SNEERS FOR us.
 HEARD IN FRANCE
Debt Terms Blamed By Some
 For Fall Of Franc

Paris, July LP)-The fall in the franc yesterday to the new low lev el of 36.90 to the dollar and the uncertainty of parliament circles regarding the fate of the Briand- CaillauX cabinet, when 1t faces the chamber of deputies next Tuesday are reflected in this mornings s newspapers. There is a flood of ad- verse criticism of the government from the right and center organs and sneers at the Anglo-Saxons, particularly the Americans, from the left. Hints such as "when shall we have an eleventh Briand ministry" coupled with redoubled demands that there should be a transfer clause, if not a safeguard clause, inserted in the debt agreement reached at Washington by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and Ambas- sador Berenger. are printed.
 Gustave Herve in La ViCtoire is practically the sole defender Of a prompt ratification of the Washing ton accord. He says that if a min istry of tomorrow refused to ratify the agreement so long as safe guard was not incorporated in it, 1t would be carried away in a week by the sheer force of fall in the currency.
 NJ. Hutin in the Echo de Paris, after pointing out that Finance Min ister Cailaux has three alternatives engaging the Bank of Frances gold in support Of the franc, new irfation or asking for foreign cred its--chooses the last with all at tendant Consequences.'
 N. Hutin declares that American credits will not be forthcoming until the Mellon -Berenger accord is rati- fed.
 What the Americans and English want" the writer adds. Ifs a guar sntee of our gold reserve. It will be said that the gold does not have to leave the Bank of Frances eel lars, but it must not be forgotten that anything hypothecated is no longer our real property. We can- HOI lo bllN lIllltS Ali4'-Ca lll' EhliA-i iNSiAi bankers demand our state monopo- lies or railroads as guarantees. The example of Belgium ought to make us pause and thiIk,
 Paris is full of Amcric9n bank CTS awaiting the outcome of the big chamber debate in order 10 arrange conditions for franc stabilization loan."
 The principal point in the report to Finance Minister Caillaux by the governments committee of experts, if vas learned today, will be that the deht funding agreement with America must be ratified by parlia- ment as one Of tho first steps toward stabiizing the franc.
 The committee also will recom- mend prompt settlement of the debt to Great Britain, and will present a scheme fer refunding Frances inter for debt.

G. A. DEWERD'S
MILL DESTROYED
BY FIRE TUESDAY
FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED AT
$50 A. M. TUESDAY TO ANS
WEIR CALL AT LOCAL FEED
MILL; STORAGE SHEDS SAVED.

The G. A. deWerd feed mill and
storage elevator suffered complete
loss by fire Tuesday morning. The
fire was discovered by Mrs. Hummer
koch at about $50 a. m. at which time
she Immediately called Mr.. deWerd
and the fire department. Upon ar
rival the fire department found that
the fire had made great headway and
that it was practically useless to try
to save the building. The fire start
ed from some unknown cause in the
storage shed which connected the
main building on the west and by the
time the department had arrived the
blaze had made great headway in the
main building.
Handicapped by the lack of hy-
drants near the scene of the fire the
department played two streams upon
the blaze through the doors and win
dows. The building, formerly the
Bingham Bros. elevator, was COM
pletely covered on the outside with
tin which made it impossible for the
firemen to break through. The stor-
age sheds at the east of the building
were carefully guarded and were
saved.
Mr.. deWerd states that the total
loss approximates $8,000.00 and that
the building and contents were fully
insured. Because of the fire the
feed mill will be closed but will be
opened as soon as the debris can be
cleared away and a new building
erected. A full line Of flour and feed
that had been stored in the storage
sheds undamaged by fire can be had
at all times.

WANTED-FIVE HUN
DRIED CITIZENS HELP

In the recent election held In
Redwood Falls more than eleven
hundred votes were cast in the
two wards of the city. This
seems pretty fair evidence that
there are at least that many
people past twenty-one years of
age within the limits of Red
wood Falls. Now that the an
nual Roll Call is on it seems
little enough to expect that at
least five hundred of this num-
ber shall prove they are MAIN
tanning the honor of the COM
munity by their dollars as we'll
as by their votes. A member
ship in the Red Cross for one
year is only one dollar, and that
it is little enough to give as a
"Thank Offering" to the great
cause of charity as it is serv-
ed by this wonderful organiza-
tion. Helping with this Roll
Call means helping to further
the work of the Redwood Coun-
ty Child Welfare Board which
is financed by the Redwood
County Red Cross Chapter. Ev-
eryone is privileged to help
with this through the simple
process of taking out a Red
Cross membership.

BROTHER OF LOCAL
WOMAN SENT TO
SPAIN BY PRES.
MRS. ALICE WARNER RECEIVES
NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT OF
BROTHER AS NATIONAL REP
RESENTATIVE AT EXPOSITION.

Judge R. n. Matson of Cheyenne,
Wyoming, the brother of Mrs. Alice
Warner of Redwood Falls, has recent
ly received an important appointment
from President Coolidge. The Wyom-
ing State Tribune of a recent issue
carried the following story of this ap-
pointment.
Hon. Roderick N Matson of Chey-
enne, Wyo., has been appointed by
President Coolidge as commissioner of
the United States to the international
exposition which is to open at Seville,
Spain, in the fall of 1928. His duties
will necessitate his presence at Sc
vile for an indefinite period. He
probably will go to Spain next year.
Mrs. Matson will accompany him.
Selection of Judge Matson as one
of the commissioners to direct Amer
ica's participation in the exposition at
Seville was reorganization of his know
ledge of international law and general
international relationships. He was
appointed after President Coolidge
1ad made a survey of the qualifica-
tions of prominent men. of all parts
of the country and his selection fur
ther distinguishes Wyoming, state of
small population, as part of the
country which produces citizens cap
able of ably administering national
offices. On the comparative basis of
populations, there is no other state
which has nearly so many citizens in
nigh federal positions as has Wyom-
ing.

