Holmberg Cites
Ten Points
in Farm Aid
MINNESOTA COMMISSIONER OF
AGRICULTURE SAYS ALL MUST
BE ANSWERED TO STABILIZE
AGRICULTURE.

N. j. Holmberg, Minnesota Com
missioner of Agriculture, and presi-
dent of the National Association of
Agricultural Commissioners and Sec
retaries, in his annual address before
that body in its meeting at Chicago,
has submitted ten questions to his
fellow officials, and consequently to
the country at large, which he says
epitomizes the troubles of agriculture,
and must be answered before agricul-
ture will rest.
In the farm commission appointed
by President Coolidge he sees great
hope of the favorable working out of
many large problems.
Mr.. Holmberg's "ten points" con-
sists of the following questions which
will be of interest to every farmer:
Is American agriculture receiving
the same consideration in the financi-
al world as industry? Is the supply
of capital ample and is the rate of
interest charged the farmers as low
as it can be made considering the
security offered?
Does the protective tariff function
the same in agriculture as in in
dustry? Does the tariff, as now ap-
piled to agriculture, keep the farmer
from coming into competition with
the cheap labor of European countri-
es? How can the principle of the
protective tariff be made to function
for agriculture as effectively as for
industry?
To what extent shall agriculture
sit by and see laws passed restricting
the hours of labor, minimum wage
laws, ETC., making rural labor higher
priced and more difficult to obtain,
and yet have no way of increasing
the price of his product to meet these
demands
Shall agriculture adopt a program
of restricted production rather than
to seek remunerative markets at home
and abroad?
To what extent does restricted i'm
migration affect the price of farm
labor? Are the quotas now fixed by
congress in the interests of American
agriculture and as far as congress
can go and still maintain our Ameri-
can institutions
Shall congress provide govern
mental machinery to aid the American
farmer in disposition of his surplus
production to the best advantage or
shall the American farmer continue
to go it alone through his co-opera-
tive organizations
Are the transportation facilities of
the country equal to the burdens that
have been placed upon them? Are
the rates paid too high? Can the
burden be shifted by making lower
tariffs on bulky farm products and
raising them on manufactured and
finished products?
Shall agriculture continue to bear
the present burdens of taxation, or
shall they be shifted from the land
to more indirect ways of raising re-
venue?
Shall we continue with further re-
clamation policies and bring more
land under cultivation at public ex-
pense, until there is greater demand
for the products now produced
Shall we continue at public expense
to urge American farmers to increase
his herds, to make two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before, and
to stay on the land, regardless Of
whether or not it is profitable, or can
a program of production be devised
which will meet our consumptive
means and still be remunerable to the
farmer?

Johnson To Contest
Schall's Election

Election of Thomas d. Schall as
United States senator will be contest
ed by Senator Magnus Johnson on the
grounds that the corrupt practice act
was violated by the candidate, it is
admitted to by H. G. Teigen, secre-
tary to Senator Johnson, and Senator
Johnson himself.
Teigen was disinclined to discuss
the matter and said that nothing had
been determined. '1 don't know
where the report started" he said.
"As to the corrupt practices act, l
am sure it was violated, but / have
given out nothing about any contest
and 1 am sure Senator johnson has
not either"
"Will you say that there will not
be contest 2" he was asked.

Grade Pupils to
Sing Operetta
December 18th
A CHRISTMAS SECRET, DIRECT
ED BY MISS GIEBLER, TO BE
GIVEN ON STAGE OF NEW
BUILDING WE'D. EVE.

Among the pleasant things that
are to happen soon in Redwood Falls
is the annual Christmas operetta sung
by the children of the first six grades
This year the presentation will be
Wilson's "a Christmas Secret" and it
will be the first entertainment to be
given in the. auditorium of the new
school building. Wednesday, Decem-
Der 17th is the date selected for this
entertainment.
The children of the grade school
have come to look upon the Christ
mas play as very enjoyable part
of the holiday season and their
parents enjoy it even more than
the children. A novel feature this
year is the introduction of many
of the quaint old Christmas carols,
these to be sung by large
chorus of children's voices. The
stage of the auditorium offers a
most attractive setting for the little
entertainment and the new curtain
and other stage fittings will be in
place to add to this attractiveness.
The operetta cast is directed by Miss
Opal Giebler who is assisted by sew
eral of the other teachers of the grade
classes.

