ELK CHANTERS
MAKE BIG HIT

One of tn emost enjoyable musical
feasts Ell Centre has enjoyed in
many a day was heard yesterday
morning at the Presbyterian church,
when the San Diego Elk Chanters
rendered an impressive program par
ticularly fitted for Palm Sunday OBJ
servance.
More than 90 of this we'll known
musical organization were on hand
and a delightful program of chorus
and solo numbers were given. "The
Palms, sung by Joseph M. Ken
dali was delightful number, while
Lead, Kindly Light" "Still, Still
with Thee" and jerusalem
were unusually fine chorus numbers
which proved the ability of these
Elk songsters.
The event was of particular To-
cal interest by reason Of the fact
that the director was W. D. Deeble,
father of "Doug'' Deeble, popular
young man of this city, and that
0tto Jeancon and Douglas Cadman,
both former residents of this city,
were among the singers.
The Chanters were in the valley
to take part in the joint installa-
tion of Elk Officers of valley lodges,
held at Calexico on Saturday night.

FRANCE TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT
FINANCE PLANS

PARIS, April 6.-Finance Minister
De Monzie today presented to the
French cabinet a plan providing for
voluntary contributions to meet the
financial crisis.
The plan also provides for author
ization for the Bank of France to
issue four billions of francs in new
notes.
Voluntary contributions would be
expected, under De Monzie's plan,
only from those receiving income
from invested interests. Salary
earners would be exempted. The
cabinet still has to approve the plan,
which if adopted, will be laid be-
fore parliament tomorrow. lair
Election of former President Alex
andre Millerand to the senate from
the department of the Seine was the
outstanding political event of the
weekend. Politicians regard the
return of Millerand as a sign that
the tide of political fortune is turn
ing against the government.
Besides adding one more irrecon-
cilable to the anti-Herriot forces in
the senate, Millerand's 8 victory over
government candidate is taken as
sign that the premier's power is
waning.
After the cabinet, which adjourn
ed until tonight without reaching a
decision, De Monzie consulted with
the governors of the Bank Of France
and said he probably would be
able to read in the chamber of
deputies tomorrow a statement out
lining the motives of the govern
ment project.

However, when they are thrown to-
gather so as to give enough for a
sample, the difference is only $26
per acre, $156 per acre for the land
on state roads and $3.50 for the land
on dirt roads"
The $21.92 differential in favor of
improved state roads is further sub
stantiated in other figures. 1t is
suggested that while the figure will
not apply in sections where land
prices are lower or higher, the per-
centage may be fairly used in deter
mining the extent that the better
road increases the value of the land.
''It should be understood, "the re-
port states, ''that the higher value of
the land on state roads is due to the
fact that such roads are and always
have been maain lines of ravel, as
we'll as to the quality Of the road"

Minnesota Farm Values
Depend on Road Conditions
Good Road to Market Adds Over Ten
Per Cent to Worth of Land,
Says Expert

Stearns county land is worth from
ten to fifteen per cent more on I'M
proved state roads than on ordinary
dirt roads, if figures returned In an
investigation of farm land values is
applicable, as reported by an ap-
praisal expert of the University OF
Minnesota farm school.
The investigation covering large
number of Blue Earth county farms
embracing more than $4,000 acres
and based on actual sales prices show
ed that those on improved state roads
bring $21 .92 an acre more than
those on dirt roads. 1t shows that
the difference in value increases in
proportion to the distance from farm
to market, farms between 10 and Ii
miles away being worth $3.50 an acre
if served by good state road, but
only $78 an acre if located on a
dirt road.
Although the great majority of
farmers have learned by experience
the value of improved roads, this is
believed the first instance in which
that enhancement of farm values has
been put down in cold figures in
Minnesota. The report is based on
actual sales over a number of years,
after differences in individual farm
worths, such as soil, building improve
ments and other factors, were worked
out and all reduced to a common lev
ell. Yet all such factors were taken
into consideration.
The first comparison disclosed that
where the cost of buildings was I'M
der $12 an acre, the farms were
worth $131 an acre on dirt roads
and $153 on state roads; buildings at
$12 to $24 an acre increased values
to $152 an acre on dirt and $173
on state roads. This difference of
about $40 an acre in favor of good
roads was found to apply also in
classes ranged on distances to mar
ket. At distances of less than 21a
miles the values were $3.50 an acre
on dirt and $3.50 on state roads, and
at 21s to Az miles they were $155
an acre on dirt and $178 on state
roads. Weighted average differen-
tials, the report states, were $24,44
on two basis of building improvement
costs and SIS. 87 on miles to market.
The report continues:
"There are, however, 3,743 acres
of land located on dirt roads and l.
062 acres located on state roads, at
distances further from town than the
classes used in obtaining the $21.92
differential, at distances from A II to
12k miles from town, which might
