May Day Program.

Somewhat less elaborate than the
programs of former May fetes but
quite as interesting, will be the lit
tie program given by the school child
rem Friday afternoon, May 18th. The
program will consist of folk dances,
songs, games, physical exercises and
stunts given under the direction OF
Miss Opal Geibler, director of Physical
Education in the public schools. The
various numbers will be just the things
taught during the regular hours of
play on the grounds or in the GYM
nasium, and will give all those at
tending. an excellent opportunity to
see what this department is accomp-
fishing under Miss Geibler's very able
direction. The two closing numbers
will be the attractive May Pole Dance
and an athletic demonstration by the
boys from the high school. The at
tendance of all parents and others in
terested in the physical welfare of
the pupils is urged at this meeting.

SENIOR PLAY UNDER MISS AT
CHERSON'S COACHING PROVES
ENTERTAINING TO CAPACITY
HOUSE FRIDAY NIGHT.

"The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary"
the Senior Class play scored decid-
ed hit last Friday evening before a
large and extremely enthusiastic
audience. The play was exceptional
ly clever and the action moved
speedily on to an agreeable conclusion.
Lucille Olson as "Aunt Mary" Wat
kins a wealthy spinster, cleverly and
admirably interpreted her role in a
most characteristic fashion. "Aunt
Mary" an eccentric character a bit
''testy," yet with wonderful know
tremely difficult role to portray and
Miss Olson gave splendid interpre-
tation of this very difficult part.
Aunt Mary" was deeply concerned
over the behavior of her nephew Jack
Denham as played by Russell Rey-
nolds. His actions caused his aunt
Mary flutter yet "Aunt Mary" never
failed him. Mr.. Reynolds gave very
excellent portrayal of his character
and did exceptionally well.
Burnett, Mitchell and Clover, Jacks
chums were played by Jack Wilson,
Thomas Hosken and Gordon Cole.
They ably assisted Jack in his troubles
and joys and played up splendidly
when Aunt Mary" arrived to look
after Jack, ill with supposed case
of the measles. They were guilty of
the plan to give "Aunt Mary" royal
time in the city. The plan worked
out very well indeed.
Betty Burnett with Margaret Jean
Larson cast in the role aided materi-
ally in the whole plan of getting
Jacks affairs Strengthened out. She
carried out her part very nicely.
Katherine Ball as the girl from
Kalamazoo and Grace Ward as Daisy
Mullins did excellent work in help
ing to unfold the story. Clifford Wise
as Stebbins, lawyer, Harvey Huh
nerkoch as Joshua, Aunt Mary's hired
man, Vivian Bravinder as Lucinda,
Aunt Mary's hired girl, Margaret
Brammer as the Burnett's maid and
Herbert Melges as James, the butler

the play.
ed her visit to the city that she de-
cided to move there to live. Every
character responded to the occasion
and helped give perhaps the best
senior play in some time.
A great deal of credit must go to
Miss Atcherson Of the High School
faculty as coach of the play. The
whole presentation was excellently
done.

New Building Planned.

The Redwood County Agriculture
Society is, through its Board of Di-
rectOrs preparing to erect new dual
purpose building on the fair grounds.
This building will provide ample quar-
ters for the big poultry exhibit which
has been inadequately housed for the
past many fairs. But in addition to
that it will provide, in its lower
story, pleasant and comfortable
lodging house for the members of
the Boys and Girls Clubs who spend
the week at the fair with their exhi-
bits. The site selected for this
building makes it possible to have the
two sections of the building entirely
with the entrance to the
Club quarters on the opposite side of
the building and story lower than
the poultry building entrance. Plans
for the building have been made and
are most interesting, showing many
possibilities. In order to finance

SPEAKERS FOR OCCASION.

