$4,000 BONDS VOTED
BY STEVENS TOWNSHIP
Every Resident of the Township Will
Have a Graded Road to
Town

One of the outstanding results of
the township elections which were
held on Tuesday was the voting by
Stevens township of $4,000 road
bonds. The proceeds of these bonds
is to be used on the roads of the
township in such a manner that
every resident of the township will
have a graded road from his home
to town, the only exception being
those along State Road No. g., and
these will be taken care of when
that lateral is built.
So far as known this is the first
township in western Minnesota to
take this advanced step in road build
ing. The vote on the question was
practically unanimous, being SIS to
Z.
Other features of the spring cleo
tions were the sticker fight on sup
ervisor in Pepperton township, and
the passage of a resolution in Ever
glade township prohibiting non-resi-
dents from hunting in that township.
The women were eligible to vote,
of course, and in Alberta, they turned
out and took advantage of their right
to participate.
Full returns from each township
will be published next week. s..

NEW FARM THRIFT
CAMPAIGNS BEGINS
Minnesota Producers Urged to Repair
or Exchange Machinery to
Reduce Expense

Minnesota farmers have started
their own thrift campaign. -.
The Minnesota Farm Bureau fed
GRAFTON has sent out a call to every
county farm bureau for repair and
exchange bees" The "bees" apply
to farm machinery. .
I'm view of high prices of farm
machinery" the federation said in
it's message to farmers of the state,
"the federation regards it as of the
utmost importance for every farmer
to repair every serviceable piece of
machinery before he needs it, so that
he will not have to make unneces-
sary purchases as result of finding
his equipment broken at the last
moment"
Farmers were urged to exchange
parts from machinery too much worn
to be repaired, and use them to save
the expense Of buying new parts.
The machinery thrift campaign in
Minnesota is part of a nationwide
movement launched by the American
Farm Bureau federation, and taken
up by the farmers in Illinois, Iowa
and other middlewest and northwest
states.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
INJURED In RUNAWAY
Mrs. Charles Morrow and Daughter
Loretta Are Thrown From Buggy
When Colt is Frightened

Mrs. Charles Morrow of Donnelly,
had her arm broken in two places
and her daughter Loretta was badly
bruised when they were thrown from
a buggy in runaway on Atlantic
avenue last Saturday afternoon.
1t is thought the colt Mrs. Morrow
was driving became frightened when
he struck the pavement north of
town. The team ran the length of
the business district, but Mrs. Nor
row had the horses pretty we'll in
hand until she tried to turn them
off the pavement at 4th st. 1t was
then that the buggy struck the curb
and she and her daughter were
thrown. The fact that the Agricul-
tural school students were having a
snake dance on their way to the sta
tion to meet their debating team did
not serve to calm the colt any.
The injured women were taken in
to the office of the Morris Sun and a
physician was summoned. Later they
were taken to their home in Dom
nelly. Frank Norman from the Ag-
ricultural school drove their team
home for them.

MILLER LECTURES ON
-~@-'-s7
FUTURE OF THE NEGRO
Self Determination of Black Race
is New Slogan of Colored
People -~

"The Negro race has come to be-
lieve in the self determination of its
people in Africa" said P. e. Miller
in a lecture on Africa and it's Posi-
bilities'' in the Methodist church on
Sunday night. Mr.. Miller said the
exploitation by the white race of the
black peoples is one Of the darkest
pages in our history. The negroes
who fought in the world war for the
self-determination of small nations
are now demanding that the same
doctrine be applied to their people
in Africa according to Mr.. Miller.
Through the efforts of Marcus
Garvey, known as the Moses of the
black race, the racial consciousness
of the colored people has been in
creased to an enormous extent. Gar
vey says that if Europe and America
are the homes of the white race and
Asia the dwelling place of the yellow
race that Africa ought to be the
home of the black race. In his opin-
ion the Negroes should be allowed to
develop alone, not under the domin-
alton of any other race. Mr.. Miller
in tracing the wonderful progress the
Negroes have made in this country
since the civil war said the black
peoples have proved that they are
capable of big things. -

have amounted to about $4,000, 900.
From June, 1917, until we had to
stop making loans, we gave credit
to the amount ofrs44,430,O0O. What
we can do now for the farmers of
Minnesota depends entirely on the
sale of bonds. If we can market
them, we should be able to take care
of the first loan application in so
days. We are very hopeful that we
shall be able to raise enough money
to relieve, the rural credit situation
to a considerable extent"
The supreme court decision also
upheld the constitutionality of the
law as it relates to joint stock land
banks. Some of these banks already
are receiving applications for loans.

FARM LAND BANKS
UPHELD BY COURTS
New Loans to Farmers in go Days
Predicted if Bonds Find
Buyers

Relief from credit stringency is in
sight for Minnesota farmers as a re-
suit of decision by the United
States supreme court, holding the
federal farm land bank law consti-
tutional. Steps are being taken to
market bonds authorized by the law,
and raise money to loan farmers on
long term mortgages. If the bonds
can be sold, the federal land bank in
st. Paul will be ready to handle new
loans within the next 60 days, Paul
Preus, treasurer of the bank, said in
a statement in the absence of E. G.
Quamme, president. ; . s==%--,.s -,
This bank established to make
loans to farmers in Minnesota, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, and North Dakota,
has made practically no new loans
since October, 1919. A suit testing
the constitutionality of the farm land
bank law made it impossible for the
banks Of the system to sell their
bonds and raise money to loan.
The st. Paul federal bank hopes
to realize enough money from the
sale of bonds to relieve the rural
credit stringency and enable farm
ers to get money on farm mortgages
at reasonable rates. a s.,+apv

fit of the children. 3:
Supt. Ferd Grafelman of Alberta
made a special plea for closer CO.
operation between the home and
school in his address Of the evening.
He asked for more frequent visits to
SAAS oNhOOA OA IAAO pol Y VI GAC POI CAL0p
for conferences between parents and
teachers in order that both will un-
derstand better the individual needs
of the children.
Democracy is based on universal
Intelligence" he said. eff we are to
have democracy we will have to
build it on the common school. In
spite of the progress that has been
made in education, the schools are
still an unsolved problem. Only
through the help and cooperation of
the parents can proper attention be
paid to the individual needs Of the
children"
| He spoke of the Importance of the
mothers care of the child before he
reaches school age, remarking> that
what the child is to be in later life
depends largely on the kind of train
ing he gets in this period.

GAMBLING PASSED
House Approves Measure by the
Overwhelming Vote of 101
to 1S

legislative victory when the lower
house passed the bill to prohibit
short selling of grain and other farm
products. The victory was over
whelming, with only 18 votes against
the measure and 1O1 for it.
''The farmers of Minnesota, by
voicing their opinions, have played
the biggest part in the decisive action
of the house." L. e. Potter, president
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau feder-
alton, said. ''They asked the legis-
lature to pass a measure to stop short
selling of grain and other farm pro-
ducts, and at the same time protect
hedging. The house has responded
to the wishes of the farmers"
The results of the farm bureau
federation's statewide referendum on
the bill, showing the farm bureaus of
62 counties vitually solid in support
of the measure, were laid before every
member of the house few hours be-
fore the measure came up for pas
sage. Speakers upholding the bill
stressed the fact brought out by the
referendum, that 100000 farmers
know what they want; there's nc
guessing about it, they know"
The measure now goes to the SEN
ate.

the first ever taken in the state tC
