TAX AMENDMENT
COMMITTEE NAMED
Chairman L. p. Larson Selects
Six Business Men to Help
With Work

An active and energetic committee
has been formed in this community to
help carry on the statewide CAM
paign for the amendment to the gaso-
line tax provision of the state con-
stitution now being launched.
Members of the local committee
selected to push the work here and
in adjoining communities include:
Chairman L. P. Larson, H. M. Aune,
C. F. Gales, J. B. Philbrick, JOS. R.
Keefe, E. L. Spencer and Rud. Stems
vad.
The amendment would change the
present gasoline tax provision of the
constitution, so that third of the
proceeds of the gasoline tax may be
used on township and county roads
through the state road and bridge
fund. At present, all this fund
some 00,O00-goes into the trunk
highway fund, and is used on the
trunk highway system.
The amendment, if passed, will
bring thousands of dollars to this
county for use on secondary roads
which cannot now be improved, and
members of the local committee are
planning an energetic campaign in
its behalf. An unusually heavy vote
for the amendment will be necessary
in the rural districts, for voters in
the three large cities, st. Paul, Min
neapolis and Duluth, are expected to
go against the amendment. Those
who do not vote on the amendment
also will count against it.
Sentiment for the amendment is
crystallizing rapidly" according to
Andrew Finstuen, Kenyon, who is Sc
cretary of the state committee in
charge of the campaign for its adop-
ton. Committees already have been
formed in 1913 different communities,
and a total of GAG committee men,
bers already are at work to make the
amendment campaign a success. In
addition, to this committees are in
process of formation in scores OF
other communities.
"The great bulk of the farmers
and the people who live in towns and
villages that depend on the secondary
roads feel they should have good
roads as well as the people who live
on the trunk highways, and the
amendment will get big vote when
it is thoroughly explained"

Asst. Coach S. E. Saterlie at the
Redwood Falls High School Tuesday
night for their first practice of the

candidates were experienced. Letter.

ported to the coaches in their first
meeting are Peterson, Winsel, Finn,

KING" KEEPS LIQUOR
 OFF IRISH ISALND

Blasquet Island, Ireland. R- The driest spot in Ireland is Blas- quet Island, under the regime of King" Thomas Giormtrain. Tho Ireland is wetter in the way of drink than England. it's saloons never closing until the propriet- ors go to sleep. Blasquet Island is dry by order of its monarch.
 There are 700 persons on the, is- land, which is just off the south west coast of the Irish Free State, a part of County Kerry. They all acknowledge allegiance to King" Thomas. and his word is law. Thus it happens that though County Kerry is not unknown for it's drink ing abilities. the Blasquet Island CTS seldom, if ever, taste intox- icants. and never. indeed. on their own land.
 Their beverage is milk. The last time they enjoyed intoxicants was during the war, when a barrel of whiskey was washed ashore. King Giormtrain admits sadly that then there were several cases of almost, if not wholly, complete intoxica- tion.
 A visitor to Blasquet might take the island for one of the South Sea group. When a boat approach es from the mainland the inhab itants gather on the hillsides and cheer the approaching visitors. Others of the inhabitants get into small canvas canoes, called cor acles, and race out to meet the boat. These coracles are their only means of transportation, and. though small, they suffice to trans port pigs and cattle to the main land. The legs of the cattle are tied and they are slung into the coracles like so many bags of flour.
 The islanders have a custom of staging a celebration after mass each Sunday. They gather on the commons and dance and sing and recite stories.
