at Walnut, Evan at Wa
bassO in First Round

Practice sessions over, teams Of
the newly organized Twin County
league will swing into action this
week with old rivals booked for
first round games which promise
to attract large crowds Of fans.
The league is made up of teams
from Redwood and Brown county
towns which were entered in three
other loops last year, the former
Big Six, the Straight Eight and
the Southwestern association.
Sanborn Of the old Big Six
meets Walnut Grove of the South
western league on the latter's dia-
mond Sunday while Wanda and
Morgan, former Big Six rivals, re-
new their battles at Morgan. Evan
of the old Straight Eight goes to
Wabasso and Leavenworth steps
over to Springfield.
While the league unfortunately
leaves out several towns of i'm
portance in the baseball map of
the county, many of the players
from these towns will neverthe-
less be used. The proximity of
the towns and the live baseball
interest in them should make the
new league a successful one fin
ancially and offer games worthy
of the time spent at them by fans.

GAME BIRD EGGS
WILL BE SAVED
Farmers, SpOrtsmen to Work
Together in Program
of Department

Redwood county sportsmen are
taking part in an egg rescuing
campaign sponsored by the state
game and fish department to pre-
vent loss of bird life through des-
truction of nests.
When nests of game birds are
unavoidably disturbed in fields,
farmers are asked to notify Game
Warden Lyle Tweet or officers of
the Game Protective league. Car
tons will be furnished in which
eggs can be packed and mailed to
the state wild game hatchery at
Madelia for Matching.
Cards also are furnished which
carry information as to care of
the eggs and should be filled out
as accurately as possible to enable
the hatchery to give them proper
treatment. This includes, kind,
number in nest, location of nest
and temperature and weather con-
ditions on day found.
Eggs should be packed in saw
dust or newspaper with small end
down. If kept more than "a
hours, the carton should be turn
ed over. Heat, cold or dampness
should be avoided and fresh eggs
should be kept at about SIS degrees
while partly incubated ones should
be kept at 85 degrees
This fall the birds Matched from
these eggs will be released in 10
calities where found as near as
possible. It is estimated that
about one-third of all game bird
eggs are destroyed under present
conditions.

Council Expects to Call for
Disposal Plant Bids
by May Is
Maurstad Reappointed as Day
Policeman; Forbes Heads
Street Project

The municipal bond issue of
$4,000 for the sewage disposal
plant has been sold, bearing a
three per cent interest rate, which
is said to be the lowest rate
known in Minnesota for bonds of
a city the size of Redwood Falls,
it was reported at the city coun-
Gil meeting Monday evening. Plans
and specifications are expected to
be completed soon and construc-
ton bids will be called for about
May Is.
During the lengthy session, c..
L. Maurstad was appointed day
policeman, a position which he
has previously held. Mr.. Maur-
stad will relieve Ernest Weber,
commissioner of streets, who has
been acting in the capacity of
constable but has found his other
duties too numerous to allow him
to continue. Another appoint
ment was that of F. B. Forbes
who was engaged to oversee the
sidewalk, curb and gutter project.
Alderman George A. Patton
moved that a 16 foot culvert be
purchased for Earl Peabody, since
his river crossing below the sew
age disposal plant outlet was des-
troyed when drainage bitches were
dug in the river bed during the
drouth last year. The motion was
passed.
Complaining that his property
had been damaged through the
activity Of the school children on
the Lincoln playground, Frank
Gerstman appeared before the
council to ask that a fence be put
up between the school ground and
his lots which adjoin it. 1t was
decided that Leon d. Brown, city
attorney, should meet with the
school board Monday evening to
discuss the matter.
Others who appeared before the
council were John Lauterbach, Jr.,
who asked that labor on the sew
age plant be selected through the
National Unemployment office, Of
which he is manager and Mrs. s.
A. Appleton who complained of
the dust nuisance near her home
on Minnesota street near the new
bridge. Mrs. Appleton also re-
quested that a surface water drain
be placed near her home.

rush hour traffic jam, President
Roosevelt today has asked all Gov

which may be used in a decision
concerning a proposed order stag
gering the opening and closing
hours of the Government depart

lowing the suggestion of Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzen
that street car traffic could be
Strengthened out if the Govern.
rent offices, particularly those in
the Triangle, would undertake a
series of staggered opening hours.
President Roosevelt made it
known some time ago that he
would not recommend or order
Staggered hours without knowing
more about the subject from the

that, in case the Government
adopts staggered hours, there will
be full cooperation by private of

LEGION INSISTS
WAR PROFITS
MUST END
BeIgrano Claims Such Law in
1917 Would Have Fore
stalled Bonus Demand
Information News Service

Legislation prohibiting war
profiteering in 1917 would have
forestalled the demand of vet.
erans for full payment of their
adjusted service certificate, Com
mander Frank L. Belgrano, Of
the American Legion, today told
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee, which is considering a
resolution by Chairman McSwain
CD of South Carolina, designed
to take the profits out of war
and equalize the burdens of ma
tional defense. Mr.. Belgrano de-
clared:
There was one prOfiteering
millionaire in this country dur
ing the last war for every white
cross in Flanders. Had this leg
islation been on the books in
1917, the Legion would not now
be asking for the payment of
the adjusted service certificates
at this time"
He said any bill eliminating
war profiteering would be the
greatest defense measure that
could be presented, asserting:
"The Government should not
only call upon the manpOwer
but conscript capital and indus
try as well. If you take profit
out of war, you won't have one"
Raymond j Kelly, of Detroit,
former chairman of the Legion's
legislative committee, predicted
that if Congress failed to enact
such legislation, the United States
might face defeat in a future
conflict. He testified
"The question is whether cap
ital and industry should be
allowed to contribute only what
they feel they should. If this
condition exists in the case of
war, there would be months of
delay and If we are not de-
feated, the cost of victory would
be staggering"
