Boys Have Slight Lead on Girls
In County Club Work,
Says Sheldon.

Redwood County has been one of
the few counties in the state in which
the boys have always led the girls in
numbers enrolled in Boys and Girls
club work projects, according to Coun-
ty Agent Lynn Sheldon, who is pre-
pairing and planning for larger
club work enrolment this year than
any previous year.
Last year, Mr.. Sheldon stated the
girls gave the boys pretty close
run and if they make the same gains
this year the boys are liable to be
beaten in numbers.
The most popular girls projects are
the Sewing, Baking and Canning pro-
jects. Any girl of club work age can
take part in one or more of these pro-
jects without having to put in any
great amount of time and practically
no expense in carrying on the work.

Redwood County Boys Haue Lead
Over the Girls for Club Honors

Instructions are sent to all who en-
roll and these instructions are so
plain and simple that any girl can
carry on the work. Girls taking these
projects do not have to take part in
the county contests if they do not
wish to do so.
The Poultry project is also one of
the popular projects for the girls,
and many girls also enjoy taking
part in some of the other livestock
projects which they may do if they
wish.
1t is going to be interesting to
watch and see if the girls get the best
of the boys in enrollments this year.
All club work enrollments will be
made the latter part of this month
through the schools, both rural and
in the villages. Those not in school
may send their enrollments direct to
the County Agents office.
Boys and Girls Club Work is ono
of the notable achievements Of the
day, and all are urged to enter early.

LOCALS LOSE and
WIN DURING WEEK
Defeat Morgan "a to II We'd
nesday and Lose to Gaylord
Saturday by 10 to Is.

By defeating the Morgan high
school basketball team last Wednes-
day night, Coach Stockton's quint
made it seven straight for the season
without defeat. The game ended
with Redwood holding the long end
of "a to IL count. Mike Glen, for
mer st. Thomas star, refereed the
contest in a capable manner in which
one Redwood man left the floor on
personal fouls as did three Morgan
players. The first half was fast and
close in count. In the second stanza
the locals began an upward climb
that most assured them of victory.
In the preliminary game Mitchell's
Junior high quint won it's seventh
victory without defeat for the sea-
son also. This game finished with
the local team leading by "a to 7
score. Finn and Johnson were high
point men for the juniors, Finn get
ting five field goals and Johnson reg
istering four doubles and single.
Keefe made a field goal and a free
throw while Jaehning was content
with one field goal.
A small floor and wonderful de-
fense that was we'll played helped
defeat the Redwood Falls high school
team at Gaylord last Saturday night.
The final count ended 10 to Is with
Gaylord leading. By defeating the
locals the Gaylord quint accomplish
ed an act that has not been done be-
fore this season. Gaylord, the slow
starting team of the district, invar-
iably "comes through" with strong
lineup in mid-season. The game
next Saturday night between these
two strong teams will be watched
with interest by many fans of Red
wood Falls and community; and it is
the impression that the outcome of
this game will have considerable bear
ing on the outcome of the district
tournament. The game will be play
ed at the Lincoln school gymnasium,

Son Well Morgan Becomes Nationally Promin
Saturday By Shattering Unofficial Worlds Record
of Loops. HonOred in Morgan Today.

Gene Shank, the flying Morgan lad
and ST. Paul law student, establish
ed a world record for airplane loop
ing when he made 515 circles in 258
minutes flying over the St. Paul Aig-
port last Saturday afternoon. This
number exceeds by 200 loops the un-
official record of 315 loops turned in
France by Bevlin Maynard, "the fly
ing parson."
Wednesday afternoon (today) the
young aviator is expected to land the
same plane in which he established
the record, on his fathers farm with
in the city limits of Morgan. A cele-
bration planned by the people of
Morgan in honor of their famous son
for Tuesday afternoon and evening
was postponed when it was learned
that Gene had been forced down near
Cologne enroute to Morgan. He
started again and descended at Nor
wood where he remained for the
night. The heavy sleet was given as
the reason for the decent.
A parade through the streets of
his home town will follow shortly
after the arrival of Shank, after
which the people of the community
will gather at a reception and din
ner where Gene will be the honored
guest. This will be followed with
speaking by T. o. Streissguth of New
Ulm and H. Peterson of Brandm,
Minn., formerly superintendent of
schools of Morgan at the time when
young Shank attended. A dance in
the town hall will close the days
festivities.
Taking off from the air field at
1905 p NJ. Saturday in the same
plane that Shank used in his attempt
to beat Maynard's record Friday,
when he was forced down by engine

