THE ETHICAL PROBLEMS OF MODERN
FINANCE. New York: The Ronald Press
Co
THE publications of the Ronald Press include
many volumes of modern outlook upon
various fields-economics, law, psychology APP
piled to business procedure, government finance,
science.
The volume in hand is made up of lectures
given last year the William A. Vawter
Foundation at the Northwestern University
School of Economics Professors of economics
from different universities and leading officials
of bank and trust companies from various parts
of the country delivered to student bodies the
lectures, issued by way of this book. Morals
in business dealings, the ethics of business, is,
from one approach or another, the substance
of this useful study. The subject Of morals has
hitherto been q preoccupation of religion. To-
day it Is, happily concern of the dealings Of
men, one with another, in the common material
intercourse Of life. most important and useful
theme for study and analysis. Here certain
ethical standards are cited and analyzed in
their practical bearing upon business ITSELF
Business ethics is examined as q means Of
softenng the familiar strife that goes on forever
between the community one hand and BUSH
ness on the other. A very useful study Is that
which states some of the problems of banking
and the modern trust company. Investment
banking receives careful consideration As
matter Of fact, the entire subject of modern
finance Is Greek to the populace, even to the
more intelligent parts of it, It should be plain
English instead. More and more the common
people, the working man and woman, have a
little margin Of means to invest. They know
nothing of finance, not even of its elements
This Is dangerous situation. One unsuited
also to the obligations resting upon these small
savers OF wages. Little by little should lessons
be given to this claSS-not by way Of lectures
such as these alone. but by kindergarten lessons
daily set out in the press. Under such
elementary teaching. lectures like these highly
valuable onas viii gradually come to be the
instruction also Of thousands who sorely stand
In need Of 1t. In the meantime this book and
It's kind serve most usefuy those for whom it
is designed.

DISTRICT TWENTY
DELEGATES SCHOOL
Paxton Township School Dedic-
ated with Exercises Last
Friday Night

Last Friday evening, January 10,
the new school house in School Dis
trict 20, Paxton township, four miles
southeast of Redwood Falls was de-
dicated. The dedication was follow
ed with a program arranged by Miss
Ida Jensen, teacher of the school.
The new building, one of the best in
the county, consists of one large
room, library, and two cloak rooms.
The first classes were held in the
building on Monday, January 6.
C. E. Goodyear, treasurer of the
school board, presided during the pro-
gram, which was opened by selec-
ton from the Weldon Orchestra.
Nate Bovee, county agent, led the
community singing. George Phillips,
chairman Of the town board, made
the presentation of the building to
the district. In response, Henry
Fangman accepted for the district.
Allan Goodyear expressed the ap-
probation of the school children,
while Miss Ruth Phillips spoke in be-
half of the young people of the dis
trlct.
Giving a short outline Of the his
tory of the district, Miss Luella Tur-
rell of Redwood Falls, former resi-
dent of the district, was interesting
in her talk. Her talk on the history
of the education of the district be-
gan when she stated that her parents
were residents of the district when
there was no school building, the chill
dren receiving their education by
tutorship. Miss Turrell went on to
say that the first building was erected
in 1879. Again in 1901 more mod
ern building took the place of the
first school. This building was fol-
lowed by the modern building in
which the program was held. Miss
Turrell's talk was followed by short
talk by George Phillips.
The school children of the district
presented short program which was
followed by talk on education by
Miss Theo Jensen, county superin-
tendent of schools.

ANGLERS MUST HAVE
LICENSES TO FISH
Old Permits Issued for Calendar
Year Expired January LIST;
Hunting Limited

Game Warden j. Albert johnson
has called anglers attention to the
fact that new licenses must be OBJ
tanned by those who plan to fish
through the ice during the remand
er of the open season.
Pike, pickerel, crappies, muskel-
lunge and perch may be taken until
February l, except in certain reserv-
ed waters, list of which has been
published. The season on bass, sun
fish and trout, except lake trout, is
closed.
All licenses now are issued for the
calendar year rather than for the
season, and those obtained now will
be valid when the new season opens
in the spring.
Small game hunting licenses as
well as angling licenses for 1880,
have been in the hands of county
auditors for a month. There is no
immediate demand for the hunting
licenses, however, inasmuch as the
season is closed on all protected spec
les until next fall and licenses are
not required for taking rabbits and
other unprotected animals.
The close of the squirrel shooting
season Wednesday marked the end of
hunting all protected species on
which there was on open season last
fall. The duck season in Minnesota
December 81, as far as the law is
concerned, but it has been long time
since there have been any ducks
around to be shot.
In addition to taking small game
next fall, NJ 1esotans will be privil-
eyed to hunt deer November Is, how
ever, continuing until November rs,
so there has been no haste in plac-
ing big game licenses in the hands of
county auditors.
The provision which exempts hunt
ers of unprotected species from TAX
ing out small game licenses is UNI
popular with many sportsmen and
especially so with the game wardens,
because it handicaps them in appre-
hending unlicensed hunters who take
protected species unlawfully.
Now that there is no longer any
use for 1929 small game hunting Ii
censes, hunters are urged by the
Game and Fish Department to re-
port promptly on their seasons bag
in number and kind.
These reports are required under
the law to be made to the department
on or before January 81, but the CO.
operation of sportsmen is urged to
avoid congestion at the end of the
period. Report cards for the purpose
are attached to each hunting license.
Failure to make use of them sub
ject the negligent ones of the forfeit
ure of their license privilege the ensu-
ing season.

LAMBERTON AGAIN
BOWS TO REDWOOD
Coach Brown, in StOcktOn's Alb
sense, Leads Local High
School Quint to Win

Displaying an air tight defense
throughout the game at Lamberton
Friday night, the Redwood Falls
basketball team coasted through to
an easy 1928 victory to chalk up the
fourth win of the season and assume
undisputed leadership of the section.
The Redwood defense allowed but
two goals from the field during the
entire game, one in the first quarter
and the other near the end of the
game.
The game opened with each quint
playing cautiously and waiting for a
break. Bravinder sank a goal after
a few minutes of play and this with
a free throw gave his team lead
that was never headed. A Lamberton
basket from the free throw mark
early in the game put that team
within striking distance the only time
during the evening. Thereafter the
kdefense offered by Tom Finn and
Eom Arnett at the guard positions
and the three forward men kept
Lamberton out of striking distance.
Tom Finn played fine floor game
and while he failed to connect for
field goal he continually brought the
ball down the floor to place it in
position for many easy scoring OPP
portunities. Gordon Bravinder made
the best of his chances under the
basket and counted five times from
the floor in addition to a pair of free
losses to lead his team in scoring.
Gil Johnson rang up a pair of goals
while Don Laidlaw scored two points
on free throws to aid in giving their
team a win. Arnett came through
with a pretty long shot early in the
game to help boost the score. In
addition to the starting five Albright,
Johnny Finn and Jaehning also saw
considerable service, Finn excelling
with his floor work.
The Redwood Falls junior high team
made up of midgets battled the Lam
berton seconds down to the last
garter only to fall before their much
larger opponents at the end, 14-8.
After trailing 7-3 at the end of the
first half, the juniors, led by Jim
WEIGH and Jack Lauterbach, came
back with a fury and were in the
