JONES STORE PART
OF PENNEY CHAIN
FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF
NEW OWNERSHIP HELD FRI.
DAY AND SATURDAY OF THIS
WEEK.

? The announcement is made that the
formal opening of Redwood Falls
Penney Store will be made Friday
and Saturday of this week, July %
and %. This opening follows the
sales of the Jones Store to the Penney
Corporation, the transfer having
been made about two. months ago.
The management of the local store
remains the same with B. H. Clark in
charge, assisted by the same sales
people. Mr.. Clark has been the man.
ager of the Jones Store since it's COM
ing to Redwood Falls and has given
the community splendid service.
1t is unusual for city the size of
Redwood Falls to have a Penney
Store, it being the policy Of the cor
poration not to operate stores in ci-
ties of less than five thousand popula-
tion. The combination with the Jones
Stores is the first divergence from
this rule. This means that Redwood
Falls is to have the buying service of
a chain of stores practically all of
which are operated in cities many
times larger than Redwood Falls.
There are now 1856 stores in this
chain.
J. C. Penney, the originator Of the
Penney Chain Stores started with a
one-man store at Kemmerer, Wyom-
ing in 1902. Shortly after, he con-
ceived the idea of a chain of stores
which would facilitate the buying and
decrease the overhead of each indi-
vidual store and the whole chain has
been built up within the past twenty
five years. The local store will con-
tinue in its present location until it
outgrows the limits of the building.

PRETENDED AND $500 BAIL
GIVEN; FAIL TO APPEAR.

The Redwood County fund was in
creased five hundred dollars by the
failure OF an outlaw gypsy band held
in the Redwood County Jail to appear
for hearing Tuesday morning,
Last Saturday morning a band of
gypsies travelling in high powered
autoes stopped at the John Mielke
farm south of Morgan. Several of
the women walked up to the home of
Mr.. Mielke and inquiring the way
one of the women incidently asked
for match. AS Mr.. Mielke was
reaching in the pocket of his coat for
the match one of the women grabbed
him and held him while the others
searched his pockets. A pocketbook
containing $500 was found, the
money taken and the pocketbook
kindly returned. Mr.. Mielke, an aged
man could do nothing at the time.
He Immediately drove to Morgan and
notified Attorney Werring who in
turn called the County Sheriff's of
flee.
Deputy Beatty and County Attorn-
ey Brown drove to Morgan to investi-
gate. Upon being told the route the
band had taken in it's hasty depart
ure, Mr.. Beatty and Mr.. Brown call
ed several towns south and southeast
of Morgan. The gypsies were located
in Sleepy Eye and the money was re-
turned but through some misunder-
standing in the telephone conversa-
tion between Atty. Brown and the
Sleepy Eye officials the band was re-
leased and hied on its way.
Thinking that the band was headed
for Iowa Attorney Brown again cal
led several towns south of Sleepy
Eye. That evening the gypsies were
located in Madelia. Deputies Beatty
and Guthrie and Attorney Brown i'm
mediately left for Madelia where de-
mands were made to the chief to pro-
duce the women who took part in the
robbery. The chief would not give in

After two spirited sessions all the
evidence for and against the removal
of two passenger trains on the Sleepy
Eye branch of the C. & N. w. r. R.
is in the hands of the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission and the fate
of these trains rests with this Com

60 and 81 on this branch. Mr.. Faresy
of the General Council of the C. & N.
w. R. R. came from Chicago to pre-
sent the Arguments before the Com

handicapped by the removal Of these
trains, was presented Thursday after
noon under the direction of attorneys
from the towns concerned.
The testimony Of the railroads was
to the effect that several thousands of
dollars each year could be saved did
they not have to operate these two

CLEMENCY FOR BOY
Brain Operation on Youth
Believed Successful.

A thirty-day extension Of parole
has been granted Emmett Brown
lee, IS, of 1853 Eugene ST., by Gov
ernor Ed Jackson.
The youth was granted thirty
days liberty from Nov. Is, when he
was paroled to allow DR.. Albert E..
Sterne to operate on his skull to
remove pressure believed to have
caused criminal tendencies.
The operation is believed success
full and in order to keep him in his
home environment under the
observation of DR.. Sterne the
Governor granted additional Glenn
ency.
Brownlee was convicted in the
Marion Criminal Court, Sept. 80,
1926, of automobile banditry and
was sentenced to serve from three
to five years; and one to fourteen
years for vehicle taking.
Summer A. Clancy, indianapolis
attorney, thought the boys actions
peculiar and learned upon investi-
cation that he had been in an auto
mobile accident and an examina-
ton revealed that a portion of his
skull pressed against the brain.
Since his operation Brownlee

SEEK TO GUARD
BANKS DEPOSITS
"No. Head-See PuzzIe--
Congressman Would Pro-
tect All National Funds.

