ARE AFTER THE MONEY
Leasuers Begin Suit To Collect On
Post Dated Checks

I-CdLCO SuOSNo
Madelia, January 1.-THE Madelia
Times Messenger says: Solicitous as
ever, for the welfare OF the farmer the
Nonpartisan league is now engaged
in forcing collections from farmers
who were induced to give post dated
checks or notes to cover, the SIG
membership fee.
The league was and is after the
money, and now it shows its great
concern for the farmer by assigning
the paper received from the farmers
to one G. HI. Daugherty of st. Paul,
and that gentleman is serving sum
mons on the various victims, bringing
his cases. before the district court.
One of the good farmers OF this
county who gave a post dated check,
and who later discovered his mistake
and refused to make payment, is Roy
w. Lewis of Austin township, and on
Tuesday of this week he was served
with summons to appear and defend
himself in di7trict court. 1t is more
than probable that .he case will new
er be noticed for trial" as 1t is gen.
orally believed that the methods now
being resorted to are no more than a
big bluff and an effort to scare the
cash out Of the farmers. II that is the
case, the Nonpartisan league has bum
ped up against the wrong man, for
Mr.. Lewis declares that he will fight
the case to standstill. He has en-
gagged Attorney Albert Running, of St
James, and viii be prepared to give
the league or the assignee of its pap
er, all the having they are looking for.

Dumps In State To Be Reclaimed
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.I
Htbbing, MINI, january LIKE
claiming Of ~the thousands or square
acres OF abandoned mining claims
and ore dumps on the Minnesota
spruce trees is the plan of the Min
nesota state forestry department
which is seeking the assistance OF
the various local civil and CONNER
cial organizations on the ranges.
As they now stand the yawning
gaps of the abandoned open pit
mines, the unsightly underground
mine properties and the bare ore
dumps are an eyesore and are
sentable scenery along the ranges,
according to proponents of the plan.
The forestry department believes
/ 1t can repair the topograhy OF this
region as well as turn otherwise non
productive tracts into valuable for
ested areas. 1t is pointed out that
operation of this plan along system
attic basis would result in the rehab-
ilitation of this sightless property
Just as rapidly as it is abandoned by
the mining concerns.
Ornamentation Of the ore dumps
was first undertaken last summer.
Little work was accomplished, how
ever. Several tracts in the vicinity
of Buhl and Kinney were utilized in
the initial activity. 1t developed that
the trees thus planted were put In
the ground too late in the season and
that the wrong kind of earth was
used to give the roots start.
The forestry department furnished
the trees. Should the plan prove
feasible as many persons have con-
tended, the state forestry department
