Dry Congressman Sells At
Loss On Discovering He
Owns Liquor Stock

NEW YORK, April 11.-(P-A
Missouri congressman who sold Hi
ram Walker, Inc, stock on learn
ing the company was a distillery,
has demanded that the curb ex-
change reimburse him for his losses.
Representative L. G. Dyer, repub-
lican and anti-prohibit.onist, in a
letter to exchange officials, contend
ed they had no right to list stocks
OF companies whose product is con-
traband in this country.
William A. Lockwood, counsel for
the exchange governors, said al
thought the question had never been
raised before, SO far as he knew,
he had no doubt the exchange was
privileged to permit dealings in such
stocks.
If the sale of foreign liquor
stocks Is Illegal" he said, "the curb
exchange would be glad to be so in
formed, and would. OF course, be
the first to take action. But so far
as I know there is nothing in the
| Volstead act or any other law which
prohibits Americans from investing
in foreign stocks-liquor or other
WISE
Lockwood said that while adver-
tisement of liquors in American
publications by law, securities were
not liquor products, and the curt
did not advertise.

THREE CHANGES IN
FISH LAWS FOR '29

Three major changes are noted in
the 1929 fishing laws as approved by
the state legislature, according to j.
Albert Johnson, game warden.
One of these is a limiting of the
daily catch of perch to twenty-five
per person. Until this year there has
been not limit to the number of fisher
man might catch.
The second changed the daily limit
to pickerel from fifteen, previously
the limit to ten per person per day,
while the third change is that all un-
der sized fish, which, when caught,
are damaged to such an extent that
it is probable they will die, shall be
{ kept and counted toward the daily
limit. Fish under legal size which
are caught but are not seriously in
jured by the hook are to be returned
to the water.
Another minor change is that resi-
dents who are eighteen years old are
required to take licenses. Previous
ly, twenty-one was the age limit.
This alteration refers to family lie
enses and it is now necessary to in
clude all members eighteen years of
age.

or with sulphur, the chemical will
explode Or ignite when subjected to
friction or when struck.
Sodium chlorate should always be
kept in the steel drums in which it
is shipped or in other clean metal con-
tainers having tight covers. 1t is
dangerous practice to keep it in pa
per or cloth sacks or in pasteboard or
wooden boxes. 1t should never under
Mixed with dust or organic matter
any circumstances be stored in a
building or room where there is, any
sulphur, even lime sulphur spray
material. Dissolved in water, the
chemical is not dangerous, but even
in that form it should not be left in
containers so that the water evapor-
ates and chlorate accumulates on the
sides in the form of crystals. These
crystals are just as dangerous as they
were before being dissolved in the
water.
But the most serious danger to
those handling sodium chlorate is
from fire. Clothing on which the
chlorate solution has been sprayed
or spilled and allowed to become dry
is easily ignited by friction. Any
clothing accidentally wet with the
sodium should be washed before it
has had time to become dry.

SODIUM CHLORATE MUST
BE HANDLED WITH CARE

Chemists and plant specialists of
the University of Minnesota gave
warning that sodium chlorate, which
is coming into use on farms because
of its effectiveness in eradicating
weeds, is a dangerous explosive and
fire hazard under certain conditions.
Also, staff men of the division of
veterinary medicine at University
Farm have established the fact that
sodium chlorate in relatively small
amounts is poisonous to cattle, and
is therefore unsafe to apply to weeds
in pastures where cattle Craze. How
ever, areas where the chlorate is to
be applied can be fenced off temper
arily.
There is no danger from explosion
or fire when the dry sodium chlorate
is kept pure, says a University Farm
circular prepared by A. c.. Army, who
is in charge of experiments in Grad
lcating weeds by the use of chemicals.

Mammoth Building
Fund Now Available
For Redwood Falls
BOtsf0rd Lumber Announces
New Financing Service for
Home Builders

Money is now available in unlimit-
ed quantities for financing home build
ers and those who contemplate bring
ing their old houses up-to-date
according to information that was
received this week by C. S. Shaw,
local manager for the Botsford Lum-
Der Company. Not only is sufficient
capital available to cover all local
needs, but the plan enables the bor-
rover to repay the loan in convenient
monthly payments which can be ar
ranged to suit the needs of the Gus
toner. In advising Mr.. Shaw of the
completion of the arrangements, O..
M. Botsford, President of the COM
pany, said: 81 regard the financing
service as one of the most important
steps we have ever taken, and 1 be-
lieve that it means much in the de-
velopment of Redwood Falls. Such
an arrangement makes it possible to
build new home and pay for it like
rent and for our customers to make
such purchase out of income, rather
than out of capital, as has largely
been the case in the past.
another highly important feature
of the service is the fact that we work
entirely with local contractors and
carpenters. The same thing applies
to such other materials as we may
not sell. Our plan is to make the
operation of the plan 100 per cent
local.
PERSONALLY I believe that the re-
modelling feature will prove to be one
of the most important in connection
with this new service. There are
many old houses that are in fairly
good condition, but which need re-
pairing and remodeling. Under such
an arrangement all material men and
workmen secure cash for their share
in the improvement and the customer

Mr.. Shaw stated that the new serv-
ice is already available, and that he
is prepared to discuss it with pro-
spect've customers wpo may re con
sidering the building of a new home
or the remodeling of the old one.
Unquestionably such a plan will
mean much to the future development
of Redwood Falls, and should prove
to be strong stimulant to building
new homes and remodeling the old
ones.

The petition already has, been lib

land in that territory, and when COM
pleted the petition will be mailed to

"Skidding" is the title of the
play to be given as one program
of ChautauQua this year. 1t has

The scene of the play is a Ger.

one of the principal comic char
acters is an adolescent boy who
has trouble keeping his hair
combed. "Skidding" is the tale OF
girl who breaks with her fiance be-
cause her sister is unhappy in mar
riage, but after coming home to
help her father, the Judge, try to
win the nomination she decides to
marry her sweetheart.

curing "Skidding" for the platform

bringing the best in entertainment
