Rhode Island Agricultural Conference
by Virgil Jordan, chief economist Of
the National Industrial Conference
Board here today.
Discussing the report of the Busi

ture, he declared that it reflected the
growing uneasiness of many intelli-
gent and far-sighted men about our
boot-strap prosperity
Illusory and Uneven.
"Our much vaunted prosperity in
recent years has had something
illusory, uncertain and exceedingly
uneven about it," he declared. "Busi-
ness as a whole has not shown much
more than the normal rate of growth
since 1922
The prime reason for this is the
SLOW and uncertain recovery OF our
agriculture from the depression Of
1921. and the persistently subnormal
purchasing power of the enormous
part of our domestic market repre-
sented by the farm population.
Task of Business.
I'VE shall have no general all

Health Certificate
to Complete Sale
Judge r. r. Kells Hands Down
Decision in Unusual Case
Dirnberger VS.. Engel.

A case of more than passing in
terest was decided by Municipal
Judge R. R. Kells a few days ago.
Joseph Dirnberger brought an
action against Will Engel for $75,
the alleged value Of a steer which
Mr.. Dirnberger claimed the de-
PENDANT was to pasture for him
during abe summer, and which
disappeared and was not found.
Mr.. Engle set up the defense
that he received a pure bred
Brown Swiss bull in exchange for
three steers, two of which were
delivered. His attorney cited a
law on the Minnesota statute books
which precluded the seller of a
pure bred animal from collecting
where a certificate of health was
not furnished. This Mr.. Dim
berger admitted he did not do.
The defense then moved for a
judgment on the pleadings. Judge
Kells took the matter under adj
visement and rendered verdict
that the sale was made without
compliance with law and was void.
Attorney George Barnard repre-
sented Mr.. Dirnberger and L. L..
Kells Mr.. Engel.

Executive Threatens Extra
Session If Expenditures
Are Not Kept Down. =.
NO GAS TAX INCREASE
Both Branches of Law Body
In Wild Scramble to
Finish Business.

minneapolis Journal, April 20)
State senate leaders still were
at loggerheads with Governor
Theodore Christensen and the
house majority today on the ques-
ton of school aid, in the closing
hours of the session.
Senator J. o. Haugen of Crooks
ton called on the governor early
today and brought back word that
the governor would insist on the
plan cutting school aid allowances
to 80 per cent and on emitting
any allowance for the 1923-24 de-
ficiency claim.
This was construed as an ulti-
matum, carrying the threat of an
extra session.
The senate financing committee,
however, after getting this mes
sage voted 10 to 5, to add to the
house bill an item of 81, 900, 900
to be applied on the 1923-24 de-
ficiency claim.
The house bill, passed late yes
terday, is a separate measure al
lowing 100000 for the 1885
deficiency and $474,000 for pay
ment of mothers pension claims
to counties, all to be financed by
certificates of Indebtedness. The
senate committee decided to force
action on this bill before getting
senate vote on the general educa-
tional appropriation bill.
There was a possibility that this
action would be reconsiderei and
the committee planned to meet
frequently during the day until
the whole thing was ironed out.
Senator A. J. Rockne, chairman
of the committee, conferred twice
with the governor, and both are
trying to avoid any deadlock max
ing an extra session necessary.
It was evident that the COVER
nor is ready to veto the whole GER
tifcate plan bill if the 1923-24 de-
ficiency claim is included in it.
That in itself would not force an
extra session, but if the appropri-
alton bill carries too large school

towns that are contributing to the
Area Council budget will be $500

Will Return to
Old Home Town
Walter Benson Plans on Opening
Wholesale Coffee Business in
Sank Centre Next Month.

Sank Centre young men occas-
ionally drift away for few
years but urge of the old Home
town is so strong that they usually
return to follow their chosen vo-
cation.
Walter Benson after serving
his time for Uncle Sam in the
World War, returned, married a
home town girl, and set stakes for
Luverne, Mimi, where for the
past several years he has had
charge of the grocery department
of the Nelson Department Store.
Mr.. Benson built up a wonder
full coffee business in the south
west Minnesota city. He likes the
coffee game and poniered long
over the proposition of returning
to Sank Centre and starting a
small wholesale coffee business.
The gentleman and family drove
up from Luverne Easter day and
completed negotiations to start a
business in this city about May Is.
He will buy his coffee direct
from the importers, green. The
coffee will be shipped to this city
where it will be roasted and
blended. Mr.. Benson stated to the
Herald Monday that if the local
grocers would cooperate with him
he could furnish them a better
grade of coffee than they had on
their shelves at an appreciate
saving over what they are now
paying for high grade article.
While in the city he rented the
M. Cowlthorpe residence on Ash
street now occupied by Supt. and
Mrs. H. A. Falk and son Robert.
The Falks will move to their
summer home on Sank Lake in a
short time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Benson's many
Sank Centre friends will be glad
to welcome them back as resi-
dents of Sank Centre once more.
