And Securities; Robbers y
W.T. s... Cause No Alarm VI

Faribault,. MINI. Nov. 29-Bank
robbers early today looted the State
Bank. of Lonsdale, Is miles north
west of here, and escaped with $685.
600 in CASH. and securities The
robbery was not discovered'until the
opening hour at $500 this morning.
Officials of the bank said the
robbers took about $1,000 in cash
and $4,000 in bonds and negotl-
able paper. ~. III <.
/ The yeggs gained entrance by
prying open a rear window. They
carried an acetylene burning outfit
and burned holes in two doors Of the
safe. There was no noise or dis
.turbance of any kind to arouse any
Of the 5000 residents Of the sleep
ing village. There was no night
,watchman or night marshal on guard
since only one other robbery has ;oc-
Cured in Lonsdale in the last year
and that was minor one.
No one saw an automobile or sus-
picious characters about the town.
The bandits evidently used an auto
mobile, however, for q considerable
amount of pennies, nickles and
dimes were discarded near where
the r highway crosses the Milwaukee
tracks east of town. A. farmer
found the coins there this morning.
> A farmer west Of town reported
being disturbed in the night when
his dogs were aroused. He looked
out but could see no one. The Rice
county sheriff and towns in all di-
rections were notified of the rob-
berry when it was discovered, but
no one had a description Of the ban
dit car or even knew the number of
the bandits - So - T. = H..

LEGISLATIVE BLANK TO
FARM BUREAU MEMBERS
Farmers Vote on Agricultural
Issues Before Legislature
And Congress as Well
(Farm Bureau News Service)

(Farm Bureau News Service)
A statewide referendum is being
taken by the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation to determine the posi-
ton of it's members on important
issues affecting agriculture that are
to come before the legislature and
Congress.
F. l.. French, secretary, has sent
to all county directors and other To-
cal leaders, supply Of blanks, per
pared in the fern of questionable,
which, when filled out, will give the
Federation, especially its legislative
committee, accurate information as
to the desires of it's membership.
1t will take approximately three
weeks to complete the referendum.
Allowing a week to compile returns,
a complete recapitulation will be
ready by the time the legislature
opens.
The questionable will be submitted
at every local farmers meeting to
be held this month. Each question
will be submitted for discussion,
after which a vote will be taken and
recorded - -T =, .g'zt
The questionable, which follows
closely that submitted to legislative
candidates a month ago, is divided
into two parts. One deals with ques-
tons before the state legislature
and the other with issues that will be
decided by Congress. Results Of
the congressional referendum will be
sent to the Washington office of the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
On state legislative issues the fed.

The county agents office cannot

ty without a great loss to the coun-
ty," said Mr.. Duxbury, in speaking
to the directors of the Civic and

been of greatest Importance to the

the farmer.
!. "The farmer has been taught how
to use explosives and if he doesn't
know, his. neighbor will be glad to

LABOR PROFITEERINC :.
! DRLO ORD BY HOWARD
National Farm Bureau Head
Sees Better Prices for
Farmers Who Stick -
(Farm Bureau News Service)

(Farm Bureau News rService)
J. r. Howard, president Of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
in an address delivered ait the Uni
versity Farm, St. Paul last week,
said labor had no more right to pro-
fiteer than has capital. Mr.. Howard
attended the second annual meeting
of the Conference for the Prevention
Of grain rust. -, ]
Mr. Howard thinks the farmer who
sticks to his industry soon Will pc
rewarded by an era Of higher prices.
Mr.. Howard told of a former sena--
tor now practicing law in Chicago,
who, in remodeling his home, had
employed several plasterers. These
workmen were being paid SIG a
day, extra pay for work on Saturday
and Tuesday. .I believe" he said in
telling Of the circumstance, chat
these laborers have right to a fair
wage, hut such obvious profiteering
is ,intolerable. These high wages in
the last analysis, fall on the farmer,
who cannot pass them to others:
Mr.. Howard said he was looking
forward to shortage Of farm labor
with corresponding decreased pro-
duction. This step in the cycle will
be followed by higher prices for
those who stick to the farm. -
The Farm Bureau presidenEtold
the delegates that grain rust is a
serious menace in the wheat growing 8
sections, just as is the cotton boil
weevil in the South and the European
corn borer in the corn producing
states. -s

(By special wire from the

Washington, Noy. 29-The
House passed the Ship Subsidy
bill late this afternoon.

Washington, Nov. 29-The ShiI
Subsidy bill, with it's fate constitut
ing the first out and out test of Pres.
ident Harding's leadership over the
republican majority in congress, will
come to final vote in the house late
today with the outcome very mucF
in doubt.
Administration leaders throwing
every ounce of power behind the
President, profess confidence the
Subsidy will pass by not less thar
20 votes. Opponents claim they have
the bill beaten by at least 10 votes
These estimates, based on the polls
made by the contending factions
indicate how close the vote will be
The thing that was worrying botf
sides was the fact that SO or &C
members are not on hand 70 vote
although kilograms have been sent
out calling in all absentees there un.

A number of executives have tried
to secure enactment of shipping aid
without even getting it through one
branch of congress.
Former President Taft twice ap'

But regardless Of whether it car
