que.
Bankers, farmers and merchants
any person interested in taxation
problems are urged to attend this
conference. 1t has been suggested
that resolutions be drafted or com
mittee named to express the peoples
wishes to the legislators.
Demands Income Tax
Minnesota farm bureau federation
numbering 10000 members is de-
manding a state income tax, sales
tax on luxuries, and payment by the
state to local governmental units OF
tax on state lands, according to press
dispatches.
The legislature will be asked to
authorize presentation of referend.
um to the voters on the question of q
graduated income tax. Intention OF
this tax is to relieve the present bur-
dens on real estate. Sales tax on a
few commodities classed as luXuries
will be asked.
Advocates Poll Tax
Senator Schmeckel of Fairfax is
advocating a poll tax whereby every
citizen of voting age would be oblig-
ed to pay a five dollar tax. House
holders and property owners will not
pay the full amount.
Opposing the proposed twenty mil,
lion dollar bond issue, the Minnesota
farm bureau federation contemplates
a drive to attempt by constitutional
amendment to divert half of all gas
oline taxes in the state allotted to i'm
prove secondary roads.
Asks $3.50 Gas Fund Split
By the original trunk highway
amendment all gas taxes were used
for that system, but two years ago it
was amended to give secondary roads
one-third. The Farm Bureau says
that the addition of one cent gaso-
line tax will not help secondary roads
until laws are enacted to provide fol
a $3.50 split in gas tax funds.
In presenting it's Legislative pro-
gram the Farm Bureau bases its re-
Communications on the majority opin-
ion expressed by each county Farm
Bureau through county legislative
committees, according to j. S. Jones'
secretary

Savings to motorists are greater
than money spent for paving, accord

chief highway engineer of Illinois
before the American Association OF

DR.. Andrews Talks
on 1EHow to Think .
Exhibits Brain Specimen, Tells
Function of Its Parts,
Gives Definition

'How we think, and what to think
was the subject of talk by DIR. An
drews of Mankato at the dinner OF
the Brotherhood Club at the Method
list church Thursday evening, January
%.
DIR. Andrews exhibited human
brain and skull for the purpose of
illustrating points on which his sub
ject touched. He pointed out various
portions of the brain and explained
what each governed.
Thinking he defined as "the mind in
action" Mere grey matter of the
brain alone did not produce thought.
1t was the action of the mind through
this matter that caused thought,
speech, action, etc.
His talk was non-technical and de-
voted largely to the history of the UNI
derstanding of the brain and its func-
tions. On what to think DR.. An
drews quoted the familiar scripture
passage: Whatsoever things are pure,
just, honorable, etc. At the close of
his talk the men grouped about DIR.
Andrews and for fifteen minutes he
answered many questions.
DR.. Andrews is man Of some 81
years one of the pioneer physicians in
this part of the state. In his early
days he practiced at Sleepy Eye.
Bruce Bell, executive secretary of
the Y. M. C. A., Mankato branch,
sang two songs, accompanied by Mr..
Bronson, who also favored the club
with a piano solo. Mr.. Bell former
ly resided at Walnut Grove.
President Doble appointed COM
mittee Of five to study the suggestion
of Alfred E. Hughes, president, Ham
line University, pertaining to the
establishment of fund toward
worthy students.

Boy Scouts to Observe TUenty-First
Anniversary on February 8 to II

quarters at Mankato. Each of these
men will receive button which they
will wear during the week to signify
their former connection with the
movement.
The roundup of former Scouters
and performance Of special civic SER
vice individually and by patrols and
troops will be the keynotes of the an
niversary celebration throughout the
country.
A new note will be sounded in this
years anniversary, that Of mass"
first aid. The organization is trying
to develop ways and means in which
Scouts can be of assistance during
disasters which might befall COM
munity at any time. Scouts are be-
ing trained to assist in such emer-
gencies as flood, fire, tornado, dis
ease, water contamination and others.
"Be Prepared is the motto of the
Scouts throughout the world. They
are trained to be prepared to handle
any emergency through the Scouting
program of first aid, life saving and
resourcefulness under handicap.
Walter Becker, of New Ulm recent
" received national acclaim for saw
ing two children from drowning IN
the Minnesota river. After swimming
into fast current in the river to
rescue them he instructed his mother
to apply the same methods of artifi-
cial respiration to one that he applied
to the other. Both lives were saved.
Each Scout is pledged to "do good
turn daily"

School Cagers Down
Springfield Shooters
Seniors Win Ninth Game 1915;
Tracy Scrappers Seek
Revenge Friday

Rough and tumble playing char
acterized both basket ball games
Tuesday evening when the two
Springfield teams met defeat on the
local floor. Juniors won by margin
of 13 points, score 10 to 6, while the
senior quint collected IA baskets and
made good five free throws, result,
33 to Is.
There was little hesitation on part
of the Junior boys who played agress-
lively throughout, showing improved
shooting abilities and combination
playing. Long shots featured this
game, young Kise put several through
the hoop while Wally Lauterbach
made some good shots and passes.
Springfeld's points were gained by
Weiring and Butch. These boys
showed lot of dash. Springfield net
ted two field goals and two free
throws. Redwood Juniors collected
nine field goals and nesfree throw.
The senior game was fast and
rough with a driving offense that
Springfield could not counter. When
ever Springfield got the ball they
found themselves closely guarded
with few chances for scoring. Spring
field made three baskets and scored
nine points on free throws. Eight
points were gained in the last quart
er when Coach Brown relieved the re-
gulars with other members of the
first squad.
Friday, January 80, the Cardinals
will battle the Tracy Scrappers, one
of the most formidable teams Of the
neighboring district which has three
regular players of the team that Red

Study City Water
Reserve Supply
Advocate Larger Reservoir to
Meet Emergency Situations,
Council to Consider

Steps are being taken by the city in
cooperation with the fire department
to study the water situation in re-
spect to increase the reserve supply
L. P. Wolf, consulting engineer will
appear before the council February
6, to list recommendations.
Since the business section of the
city is so much above water level OF
the river, and because distance would
diminish water pressure, Joe Corbett
chief of the fire department, feels
that larger reservoir is the more
feasible than pipe line.
Another point advanced by Chief
Corbett why a larger reservoir would
better serve the city's needs is that
there would be an increased water
supply for sprinkling of lawns, gard
ems and shrubbery. During dry years
it has been necessary for Redwood
Falls citizens to cut down on lawn
watering.
The present reservoir is small and
when it is filled it overfows into the
river. Under ordinary conditions it
is satisfactory, explained Mr.. Corbett,
but for fire protection it is made
quate, and the water that is going to
waste could just as well be reserved
for an emergency.
The officers of the fire department
were all reelected to serve for 1881.
Joe Corbett is chief, John Brueske,
assistant, Gene Charlebois, treasurer,
and E. L. Gallea, secretary. For a
period of five months, from August
up to the Palace fire, January IA,
there was not a single call.

Each community in the local area,

observe the anniversary by special
programs during the week which are
in keeping with the plans advanced
by the national council.
The local Scoutmasters organiza-
ton is planning observance of ami
versary week here, according to
Scoutmaster M. v. McCurdy. Details
of the observance have not been COM
pleted, but it is planned that at some
time during the week that the troops
will hold jamboree.
Former Scouts to Gather
At some time during the week all
men who have been Scouts or have
been connected with the Boy Scout
movement in any way will gather in
a ground up" All former Scouts or
Scouters in the local area are asked
to send their names and former po-
sition in Scouting to the area head