Dipping the nose of his plane, he

Income Tax Reports
Must be Filed by Law

The possibility of congress passing
a new tax law does not relieve the
taxpayer of the responsibility to file
report of his income for 1927. No
extensions will be granted on the
strength of possible new tax legisla-
tion. Every individual whose gross
income was $4,000 or more and every
unmarried person whose gross in
come was S1,500 or more, and every
corporation and every partnership is
required to file. A married man who
was not living with his wife on the
last day of the year must file as a
single man. If there are any COM
panionate marriage husbands and
wives in Redwood Falls they must
file joint report on their incomes.
If the net income of any couple is $3,-
500 or more, or the gross income $5,-
900 or more, such joint report must
be filed. Violation of the income tax
law carries severe penalty.

Cream" of the lot, the first game
scheduled will be played between the
locals and the winners of the Depart

are all strong teams in the depart
ment and either team will give Red
wood Falls hard struggle. Should
Stockton's men get through their
first contest they will be called upon

rolled off his loops at the rate of two
minute.
At the five hundred and fifteenth
loop, the planes supply of 38 gallons
of gasoline gave out and Shank was
forced to descend. He turned his
last loop at 4:28 and five minutes la
ter glided gracefully to the field.
He averaged 1.8 loops minute for
the first 318 somersaults, but as the
gasoline load became lighter, the
plane picked up speed and swept
along in swift, short arcs.
Shank would start each series of
loops at an altitude of $500 feet, but
in his hurtling plunges he would
lose altitude, dropping to 1000 feet,
and after every sixth or seventh
loop, he would straighten out his
plane and soar again to a higher lev
ell.
The speed of the plane in the SOM
ersaulting ranged from IS miles an
hour when it was climbing to roar
ing 200 as the plane pitched head
long earthward.
Although the day was warm and
sunny, a raw 30-mile wind was blow
ing at the altitude at which Shank
was flying and, when he descended,
his face was chapped and his lips
cracked and bleeding.
= "My nose at times would become
numb" he said, "and my chin would
feel as though it had turned to wood.
Then l would have to take off my
mitten and rub hard until my face
felt it was a face again."
Except for the cold wind in his
face, Shank suffered no hardship
from his flight. He stepped briskly
from his plane when it landed and,
as the crowd surged about him, he
laughted at their anxious inquiries as
to how he felt.

better in my life. If the gasoline
hadn't given out, would have kept
on looping"

Records in Office of Supervisor
of Assessments May Prove
To Be Useful This Year.

With the state tax commission re-
quiring the local assessors all over
the state to use a card index system
of valuations, indications are that the
local investment in these records will
prove of value to the county this
year. There are $500 local assessors
in the state of Minnesota, each using
a different way of assessing proper
ty, and it was in the interests of ar
irving at a uniform method, as well
as providing the boards of review
with adequate records upon which to
make equalizations, that the state

for his district, but they are to be re-

ROCKNE FILES IN
TOCA RACE TUESDAY
ZumbrOta Veteran Stands on
Legislature Record for Com
ing Senate Campaign.

