of Farm Board Flour to Needy
Fifty Sacks Go to Families in
City; Others Trucked to
Other Towns

Four hundred sacks of flour were
received in Redwood Falls Tuesday
by the Redwood county chapter of
the Red Cross to be distributed
throughout the county to needy fami-
lies. Fifty sacks were distributed in
Redwood Falls Tuesday afternoon
and the remainder were transported
Wednesday morning to other parts of
the county.
A meeting which was attended by
officers of chapters in the county was
held at the court house Tuesday af-
ternoon and requests for sacks were
received at that time.
Towns which were included in the
distribution of the flour are: Sea-
forth, Vesta, Sanborn, Clements, Nor
gan, Lucan, Wanda, Delhi, North
Redwood, Milroy, Belview, Walnut
Grove, Revere, Wabasso and Redwood
Falls.
The flour was appropriated by con-
gress and is part of the surplus wheat
which the government has on hand.
National Headquarters of the Red
Cross has charge of the distribution.
R. V. Ochs, chairman of the Redwood
Falls chapter, ordered 400 sacks for
this county and was elected chairman
of the distribution committee.
Mr.. Ochs stated that the flour was
received here and distributed to the
county chapters without cost to any
of the chapters. 1t will be stored in
the basement of the old Farmers

COUNCIL STUDIES
GAS PROPOSITION
ON TOUR TODAY
Will Visit Wahpeton, Detroit
Lakes Plants With
Promoters
ISSUE MUSIC CONTRACT
May Make Redwood Falls ''Key
City" for Distribution of
Gas in Section

Interest in a gas plant here was
renewed at special meeting of the
city council Thursday night and
study of plant operation in other
cities will be made today.
The trip will take the council men,
bers and F. B. Forbes, city recorder,
to Detroit Lakes, Minnesota and
Wahpeton, North Dakota, where they
will investigate the working plan of
gas plants in operation there.
Lee Barker, Minneapolis, repres-
entative of the syndicate which is in
terested in establishing gas plant
here, invited the council to go on the
inspection tour.
Plans Are Tentative
Council members and Mayor H. D.
Thorp stated this week that because
they are taking the trip does not
mean that Redwood Falls will have a
gas plant, but Mr.. Darker's company
has approached them with a PROPOSE
ton to establish one here and they
are investigating the matter since it
may be of value to Redwood Falls.
The gas plant proposition was con-
sidered last fall when two representa-
tives of the company were here and
talked to the council and members of
civic organizations.
Recommends Election
Mr.. Barker stated last week that
although the council has the authority
to grant franchise for a gas plant,
his company feels that if the council
would consent to let them install
plant here, they would also want a
vote of majority of the users.
"We do not feel" Mr.. Barker stat
ed, "that we should come into Red
wood Falls and establish a $4,000
business without vote of home own
ers who possibly would rather have
a municipality owned plant. We
would stand all expenses of the cleo
tion," he said.
AS in Detroit Lakes and Wahpeton
where the plant has branched out and
is now supplying towns within
radius of SO miles, the company, if
established here, would truck gas out
of here to neighboring towns, prob
ably within so miles.
Appropriate $50
$3.50 was appropriated toward the
salary of S. w. Limburg, high school
and city band instructor, at the re-
gular meeting Of the city council
Monday night. Heretofore the city's
share of the salary has been $500 but
it was cut five percent, in line with
the school boards general salary re-
duction. The contract will run from
August l this year, when the present
contract expires, to August l, 1888.

FAIR BOARD GETS
MANY CALLS FOR
SCHOOL TICKETS
Make Preliminary Plans at
Meeting Here Tuesday;
Fair Comes Early

Preliminary plans for the fifty
ninth annual Redwood county fair
were made Tuesday evening at a
meeting of the fair board in the court
house. Reports indicate live inter-
est in the project despite recent set
backs.
w. A. Hauck, secretary, reported
that letters have been sent to school
officials in several adjoining counties
asking for children ticket orders and
that 1886 requests have already been
received although Redwood Falls
schools have not yet been solicited.
The board annually furnishes tick
cts to a great many schools both in
the county and out as an inducement
to parents and children to take adj
vantage of the educational opportuni-
ties Of the fair. Children's tickets
are issued free Of charge.
Redwood county schools have ask
ed for 1856 tickets so far while
orders for 1,54O in Renville county,
SIS in Sibley county, 872 in Brown
county, 219 in Lyon county and 525
in Yellow Medicine county have been
filled.
Because of the early fair it was
necessary to get the reports in before
school closed. A reliable youth has
been delegated in each district to
take care of distribution since the fair
will be over before school starts
again. The fair dates are August
20, 80, 81 and September l.
Besides hearing reports, the board
passed on changes in premium lists
recommended by department chiefs
and set concession stand prices. Al
though the fair has been affected by
bad weather in recent years, direct
ors believe the arrangement OF earl
Ter dates will make it possible this
year to hold better fair with less
risk of rain and cold weather.

