In the Estate of Mr..

UItTt were 4UU Shares OF q certain StOCK
which maintained an average price of
$ll0.
His executor was good business man
and a personal friend.
One Summer Mr. Executor went off
on vacation to Europe When he got
back he found that the market value of
the stock had declined from $4,000 to
around $4,000. He also found that his
clerk had forgotten to pay certain taxes
on which there was a penalty.
Many persons appoint a Trust Com
pany as their executor because it never
goes off on a vacation and 1t is in touch
with business conditions and values.

Court Opens with
Many Cases
LARGEST CALENDAR IN COUN-
TVS HISTORY, SAYS CLERK
OF COURT WELDON.

District Court opens in Redwood
Falls next Monday morning with
Judge I. NJ. Olsen of New Ulm on the
bench. The Grand Jury is called for
ten o'clock that morning and the petit
jury for the same time the next NOR
ming.
The calendar shows seventy eight
civil cases which is, in Clerk w. G.
Weldon's opinion, the largest calendar
Redwood County has ever had. For
the first time in nearly twenty years
there is malpractice case on the
list; there are also cases covering al
most every other civil misdemeanor in
the category. Eight Of the cases are
ditch appeals and twenty-seven cases
are cases which were continued from
last term. The Grand Jury has work
to do and just what additions it's find
ings will put on the criminal calendar
can only be surmised. However, all
court officers are looking for term
of about three weeks which will still
leave the usual large number Of court
cases for Judge Olsen to try in cham
bers.

money to be so loaned
To stabilize farm values, and to be
able to carry out proper system Of
farming, and orderly marketing, we
must have a system of rural finance
that can be depended upon at all
times. The passage of this amend
ment to the Constitution will open the
way for the state to establish system
of finance that will stabilize the inter-
est rate on farm mortgages, and pro-
tect the borrower from excessive COM
mission charges.
The cost of maintaining this system
will be borne by the borrower and
will add no taxes to the general tax
payer. 3
This legislation will not put other
loan agencies out of business, but it
will furnish competition that will in
sure money to the farmer at reason
able rate Of interest. The credit Of
the. state will be properly safeguard
ed. This is no experiment. It works
in other states and countries and it
will work for the benefit Of the great
majority in, Minnesota If given a
chance.
