The congregations of the Methodist

for defeat and we are sure that vic

"we never have gone out with ham,
mers and hatchets but have always
made it a point to go out with edu-
cation. We have distributed great
quantities of literature in the schools,
for the school is the starting point
of this great question. We are some
times unable to get the the man

we circulate in the schools the chill

do this work for u.s."
"Many homes are not in sympathy
with the 18th Amendment. There are
many people here from other countries
who came to live in America because
they supposed it to be free country.
By refusing to regard the 18th Am

PROTEST E. &N. W.
TRAIN DECISION
CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS OF RED.
WOOD FALLS AND MORGAN
COMBINE EFFORTS TO PRE-
VENT ABANDONING TRAIN.

To combine the efforts of the Red
wood Falls Commercial Club and the
Morgan Civic Clubs to prevent the
Chicago & North Western Railroad
from abandoning one train daily was
accomplished at the special meeting
of the two civic organizations held
at the club rooms of the Redwood
Falls club on Friday night, March 25.
George Freyer, acting president of
the club, called the meeting to order
and called upon w. S. Brammer,
chairman of the Railroad and Trans
portations committee for a report re-
garding the curtailing of one train.
Mr.. Brammer stated that M. j. Boyle,
division superintendent and E. E.
Turner, travelling representative, both
of the Chicago & Northwestern Rail-
road Company had been in Redwood
Falls and Morgan recently to discuss
the matter with the merchants of the
two towns and give report Of the
attitude in which such a thing would
be received by the people. 1t was
stated by the railroads representa-
tive that the company anticipated a
coal strike of at least two months
duration and as is usually the case
the company will curtail as many
trains as possible, without crippling
the service severely, during the strike.
The discussions that followed Mr..
Brammer's report were evident that
such an act on the part of the rail-
road company would cripple the SER
vice to both Redwood Falls and Nor
gan in more ways than one. A mo-
tion was made and seconded that the
local club request the railroad to
maintain two trains daily as in the
past; this motion also included the
request to the Railroad and Ware
house Commission. The motion was
carried. A second motion was made
and carried to cooperate with the
Morgan Boosters Club on all points
on the matter.
With several discussions following
the motions the meeting adjourned.
The Morgan Boosters Club was rep
resented by Messers. Bertrand, Pol
lard and Root who each gave short
talks concerning the problems.

County Agent Begins Series
of Articles on Agriculture

les of articles which will follow con-
secutively to see if they can be ap-
piled here in Redwood County.-Lynn
Sheldon, County Agent.
Relief to the Farmer" has been a
live subject for several years.
Relief by legislation whether it
would be effective or not) is eliminat-
ed as a practical possibility for the
next two years. Relief must come
from:
(a) Reduced production of an ex-
cess commodity.
(b) Sufficient increased consump-
ton of farm products to in
crease prices.
(c) Reduced cost of production.
Reduced production of farm crops
is not likely except it be by "act of
God" drought, hail, cyclone, FROSTY.
Even this will not benefit American
farmers who suffer loss through such
factors. Advice to reduce crop pro-
duction in the United States, now be-
ing given by numerous authorities,
will probably react as did similar
counsel on cotton-raisers in the spring
of 1926. Every farmer figured that
others would reduce, and that he
could "get his" by increasing acre
age; result-a record-breaking crop
of more than 18 billion bales and a
drop in price from Is cents in Nov
ember, 1925, to 10 cents pound IN

FIRST ARTICLE BY WAYNE DINS.
MORE. SECRETARY OF THE
HORSE ASSOCIATION OF AM
ERICA ON RELIEF.
part One)


This is to introduce Wayne Dins-
more, Secretary of the Horse Associa-
tion of America, the author of this
article. This is the first of series
of articles designed to help farmers
to plan and work out relief measures
for themselves. Business men will
find in them suggestions as to how
they can render some assistance and
help their own business.
Dependable facts and figures rela-
tives to farm relief that the farmer
and the business man can apply i'm
mediately are contained herein that
will give results toward Relief for
Agriculture The farmer cannot
look beyond the operation of his own
farm and the cooperation of business
men locally and in the large cities for
this kind of relief.
1t is easy to talk about relief that
Congress might bring to agriculture
but it is harder to talk straight facts
about what we can do to help our
selves. At any rate there is no hope
for Legislative assistance for another
legislative period, whether that would
give US relief or not. Let every sound
thinking farmer and business man

SHOP-LIFTERS WILL
BE PROSECUTED

The merchants of every COM
munity have more or less trouble
with light-fingered artists who
insist upon stealing articles
while visiting the stores, and
this city is no exception. In
the past parties caught in the
act have been allowed to go un-
molested by either returning the
goods or paying for them, but
an entirely different procedure
will be followed in the future.
Each merchant has made up
a list of those who have been
caught at the practice and a
complete list has been furnished
to all the merchants for their
guidance. In the future any
person found guilty of stealing
any articles from the stores in
this city will be prosecuted
without fear or favor and the
merchants have taken a united
stand to put an end to this VIC
iOus habit.

ASSESSORS TO BE
SCHOOLED SOON
REPRESENTATIVE OF STATE TAX
COMMISSION TO INSTRUCT
COUNTY ASSESSORS AT COURT
HOUSE NEXT MONTH.

The state tax commission launch
ed campaign Monday for uniform
assessment of property, seeking to
put all property on the tax rolls, when
members conducted the first of SER
les of schools for assessors at Shake
pee, Scott County.
Full day meeting will be conducted
at all county seats in the state. Com
missioners j. G. Armson, chairman;
Gunnar B. Bjornson and J. H. Nc
Niven, and Secretary n. A. Nelson,
each accompanied by deputies, will
meet with assessors and instruct them
in various angles of their work.
Assessment of property for taxa
tion commences May 1. Reports must
be completed by June 80. After re-
view by town, village and city boards,
county boards of commissioners will
sit as equalization bodies and adjust
relative portions of the total tax to
be paid by various political units. Re-
ports go to the state tax commission
in September.
Minnesota has approximately 1000
assessors. The state tax commission
for years has recommended change
to the county assessor system, claim
ing that the local assessor plan, now
in effect, results in wide variance of
valuations and that no assessor re-
ceives compensation sufficient to en-
improved work.
Word has not been received by
County Auditor l. P. Larson as to
what the date will be for the school
of the Redwood County assessors. The
meeting is expected to take place in
the early part of April and will be
held at the court house.
