Watch for These!

Alfonza Martinka, while out collect
ing last Monday received a twenty
dollar bill which had been raised
from five dollar bill.
1t was not until the bill had been
taken to the bank for deposit that
it was detected. Assistant Cashier,
F. M. Anderson, at once noticed that
the bill had been raised. Mr.. Mar
tinka returned the bill to r. A. Nor
cutt whom he had collected it from.
Mr.. Norcutt returned the bill to the
bank where he claimed he had receiv-
ed it with other currency about a
month ago. Banker Kramer, after
carefully considering the matter and
the fact that Mr.. Norcutt does prac-
tically all his business with them,
accepted the bill.
The bill had evidently been in use
Tor some time as the number which
had beeen pasted over the original
ones were becoming loose. It was
very poor piece Of work to begin
with and could be easily detected.
Mr.. Kramer is satisfied that the
raised bill had been received at the
bank with other currency from other
banks in which they do business with
and as the currency was pinned to-
gether, they, in counting it over, did
not notice at that time, the detected
bill.
The raised bill has beeen sent to the
Federal Reserve bank for further in
vestlgation.-Lucan Leader.

Loan to Cattle
Raisers Urged
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD ASKS
ADVANCE BE AUTHORIZED,
RI CONGRESS.

Legislation authorizing Secretary
Mellon to make available to the War
Finance commission $50,O00,000 to be
loaned cattle raisers was recommend
ed to Congress by the Federal Reserve
board in a formal statement issued
by Governor Harding. The recon-
mendation was made, Governor Hard
ing explained, with the. concurrence of
the secretary to meet the temporary
emergency existing in the livestock in
dustry.
The boards proposal was announc-
ed by the governor before leaving for
a two weeks tour of the cattle pro-
ducing sections of the country. He
will stop at Des Moines, Iowa; Chey-
enne, Wyo.; Albuquerque, N. M; Ell
Paso and San Angelo, San Antonio
and Dallas, Texas.
Amendment to the reserve act max
ing one and two-year cattle paper eli
gible for rediscount instead Of the ex-
listing limit of six months as a means
of providing the longer term credit re-
quired by the necessities of livestock
industry is deemed inadvisable by the
board, the governor declared. Such
loans, he asserted, could be made
through reserve banks as fiscal agents
for the War Finance corporation rath-
er than as banks of discount.
He suggested that the time for max
ing these advances to stock be limited
to three years from the passage OF
the gambling legislation, with a
| view to having the funds thus ad-
| vanced ultimately returned to the
treasury"
Discussing the general credit situa-
tion, Governor Harding maintained
there was no ground for apprehension
regarding the ability of the banks to
meet the requirements of both agricul-
ture> and industry.
sIt is the opinion of the Federal Re-
serve board" he said, "that the coun-
try is approaching crop season with
underlying conditions far sounder than
they were year ago."-Minneapolis

Farmers Cheered
by Tariff Law
EMERGENCY ACT, PROTECTING
AGRICULTURISTS, HAILED AS
BEGINNING OF NEW ERA.

Congress has taken the panicky
streak out of the American farmer,
and he now has his sleeves rolled up
and his feet squarely on the ground.
The farmer, who some months ago
threw his rake in the marsh ard
shouted whats the use?" has been
given real incentive for going back
to work.
Tillers of the soil, many Of them on
the verge of bankruptcy for a long
while, and unable to borrow running
capital, believe they have started on q
new era of prosperity.
A survey of the agrarian districts OF
the country, completed by the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation Mon
day, showed vast change of condi-
tions among farmers during the first
week Of the new emergency tariff law
A real back to the farm movement
by the boys who left during the days
of the fat pay envelopes in the facto
ries has added to the peace of mint
of the agriculturalist, so the surve.
also showed.
Farmers, according to reports, arr
getting plenty of help at wages mucl
below last years.
ssThe farming industry is now on al
equal footing with other American in
dustries," said j. w. Cloverdale, secre
tary of the American Farm Bureau
| federation.

The flour mill at st. Peter was
completely destroyed by fire last
week. During a storm lightning
struck the mill and the elevator was
also burned. Loss was over $75, 900.
At recent meeting of the directors
of the Masonic Picnic association,
comprising the Masonic orders in
Brown, Redwood, Renville, Cotton
wood, Yellow Medicine and Lincoln
counties, held recently at Redwood
Falls, it was decided to hold the an
nual picnic at Ramsey State park,
near that city. The picnic was held
there last year. The directors are,
Herman Held, New Ulm; J. F.sKnud-
son Redwood Falls; E. G. Johnson,
Hendricks; A. w. Olson, Walnut

Bond Interest Due.

On June Is interest will be paid by
the United States Treasury on the
First Liberty Loan. In the Ninth
Federal Reserve district the amount
subscribed to this loan was $40, ,255,-
500. The interest to be paid out in
this. district on June Is to holders of
these bonds amounts to- $2,458, ,942.-
so. While this is the smallest inter-
est payment of any of the Liberty
Loan payments" says E. c.. Kibbee,
director of. the Government Savings
Organization, because the subscrip-
tions Of the first loan were smaller
than any Of the others, the fact re-
mains that the wide distribution of
nearly two and one-half millions dol
lars to residents Of the district is an
other demonstration of the faith
which government keeps with those
citizens who loaned money for the
prosecutjca of the war. Incidentally,
it is beco11g more and more popular
for bond owners to clip their coupons
and reinvest them in government saw
ings securities" Government Saw
ings securities consist of Thrift
stamps, 81 and SIS Treasury Savings
Stamps and $25 and 500 and $1,000
Treasury Savings Certificates.