Hibbing Man
TO Head Unit ON
Appropriations
SPEAKER,ELECT JOHNSON : is
CONSIDERING COMMITTEE AP-
POINTMENTS IN HOUSE; NOR
TON TO LEAD RULES UNIT.

That R. w. Hitchcock of. Hibbing
will become chairman of the import
ant appropriations committee of the
Minnesota house, succeeding Govern
or-elect Theodore ChristiansOnj is the
prediction of friends of John A. John
son of Preston, the new speaker to
be.
w. l. Norton of Minneapolis is ex-
pected to go back as chairman of the
rules committee, one of the most
powerful groups in the house. AS
such he will be floor leader for the
administration, and will lead the fight
for the budget and reorganization
bills, sponsored by the interim COM
mission Of which he is secretary.
Mr.. Hitchcock was one of the lead
ing opponents Of Mr.. Johnson in the
speakership contest, decided by q
caucus, but withdrew before the eau
Gus opened. He has been chairman
of the education committee in recen.
sessions, and is regarded as one OF
the outstanding members of the house
Other opponents of Mr.. johnson
also will probably be recognized, ac-
cording to his friends, although there
is an inclination to punish Oscar A.
Swenson of Nicollet, who refused to
withdraw from the speakership con-
test. Mr.. Johnson has indicated
however, that Mr.. Swenson may be
retained as chairman of the highways
committee, and as such will be floor
leader for the state highway program
as he was two years ago.
Other important committee chair
manships, according to reports, will
go to j. R. Sweitzer and M. R. Light
ner of st. Paul and John E. Stevens
of Minneapolis. Mr.. Sweitzer may be
given the motor vehicles committee
Mr.. Lightner the important cities OF
the first class committee, and Mr.
Stevens the judiciary committee
There are vacancies in the banks

The farmer-labor group two years
ago had chairmanships of five impor-
tant committees, but this number is
likely to be cut this session because
there are many conservatives back
for second OF. third terms entitled to
recognition. Committees which they
headed were agriculture, corporations,
labor, public buildings and public
utilities. ~su{< 5e=a

Welfare Board j.
Meets Thurs.
with Miss StOudt
BY REPORT OF MUCH WORK
DONE; MEMBERS OF BOARD
RECENTLY REAPPOINTED.

The Redwood County Child Welfare
Board held its December meeting at
the office of the chairman, Miss Fern
Kennedy, last Thursday afternoon.
Miss Helen Stoudt of the Children's S
Bureau of the State Board of Control
attended the, meeting and the Board
members present were Mrs. VIM. Dun
can of Milroy, Mrs. A. J. Praxel Of
Lamberton, H. B. West of Morgan
and Commissioner E. A. Pease and
County Superintendent Fern Kennedy
of Redwood Falls. Miss F. Lucille
Joscelyn, the Executive Secretary was
also present and gave her report of
the months activities.
Miss Stoudt discussed, with the
Board, pending legislation in which
the State Board of Control and the
County Child Welfare Boards are
greatly interested. Among the bills
discussed was that concerning the
non-adoptive child. At present the
responsibility for such children rests
upon the county in cases where re-
latives are not able to pay for the
support. The proposed bill endeavors
to equalize the responsibility between
the county and the state, and it also
asks that the state share in the super
vision of the children and in their
placement in proper homes. Miss
StOudt also took advantage of the
opportunity to comment on the un-
usual qualities of loyalty, faithfulness
and interest which have been shown
in the past by the Redwood County
Welfare Board and to express the
appreciation of the State Board of
Control that this same Board is to
continue to function through the re-
cent reappointment of all its men,
bers.
The report Of the Executive Secre-
tary shows that during the past month
fifty-one Child Welfare Cases and
eighteen ex-service mems cases came
before her notice. During the month
she travelled nearly eleven hundred
miles, made forty-two home calls and
had three hundred fifteen interviews.
In addition to the regular work Miss
Joscelyn has had an exceptionally
busy month because of the many calls
made by the Red Cross memberships
drives throughout tie County.

