Will Rush the Intermed-
late Credit Bank Plans
st. Paul to be Home of New Insti.
tutiOn-Bill Big Farm Bureau
Victory

Passage of the intermediate farm
credit bill is called the greatest leg
islative victory ever won for farm
ers by Gray Silver, Washington Rep
resentative of the American Farm
Bureau Federation.
"There is no doubt" he says, "but
that the bill would have died, had it
not been for the prompt and united
support of the Farm Bureau. Credit
facilities provided will adequately
meet demand that long has been
foremost in agricultural circles. Il
farmers use the new system, as they
should and I am sure will, they viii
find themselves very nearly on a
basis of equality with other business
men,"
Steps were, taken last week to put
the terms of the bill into effect. E.
G. Quamm, president of the Fedora
Land Bank of St. Paul returned from
conferences at Washington last week
prepared to aid leaders in forming the
new institution. Headquarters will be
established in st. Paul. While the
intermediate credit bank have indie
pendent financial responsibility and
administration, and separate offices, it
will be aided by the cooperation of
land bank officers.
Loans may be secured by receipts
FOR farm products when placed in
bonded warehouses.
The new institution differs from the
land bank in that credit will be ex-
tended on personal property, rather
than on land. Credit will be given
for productive purposes-raising cat
tie, growing crops, etc. Paper viii
run fom nine months to three years.
The credit bill, as passed, provides
for two farm credit systems. The
first is to be governmentally operated
and capitalized, giving farmers ac-
cess to a great reservoir of moneys
and credits. The second provides fol
privately owned and operated agri-
cultural credit systems. -

Fraternal Organizations
Must Collect Admission Tax
Fact That No Profit Is Expected Does
Not Change Conditions Penalty
Is Heavy

"a great many lodges, fraternal
orders, societies, and clubs seem to
have the impression that they do
not have to collect tax on tickets of
admission sold by them, either be-
cause they are exempt from tax on
dues, or because they are non-profit
making organizations" said Collector
of Internal Revenue L. M. Willcuts,
today. Neither the fact that such
societies may be exempt from tax on
dues, nor the fact that no profit is
made or sought, has any bearing
whatever on their liability to collect
tax on admissions" continued Col
lector Willcuts. "It is the purchaser
of admission who must pay the tar
and it is the duty of any person d
organization selling admissions ~te
collect the tax in addition to his adj
mission price. Failure to collect the
tax or failure to state the amount of
tax on each ticket incurs a penalty
of $1,000"
There are certain organizations
which are entitled to exemption from
collection of tax on admissions, the
proceeds of which inure exclusively
to their benefit, but unless such or
CARNATIONS secure an exemption GER
tificate before selling any tickets,
they must collect tax regardless of
their right to claim exemption. The
only organizations which are speci-
fically exempt are American Legion
Posts and Ladies Auxilaries thereof.
Wien either of these organizations
sell admissions, the proceeds of which
lnure to their benefit, it is not re-
CURED that they file an exemption
application. But if some other or,
ganization or person gives an enter
ainment for the benefit of an Am.
erican Legion Post or Ladies Auxil-
airy, both the sponsor and the bene-
ficiary must join in an application
for exemption before selling tickets
without collecting tax. Collector
Willcuts urges all persons or organi-
cations, before selling any admission
tickets, to consult his office as to
their liability as he has no option
under the law except to assert penal
ties when the law is not complied
with in every requirement.
"The tax. on admissions is steadily
growing in this district" said Col
lector Wllcuts, "and it shows an in
creasingly healthy financial condition
when the people have so much money
to spend on recreation. 1t is my de-
sire to maintain this splendid show
ing by collecting tax-not penalties. /"

be. The present officers have had
considerable work to look after the
past year and there is much in sight
and it is not to be wondered at thai
men tire of neglecting their own pri
waite affairs to handle public business
at a stipend of $1,000 a year.
The Herald has made some INJURY
about town and believes there is a
general desire on the part of citizens
that Messrs Bohall, Brown, and Ryd
holm retain their positions if they
can be prevailed upon to do so. They
are more familiar with the work nov
being done in the city than any new
men could possibly be, and while one
is not expected to seriously negiec
ms own affairs to perform his civic
duty, nevertheless the three aldermen
who retire this year owe it to the tax
payers of Sank Centre to allow thei
names to be filed as candidates for
another term.

