Pheasants Hatch
But One Brood
Former Assistant Game and Fish
Commissioner Explains How
The Fallacy Started

We have heard it stated that
pheasants hatch several broods OF
chicks each season. Now comes
Robert B. Forest of the Lake Will
son Pilot, who says this not so,
and he should know, as he served
as assistant state game and fish
commissioner for several years.
Here is what Bob says concerning
this question:
Contrary to the belief Of OBJ
servers, who have been interested
for years, pheasants do not hatch
two or three broods a year.
According to biologists in, the
employ of the Minnesota state
game and fish department, phea-
ants in common with other upland
game birds in Minnesota, only
hatch out one brood a year. The
various sizes of the chicks is due
solely to the reason that the nest
has been destroyed by some agency
during the earlier months in the
breeding season, either by vermin
or man.
"The pheasant is persistent
breeder, almost as much so as the
average farm yard hen, and will
keep on furnishing a nest with
eggs and trying to hatch them
some time during the spring and
summer"

Lake County Will
Vote on Mergers
Dissolution Proposed For Seven
Units In Order To Effect
Economies

Lake County, Mimi, is preparing
a proposition to the voters on
November 9Th, of dissolving it's
seven townships, following a re-
solution by the board or county
commissioners at a recent meeting.
The petition calling for the elect
ion was signed by 319 voters. If the
PROPOSAL is favored, township Of
fees will be discontinued and the
work will be done in future by the
county board and other county Of
ficers, according to statement just
issued by the Minnesota Taxpayers
Association.
In TIE move to lower taxes and
secure more efficient government,
this northern county is advancing
the proposition. 1t would be an in
teresting experiment, since there is
opposition among many people
against the plan of doing away
with township government units,
based on the theory that it would
be an attack on "home rule"
The merger of these townships, it
is said, would effect economies,
Other Minnesota sections will
watch with interest the result of the
balloting in the northern county.

Neighbors said the entire house
was enveloped in smoke and flames
when they first noticed the fire
today. From the evidence, fire.
men at first believed there must
have been an explosion of some sort
in the building.
Mrs. Deunow came running from
the house, screaming. Several per-
sons attempted to enter the build
ing to safe the two babies, but in
tense heat made a rescue impos-
sible.
The house was burned to the
ground within an hour and the in
terror and all the contents were
reduced to cinders.
The father is unemployed and
the family had rebuilt a small
garage building into home.
The father was out seeking for
work when the blaze burst out to-
day. The mother was alone in the
small house with the children.

Old Army Bird
Shot By Hunter
Pheasant Goes Unframed When
Careful Aim Misses and
Scores Hit on Maud

'Hee Haw," Maud still lives,
although attempted murder
was perpetrated on her tough
carcass during the recent
pheasant hunting season.
Anyone who could have mis-
taken Maud for a pheasant
must have been slightly color
blind or entirely off side, for
that old Army Bird" can
never be compared in beauty
with the pheasant. But just
the same one of our hunters
made that sad error.
Here's the story. Reid
O'Gara saw a male pheasant
fly up and he aimed carefully,
pulled the trigger and missed
the bird. A terrible commotion
was started in the brush and a
mule came flying out, not
badly hurt, but greatly fright
ened. It took the owner several
hours to calm Maud's fears
and Reid thought for some
time that he would have mule
meat for the entire winter in
stead of toothsome pheasant
for one meal. AlPs well, that
ends well! Maud still lives and
Reid, although his friends have
kidded him a great deal, is
quite happy. "E1ee Haw!"

Coming Up
In Football
Over 80 Lads in the Grades
Are Being Taught Funda-
mentals of Game
STARS OF THE FUTURE
Sound Athletic Policy Will
Develop Strong Teams
in Few Years

The Junior High School football
team closed a successful season
with a game Wednesday. The
Fighting Irish," led by Hiram Bel
fingers excellent running, beat the
wildcats" by score of 10.
The Junior High boys started
their practise the same time the
varsity started work. About 60
young fellows, ranging from the
Fourth to the Ninth grades enroll
ed. Some thirty uniforms, left
overs from the varsity team, were
handed out.
Fundaments of football, especial
ly kicking, passing, and pass re-
ceiving, were practised. Some of
the older and larger boys did some
blocking and tackling. Touch foot
ball, that is, football without tack
ling, was played much of the time
During the last week the squad
was divided into two even teams.
Hiram Bellinger captained his
Fighting Irish" and Donald Hesse
was chosen to lead the wildcats"
A 80 minute final practise game
brought out some promising mater
ial that will be of value to the var
sity next year. Bill Johnson, Don
aid Hesse, and David Lux showed
some fine linework for the Wild
cats while Judy Dubois and Ro-
bert Edwards carried and passed
the ball well, the former making a
pretty 30-yard run from a reverse
pay. For the fighting Irish, Rich
ard Butler, tackle, Arthur Peter
son, and Dave Dubois, center, show
ed the makings of some real play
ers, each breaking into the Wild
cat backfield several times to block
punts and throw the men for losses.
Hiram Bellinger at fullback, slip
perry, shifty, and fast, picked his
holes like a second Nagurski. He
made two long gains, one for TO
yards and a touchdown. He also
played a fine defensive game. Krue-
ger converted the try-after-touch-
down.
All the boys are to be commend
ed for their fine spirit of sports
manship and cooperation through
out the season. I'D.

