SPORTS

May II Is an important date for
all the boys who took part in the
high school activities during the
1898 school year. The second in
a series of athletic banquets start
ted last year, the banquet this year
will be q bit novel in character.
Last year it was a football ban
quet held during November. This
year it is held at the last part of
the school year and will cover all
sports: football, basketball, base
ball, and track.
Few other schools have tried an
arrangement of this kind. This col
lection of all the sports will make
the affair much larger and much
more interesting. Let us hope that
the banquet will go over big.
Rain, wind, dust, cold, etc., and
all the other worsts of weather have
hampered the baseball and track
teams at their practice. One day
the wind is against the batters and
one day it is with them. Then the
dust Is so thick that a high fly
cannot be seen. And then it's toe
cold for the track members to dec.

But track coach Toftness has got
a few results and has sent the boys

times each night since he began

MAKING CLAIMS FOR
DEATH BENEFITS
BY Earnest A. AISLE

by Earnest "A. ASleSOn
To the families or estates of
Minnesota wage-earners who have
worked in commercial or indus
trial jobs after December 81, 1886
and who have died, the Federal
Government is now paying cash
benefits under the old+age insur-
ance system. These are single cash
payments by Government check.
The amount of these benefits
equal 31a percent of the total
wages which the deceased worker
earned between December 81, 1886
and the date of his death.
Who should claim the benefits
in such cases? If the wage-earnel
did not leave property or if for any
other reason the employees estate
will not be settled legally in the
local probate court then the claim
should be made by the surviving

When should Sudan grass be SOW

When should Sudan grass be SOW
ed?
Sudan grass is best sowed during
the last weeks in May, at 20 to 30
pounds per acre, the heavier rate
being preferable. Delaying the
seeding until late June will result
in decreased yields. Sudan is an
excellent grass to supplement other
pastures during July and August.
It's advantages are many: It will
produce more forage during those
months than any other crop, is
palatable to all classes of livestock,
produces good sod that stands up
well under grazing, and recuperates
rapidly after rainfall. Under fav-
orable conditions with plenty Of
moisture, it will carry two cows
per acre during the 2-month per-