WILL SAVE RELIEF
FUND BALANCE FOR
NEXT WINTER AID
Association Decides to Cease
Issuing Meal Tickets
Temporarily
REPORT EXPENDITURES
Needy Supplied With Clothing,
Shoes, Food, Coal in
Large Quantities

Relief work and the issuance of
20 cent meal tickets to transients
will be discontinued temporarily in
Redwood Falls, it was decided Mon
day night at meeting of the relief
committee in the city hall.
The financial reports of the secre-
tary and treasurer were read and a
general summary of the activities
which the association accomplished
during the year was given.
Believing that the money which
the association has left will have to
be used next winter, committee mem
bers expressed themselves in favor
of disseminating the relief work for
the summer and also the giving OF
meal tickets which has been the prac-
tice in recent months. The commit
tee stated that very few in Redwood
Falls will need help during the sum-
mer.
The public is advised that the or
ganization is not overlooking the
problem that may face some OF the
citizens another winter and for that
reason the committee requests that
all clothing and bedding that is to be
discarded be given for distribution.
A vote of thanks was extended to
Mrs. H. M. Shoemaker who was re-
sponsible for great share of the re-
lief work and to A. M. Dennistoun
and the owners of the room which
was donated for use as supply room.

EXPECT DEMPSEY
TO BE CLEARED
BY ASSOCIATION
By GEORGE KIRKSEY
nited Press staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, Feb 6.--Jack Demp-
sey was on trial today before the
National Boxing association for
unpaid bills amounting to about
S250o in Columbus, Miss.
The case, instigated by the
Mississippi boxing commission. was
expected to be decided in Demp-
sey's favor permitting him to be-
gin his second exhibition tour al
Milwaukee, Monday night. A van
ishing promoter failed to pay the
bills for a boxing show Dempsey
refereed over q year ago.
An attempt to hold Dempsey re-
sponsible has been made by cerdi-
tors because. Dempsey was to have
shared in the profits. Dempsey
claims he was not paid for his
services and paid his own trans
portation from Los Angeles and
return.
Dempsey arrived today from Salt
Lake City. His opponests in Mil
waukee will be Jack Roper, Los
Angeles, and Buck Everett. Gary,
Ind, in two bouts of two rounds
each.
Demand for tickets to the
Dempsey Levinsky 4-round fight
at the Chicago stadium, February
l8, indicated all indoor attendance
records will be broken.

THRILLING NAVY
FILM BOOKED AT
LOCAL THEATRE

Eddie Quillan, diminutive come
dian, is the star of The Big Shot, !"
which plays tonight only at Fox
T'>'''o~'al theatre. with Maureen
O'Sullivan as his small town
Sweetheart and Mary Nolan as the
big city "vamp."
Quillan has a rollicking role,
that of a small town boy who goes
to the city and makes good in &
big way. Success causes him to set
a fast pace and his romance with
the small town girl is going on
the rocks because of his infatua-
ton for the big city Vamp.
There is fun from start to finish,
with Roscoe Ates, the sufferer,
having a big part in most of it.
Starting Sunday. the Fox theatre
will show Hell Divers" for three
successive nights.
This is a thrilling picture of
the better class, with Clark Gable,
Marjorie Rambeau and Wallace
Beery playing triple star roles.
1t is a dramatic story of the
naval aVlatlOn service, much OF
the filming being done at Panama
aboard the aircraft carrier
Saratoga and at North Island,
San Diego One scene shows 1870
planes in the air.
The high point of thrills comes
when the bombing planes, known
as Hell Divers" drop straight
down for two miles in less than
half a minute, to hurl bombs at
ship target. Another shows a
giant dirigible landing on the deck
of battleship.
AS might be expected, Beery has
"hard-boiled" role, being a petty
officer of the old school, who be-
lieves in being as tough as pos
sible. Gable has a corresponding
rank but is of the newer class of
navy men, causing him to clash
continually with the veteran.
They also get mixed up in their
love affairs and though there is
no love lost between them, the old
veteran comes through when his
comrade gets into a jam.

