The firm of JaquetA q Gilman, i'm
plement dealers Of this city, have sold
to date about thirty-hve binders.
These machines are to be set up and
delivered within the next couple Of
weeks and will be used to save the
biggest wheat and 0at crop this COM
munity has ever grown. This is a
wonderful indicator of the farmers
pOcketboOk; also in the farmers faith
in the future Of the small cereal crops.
II the farmer had any idea that the
growing Of wheat would be unprOft-
able hereafter he would hardly spend
the price it takes today to get new
machinery. There is a good margin
Of profit in growing wheat in normal
times and since the price has been
guaranteed at 1926 there is no hid
ing the fact that the farmers profit is
big. The farmers buying these ma
chimes are mostly men who grow
wheat as q side line. Most Cherokee
County farms are equipped for gen.
eral stock and grain production, which
Is q better risk than placing all their
hopes in one crop. It means much to
this city to put out this number of
machines as it practically assures the
wheat cut from these binders win be
marketed thru our local elevators.

lElEhERs REFUSE
SALARY WARRANTS


0alena, Kan, May 24.-Teachers Of
TIE Calsna schools were offered war
rants for sl6 yesterday afternoon by
the board Of education, but refused
20 accept that amount as pay in full
for their services this term. The $45
represents the total amount which the
board has held from their warrants
this year, IS being held each month
a. . protection to the board to insure
the compilation Of the contracts by the
teachers. The teachers refused to &C
cept the warrants yesterday upon the
advice Of their attorney, s. C. Wescott,
who was engaged after the announce
ment by the board Of education that
no salary would be paid them for
teaching the past weeks, which Is con-
sidtred time lost during the influenza
Epidemic.
Local citizens and taxpayers are
very much interested in the contro-
versy between the teachers and the
bOerd Of education and are Of differ
emit opinion as to the proper course for
the board to pursue. The balance Of
SYMPATHY seems TO be in favor Of the
teachers and q satisfactory settlement
without legal action is desired.
TAe teachers made up part Of the
time lost by teaching on Saturdays
and are asking no compensation for
that time. Il is rumored, however, II
legal action becomes necessary to Sc
cure the payment for the past two
weeks service, application will be
made for the entire time taught as
made up time, which Is four weeks in
ell.

Roger DOIliff Talks

Roger Dolliff, son of Judge and Mrs.
A. C. Dolliff of Redwood Falls gave a
most interesting talk in the Presby-
terrain Church at the evening service,
Sunday. Mr.. Dolliff was member
of Base Hospital No. 26 which was
made surgical center where many of
the worst cases of wounded and gass-
ed men were sent. Men injured in the
drives of Chateau Theirry and st.
Mihiel were brought to this base and
were there treated by corps of spe-
cialists practically all Of whom had
been trained by the famous Drs. Mayo
OF Rochester. Mr.. Dolliff's talk was a
simple, graphic portrayal of condi-
tions under which the men of his hos
pital corps worked, of the hours they
put in when under pressure of a
drive, and of some of the extreme
cases of surgery which they saw. The
talk was typical of the spirit shown by
the American men throughout the
war in that it made no plea for sympa-
thy and was indicative of the very ma
llifest ideal of the boys to stay by a
hard Job and to get it over with as
speedily as possible. The speaker
threw the meeting open for questions
for short time at the close OF his
talk and many interesting facts were
brought out III this way

Just how much of an increase this

gain of nearly two hundred and fifty
thousand in the same period. The

Reaches Tyler
COMMISSION NAMED BY COVER
NOR LEAVES FOR STRICKEN
COMMUNITY.

For almost year, tornado-swept
Tyler, has lived in huts and shanties
for temporary housing accommoda-
dations Sunday night the commits
sion appointed by Governor Burnquist
to distribute the state aid of $4,000
appropriated by the Legislature to be
used in the rebuilding of the town, left
ST. Paul for Tyler.
Thousands of dollars already have
been expended in building temporary
structures. This money has come
from popular subscriptions and funds
borrowed by Tyler residents from
banks and outside interests.
Now, after the work of cleaning up
the debris has been handled and the
real construction work is in order,
the state proposes ID rebuild tire
town, settling the matter in such
way that every building Destroyed by
the hurricane last summer is replac-
ed.
Besides the $4,000 state aid the
commission has $4,000 from the am
cunt collected from sympathizers last
year.
The relief commission is composed
of S. r. Van SAINT, Minneapolis chair
man! T. o. F. Herzer, st. Paul ,secre-
tary and business manager; S. L. Duea,

vate subscription. This work will be

Socialists Not A
Real Menace Now
EXPERTS DECLARE BOLSHEVISM
WILL NOT TAKE FIRM HOLD;
UNREST is CERTAIN.