Senator A. J. Rockne of Zumbrota,
filed for Republican nomination for
United States senator Tuesday. This
information appeared today in the
city periodicals. Senator Rockre
stated two weeks ago that he was in
receptive mood and that he had
been urged by many throughout the
state to make the race.
Senator Rockne's decision to be-
come a candidate is regarded in poll
tical circles as meaning that neither
Chief Justice Samuel B. Wilson nor
State Auditor Ray P. Chase will en-
ter the race.
The field now consists of the Zum-
brota state senator, Arthur E. Mel
son, former mayor of st. Paul, and j.
A. A. Burnquist, former governor of
Minnesota.
Following his filing Senator Rockne
issued the following statement:
Il have today filed as candidate
for the nomination for United States
senator. l am a Republican and
have always affiliated with that par
ty. Minnesota is a Republican state
and is entitled to solid Republican
representation in congress so that
it's influence may be fully exercised
in the councils of the nation.

people of the state of Minnesota in

Governor.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
1899 Net0 York AUehue

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. - Like
Caesar, Frank L. Ball, millionaire
Muncie manufacturer, now has
twice put aside crown, the crown
in his case being support of the
Watson organization for the Re
publican nomination for Governor
of Indiana.
Ball waved it aside again Wednes-
day at a luncheon here attended by
Senator James E. Watson, M. Bert
Thurman, Indiana collector of In
ternal revenue, and Watson hench-
man; Col. E. P. Thayer, United
States Senate secretary and like
wise a Watson henchman, and
others. Ball previously refused to
run when urged to do SO by Wat
son during the Christmas holidays.
Watson Filing Expected
Decision that Frank o. Lowden.
Illinois, will not enter the presi-
Dental primary in Indiana was the
outcome of another conference.
Lowden's withdrawal will leave a
clear field for Watson, who is ex-
pected to file soon.
The Lowden conference was at
tended by Clarence Buck of Mon
mouth, ILL., Lowden's national man
ager; Senator Watson, Thurman
and William H. Settle, Indiana
Farm Bureau Federation president.
Despite the rrgings of James P.
Goodrich, Ex-Governor of Indiana,
Herbert Hoover will nSt enter the
Indiana primary. IBIS gas the I'M

rich paid another visa to the Sec
rotary Of Commerce.
1t is understood the Watson Or
sanitation has been somewhat dis
appointed by the lack of enthusiasm
manifest in Indiana over the an
nouncement of the candidacy of
Charles w. Jewett, Indianapolis, said
to have been their tentative choice,
and also by the vigorous announce
ment Of Alvah j. Rucker, Indian
apolis, which tended to weaken Jew
ett's hold in that city.
North Counties Not Satisfied
Some of the Indiana congress
sional delegation from northern In
diana, it is said, have made known
to Watson their dissatisfaction with
the present set-up, by which the
Republican nominee for Governor
might come from Indianapolis, as
we'll as Senator Robinson, who is
running for denomination.
They feel that this gives the
capital city too much influence
against the northern part of the
State, which usually gives strong
support to the Republican ticket.
Their views are an added source of
worry to Watson. ~,-.-.
SO far as sentiment has crystal
lized about possible candidates from
northern Indiana, there seems some
reaction in favor of Arthur H. Sapp,
Huntington lawyer, president Of the
Rotary International.

COOLIDGE HINTS
HOOVER is TO
STAY IN CABINET
President Is Not Expected
to Interfere in Secre-
tary'S Campaign.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER,
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The de-
duction Of a good many politicians
here is that President Coolidge will
do nothing to hamper the movement
to put Herbert Hoover into the
White House.
So far as is known, nothing has
passed the discreet lips of the
President to indicate that he wills
take any active part for or against
Hoover. 1t would be against his
nature and his attitude toward his
office to interfere directly in the
party's choice Of his successor.
But q number of circumstances
have given many to believe that the
President is at least willing that
Hoover should have the benefit Of
his role as part of the Coolidge Ad-
ministration while seeking the
nomination.
Following some speculative reports
that Hoover is about to resign from
the Cabinet to wage his pre-
convention campaign, a close friend
Of the secretary Of commerce said
emphatically that there will be no
resignation before the campaign.
The White House said Tuesday
that President Coolidge had heard
nothing indicating that President
Hoover-to use the actual words that
slipped out-had any intention Of
resigning.
These two developments indicate
to most politicians that Hoover
understands he is welcome to re-
main in the Cabinet while his cam
paign for the nomination goes on.
There is precedent for this. Charles
E. Hughes remained on the United
States Supreme Court until after
he had been nominated in 1916.
william II. Taft remained as Sec
rotary of War under Roosevelt until
after he was nominated in 1908.
