INCREASED CREDIT
FOR FARMERS

St. Paul. Dec. 28.-Increased credit
facilities for rural banks and farm
ers through the Federal Reserve
bank system was recommended by
Wisconsin delegation before the joint
congressional committee on short
time rural credits here today.
The committee, of which Repre-
sentative Gilbert Haugen of Iowa is
chairman opened a two day hearing
today for grain growers. Later ses-
sions will be held for livestock rails
ers at Kansas City and cotton grow
ers at Atlanta, at dates soon to be
set.
A QUESTIONABLE sent to 610 Wis
consin farmers shows that 60 percent
of the farmers are forced to sell their
products against their judgment tc
obtain funds, the Wisconsin delega-
ton declared; 80 percent often are
forced to sell milch cows; 48 percent
are forced to sell young dairy cattle:
and GA percent have to sell other
crops.
The Wisconsin delegation, which
was composed of c. p. Norgaard
state commissioner of agriculture;
George McKerrow, president of the
Wisconsin Farm Bureau federation
and H. A. Moelentah, president of
the Bankers Finance corporation of
Wisconsin, made these recommenda-
tions:
First - That the federal reserve
bank system be made more generous
In it's dealings with rural banks and
farmers.
Second-That everything be done
to popularize the farm loan bonds of
the farm land loans system.
Third-That a subsidiary depart
ment of the farm loan system extend
rural credits for one, two and three
year loans.
Fourth-That section 10 of the fed
eral reserve bank law, which bars
farmers paper endorsed by non
member bank as federal reserve Sc
curity. be repealed.
Fifth-That the federal reserve
system has broken down for rural
credit purposes as shown through
the popularity Of the War Finance
corporation, and that it has failed
because 1t does not reach the farmer
with federal credit. To cure this,
state reserve bank in each state
along the line of the federal reserve
bank is advocated with provisions
for short time rural credits to farm
ers and to operate through the 10000
state banks as we'll as the national
banks of larger cities.
The Wisconsin delegation, which
| was the only group heard at the in:-
tial session, declared the federal re-
serve bank system does not extend
proper credit to the farmer and the
funds are "under the domination, IN
many cases, of national banks in
larger cities, which favor industries.

MASKED BANDITS
TORTURE FAMILY
Fiends Torture Family in Attempt to
Force Payment of $4,000. Par
ents Removed to Hospital

Los Angeles, Calf, Jan. 3-Three
masked bandits held the family of C.
F. Churchill prisoners in the Churc-
hill home on North Bunker Hill ave-
nue. for nearly three hours today and
tortured members of the family with
red hot irons and clubs, according to
reports to the police department. He
and his wife reported to the police
that they were sitting in the front
room of their home when three fig
ures, masked and armed, invaded the
room and demanded Mrs. Churchill
to give them $500. When she re-
fused the bandits knocked her to the
floor. Churchill fled to his wife's
assistance and was beaten uncon-
scious. The theieves again question:
ed the couple as to the whereabouts
of the money. Unable to gain in
formation, they heated irons and ap-
piled them to the chests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Churchill.
Two daughters, Florence and Mil
dred, in company with j. j. Jaquay
returned to the home at this time.
They were Immediately held at the
points of guns and marched to the
torture room. The thugs then fore
ed Mrs. Churchill to disrobe, ac-
cording to police, under threats that
they would attack her daughters if
she refused to comply. Churchill
although injured, again sprang to
the aid of his wife ana was clubbed
to unconsciousness with revolver
butt.
Mildred attempted to interfere.
"Shut up or I'll knock your teeth
down your throat, one of the ban
dts told her.
Other threats were made.
The men remained another houi
and then fled threatening to return
and murder the entire family if the
police were notified. Mr.. and Mrs.
Churchill were removed to hospit-
al. They are severely injured, ply
sicians said.

PAXMAN BUILDING
BURNED DOWN
LAST NIGHT
Fire Boys Have Hard Time Fighting
the Fire and Blizzard

