ALLEGED SW|NDLERS
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
CLAIMED THEY ATTEMPTED TO
NICTINlZE MITCHELL MAN
IN WORTHLESS STOCK
DEAL.

Mitchell, May 16.-Suspicions of
Martin Aalseth, of Mitchell, regard
ing two men whom he met in Ro-
chester, Mimi, this week brought
about the arrest of the pair on the
theory that they were attempting to
work a confidence game on Mr.. Aal-
seth. One of the men later admitted
that theye were trying to sell some
worthless stock TO Mr. Aalseth.
According to the story as told by
Mr.. Aalseth and printed in Roches-
ter newspapers, the two men, giving
their names as III. G. Bentley and I'll.
A, Beall, started talkin to him in
Mayo park one afternoon this week.
He later took supper with them at
local cafe and Bentley then asked
Mr.. Aalseth to go riding with him.
When they had gone short dis
tance Bentley pointed to the side of
the road and called Mr.. AaIseth's at
tention to pocketbook lying there.
Examination of the pocketbook
disclosed that it contained $50 in
currency and some papers. At this
juncture they decided TO return to
the city but on the way met Beall,
the second man, who said he had
lost the pocketbook and was then
looking for it. The pocketbook was
returned TO Beall and he invited
Bentley and Mr.. Aalseth to his room
at hotel the next day to receive a
reward
The smooth working out of the
lost pocketboOk incident andNseveral
other chance remarks made by the
men led Mr.. Aalseth to question their
honesty. He communicated with the
chief of police and the men were ar
rested.
Bentley denied any plan to fleece
Aalseth out of any money but Beall
is reported to have admitted that
they were attempting 10 sell some
kind of worthless stock.

SIOtN FALLS, THE PURCHAS-
ERS.

w. E. Bray, of Hawarden, Iowa,
have closed a deal whereby they
come into possession of the furniture
stock of the Johnston's incorporated
of Sioux Falls. They took possession
today and are making preparations
for handling a large line of their
particular class of articles in sets and
otherwise.
G. j. Gee as manager for the
Sioux Falls firm that made the sale
has proved himself to be d man of
business like qualities. He has made
many acquaintance and was always
an active member of the commercial
club and the Merchants association
He is well liked and leaves the Ma
Olson branch holding the respect of
all business men of the city.
Mr.. Bray is an experienced furni-
ture man. He conducts a prosperous
business in that line at Hawarden,
Iowa, where, for over 20 years, he
has made friends of all his custom
ers. Mr.. and Mrs Bray drove up by
auto from Hawarden a day or two
ago purposely to negotiate for the
purchase of the Johnston stock and
good will. Now that the sale has
been effected they return home. Mr..
Bray will divide his time between
the store at Hawarden and the Ma
olson branch but will leave Mr.. Ro-
land in charge of the latter
Mr.. Roland needs no introduction
to the people of Madison and vicin-
ity. He will not only conduct the
furniture business but will also look
after the undertaking department as
he has had several years of expert
ence in modern funeral directing. He
will bring his family to Madison just
as soon as a suitable house can be
located
Messrs. Bray and Roland, have
large shipments in transit and will
soon re stock the large store. They
hope to make Madison the central
point for wide distribution of furni-
ture, carpets, rugs, etc. The under
taking department will be brought
strictly up-to-date also.
The business men Of this city will
welcome Messrs. Bray and Roland
who expect to fully cooperate in
making Madison a great purchasing
point.

Why Chicago Girls
Run Away

Chicago, May 16.-Chicago girls
run away from home-120 closed the
front door "for the last time in the
last six months
Because Chicago judges allow
them to leap-frog from Miss to Miss
us too easily;
Because there are too many places
to drink and toddle;
Because it is easy to sign name
in a hotel register;
Because some parents say "No"
too sternly and yes too weakly.
Mrs. Joseph T. Bowen, president
of the Juvenile Protective association
made public today results of a six
months study of the runaway girl
problem.
She urged that marriage laws be
operated as effectively as child labor
laws and recommended an amend
ment to existing marriage laws, pro-
viding for period of ten days or
two weeks between the issuing of the
license and the marriage ceremony.
Of 112 girls who were reported alb
sent from home during the six
months ended May l, all except six
have been found. Their average in
age was 15.9 years, and their aver
age in school grade attained was CT
More than half of the girls were
the product of broken homes. Near
ly all of them were regular patrons
of commercialized amusements.
Need for recreational agencies that
would catch and hold this class OF
girls was emphasized.

BANK APPROVES
FARM LOANS
DISTRICT FEDERAL LAND BANK
GETS APPLICATIONS FOR 81,
100000 SINCE MAY 1, 1927.

Mitchell, May 16.--The Federal
Land bank of this district has re-
ceived applications for loans in the
sum of $1,500,000 since May l,
1921 These are new applications in
addition to those on file during the
last Is months, while business was
at a standstill, owing to litigation
then pending in the United States
supreme court. These former appli-
cations are given preference in clos
ing loans. 1t is the policy of the
land banks to place proceeds of the
recent issue of bonds equitably as far
as possible among actual '''plow-han-
die farmers" so far as available
funds will permit. Resources will
increase as the market absorbs the
new issue of five per cent bonds, of
which about $4,000, 900 have been
sold.
Directors of the bank of this dis
trist on May IL authorized an issue
of $4,000, 600 of bonds, in addition to
the issue of $5,0O0,000 authorized
at the April meeting.
A dividend of six per cent on as
sociatiOn stock was also declared
which operates 70 reduce the inter
est on mortgages to a point below
the rate of five and one-half per cent
which is the rate that has prevailed
heretofore when bonds We're sold at
four and one-half. Now that the
bonds sell at five per cent the rate
to farm borrowers is six per cent, the
one per cent margin, or so much as
is necessary being used TO meet eX-
penses, and the balance above cost
of service, rebated as heretofore, as
dividends to borrowers which reduc-
es rate of interest on loans.
Total loans approved to date ag
gregate $50,SO3,02O, of which there
