Mrs. IaDu Now
on Pardon Board
MINNEAPOLIS WOMAN SLATED
FOR SUPERVISOR OF HOME
FOR GIRLS.

Mrs. Blanche LaDu, Minneapolis at
torney, who has just been appointed
as the fifth member of the State
Board of Control, is expected to take
her place at once, officials indicated
Monday. Mrs. LaDu is the second
woman to be appointed to the board
in accordance with the law passed by
the last Legislature, authorizing the
governor to appoint two women mem
bers. The other lady is Miss Caro-
line Crosby, also of Minneapolis.
Governor Preus, in announcing his
appointment of Mrs. LaDu, declared
that her experience as mother OF
two children especially influenced him
in the appointment. He said that he
wanted a woman with the sympathy
and understanding such experience
brought, as a member of the board.
While no arrangements have yet
been completed for the special work
which Mrs. LaDu will supervise in
her work, the governors statement is
taken to mean that she will probably
be in charge of such institutions as
the Sank Center school for girls.
The board of control is in charge OF
II state Institutions, caring for more
than $4,000 unfortunates.' These IN
.clude the penitentiary at Saltwater,
six institutions for the insane, and
institutions for. the feeble-minded,
deaf, dumb, and the blind. It has
been customary to divide the work
among the different members Of the
board, placing each member in special
charge Of some of the institutions. In
all important matters, the board acts
as whole, but in matters of detail,
it does not become necessary to put
them before the entire board.
C. J. Swenson, chairman Of the
board, said last night that the board
has not vet arranged Mrs. LaDu's
special work, but that she win proba-
bly, assume the care Of institutions Tor
which her experience has best fitted

Protest Against
Rates Planned
FARMERS INVITE ALL INTER
ESTS TO JOIN IN FORCING
FREIGHT CHARGES DOWN.

Farmers in this county believe they
could market more products if freight
rates were not so high. That was
the opinion recorded in the recent ref
erendum taken by the farm bureaus
of the state.
Backed by this opinion, and the
statement of 95 percent of the farm
ers voting, that high freight rates
were keeping large quantities of
food tied up on the farm, the farm
bureau federation of II states are
considering this week the organiza-
tion of national protest against
present railway charges. A resolu-
tion was to be introduced at the Mid
west Farm Bureau conference in st
Paul this week, calling on the nation
al federation to call agricultural and
business organizations into a national
meeting to urge rate reductions.
The resolution was to be offered by
delegates of the Iowa Farm Bureau
Federation. The other states in
cluded in the midwest conference are
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Wisconsin
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Kan
sas.
The resolution asserted that the
railroads are now being given special
favors to the detriment of producers
and consumers alike.
Iowa delegates declared that re-
adjustment of freight rates would
contribute ssto the prevention of fur
ther impending economic disaster
"Taking cognizance of the substan-
tial reduction that has recently been
made in the operating expenditures
of the railroads by reason of wage
re-adjustments," the resolution to be
acted on says, "and appreciating that
other re-adjustments may be reason
ably anticipated, we are of the opin-
ion that such reductions in operat-
ing expenditures justify and demand
a corresponding decrease in the cost

To Make Comedies
in St. Paul Studio
YOUNG MEN KNOWN HERE IN
NEW PICTURE-PRODUCING
FIRM.