Tax Study Based
on Research Work
Facts, Not Prejudices, Must Be
The Foundation of Real Tax
Reforms

The taxpayer must have a re-
ference service if he is to act wise
ly on such important matters as
public levies, and that reference
service can best be made available
by such an impersonal body as
taxpayers group, Norman A Bor-
gen of the Minnesota Taxpayers AS
ISOLATION, declared in a radio talk
Thursday.
If rural districts can save hum
dreds of dollars every year through
merging Of rural schools, then the
methods and the facts in the case
should be presented impartially to
the taxpayer. We should know how
much is expended on all roads and
highways, state and local, and we
should give some consideration to
the per centage of improved and
unimproved roads as a basis for
our conclusions. If we have too
many departments and bureaus,
we should make a study of consol-
idation or elimination of these de-
partments. It all resolves itself into
this: that from taxpayers stand
point there must be some imper-
sonal organization that is constant
ly making a comprehensive study
of ways and means to improve our
methods in order to reduce taxes.
Mr.. Bergen said.
We must not act from a political
or mere party standpoint. Such
work has absolutely no relation
ship to parties or candidates. Our
work typifies the spirit of reseach,
the foundation upon which all
modern material progress must be
based. Research is the basis upon
which science, education. sociology
and industrialism are developed.
Shall the business of taxation be
carried on in a less intelligent
manner? We think not. We look
upon the whole matter in an imper-
sonal way, yet we come to Ndecis-
i've conclusions, in order to serve
the man who pays the taxes, and
in whose name we act, Mr.. Bor-
gen declared.

Sank Centre Defeats Albamy;.
Gives Glemw00d Hard Battle
Swamps Stearns Co. Team by
80 to 6 Score-Held Pope
County Champions

Sank Centre took sweet revenge
on Albany Friday after having suf-
fered two singing defeats on the
football gridiron in the past two
years, by running the visitors rag
ged, winning by a 80 to score.
The Herald of last week spoke
of the splendid forward passing at
tack of the Holdingford team. Sank
Centre took to the air early in
Fridays game and completed 10
passes out of a dozen tries be-
sides intercepting four of the Wis
itor's attempts. 1t was the prettiest
and the most effective aerial game
displayed by any football team ap-
pearing on the gridiron.
Albany kicked off to Sank Cen
tire. On the third play the locals
had the ball on the visitors Is yard
line. In their Zealousness to score
quickly they lost the ball on a
tumble. The play was in the visit
or's territory most of the first
quarter but the period ended with
an 0 to 0 score.
Sank Centre began to click with
the opening of the second period
and soon had the ball on Albanys
20 yard line. A beautiful pass by
[winski to Metzger resulted in a
touchdown. Kraemer drove throu
center for the extra point.
This boy Metzger, as blocking
back played a corking game Fri
day until he was forced to retire
on account of injuries.
Sank Centre kicked off to Albany.
On the second play Orville Carpen-
ter intercepted a forward pass and
ran 35 yeards to the visitors 20
yard line. A succession of line
plays off tackle and through cen l.
ire put the ball in position for
Iwinski to score through a hole in
center large enough to drive a
team. The attempt to negotiate
the extra point failed. Score, Sank
Centre 10; Albany 0, when the
half ended.
Sank Centre kicked off in the
third quarter. Albany's 190-pound
fullback riddled Sank Centres line
to shreds, crashing through the
line for IS yards to Sank Centres
5-yard line. The big guy plunged
through center for touchdown. He
failed to negotiate the extra point.
Score, Sank Centre 10, Albany G.
Albany kicked off to Sank Cen
ire. On the second play Butch"
ran through a broken field for SO
yards for a touchdown. Kraemer
scored the extra point. Score, Sank
Centre 20, Albany 6.
On the third play after the kick
off Kraemer got away for a IS
yard run being downed on Albany's
one-yard line. Butch" went thru
center for a touchdown. Score,
Sank Centre 26, Albany 6. The final
touchdown was made when Twins
XII ran wild for a 20-yard gain
around right end. A pass, Iwinski
to Korf, resulted in a touchdown.
When the final whistle blew Sank
Centre was in possession of the ball
on the visitors IS yard line.
But for over Zealousness Sank
Centre would have scored at least
three more touchdowns.
While the locals have improved
with each game they looked for the
first time, Friday, like an honest
to goodness High School football
team, capable of making any of
the other teams in the district
plenty Of trouble in the future.