Addresses Class

had done year of post graduate
work.
Rev. Burgstahler gave an address
which was heard with keen interest
by his audience which filled the drill
room of the armory to full capacity.
His talk showed his sympathetic and
understanding interest in the young
people of the nation, his advice to
them was practical and definite and
his address was marked by a kindly
humor which added to it's forcefulness
las well as being source of pleasure to
his auditors.

Roads in Danger
PRODUCERS VOTING SOLIDLY Y
AGAINST TRANSCONTINENTAL
PLEASURE ROUTES.

Minnesota farmers are voting solid
ly against construction of transcon-
tinental pleasure highways" before
the country is provided with good
farm-to-market roads.
The first returns from fresh ballot
ing in the nationwide farm bureau re-
ferenhum show unanimous demand
for developing market roads rather
than few interstate boulevards, the
Minnesota Farm Bureau federation
announced today.
The vote is upholding the farm
bureau federation in its defense of
the Dowell bill, now before congress,
and it's opposition to the Townsend
bill, federation officers said. The
Dowell bill corresponds, on a national
scale, to the, road policy adopted in
Minnesota, according to C.M. Bah
cock, highway commissioner. The
Townsend bill, on the other hand, pro-
vides for the creation of another fed
eral commission, and would give this
commissions dictatorial powers over
state road construction, farm bureau
officials believe.

Nelson Guilty.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, June 5.-And-
ers Gustaf Nelson, son-in-law of I'm
tied States Senator Knute Nelson,
charged with the shooting to death
Of Joseph Middleton, employed on the
farm of Oscar Jacobson, near Alex
andria, Mimi. was found guilty of
manslaughter in the first degree by a
jury in district court here this morn
ing. The case was given the jury
shortly before midnight last night
and a verdict was reached after de-
liberating for 10 hours.
Sentence of manslaughter in the
first degree carries with it term of
from five to 20 years. The defense is
expected to ask for a new trial.
Nelson was arrested March 10, 1920,
the same night that Middleton died
Nelson and Middleton became involved
in an argument during which Nelson's
shotgun was discharged and Middle
ton wounded.

son guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. On September 20 Nelson was
sentenced to life Imprisonment. A
petition for new trial was filed and
denied by Judge Roeser. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme court, where

Frank DilnOt
to Speak Here
NOTED LONDON EDITOR SPEAKS
ON CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM.
SEASON OPENS JUNE 20.

Many good things have been pre-
pared by the Redpath-V Vawter Lecture
Bureau for the Redwood Falls Chau-
tauqua season which opens June 29
and continues for fourteen good ses-
sions. One of the best of the attrac-
tions booked is Frank Dilnot, editor of
the London Globe, who will speak on
the subject of Master Minds and
Master Wits.' Mr.. Dilnot is close
acquaintance of Lloyd George and his
talk will be tfnctured by this aquaint-
anceship as well as by his friendship
with other prominent men Of current
times.
While complete programs for the
season have not yet been issued, the
schedule which appears in the adver-
tising columns of the Gazette shows
that many good numbers are included.
Ellen Beach Yaw, the noted soprano,
gives one of the strongest and most
popular OF the musical programs and
many persons in this vicinity have al
ready expressed their eagerness to
hear her wonderful voice.
This season of fourteen splendid
programs is offered to the public for
the very nominal sum of two dollars
plus the war tax, making a total of
two dollars and twenty cents instead
of two dollars, seventy-fve cents as is
charged in most other places. Chill
dren are admitted to all programs for
total cost OF one dollar and ten cents.
This is an exceptionally low price for
such a splendid offering of talent.
While it is desirable that holders of
season tickets attend every session, if
time does not permit of that, he who
attends only one session a day is still
getting bountiful returns for the
money expended The lecture by Mr..
Dilnot or the songs of Ellen Beach
Yaw are alone well worth the price of
the entire season. The annual Chau-
tauqua season offers to small town re-
sidents one of the very few opportuni-
ties to hear really good things in the
way of music and lectures and it
should be heartily supported by the
public.

Commission Pleased.

C. M. Babcock, commissioner OF
highways, his deputy commissioner ].
H. Mullen and the chief road engineer
of the Commission, J, T. Ellison, were
Redwood county visitors last Thurs
day and Friday, going from here to
Willmar to attend road hearing held
there. Mr.. Babcock expressed him
self as greatly pleased that Redwood
county has kept her roads in such ex-
cellent condition during the spring
months. Many counties have been
somewhat careless concerning the up
keep of their roads while the legisla-
ton concerning the Babcock road law
was pending. Mr.. Babcock stated
that this was very much to be regret
ted as the cost of getting these roads
back into condition after they had
been allowed to lapse was much great
er than the cost of keeping them in
repair. The county will be reimburs-
ed for all monyes expended on the up
keep of state roads. The gentlemen
will return to Redwood county soon
to attend a hearing at Belview, on a
matter concerning the Belview- Echo
road.