County Agent Sheldon
Makes Annual Report

total of 81 demonstrations with an
attendance at three demonstrations OF
GIL.
Another type of demonstration
work is conducted individually rela-
tive to some particular farm problem
where the farmer conducts some par
ticular demonstration where the meth
DDS used are carried out according to
the direction of the extension service
and records of the results are made
and comparisons drawn.
"In this kind of result demonstra-
tion the agent worked with 209 farm
ers during the year in development Of
the following projects: Corn 1, Wheat
/, Oats 5, Barley 5, Flax 4, Alfalfa
IL, Soy Beans 10, Sweet Glover 25,
Pastures 8, Fruit Trees Z, Grapes 6,
Home Identification 1, Forestry 10,
Beef Cattle z, Swine 4, Poultry 20,
Farm Management 45, Bee Keeping
5, Rodents IA, Insects Is. Total 209.
"It is quite generally understood
that the county agent does not run
around over the county imposing his
services or butting into peoples busi-
ness. Request must first be made for
this assistance. Some have hesitat-
ed to ask for assistance because they
thought it would cost them something.
This service is rendered without cost
to anyone requesting assistance, and
increased returns from improved farm
practices are assured.
"A special effort is made to do
group work by communities where it
may be possible to reach more people
at the same time and with the same
expense. But this does not stand in
the way of anyone in Redwood Coun-
ty receiving assistance without charge
who may desire it, merely for the ask
ing. This likewise applies to organ
lied communities where more work
is carried on in groups.
Meetings bearing on various SUBJ
jects in the development Of the pro-
gram Of work for the year are called
for special purpose or presented at
meetings of some local organization.
This has proved very good means
of bringing before the people timely
subjects pertaining to farm problems.

GUST. MATTSON
AND WIN. SCHMITT
TAKEN TO PRISON
FOUR CHARGED WITH FORGERY
ARE SENTENCED BY JUDGE
OLSEN; VTOMEN'S SENTENCES,
SUSPENDED.

Three residents of. Springfield
charged with forgery in the second
degree, were give sentence by Judge
l. NJ. Olsen in District Court here
Friday. The miscreants were Gust.
Mattson, VIM. Schmitt and Annie
Schmitt, his wife A fourth member
Of the party, Gertrude Mattson, wife
of William Mattson, was sentenced
Monday. The plea a-1of guilty was
made before Judge Everett in NUM-
cipal Court here last week. The two
men were each sent to. the state pris-
on at Saltwater to remain until re-
leased as provided by law. The wo-
men were both sentenced to the State
Reformatory for Women at Shakopee
with sentences of the same length. In
their case, however, the sentences
were suspended for one year on good
behavior. This suspension of sent
ence was given since each of the wo-
men. is the mother of several young
children.
These four people were arrested
recently at Lamberton when Mrs.
Schmitt attempted to cash suspic-
ious looking check. Lamberton mer-
chants, having been warned against a
group which had been doing this In
other sections of the County, held the
woman until the arrival of Sheriff L.
j. Kise and his deputies. The woman
was arrested, her arrest leading to
the arrest of her husband and Mr..
and Mrs. Mattson. In addition to-
cashing forged checks the four had
also been taking parcels from parked
working in various of
the smaller towns on Saturday even
ings, selecting a different town each
Saturday. The men will be taken to
Saltwater today to start serving their
sentences.

ARMISTICE DAY
ADDRESS GIVEN BY
HARRY ACTON
SECRETARY TO GOV. CHRISTIAN
SON DELIVERS ADDRESS BE-
FORE LARGE AUDIENCE IN
ARMORY.

Harry Acton private secretary to
Governor Theodore Christianson de-
livered the principle address of the
Armistice Day program held at the
Armory, Redwood Falls, Thursday,
November 18th. Those taking part
in the parade assembled at the Lin
coin school building where at $50
a. m. the parade started and march
ed through the business section of
town to the armory where the pro-
gram was carried out. E. L. Spencer,
commander of the local post of the
American Legion presided.
Mr.. Acton's talk was a resume of
the World War and the first Armis-
tice and he summarized the theme of
his address thus:
Let us, out of the World War
Armistice, try to engender such
spirit for the whole world it will be
the armistice of all wars, but let US
enter into no armistice with forces
of evil, whether here or abroad. There
can be no armistice with those who
would teach the children that all our
wars were folly, that the Americans
who brought them about were eager
to kill and MAIN their fellow-men.
1--WE want no more war, and every
true American wishes we had never
had to engage in one. But we can
rightly be proud of the part we play
ed in the World War and to show that
pride, We should honor both the dead
and living who served, care for the
disabled, perpetuate the American
spirit which gave us victory and have
no armistice with those who have
proved or do prove they are not in
accord with Americanism.
Here, then, is our message for
Armistice Day: call to hallow Ine
memory of those who made the SUI
preme sacrifice; call to honor the
valiant deeds that won the day for
democratic government; call to
stand vigilant over our birthright as
nation; call to look toward the
- rising sun of that day when war, and
misery, and hate shall be no more.
The program consisted Of Invoca-
tion by Rev. Alderman, a vocal solo
by Miss Flygare accompanied by Miss
Thompson, a trio by A. F. Dahlberg
Harold Starr and F. H. Anthony. The
audience sang America and Rev. Jir-
acek gave the Benediction. Five vet
Grams of the Civil War and members
of the G. A. R. were in attendance;
they were H. N. Bell, o. j. Swan
