Rural Power Line
Serving II Farms
HOUSEWIVES AS WELL AS FAR
MERS PROFIT THROUGH RED
WING DEMONSTRATION.

The Unconstitutional farm power
line, built out of Red Wing, with the
Farm Bureau, the Minnesota Agricul-
tural College, representative of pow
er companies and others interested
cooperating, now is serving IL farm
ers and one school house, according
to Prof. A. E. Stewart, of the Agri-
cultural Physics department of the
college. Mr.. Stewart has general
supervision over the project.
The line was constructed as a de-
monstration to determine whether
farmers could afford to buy current
from central plant and whether a
power company could afford to sell
current at price within reach of
the farmer.
Thus far, the project has shown
that the answer to both these CUES
tions hinges upon the amount of cur
rent that farmers can use to an
advantage. No data as to actual
costs is available as yet.
At present, eight homes have been
supplied with electric fixtures for
lighting purposes. Seven electric
washing machines, three electric in
cubators, three electric brooders,
three electric vacuum cleaners, five
electric ranges, two electric pumps,
four electric separators and five large
motors from to horse power are
being operated on the line. This
apparatus will be doubled within a
short time, as orders have been placed
for SO additional pieces of equipment,

Joint Stock Bank
Closes Fifth Year
ANNUAL MEETING HELD AT
REDWOOD FALLS OFFICE
MONDAY, JUNE 18th.

The annual meeting Of the South
ern Minnesota Joint Stock Land Bank
will be held at its general offices at
Redwood Falls, Minnesota, Monday,
June 16, 1924, at 200 o'clock. The
bank was organized five years ago
this month and has built up volume
of business amounting to over $685.
100000, invested in 33-year first
mortgage farm loans and Government
Bonds. Over $500,000.00 has been
paid in on the principal of the original
loans, as provided for in every mort
gage-thus increasing the margin of
the banks security. With, its bonds
outstanding for 20 to 80 years, this
insures desirable earnings capacity
for the banks stockholders.
The territory which the Redwood
Falls institution serves had very
good crop last year and the prospects
for this year are equally as good, if
not better. Regardless of this fact,
many farmers are not making much
more than a comfortable living, due
to the high prevailing taxes and the
increased cost of his necessities. AS
a result the farmer is, and rightly
81, very CduliouS III diI HIS eApeIlul-
lures, and with the deflation in prices
Of his necessities which is gradually
coming about, his future is assured.
Due to these conditions, the policy
of the banks officers has been one of
conservatism the past year, and in
stead of expanding the business of
the bank, all of their energies were
devoted in taking good care of the
business in hand.3s This policy will be
continued as long as present condi-
tions in agriculture prevail.

Primary Election
Settled June is
YOUR VOTE is IMPORTANT; !;
PARTY CANDIDATES TO BE
SELECTED NEXT TUESDAY.

Perhaps one of the most significant
statements made during these tumul-
tuous days of political turmoil is that
the present condition of corrupt poll
tics is due to the citizens lethaigy in
the matter of voting, for any man
elected by a minority does not care
snap of his fingers for the majority
who do not vote. We, the American
people, are chronic grouches about
political affairs. We 'let George do
it" and then proceed to set up call
of corrupt politics, inefficient govern
ment, and the failure of the people
to secure Justice. 1t has been said
that voting is a privilege but any
thinking person must admit that 1t
is a DUTY. You as one of the body
polite of our government are directly
responsible for the present state OF
affairs. If you are true American
citizen you will exercise your right
of the ballot on June 16 when you
have the right to select your candl-
date. An efficient government can
only be secured by electing efficient
officials. If you do not take your
part in the government you are
Creating d Stdtc VI all ali "hCASiii
corruptness will bore into the very
heart of our government. Your
DUTY is to VOTE on JUNE 16.
The main defense Of our constitu-
tions are our Supreme courts. In
Minnesota we have Supreme Court
with record of efficient and notable
service as result of efficient men in
office. On June Is three justices
will come up for denomination.
They are: Chief Justice Samuel B.
Wilson, a man who is farmer and
who knows the rural life of Mime
sofa and it's problems and who never
has served any large corporations
a fearless and fairminded Judge;
Royal A. Stone, one of the most bril-
liant men ever serving on the Supreme
Court and who successfully fought
the famous tax case of the railroads
through the U. S. Supreme Court
and finally Andrew S. Holt brilliant
and successful judge. They have
proved their worth and deserve your
vote on June 10.

Salvation Army
Drive Fri, June Is
WORK OF SALVATION ARMY I'M
PORTANT SUPPORT NECES-
SARY FUND DRIVE FRIDAY.

On Friday the 18th the local drive
for funds for the Salvation Army will
take place. The town will be tho
roughly canvassed by committee of
sixty people working under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Wishman who has charge
of this district and the following COM
mittee heads: C. H. Baldwin, chair.
man; w. B. Clement, vice-chairman;
Miss Marie Tolzman, secretary and
H. M. Aune, treasurer.
Minnesota is suffering from the
same ills-social, industrial, mental
and physical al-that confront every
other State of the Union. In the
smaller towns as we'll as in the larger
communities is poverty, unemploy-
ment, destitution, social unrest, moral
evil and horde of other ailments.
The root of the trouble is mental.
Correction of the mental attitude-ef-
fort to uplift the minds of the suffer-
ers,-will aid in large part in max
ing every city and town in this State,
a better place in which to live.
For years the Salvation Army
through its thousand corps and out
posts, three thousand officers and
cadets, has been laboring, not only in
an evangelical way, but in humani-
tartan, social and efficient manner to
do this very thing. The War heighten-
ed the need, the War found the Army
ready to meet it as it had in the past,
and the War brought to all America
an appreciation of the Salvation
Army's human, thorough method and
ability to treat properly and prompt
ly all cases of need and misery
brought to or seeking its doors.
In the last year over $4,000 work
ing girls, earning but small wage
have lived in the Boarding Homes
supervised and directed by the Saliva
tion Army, protected and saved from
the snare of the poorly paid girl, who
is without friends and lacking the
proper training for business life.
More than $4,000 children were given
in to the care of the Salvation Army
in the U. S. alone last year. Little
broken bits of humanity, the men
and women of tomorrow are given a,
chance through the Salvation Army.
S,O63 men, Ex-Convicts were found
jobs, and their families helped and
sustained during the Incarceration OF
the man who because of the Salvation
Army were seeking to be straight
forward, clean, God-fearing citizens.
The Missing Friends Bureau found
2242 persons for poor families and
the Anti-Suicide League officers saw
ed thousands from self-destruction.
The Rescue Homes and Maternity
Hospitals of the Salvation Army look
after their girls for three years, keep
ing the girl and the baby together
and records show that 85 to 80 per
cent make good, living useful, Chris
tian lives and supporting themselves
and their baby honorably. The Home
Service funds are for the support of
this work and is secured annually
through the efforts of local COM
mittee of men and women in every
section of the State. The money re-
mains in Minnesota for it's unfortun-
ates whom the Salvation Army help.
