rested at the annual meeting In December by
b committee headed by George Reith of New
York, who was the first to propose 1t. The
league meeting adopted the idea in principle
unanimously and voted the creation Of a COM

work out the details and put 1t in force. Sir
Derrick Wernher Of New York is chairman Of

Fred G. French Of Philadelphia and Henry p.

With their labors now completed, the detailed

Strong Drive To
Revive Business
@. r. Bruce Heads Local Committee
In Effort TO Bring Money
Out of Hiding

The campaign n the state and
nation to bring idle money out of
hiding and put it to work, is an eff
fort to revive business and thus
help drive out depression. The
campaign is under way this week
in thousands of cities and villages
throughout the nation and citizens
volunteer organizations everywhere
are in charge of it. The movement
was started at the suggestion Of the
government.
G. r. Bruce, Geo. O'Gara and
Alex Bromenschenkel are in charge
of this community. =
Speaking over national radio
net work Sunday night, President
Hoover Said that during the past
year upwards of 1900 million dol
lars had been Withdrawn from the
channels of trade and hidden away
in safety deposit boxes and in other
places. This money is needed in
business if there is to be a revival
of business and its withdrawal from
trade is a brake upon the return
of prosperity, said the President.
In fact, he said that there can be
no revival of business until this hid
den money is returned to trade
channels.
The purpose of this nation wide
effort by the government is to help
bring this money back to work. AS
a matter of fact the best place for
money is in good banks such as we
have in Sank Centre. Such money
helps everybody in the community

Johnny Players
In Lenten Play
Sank Centre People VIII Have OPP
portunity To Witness Unusual
Production

Those residents of Sank Centre
who motored to st. Johns last Sun
day evening to witness the Lenten
play pronounced it wonder. The
Great Theatre of the World" was
given to an overpacked house in
the large st. John auditorium. In
color, power of drama and gripping
climaxes, it was perhaps the best
play ever produced by the st.
Johns Dramatic Club. By those
who witnessed "Everyman" OF the
past two years, last Sundays per-
Torrance of 1.-THE Great Theatre"
was judged to be worthy success
sor.
The plot of the play is built upon
a command of God to the World
that the World stage a play. To
those actors in the play who per-
formed well will come fitting re-
ward, whereas to those who act
poorly will come the deserved pun
ishment. The World stages the
play. Death however, interrupts
the action of the drama, and in the
third act God passes judgment on
the roles as given by he members
of the Worlds cast.
The demand has been insistent
that the Johnny Players repeat
last Sundays play, and hence they
will present it again at eight
o'clock next Sunday evening for the
public.

Tabulation Shows
Steady Growth
State Auditor Stafford King Has
Made Public Some Interesting
Statistics

Total taxes levied in Minnesota
in 1890 and payable in 1881 aggre-
gated $130, 921, 946, according to
an abstract of tax lists compiled
by State Auditor Stafford King
and made public Saturday. This
figure represents a decrease of
$2,360,000 under the preceding
year, and compares with $115, 391, :
600 in 1920, only $33 900 in 1910,
and $14, 1858, 900 in 1900.
In considering the increase in
total state levies it is necessary
to bear in mind a somewhat cor
responding increase in property
valuations. These mounted from
$58S, 100000 in 1900 to $1,194, OOO, 900
in 1910, $2,0s4, 100000 in 1920, and
back to $1,S99, 10000 in 1880.
The report shows the value Of
farm lands in Pennington county to
be $2,9996, 277, city and village prop
erty 81, 390, 1855, and personal prop
erty $453, 1928, making a combined
total of $3.50, 760. In addition the
county tax rolls show $482, 100 in
moneys and credits. Total taxes
levied in the county in 1880 are
shown to be $418,359.71.
OF the total taxes to be paid in
the county the largest percentage
amounting to $15S,153.70 was ap-
portioned to the county. Next came
the school districts with $141 ,061. 80
followed by the city of Thief River
Falls and villages with $57, 282.45,
and township taves of $23,411.98.

