EVERYONE ELSE HAS BEEN SYM

= pathizng with Sanborn High schools bask-
..,setball team for not winning a game in its
initial season. May we add a word as one
:. well qualified on this subject. AS senior
= the writer was the center, a very bad center,
: on the first basketball team ever to repre-
sent Freedom High school. There were IL
boys in high school, seven of them eligible
for the squad and two not out for the sport.
$50 our position was cinched How well We
recall that the board bought us jerseys but
the shoes were our own and the home econ
omics girls made our trunks, every pair of
which proved too small before that big first
game was over. Perhaps we won game
but we recall no such an event SO we prob
ably didn't. We were ahead once for a
quarter Tomorrow the team representing
Freedom High is sub-district winner, hot
after district title. 1t has been there at
least once before since that 1924 outfit. San
born'S day is coming and members of this
years squad will look back on the 1889 sea-
son with more pleasure than if they had won
half their struggles.
II ENTHUSIASM FOR THE EXEMPT
ling of small employers from unemployment
INSURANCE taxes dWindles as the legislature
talks of a compromise, somewhere between
1.-The eight covered by federal law and the
zone or more" covered under the state law.
Trouble is the employer of five thinks he at
six feels the exemption should not stop at
LESS than six. There is no compromise fair
ito all, and certainly none that can be made
without considerable political heat
81 The only fair way is to protect all work
gers but to offer greatly reduced scale of
Iassessments for the employer with good
.record for offering steady employment Such
va scale is provided for in the law but it
is so slow in becoming effective that some
ba how
Il fits are dealt. a.
>. TIME MARCHES ON: REMEMBER
when farmers were asked to cut or at least
thin out groves where they caused snow to
drift over highways? Trouble, was we built
:, the roads too close to the trees. Now the
state departments of conservation and high
ways are thinking of leasing strips of land
$50 feet back and planting trees sna he9e
rows to replace snow fences
CONTRARY TO COMMON BELIEF,
the Minnesota Leader, mouthpiece of the
last administration, is still being published.
Gone however, are those ads from contract
ors and material men which it was "prud-
ent' to take in the Benson heydey.
AN ARMY TANK WITH A MACHINE
gun barking would create quite a sensation
coming up the road but drunken driver
travels faster and can deal as much destruc-
ton. And it's only once in while anyone
> gets excited about him.
= A STATE INSPECTOR OF SOME
thing or other in town the other day said it
was IA years since he had been in Redwood
Falls Gosh, were the Farmer-Laborites in
that long?
IF YOU THINK wcmEN,s STYLES
Z don't change often and more radically than
: mems, how long has it been since you saw a
man in knee pants?
