mortgaged than are free from debt.

cultural statistics, shows that 52.4 per
cent Of Minnesota's 1874 farms are
mortgaged for 27.5 per cent of their

gagged.

port of Field Manager Lindberg of
district No. IA, of the Minnesota Co.
operative Creameries, for last year,

nual meeting here shows an increase
Of from 1872 carloads of butter shipped
in 1922 to 269 carloads shipped in 1928
New RichIand-A recapitulation Of
figures of the seven creamery COM
panies in this village shows that New
Richland is rapidly coming to the
front as a dairying center. Figures
show that 1901, 461 pounds of butter
were shipped from this place in the
past year. Total receipts for the but
ter are $736,2S622.
Detroit-The town of Pelican Rap
ids near here is claiming the co-opera-
tive creamery championship of Min
nesota. The ANIMAL report of the Sec
rotary, just announced, shows that the
creamery made $4,000 worth of but.
ter in 1928 and in addition handled
worth of lggs. A total business for

MinneapoIis-The Studebaker corpo-
ration has subscribed $4,000 to the
$10,000,000 agricultural relief fund.
The reasons given for this subscrip-
ton are first because ut is meritori-
Gus enterprise, and worthy of support
of all business concerned in the pros
perity Of our country, and second be-
cause Of the value we place upon our
dealers in the northwest.
Detroit-Tnterviews with business
men in this vicinity reveal the opinion
that the Chippewa indians, who were
recently paid 500 each from the tribal
funds by the government, are taking
better care of their money than ever
before. There has been few cases
of arrests for. moonshine and a large
number of motor car sales made
among the Indians, but the orgies of
foolish spending that have followed
previous payments in this vicinity are
markedly missing.
distinguishing will soon add an
other feature to an educational sys-
tenn which ranks as second to none
when portable schools may be erect
ed for locations near the village. Be-
cause of the shifting nature Of local.
ties near Hibbing, made necessary by
mining operations, schools must
change over night and the board Of
education has found that building To-
cation schools is resulting in great
outlay without any permanency at
tached to the expenditures.
