ATWATER PASTOR SURPRISED.

The members of the Choral Union,
the joint chorus of Rev. Hoifjeld's
pastorate, rendered their director
and accompanist, pastor and Mrs.
Hoifjeld, a pleasant surprise on
Monday evening. Mrs. Hoifjeld had
gone to the school literary program
at the town hall that evening. She
was called for and taken home where
she and her husband were soon
greeted with "surprise" from the
large company headed by Rev. Le-
Wander. The honored members were
invited over to their church base
ment where very enjoyable evening
was spent. A toast was given by
Rev. LeVander, and a response by
Rev. Hoifjeld. 1925 was present

Was Wholly Justified.

Denouncing as false the charges
Of disloyalty made against the farm

assistant Secretary Of Agriculture
and representative Of the admins

in the Twin Cities, also added that
the National Nonpartisan League
convention held in St. Paul in Sep
TENDER was altogether right and JUS
tilted in the demands voiced by it's
resolutions.
zone hears some talk these days
about disloyalty Of farmers" said
Mr.. Vrooman just before he return
ed to Washington. "This talk comes
from the big city bankers and others
who know nothing about the farm
ers and their problems. The gov
eminent Of the United States is will
ing to risk its very life on the loyalty
of the farmers Of the Northwest.
"The farmers first duty in this
crisis is to make the land produce
as much food as possible. The most
patriotic thing he can do is to cult
vate the soil i1tensively. He is doing
that and doing it well.
FARMERS OVER SUBSCRIBED
BONDS.
ut would be a crime against the
country and it's cause for a farmer
to spend for Liberty bonds money
which he needs to increase the pro-
ductivity Of his farm. The farmers
didn't buy enough Liberty Bonds to
suit those critics who question the
farmers loyalty. But all the agri-
cultural states over-subscribed their
quotas of the bonds. The farmers
did not put all their money into
bonds. Instead, they wisely put it
into farm machinery and fertilizers
to increase their yields so that the
world may be fed.
I'LL informed persons again accuse
the farmers Of profiteering. They
say the farmers are making too much
money. This is not true. The time
has never been and is not now when
American farmers got too much for
their products.
INDICTMENTS PROFITS
UNPATRIOTIC.
Consumers have been paying too
much for farm products. Who got
unpatriotic profit Well, it wasn't
the farmer, anyway. I took some
pains to find out these things. I
found that when wheat sold for $40
bushel in the Chicago wheat pit,
the farmer who produced the wheat
was only getting $1.35 a bushel.
Who was the profteerf
|.The price Of wheat was fixed by
the food administration. That was
the first step. The farmers who met

basis we're altogether right and JUS
tilted in their demands.
There is a pernicious brood of
Tories, junkers and reactionaries IN
every city and every state in the
land" continued Mr.. Vroomau.
"They carry the black flag Of finan-
cial piracy and the yellow flag Of
economic treason. They are a men,
ace to the efficient, economical and
honorable carrying on Of this war.
INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY IS
URGED.
At every election from this time
on the liberals Of all political parties
should make common cause against
vested privileges, reaction and anti
social standpatism. In the name Of
our soldiers who are fighting abroad
I urge you to democratize your pol

and your children henceforth may
enjoy sovereign citizens right to

refute the charges made against the

FATAL ACCIDENT AT DONNELLY
Young Lady is Killed and Others In
iured When Car OverturnS.

One of the Oldest accidents con-
ceivable occurred last Saturday eve
ming, when an auto Carrying four
young people was wrecked near Don
nelly, and as result one young lady
was killed.
Those in the party were the Miss
es Ruth and Hazel Cosgrove, daugh-
tiers of Mrs. Geo. Cudrio, Of Morris,
and Ingvald Christensen and Arthur
Solseth, both living about eight miles
east of Morris. The young people
left Morris about nine o'clock in
tending to 60 to Herman to attend
a dance and when about two miles
from Donnelly, Christianson, who
was driving, asked Hazel to steer
while he put on his mittens. She
lost control Of the car, not being di-
rectly in front of the wheel, and the
car turned over throwing the occu-
pants onto the hard road. Ruth evil
IDENTIFY landed on her head, causing a
fracture at the base Of the skull and
did not regain consciousness before
passing away on Sunday. Hazel had
her nose and face badly bruised and
Christensen received a fractured
collar bone and his left shoulder was
injured. Solseth came out Of the
accident with only a bad shaking up.
Prof. Schwartz and Miss Mildred
Smith of Donnelly came along soon
after the accident occurred and brot
the injured people back to Morris.

u. S. LOANS ASKED .
TO help FARMERS
Monpartisan Head Tells Wilson Aid
Is Needed to Prevent Shortage
In Food.

10 svVV0ON ~ sVVOstS OssVU SSAXV
In Food.
To relieve serious situation4
among the farmers Of the West, brot
about by crop failures last fall, and
to insure bumper agricultural pro-
duction next year, A. c.. Townley,
head of the National Nonpartisan
league called on President Wilson
and Food Administrator Hoover last
week and laid before them plan
whereby the government could make
short time loans to farmers at a low
rate of interest. The details were
given out today on Mr.. Townley's
return from Washington, D. G.
Mr.. Townley told President VIII
son that in North Dakota and many
other Western states the farmers,
suffering from a short yield the year
before, borrowed money in order to
plant increased acreage to produce
food to help the Allies win the war.
The crop was failure, wheat only
averaging seven bushels to the acre
in North Dakota, while many other
sections Of the West had poor yields.
FEDERAL AID is IMPERATIVE.
"Some sort Of a. federal loan to
relieve the farmers is imperative if
the farmers are to keep their herds
and put in big crops next year," Mr..
Townley said. Farmers borrowed
heavily and were hard hit by the
crop failure. In face of this comes
the rising prices of feed. Many far
mers are being forced to sell their
live-stoc as they are financially un-
able to carry them over the winter
when feed is so high. True, there is
plenty of fodder, hay and rougbage
in parts Of Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois
and other states, but many farmers
have borrowed to their limit of cred
|it and face failure unless they get
government aid.
'ln some European countries the
governments pay a bonus to farmers
for raising food on arid lands. The
Northwestern farmers re-not ask
ing for any bonus. We merely ask
that special legislation be passed ia
permit federal funds to be loaned II
farmers for six, eight and ten month
periods under conditions that will
permit the farmer to stay on his land
and put in another big crop next
year. The Northwest is not alone il,
this situation. There is acute suf-
fering among the sugar growers OF
the South and the same day that
appeared at the White House Presi.

be liquidated. The government also
purchased $9,500,0O0 Of munition-
making machinery which it is renting
to Eastern manufacturers who have
large war orders. The food controll-
er has an appropriation of $152,000,-
900 at his disposal. 1t is proposed
to lend $1,000,000,OO0 to the rail-
roads so that they can buy more
equipment. In view Of these facts
I can see no reason why the govern
ment should not make loans to far
mers.
"Unless something Of this sort IS
done there is a serious danger of
famine in this country through I'M
der-production. Farmers can not
produce large crops unless they have
the money to buy seed. Farming
does not pay under present condi-
tons. Government statistics show
that last year the average wage of
the farmer and his family was $685.
%. Feed prices are exorbitant and
constantly going higher. Many far
mers and many more Of their sons
were drafted in the army. The labor
shortage is acute. Yet we need food
to win the warm fact food is more
important than munitions. Our gov.
eminent would not allow the mum.
ton industry to dwindle at this time
Yet our production faces a certain
and unavoidable curtailment unless
we get government help.