BY DEXTER M. KEEzER


WASHINGTON, Dec. GA law
to insure depositors against losses in
national bank failures will be pressed
at this session of Congress, accord
ing to Congressman Edgar Howard
of Nebraska.
He is one Of a number who have
introduced bills to give depositorS
protection similar to that provided
for depositors in State banks in sew
eral States.
Last year, according to the Fed
eral Reserve Board, 125 national
banks, with total deposits of SAL
100000, suspended operations. There
Is no law governing the insurance OF
depositorS in such banks.
"In Nebraska" Howard said today,
mo depositor in State bank has
lost a dollar in seventeen years. I
have modelled my plan for guaran-
teeing national bank deposits on the
present Nebraska law"
Congressman Charles Brand, DEM
ocrat, of Georgia, also has intro
duced an amendment to the Federal
Reserve Bank providing for the in
surance of national bank deposits.
1.-THE small banks are favorable to
a plan," Howard said today, "but the
larger banking institutions are gen.
orally opposed to it. Recently, how
ever, there have been indications
that some of the larger banks are
not as hostile as they were for
nerly."

FLOOD CONTROL
COST is CAUSE
OF ARGUMENTS
Coolidge FavorS Assessing
States 20 Per Cent;
Congress Differs.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
limited Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The
real issue which has developed over
Mississippi flood control legislation
is whether the Government shall
bear the whole cost or require the
States to share at least 20 per cent
of it.
Fundamental differences have de-
veloped between the White House
and leaders Of Congress on that
point.
President Coolidge and the Army
engineers believe the States con-
cerned should pay part of the cost
for flood protection. The opposite
view has considerable strength in
Congress.
Representative Frank r. Reid Of
Illinois, chairman of the House
Flood Control Committee, intro
duced a bill Wednesday providing
that the Government pay the entire
cost.
Reid, who has given much study
to flood control and has thoroughly
investigated conditions on the scene,
agrees with the Army engineers on
their engineering recommendations.
The only issue concerns the method
of financing the work.
The Army engineers estimate the
levees, spillways and other work re-
quired would cost 1926, 100000, COW
ering a ten-year period. Adjacent
States paid one-third of the cost of
the old levees and President Cool
idge believes that the States should
share at least 20 per cent Of the
cost of rebuilding them.
The White House explained this
week that the amount it is proposed
to assess to the States would
amount to about 80 cents an acre
a year for ten years.
President Coolidge recently stated
cities and towns has an average
value of more than 5000 an acre.
He regards the 30-cent levy as
trivial, the White House said. In
his message he said that "the Gov
eminent is not an insurer of its
citizens against the hazard Of the
elements" and that there would
always be disasters of nature.

new PLAN FOR
SEWAGE PLANT
OFFERS SAVING
Delivery From Broad Ripple
Given Consideration by
Consulting Engineer.

A new plan for delivering sewage
from Broad Ripple and surrounding
far north territory to the city sewage
disposal plant, AZ saving of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, has
been prepared for the city sanitary
board by Charles H. Hurd, consult
ing engineer.
Months ago Hurd presented two
plans: One to build a separate
sewer connecting the northern ter
ritory with the sewage disposal plant
in the far southeastern section of
the city; the other to build a sepa-
rate disposal plant in Broad Ripple.
The first pain was estimated to
cost 100000; the second approx
mately 100000. The board has not
acted upon this report.
Hurds substitute plan would care
for the north side problem for ten
years. 1t would cost about 100000.
After ten years further construction
would be necessary, if the city grew
at its present rate.
The substitute plan is to connect
the far north sewers with the Fall
Creek and West Indianapolis inter
ceptors, which now carry the sewage
fom the rest of the city.
This would work well for ten
years, or until the load from the far
north became too heavy for the size
of the present main drains, the en-
gineer believes.
Hurd also believes It eventually
will be necessary to construct sep
arate sewer system along Kessler
Blvd. and Little Eagle Creek, leading
to the disposal plant, as the Kessler
Blvd. neighborhood, now practically
becomes populated.
