Bass TeaserS.
IN salt water trolling. a fashy
i hookless plug is trolled behind
the boat about halfway to where
your bait or lure is working This
''teaser' causes the fish to come up
and see what all the commotion is
about and in SO doing spot the bait
and hit it.
In fresh water trolling, when the
fish are not biting an underwater
''teaser" is often an aid in making
them take the bait.

collapsed for some reason and was car

Garibaldi, too, seemed to need as

the large crowd sent merry choruses
of boos after them and, for the first
time, rendered Mcmillan huge cheer.

New Taxes Go Into
Effect in Budget
Balancing Effort

Mr.. and Mrs. Citizen began the
task of balancing the federal budget
referred to them by congress this
week when the price of gasoline was
boosted cent at most stations and
other levies took affect.
Postal rates will go up July 6 to
help with the job while luxuries of al
most every kind, chewing gum, auto
mobile tires and dozens of other
articles are affected. Many of the
taxes are paid by the manufacturer,
directly, although the added expense
will be passed on to the consumer.
Bank checks now cost the writer
two cents regardless of their size,
telephone and telegraph messages are
affected if their original cost is more
than so cents and transfers Of stocks
and bonds will yield funds to fill the
treasury.
Theatre goers here will escape the
levy since prices are 40 cents or below
and consequently not subject to tax.
Candy, face powder, radios and cleo
trio refrigerators are a few of the
products assessed.

FARM BUREAU, All
MEMBERS TO HEAR
FARM SCHOOL MAN
Plan Annual Picnic June 30 at
Ramsey Park; Have
Attractive Program

J. o. Christensen, principal of the
school of agriculture at the univer-
sity farm, St. Paul, will be the prin-
cipal speaker at the annual Farm
Bureau and All club picnic to be held
in Ramsey park June 80.
An attractive program of games
and other entertainment has been ar
ranged for the many farmers and
their families who are expected to at
tend. Redwood Falls business men
will provide free ice cream to COM
plete the picnic at noon.
Mr.. Christensen has been with the
school of agriculture since 1920 when
he had charge Of about 400 disabled
soldiers being rehabilitated in agri-
culture. In summers, he supervised
the home project work of the school
students, including the disabled vet
Grams. In 1924 he joined the schools
department of social sciences, remain
ing until drafted as acting principal
at the death of D. D. Mayne. In
July, 1881, he was made principal.
1t is Mr.. Christianson's belief that
if agriculture is to maintain itself on
an equality with other groups, it must
give as good training in agriculture
and homemaking to those who remain
on the farm, as it gives in other lines
of work to those who leave the farms.

COUNCIL MAY TAKE.
ACTION TONIGHT ON
GAS PROPOSITION
Mayor City Recorder Visit Al
bert Lea, Rochester on
Second Tour
PROSPECTS FAVORABLE
May Put Matter to Vote; Local
Capital Plan Improbable
Under Circumstances

Gas plant propositions offered the
city will be given further considers
ton at meeting of the council to-
night and decision in the matter
may be reached, Mayor H. D. Thorp
announced this week upon his return
from a second tour of inspection.
Mr.. Thorp and F. B. Forbes, city
recorder, returned Tuesday afternoon
from Albert Lea where they went to
investigate reports that gas manu-
featuring plant holding franchise
there is preventing the installation OF
natural gas. They found that the AL
bert Lea council granted an exclusive
franchise in 1902 which has prevented
use of natural gas piped there from
southern fields.
Council members will consider to-
night whether gas plant, if install
ed, shall be municipality owned or the
property of outside interests.
Several members have favored hav-
ing the plant installed by local capital
but it is considered doubtful that such
an arrangement can be made under
present conditions.
Visit Rochester
From Albert Lea the officials went
to Rochester where they conferred
with the head of the natural gas COM
pany. He told Mr.. Thorp that Red
wood can expect natural gas in about
four years. Any franchise the city
officials may grant will not prevent
natural gas installation here.
City officials look with favor upon
the inspection trips made during the
month. The trip to the northern part
of the state and North Dakota more
than verified the picture which has
been painted by the men who want a
franchise here, they said. They visit
ed the plants, home users, mayors
and business men.
The company which Lee Barker,
sponsor of the northern trip, repres-
ents will pay all expenses of an cleo
ton if the council sees fit to give
authority. Mr.. Barker said a few
weeks ago that although the council
has the authority to, grant franchise
for gas plant they desire a vote of
a majority of the users.