Co. [ Trims
Highly TOuted
Denver Tigers
BASKETBALL SEASON OPENS
AT ARMORY MONDAY EVEN
ING; LOCALS BEAT VISITORS
3S-25.
(By Wild Rice)

Before a good crowd on wild
night, the local Co. L team nicked
the Denver Tigers for 3S to 25 de-
feat. Though the team work was
none too good the Company outfit
shows considerable promise. With the
speedy, aggressive material on hand
the Company promises some snappy
basketball for the fans.
The Tigers counted first on a free
throw due to Castle making slip.
Polly Gaasch, however, shared the old
pumpkin neatly and then added a
free gift. The first quarter ended
3 to 1.
The second quarter saw Castle
spearing two field goals and three
free gifts with Hoffert donating a
field effort. The Tigers could only
garner 10 points to Co. LIS IL during
the first half.
: The second half opened with some
stingy guarding. Then Castle and
"Scotty" Donlin got into action with
Hoffert and Bobzin and Gaasch.
Castle shared two field efforts, Donlin
six, Hoffert two and two and Gaasch
two free shots. Meanwhile the Tigers
annexed Is points and the whistle
ended the scoring, with Redwood at
3S and the Tigers at 25.
Following is the lineup:
Gaasch and Donlin-Forwards.
Hoffert and buff" Carity-Guards.
Castle-Center.
Bobzin for Castle and Lamberton
for Donlin. Carity and Hoffert put
up a stellar exhibition of guarding
and Donlin, Gaasch and Castle were
busy at their end With teamwork
improved the local Co. L will boast of
world-beating aggregation.

Wants Prize
for County
CHRISTMAS SEALS CAMPAIGN
MANAGER ANXIOUS THAT
REDWOOD COUNTY SEND RE-
Preventative.

"If no one asks you to buy Christ
mas Seals-ask someone to sell you
some" This is the appeal made by
Mrs. Glenn Hillig, local campaign man.
ager, who states that many people
wanting seals will undoubtedly be
missed in the general selling cam
paign, and that those that are not
approached are urged to get in touch
with the local committee. Christmas
Seals in any quantity, the campaign
manager announced, can be procured
by telephoning No. 312 or calling at
the Post Office.
"Many novel uses of the Christmas
Seals are reported from other cities"
says Mrs. Hillig. ''In one city the
cheerful little stamps are appearing
ON party invitations, tallies, and place
cards, in addition to the ordinary
mail. The use of the seals in this
war not only gives an attractive
Christmas touch, but also shows that
the user is personally giving her
support to the campaign for health. y
"We hope to increase our per capita
sale of Christmas Seals this year and
so have a chance to win the state
prize offered to the county making the
sbest record. If every one in the
county will do a little in the cam
paign, it will not only increase our
chances for the prize, but will also
make possible far-reaching health
work in our own county for next
year."
DR.. H. Longstreet Taylor, Presi-
dent, Minnesota Public Health AS
sociation, announces that the county
(excluding Ramsey, Hennepin and
St. Louis) registering the highest per
capita seal sale in the 1924 campaign
will be permitted to choose suitable
representative to attend the annual
conference of the National Tubercu-
losis Association next June at Mime
apolis and the Health Institute to be
held Immediately following. for a
period of about two weeks. This will
offer the winner a wonderful op-
portunity to meet the leading physi-
clans, nurses and health workers from
every state in the union, who gather
once each year to discuss public health.
Many Of the most important advances
in hygiene and education have had
their inception at these meetings.
The state organization will defray
the expenses of the person chosen to
attend these two events, covering
three weeks in all, providing the
total sum does not exceed 500.
