Tourney Sidelights

Coach Claude Miller of Hutch
inson and j. j. Salzwedel, Red
wood Falls principal, were rival
coaches up in North Dakota few
years ago, Miller at Valley City
and Salzwedel at Cakes.
A New Ulm writer persists in
saying 1920 persons mobbed the
Redwood auditorium which is a
poor estimate of a crowd even for
a journalist, so called. Twenty
three hundred have watched
tourney games here, in various
stages of comfort depending upon
time of arrival. More will no
doubt squeeze in for Friday and
Saturday night bouts.

Hutchinson will send big dele
cation but stay-at-homes may
still enjoy the game. The Hutch
inson Leader, edited by Frank
Bargen, will have a leased wire to
the school auditorium there and
broadcast play by play account
from the court-Side. The Gazette
reported on the regional and state
tourney in the same manner five
years ago when the Cards reached
the seni-finals in the big show.

will avoid confusion by not using
that nickname for Hutchinson.

AVA largest single source of farm
cash income in 1888 with a total
of $1.430. 100000. This was only SIS
per cent less than the 1897 figure
of $1,530.000,O0O according to the
Milk Industry Foundation and was
$44O,0O0.OOO greater than the low
of 1888.
"All farm cash income dropped
1873 per cent, government reports
show. from $8.20S, OOO, 900 in 1887 to
$7.15O,000.000 in 1888, excluding
government payments" the state
ment said.
, These figures show the import
ance of milk as a mainstay of farm
purchasing power. They are par
ticularly impressive because milk

the year and sales of fluid milk

fund law.
Otherwise his day was compare
lively free of official appointments.
To correct an erroneous impress
sion formed earlier. the corpora

that kaufman's appointment AS
mayor is effective until June. 1910

ments to the council made by the
