Vets Urged to Get
Discharge Papers
OF FED ERAL
BONUS WILL MEAN THAT SER
VICE MEN NEED DISCHARGE.

The Red Cross wishes to urge ex-
service men who have lost certificate
if discharge to make application for
certificate in lieu of discharge imme-
diately, and will gladly assist veter-
ans who desire certificate in lieu in
preparing application blanks. Atten-
tion is directed to this matter in the
event of the Adjusted Compensation
bill becomes law every veteran
making application will be required
to file with his application blank a
certified copy of his honorable dis
charge from the Army, Navy or Mar
inc corps.
Time is also growing short for vet
Grams who have not field claims for
disability under the War Risk act
and all who have not already placed
claims should do so at once.
Veterans are given five years from
the time of their discharge to file these
claims. November 11th marked the
fifth year since the close Of the war
but many men are still eligible to file
not getting their discharge until some
time after the Armistice was signed
Few men were kept in service long
however, and the time will soon be
up.
The American Red Cross is coop
Grating with the Veterans Bureau in
trying to reach the men entitled to
compensation before the time limit
expires. Anyone who has disability
resulting from service in the World
War not properly settled, should get
in touch with the Red Cross at once

SO Cent Tariff on
Butter Is Proposed
VITAL TO MINNESOTA DAIRY.
MAN, SAYS JOHN BRANDT,
CREAMERIES' PRESIDENT.

A movement to obtain an emergency
tariff of 20 cents pound on imported
butter with corresponding increases
on other dairy products has been start
ed by John Brandt of Litchfield, pre-
sident of the Minnesota Cooperative
Creameries Association.
Mr.. Brandt recently held a series
of conference at Washington and re-
ceived so much favorable reaction to
his proposal that he is confident of
success, if dairy farmers will back
his plan up with urgent requests that
legislation be passed.
Recent price decreases for dairy
products have been due to flood of
products from Denmark and other
European countries. Foreign sales
agencies find the American market
ing profitable, despite the present
tariff of cents. The rate of exchange
which helps the importer is directly
responsible.
While in Washington, Mr. Brandt
presented the plight of the Minnesota
dairy farmer to President Coolidge
The President has the power on the
advice of the tariff commission to in
crease the dairy products tariff to II
cents. The commission, however.
must make an extensive investigation
To do this will cause delay which
the dairymen can i'll afford to tolerate
After having talked with large
number of congressman, Mr.. Brandt
decided to concentrate on an effort to
obtain emergency legislation. This
will avoid the possibility of opening
the entire tariff question, step which
few members of Congress would con-
slider.
Mr.. Brandt has assurance that pro-
posals to increase dairy products
tariffs will be embodied in bill to be
introduced in few days.

Bonus Bill
Becomes Law
VOTE OF 50 TO 26 in SENATE
OVERCOMES PRESIDENTS
VETO.

The senate Monday overrode Presi-
dent Coolidge's veto of the soldier
bonus bill.
The measure now automatically be-
comes law, the house having taken
similar action. The vote was 50 to
26 to overthrow the veto.
Several republican organization
leaders joined with a strong demo-
cratic line-up in upsetting the veto
on vote which was in doubt until
the last minute
The vote was two more than the
necessary two-thirds majority. Presi-
dent Coolidge himself made an
eleventh hour effort to stem the tide
of support for the bill He summon
ed seven republicans favoring it to
the White House but was unable to
swing over enough votes to accom-
plish its defeat.
Thirty republicans, twenty-seven
democrats and the two farmer labor
senator's voted to override the veto.
Nineteen republicans and seven de-
mOcrats voted to sustain the presi-
dent.
Senators Ladd and Frazier, republi-
cans, North Dakota, voted to over
ride the veto, as did Senators john
son and Shipstead, farmer-labor, Min
nesota.
The senate voted virtually without
debate. An almost absolute silence
prevailed during the roll call and as
the result was announced cheering
broke out In the crowded galleries.

Is per cent over local prices to pro-
ducers who are members of cOopera-
tive associations in districts that are
now operating. This is an established
fact, not heresay. 1t is not an in
fiated promise or bait for new mem-
bers. 1t merely shows what produc-
ers can do and are doing when they
get together with large enough
volume to assure it success.
The grading that is now being done
by dealers and merchants is not grad
ing to true grading standard. 1t is
grading in the grading idea. Produc-
ers that fall for their present grading
principles are falling into snare set
for just such producers. They are
buying on two grades only, which is
invariably deci d ed dissemination
against the producers.
The Minnesota Cooperative Egg and
Poultry Producers Associations base
established grading plan that is just
to every producer. Eggs are placed
in two classes, whites and browns.
Weight per dozen is the basis of price.
Grading rules are as follows:

Work
IS Demonstrated
A RTI c LES OF HANDICRAFT
SHOWN AT HIGH SCHOOL;
DELEGATES REPORT.

