DELHI BANK TAKEN
OVER BY LOCAL men
Deal Made Last Week in Which
Citizens State Bank Buys
Delhi Institution

A deal of considerable Importance
to the people of Redwood county was
completed last Thursday when L. r.
Ewart, vice president of the Citizens
State Bank of Redwood Falls took
over the Farmers and Merchants
State Bank of Delhi. The officers of
the new organization for the present
are L. R. Ewart, president; F. j.
Starr, of Delhi, vice president and A.
NJ. Schou of Redwood Falls, cashier
Before the transaction was COM
pleted the stockholders of the Delhi
bank had raised the amount required
by the state department, to put the
bank in good financial condition.
However they also thought that it
might be best to place the institu-
ton in new and stronger hands that
the bank might be OF. better service to
the Delhi community.
For quite some time in the past
the paper of the bank was being put
in better shape, with the cash con-
tinuing to diminish. A statement
from several who are we'll versed in
banking affairs gives the idea that it
is seldom that the loans of a small
country bank are to be found in the
good condition as those were in the
Delhi bank.
"The manner in which the people of
the Delhi community rallied to the
salvation of their bank is most COM
mendable and wise as well, for a
small town with its cream stations,
elevators, shipping association, stores
and other enterprises is in a sad
plight without q bank" said Mr..
Ewart, in commenting on the tran
saction. The absence of banking IA
cilities in rural communities effects,
seriously the farm values.
The new officers, Mr.. Ewart and
Mr.. Schou, both of the Citizens State
Bank, admitted to be a strong finan-
Icial institution, Mr.. Starr and Mr.
Ole Olson, the latter two being former

HOMECOMING GAME
INDEFINITELY OFF
MontevideO Game Postponed Be-
cause of Illness. Other Teams
Trying to be Booked

The Homecoming football game III
which the Redwood Falls -Montevideo
high school teams would feature has
been postponed indefinitely according
to a report from the school authori-
ties Tuesday. The vicinity Of Monte
video has been troubled with slight
diptheria plague and although it has
not been of a real serious nature, the
local Board of Education did not care
TO take whatever responsibility there
might be connected with the playing
of the game.
Several schools have been called in
hopes of filling this date but at this
time no team has been secured. 1t is
the hope of the school authorities that
a game with a good team will be
played on Saturday, November Bird.
The practice game with Milroy,
played on the Redwood field, Friday
October 26 ended with the locals win
ming 27-O. Coach Stockton used
many substitutes in this fray. lnas-
much as Milroy had defeated the Mar
shall first team by a score Of TO, the
count piled against them by the local
proved that better brand Of football
was being played.
On Wednesday afternoon, Novem-
Der 7th, the local team will play the
Olivia squad at Olivia. The opening
game of the. season with Olivia end
ed in tie game, and although the
Olivia team has been meeting with
great success, victory for the local
squad is looked for.

VICTOR ANDERSON
HERE LAST FRIDAY
Former Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral of State Tells Why
He Left G. o. p.

Victor E. Anderson, former assist
ant attorney general of Minnesota,
addressed a good sized audience at
the armory last Friday evening on
the vital issues of the presidential
campaign. His address was given un-
der the auspices of the Minnesota ALL
Party Smith Robinson organization
with which Mr.. Anderson is now af-
filiated, having resigned his position
as assistant attorney general to be-
come identified with this organiza-
ton.
While other issues of the campaign
were ably treated, Mr.. Anderson
dwelt at length on the alarming
aspect of the agricultural situation,
on the McNary- Haugen bill as the
measure of relief, and its treatment
by the present administration. Mr..
Anderson has long been identified
with the agricultural interests of
Minnesota and proved especially well
qualified to discuss the farm issue
which is unquestionably the one most
vital to the people of this communi-
ty.
In announcing his support of Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith for president,
Mr.. Anderson stated that although
he has always been Republican. in
the present campaign he has found
it impossible to support the Republi-
can nominee and that he finds the
principles he had previously adhered
- ox,brocod IN tho n1afforryo Of the
Democratic party.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Anderson has been
so much in demand throughout the
state as a speaker, the local organ
ization feels fortunate in having Sc
cured him. Rud Stensvad presided
as chairman of the meeting and in
troduced the speaker. A good sized
delegation of ladies was in attend
ance.

under Mr.. Hoover. The reasons for his resignation were
stated very frankly at the time. He declared that Mr.
Hoover was favering the big packing interests at the
expense Of the live stock producers of America. When
he first offered his resignation it was refused. Mr..
Hoover assured him in q personal conference, he later
stated. that the business OF temporizing with the pack
ing interests would cease.
But II days later Mr.. Lasater was convinced more
than ever that che live stock producers Of America
had no chance to secure fair treatment at Mr.. Hoover's
hands.
Reviewing his break with Mr.. Hoover in the light
Of calm contemplation. after the war had ended, Mr.
Lasater wrote:
81 was convinced and / am still convinced. that the
action Of Mr.. Hoover as food administrator destroyed
the confidence Of the farmers and stock raisers in the
fairness OF their government, caused directly an IN
calculable loss to them as a body with the effect of H.
nancial ruin to many, and above all. put this nation in
a position where. il the war had lasted the expected
five years. or had continued one year longer than it did
Il would have been impossible to procure the necessary
fats and meat supplies for the allies and ourselves. If
Mr.. Hoover's slogan, Food will win the war meant
anything, We might well under circumstances have
been faced with defeat"

Representative Leonard Tillotson Of Sealy, leader IN
highway legislation during the past fifteen year,
commcnds the recent suggestion Of Governor Moody
that a committee or 81, composed Of one representa-
tive from each senatorial district, be appointed to out
line a highway legislative program for the c~onsidera-
ton Of the next legislature.
The veteran representative indicates that adoption
Of this plan will result in unity Of action on the part
of the legislature. Heretofore highway Legislation mas
been hampered by the lack Of coordination OF IDEAS
and plans. Various sections Of the state have been ar
raved against each other, each indicating that they
construed the highway program rs a grab"
THIotson expresses the opinion that the people arc
n accord with the proposal for = statewide system ~
highways, the linking up Of the dead ends and the
building of highways in counties which on account oi
lack Of valuations or because the voters arc unpro-
cressive are hampering highway Development IN the
state and penalizing the more progressive counties.
Discussing the proposal Of financing highway CON
struction through the medium Of the gasoline tax, Rep
resentativc T.llotson says: The change in financing
highway construction and maintenance may be secured
bv an increase in the tax on gasoline to 4 cents a ga
Ion, and the gasoline revenues. part Of the license ices
and federal aid should constitute the states indepen-
dent highway fund.
"The constitution should Re amended TO authorize

Washington Letter
By CHARLES q.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 24.-Nobody

grief that accompanied the darn
thing.
That is to say. the very best job
generally looks a great deal better

Maybe the presidency of the United

At any rate, Calvin Coolidge acts

He certainly has gained in weight.
Wrinkles OF worry have left his

From all accounts 10 rs beatIfic now
Whereas he has been snsppish. he

The wind-up Of = presidential term
necessarily is rather flat.
