Subscription Books Closed in Two
Days-GOvernInent Pays High
est Interest Since War

Washington, March 9-The sub
scription books for the 5000, OOO, 900
worth of treasury certificates Of
fered Monday were closed last
light, Secretary of the Treasury
Ogden S. Mills announced. Two
days sufficed to take up the SUBJ
scription.
From the point Of view of trea-
sury officials, the readiness with
which the $9OO,OOO,OO was forth
coming was an indication of conf
dence in the sound credit of the
government.
It was pointed out, however, that
$600,0O0,000 of the bonds, maturing
March Is, 1888, bear interest at
8 "a per cent, the highest rate paid
on government borrowing since the
war. The remaining 100000 900,
maturing within seven months, bear
a rate Of 3 1-S per cent.
Furthermore the New York Fed
eral Reserve Bank was required
to lower it's rediscount rate from
81 to 3 per cent, thus generally
making money cheaper and the
higher rates of the government Of
fering correspondingly more at
tractive.
The $90O,OO0,OOO Offering con-
stitutes a record peacetime bor-
rowing for the government.

THE SEMI-FINALS
GlenwoOd Masters Long Prairie

In the semi-finals Long Prairie
started out to smother Glenwood.
The Todd county lads led at the
quarter by 80 and at the half IL
5. 1t was apparently all over but
the shouting. The Long Prairie
rooters were enthusiastic.
The second half opened with a
rush, Glenwood shooting a field
goal on the third play after the tip
off. Before the dazed Long Prairie
team and its supporters could re-
gain their equilibrium three adj
ditional baskets had been scored
and the six point lead had vanish
ed. From then on it was a pro-
cession. Long Prairie scored a
single point in the third quarter
and Glenwood 10; in the final per-
iod Glenwood connected for an
even dozen points and Long Prai-
RE five. Late in the game the Todd
county lads began to inject some
football tactics and were penalized
repeatedly. Reichert and Maynard
were the worst offenders. The

Killed Self

Little Falls, March T. Less than
48 hours after they were arrested,
Arthur Shaffer of Grand Rapids
and Harold Cook of near Little
Falls today pleaded guilty to rob
bling the Farmers State Bank of
Upsala, Mimi, last November 6.
They were to be sentenced by
Judge Don M. Cameron in District

to have been the leader of the
bandit trio which robbed the bank
and wounded c. w. Johnson, as
sistant cashier, committed suicide
at Indiana Harbor, Ind, after his
automobile was involved in a col

lieved, for fear his identity would
be discovered.
Indiana and Illinois authorities
also wanted Simons for question

strength Of the first quint but prop
erly coached they could have won
the district tournament against any
of the other regular teams.
The Herald doesn't expect that
basketball fans will agree by a
whole with our selections, but the
writer has had his guess.
A day or two ago letter was re-
ceived from George Malvern, editor
of the Browerville Blade. one of
the best sport authorities in Gen.
trail Minnesota. For his edification
he selected an all district team. 1t
will be found to differ from the
Herald editors team only in one or
two positions. Mr.. Malvern's Sc
lections follow in an excerpt from
his letter:
Not having seen the finals I
hesitate to choose an All-Dis-
trict team. However, from OBJ
servations I made in the other
rounds I should select Brendel,
of Glenwood, and Reichert, of
Long Prairie, as forwards; Du-
Dubois, of Sank Centre, as CEN
err and captain, the latter be-
cause I thought him the out
standing player in the tourna-
ment, and Hammond, of Glen
wood, and Kinsella, of Sank
Centre, as guards. Boy,
there's a basketball team!

