A N Empire Ijnis of 1n-

The man who puts his

you one 500 Empire

paying 79o. A l0-year

We likewise believe you
will agree as to the

Mems Club Hears
Ben F. Benson
SPEAKER AD-
DRESSES LARGE COMPANY
AT SUPPER FRIDAY.

The regular meeting of the Mems
Club was held at the Methodist Church
last Friday evening, supper for the
ocassion being served by committee
of the women of the church. The
speaker for the evening was Ben F.
Benson of Minneapolis president of
the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
and also president of the State Young
Mems Christian Association.
At the request of F. G. Hubbard,
president of the Club, the speaker was
introduced by W. H. Gold who has
known him since boyhood. Mr.. Ben
son talked on the present day depres-
sion and on the constant demand for
relief from present conditions. He
made it plain to his hearers that the
business and financial situation is the
natural outcome of the war and that
no one class nor organization nor busi-
ness was at fault more than any other.
He also showed the uselessness of the
hope that the situation could be entire
ly relieved by any legislation, however
wise. While Americas condition is
serious, it is happy indeed compared to
the situation of European countries,
stated the speaker, and he advised a
policy of courage and optimism, a re-
turn to idealism and to the acceptance
of the teachings of Christ from which
the world has sadly wandered. His
talk was appreciatively received by
his auditors

State Helps With
City Paving
REDWOOD FALLS ONE OF TOWNS
TO BENEFIT BY SUPREME
COURT RULING.

The state supreme court has come
to the relief of sixteen Minnesota
towns and cities which bore part of
the expense of paving trunk highways
through to the city or town limits are
entitled to be reimbursed by the state
for the costs. The court ordered that
refunds shall be made through the
various county boards where cities
entitled to the money are located.
This decision came as result of an
action brought by the city of Waseca
to collect for paving done on trunk
highway. The state refused to pay
the costs, the city appealed to the dis
trict court and was denied their de-
mand for reimbursement. Albert Lea
and Litchfeld joined with Waseca in
appealing the case to the state sup
RENE court. As result of the decis-
ion of the court, favorable to the cities
Waseca will receive $20,687 from the
state and Albert Lea and Litchfield
SGT 800 and $49,944 each respectively.
Numerous other cities are affected
by the ruling, among them: Redwing,
Pennington, Luverne, Worthington,
Marshall, st. James, Madelia, Tracy,
Crookston, Alexandria and Redwood
Falls.

Err; FIRST TO FILE.

The first and so far, the only poll
tical candidate to file for the coming
primary election to be held next June
is H. w. Shoemaker who filed last
week as candidate for the county trea-
surership. Mr.. Shoemaker was a can,
didate two years ago and made ver~
close race, being beaten by c. V.
Everett. Mr.. Everett has held the Of
fee for several terms with high de-
gree of efficiency. While he has net
filed yet is understand that he will
again be candidate. There will pro-
badly be at least one more candidate
for this office since the friends of w.
A. Hauk throughout the county are in
sistent that he become rival of Mr..
Shoemaker and Mr.. Everett. Mr..
Hauk is a new entrant irto COUNT
politics and his wide acquaintance in
the county presages a lively race fcr
his opponents. Thus far Mr.. Hauck
has not not intimated what his course
would be.
While prophecies and counter pro-
phecies are rife on every street corr
er. very little definite action has been
taken in the matter of county politics.

Poultry School
February 10Th
PROF. CHAPMAN OF UNIVERSITY
TO SPEAK; FARM BUREAU TO
HELP CHICKEN RAISERS.

A one day Poultry School will be
held in the basement Of the Farmers
State Bank of Redwood Falls, Febru-
ary 10 commencing promptly at l o.
clock sharp. The School is being held
with the view of assisting farmers and
other people keeping poultry to get
more out of the industry.
By actual investigation, it is found
that in Redwood County almost 500
Of the hens are improbable and con-
seouently are kept at loss rather
than q gain. Then too numerous dis
eases are claiming heavy death toll
in poultry. tuberculosis especially is
rather severe and is rapidly gaining a
foothold. Besides diseases, the mat
ter Of house construction, correct feed
ing. and general management of the
flock, there will be instructions given
in culling.
Prof. Chapman, poultry specialist of
the University is coming to asst Mr..
gEreu in the work.
This is a mighty good move on the
part Of the Farm Bureau and it is
hoped that every person keeping
chickens will make an effort to attend
this school and get practical know
ledge and most up-to-date information.

Dramatic Club
to Present Play
THE FORTUNE HUNTER CHOSEN
AS PLAY TO BE GIVEN BY
LOCAL TALENT SOON.

The Dramatic Club will present The
Fortune Hunter within the next few
weeks, the definite date to be announc-
ed very soon. While there have been
a few changes in the personal of the
Club, there are enough of the old
members still present to assure the
success of the undertaking. This or
ganization has very ably given sever
al heavy plays in the past and their
coming production is looked forward
to with eagerness by the members of
their former audiences.
In selecting The Fortune Hunter
the Club has been happy in finding a
play adapted to amatuer work, easily
staged and one of a most pleasing
character. The proceeds for the play
will be given to the women's clubs of
the city to assist in defraying the ex-
pense of the meeting Of the Federated
Women's Clubs of the Second Congress
sional District, this meeting to be held
in Redwood Falls early next June.

teachers of the County at the Redwine
Circle meeting last Saturday afternoon
in response to an invitation from Miss
Fern Kennedy, superintendent Of
county schools. Over thirty teachers

profession and is most commendable.

Women UrgedtoGo
to Polls March II
LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
ISSUES DECLARATION OF
POLICY.

