didn't see any Of the news represen-
tatives there, so Pm writing to both
papers.
Owing to the mixup in the time for
holding this meeting and also to the
busy season we did not have as large
a representation as would be desired,
however nearly fifty were in attend
ance. The purpose of this organiza-
ton was fully explained and n Public
Statement issued to clear up some
misunderstanding and put ourselves
squarely on the spot. A copy of
this statement will be sent you in a
few days and if you would be kind
enough to publish it the general pub
lie will see where we are at. We ap-
pointed several more members on the
executive committee temporarily and
it is the intention to have three from
each commissioner district, nine on all
so as to give equal representation to
the whole county. Before making a
permanent setup of officers we plan
on holding meetings in the various
communities for membership drives
and to discuss tax matters and crys-'
talize public sentiment.
Henry B. Syverud presided at this
meeting but 0. B. Hoven Of Antelope
a later appointed temporary pres
ident ! was re-appointed Secretary
Treasurer. We have forty paid mem
bers now.
Yours very truly,
Edgar l. Syverud, c.-Treas.

The Electrical Research Products
Company, UPON ascertaining the un-
fortunate condition of their employee

BUYING POWER LOWER
FROM 1890 CROP

st. Paul-Buying power of the far.
mers of the Northwest will be con.
siderable lower from the 1880 CROP
than from those Of 1929, a survey
by the Farmers Union Terminal as
ISOLATION indicates.
"The purchasing power Of agricul-
ture in the Northwest, however, will
be very spotted" the Farmers Un-
ion survey finds. "The buying power
of Minnesota farmers will be much
larger, as a whole, than in other Sec
tons Of the Northwest, but not equal
to 1929.

will have a large corn crop and salts

most other small grains, the ability

because of the price situation.
an the eastern tier Of counties OF
North Dakota the situation is some
what the same as in Minnesota, ex-
cept that the extremely low prices
for small grains will have a much
greater effect in decreasing purchas-
ing power.
"In western North Dakota and
| Montana, the purchasing power Of the
farmers will be reduced substantially.
The reduction in the yields Of grain
in this territory will not be % ef-
fective as the declines in grain and
livestock prices as compared with q
year ago. Recent rains have to =
large extent relieved the feed situ-
alton, at least temporarily.
"The terminal market prices Of
grains range from slightly above 80
per cent for the 1929 levels for rye to
about 80 per cent except for the corn
prices. The country elevator price,
however, is proportionately lower, a.
the same freight, transportation and
handling charges prevail as when
prices were at the levels Of a year
ago.
taking grains, for example, spring
bread and durum wheat are only half
GO per cent of the levels Of a year
ago; rye, hardly half of the 1929
price at country points, while barley
and oats area round 10 per cent Of
the price of a year ago.
Cattle prices r only from so
to 70 per cent of the averages of q
year ago, while hog price. levels are
about rs per cent and lamb prices
at the lowest quotations in many
years.
Butter prices, while substantially
above the low levels of a few months
ago, are 16 to 20 per cent below .
year ago and storage stocks are high
er, though the rate Of increase has
been decreased by drouth and pas
ture conditions.
"For the first half Of 1880 cattle
prices, as reported by the Montana
Department of Agriculture, averaged
1914 compared with $11.04 in 1929
and $10.69 in 1928.

Best From Any Viewpoint

trio of judges of the United States district court
~ in Minnesota have united to recommend that the
federal government buy 1000 of
land in this state construct work farm and put short
term federal prisoners to work on them. They de-
clare that this will be humane method of treat
ing these prisoners than the present system of dis
tributng them among county jals of the state when
they must remain inert.
The judges recommendation is very like that made
recently by the Minnesota county attorneys in regard
to county prisoners, declaring for the establishment
of regional work farms to take the place of county
jails 1t indicates that the bench and bar are awak-
ing to need of which the Journal-Chronice and
large number of other Minnesota newspapers have
been aware for some time.
While we may not regard the situation from the
humane" angle the eminent jursts pretend to do
we can see very real merit in the suggestion. The
exercises will certainly not do the prisoners any harm
and meanwhile the teaching of the habit of work
may do lot of them very material good. There
too many people in JAIL through federal and state
court action alike who there because they prefer
to make their vings "easy by such vocatons boot
Logging, moonshining, plain stealing other similar
types of crime Most of them do it to avoid work
and they avoid work, generally, because they have
had sufficient contact with it to learn the great
satisfaction may have in accomplishing results
and winning a living as the result of constructive
effort. This type often greets Jail sentence with
degree of complaisance, if they do not indeed, well
it, way of avoiding the necessity of going
out and digging up living.
This work farm idea is that appeals nightly
to and probably to most productive citizens, since
it bids fair to teach habit which is about the only
thing which will turn crooks from lives lived at the
expense of others to lives which produce surplus
beyond the cost of their lving-Work. And there
is the ordinary taxpayers viewpoint: That convicted
criminals should be made to bear at lest part of
the cost of their board when doing time for oenses
against aw-abiding citizens Owatonna Journal

Rattlers and RumOrs


X four winds. Of rumors that circulate those
which ill founded circulate easier than all
others. This might be said of the which surges
up every now and then in regard to 'rattlesnakes in
Ramsey State Park. Some reports have been broader
and more damaging than this Some have even been
worded to the effect that ratters so frequent and
dangerous in the park that authorities are contem-
plating closing it to visitors. On the face of it the
story is ridiculous.
The Gazette has Investigated the story and found
it to be absolutely untrue. No person has been found
who has actually reptile of this species within
miles of the park. N. B. Andersen resident of Red
wood county for fortysx years stated he has never
heard of rattlesnake existing between the Yellow
Medicine and Blue Earth rivers on this side of the
Minnesota ]. Albert Johnson game warden of this
district also declared he had seen RATHER in
the county. They have been found north of the Min
nesota and in other parts of the state but never in
Ramsey State Park south of the Minnesota river.