Possession Is Not
Evidence of Sale
Minnesota Supreme Court Handed
Down Important Decision Fri
day-Woman the. Victim

Minneapolis, March 14-For the
second time in two months, the
State Supreme Court today revers'
ed Municipal Court liquor convic-
ton.
Miss Anna B. Scheid, roomine
house keeper, was convicted OF
possessing liquor for sale, made an
appeal and won the reversal.
She was arrested in October af-
ter police found a quantity of IL
quor in a room in her house.
Mysterious disappearance of sew
eral bottles of beer was reported
after the beer had been been plac-
ed in the basement of the court
house and marked for exhibits.
The high court commended there
was insufficient evidence to war
rant a conviction.
1--WE have always held that some
thing more than possession is nee
essary to sustain a conviction of
pesssion with intent to SELF, the
opinion stated. There must be
some accompanying act or fact,
and they must be varied in nature
and circumstantial in character,
tending to show that sale was to
attend the possession"
Leo McHale, assistant city attor-
ney, said the. decision meant mere
possession of liquor did not con-
stitute evidence Of sale. 1t meant
also that police would have to
build their liquor convictions on
actual evidence of sale rather than
on seizure of liquor in raided
places, he said.

Farmers Shipping
Office Moved
Retrenchment Program Deemed
Necessary BY Board of Direct
ors-COntinue Grain Business

The Farmers Shipping Associa-
ton is moving its office located in
the mill, back to its property near
the Great Northern depot this
week.
The Board of Directors has, since
the first of the year, attempted to
make arrangements whereby they
would be enabled to continue oper-
ating the mill. but their efforts were
futile. And as retrenchment pro-
gram it was deemed advisable to
take the office back to the old
stand.
The association will continue in
the grain business as before.
With better times in view, the
board has planned for expansion of
the business in the future, and the
good service of the organization
given in the past will be contin-

At Normal Cost
SATURDAY MATINEES
Dime Will Admit Adult or
Child-A Weekly Feature
Simple Plan

local business men with Manager
Perrizo, of the Oxford threatre
the citizens of Sank Centre and
community have in store some
splendid entertainments each
Saturday afternoon at a nominal
cost of 10 cents each for adult or
child.
There are no obligations connec-
ed with this plan. Fifteen thou
sand tickets have been placed in
the hands of the business men
whose names appear on the page
announcement on page four of
this issue. The person desiring to
attend any of these Saturday mat
inees will be supplied with tickets
by calling at any of the stores.

Locating State
Highway Big Job
Selecting Best Route for Perma-
nent Road Involves Careful
Study of Problems

Fixing the permanent location of
a trunk highway is the most i'm
portant work the Highway depart
ment has to do, according to Com
missioner G. M. Babcack. The
right-of-way and grading are the
most permanent parts of the road,
and it is essential that the best To-
cation be selected. Skimping on
expenditures for surveys may re-
suit in a large increase in con-
struction costs. Proper location of
the road saves money to road u.s.
ers.
When you see crew of state en-
gineers making a survey, it is no
sign that new highway will be
built Immediately, or that it will
go where the stakes are set. &C
cording to Mr.. Babcock. The pres
ence of engineers often leads to
erroneous reports as to the time
certain routes will be improved and
the place they will be located, and
such rumors have caused some
communities needless worry.
Stakes are no indication where
the road is going. Preliminary sur
veys may be made of several tenta-
tive routes. This information is
necessary in determining the best
and most economical route. Drain
age surveys and land surveys are
often necessary, ind require the
engineer to cover considerable ter
ritory on both sides of the route.
When the engineers reports reach
the central office, computation is
made of the dirt to be moved,
bridges and culvsrts needed, cost
of right-of-way, etc. Steep hills,
swamps, railroad crossings, farm
buildings and groves, connecting
roads and streets, scenic features,
and snow conditions. are all fac
tors to be considered. If traffic on