That bolshevism will never take any
firm hold in the United States is the
statement of American authorities III
Paris who know economic and socioio-
gical conditions both in France and in
the United States.
They based their conclusions large
ly on the fact that bolshevism has
flourished most extensively where the
class distinctions are the greatest
where the gulf between the rich and
poor is the widest. In this connection,
Trey pointed out that Russia was the
first nation to fall victim to the ex-
cesses of bolshevism There the gap
between the rich and poor was the
greatest.
Bolshevism does not surprise the
men who have studied it.. They point
out that every great war in Europe
has been followed by more or less
violent reaction. Once it developed
into struggle for political liberty;
now it develops into struggle for
more equitable distribution of the
wealth of nations.
Pendulum Will Swing Back
Americans in Paris who have been
keeping their finger on the pulse of
Europe believe that the pendulum will
swing back to a more nearly normal
state. There has been much talk that
Germany would dissolve into bolsne-
vism. This may or may not be true.
Some people coming out of Germany
say they doubt it The French have
recently been circulating what pur-
ports to be speech of Brockdorff-
Rantzau declaring that there is no
menace of bolshevism in Germany, but
declaring that the threat will be held
over the heads of the allies in the hope
of securing a better peace than other
wise would be the case.
Then there are predictions that
France will stir into revolution when
she finds that she must pay higher
taxes because Germany is not to be
forced to pay the whole cost of the
war, as the politicions originally said
she would. But American experts have
told the United Press that they believe
there is more prospect of industrial
unrest and perhaps real bolshevism
LIN England than in France.
AS for the United States they say
that there are less chances of boil
shevism there than anywhere else.
They believe that America has pros

Church Does Well

The first day of the final Centenary
Campaign opened well in the Metho-
dist Church of Redwood Falls, SUD
scriptions amounting to over eighteen
thousand dollars being made at the
Sunday services. This is considera-
bly, more than the amount allotted and
still does not represent all that the
church will do as there is still large
percentage of the membership which
has not been solicited in this drive.
The amount of the subscription IS
surprisingly large when it is con-
sidered that this is the second drive
the church has made in the past seven
weeks the amount Of S., 500 being rais-
ed only very short time ago for the
support Of the Community Club. The
Church is in nourishing and pros
porous condition and it is quite appar-
ent that its members are possessed OF
3 fine willingness TO share their good
things with other jewellers Of the earth
who may be less fortunate.

Fighters May Get
Farms Easily
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT Is CIV
ING NEEDED INFORMATION
TO THE SOLDIERS.

With an ever increasing flood of
men returning home from the war
to take up anew the tasks of civil life,
many of them with greatly changed
ideas of life and ambitions and in a
quandary as to just what to do are APP
pealing to the department of the in
terror for information as to the inten-
tions of the government in its propoS-
ed plan of providing farms for soldiers.
Such a deluge of requests has been
received from the men who wore the
uniform as to emphasize the lesson
of all other wars that the service men,
because Of army life, with its open
ness and activity, largely seek out
of-dOor vacations.
I The interior department has already
explained to more than 10000 men
that the development of its plans
rests solely with congress. 1t is ex-
pected that early in the extra sessit n
which convenes May 19, there will be
introduced bills covering the farms
for-soldiers plan.
Briefly the department is saying
that. if such legislation is passed,
work will begin at once in the devel-
cpment of cooperative farm settle
ments for soldiers and sailors in near
| " all of the states. In practically ey-
cry state in the Union there are large
areas of land suitable for this purpose
There is dry land in the west that
needs water, which can be provided
by building dams and canals. In the
east are large areas of cut-over or
logged-off timber lands from which it
will be necessary to blow the stumps
and clear off the underbrush. In the
south is a large amount of cut-ove.
land and swamp land which must DC
drained.
Questions By Soldiers.
Many of the soldiers have asked il
it will be possible for them to obtain
Ia job near their homes draining, clear
/ ing, irrigating and improving these
lands. That again depends upon the
action of congress in providing the
money for construction. The plans tC
propose that these settlements be
scattered all over the country so that il
would be possible for every honOra-
| bly, discharged soldier or sailor or ma
rine to work near his old home. There
would be work of all kinds In connec-
ton with these settlements, from the
highest technical and clerical position
to that of laborer.
The plan involves "the new farm
Idea" in that there will be built what
are known as community settlements
each containing a number of farm
homes, so that the men will have nea,
neighbors, good roads over which to
bring their produce to town, and
