Airport For
City Studied
COMMITTEE TO TAKE UP
NATTER; CHICAGO MAN
TALKS TO LIONS

The perennial airport question
bobbed up again at the meeting of
the Redwood Falls Lions club
Monday. noon at the golf course
and the president was authorized
to appoint a committee of three
to investigate new federal pro-
visions for such ports.
The committee, which has not
yet been named, will work with
Jack Robinson, local pilot, who
spoke on the matter at the club
meeting. The Civic and CONNER
&c association probably will work
with the Lions on the project if
it is found advisable to go for
ward with plans for a port.
Robinson discussed require
ments, for the field, which re-
quires leased tract of about 160
acres of which all but about 40
acres can be sowed to alfalfa.
Some revenue might also be OBJ
taired from hangar rentals and
sale of gas and oil after the field
is in operation.
Federal money is now avail
able, he said, for such equipment
as hangers and lights and after
the field is developed chances
should be good for obtaining air
mail service as a new line which
will make Marshall regular
stop, passes within a few miles of
Redwood Falls.
Andy c. Luscher of Chicago
was a guest of Parker D. Sanders
at the meeting and spoke briefly
on the financial situation. He is
in the investment barking bust
ness.
The east has in recent years
shown a great interest in the fin
ancial circumstances of the farm
ir.g sections, he said, realizing
that the market for manufactured
goods is directly affected by the
price of farm crops. The opposi-
ton to farm help legislation is no
longer so general and bitter, he
reported.
Biggest worry on business con-
ditions, he said, is that increased
expense of doing business, includ-
ing higher taxes, social security
and other costs, will eat up all
profits while there is some fear
that inflationary measures will
get out of control. In general, he
said, good years are anticipated
as far ahead as 1910 or 1912 The
good crop now being harvested is
an important factor in optimism
for the immediate future.

Bus Districts
Set by County
School Heads
NEW PLAN TO PREVENT
HAULING STUDENTS
LONG DISTANCES

AS part of a statewide move
ment to prevent unethical prac-
tees among high school districts
in Transporting students from far
outside their territories, superin-
tendents of Redwood county
schools met in Wabasso Monday
and divided the county into nine
districts from inside of which
each of the county's nine high
schools may transport students in
buses.
Redwood Falls, Lamberton, Wa
basso, Walnut Grove, Morgan,
Sanborn, Milroy, Belview and Del
hi have each been given district
all points of which are within a
reasonable distance from the
school. Arrangements have also
been made to set aside small por-
tons just inside county lines into
which buses from Morton, Echo,
Tracy, Springfield and Franklin
schools will run.
The districts have been made
as nearly comparable to the size
of the school as is geographically
possible, although routes already
established were not curtailed to
any great extent.
Reede Grey, superintendent of
Redwood Falls schools who at
tended, said it is the general
belief that rural school districts
will be very slow in co-operat-
ing with the high school aid plan.
The return to the home district is
tWO-thirdS of the transportation
cost and that not to exceed 81 per
month per pupil. The plan is not
compulsory and it is expected
that pupils already attending a
high school outside their trans
portatiOn district will continue at
the same school until graduation.
The districting plan was begun
because of the abuses practiced
by some schools in the state One
town with a population not as
large as that Of Redwood Falls
had over $50 graduating seniors
this year and transportation costs
there jumped from $4,000 to
$4,000 in four years.
c. D. Clipfell, county superin-
tendent Of schools, acted as secre-
tary at the meeting.

SCHEDULE

With Only four weeks remain
ing before they open tough nine
game schedule at New Ulm, can
didates for the Redwood Falls
High school football squad will be
called to practice, August 80, to
get in shape for the opener.
The fact that school opens a
week later than planned when
the schedule was arranged brings
the seasons first game, against a
strong traditional foe, on the first
Friday evening after the opening
day.
The schedule is two games
longer than the 1886 slate which
started as an eight game affair
ard was reduced to seven when
circumstances made it impossible
to play the Olivia game. New Ulm
and Sleepy Eye are both back as
opponents after a two year lapse
while Window is missing from
the slate, which includes seven
Little Ten conference foes, be-
sides Montevideo and Olivia.
Coach Ben Tom who has as
sisted with the linemen for two

For center, the coaches have

Smith, James Dwyer and George

season.
Tom Wolverton was a regular

OLD AGE PENSION PLAN PRESENTED ALASKA SENATE.
Brunelle Memorializes Against Ickes Proposal T.
 Walker Has Fish Bill

Petitions from five different sourc- es urging upon the Territorial Leg islature that 1t adopt system of old age pensions which would as sure pensions of not less than $40 per month to all persons in the Territory over 65 who have lived in the Territory at least 10 years were presented the Senate this afternoon.
 The petitions bearing a large num- Der of names came from the Alaska Native Brotherhood and residents of Ketchikan, Fairbanks, Sitka and Haines.
 President M. E. s. Brunelle dropped the first memorial in the Senate hopper today. His proposal asks the Legislature to protest to Congress against the reported recommenda- ton of Interior Secretary Harold L. Iokes that mineral lands be only subject to lease and not ownership.
 Permitting only leasing of min eral lands would retard mining de- velopment in the Territory, the me morial states, and would be an es- pecial barrier in Alaska where ef- fort is being made to encourage mining.
 Senator Norman R. Walker in- troduced a bill which would repeal that portion of the license tax law which levies a tax of one-tenth of cent a pound on purchases of fish over 100000 pounds. Request for such legislation was made by the AL aska Trollers' Cooperative Market ing Association on grounds that AL aska buyers cannot compete with buyers Outside under such a levy.
 After a brief session, the Senate adjourned until II o'clock tomor- row morning.