tured in bullet-punctured car on
Bridge street in Redwood Falls at

and Deputy Beatty accompanied them
to the Elliott farm
Questioning there failed to disclose

Japs and Scott taking the Elliott
driveway.
While waiting, an Elliot boy walk

By Margaret Smith


The Americana defines American
ism as a word pertaining to the
"human aspirations for liberty, truth
and happiness"
"Americanism" applies not only
to the United States, but to every
nation. If the Americanization move
ment is a. selfish, nationalist move
ment, we can not expect to overcome
defeat. We are dependent upon the
Americanization of other countries
as well as upon the Americanization
of ourselves. If, however, our land
inspires the doctrine of Americanism
to face the struggles Of the world in
which we are a part, and if we help
other nations, the spirit of American
ism will last.
The fate of America is dependent
upon civilization; civilization is de-
pendent upon man. Therefore, man
must become Americanized and must
carry out the teachings of American
ism if he expects to make and main
tain his land as one to be proud OF.
He must work sincerely and stead
tasty for the benefit Of all.
Americanism, we know, means that
one hundred per cent of our popuia-
ton must be able to read, speak and
understand English; that history,
tradition, and custom become a part
ofevery Americans life.
Let us look back into the history
of the American man and see the
marvellous ideals and standards that
have been set up for him.
Man was placed in an uplifted posi-
ton In America. This position was
built for him by civilization. Wash
ington warned us against entangiing
ourselves with the European coun-
tries, as he believed the European
policy had become fixed in the chan
nels of birthright, while in America,

COMMENT ON
SPORT WORLD
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The scene
is the writing room of the Hotel
Windsor, Montreal.
The time is little more than an
hour before the New York Rang
ers Hockey team is to meet the
Montreal Maroons in the first
game of the season. ---
Andy AiLKenhead, 25 year old
rookie goalie of the Rangers, grin
on his boyish face, is writing a let
ter. When it's finished Andy will
snag a taxi, hustle to the forum,
don his thick pads and skate out
to just about the toughest spot any
sport has to offer. But he's not
worrying about that now; all hes
thinking about is that letter.
It's a 100 to l shot the letter is
to his mother and goes something
like this:
Dear Mama:
TITS about an hour before game
time now, and can't wait. I'm not
worried bit. This is my big night,
I've been waiting a long time to
get in there as goalie for a big
league team, and believe me I'm
not going to miss. Be sure and get
tomorrows paper and see what
Andy did to those Maroons. They
amt going to be able to shoot one
by me with a rifle tonight. Don't
worry about those boys roughing
me. I'm not very big, Mama, but
I'm plenty tough.
We'll, Mama, I got TO be going
now. Lots of love to you and Pop.
Andy.
"P. S.-You and Lucille be sure
and read those papers"
Well, we hope Mama and Lucille
did read those papers, because Andy
did just what he said he would. The
Maroons did get two shots by Andy
but they didn't matter much, be-
ing as the Rangers got four. The
little Saskatoon goalie hoped
about his nets right pertly, pulling
'em down from nowhere.
Andy is a pretty plain sort of
boy. But he's mighty particular
about one thing, and that's the old
dirty cap he wears all the time
he's on the ice. Take that cap
from him, and he swears he could
MT stop a basketball rolling down
the ice. Put it on his head and he'll
look a mile-a-minute blast from
the enemy'S stick in the eve and
guarantee results.
