The Askov team is no set-up for
any team, having made recent con-
quest of the fast Sandstone Hawks.
The boys here are all former high
school stars and really know how to
handle the ball; besides there will
possibly be some additions to their
ranks to strengthen the weaker spots.
There will be plenty of room in the
large hall so the local boys invite and
urge all to come out and give them
support in this undertaking and to get
amply repaid in entertainment for
their attendance.

WATER ABSORPTION
is FACTOR OF FLOUR
YIELD IN BRE A D

In answer to an inquiry from H. H.
Meixner of Sturgeon Lake, in regards
to the contents of a sack of flour in
regards to bread yields, the following
letter was written by c. H. Bailey,
professor of Agricultural Biochem-
istry:
Your letter of January IS, ad-
dressed to the Home Economics De-
partment, University of Minnesota,
has been handed to me. In this let
ter you inquire concerning the mat
ter of the yield of bread from a sack
of flour.
"In a general way the weight of
bread that can be produced from a
given quantity of flour is determined
largely by the socalled water absOrp-
tion of the flour; that is, the amount
of water required to make a dough
of uniform consistency. The absorb
ton, in turn, is influenced by the
water content of the flour; in other
words the lower the moisture content
the more water it will absorb, other
things being equal; and also by the
gluten, or protein content of the flour.
In the latter instance, the more gluten
present, the more water the flour
will generally absorb. Both of these
characteristics, namely water content
and gluten content ARE more or less
Independent from the matter of the
flour grade, as the Latter is indicated
by the ash content Accordingly, we
would conclude that so-called inferior
or low grade flour might make either
more or less bread than the superior
or higher grade flour, depending
largely upon the other two factors OF
quality indicated above.

KERRICK WINS TWO
MORE B. B. GAMES

In battle for baskets, the Kerrick
basketball quint defeated Sandstone
on the Moose Lake floor Friday night
by score of &C to As. Neither team
made a great attempt at guar ding,
as is indicated by the score. In the
first quarter, Kerrick got off to a
lead of 10 to 5, which Sandstone was
unable to overcome. In the second
half. however, both teams played on
fairly even terms.
On the Wednesday just previous, the
Willow River five had come to Ker

Kerricks total to nine for the season.
On Friday of this week the boys will

MORE FEDERAL
ROAD MONEY
Over Five Million Dollars
Will be Allotted State if
Matched.
Good Roads Association Ad-
vOcateS Taking Advan-
tage of Offer.

If Minnesota can meet matching re-
quirements there will be over five
and one-half million dollars from the
federal government for use on high
ways during the fiscal year 1898 be-
ginning July 1, 1887. This was the
substance of statement made public
this week by the Minnesota Good
Roads Association of st. Paul. OF this
amount $4,194,214 must be matched
dollar for dollar under regulations of
the United States Bureau of Public
Roads.
The remaining S1,342,S09 represents
an outright grant for elimination OF
grade crossings at railroad and high
way intersections which carries with it
the obligations that the state acquire
all necessary right-ofway and provide
all preliminary engineering and sup
ervision-
The claim being made that Mime
sofa is not required to match fed
eral aid funds is untrue. While the
Cartwright act of 1886 con-
tanned the provision that the match
ing clause covering 1885 ado, atiOns
might be waived in certain cases when
Minnesota made such a request it was
denied
The association statement points
out further that due to decrease
in revenues from motor vehicle Ii
cense fees enacted in 1888 and the
addition of $500 additional miles to
the state trunk system in the same
year there are not sufficient funds
to secure these federal funds which
are allotted in a like amount for the
fiscal year 1889 as we'll.
Construction on the state highways
provided 36,905 man-jobs in 1886 for
an average of 200 hours per man.
for 1S,450 men or 400 hundred hours
which more closely apprOXimates the
peak construction season.
Failure to continue this construc-
ton work will mean that this number
Der of men will have to be absorbed
by industry or agriculture or revert
to relief.
The statement concludes by calling
attention to the fact that Minnesota
pays nearly four million d)llars di-
rectly to the federal government
through the federal gasoline tax. In
failing to avail itself of these funds
it will mean that the amount allotted
to Minnesota will be re-distributed
among those states which meet fed
federal requirements.
The Minnesota Good Roads Associa-
ton advocates an adequate road build
ing program that will stimulate re-
tail trade, create employment and
points to the statement of the United
States Bureau of Public Roads that
every 500 spent in road building re-
suits in S315 in wages and trade.

