It's inception from the idcalism of the
Jews for a national home. and has
continued To thrive on this cardinal
element that has been The basis of all
the present development of Palestine.
Unique indeed is the history of the
first completely Jewish municipality,
numbering 40 600 souls, and its story
was told me by its mayor, Meier Dl-
Zengoff, with whom | discussed the
past. present and future of his city.
He has been mayor since the begin
ming OF the making of this city, and is
regularly elected just as any of our
nuayors-a dominant figure, full of en-
thuSiaSm. eager for the most progress
sive methods of the New World.
Tel AViv truly resembles a subdivi-
sion of Miami Fla. Situated on the
Mediterranean, it has all the advan-
taces of sea frontage; its houses are
built strong. mainly of stone, and the

business. industry and social activities.
II is perhaps the most noteworthy
example of what the New World
methods can accomplish in short or

the statistics which speak louder than
figures, in that they demonstrate what
human endeaYor has gone into this
project.

Tel AYiY became 4 municipality in
1921. Prior to that it was Il small
suburb of Jaffa and was made up Of
80 acres. This was in 1909, and up to
the time of the war it had some de-
yelopment which brought it up to
about 275 acres. With the interven-

five souls in Tel Aviv-the watchmen.

operations were begun by the mayor

$50 an acre is selling now in some
places for $1,000, and all of the sur
rounding territory is being bought up
for development purposes. The sub.
urban property around about was
anna lgamated in 1928 and Tel Aviv be-
came a united township.

Farmers May
Have Help in
Tree Planting
PARKER O. ANDERSON OF STATE
UNIVERSITY READY TO GIVE
ASSISTANCE IN PLANTING OF
BIGGER TREE CROP.

Minnesota is one Cf Is states which
are cooperating with federal and
state departments in promoting for
estry extension work, each planning
to develop programs which will in
struct land owners in better forestry
practices. Twelve other states are
planning extension work along this
line which includes the development
of lands poorly suited to agricultural
production.
Parker 0. Anderson, forester with
the Extension staff at University
Farm, will assist owners of. farms in
establishing, improving and renewing
woodlands, shelterbelts, windbreaks,.
and other valuable forest growth, and
in marketing and utilizing timber pro-
ducts.
Tree crops are lust another form
of farm crops, but under longer
rotation" says Mr.. Anderson. For
est crops are needed in every farm
management and land utilization plan.
Minnesota farmers who won a good
wood lot are independent of the coal
mines. Good wood lots are, however,
getting scarcer every year, because of
improper cutting regulations and gen.
eral carelessness. These conditions
are usually due to lack of intelligent
methods of caring for and handling
wooded areas.
"Many unused areas can be made
to produce forest crops, such as fuel
wood, fence posts and timber, and in
time become farm assets of real inn
portance. There are millions OF
acres in Minnesota which are prim-
arily suited only to the growing of
forest crops. The extension service
of the University is ambitious to get
this work started. Farmers who need
help in developing tree growing
should write the Agricultural Exten-
sion Division, University Farm, St.
Paul, Minn."

Judge |. N. Olsen
Closes Court
After Long Term
TWO SERVING SENTENCES IN
REDWOOD COUNTY JAIL:
JUDGE HEARING MANY COURT
CASES THIS WEEK.

The petit jury for the October term
of court was dismissed by Judge l.
NJ. Olsen Friday, this closing the
work of the term with the exception
of the court cases which are to be
heard this week before Judge Olsen
For that purpose the Judge and his
reporter returned to Redwood Falls
Monday noon. The term was rather
unexciting in that there were no SEN
sational cases in the sixty-eight of
which disposal was made.
Two Jail sentences are now being
served as a result of work done dur
ing the term. Information was
brought against Edwin Eichten and
Nick Dederich of Wanda on the
charge of maintaining nuisance un-
der the liquor laws. Eichten pleaded
fenced to sixty days in the county
Jail. The case against Dederich was
dismissed for want of evidence.
Eichten started serving his sentence
Immediately after receiving it.
The other Jail sentence was that
imposed upon George Gasink of New
Ulm on the charge of issuing check
without sufficient funds. This case
grew out of an exchange of Ford
cars made by Gasink with party
from Lamberton, Gasink giving his
check for the balance due on the
trade. His check proved to be no
good and his arrest and sentence fol-
lowed. He has already started to
serve his ninety day term. Three
other cases on the criminal calendar
in which William Bomaster was
charged with certain misdemeanOrs
were stricken from the calendar as
Romaster is now 81 inmate Of an
insane hospital. The case of the
State against Albert Johnson is still
pending.
In the case of the State against
Lowell Klein the defendant was found
guilty.. this verdict establishing the
paternity of the child in question. An
identical case against Henry Ko-
pischke was dismissed because the
principal witness had disappeared.
T. E. McAllister ct al were defen-
dants in four cases against T. A.
Matheson and in all of these cases
the verdict was for the plaintiff.
Three of these cases involved the
paying of three notes, each in the
sum of S261.25, by Mr.. McAllister,
to the plaintiff. These cases grew
out of trouble over Mr.. McAllister
having abandoned the hotel he leased
from Mr.. Matheson at Staples. The
case of Mrs. T. E. McAllister ct al
against o. H. Johnson of Redwood
Falls was dismissed by request of the
plaintiff.
In the case of Homer Hedges
against w. T.. Wilcox Mr.. Hedges
was awarded the verdict in the sum
of $26S.O0. This case grew out Of
a transaction whereby Mr.. Hedges
purchased grain elevator from. Mr..
Wilcox, giving mortgage notes In
payment. Later Mr.: Wilcox hired