Village Of Becker Fire
Swept Monday Morning
Fighters From st. Cloud, Clear Lake
and Other Towns Check Fire At
ter Loss of $4,000

Becker, Mimi, March 19.-Four
buildings in the business section OF
Becker were destroyed by fire with
a loss of $4,000.
Tie fire started in the two story
grocery of Harvey Anderson fom an
oveheated stove. 1t spread rapidly to
he barber shop of William Iveson and
The grocery of B. A. Worden, both one
story structures and to the two story
harness shop of E. J. Erickson
These were all frame buildings closely
adjoining. The large building of the
State bank of Becker across an alley
from the harness shop caught fire but
VS. only slightly damaged.
Windows in sotres and buildings
across the street were broken and
cracked by the combination of intense
heat from the fire and below zero tenn
peratures. The telephone building di-
rectly across the street had every win
dow broken.e 4,
Fire apparatus was rushed from st.
Cloud, Clear Lake and Big Lake. The
pumping engine mounted on a truck
sent from st. Cloud proved useless be-
cause there are no hydrants in Beck
er, but the chemical trucks from Clear
Lake, Big Lake and Becker worked to
advantage. The fire burned an hour
and a nlf.
Fifty citizens formed bucket bri-
gade from nearby wells and assisted
IN saving the bank.
A % mile northwest wind aided the
quick spread of the blaze. The tenn
perature at the time of the fire was
10 degrees below zero.

Comparatively New Care.

The. history of the game of rack
cts, the worlds championship of
which was recently disputed in New

for it only came into vogue early in
the Nineteenth century. Dickens re.

in connection with Fleet prison. where
fnsolyent debtors enliyened the mo-
notony of their life by playing
against single wall. 1t was mostly
played at the back Of taverns.

derived from the Arabic ra'hat, mean

ENTERTAINMENT POSTPONED

The Cantata, "The Brownies Whis-.
pers," which was to have been pre-
sented by the pupils of the Junior
High School, at the Junior High Aud
ltorium, this Thursday evening, has
been unadvoidably postponed because
OF the illness of Miss Lund, head of
the music department of the public
school, who has charge of he direce
ton OF the cantata. Under the circum-
stances it will not be possible to give
the entertainment until after Easter
vacation. At this time the date has
not been definitely decided upon, and
will not be until after school is re-
sumed following Easter. "The Brown
les Whispers" will undoubtedly be
the most elaborate entertainment put
on during the year, under auspices
of the public schools. Over one hun
dred pupils will take part; the cos
tunes will be dainty and elaborate
and the stage setting will be in keep
ing with the rest of the production.
The Herald will advise the public
when the date has been definitely
settled.

WILL RETIRE AFTER
Is YEARS SERVICE
]. N. McGIBBON is NOT CANDI-
DATE FOR REELECTION TO
SCHOOL BOARD
IS PRESIDENT TEN YEARS
O.. w. DOWSWELL FILES FOR VA
CANCY-P. B. HANSON ALSO
CANDIDATE

After serving the people of the
community for Is years as a member
of the school board, of which he was
president 10 years, John M. McGib-
bon has absolutely declined to become
candidate for reelection.
During Mr.. McGibbon's incumbency
the public schools have made rapid
strides. The Herald does not wish to
be understood as giving Mr.. McGib-
bon entire credit for the erection of
the two splendid buildings which make
up he local public school plant, but
he was leading factor with the other
members of the board in building up
what is generally conceded to be one
of the finest school plants in Mime
sofa in city the size of Sank Gen.
re, outside he Iron Range country.
During the past Is years many of
the districts in territory adjacent to
Sank Centre have been consolidated
with the result that six buses call at
the homes of many farmers for their
children each school day of the year,
and return them safely home at the
close Of the school day, making it
possible for children residing in the
Consolidated districts to enjoy edu-
cational privileges not possible under
other conditions.
Mr.. McGibbon desired to retire from
the board three years ago. His
friends We're about to file his name to
come up for election March 31st this
year when he refused to serve longer.
A man serving on a public board in
cities of the size of Sank Centre for
period of Is years is bound to make
some mistakes and will be criticized
unJustly many times as the public
hastily forges the faithful and valua-
BILE service rendered them. What the
Herald has said about Mr.. McGibbon
is true of the other members of the
board, as they have generally been
unit working for the best interests
of the children and the district.
P. B. Hanson's time also expires
This year but the Herald understands
that he has consented to permit
the filing of his name as candidate
Tor reelection. At the present time
Mr.. Hansen is the president of the
board and the things said about Mr..
McGlbbon are just as applicable to,
Mr.. Hanson.
The Herald is pleased to state that
y. W. Dowswell has filed a S a candi-
GATE to succeed Mr.. McGi1bon. Mr.
Dowswell is one of the wide awake
business men of Sank Centre and is
thoroughly interested in the public
schools. He has the ability and the
enthusiasm to make strong member
OF the board, and the filing of his
name as candidate is being well re-
celved by the people of the district.
he is worthy of election without op-.
position.