If any of the patrons of the Red
wood Falls high school have been
sceptical as to the value of the voca-
tional courses offered by the school
a visit to the exhibits made last Tues
day evening should certainly prove an
antidote. The work of three depart
ments, the Agricultural, the Manual
Training and the Home Economics,
was interestingly displayed and de-
monstrated. In addition to these eX-
hibits instructive reports from the re-
cent National Parent Teachers Con-
vention held in ST. Paul were given
by the delegates from the local As
sociation, Mrs. j. H. Jackson and
Mrs. C. L. Farver Music for the oc-
casion was furnished by the orchestra
under the direction of Geo. Bittrich,
and Mrs. w. H. Ball, the president
closed the program with we'll
chosen message. The students of the
Home Economics department served
frappe and small cakes during the
evening.
Under the direction of A. F. Dahl
berg, the head of the Agriculture De-
partment, the boys of this course
made two interesting demonstrations.
One group, consisting of Leland Laid
law and Cecil Hart showed by charts
and demonstrations the proper opera
tion of an incubator. The second
group consisting of Floyd Lewis, Tom
Dennistoun and John Anderson de-
monstrated the correct testing OF mix
and cream.
A varied and very excellent display
of articles made in the Manual !raihe

admired by those attending the exhic

May Fete Wednesday

The children of the grade. schools,
under the direction of Miss Opal Gel
bier, will hold their annual May Fete
Wednesday afternoon, May 21st at
three thirty o'clock. Usually this
festival is held on the lawn of the
grade school building, but because of
the building being done there, it will
this year be held on the courthouse
lawn. All the parents and friends of
the children are asked to be present
The program consists of a number of
pretty dances and drills executed by
the children, with the crowning of the
May Queen as the big event of the
program. The cold and damp weather
has made it very difficult for the chill
dren to get in as many rehearsals as
Miss Geibler wished them to have
and that they have persevered in
carrying out the plans made for warm
sunny weather entities them to a
large attendance at their program.
In case the weather of Wednesday af-
ternoon is inauspicious, the fete will
be held at the same hour and at the
same place Thursday afternoon.

Minnesota Boy
Loses Midwest
X. VALDIMAR BJORNSON WINS
IN NORTHWEST FINALS BUT is
FIFTH AT KANSAS CITY.

X. Valdimar Bjornson, of Minneota,
who represented the Mankato district
in the northwest finals of the cOnsti-
tuition essay Grafton contest that was
held at ST. Paul Friday night, May
9th, won first place against six other
youthful orators. He took fifth place
in the midwest finals, two of the
Judges placing him second and the
other one placing him fifth.
In being awarded the first place
in, the northwest finals, Bjornson in
addition to winning the cash prize of
81 900 also had the distinction of COM
peting in the midwest finals at Kans-
as City The winner of this last con-
test will be given an opportunity to
compete at Washington, when Pres
ident Calvin Coolidge will act as one
of the judges and first cash prize of
$4,000 will be given away.
! Bjornson was unanimously given
ne first place by the judges in the
Mankato district contest, which was
held Friday, April 25. He received
a cash prize of $50. His expenses to
st. Paul were betrayed.
Four states were represented IN
the northwest finals, North and South
Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin,
which states were made up by seven
districts. One of the seven contes-
tants was a girl, Miss Margaret Revell
of Fargo, the only girl to survive the
preliminary contests.
Bjornson has all the qualities Of a
future orator and many of his friends
are not at all conservative in their
prediction of the lads future possiblll-
ties. His delivery at Mankato in the
district contest astonished and thrill
ed the crowd. 1t likewise did at ST.
Paul last week. The decision of the
judges were greeted with loud ap-
plause and cheering. Minnesota's s son
was the popular idol of the evening"

Don't Fail to
Buy Poppies

Annual Poppy Day will be
observed in Redwood Falls Sat
urday, May Oath, the American
Legion Auxiliary having charge
of the sale locally. Every Am
erican Citizen will show his or
her Americanism by purchasing
a poppy and wearing it in
memory of the boys in Flanders.
These poppies are made by
the service men in hospitals,
who are paid one cent for each
poppy made. After this one
cent is paid, all proceeds from
the sale are spent on the dis
abled men or their families. No
stated sum is asked for these
poppies-and you may drop into
the sellers box anything from a
ten cent piece to 4 hundred
dollar bill. Your patriotic con-
science must be your guide in
the matter. The cause is such
a just one and the purchase of
a poppy such a legitimate reason
for the expenditure of money
that it is hoped the receipts may
be large.
Business houses are asked to
appropriately decorate their
windows for the day, and to give
whatever other assistance is in
their power to the Auxiliary
members who are so anxious to
make big success of the pro-
ject.

Celebrate at Olivia

Olivia is creating substantial pro
minence this summer in sponsoring
huge celebration, an Old Settlers Re
union, on June 11th, 18th, and 18th.
The affair is being planned as 8
Homecoming for all Old Settlers and
former residents, and the entertain,
ment of all visitors.
Parades, shows, free street attrac-
tions, baseball games, street sports
and open air dancing every evening
are being arranged for such enter
tainment.
Enormously large crowds are ex
pected to attend, and it is very likely
that large number of people from
this vicinity will take in the celebra

yet no state or federal grades are
established. However, the above
grades are proposed as federal grade.
An. effort is being made to establish
thens~at this time.
To show that a sizer is inaccurate
the State Department of Agriculture
shows that sizer l SIS inches in
diameter will take eggs from 1875 to
24.5 OF. per dozen and be exactly this
diameter. The grade by weight is
the only right way to grade eggs.
CAUTION:-Do not sell eggs on a

Grading of Eggs
Is important
COUNTY AGENT GIVES SUGGES
TIONS ON MARKET
METHODS.

Decidedly greater attention is being
given of late to the egg grading idea
since the farmers have been talking
cooperative marketing and grading
This is naturally expected as this is
the dealers and merchants means of
discouraging the farmers in handling
their own products.
True grading and speedy market
ing of a strictly fresh product is a
principle tried and proven in several
districts in Minnesota and several
other states as a paying proposition.
This is clearly shown by an increased
average net return of 10 per cent to
