART PLAYING OF VISITORS
PUTS REDWOOD ON SHORT
END OF 12 TO O COUNT.

The locals went into Saturdays
game against the fast, heavy Window
aggregation and because of over con-
fidence and fumbles lost the struggle
by IL to 0 count in what could cas-
lily have been a tie game.
The Redwood team received the
kickoff on their own ten yard line and
through tumble did not return the
ball for any great distance. Play
was resumed and two costly fumbles
gave Window the ball back of the
ten yard line. Battering its way
through the locals defense the visitors
scored touchdown. The try for
point after the touchdown failed.
In the second quarter Redwood had
the ball on the fifty yard line. On Il
pass play, Finn, local quarter, threw
a pass to the right end that was in
tercepted by Window player who
raced the remaining distance for the
second touchdown, making the count
IL to at the half.
In the second half the teams bat
tied on fairly even terms with no
count being registered by either side.
In the punting battle in the last quar-
ter the Window tribe always had the
better of the argument. The team
that played to uphold the old spirit
of Redwood Falls was not the same
team that had the pep and power to
defeat New Ulm the week before.
Because the breaks of the game went
against them at the start the boys
seemed to lose their usual pep al
though it was great battle after the
ten minute rest period.
Next Saturday the Redwood Falls
high school battlers will tackle the
st. Feter team at st. Peter. Angry
from the defeat at the hands of VIM
dom the locals should have no trouble
in winning from ST. Peter. Follow
ing the St. Peter game the fast Glen
coe team will be seen here on Satur-
day, October 22nd. r. ]. Baker will
officiate in this game.
Three games have been booked for
the Redwood Falls high school string
ers. The first game will be played
at the Fair Grounds field on Friday
afternoon, October 14th, against the

Labor's New Program

Proceedings of the American Federation OF Labor,
in convention at Los Angeles indicate that organized
labor is firmly fixed in the purpose that has come to
animate it in recent years. That is to do its part to
promote and create prosperity in this country-and
to collect it's due share of the prosperity created
The phrase ga living wage" has been definitely
dropped from labor's vocabulary Only few years
it has been since that phrase heard not only on
the lips of Others but of labor ITSELF A living wage
the mere right to live! 1t seems unthinkable that
men and women ever could have faced the necessity
of arguing the case for living wage the necessity
of proving they were entitled to wages sufficient to
keep alive in order to do more work. But that day
is past and, surely forever past, in America.
There followed labor's discovery of real wages,
wages based on the actual value of money; the dis
covery that the dollar of today doesn't buy much
as the dollar of the ninetes. This amounted in eff
feet however only to translating the living wage into
terms of sufficient money to permit labor to live one
year as well as another
Now labor is talking of its right to wage pro-
portionate to the wealth it produces The productivity
of America steadily increases Wages, says labor,
should increase at equal ratio. Thereby it offers
American industry q real issue. Industry probably
won't agree ohand to labors claims in this direction,
but many industrial leaders will be prepared to weigh
the evidence and the argument that labor has to
offer. Enlightened industrial leaders already have
come around to labors other contention-that
high wages in themselves contribute to general pros
perity.
Labor has begun to do considerable hard thinking
along economic lines and is preparing to do some
more One certain result is that employers will be
compelled to do the same thing.

Voice ViezOS

Suggests Plan to Aid Pedestrians
To the Editor: Much good should
result from the decision to open
your columns for a frank discussion
of traffic problems in Indianapolis.
1t shows me that The Times is on
the alert to be of service to the
community.
My complaint deals with corners
like Illinois and Washington Sts.,
where most of the traffic makes a
right-hand turn. When the signal
is Ego" for east and west traffic the
pedestrian has no opportunity to
cross the street because the major
ity of cars make the turn.
Would it be feasible to have that
part of the vehicular traffic which
wants to make the right turn pull
in to the north curb on Washing
ton ST., for example, and then halt
until the ego" changes to north and
south-starting north with the
whistle?
In that way, believe, pedestrians,
of whom I happen to be one, will
have a chance to cross.
Many other corners would use the
same application.
Here's hoping much good comes
from your invitation for a free dis
cussion of the subject.

Lazv and Justice
BY Dexter M. Keezer

man sold six bales Of cotton which were heavily
mortgaged In making the sale he didn't mention
the mortgage. He was subsequently convicted of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses because he
hadn't told about the mortgage He appealed from
this decision, on the ground that he had made no
Misrepresentation of the cotton
He said that no question had been asked about the
mortgage, and that consequently he hadn't mentioned
it, but that he hadn't made single false statement
about it. The man who had. bought the cotton con-
tended that the mans silence about the mortgage
had misrepresented the cotton even though he was
told no lies about it.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Ar
kansas held that the not guilty of obtaining
money under false preenses The court said that the
mere withholding of knowledge about the mortgage
was not sufficient to constitute false pretense.