HUNTERS URGED TO
FILE GAME REPORTS

In statement made last week, A.
c. Hanson, director of the division of
game and fish, again urged hunters
to cooperate with the division by send
ing in reports of game taken i'm 1896.
To date, only small per- enta re
of spOrtsmen have returned their Ii
cense reports.
With about 225,OOO Resident Small
Game Hunting licenses sold and TO-
600 Big Game licenses" Mr.. Hanson
said, lit is vital to try to secure as
nearly as possible an accurate esti-
mate of how much game was taken
in 1886.
"The cooperation of sportsmen in
this matter will mean much in the
conservation of our wild lie re-
sources"

STATE DROPS
ASKOV ROAD
Maintenance Engin eer
Gives Status of Old No.
% Highway.
Letter to ASkOy Man Places
Maintenance Responsible
ity on Township.

In a letter, answering an inquiry
to the State Highway Department by
Supt. Otto G. Hoiberg of Askov, w. T.
ROsenwald, maintenance engineer of
the department states that the main
tenance of the road leading north
from Askov-old No. 23-is now under
the jurisdiction of the townships
through which it passes
Since the road was taken over by
by the state as a temporary trunk
highway some three or four years ago,
it has been maintained and snow
plOwed, but since the completion of
the new No. % highway running
northeast from Askov through Bruno,
Kerrick, Duquette and Nickerson, it
has reverted back to the townships.
Mr.. ROsenwald admits in his letter
to Supt. Hoiberg that TIE road was
previously state aid road, but since
its requirement by the state, Pine
county has revised it's state aid road
system and at that time the road be-
came just a township road, and as
such must be maintained by the town.
ships.
A Feeder Road.
Tie road which leads three miles
straight north from Askov before it
angles eastward, is a real feeder road
to the village and when it is blocked
with snow as it is at the present
time, a large portion of the north and
northwest section of this trade dis
trict is snOwbound in so far as auto
mobiles are concerned unless the resi-
dents wish to go by way of Rutledge
which means a distance of from Is
to 20 miles to get to Askov, VIXEN
in the first place they live but about
five or six miles and some of them
only three or four.
Not only are residents prevented
from getting to the village, but the
mail carriers and school bus drivers
are also hindered from making their
complete schedule.
Some of tie residents have reported
that the road is plowed from Rutledge
to the three-mile corner, but the trail
there ends in the snow bank. Great
appreciation would result, it has been
predicted, if some method were found
whereby the road could be kept open.
There are several residents east of
the three-mile corner, who are like
wise snOwbOund and that also is on
one of the bus routes.

LUNDEEN WOULD
INCREASE COURT
Bill Presented Last Session by Min.
neSOta Senator Is i'm Line With
Presidents Message.

Immediately upon the conclusion of
House and Senate Friday, February 5,
Senator Ernest Lundeen of Minnesota
re-introduced the bill he sponsored
last Congress calling for an increase
in the membership of the Supreme
Court by two, making total member
ship of eleven, with eight constitut-
ing quorum.
In filing his bill, Senator Lundeen
stated:
I'VE have had the present member
ship of nine since 1887, exactly one
hundred years. Surely in that time
the business of the Supreme Court
has increased to such an extent as to
warrant the appointment of two addi-
tional judges. AS far back as 1868
a membership of ten was put into
effect, but we reverted back to the
old membership of nine. 1t is time
to make change now"
In Line With Presidents Message.
MY rtposal," Senator Lundeen
stated, lis in line with the Presidents
request for an increase of not more
than six judges. l introduced this
same measure last Congress, and in
tend to go before the Senate Judiciary
and urge it's passage. The
addition of two judges appears to be
sufficient for the present. There is
nothing to prevent Congress from in
creasing the membership of the court
again when circumstances warrant

SECURITY
is CLARIFIED
Regional Director Tells About Method
of Making Payments of
the Taxes.

To clarity all mysteries surround
ing compliance with the old-age bene-
fit system under the Social Security
Act, the regional director of the Social
Security Board sends the following
explanations:
"All tax payments and wage deduc-
tions in connection with the old-age
benefit system under the Social Sc
curity Act should be sent to the Blu
reau of Internal Revenue and should
be mailed to the office of the Bureau
nearest the business address of the
employer. The Minnesota offices are
located at Saint Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth The office of the collector
for the state is in Saint Paul.
'All remittances should be made
payable to the Collector of Internal
Revenue and not to any individual
nor to the Social Security board.
These taxes and wage deductions

fore the last day of the succeeding
month. In other words, the taxes for
January must be paid on or before
the last day of February; the taxes
for February are payable on or before
the last day of March, and so on.
"All necessary tax forms can be
secured from tire offices of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue. All questions
regarding the ta> es should be directed
to the offices of that bureau and not
to the Social Security board.
"In making the monthly tax re-
turns, it is not required that the en-
ployer give the benefit account num-
Der of each of his employees. At
present it is not necessary for the
employer to give his own identifica-
tion number These employer num-
bers have not yet been assigned, but
will be issued later.
Such detailed information will be
required by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue in information returns the
first of which will cover a six-months'
period and will be called for imme-
diately after June 30, 1887.

guished clearly from the taxes Incl
