independents 80; Cold Spring 8

Independents 80; Cold Spring 80
Dragging themselves homeward,
tired and cold from the long trip
and the gruelling contest, the Sank
Centre Independents brought home
one of the few defeats of the year
last Friday evening. The Cold
Spring Brewers were their victors
with a score of 80 to 30.
Scoring for no one player on
either team was exceptionally high.
Scoring was pretty well divided.
Pat Dubois tied with the Brewers
high point man, Ethun, with ten
points. Meinz followed with eight
points, and Sieben and O'Gara, and
Sauer, the latter of Cold Spring,
tied for third place with seven
points apiece.
The locals early took a lead
which they held during the first
quarter to be on top that canto
with a score of 9 to 6 and through
out the second quarter they held
a sizable lead. Soon the long trip
began to tell on them and the fact
tina tthey have not been practicing
so strenuously told too, and Cold
Spring swung into an offensive
attack that cached them 81 points
in the second canto. A lead was
built up which the locals never
overcame. At halftime the score
stood IT to 16 in favor Of the Brew
ers. The third period marked the
letdown in the contest with each
playing a defensive game laying
low awaiting their shots. Cold
Spring managed eight points, Sank
Centre four. Taking their second
quarter of the game to split with
the Brewers on scoring decision by
quarters the locals took ten points
in the final canto to close a WELL
defined lead. The Brewers garnered
only four points for a final of 80
to 30.
1t is reported that the locals had
difficulty connecting. Working the
ball in for good shots the boys just
couldn't make them. After their
first sustained drive organization
broke and they never completely
recovered enough to pull the win
out of the fire.

Col. Knox Attacked
Govt. Extravaganza
Completed 5,OOO-Niile Campaign Trip
February nth at Phoenix,
Arizona

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb ia 5000
mile campaign against government
extravagances was completed here
today wnen Colonel Frank Knox
Joined Mrs. Knox for vacation on
a ranch in western Arizona.
Col. Knox, publisher of the Chica-
go daily News, and prominently
mentioned as a Republican Presi-
dental possibility, said that he
would do no work for at least a
week, spending his time visiting
with Mrs. knox and resting. An
expert horseman-he got his train
ing in the kougn Riders under Col.
Theodore Roosevelt-he also plans
to spend considerable time in the
saddle, exploring trails in this
vicinity.
Col. Knox is no stranger to
Arizona and the West. As a mem
Der of the board of Indian Com
missioners Tor twenty-five years
he has visited every Indian Reser
walton Of the West in carrying out
the duties Of that non-salaried post.
Eefore he returns to Chicago,
about the middle of March, he ex-
poets to plot out another speaking
tour for the spring, and write some
Of the addresses.
Col. Knoxs. arrival in Wicken-
burg marked the end of 5,OO0-mile
speaking trip which began Feb. 4
in Waukegan, ILL.,, and took him to
Cincinnati, Philadelphia, New York,
Manchester, and Boston. Enroute
he delivered thirteen talks in nine
cities on a tour which carried him
across seven states.
He spoke in Waukegan, Vincen-
mes, Ind, Cincinnati, O., Beaver
Falls, Pa, Jersey City. N. j., New
York City, Philadelphia, Manches-
ter, N. H., and Boston.
His speeches were marked by
vigorous opposition to the policies
of the New Deal, to government ex-
travagances and to present trends
toward discrediting the Constitu-
ton. A balanced budget, lowered
taxes, and more interest in national
government by the general public
were strongly advocated.
In an address in New York City
on the evening of Feb. 8-a talk
that was broadcast nationwide
he summed up his ideas in a six
point program.
Balance the budget" he said.
"Cut the cost of government not by
% per cent as the President once
promised to do, but cut it to the
bone. Establish and maintain a
currency of intrinsic worth, which
means returning to an American
dollar which will ring true on the
market counters of the world.
Quit these everlasting investiga-
lions into private enterprise. If
there are crooked business men,
haul them out of the ranks of bus
mess and punish them, according to
law. But stop these excursions
which for the most part are de-
signed to intimidate rather than
inform.
Restore private enterprise to its
rightful owners. Regulate bus
mess so that it conducts itself in
the best interests of all the people,
and that means there must be no
catering to the within of any one
man, or minority group, in or out
of politics"

be taken:
1. Make a termination test on
seed at once. Do not use any seed
testing less than 70 to 80 per cent
unless as a last resort.
2. Try to get seed which weighs
As to so pounds per bushel or bet
ter. Fan and grade closely using
only the heaviest possible for seed.
3. If wheat on the farm is found
to be too light in weight and too
low in termination, buy heavier
seed if possible, or a recommended
variety such as Thatcher, Ceres,
Marquis, Mindum, Kubanka.
4. Treat the grain to be used for
seed with New Improved Ceresan,
following closely, directions by the
manufacturers.
There still is a very limited sup
ply of Thatcher rust resistant
wheat available in the county and
it is possible that a few producers
can still be assisted in locating a
supply of this new wheat.

