The editor enjoyed a ride out to the
farm of Mr.. Robert A. Storm, seven
miles southeast of town, known as the
George Drake farm, yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Storm has 720 acres out
There as nice a farm as lies out Of
doors. He has been busy this sum-
mer developing a farm of 100 acres
that he has set out from the 72O acre
tract. On this quarter he has built
this summer a set of fine buildings.
He has a barn 60x36, hog house "a
x4O granary 16x30, chicken house
lOx36, all sheeted, papered and sided
and made warm, nicely painted up and
put in fine shape. He is going to COM
mence the erection of a seven room
house next week, and when he has this
done will have one of the finest equip
ped small farms in Barnes county
This he intends to sell some good
farmer soon and that farmer will GER

Mr.. Storms son Oliver has done all
the painting of these buildings and

building of them so that they have
both been busy. On the whole farm

OBJECT TO RURAL ri
CREDIT BILL

Washington, D. c., July 25.-"The
rural credit and multiple insurance
bill recently reintroduced by l.. 7. Nc
Fadden, chairman Of the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee, seeks
to use as it's vehicle one Of the big life
insurance companies and if successful
this company operating under this act
would be given such advantage over
other companies as to create mon
opoly," stated J. r. Howard, president
of the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton today in commenting upon the
bill. "There is also great danger in
the contemplated national charter for
this insurance company.
"The farmers of the United States
would not accept such measure un-
less it was so specifically drawn as to
make fullest use of the present exist
ing farm mutual and cooperative local
companies. These have proved their
worth for many years and have pro-
vided the farmers with the best and
cheapest insurance in the world. Even
a suggestion of any company which
might absorb or displace the local mu-
tual will be strenuously opposed.
Moreover the farmers will insist upon
whatever bill they endorse being writ
ten in direct United States ternlin-
ology rather than uropean phraseology
used in the McFadden bill.
"Much has been said of late regard
ing farm credit loansE based upon in
surance features and at a conference
Of the American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton held in Washington in April,
careful consideration was given to the
question of insuring farm credit and
the principle was endorsed, but not
the McFadden BILL"

During a base ball game between
the local American Legion post and

6 to 9 score in favor of the Legion,

It seems that Neal was losing no time
in getting around the bags after a
long drive, when he slipped and broke
his ankle. He was at once taken to
DR.. A. w.. McDonald's Office where

battled for supremacy on the Richie

1t is with keen regret that we have
to chronicle today the passing away
of Frank Lannon, Jr., at Riverside
hospital at 1870 this morning. The
death Of this boy and the only son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Lannon is indeed
a hard blow to the heart broken par
ents and the rest of the family who
have been bereft of this loved one.
Frank was taken sick several days
ago and was brought here for medical
treatment. All that could be done for
him was done but it was willed that ne
should CO.. He was operated upon a
couple of days ago for appendicitis
but without avail and he passed away;
He was bright boy, full of life and
it seems we do not know our destiny.
To those who have thus been so heav-
lily bereaved we extend, together with
all the friends of the Lannon family:
our heartfelt sympathy. t
