Selus of Belview will represent
the county at the state meeting
and at the pre-convention confer
ence at Montevideo March 20.
They were not instructed as to
what candidates to support.
A straw vote Indicated that Ell

that effect. Another resolution
asking that the majority report of
the platform committee at the
state convention be printed and
distributed to each delegate at
least an hour before the vote on
policies takes place was also
adopted.

COLLEGE COURSES
MAY BE OFFERED
IN HIGH SCHOOLS
Legislature to Get Plans
For Offering Higher
Work Locally
Small Colleges Expected to
Oppose Plan Because
of Competition

Redwood Falls may become a
seat Of higher education within
the next few years if plans now
under consideration to establish a
two year course of training be-
yond high school, equivalent to the
freshman and sophomore years at
the University of Minnesota, ma
terialize.
The plan is regarded as pract-
icable in north central states where
colleges are distant and costly ac-
cording to Superintendent Reede
Gray. 1t was explained at re-
cent meeting at the university OF
school men from throughout the
state, which Mr.. Gray attended.
Placing of the project in opera
ton, however, Mr.. Gray said Tues
day, would depend on the action
of the state legislature as the un-
dertaking would have to be sup
ported by state funds.
considerable interest has been
shown on the part of the people
in town who know of the plan,
Mr.. Gray stated, "and who have
children about to graduate from
high school. Tracy is also very
much interested in the idea"
Strong opposition to the estab-
lishment of such a school system
is being offered by liberal arts
schools in the state, such as Car.
Teton, Hamline, Manchester anc
others, Mr.. Gray said, as then
enrollments would inevitably be
affected. 1t is feared that theil
influence might prevent legislat
ors from acting on the proposal.
Two divisions are planned, one
finishing school emphasizing
music, industrial arts, English
and related practical subjects ant
the other a regular two years o.
college training for those plan
ming to continue with universit!
work. The latter branch would b.
recognized by the university ant
those entering the larger institu
ton upon completion of their worl
here could matriculate as juniors
State colleges, it is said, have in
dicated their aversion to the &C
ceptance of the two year cours'
as tantamount to freshmen ant
sophomore years in their classes
The school would be operated
as public school, Mr.. Gray point
ed out, with tuition free. Adop
ton of the plan here would pro
bably entail the engaging of NOR
highly trained instructors, Will
, accommodation for the student
would probably make necessar,
the construction of additiona
class rooms, Mr.. Gray said. Re
modelling of the assembly room
and two smaller adjoining room
and adoption of the home room
plan has been advanced as on
solution.
The registration it is expecte'
would be composed of student
within committing distance, sue
as Morton, Belview, Vesta, Delhi
Wabasso, Clements, North Red
wood and other towns within dali,
driving distance.

STOLEN CAR TURNS
UP AT NIGHT CLUB
Man on Parole for Mill City
Deal in Court Here on
Theft Charge

Already under suspended
sentence of a year in the st. Cloud
reformatory for tampering with a
police car, Stanley Peterson, 20,
of Minneapolis plead guilty to q
charge of grand larceny in NUM-
cipal court here Monday morning.
Peterson was apprehended by c.
L. Maurstad, deputy policeman,
early Sunday morning outside the
Big Tree club near Morton in pos
session of an automobile owned by
Frank Starr of Redwood Falls.
Admitting his guilt and his pre-
vious police record, he was bound
over to district court and senten-
ced Wednesday by Judge A. B.
Gislason at New Ulm to a year
and a half at st. Cloud.
Starr had parked his Chevrolet
sedan outside Perks Barber shop
at 11:30 p. m. Saturday while he
went inside to wait for Frank
Bishop, an employee there. When
they came out and discovered the
car missing, they notified author
tiles and together with Maurstad
started the search. In course of
the hunt they discovered the au-
tomobile outside the night club
which Bishop entered while Starr
a representative of the Webb Pub
fishing company, and Maurstad
waited outside.
Processing to have no way OF
getting back to Redwood Falls
Bishop secured a ride with Peter
son and two Redwood Falls men
who, unaware that the car was
stolen, had accompanied him. The
group emerged at about a. m
and got into the automobile while
Bishop stood at the door of the
machine until Maurstad made the
arrest. Peterson was brought tt
the county Jail by the officer.
Peterson made front page news
in Twin Cities papers about three
weeks ago when he was founc
tampering with the wires of 9
squad car. He has been visiting
in Redwood Falls for several days

Essays Asked of County Schools

would be selected, five from town
schools and five from rural
schools.
The newspapers part in the
contest would be to print first the
two best from their local school
and later the county's ten best, in
series, one per week.
While the plan is based on a
contest, the committee will stress
in its information to schools and
newspapers that the basic idea is
to bring the matter to the atten-
ton of children, where lessons of
safety are most important and
then to adults through the news
papers.

Cold Delays Season
For Chick Hatcheries

Because of the late season and
long period of extreme cold
weather, the laying season has
been delayed and the height Of
hatchery output will not be reach

operators here said this week.
Since many people want chicks
early, it is expected this will cut
down the number Of chicks raised,
probably resulting in q higher
price for poultry next fall, they
said.

PRESIDENT LAUDS
WOMEN'SA ACTIVITY
Letter Tells National Busi-
ness Federation Social
Progress Need.

President Roosevelt yesterday eX-
horted the Nations women to direct
their influence Ito the end that social
progress shall not be thwarted by
those who are actuated only by selfish
motives"
His message, sent to the National
Federation of Business and Profess
Sional Women'S Clubs, opened the
ninth annual observance of National
Business Women's week, March 1921.
II am much interested in the fact
that you have chosen as your theme
for special consideration during the
week 'Women's Responsibility in Effec-
tive Democracy the President wrote
Miss Louise Franklin Bache, executive
secretary of the federation.
1T is one of the favorable signs of
the times that people more and more
are taking an interest in the affairs
of government. 1t is my belief that
the more popular interest is aroused
in governmental matters, the more
effective the people will be in achiev-
ing their aspirations. Henc,, at the
present time. when We as Nation are
striving to find our way into better
ordered social system, it is fortunate
that women have become SO active
politically and are encouraging legis-
lative reforms and innovations de-
signed to improve the social order. A
great responsibility rests with them
in making their influence felt to the
end that social progress shall not be
thwarted by those who are actuated
only by selfish motives.
II wish for you every success in
the studies you are making at this
time concerning plans and methods
through which We may make our de-
mocracy serve higher purpose in
humanitarian progress"