Officials in charge of the Morse
American Centennial celebration and
exposition to be held on the Mime
sofa State Fair grounds, June 6 to 8,
are making preparations to care for
hundreds of thousands of visitors. So
great has been the advance ticket sale
and so many requests for reservations
have been received from all parts of
America, that those in charge are pre-
pared to care for an attendance of
anywhere between 250,000 to 100000
for the four-day's celebration.
A worlds fair will virtually be
crowded into the four days celebra-
ton. The celebration has been of
ficially recognized by four nations
the United States, Dominion of Cana
da, Norway and Iceland, and these
countries will all be officially repre-
sented. Norway is sending Premier
j. Mowinckel and Ivan Lykke, presi-
dent of the Norwegian parliament.

Lack of Funds
haIts Testing
of More Herds
WORK AMONG
HERDS IN STATE MUST WAIT
TWO HS-FEDERAL IN
SPECTORS LEAVE STATE.

The official testing of cattle for
tuberculosis throughout the state
has been temporarily discontinued
until July 1st, the Farm Bureau has
been informed by Charles E. Cot
ton, secretary and executive officer
State Live Stock Sanitary board.
The state law, amended by the
last legislature, provides that if at
any time the annual appropriation
for the payment of indemnities be-
comes exhausted as the result of
condemnation and slaughter of ami
mails for tuberculosis, the sanitary
board shall discontinue making fur
ther official tests or to authorize
such tests except in those cases where
an owner signs waiver for pay
ment of indemnity.
Because of the depletion of funds
for indemnity purposes for the pre-
sent fiscal year, the sanitary board
on Nov. 5, 1924 found it necessary
any new herds, and directed that
the testing be limited to the re-test-
ing of the herds that were under Of
ficial supervision, the re-testing of
herds that had disclosed reactors on
prior tests, tests that were neces-
sary as provided by the state laws
for sales of pure bred cattle, and for
the testing of cattle supplying raw
milk to cities which had ordinances
requiring such test. AS result
the funds in the general indemnity
appropriation are exhausted, and at
the present time there are in the
neighborhood of 5000 owners who
have signed agreements and are
waiting for the official tests.
The sanitary board requested an
emergency appropriation of $780,
900 for the general indemnity fund,
and $4,000 for the area indemnity
fund to be available for the balance
of the present fiscal year, in order
that the work could be continued,
and tests for the large number of
waiting herd owners be made. These
requests were not allowed. The At
torney General has ruled that the of
ficial testing be discontinued until
the beginning of the next fiscal year,
or July 1, when funds for the pay
ment of indemnity will be available.
As result the force of federal in
spectors and the field force of the
sanitary board have been ordered
to discontinue all tests The test
ing of cattle by private veterinar-
ians throughout the state and the
testing for cities under milk ordin-
ances can be made only when owners
will sign a waiver releasing the
state from any obligation to pay
indemnity. The force of federal
veterinarians will be assigned to
neighboring states and it is hoped
that they will be returned to Mime
sofa in order that the work may pro-
ceed Immediately after July L.
The Legislature appropriated
$250,00O annually for indemnity
purposes in the control of tuber-
culosis under the area plan, and
$250,OOO annually for general in
demnity for the payment Of claims
throughout the state for tuberculo-
sis cattle, glandered horses, and for

Securities of this group of banks are
high in the favor of trustees and 9th
er investors who are careful to select
only absolute surities. That Redwood
Falls has within her boundaries a
bank strong enough to be member
OF this group is matter for con-
graduation. Also it is matter of
gratitude to the officers of the local
institution. Mr.. Guy Huston made
the statement to the Gazette that the
Directors are more than pleased with
the management of the bank under
the local men and are deeply gratified
at the progress it has made. Mr.. Hus-
ton states that ninety per cent of farm
mortgages originate in farm purchases
and with renewed and stabilized values
In farm lands he is confident there
will be strong demand for money
which will make for the prosperity
of the Southern Minnesota and those
connected with it.
The fact that Eastern men felt it
good business to invest in a North
west enterprise like the Southern Min
nesota is significant of many things.
Chief OF these is the fact that their
investment here indicates a return of
confidence in Northwest farmland
values. An investment of such an
amount and the consequent feeling
of eastern confidence can mean only
that financiers of the East realize
that the poor condition which has ex-
listed for sometime past is over, that
agriculture is on the mend, and that,
when the comparatively few distressed
land owners are relieved, land values
VIII be stabilized and increased. The
addition. of this Eastern money and
influence to the already strong re-
sources of the Southern Minnesota
can be indicative of nothing but the
utmost of well-grounded confidence
Not for some time has Minnesota and
Redwood County had anything SO
prophetic of an Immediately pros
porous future.

