Fathers and Sons
Enjoy Banquet
OVER FIVE HUNDRED MEN AND
BOYS CELEBRATE WASHING
TONS BIRTHDAY AT DINNER
DIR. BESS TALKS.
SPLENDID PROGRAM OF TOASTS
GIVEN WITH H. A. BALDWIN AS
MASTER OF CEREMONIES.

The Fathers and Sons of the COM
munity were most royalty entertained
at the Armory last Tuesday evening,
the dinner and program being given
under the auspices of the Redwood
Falls Commercial Club. DIR. Elmer
Allen Bess of st. Paul made the main
address of the evening to a company
of over five hundred men and boys
who were seated at six tables extend
ing the full length of the Armory
drill room. DIR. Bess took as his
theme "It Takes Time to Make Man"
and dealt with the subject in a way
which was both interesting and inspir-
ing to his auditors.
Under the able leadership of H.
a very interesting program of short
talks was given before DR.. Bess made
his address. The Commercial Club
was represented by its president w. G.
Weldon who talked on Parable of
Life. DIR. A. w. Ross toasted the
Sons and Won Luscher respond with
an excellent toast to Our Fathers.
Mervin Mason paid 9 splendid tribute
to Our Mothers and Mrs. T. E. Finn
responded with a toast to Our Sons.
w. H. Gold talked briefly on the As
sets Of the Community speaking of the
material assets Of the nation, state and
country and Of those more valuable
assets, the young people of the coun-
try. Rev. Burdette L. Main read
Riley's Knee Deep in June and Har-
old Starr sang Mother of Mine. The
program was enlivened by songs by
the guests under the leadership of
Miss Bergersen and the high school
orchestra played during the service of
the menu.
The women of the city showed won
derful ability in serving so Large a
number with so little confusion. The
armory is practically without equip
ment for taking care of SO large
number and the ladies were called up
on to provide dishes, linen and silver
as well as the large quantity of food.
Eighty-five ladies assisted with the
work OF preparing and serving the
dinner, working under the direction of
Mrs. H. M. Aune of the kitchen COM
mittee and Mrs. F. G. Hubbard of the
dining room committee. Tickets sold
for the very modest price of fifty
cents a plate and this amount was
found sufficient to defray the expen-
ses of the occasion, under the careful
planning done by the women of the
various committees.
The gathering was very representa-
tive of the community and several out
side towns were also represented by
guests who had been invited to at
tend. Among the outside towns repre-
sented were Renville, Fairfax, Nor.
ton, Milroy, Morgan and Lamberton.

Farm Loan Act
Is Constitutional
SUPREME COURT RENDERS DE-
CIsIoN UNFOLDING FEDERAL
FARM LOANS.
WILL HELP COUNTRY.
BANKS LONG HELD up WILL
AGAIN OPERATE; $50,oOO,O0O
BONDS AFFECTED.

The federal farm loan act was held
constitutional by the Supreme Court
in decision made Monday. This is
the act under which land banks were
established to extend loans to farm
ers and this decision is the decision
which the Southern Minnesota Joint
Stock Land Bank of Redwood Falls
has been awaiting for the past four
teen months. The action Of the court
makes it possible for this bank, along
with all others making farm loans to
resume operations and will be an inn
mense relief to the land owners max
ing loans.
Millions of dollars in loans to farm
ers have been held up pending deci-
sion of the court in this case, which
was brought by Charles w. Smith, a
stockholder in the Kansas City Title
and Trust company, who sought an in
junction to restrain that Institution
/ from investing it's funds in bonds is
sued by the farm loan banks.
The court divided six to two, Justic-
es Holmes and McReynolds dissenting.
Justice Brandeis took no part in con-
sidering the case. Justices Holmes and
McReynolds held that the cause"
should have been dismissed by the
court as being solely within the scope
Of the Missouri courts.
Injunction Proceedings Dropped.
The act was attacked on the ground
that congress was without constitu-
tional authority to establish farm loan
banks and to exempt their bonds from
taxation. Justice Day, who rendered
the opinion for the court, said the
power Of congress to establish banks
had, in broad sense, been upheld by
the supreme court in the days of Chief
Justice Marshall.
The court, in sustaining federal
court DEGREES dismissing injunction
proceedings brought by Mr.. Smith, all
so held that congress had the authori-
ty to exempt the bonds of the bank
from taxation.
$4,000, 900 in Loans Affected.
Offi;ials placed the total amount of
loans to farmers held in allegiance by
the suit at many times $50, ,0O0, 900. On
March 1, 1920, the farm loan board re-
ported $182, 1897, 900 had been advanced
to 1884 farmers and that applica-
tions from 179, ,734 persons then pend
ing totaled $471, ,0O0,000e
The suit in the Supreme Court was
in the form Of an appeal from lower
court decisions refusing to issue an
injunction to restrain the Kansas City
Title and Trust Company from invest
ing it's funds in bonds issued by the
Farm Loan Banks. The Government,
the Federal Land Bank of Wichita,
Kan, and the First Joint Stock Land
Bank of Chicago, on there own apph-
cation, were made defendants in order
that the entire question might be set
tied finally in one suit.
Counsel for Mr.. Smith asserted in
substance that the farm loan act was
an exercise of power which congress
did not possess under the constitution
Further ground for attack was found
in the exemption of the farm loan Sc
curities from taxation, as instrument
talities of the government"

SCOUTS AS TRAFFIC AIDS.

In Fort Smith, Ark, scouts were
Tecently put on the job of recording
their observations as to how well
drivers of automobiles were obeying
traffic laws and reported that one
third of the motorists observed did
not slow down for railway crossings
and were otherwise criminally negli-
gent. AS result of this report a more
stringent watch was set on traffic
and safer conditions enforced.
Another traffic job which won much
praise locally was the aid rendered
by boy scouts to the police depart.

crowds on two of the city's busiest
corners. Squads carried long ropes
preventing pedestrians from crossing
streets during vehicular traffic; when
the traffic direction changed squad

to block the other intersections. The
police say this work was never so
well managed before and greatly min
imized the number of accidents and
the prevalence of jay walking.

sin another county | saw differ
ent thing, which shows how the coun-
ty agent is loaded down with work
where there is no such organization.
He had succeeded in getting a number
of farmers in different parts of the
county to take up pure breeding, and
had placed some good bulls with
them. These ssires had now been used
for two years, and change had to
be made. So the county agent found
1t necessary to hustle around and ar
range exchanges among these farm
ers to keep the good sires at work ;
otherwise the owners would have sold
them, and might have neglected to
buy new ones, and might have lost
the use of a good bull. If there had
been bull association in the county
it would have attended to the business
of exchanging, as one of it's regular
functions, and left the county agent
free to take up other important work"