Sank Centre q; Osalxis 10

Jumping the gun ana taking an
early lead, never relinquished,
Sank Centre high school basketball
quints took a pair Of wins from
Osakis on Friday evening at the
latter's gym. The seconds were out
in front with a % to 10 score, and
the firsts bested them with a q to
10 margin.
The seconds put up a scrapping
contest paving the way for the
first string victory. Osakis lead at
the end of the first canto to 3,
but the locals eased out in front at
half time with an to 7 margin.
The third quarter found them
stepping out to take an advantage
of IA to 9. With Peglow and Ethun
strong on the scoring. 10 and
points respectively, the locals won
% to 10.
Holding the Osakis quint to a
zero rating on field goals during
the first half, the first stringers
poured it on to build up a sizeable
lead of to l at the first quarter,
and further enhanced their posi-
ton at half time with II to mar
gin. The third quarter saw Osakis'
first field goal and they counted
two points during that period while
Sank Centre ran up the score to
Is. From IS they trotted on up to
81 where the final whistle found
Osakis had oozed out only three
points for final of 10 counters.
There was no Osakis man that
scored over two points. Two of
them got field goal apiece, and
one got two free throws. Arvig and
Decree tied for local scoring hon
ors with ten points apiece, and De-
exhibited all season. Captain KEEL
dahl was hampered greatly by
three technicals slapped on him
during the course of the game.
Decree was the mainstay Of the
first quarter attack. In fact he
eased in all five Of the first canto
points. Taking two field goals, a
one hand push shot and a shot from
the foul line, he also was given a
gift shot for the fifth point. Zim-
norman took the lone marker for
the OSaRlS laQS. helQdnl came OUT
to take his only goal, Arvig follow
ed him up with one goal and two
free throws, Decree got another
free throw to close the first half
books at u points for Sank Cen
ire. Fezler, Zimmerman and Blume
each took a free shot for the five
counters Osakis enjoyed during the
first half.
Clark got the first Osakis goal,
and Decree, Arvig, and Walker
swarmed in to score one each just
for fun. And the third canto stood
at Is to Z in favor of the locals.
Arvig stood sleeping under the
basket and the ball tipped to him
found the hoop for the opening
fourth quarter score. Then he took
one more before the game halted
progress. Decree got in another
one, and Reble, subbing for De-
Gree, got in a goal. Collins closed
the scoring of the evening with the
second and last Osakis goal.

districts. If this land was purch-
ased at the present time, the pur-
chase price would be low and title
would rest in the Federal Govern
ment until such time as consump-
ton overtakes production and it
could then be resold and put back
into productive use.
This plan should be further sup
plemented by limiting the land that
one person could farm to a sec
ton. This in itself would take out
of production considerable margin
al land and it would do away with
stock raising and grain-farming
on a big scale. Campbell, in Mon
tana, raises a tremendous amount
Of wheat with very little man pow
err. The food consumption of his
help is much less per acre than it
would be on a small farm operated
by a farmer and his family. These
big farms materially increase our
surplus and work a decided hard
ship against the average family.
This plan is simple and so plan
ned so that no new bureau would
have to be founded to handle the
project. The distribution Of federal
money from the sale of this acre
age would be widely scattered. It
would undoubtedly help adjust a
very bad condition until we become
sufficiently wise politically to so
regulate our affairs that the con-
sumner will be in an economic pos
ition so that his food wants can be
supplied"
Mr.. Knutson in his article states
that Forestry people have told him
that in the course of time these
lands could be made TO become a
dependable source for a large part
of our lumber needs.
In commenting on this plan, B. F.
Dubois, postmaster, stated: This
farm relief plan is built on the as
sumption that we are raising more
farm produce than the market Is
able to consume. OF course, it is
realized that the so-called surplus
would melt rapidly were the con-
sumner In a position to supply his
actual needs. 1t is further realized
that 1t is rather useless for the
branch Of the govern
ment to pass relief bills for agri-
culture as long as the Supreme
Court views agriculture as only a
local problem. The usurpation of
power by the Court Is making re-
lief legislation very difficult. Pre-
sumably, portion Of this plan at
least would be unconstitutional"

Decision of U. S.
Supreme Court Solid
Disposition of Power Right OF
Congress To Decide,
Justices Rule

washington, Feb. 1.-THE gov
eminent won a major victory in
the Supreme Court today when the
nine justices held the IVA (Ten-
nessee Valley Authority could dis
pose Of surplus power manufacture
ed at Wilson dam at Muscle
Shoals.
Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes
handed down the detailed ruling
before a crowd of prominent at
torneys and members of congress
at noon.
Only power from Wilson dam
had been sold by the IVA.
The justices held that federal
disposition of power was a ques-
ton for congress to answer, not the
courts.
The court upheld the right of the
government to dispose of all sur
plus power made at dams intended
to promote navigation or air ma
tional defense.
The government owned the pro-
perty, said Justice Hughes, and
there was nothing in the Constitu-
ton to limit the governments dis
position of the power. .
In a succession of findings
Hughes ruled:
1. The government had the
power to build Wilson dam I'M
der it's war powers and it's
power to aid navigation.
2. Power produced at such
dams may be sold by the gov
eminent.
3. Transmission lines to a
fair market for the power so
developed are entirely consti-
tutional.
In the case decided today, con-
stitutionality of the legislation was
assailed by Ia preferred stockhold-
ers of the Alabama Power Com
pany. They won their suit in the
federal District Court for Northern
Alabama but lost in the Appeals
Court at New Orleans.
Under the law, the government
sought to establish "yardstick" to
measure production cost of electric
power and thus determine whether
consumers were being overcharged
by private utilities.
The District Court had annulled
a contract whereby the Alabama
Power Company agreed to sell
transmission lines to IVA and to
an interchange of power.
Arguing the case before the Su-
preme Court, Solicitor General
Stanley F. Reed said the power was
produced as an incident to aiding
navigation.
IF the primary purpose of the
act was to aid navigation it is val
i'd" he said. IF the primary pur-
pose was to develop and sell pow
er it would be invalid"
The project was started "in good
faith" to assist navigation, he as
serted, and "the electricity is by
product which is sold to save the
government and the entire country
the loss Of wasted power"
Attorneys for the stockholders
Forney Johnson, Of Birmingham,
and Beck, contended the company
would "be completely destroyed as
result of IVA activities.