Feature motion pictures for ma
tional theatrical presentation are to
be written and produced in st. Paul
during the next year, providing plans
of number of st. Paul men develop
successfully.
Articles of incorporation were filed
last week by four former Twin Cities
newspaper men, the organization to
be known as Cartoonigrams, Inc,
with capital stock of SIS, 200. Two
St. Paul business men are financing
the project.
Bart Foss, artist for Rath, Mills &
Bell, Inc, is to be the principal fac
tor in the production of the films,
which will be of comedy cartoon ma
| ture.
Scenarios for the comedies will be
prepared by Addison Lewis, adver-
tising manager for Finklestein &
Ruben, and John Paul Keefe and
William F. Keefe, st. Paul newspaper
men. Lewis is a successful short
story author.
/ John Paul Keefe was connected
! with the Thomas H. Ince and Cold
| wyn studios in Los Angeles in the
| publicity and scenario departments
before returning to st. Paul year
ago. William F. Keefe was former
" assistant sporting editor of the
| Pioneer Press and is now identified
with the Associated Press office in
! St. Paul.
1t is the plan to produce two COM
| edies a month. Two films are now
under production at Rath, Mills &
Bell studios, and on their completion
will be given initial presentation in
st. Paul. Several large producing
companies of New York and Los An
geles are interested in the features,
and it is likely that an outright sale
for their release will be effected this
fall.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
The Keefe brothers mentioned in
the above article are well-known in
Redwood Falls, having frequently
visited here at the home of their uncle,
j. r. Keefe.

Clague Plans Drive
to Get Reduction in
Northwest Coal Rate.

With view of petitioning the In
terstate Commerce commission for
lower rates on coal to the Northwest,
Representative Clague of Minnesota
is making an effort to obtain con-
ference of the Minnesota and North
western members of Congress. He
believes that by united effort on the
part of members from this section of
the country, the Interstate Commerce
commission can be induced to take
some action.
Mr.. Clague decided to attempt to
enlist his colleagues in an effort to
procure better coal rates for the
Northwest Friday after talk with a
member of the Interstate Commerce
commission. Although Mr.. Clague
presented the seriousness of the coal
situation in the Northwest at length
to the Interstate Commerce commits
sioner, he was unable to obtain any
encouragement from him. The COM
missioner stated that there is no i'm
mediate prospect of any reduction in
Northwestern coal rates. The COM
missioner made the plea that the rail-
WAYS are only earning 3 or per cent
net income.
"From my talk with the commits
sioner," said Mr.. Clague, II do not be-
lieve that the Interstate Commerce
commission has any conception OF the
real situation in the Northwest. | do
not believe that the commission is
really convinced that the farmers SIM
ply cannot buy coal at its present
price In my opinion, the railroads
would make more money if they make
material reduction in rates to the
Northwest as they would secure more
business. The traffic at present will
not bear the rates that are being
charged"

Many Fail to
Collect Interest
on Liberty Bonds

Incredible as it may sound, there
are several thousand people scattered
throughout the United States who
have money coming to them from the
United States Government, but who
are so Indifferent that they will not
go to the trouble of calling for it at
their local banks. Also, unlike many
debtors, Uncle Sam has tried and still
is trying to pay these people their
money which, in the aggregate, is con-
siderably over $100,000,000.
This huge amount represents ac-
cumulated interest on outstanding IL
berty bonds and victory notes which
the owners have tucked away in
trunks, bureau drawers and safe de-
posit boxes and have apparently for
gotten that they bear interest coupons
which are payable at intervals Of six
months. All they have to do is to
clip the coupons and take them to any
bank and the money will be paid over
without even the trouble of identifica-
ton.
The exact amount of this accumul-
ated interest on April 30, 1921, the
last date of which there are official
figures, was $100, 0,629 900. Since that
date, the total has probably increased
by several millions, since interest on
the second loan matured May Is, and
on June Is interest on the First and
Victory loans fell DUE.
The records of the Treasury show
that the great bulk of the unpaid in
terest is due on bonds of $50 and $1OO
denomination. Many of the owners
of these bonds have doubtless failed
to clip the coupons, or present the
temporary bonds for exchange,
through ignorance. Others have laid
the bonds away and forgotten them.
The Treasury, Department has done
everything possible to get these in
dividuals to present their interest
coupons and collect the cash which is
due them. It has issued circular let
ters, posted notices in banks and post
offices and advertised in newspapers,
but thus far it's efforts have been un-
availing. Instead of decreasing the
money in it's possession which does
not belong to it, each interest-pay-
ing day sees the amount constantly
growing in volume. If you are one Of
those who bought Liberty or Victory
Loan Bonds, see to it that you collect
your interest promptly. You will be
doing patriotic service if you ask
your neighbors If they have collected
their interest to date.
