Belgrade 4; Sank Centre O

The Sank Centre team was again
bested for its fifth straight loss in
the Central Minnesota Leagues sec
ond half Of play. The locals made
five hits and one error, while Bel
gadt took IL hits and made one
error.
Soltau was on the mound for the
locals and did some effective pitch
ing; Anderson of Belgrade, however
held the Sank Centreites to five
little bingles, with no chance to
score. The Sank Centre team play
ed a very good game and made two
double plays.
Regal, having taken all the games
in the first half, has already won
five in the second. It looks as
though that team will have a per-
feet record for the season. Glen
wood and Elrosa are tied for sec
ond place. Brooten was taken out
the three-way tie Sunday in their
loss to Elrosa.
If regal can be taken one game
during this second half, play-off
will be necessary. If Regal wins
all games they will be declared the
winners without a struggle.
Sank Centre remains in the base
ment with no wins in the second
half. The locals won but two in
the first half season and it looks as
though they will end the agony in
that fashion.

Highway Projects
Employ $4,000 Men
State Road Work Hits Peak Sea-
son, Elsberg Announces-Funds
Create Employment

Employment is now being pro-
vided for approximately $4,000 men
by the Minnesota highway depart
ment, according to N. w. Elsberg,
commissioner.
This is the season of peak activ-
ity in highway work, both in con-
struction and maintenance. Road
jobs are under way in practically
every county in the state.
Nearly all the construction in
progress is being paid for with
federal funds granted the state
last year. The grant this year is
only half as large as last, which
will mean corresponding reduc-
ton in construction next season.
Mr.. Elsberg said. The U. 8. En-
ployment Service supervises the
hiring Of labor for federally f.
nanced work.
Estimating only two dependents
to each workingman, the highway
funds now being expended are
supporting approximately $4,000
persons, or a group equal to- the
combined populations Of st. Cloud,
Rochester and Mankato.
Money spent for highway i'm
provements," said Mr.. Elsberg,
means a saving in driving costs
to motorists. It is a capital in
vestment which will continue to
pay dividends to the public for
many years. At the same time,
road funds create a maximum of
employment spread throughout
the state. The U. s. Bureau Of
Public Roads estimate that about
800 cents Of every dollar Of road
expenditures goes directly or in
directly into wages and salaries"
