FOOTBALL FINS,
BASKETBALL OPENS
StOcktOn's Men Win Hard
Fought Game from Sleepy
Eye in, Seasons Last

The Redwood Falls high school
football team successfully ended its
1928 season by defeating the Sleepy
Eye school squad in the Armistice
Day feature at Sleepy Eye. The
game ended with the locals defeating
the Indians by to 2 count. Both
teams displayed an exceptionally
strong defense all through the game.
In the second quarter Bode recov-
cred Sleepy Eye blocked punt and
went over the goal, where he fumbled,
the tumble being recovered by Cor
bett for Redwood's marker. Point af-
ter touchdown failed.
The Sleepy Eye aggregation scored
it's two ponlt.ss on safety. Redwood
punted, the Gall being carried upward
and back over the goal by the wind,
where a Sleepy Eye player recovered.
The Redwood team, as whole,
played wonderful defensive game,
holding it's opponents to few large
gains. On the offense Finn and
Winsel starred, carrying the ball for
consistent gains. This game was
Winsels first of the season, having
suffered minor injury in early sea-
son. On each occasion that he car
ried the ball he made large gains.
Betlack, one of the strongest punt
ers in this section of the state, kept
Redwood out of danger most of the
time. TEe locals gained yards on
each exchange of punts. During the
1928 season Betlack has never had a
punt blocked, getting them all away
easy and for long distances.
Six local men played their last
game for the Redwood Falls last Mon
day. June graduation will end their
high school careers. The sextet
headed by Captain Peterson, includes
Bode, Corbett, Carl Melges, Kramer
and Schmid.
Following the termination of the
football season, Coach K. w. Stockton
will start his men in basketball prac-
tice. The practice will begin next
week, with about 20 men out. The
five lettermen back are Captain Wor-
sech, Peterson, Schmid, Bravinder and
Corbett.

AMENDMENT NO. |
PASSAGE CERTAIN
Statement Is Issued by Gasoline
Tax Amendment Committee
This Week

The Gasoline Tax Amendment Com
mittee issued a statement through
Andrew Finstuen, its secretary, this
week, thanking all those who worked
for the passage of the amendment
and expressing the belief that the
action taken will be great benefit
to the whole state.
The statement follows:
"The Gasoline Tax Amendment ap-
parently has been passed. AS this is
written, it has a total of $4,000 fav-
orable votes, according to the unof-
ficial count, and the vote from some
thing over 100 precincts is yet to
come in. AS the total vote cast in
the election likely will not run over
1,025,000 at the most, the amendment
apparently has a safe majority.
''The victory is all the more re-
markable because the amendment was
actively opposed by all the dailies of
the three large cities. However, it
got 41,00O votes in st. Paul and 5O,-
900 in Minneapolis.
''The Committee naturally is graft
fled over the result and wishes to
take this opportunity to thank the
more than 1000 committeeman thru
out the state who worked to put the
amendment over. 1t wishes also at
this time to pay special tribute to the
country newspapers of Minnesota,
which did more than any other agen-
cy to win the fight. The country
papers used columns of valuable
space to boost the amendment be-
cause they realized it was a fine
civic enterprise that would benefit
their communities, and the result
shows in the tremendous vote OBJ
tanned through the country districts.
Passage of the amendment is 60
ing to be great thing for the state.
1t gives US a broader and more COM
prehensive road program and will in
the end benefit the whole state"
Ask about Commissioner Babcock's S
statement that the gasoline tax now
must be increased to make up for the
$1,800,000 which the amendment
would give to secondary roads, Mr..
Finstuen repeated the position taken

RED CROSS OPENED
DRIVE LAST WEEK
Redwood County Chapter Has
Made Preparations for Success
full Drive, Barnes Asserts

The annual roll call for the Ameri-
can Red Cross for Redwood county
started last week and will continue
until November 29th. The several
branches of the county chapter have
made the necessary preparations for
successful drive.
The annual drive this year is in
charge of George A. Barnes of Red
wood Falls, who has always been an
active supporter of the Red Cross.

assistants insures successful drive.
Mr.. Barnes reports that L. o. Bunge,
chairman of Redwood Falls township
and Mrs. A. M. Dennistoun of Pax
ton have completed their drives and
were first to report.
No more worthy organization ex-
lists than the Red Cross. This organ
ization is national in scope and when
disaster strikes it provides emergen-
cy relief and then proceeds to meet
the needs of those overwhelmed by
flood, tornado, fire or other forms of
catastrophe. 1t provides for care of
the sick, home hygiene, and is spread
ing knowledge of more helpful living,
and helps prevent unnecessary loss of
life.
The annual membership is $1.00 but
larger amounts are always accept
able. Half of this membership fee
goes to national headquarters, the
other half remaining in the chapter
for the carrying on of any activities
planned by the county organization.
Redwood county citizens are asked to
contribute literally to this worthy or
ganization when called upon by the
canvassers.

FORD BECAMES
KING over VAST
AMAZON REGION
Controls Millions of Acres
In Brazil for Growing
Rubber.
By NEA SerUice

By NEA SerUice
DETROIT, May 11.-Henry Ford
probably will never fit crown over
his somewhat wrinkled foreheard.
He doesn't think much of kings.
Yet Ford, by his concession from
: the State of Para, in Brazil, has be-
come an absolute monarch over a
rich tract of land nearly as large
as Connecticut and Rhode Island
combined.
This concession gives Ford alb
Solute control over some 3,700,00O
acres Of land on the Rio Tapajos,
in the heart of the wild Amazon
basin.
And. although its terms have
aroused some opposition in Para
and Rio de Janeiro, most Brazilians
are hoping that they will at least
see what they have long dreamed of,
large-scale exploitation of the rich
Amazon jungle by twentieth century
business.
The Amazon basin is, potentially,
one of the richest areas on earth.
The soil is black and rich from the
accumulation of centuries of jungle
deposit.
Abundant rainfall and tropical
weather make it amazingly produc-
tive. The wide, deep streams of the
Amazon system permit ocean-going
steamers to penetrate direct to
Ford's concession. All the land needs
is capital.
Ford, who plans to establish a
The Indianapolis times., 1928-05-11

huge rubber plantation on his new
domain, will be a species of king.
His contract permits him to engage
in banking, commerce, navigation
and contract labor without any gov
ernment interference. 1t lets him
build railroads and highways, and
appropriate land for them, without
hindrance, and allows him to import
materials duty free and form sub
sidiary companies that can not be
taxed.
This gives him a free hand. If
he uses this opportunity to its full
est extent, it may we'll be that he
is now beginning the most spectacu-
lar project of his long, spectacular
career.
Ford can grow, on his own plan
tation, more than enough rubber to
supply the needs of every manu-
facturer in the United States-and
The Indianapolis times., 1928-05-11

United States manufacturers con-
sumo annually some 80 per cent of
the worlds output.
In cold figures, it reads ike this:
If he plants only half of this land
in rubber and averages a yield of
500 pounds to the acre-which is not
too high an average-he can pro-
duce between $4,000 and 100000
long tons of rubber a year.
The consumption of rubber in the
United States in 1926 totaled 1884,
461 long tons.
This would not only shatter the
British rubber monopoly; it might
even put it out of business alto
gether.
Rubber is not all Ford will get
out of his kingdom. The land is
covered with valuable hardwood
trees and produces an abundance
of Brazil nuts.
