MIGHTY MIDGET
 IN LINE
Roy Johnson, 5 Foot Z, Gets Cheers from Ala
 bdma Grid Fans
Ap FEATURE SERVICE

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Oct. 22.-A midget marvel may grab some of the headlines from Alabama's vet eran football backs this year
 He's little Roy Johnson, 5-foot- g, 134-pound sophomore left half back.
 Roy is perhaps the smallest player on any major college team in the country-he wasn't even big enough to be accepted in the university's RO.TC. unit.
 But he can go with the pigskin.
 Fans have already taken the mighty mite to their hearts. In Alabama's opening game specta- tors set up a chant We want Johnson" until Coach Frank Thom- as put him in the contest. He only played a few minutes but he passed twice, once for l9 and again fo. 20 yards, and ran back punt IS yards.
 He is so small and Alabama has so many other larger and capable veterans that Roy likely won't start a game or play very long. Thomas will use him as spot" player
 Roy was so little that he was almost lost among Alabamas fine freshman players last season and it wasn't until the drills last spring that Roy convinced the 'Bama coaches he could pick up the yardage.
 Coach Thomas says: Hes the best football player per inch that have ever seen"
 So keep an eye on this midget marvel.

Trulal!ntY Is
 On Decline

ST. LOUIS, Oct. [ Opening of the nations public schools simulta- neously has launched the hockey season.
 Hockey is the popular prank of going swimming or fishing instead of to grade school. Warm fall days will tempt children to declare their own holidays.
 John B. Quinn, who for 35 years was responsible for getting St. Louis youngsters to classes, quotes some interesting figures on truancy:
 Boys don't like school much better than their dads did 40 years ago but the modern lad gets there 1912 more days each year.
 Girls play hockey oftener than at the turn of the century. About one seventh of the truants today are girls

$500 Allotted 10 Rlackzar QoH Ga~s4e Road

Todd county will receive $95,OOO.
Regular and special allotments to
Minnesota's 81 counties this year
totalled approximately $1,000, 900,
exceeding by $1000O0 the allotments
of 1910. The total of regular al
lotments to Stearns county is div,
ided this year into three classes:
$4,000 of gasoline tax revenues,
to be used on the County Aid or
Gas Tax road system;
$18,861 of gasoline tax revenues
allotted to State Aid roads under
the new 1871 law which provided
for transfer Of $4,000 Of county
gas tax money annually to the
State Aid road fund in replacement
Of revenues from the repealed Dunn
1-mill levy on real estate; and
$18,861 also allotted to State Aid
roads this year from 1-mill tax rev.
enues which the Allotment Board
estimated still will accrue from the
1910 tax, levied before the Dunn
law was repealed.
The increase in gas tax monies
was made possible by a combina-
ton of two factors: The restoration
of the 4-cent gas tax rate by the
last legislature, and the available
ity Of an unexpected balance re-
sulting from heavier gasoline con-
sumption during 1910 than was an
ticipated when last years allot-
ments were made.

tax revenues-not less than one
percent nor more than three per-
cent to any one county. This re-
suits in some slight net grain for
minimum counties and an equival-
ent decrease in maximum allot-
ments.
Special allotments for State Aid
Road improvements from one-mill
tax revenues, in addition to the
regular allotments listed above, are !:
Becker, $4,000; Blue Earth, $1,000;
Douglas, $500; and Washington,
$4,000.
Allotments for special purposes
from the State Aid Road share
of gas tax revenues were made to-:

Additional
Parking For
Saturday Eve.
School Fairgrounds
Secured-Lighted and
In Charge of Attendant

Mayor s. G. Schwrazbauer
has made arrangements for
additional parking space in the
city. Parking has become a
problem, and double and triple
parking, especially on Saturday
has become a necessity because
Of lack of parking facilities.
Attending a recent meeting
of the school board, the Mayor
asked permission to use the
school Fairgrounds for Satur-
day night parking, and the re-
quest was granted. Arrange
ments to have an attendant on
the grounds to supervise order
ly parking were made immed-
lately and lights were installed
on the grounds.
It is hoped by city officials
that motorists will use this
parking space, thus eliminating
as much as possible, double
parking. This will be a free
parking lot, and it will be sup
ervised by a special attendant
each Saturday night.