False RumOr
Causes Run on
Franklin Bank
CITIZENS S L A TIE BANK OF
FRANKLIN SUSTAINS DRAIN
OF $4,000 RUN IN TWO DAYS
AND COMES THROUGH INTACT

Caused by false rumors regarding
the soundness of the Citizens State
Bank of Franklin, run was made
on that institution last week, causing
a withdrawal of $45.5OO of deposits
within few days. The ability of the
bank to pay out the withdrawals
without hesitation stemmed the tide.
and the greater part of the money
drawn out has been returned.
A meeting of the board of direc-
tors was held last Thursday, at which
K. j. Neunsinger voluntarily resign
ed as president of the bank and E.
F. Johnson, of the firm of johnson
Bros, was elected to fill the vacancy.
Two bank examiners and represen-
tative of the Northwest National
Bank of Minneapolis were present.
These gentlemen outlined a plan
which has been adopted by the
Citizens State Bank and will no doubt
be the means Of making this bank a
strong going concern which can as
sure all its patrons that their in
terests will be safeguarded.
A block of shares in the bank has
been offered for sale and The Tribune
understands that the shares are being
taken by number of prominent men
of Franklin and vicinity. With this
block of shares distributed among a
wide circle of substantial holders, the
Citizens State Bank should be in a
better condition than ever before. It
is generally conceded that a banking
institution which can withstand run
of this magnitude must be in good
condition, and this banks ability to
avert disaster at this time proves
the rumors to be rank falsehood, ap-
parently started with malicious in
tent. Evidently those instrumental
in starting this rumor were not
familiar with the true condition of
the bank, and it is due only to the
leniency Of the directors Of the bank
that those, who circulated the false
report are not being made to account
for their actions. The Citizens State

Independents Tie
Fast Hutchinson
Team SUNDAY
LOCAL LEGION GRIDDERS PLAY
VISITORS FOR 6-6 SCORE; PLAN
GAME FOR THANKSGIVING
DAY.

Last Sunday, at the fair grounds,
the local Legion Football team met
the fast aggregation from Hutchin-
son in game that was replete with
thrills and spectacular playing on
both sides. The game was hard
fought and good clean football was
prevalent throughout; both sides were
out to give their best and win their
coveted points. The game ended in
a 6-6 tie.
The game started with Redwood
kicking off to Hutchinson, who imme-
diately started a terrific drive which
would not be denied. Redwood's line
seemed unable to cope with Hutchin-
sons attack and only after numerous
changes in the line made, were they
able to force their opponents to punt.
Redwood's attempts at the line failed
and they were forced to resort to
kicking, in which they had decided
advantage.
The first half was played with
neither team having any marked ad-
vantage. It was late in the third
quarter that Hutchinson won it's first
points. A beautifully executed pass
netted 30 yards and placed the ball
within scoring distance on the 10
yard line. Redwood held for 2 downs
but their opponents weight told on
the locals and the goal was crossed
on the third down. The point for goal
was blocked, score Hutchinson 6. Red
wood 0.
Even after the touchdown the 10.
Gals were not convinced that they
were beaten. They decided to kick SO
as to keep the ball in enemy territory.
This proved to be splendid piece of
stragedy, for late in the fourth quar-.
ter their opportunity came.
The locals held Hutchinson for
three downs, stopping their every
move and downing them in their
tracks. The fourth down called for
2 punt. Redwood rushed IN. BLOCKED
