FRANKLIN ROUTED:
RABBITS in EXTRA
Time FINALS BOUT
RECEIPTS WELL ABOVE
LAST YEAR; FANS
WELL REPAID

Teams of Gaylord and Echo
cleared sub-district barriers in the
high school basketball chase last
weekend, the first of three SEES
sions of court activity here which
will select regional champion
March Is.
The event was highly success
full, particularly from an attend
ance standpoint and was marked
with surprises which well repaid
fans for their interest, although
the winning teams were both
among the pre-tourney favorites.
Greatest surprise was the per-
Torrance of the Wabasso team
which, after mediocre season,
came through to spill Morgan and
then almost upset the Echo team
to which it was doped to lose by
wide margin. Delhi also outdid
its record and gave its fans rea-
son to be proud when it forced
Morgan into an overtime session
before elimination.
The list of surprises must also
include the trouble caused Gay
lord in the game between defend
irg champions by stubborn Nor
ton five that released its laurels
grudgingly and the heights to
which that same Gaylord team
rose when faced with Franklin's
sharpshooters in the finals.
Sub-district receipts last year
were $3.50, figure which was al
ready beaten Tuesday with two
schools yet to report. With $6O7
in, j. j. Salzwedei, principal of
Redwood Falls High, school, pre-
dicted last years mark would be
beaten by about $100 when the
returns are complete. Sales at the
door were $403 in 1888 and S5O5
this year.
Weather conditions were much
the same. Last year bad weather
reduced the crowd on the final
night, this year Friday evenings
crowd was smaller than might
have been expected, because of
the weather.

available. We must not force sale
OF this years crop and thus play
into hands of spectators who
would then reap real benefits from
a control program by buying this

Offering it for sale during the con-
troll period. Attitude of farmers to-

from the billion-pound 1889 crop had
already resulted in much lower
prices than for the past several
years.
"The average price for the first
six weeks of sales this year was ap-
proximately 14.5 cents a pound, as
contrasted with 222 cents a pound
for the 1888 crop. The 1889 crop of
one billion pounds compares with
a consumption level of between $50
and 800 million pounds.
"In . lr efforts to be of assistance
in this situation, we have sought the
advice of farmers, bankers, mer-
chants and business men throughout
the flue-c cured belt. These men have
been unanimous in the view that it
would be unsound business for the
government to attempt to support
prices unless farmers cooperate to
regulate the quantity of tobacco mar
keted.
''In the referendum to be held on
the question of marketing quotas,
farmers will, in effect, decide the
acreage of tobacco that will be mar
keted in 1910. This decision will have
an important effect on the plans for
marketing the remainder of the 1899

Nice for the Japs.

Hence that RuSSO-JapaneSe truce.
The milxado probably can lick
Chang if he hasn't any Occidental
hackers.
Well, Russia at least temporarily IS
out of the picture. Britain and France
have their hands full in Europe. 1t
looks like quick work for the ,Japs
in China, and if they win, out and
out-goodby Occidentals in that part
of ASIA
This includes Americans. The Japs
have been rather nice to Americans
to date, but it's cinch that they
won't be as soon as they can afford
to be otherwise. Now, how will Uncle
Sam like it to have his Chinese rights
disregarded and to have his nationals
slapped around by the Japanese, as
Britons' rights and nationals have
been treated lately.
Maybe he'll get sore about it and
attend to Japan, but he'll have to do
it single-handed, with all the rest
of the Occident eliminated.
It's denied from Berlin that Ger
man Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrop fixed up that Russo-Jap-
anese truce, but if he did fix it up il
was mighty slick diplomacy OBJ
viously designed SO to preoccupy I'm
Gle Sam in the Orient that he cant
spare any time to chip into the Eu-
rOpean muss to Hitler's disadvantage
It's difficult not to suspect hlm-o1
not to suspect that that Russo-Jap-
anese truce isn't a good deal more