'SPORTSPARADE'
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent


LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Feb. g.
This argument about speed-skate
racing styles raging in these parts
right now. alarms me. for a snow
ball back of the ear, be it thrown
by a Jap, Finn, a Norwegian or
a SWede, is a very annoying thing
and likely to result in a very bad
headache.
But as an American citizen I
feel it my bounded duty to point
out that while the American style,
or an-against styleshas sew
eral glaring faults. it is not so
much worse than the European,
which calls for races against time
To hear the various foreign dele
cations heads tell it--and they tell
il on a 24-hour, 15-minutes-for
lunch schedule race under the
American plan is just about as
much a sport as say, walking up
to a six foot two lumberjack and
calling him names.
Should a stranger from Mars
drop down and hear these dele
cation heads describing race
under the American system, he
would be justified in asking If
there were doctors enough in the
states to treat all the wounded.
Now the thing isn't as had as
that. True, there is sometimes a
powerful low of elbow, shoulder,
knee and arm work put in during
the races, but that's about the ex-
tent OF mischief.
Another nice thing about the
American system is that it takes
into consideration the feeling of
the spectators-those hardy crit
ters who brave pneumonia, snow
blindness, grandstand collapses and
death by freezing to watch a race.
Clever pockeying for position by
boys who know all the tricks of
the trade. Surprise starts by COM
petitorS buried in the pack-starts
that carry the runner to the head
of the mapping field. Man to man
battles around the turns. and best
of all, hard-driying, hell for leather
drives down the home stretch, with
the winner often undecided until
the last desperate lunge. That's
d sport to watch.
Now, what do you get under the
European system? Nothing but the
sight of a chappie out there float
ing round and round the ice, fight
ing nothing more human than a
stop-watch. OF course, its all very
graceful but who wants TO sit out
in a blizzard to get grace, when
you can get the same thing by sit
ting in front OF the fire and
watching your cat walk. stretch
and yawn?

CENTRAL UNION
SPLITS GAMES
WITH BRAWLEY

test in FL Centre, BraWley and Ell
Centre last night split the evening
down the middle. each taking one
half the nights honors, but with
Fl Centro winning a championship.
and Brawley cinching a second
place.
The Central high school class &C.
team made certain of the Imperial

vision by defeating Brawley, 20

team assured itself of second place
and showed FL Centro into third
place in that league by winning.

Because the March field airport
team was unable to come, and sent
word 10 that effect at the last min
ute. the FL Centre Junior college
team did not take the floor.
Coach Ketchen's class &C" team
was not in danger at any time
after the game opened, taking an
immediate lead and holding it
throughout the entire game. They
led TO at the half, and increased
this lead by a second half squirt
which brought several field goals
in rapid succession.
Wong. Ell Centre center was the
star of El Centro's offensive play
in the class &C" division. He was
responsible for 15 of his teams
points. AS usual the defensive
work of Rex and Van Nostrand
held Brawley to few good shots and
three field goals.
This victory stamps the FL
Centro &C" team as one of the out
standing quintets produced by the
local school, since the class &C"
team went through this session
without a defeat.
The class IA" game was a riot.

an early lead which was gradually
increased during the first half.
ending that period with IA 10

seemed an easy victory for the
Spartans, until Brawley opened up
in the second half.
Brawley was the aggressor DIR
ing this period, sending Ell Centro
hopes to despair, and causing q
collapse of the FL Centro defense
during the fourth quarter, when
Brawley scored almost at Will
Runge, with II points; Eman-
uelli, with 10, and P. Williams
with 8, were scoring aces for Braw-
ley. Ellis at guard and Fisher and
Novak, each with 9 points, were
stars for the El Centro team.

Marcn Field Team
Fails To Arrive

Unable TO meet the March Field
airport team because that squad
was grounded by weather condi-
tions in Riverside and could not
fly to Imperial Valley yesterday, the
El Centre Junior College basket
ball team at 7:30 tonight will meet
the San Diego State freshmen in
a game scheduled at the last
minute.
Coach Robert Finn of the Junior
College has been working his play
ers oyertuae during the last week
in expectation of hard game with
March Field, but since that team
could not come his players will be
in the best of condition for the
San Diego contest in the high school
gymnasium here.
