Golf Tourney
June 7 and 8
First Annual Affair Sponsored
By Country Club Promises
to Be Success
FINE PLAYERS COMING
Course Will Be In Fine Condi-
ton Caddies Are Badly
1'ss Needed

The first annual Main Street Golf
Tournament which will be played
at the Sank Centre Club Golf Links
Sunday and Monday, June and
8, will bring a large number Of
business and professional men to
Sank Centre for couple of days.
These gentlemen will come from
nearly every section of the state.
Sank Centre has long been noted
for its beautiful homes and well
kept grounds. It is the hope of
the tournament committee that not
only will the city have the streets
and tourist park put in spick and
span condition but that the citizens
will cooperate to the end that Sank
Centre may create a most favorable
impression.
The officers of the Country Club
and the tournament committee will
do everything in their power to
have the course, in shape for the
tournament. The impression made
this year will go a long way toward
making the tournament in future
years d success.
Reservations have already been
made at the Palmer House for Pat
Sawyer, Billy Boutell and sother
top-n6tchs golfers of the state. 49,.
The committee hopes and expects
q large number Of local players
will enter the tournament. There
will be flights for the dub as well
as the expert. Trophies will be
hung up for each flight. Each
player will find his level in the
qualification rounds which will be
played either Saturday or Sunday
The local men entering
will come in contact with high class
gentlemen from other cities whom it
will be a pleasure to know. The
entrance fee viii he $3.00 for each
Individual.
The question Of sufficient caddies
for the tournament is q serious one
The supplying Of the caddies has
been turend over to Frank O'Gara
and Norbert Frank. Every husky
lad in the city can find a couple
Of days enjoyable and profitable en-
ployment in acting as caddies for
this tournament. The pay will be
rs cents per Is holes for second
class caddies and $1.00 per 10 holes
for f1rst-class caddies. These prices
will prevail during the tournament
only. In many of the larger tour
naments men act as caddies. If
there are any young men out of
in the city interested,
see Mr.. O'Gara or Mr.. Frank.
Al matter of concern to the offic-
ials Of the Country Club is the very
slow manner in which the annual
fees are being paid. The annual
dues for Sank Centre residents is
$1,000 per year for male adults;
$500 per year for young men be-
tween 16 and 20 years: $500 per
year for ladies and $3.50 per year
for young ladies between 16 and 20.
It is suggested that dues be paid
at once as permission to play viii
be refused unless players have their
cards not later than Monday, May
81. A committee will call on all
1880 members the latter part of
the week. Be prepared for them.

Criticizes Sending
Of Capital Abroad


st. Paul. May 26-The nations
investors should cease sending
funds abroad to develop products
which compete with United States
agriculture, in the opinion Of Chest
err Gray Washington, legislative
representative of the Aemrican
Farm bureau.
He told Minnesota Farm bureau
leaders at sectional meeting yes
terday that this American capital,
which makes possible cheap foreign
productions the biggest competitor
of American agriculture.
AS examples he cited use Of Uni
ed States funds for development Of
the Mexican vegetable industry, the
dried egg business in China, cocoa
nut oil in the Philippines, to COM
pete with American dairy products
and livestock and meat production
in Argentina. All, he said, place
their output in competition with
that grown in the United States.
Mr.. Gray said agricultural in
terests of the nation are working
together in Washington for COM
mon good as never before. He said
the farm board pursued a. wise pol
icy in setting up a single national
agency for each major group of
products, eliminating competition
among producers.
A. j. Olson, Renville, state farm
bureau president, said farmers do
not know what to raise because
prices on all types Of output are
unsatisfactory.
"The problems we face today are
economic and while farm organi-
cations are not In politics we must
seek remedies through Legislation"
he said.
The stand Of the farm bureau In
indorsing the income tax proposal
to be voted on at the next state
election was criticized by J. r.
Reed, Lac Out Parle county, it's
former president.
Mr.. Reed, now president OF the
Minnesota Taxpayers association.
said such an amendment to the
constitution should not be support
ed because the income tax would
not replace other ievies and there
fore would increase rather than
| tighten the burden Of the Minneso-
ia taxpayers.
