Chaldean Scholar
Appeared Here
NATIVE LECTURER GIVES IN.
TERESTING TALK ON RELIGION
OF HIS PEOPLE.

Sheik Rafel Emanuel, Chaldean lee
turer and scholar, lectured at the Pres
byterian church Sunday morning. He
mas spent many years in America as a
student and lecturer having appeared
here before on the Chautauqua plat
form. He spoke Sunday of the relig-
ION and customs of his people.
Chaldeans are natives of the country
known to us as Mespotamia. They
are the direct decendents of Abraham,
Moses and other patriarchs of early
Bible times and the Jews, Syrians and
Turks are allbranches of the Chaldean
race. Their bible. is absolutely un-
evised and is laborously copied from
time to time on sheepskin. The priests
are the only ones having copies of i.
and it is written in the early Chald-
can tongue. The bible serves as their
book of laws, their history and their
literature. They have no courts and
follow the old bible law of "an eye for
m eye and tooth for tooth" to the
letter which results in many feudS
between families. Their temple is
built like those described in the old
testament. 1t has two courts, one for
iifC LiSh Pf iCSIS anu OIc LUZ LIE "UT-
shippers. The Chaldeans do not observe
Sabbath day but every day is day
of worship for them. They kneel de-
voutly in prayer three times daily, al
sunrise, at noon and at sundown. They
always face the east when they wor-
hip after the custom of the early
christians. The customs observed by
the Chaldeans are the same as those OF
.he people thousands of years before
Christ. With the advent of mission
aries into the country the people and
their religion are slowly becoming
modernized but thev are loath to give
the customs and traditions of their
fathers.
Sheik Rafel sang some of the re-
''~ious songs of the high priests of
lis native land and gave his audience
n opportunity to ask anv question
hey wished at the close of his lecture.

,ds l4NCING PLANS ARRANGED
BY GRAIN GROWERS AGENCY
MEANS BIG EXPANSION.

Farm Bureau officials in all grain
growing counties of Minnesota are
asked to see that every possible bu-
shell of the 1928 crop goes to market
through cooperative channels, in let
ters than went from the state head
quarters at st. Paul last week. The
letter calls special attention to the ar
rangement for financing farmer-own-
ed elevators that has been perfected
by officers of the y. s. Grain Grow
ers' Sales Company of Minneapolis.
This is farmer owned sales agency,
established more than year ago, with
funds supplied by the Farm Bureau.
The financing arrangement, Farm
Bureau leaders say, will relieve hum
dreds of farmer-owned elevators all
aver Minnesota, of all obligations to
commission houses In former years.
commission houses have supplied ele-
vators with operating capital and, in
~eturn, have demanded a practical
monopoly on the elevators business.
Under an arrangement that has
been completed by 4. HI! Hagen, man
NJ of the farmers concern at Min.
neapolis, the new intermediate Cred
It Bank of St. Paul will supply ele-
vators with working capital up to
$4,000, thus enabling them to enjoy
freedom from commission firms hith-
erto unknown.
"Since the announcement of our
financing ARRANGEMENT, cooperative
grain marketing has shown an activity
-ever before known" says Mr.. Hagen.
"Farmer-owned elevators all over the
details and expressing a determina-
ton to shin to the farmers COM
oany. now that they are in position,
financially, to do So"

TWO-THIRDS OF PRECINCTS GIVE
FARMER-LABOR CANDI-
DATE 10000.
REDWOOD CO. FOR JOHNSON.
REDWOOD FALLS GOES FOR
PREUS BY 1870 VOTES; CITY
VOTE LIGHT.

Magnus Johnson was elected Unit
ed States senator to fill the unexpired
term of Senator Knute Nelson in the
special election held Monday. At
twelve o'clock Tuesday it was estimat-
ed that Mr.. Johnson's majority over
Governor Preus, his closest competi-
tor, would be approximately $4,000.
The Minneapolis Journals figures
at noon showed that the returns from
about two-thirds of the precincts in
the state gave Mr.. Johnson a major
ity of 10000. Hennepin County gave
Governor Preus a majority of scant
'ew hundred and Ramsey County gave
Johnson five thousand votes over
preus. The vote for James Carley,
the Democratic candidate was light
throughout the state, many Demo-
Gratis apparently sacrificing their own
party affiliations and their own can
didate in an endeavor to defeat Mr..
Johnson, the radical candidate.
In Redwood County the vote was
extremely light-disgracefully light
n fact. The City of Redwood Falls,
for instance, had a total vote of less
than seven hundred instead of eleven
'r twelve hundred it should have had.
The returns from the County came
in SLOWLY and up until noon only twen-
ty-six of the forty three precincts had
been heard from. These gave Preus
'.1A9. Johnson 1,750 and Carley rs.
Redwood Falls City went for Preus,
living him 467 votes to Johnson's
III and Carley's 80. Redwood Falls
township also. went for Preus. The
'i~ht vote in the towns and villages
8 the County is held responsible for
the Governors defeat-rather than
INV strong radical tendencies on the
part of residents of the County.

A GOOD CONCERT

The La Sale Male Quartet, the
last number on the University
Lyceum Course as presented in
Askov last Thursday evening was
very good. There were in all "a
numbers on the program and the
entertainment lasted one and
one-half hours, pleasing a good
sized audience.
The singing was of 4 high
order and all the songs were en-
joyed, ranging from comical to
classical. The man who sang
first tenor however appeared to
be i'll. at times leaning up against
a table, but in spite of that did
his best. The Sextette from
Lucia and Tales of Hoffman were
perhaps the Quartet numbers
most enjoyed.
The tone quality of the bells
did not compare with the singing
but their work with the bells
was very clever, showing skill
and accuracy.
The first bass singer who was
also the pianist, scored a great
hit when he sang MY Sister
Kate, playing his own accomp-
animent Sister Kate had turned
down everybody from Douglas
Fairbanks to local bachelors all
for the love Of Mike, and was
taking in washing all for the love
of Mike.
