Number of Retail Establish.
ments in State 10 Per Cent
Over Boom Year 1929

The number of persons employed in
retail stores in Redwood county grad
ually increased from February tc
October in 1888 and then tapered of
slightly in the last two months of the
year, according to the report of the
business census, figures for which
have just been released.
In January last year PIT persons
were on salary in places coming under
the census. This did not include pro.
prietors. The low for the year was
February with 276 while March saw
an increase to $50 and April to 289
In May the total jumped to 81 and
instead of going into a slump the
summer months saw an increase to BE
in June, 1926 in July and 333 in August
NRA undoubtedly played part in
this increase. September and October
were peak months with $50 employ
ed and November and December fig
ures fell off to BAL and 342 respec-
lively.
Part-time employment figures run
as follows in the report: January &c.
February 60, March 70, April 80, May
100, June 12O, July 119, August 121,
September 119, October 1O1, Novem-
Der 100 and December lit.
Redwood county has 1876 retail
business places included in the CEN
sus with a gross volume of business
of $4,213,000. There are 416 proprie-
tors and an average of 316 full time
and 102 part time employees. Full
time employees drew $253,000 in wag-
es while part time helpers received
$4,000.
Other figures in the report are for
the entire state and reveal dozens of
interesting facts. In 1929 the increase
in employmet from April to Decem-
Der was seven per cent. Last year
the increase in the same period was
Is per cent, indicating that the i'm
provement was far more than season
al.
With all the business failures of
tue OcpIeoSloH years, eIouSH ueW
stores have opened in the state to in
crease the total from 30,725 in 1929
to 33,948 last year, Or about 10 per
cent. Meanwhile the dollar volume
of sales fell off Al per cent Or from
$1,051 100000 to $584,412,OO0.
To meet this situation proprietors
were forced to cut wages of employ
ees and in many cases, to lay off en-
ployees. While payrolls were reduc-
ed 40 per cent, the number of en-
ployees was cut "a per cent. The
average full time employee drew
$1,22S in 1929 in Minnesota and $96s
in 1888. Meanwhile there was an in
crease of AZ per cent in the number
of part time workers and gain of
81 per cent in part time payrolls, in
dicating that many firms got along
with part time instead of full time
workers during the depression and
generally gave them more work than
they did part timers in the boom
year.
The monthly fluctuation in en-
ployment in 1888 for the entire state
is shown in this table:

Total levies of the general proper
ty tax for Minnesota, including the
state and all subdivisions, were $38,
100000 in 1911. Twenty years later,
in 1881, the total had jumped to 500,
344,71O, according to report Of the
Minnesota Taxpayers Association.

shadows. They may make the backfleld
and they may make the llne-but
they rarely make the headlines.
Few Yale men go in for coaching
foot ball. What Yale man would be
available? Howard Jones won't leave
Southern California and no one can
blame him for that
But Tad Jones and Jack Owsley are
both natural leaders who know their
share of foot ball.
If Yale should elect to pick head
coach outside of the Blue fold, the
nomination would likely be Harry
Kipke of Michigan.
But there is a strong chance that
Yale will stick to a Yale head coach,
surround him with the best assistants
available from the Middle West. swing
back to old Yale fundamentals-and see
now this plan works.
All of which is an observation, which
carries as much logic as any other guess
yet thrown to the winds.

HECKLEto of players, at least to
i l. an unNarranted degree will not
be tolerated hereafter in the
public high school basket ball series.
Officials have been instructed to stop
games in which heckling becomes per-
sonal
This action was decided upon yester-
day after Louis (Rube) Hayman, reg
ular guard, was withdrawn from the
Central team for the remainder of the
public high series by DR.. Harvey Smith,
Central principal.
Hayman took a sock at John Nc
Lean, end of the Tech eleven last
Fall, Between the halves of the East
ern-Tech game last Tuesday. Hayman
and several other Central players SEN
countered Mclean in a corridor, and
after upbraiding him for heckling
CentrarS players, Hayman cut loose
with haymaker. Several other Cen
trail players also rushed to the attack.
but Hap Hardell, Tech High foot ball
and track coach, broke up the pro-
ceedings
The principals of all five of the
high schools and John Paul Collins,
president and treasurer of the Inter-
high Athletic Association, agreed that
both the fighting and the heckling
must be eliminated.

worked for two hours and in that
time they did some tricks with a
foot ball amazing enough to make
the four spectators pop-eyed.
The most striking part of the per
formance was the way the profess

speed with which they ran the

In turn might throw it over to Bull
Doehring.
By this time Bill Hewitt would be
over near the right field bleachers
As If to suggest that this thing had
gone far enough, the left-handed
Doehring would cut loose with 60
to 10 yard pass. Couldn't pass that
far? Oh, yes he could. and did. He
threw two more than rs yards. one
carrying 78 on the fly and the other
an even 80.

~ URBAN, N. c., January II
| / RJ.-BaSe ball, like other
~ forms of sport and amuse-
ment, finds itself much
healthier in body and spirit at
the turn into a new year. The
reasons are visible in our various
walks of life.
We find railroads being Travelled
more than they have been in several
years; we find the wheels of more
factories turning with less interruption;
we find our merchants and professional
men in an easier state of mind. All
of which tends toward more gener-
Gus circulation of currency.
The employer is noting favorable
turnover in his business and this is
reflected in a betterment of conditions
for the employed. When we reach
such a state, those enterprises which
amuse and entertain the public are to
benefit, and I am happy to predicJ
that the minor leagues of base ball
stand to enjoy their share Of the re-
turn to increased patronage.
We applied the emergency brakes in
1888 in resistance to any further de
preston. We determined to operatf
upon a conservative budget basis, an
the results were very gratifying.

II DO not propose to convey the i'm
preston that our enthusiasm
should run promiscuously and get
the better of our business judgment.
We must proceed with caution. even
though we are on safer ground. 1t
will require judicious handling of our
resources, but we have learned many
things during trying times, and with
the proper administration of sound
business policies, We should be able to
indulge in pleasant retrospection at
the close of the coming season.
We are assured of several new
leagues in our membership for 1884
We hope to add to this number annu-
ally until organized base ball is being
played in every community.
Minor league base ball, in my eSti-
nation. will hold an even keel in 1894,
with progress being noted on less trou-
bled waters All branches Of sport, /
believe, will share in such an uplift,
and our great American game Of base