Henning sent rapsy tenn with
a good record to meet Sank Centre
in the opening game Thursday eve
ming. Pat Dubois started the
scoring by connecting for a free
throw in the first minute play. That
was all for the quarter. In the
second period the locals began to
click and the half ended with Sank
Centre having an 80 lead. Every
regular on the team except Ham"
scored one or more points. Pat
Dubois was electrifying the
crowd by some marvellous passing,
ably supported by his teammates.
Sieben got four set-ups and made
good on all of them. He was hlgh
point man of the game. Kinsella
shot a couple of beauties from mid
field; Iwinski came through with
three hard ones for a half dozen
points and Pat snagged a couple
of baskets which with the opening
free throw gave him five points.
AT the close of this game the
crowd generally predicted SauK
Centre would go to the finals. The
following is the tabulated score:

Load Restrictions Are
Posted on State Highways
Keeping Roads Open Is Aim of
Limiting Weight of Rigs
BabcOck Explains

The Minnesota Highway depart
ment put the first of the seasons
load restrictions in effect last
week. Others will be added from
time to time as conditions require,
according to Commissioner G. M.
.Babcock. The purpose is to protect
the road surfaces so that small
trucks and passenger cars may
continue to travel.
In the long run, however, the
buses and large trucks which are
kept off the roads by the load re-
strictions, will also benefit, Mr..
Babcock points out. If heavy loads
are permitted to travel while the
roads are soft, they may cut up the
roads so badly that they will be
impossible to all traffic for long
periods. If the heavier vehicles are
kept off the road during the period
the frost is going out, it will US
ually speed the date when these
roads will again be solid enough
to carry all traffic.
District superintendent have in
structions not to wait until the
road is badly cut up, but to post
the restrictions whenever it is like
ly that heavy loads will damage the
roads. The aim is to keep the
roads good if possible.
Both treated and untreated grav-
ell roads, as well as unsurfaced
roads, will be posted. Although a
good job of bituminous treatment
seals the road surface against mois-
ture from above, seepage and cap
Hilary movement of moisture from
below may soften the subgrade and
heavy loads will then cause serious
damage to the surface and the re-
pair cost will be greater than on an
untreated road. If restrictions are
enforced at. the proper time, they
can usually be removed earlier on
treated than on other roads.
All load limits will be posted on
conspicuous signs at both ends OF
the restricted sections at other
places along the road. They will
also be published in the depart
ment's weekly road report, which
is sent to daily papers every Fri
day. Changes may be made before
the next report is issued, but in
formation may be obtained from
the district maintenance offices or
the central office Of the Highway
department.
State Highway patrolmen will be
assigned to the posted sections, to
enforce the load restrictions. The
load limit means the total weight
of vehicle with load.
Many county road authorities are
posting load restrictions on state
aid and county roads.

Fund Is Voted In
Grass Hopper War
$1,450,0OO Incorporated In Agricul-
tural Bill-Senator Shipstead
Makes Address

Washington, March 8-The battle
for the eradication of the grass
hopper pest in the northwest, won
Tuesday in the senate by vote of
20 to As, called forth brief ironi-
cal address by Senator Shipstead,
of Minnesota.
The fight lasted two hours, be-
fore the appropriation of $1,450,-
900 was included in the agricul-
tural department bill, with which to
wage relentless warfare against the
pest whose eggs are waiting the
breath of spring before the insects
leap forth, seeking crops to de-
YOUR.
=. The fight against the appropria-
ton, lead by Senator King, Demo-
crat, Of Utah and assisted by Sena-
tors Mcclellan, of Tennessee, and
Tydings, of Maryland, was based on
the theory that at the present pc
riod 81, 100000 is a large amount Of
money and should not be appro-
priated.
Senator Shipstead said he was In
terested in hearing the plea of econ
omy made by senators who had pre-
viously voted, first to cancel for
eign debts in the sum of $500, 000,-
600, then to give financial aid to
banks and railroads in the sum of
another $5Oe,OO0,OOO and then had
placed an additional burden upon
the taxpayers this year by voting
the moratorium of $25O,OOO, 900,
thereby placing drag upon the
taxpayers, for the present year of
$1,250, 100000.
He called attention to the fact
that previous measures had been
voted for those who did not pro-
duce, and that the grasshopper bill
was to aid those engaged in the
production of wealth. He called at
tention to the fact that if some aid
was not extended to those who pro-
duce wealth, there soon would be no
wealth left to appropriate for those
who do not produce it.
The fight for the grasshopper bill
was led on the senate floor by Sem
ator Norbeck, of South Dakota, as
sisted by the other northwest sena-
tors. The South Dakota senator
outlined the nature of the pest and
described the serious inroads that
might be expected if the grass hop
per is permitted to work his will.
The amount of money to be ap-
propriated, he said, would be of
small moment compared with the
damage the insects might accom-
plish.

