A group Of well-meaning Wash
ingtonians who evidently consider
music to be q pain in the neck,
stepped into several elementary
schools the other day and at once
placed their respective fingers
upon the cause of the high cost
of education in this city. A mem
ber of the school committee of
the Board of Trade is reported to
have said: There is too much
money spent on extra-curricular
activities such as dancing, SWIM
ming, music and whatnot."
Boards of trade are usually
given to comparing the advan-
tages possessed by their own COM
munities over those of other cities.
Were these good citizens to make
even a hasty survey of the status
of music in schools in practically
all schools in the country with
the exception of a few cities on
the Atlantic Coast, they would
find that the funds allowed DR..
E. N. C. Barnes, director of music
in this city, are but drop in the
bucket as compared with the great
majority of cities.
No wonder the National Sym.
phony Orchestra Association finds
it hard work to raise sufficient suS-
tanning funds. Ten times as much
teaching time is probably spent in
the schools on algebra and geome-
try as is spent on music. Are these
forms of mathematics used after
school years by as great a percent
age of people as take an active in
tereSt in music? Even a board of
trade might be benefited by music
in the schools if such instruction
were only to train future mem
berS to be able to sing those songs
that are used at luncheonS to pep
up the meetings.

WABASSO GAME

PROTEST OF UMPIRES
DECISION ALLOWED;
DELHI COMING

The Redwood Falls -Wabasso
game played here Sunday was
declared to have resulted in a tie
and was ordered played off here
August / by Clark Sponaugle,
president of the Double R league,
after Redwood Falls had protest
ed ruling by umpire Erwin
Buzz" Smith of Redwood Falls
which cost the locals run.
The argument resulted when
Whiting stole third during a pitch
and came home on passed ball.
He was sent back to third, al
though according to Everett Rob-
erts, Redwood Falls manager,
there is no rule against scoring
from any base on a passed ball
which does not strike an obstruc-
ton, the rules of baseball varying
in this respect from softban rules.
The score of the game was
declared a tie, Noting having
scored Wabasso's only run in the
sixth. Both pitchers were very
effective, allowing but four hits
each while Steele famed 13 and
Schultz of Wabasso whitfield 10.

Increased Costs and
Protests May Result
in No Surplus Foods

A possibility that the distribu-
ton of surplus commodities may
be permanently suspended in
Redwood county was revealed
this week by relief officials.
The Works Progress Admins
tration has informed the Welfare
office that effective August l the
county must take over surplus
commodity distribution in its en-
tirety.
Heretofore the government has
paid the salary of Miss Beth
Barnes, commodities clerk, but
under the new set-up that ex-
pense must be borne by the coun-
ty. The county has always paid
express and trucking expenses in
the distribution of commodities
which are furnished by the fed
eral government.
Relief officials intimated that
the county might dispense with
the distribution if complaints
which originated with the Work.

Barley for Mailing
Requires Much Care,
Elevator Men Learn

The importance of care in har-
vesting and threshing barley so
that it will comply with mailing
grade requirements and command
higher price on the market, was
stressed by R. L. Remund of Min
neapolis at the Redwood Falls
Farmers Elevator stockholders
meeting Friday evening.
Many farmers cut their barley
too soon to produce good mailing
barley, he said, adding that it not
only produces less grain but con-
tains a greater percentage of thin
kernels which do not germinate
as readily in the mailing process
and do not contain sufficient
starch.
If cut at the proper time and
well shocked and capped, barley
should be thresh out as high
grade barley, with proper care in
threshing. He warned against
mechanical defects IN the separa-
tor, improper setting and adjust
ing OF the machine and threshing
while the grain is damp since ker-
nels that are skinned and broken
in the process grade against the
grain.
G. E. Phillips was reelected
president, A. M. Dennistoun, vice
president and G. E. Goodyear,
treasurer. Directors reelected
include John Anderson, S. L

Legislature Likely "
to Adjourn Tonight
LOWER PROPERTY TAX
RATE BELIEVED
POSSIBLE

Unless some unforeseen COM
plication arises, the legislature is
expected to declare a truce in its
five and one-half month argu-
ment, pass compromise bills
worked out in conference COM
mittees and adjourn today.
The will to reach a settlement
and get back to their farms, and
business and professional fields,
long neglected, has been upper
most all week and the last of con-
troversial measures on which the
liberal house and the conservative
senate have been at odds were
practically ironed out Wednesday.
Reports from the capitol indi-
cate that imposing of heavier
taxes on other sources to meet the
states needs may mean a reduc-
ton in the state tax rate on pro-
perty to the lowest figure in eight
years. A five mill rate is believed
possible on homes and farms oc-
cupied by their owners while
owners of property not included
in homestead exemption legisla-
ton will pay about $40 per 81, 600
valuation, a reduction of $2.45.
Revenues from new tax bills
plus increased returns from old
sources are expected to total
$29, 600, 900 next year and $28,-
000, 900 the following year when
rates in some of the new bills are
lower.

Evacuation of
Colony Waits
COUNTY GETTING RENT
UNTIL NEW HOMES
ARE FOUND

1t appears that present resi-
dents of the county home colony
west of town will be there indie
finitely in spite of orders by the
county commissioners that they
leave July /.
When residents there found ii
impossible to find homes by the
specified time, the Workers Alli-
ance appealed to L. P. thinner
man, state relief administrator
who asked the commissioners to
allow them to remain as long as
they paid the So a month rent
which has been charged them
since May.
County relief officials say the
families must leave as soon as
homes are available, but do not
express much hope that they will
evacuate the place soon.
One of the houses in the six
home colony is now vacant, one
of the two families who lived in
it having moved to Montevideo
and the other to Belview. At pre-
sent there are five families there,
all of them paid up on their rent.
In February the commissioners
ordered all families out by April
! so that widows and unemp1oy-
ables could be housed in the cot
tages. When the time came a
wire to Governor Elmer A. Ben
son and other authorities brought
a state official here to investigate.
The commissioners agreed then
to let the families remain until
July l and each householder
agreed to be out by that time.

which he had apparently used as
living quarters. They found over
coats, hams, tools, and other art
icles listed as stolen by his vic
Tins but when they attempted to
arrest him he fed down an alley
and escaped.
Last Tuesday night Sheriff L.

wants Swenson for failing to pay
a $50 drunken driving fine and for
stealing tools from Roy Castle of
North Redwood, got tip that the
fugitive was hiding in the river
bottoms near Morton. He and
local police officer took up the
search there but failed to find
him.
Friday morning, acting on an
other tip that Swenson was in
Winthrop Sheriff Kise called
Winthrop police to arrest and
hold him. The officer telephoned
back that Swenson was locked up
in Jail there.
Kise went to get him but when
be and the policeman arrived they
found: :.Swensep: had broken out.
