Trinkle Wants
Bond Issue
Governor Delivers Address to
Joint Session of General
Assembly.

Richmond, Va, March "a
Addressing joint session of the
General Assembly today, Cover
nor Trinkle urged the legislators
to pass the Senate bill providing
for a $4,000, 900 bond issue for
highway construction in Virgin
ia.
The bill, he declared, would
provide employment for many
who would otherwise be idle
and would make possible the
completion of a progressive road
building program. Further, it
wonld take advantage of the
present low rate of interest and
would be no drag on the taxpay
crs, as not one penny additional
property tax will be necessary.
With gasoline tax yielding $780,
ooo annually, n sinking fund
could easily be cared for togeth-
er with interest charges on such
n bond issue. He assumed that
no troublc will be encountered
IN bringing about the enactment
OF such tax law. He expressed
himself MS particularly we'll
pleased with the plans for the
reorganization OF the State High
way Department and expected
the bill with that end in view
soon to be enacted into law.
In order to correct what he
termed "some rather inconslder.
ate and inaccurate statements''
made relative to ms position on
the road issue during the pre-
election campaign, he said: "ln

SENATE AUTHORIZES
GRAIN TRADE PROBE
Speedy Action Follows National De-
nland Suggested BY Grain
Growers President

Passage by the United States sen
ate Of resolution authorizing a fed
eral investigation Of the export grain
trade is the direct result of thousands
of letters and kilograms sent to Wash
ington by grain producers, at the sug-
gestion of c.: III. Gustafson, according
to northwest headquarters of the U. S.
Grain Growers. Inc. Mr.. Gustafson,
Grain Growers president, three weeks
ago launched a national campaign to
obtain early action on this resolution,
charging that present "ruinous prices"
were due to smashing process,
despite AN export demand that in 1921
absorbed 90,000000 bushels of wheat
more than in 1920.
IN Minnesota, presidents Of county
farm bureaus responded vigorously to
Mr.. Gustafsol's appeal.
The resolution authorizes the Fed
eral Trade commission to inquire into
the margin between farm and export
prices Of market manipulation, profits
and losses OF grain export firms, and
methods used 10y foreign buyers.
The resolution was introduced last
summer by Senator e. F. Ladd, and
was "pigeon-holed" in committee I'M

GIVE cows A CHANCE .....
SEE INCOME INCREASE

e. A. Hanson, dairy extension spe-
cialist at University Farm, renews
the inquiry, "Are you keeping cows
or are they keeping you," in a collec-
tion of feeding suggestions recently is
sued BY him. S2 ,', ,..@@
"Put the cow to work." he says,
\ "and she is the most efficient money
maker on the farm today. A COW
producing Is pounds Of 4 per cent
milk daily makes one pound Of butter
fat day worth about so cents. This
COWS needs rations and hay and silage
which should not cost more than is
cents daily, leaving 35 cents daily
above the cost Of her feed. Where
can you invest your time and efforts
to better advantage? Give your cows
a chance. They are all capable Of do

BILLION DOLLARS NOW
AVAILABLE TO EXTEND
CREDIT TO FARMERS
Amendment to War Finance Corpora
ton Act Benefits Farm C0inmuni-
ties.-Minsaesota gets more than
Other States.

The amendment to the War Finance
Corporation Act passed at the last
session of Congress enables farming
communities TO obtain, through their
local banks, sufficient credit to enable
the farmers to tide over their financial
disaster, by affording them an exten.
sion of credit that will give them from
Ole 10 three years extension of time
to iquidate their indebtedness.
This amendment is known as the
Kellogg Substitute for the Norris Bill
1t was drawn by Senator Kellogg after
consultation with j. r. Howard, Presi-
dent of the American Farm Bureau,
and was approved by him, and he and
other officers Of the Farm Bureau as
sisted Senator Kellogg in securing the
passage Of the bill.
The War Finance Corporation is
now fully organized to carry out the
provisions Of the law, and the Federal
Officials are anxious to get the money
to the farmers by the shortest and
quickest way possible. All unneces-
sary rcd tape has been eliminated and
the method Of making the loan to the
individual farmer is simple and easily
understood.
Reasonable Interest Rate
The rates of interest required are
under present conditions reasonable !;
and the terms Of the loan running for
six months, with the privilege of re-
newing the loan from one to three
years, are also satisfactory.
One billion dollars is available for
these loans and there is no reason why
this money should not be placed in
our farming communities within the
next three months, if prompt advant-
age is taken of the opportunity now
afforded.
Every interested person who has ex-
amined the conditions Of this loan, adj
mits the value and benefit Of it at this
time, and every one interested in the
prosperity of the farmers should do all
in their power to assist farmers in Sc
curing this credit as expeditiously as
possible, as this law was introduced
and its passage secured by Senator
Kellogg Of this State with the approx
al and assistance of the representa-
tives of the Farm Bureau.
Our Farm, Bureau. Organizations
throughout the state, should do all
they can to see that the farmers are
enabled to take advantage Of the law
to the fullest extent possible. The
money is available and there is nc
reason why it should not be moving
promptly and in sufficient volume tc
meet the needs of the farmers of Min
peSOta

Farmers Victories

Magazine, Industry" Tells How Agri'
p culture Forced Compromise

Delegates to the third annual con-
vention of the American Farm Bureau
federation at Atlanta were told that
the national federation, backed by
it's Al state declarations, had been
chiefly instrumental in getting pass
ed, during the last. session of con-
gress, more agricultural legislation
than has been passed by any other
congress since the gavel fell for the
first American congress- ~ .,-,@
The federation gets large part
of the creditor the blame-for the
creation of the agricultural blocs in
both houses of congress, which have
made possible the passage of the farm
legislation recently enacted. II l.
The best possible proof that organ.
lied farmers are getting results is
the opinion Of their opponents. Here
is what Industry" magazine which
describes itself as an Interpretation
of industrial progress" has to say
about the legislation, just passed to
give farmers square deal:
:''The time has cine when honest
business throughout the country must
use every legitimate. weapon at its
disposal to combat bloc legislation In
congress. The agricultural bloc. con
tent during the early days of the
present session to force the enact
ment Of legislation benefting farm.

The people Of the United States, il
goes on, ''have witnessed the enact.
ment OF the emergency tariff law

the passage of the bill recereating the

TOOK THREE ENEMY SCALPS
Exploit of Indian Girl Made Her Fa-
nous Among the Tribes of the
Northwest.

One of the most warlike of Indian
maidens was Hanging Cloud, Chip
pewa girl, the daughter of Na-nong-
ga-bee, chief of a branch of that tribe
which occupied the territory around
Rice lake in northern Wisconsin, some
IS wears ago. In her hair Hanging
Cloud wore three eagle plumes, signi-
flying that she had slain that many
braves in battle.
This exploit she performed when
a party, including herself and her ia
Their, were ambushed by force OF
Sioux, the Chippewas' traditional enc.
mics. Her father was slain, and
Hanging Cloud, feigning death, wait,
ed until the Sioux came to secure the
scalps of the slain Chippewas, and
then, seizing her fathers rifle, killed
one and, in the pursuit which fol-
lowed, succeeded in killing two more.
She scorned to marry one of her own
tribe, for she could not espouse her
self to a lesser warrior than she. and
so she finally married white man.
with whom she lived for many years
near Rice lake.