TO END DEPRESSION

That there is truth in the theory
of buying to end the depression
was evidenced by the result OF a
cooperative movement between
Gamble Stores and their manufac-
turers druing the last few weeks.
Through the cooperation OF manu-
facturers in the North and Middle
west, Gamble Stores place orders
for merchandise during a time
which was conceded to be one OF
the most slack seasons Of the year
in the manufacturing industry.
With the hearty cooperation
of these manufacturers, Gamble
Stores placed orders during this
slack season for IS carloads OF
merchandise.
Factories that were ordinarily
operating with one-third their us
ual help or who were completely
shut down, jumped into activity.
Full crews on full time were put
to work and many factories act
uaIly operated overtime filling
these orders.
Gamble Stores are using these
SIS carloads of merchandise to cele-
brate the 7th Anniversary of the
opening of the first store by a
storewide sale, starting March
18th Gas advertised elsewhere in
this paper).

Movement Started for
All Slightly Roadsides
Interested Groups Are Invited to
Discuss Plans for Beautifica-
ton Development

!, "A conference on roadside devel-
opment and Identification has been
called by c. M. Babcock, at the Of
fees of the Minnesota Highway de-
partment, for March II. The State
Department of Conservation, Min
nesota Federation of Women's
Clubs, Minnesota Editorial Associa-
tion, American Legion, Isaac Wal
ton League, League of Municipali-
ties, Minnesota Nurserymen's As
sociation, Minnesota Telephone As
ISOLATION, the Outdoor Advertising
association, power companies, and
oil companies have been asked to
send Representatives.
q, Elements affecting roadside de-
yelopment, Mr.. Babcock says, may
be grouped as follows: 80
Those affecting the safety of
foad users, such as structures,
trees, and parked vehicles, which
may obscure the view of the road
Or warning signs.
Those affecting the upkeep cost
and operation of the highway, such
as structures or vegetation in po-
sition where they may cause snow
drifts or obstruct drainage.
Those affecting the appearance
of the highway, such as unsightly
structures, mutilated trees, raw
earthwork, and signs.
Possible remedies suggested for
discussion are more orderly ar
rangement of structures, planting
of trees and shrubbery in positions
where they will not cause difficulty,
proper placing of utility lines, and
control of advertising. This may
require partial control through a
coming law, or interesting property
owners in proper planting schemes
and improvement of other condi-
tions near the right-of-way. Most
of the troublesome elements are
off the right-of-way and beyond the
control of the highway department.

nection the Minnesota Taxpayers
Association is gratified that a COM
mission has been appointed by the
Governor for this purpose.
Resolved, that the Minnesota Tax
payers Association call attention
to the need of further local tax
reduction during the coming year
and particularly the need Of in
terest in the assessment of proper
ty, this being a real estate assess
ment year.
Whereas, local governments in
Minnesota have reduced their taxes
by over seven millions Of dollars
during the past year, thus demon
strating the soundness of reducing
taxes by reducing expenditures, and
Whereas, this local sentiment
clearly indicates the desires ofsthe
people,
Resolved, that Minnesota Taxpay-
ers petition our state government
to heed this experience and senti-
ment and make drastic efforts in
both the executive and legislative
branches to reduce state govern
ment expenditures.
Resolved, also that the Minneso-
ia Taxpayers Association advocate
the Thoughtful consideration of re-
moving the tax exempt feature
from all further issues of bonds by
local and state governmental bod
les.
Whereas, the best estimates in
dictate that in 1881 Is per cent OF
the entire national income of this
country went to local state and
National governments; of which the
National government took almost
one-third.
Resolved, that Minnesota Taxpay-
ers Association, in every way pos
sible, urges that the National gov
eminent reduce expenditures just
as local governments are doing in
Minnesota.

that allowance shall be made for
land taken for highway purposes