Bank Third in Capital
And Second i'm Surplus
OF S10O,O0O.OO FOR FINANCING FARMERS AND ACQUIR-
ING FARMLANDS. MR.. HUSTON NOW CHAIRMAN OF
BANKS DIRECTORATE.

AS result of the meeting of the
directors of the Southern Minnesota
Joint Stock Land Bank, held at the
Banks office here Tuesday, this in
stitution now has capital of $3,000,-
100000 and surplus of nearly $780,
10000. This increase of capital was
brought about by the sale of eleven
thousand shares of stock to Guy Hus-
ton of New York, j. E. Huston of
Chicago and their associates. Mr..
Guy Huston was made chairman of
the Board of Directors and Mr.. j. F..
Huston also becomes a member of
that body.
This change means tremendous
increase in the functions of this bank,
the new capital making it possible
for this institution to grow to a
$50 ,00O, 100000 bank. The Southern
Minnesota is now third in size in the
national system of Joint Stock Land
Banks as concerns it's capital and
second in size in the matter of sur
plus.
In addition to the increase of capi-
tai subsidiary company to the
Southern Minnesota was organized,
with capital to be furnished by
Messrs Huston and their associates,
this company having for it's purpose
the financing of farmers of the
northwest and the acquiring of farms
and loans. The new company has an
initial capital of $100,O0O.0O which
will be increased as purchases and
loans demand.
The changes brought about at the
Tuesday meeting link the Redwood
Falls bank with a chain of six banks
located in Kansas City, Dallas, Des
Moines and New York, the combined
resources of this group being two
hundred million dollars. Offices of
this group are maintained in New
York and Chicago and it is closly as
sociated with the moneyed interests
of Boston and other eastern points.

NicOllet County
Man Charged
With Murder
]. HOPP CHARGED WITH KILL
ING NEIGHBOR IN FIGHT OVER
TRESPASSING. SELF-DEFENSE
TO BE PLEA.

The Nicollet county grand jury re-
turned an indictment of first degree
murder in open court at st. Peter,
Monday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock,
against julius Hopp, who-is charged
with the killing of his neighbor, Louis
Wills, Jr., on April "a.
The trial of Mr.. Hopp will be called
Wednesday following the completion
of whatever case is on for trial when
court opens that morning
The grand jury reported for duty
Monday morning at eleven o'clock
and large number of witnesses were
called and examined as to the events
and circumstances surrounding the
terrible tragedy which caused the
death of Louis Wills, Jr. The jury
deliberated from the time the MEM
bers were charged by the court as to
their duties Monday morning until
Tuesday afternoon, as stated above,
when they returned the Indictment.
Mr.. Hopp was taken into custody
by Nicollet county officials following
the tragedy, and held without charge
Wednesday afternoon of last week at
torneys for the defendant asked that
he be given a hearing in justice
court, where warrant could be is
sued and a charge preferred. County
Attorney George T. Olsen Of Nicollet
county formally charged Mr.. Hopp
with murder in the first degree and
Justice Miller ordered his re-arrest
1t was then agreed among the attor-
neys for the state and the defendant
that the hearing in Justice court be
continued until Friday morning.
In the meantime the matter was laid
before the grand jury and the indict-
ment returned Tuesday afternoon.
1t is likely that plea of self-de-
Tense will be raised by the defendant.
The incident is a most regretable
one and arose out of the alleged
trespass of Louis Wills, Jr., ON the
defendants farm for the purpose of
securing some hay, that he had pur-
chased and which he desired to haul
to his farm nearby.