An alarm sent in at 3:15 this morn
ing by some one living over the Da-
kota Drug Store, called the fire de-
partment to the Paxman building,
corner of Fifth avenue and Main sts.
No time was lost in answering the
alarm but the fire had spread so fast
that the entire building was in flames
on the arrival of the department, and
they had no chance Of saving the
building. The building and stocks
are total loss, partially covered by
insurance. 1t is estimated that the
building and stock would total be-
tween $4,000 and $23 1000, and we un-
derstand that there was about $18,5O0
insurance carried. There were 2 new
ears stored in the building which were
stored in the building which were
saved. These were cars owned by the
First National Bank, one Nash
Touring car and the other Nash Sc
dan. These were the only salvage
from the fire. The origin of the fire
is unknown and no reasonable theory
has been advanced as yet.
The fire had gained so much head
way before the alarm was sent in that
about all the department could do was
to try and save adjoining buildings,
or rather, buildings in line with the
flames and sparks. This they were
able to do, largely because of the
heavy snowfall of yesterday afternoon
and evening. There was strong
northwest wind which carried sparks
nearly two blocks from the scene OF
the conflagration and only the fact
that roofs were protected by a cover
ing of snow made the efforts of the
department boys successful. About
the only damage to other buildings
which has been reported is some dam
age to the Dakota Drug Store build
ing. This building is directly across
the street from the Paxman building
and the intense heat from the fire
cracked the windows on the north side
The fact that the Paxman building
stood alone on the right Of way with
no baildings adjoining, coupled with
the heavy snow of yesterday, prevent
ed Valley City from experiencing the
worst fire in the history of the city.
The Paxman building is one Of the
old land marks in the city being built
by the firm of Flora & Towne in
1900, who occupied the site for a num-
Der of years in their business of SELL
ing farm implements. Since this firm
has dissolved the building has been
occupied by various concerns. Mr..
Paxman bought the building and stock
of implements this summer from Geo.
Reidman. Mr.. Paxman has been con-
tinuing the implement business and
handling auto accessories since he be-
came the owner. In addition there has
been an automobile repair shop in the
rear operated by A. J. Galloway, and
the Sinclair Refining Co., built gaso-
line and oil service station on the
south side of the building this sum-
mer. These are also total loss.

gers followed. Briggs had not COL
lected fares as yet and loudly objected
to such proceedings. "What's the
matter with ye fellys? Loosin' yer

of Erin floated out through the frosty
atmosphere of early morning so
strong that we dared not disobey.

new COACH
SECURED FOR
TEACHERS COLLEGE
Coach Harvey J. Roels Has Developed
Many Championship Teams
In Past Years ...

In Past Years ..
With the opening of the winter
quarter at the Teachers College Tues
day, January 3, the basket ball squad
will report to Coach Harvey J. Roels:
who comes to our city from the State
of Wisconsin where he was located
for two years.
Mr.. Roels hos, since his graduation
from college, had four years of coach
ing experience--two in Wisconsin, one
in Michigan, all ono in Illinois, and
has developed t'lrea state champion
ship teams, two in b:s.let Lall and one
in football. He also las coached sue
cessful track and baseball teams, and
has studied the major sports under
some of the leading coaches of the
country. For two summers he has
attended the school for Athletic coach
es at the University Of Illinois, and
comes to the local college with rec
ord which insures successful work
here. The students and faculty Of
the Teachers College and basket ball
fans of the city are interested in the
lineup of the college quint, and are
expecting great results of the Teach
ers College this year.
It will be remembered that the To-
cal college made fine showing last
winter and it is said that with the ex-
ception of couple Of places which
will be filled by high school gradu-
ates who are Of championship calibre
the college will have practically the
same lineup as last season. Local
fans were always out in goodly num-
bers last winter to witness the college
games due to the fact that they had
such light team which generally
took the "big boys" off their feet.
With this material at the college this
winter Coach Roels will have some of
the best material in the state to pick
from and will undoubtedly turn out a
championship team. During the war
athletics were somewhat hampered at
the college but they are very rapidly
coming back to their old place in ath-
letics, which is right at the top.
Coach Roels has not yet announced
the college schedule for the year, but
is expected he will have his team
clash with some Of the fastest teams
around the country.
There will, in all probabilities, be a
large squad out at the college this
winter which will give the new Coach
a fine opportunity to pick his teams
With Gunderson contemplating on re-
turning for the winter term, the COM
ing team already has hopes Of being
among the topnotchers.
Should Gunderson return to school
this winter, it will mark his third year
at the college. During the past two
years he has made an excellent show
ing and was elected captain of last
years quint. In addition to Gunder-
son, Personius will probably be seen
in action again. Both of these men
are we'll known to the local fans.
The candidates for positions on the
college team feels that, with the coach
ing staff Of the college augmented by
the securing of Coach Roels, their
chances of being at the head of their
conference are materially increased
and the fans in this city share this
belief with them. DR.. C. E. Allen is
to be congratulated on this latest ac-
QUESTION to the college faculty.
