Tale of wild automobile pursuit from Plank road to the fire station on East Main street was unfolded by John J Burke, 28, of 99 Dikeman street, a former amateur fighter, to Judge Theobald E Conway in City Court today.
 Burke reached a high peak of ex- citement as he related how he, his wife, and his mother Jaw, cut in and out side streets in an attempt to elude Freddie Butchick. 47. of Plank road who was close behind them and had a gun"
 The chase began. Burke said when at Butchik's invitation, they went to his Plank road house after having had beers together in a tav- ern. Burke said he and his wife and his mother-in-law went to the house about an hour after Butchick's in- vitation, while Butchick left early.
 When they reached there, Burke said, they saw two shadows" in the window, and his mother-in Jaw. who keeps company with Butchick, jumped to the conclusion and rush. ed in.
 She came out wildly excited Burke said, and Butchick was close behind her. Then the chase began and ended up in front of the fire house. into which he said he tried to drive to escape Butchick.

 The Tuesday evening class is par ticularly designed for beginners in discriminating the intelligent listen- ing, This evenings program will open with SaraSates "ziegeuner- weisen (Gypsy Airs) recorded by Jascha Heifetz and The London Symphony orchestra conducted by John Barbirolli

These experts have felt all along that no substantial, permanent in crease in trade to the Latin American nations could be expected until central banking institutions were established in the different countries. The Brazilian finance minister, Arthur de souza Costa, discussed plan for establishing such a bank in Brazil with Secretary Morgenthau couple of years ago. Last year President Roosevelt sug- gested that this country extend a $60,000,000 credit to- Brazil to make 1t possible, but Congress was cold to the idea.
 Now Brazil's financial position is better. Her gold reserve stands at better than $32, 100000 and she has recently been buying a good deal of gold in this country---using, incid- entally, a million pounds which had been sent to England for the pur- pose of buying warships.

 FARMERS MADE
 SPECIAL GUESTS
 Now he's going to make this an annual affair. He has invited the governor of Kansas and the whole Kansas congressional delegation to attend the Dec. 20 conference, to- gether with the heads of various farm organizations, and hopes that at least as many farmers will show up as came last year. There is no particular political aspect to 1t, and no set program is planned
 I'll tell them what's been go- ing on during this last session of Congress and what seems to be planned for the coming session." says Senator Capper
 "Then I'll ask them to tell me what they want and how they've been getting along. The idea is to let the farmer have chance to express himself and make known what he thinks ought to be done.
 "The conference won't make any formal recommendation unless someone gets up and moves some- thing-but out of 1t will come some ideas, certainly. It's an example of democracy functioning in a direct day.

OLD AGE PENSIONS

1t is estimated that there will be
an increase of $1.2OO,OOO,OOO in old
age benefit payments during the next
five years, and some of our big
statesmen claim to have discovered
that eventually the United States will
get on a pay-as-you-go system of old
age benefits.
Within the next two and half
years widows, orphans and aged per-
sons will be included in benefit pay
ments according to authentic opin-
ions held in Washington. But when
you ask If it will be the Townsend
plan the answer is sure to be nc" ."
The idea is to have legislation work
ed out that will conform to the So

definite plans that furnish any cer-
tainty that these popular visions wils

GRANITE FALLS TAKES
MONTE'S PLACE; NEW
OPPONENT SOUGHT

Redwood Falls High schools
football schedule may be short
ened to eight games next year
unless a team to replace Spring
field for an Armistice day en-
counter can be scheduled.
Springfield has asked to be re-
leased from any arrangements for
future football games, feeling that
the difference in the size OF the
schools makes Redwood gener-
ally too tough a foe for the
Fielders. Springfield dropped
several of its stronger opponents
this season, scheduling instead
such smaller schools as Sherburn,
Truman and Madelia.
Redwood Falls and Springfield
have met periodically on the
gridiron since 1905, playing II
games in all. Redwood has won
II, three have been ties aud the
Fielders have had two victories,
in 1905 and 1887.
Scheduling of a new team
would bring two strangers to the
1910 schedule as Granite Falls is
slated to play the Cardinals for
the first time since 1911. The
Yellow Medicine squad replaces
Montevideo, regular opponent
until this season when Monte
withdrew and a second game with
Tracy was booked to fill out the
slate.
Athletic relations existed be-
tween Redwood and Granite from
1901 to 1911, five games resulting
in four Redwood wins and one
triumph for Granite.
Otherwise the 1910 schedule is
much like this year:
September 13-New Ulm here
September 20-Olivia here
September 27-Tracy there
October 4-KutchinsOn there
October 11-GlencOe there
October 1S-Granite Falls here
