II believe that the day is not far
distant when farms in Minnesota will
be back on their feet as an invest
ment, the center of investment in
terest on a rapidly rising sellers
market.
Every farmer who can wait for
this situation and | believe most
Minnesota farmers can, especially
those who are engaged in part in
dairying will profit greatly by wait
ing.
1T would not surprise me at all if
the next crop of millionaires in this
state would be created among the men
OF reasonable means who are in a po-
sition to buy Minnesota farms at the
bottom of the market and hold them
for the inevitable advancement.
ut is an interesting fact that the
big insurance companies and other
large lenders of money in the East
now consider urban property in the
Mississippi valley the preferred in
vestment of today. More money is
available for first mortgages on Min
neapolis residence property for in
stance than ever before.
Il want to assure the farmers of
the State, however, that their day is
surely coming back and that they
could make no greater mistake than
to dispose of their lands now at the
bottom of the market?

ed in Baltimore yesterday by De-
tective OBricn when he stepped
from prison. where he had served a
year. and brought here to answer an
indictment charging him with having

Foster, according to the police. is
known under numerous aliases,
among them DIR. Woods. DIR. Smythe
and DIR. Hughes. Police say Foster
went to England when he was a
youth. He disputes the correctness
Of police records of his alleged
doings there.
Baltimore police said the prisoner
served time there on charges of hav-
ing obtained three suit patterns from
merchants without paying for them,
getting them from porters sent to
make deliveries.
The patterns were brought here
and. it is charged, the suits were
made at Omohundro's establishment.