Minnesota women are urged, in a
declaration of policy just issued by the
Minnesota League of Women Voters,
to give the new law, providing for pre-
liminary party conventions, fair and
full trial. Not that the league has
abounding confidence in the workings
of the law-the declaration indicates
the league is waiting to be shown by
experience. But it urges all women
to take part in the delegate elections
March IA, and to see that in each cleo
tion district the names of we'll qualifi-
ed women appear on the ballot as
candidates.
The declaration of the state league
is signed by Miss Marguerite M. Wells
as president. Miss Wells explains
that the league did not issue any state
ment of policy last year as to its at
titude toward conventions that took
place then. This, Miss Wells says,
was simply because the conventions
were not legal parts of the states
election machinery" But since the
legislature has passed the new law, the
league thinks it wise to acquaint all

Drive Launched to
Stop Foreclosures
FARMERS FACE LOSS IF CREDI-
TORS INSIST ON PAYMENT,
FARM BUREAU WARNS.
"Don't Foreclose. +"

l.
That was the warning issued last
week by the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation, in statement which de-
clared that public welfare as well as
the interests of the individual creditor
make farm mortgage foreclosures "at
least unwise and at most disastrous. /"
In hundreds of cases, farmers will
be unable to meet interest payments
due on their farm mortgages in March,
the federation said, in spite of the fact
that the loans themselves are absolute
ly sound. In large number of farm
mortgages, there is a clause which
makes the whole sum of the mortgage
fall due when the farmer misses an
interest payment.
"The individual creditor may feel
that it is right and even necessary for
him to foreclose on the mortgage he
holds" the federation said "But the
interest Of the whole public, and his
own business interest as well, de-
mands that he stop to consider the
effect on the economic situation if ev-
cry creditor took advantage of pre-
sent conditions to close out every
farmer who fails to meet his inter-
est payments or payments on contract
for deed
"a policy of wholesale foreclosure
would mean tremendous setback to
Minnesota agriculture. 1t would take
away from scores of young, progress
sive farmers the land on which they
are beginning to make homes and de-
velop up-to-date farms. 1t would de-
stroy what confidence remains, and
would delay still longer our recovery
from present conditions"
In some counties, it has been sug-
gested that a special session OF the
legislature should be called to strike
out the mortgage provision making
the whole loan fall due when an in
terest payment is missed and also to
lengthen the redemption period to two
years.
Eighty per cent of the farms in our
county are mortgaged,' says one let
ter received by the state farm bureau.
"Public opinion must be aroused to
the situation 1t is the only way to
prevent intense mental suffering on
the part of thousands of responsible
farmers who face foreclosure, and who
will have to labor for a year not know
ing whether they will lose their
homes"
A resolution passed by the third an
nual convention of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation deplores "the
disposition on the part of a great
many who are in the farm loan busi-
ness to take advantage of the fnan-
cial stringency by unduly raising their
interest rates, and by asking exces-
sively high commissions. In spirit
of cooperation, it says, where there is
question of the adequacy of the Sc
curity, "we respectfully submit plea
for the delinquent interest, so long as
the safety of the loan is not in jeo-
pardy."

New Pope Is
Elected Monday
OF MILAN Sue
CESSOR TO BENDICT XIV
NOW Plus XI.

Rome, February 6.-Cardinal Achille
Ratti, archbishop of Milan, was pro-
claimed elected pope in succession to
the late Benedict XIV this morning.
He has taken the name of Plus XI.
Thousands waiting in front of st.
Peters for the wisp Of smoke which
would tell of the election of a new
pope or the failure of the Sacred col
lege to reach decision gave mighty
shout at 1870 o'clock when a thin
wisp of smoke came from the chimney
leading from the Sistine Chapel. 1t
was then known that the Catholic
church had once more duly elected
pontiff.
Accepts The Election
As soon as the two-thirds vote for
Cardinal Ratti had been verified, Car
dinal Vannutelli, as dean of the sac
red college, arose and proceeded to
the throne of the chosen one, accom-
panied on either side by Cardinals
Logue and Bisleti, respectively deans
of the cardinal priests and the cardi-
nal deacons. Cardinal Ratti was ask
ed in Latin by Cardinal Vannutelli, in
accordance with custom If he accepted
the election to be supreme pontiff,
and the new pope answered with the
formal "since it is the will of God,
must obey"
Then the purple canopies over the
thrones of the cardinals were let down,
one by one only that over the new
pontiff remained.

Delhi Decides on
Fire Protection
VILLAGE ORGANIZES DEPART
MENT AND ORDERS EQUIP
MENT TO CHECK LOSS.

Three fires in the village of Delhi
within the past thirty days have made
the residents realize that some sort of
fire protection is absolutely necessary.
To supply this necessity a special
meeting of the Commercial Club was
held last Thursday evening and steps
were taken to organize a department
and to order equipment.
The meeting was well attended by
the representative men of the village
all alive to the Importance of the sub
ject which they had met to discuss.
R. V. Ochs was made chairman and
R. G. Rogers secretary of the meeting
After considerable discussion of the
question. J. H. Housman was made
Fire Chief and M. Christianson assist
ant Chief. These appointments were
ratified by the Village council. Officers
of the new department for the ensuing
year were then elected as follows: R.
V. Ochs, president; H. C. Engeman,
Secretary, and ]. C. Stensrud, Trea-
surer. Men of the department were
assigned posts as follows: D. Monson
and VIM. Housman, nozlemen, A. Bor-
itz and M. DeGraff, hook and ladder.
Other members of the department are
Geo. Leslie, C. j. Hallum, C. Johnson,
Gus Johnson, Lloyd Trumm and Lud
Flore.
A chemical engine has been ordered
and will arrive in Delhi very soon.
This with the ladders, pals, and other
articles of equipment will furnish an
excellent foundation for the depart
ment which Delhi realizes she needs
very badly. 1t is also one more sign
of the progressiveness of the Redwood
County village
