CROPS DISPLAY
GOOD INCREASE

Based on the map displayed at
the recent county fair in the agri-
cultural commissioners exhibit, and
which shows the location of vari-
Gus permanent crops of the valley,
the following revised acreages are
announced:
Three crops, grapes, citrus and
asparagus, seem to be the most
active from the agricultural stand
point: that is the acreage, with the
exception of grapes, has increased
in the last two years, and market
conditions have been good
Grape are included on this active
list because, while approximately
1000 acres devoted to grapes have
been taken out. the industry is in
healthy condition. In fact, B. A,
Harrigan, commissioner, pointed
out in a recent radio talk that if
the rest of the state had followed
the example of Imperial Valley in
wedding out poor vineyards and
those in the less profitable varie-
ties, federal aid would not have
been needed.
Grape acreage totals are 2155 Y.

Banning the sale or use of fire.

city council at a meeting recently.
According to w. H. Buchan, city
clerk, there was no comment at the

ordinance is drawn up it might con-
tain provision exempting such dis
plays as that which are constantly
supervised and managed by experts
although this is a matter which
the council will decide.
Discussion of a sewage disposal
system was brought up and w. E.

cided to make the trip and secure
information needed in installing a
disposal system in Worthington.

FORMER MILROY MAN
STRICKEN BY HEAT

Frank Shipka, 62, who has directed
hundreds of visiting sportsmen to
good fishing and hunting places in
the Mission Lake area, making his
livelihood through nature, was the
victim of heart attack brought on
by the heat last week.
His body was found at $50 p. m.
lying on cot in the main cabin of
his summer resort at the Mission
Lake narrows where he had lived the
past II years.
Ferdinand Straka, Brainerd youth,
who had been helping the owner in
boating duties on the lake the past
three weeks came upon the body.
He had last seen Shipka at $3.50 p.
m. when the latter told him he want
ed to lie down for a rest.
Shipka was widely known through
out the state by sportsmen, particu-
larly many Minneapolis policemen
and fremen swho voted him good
host and came yearly on fishing and
hunting trips.
Before living in Center township,
Shipka resided at Milroy and Sleepy
| Eye, Mimi, and at Cleveland where
he was born.
The outdoorsman bought his re-
sort, A acres, from DIR. j. A..

This is newspaper shop talk but it might be of
general interest anyway. It's all about dis
cussion that is taking space in the newspaper
trade publications relative to the lottery laws.
1t is well known to postmasters, newspaper
and most advertisers that the postal laws
ceedingy strict in forbiddng publication of
advertising pertaining to rafles games of chance,
guessing contests and other schemes that Uncle Sam
has always regarded falling under the general
heading of lotteries. Such schemes are declared by
the post office department "nimica to the public
interest" No newspaper is permitted to go through
the mails if it contains either advertisements
pertaining to any of the above.
Recently the attorney general of Iowa, has is
sued orders to all county attorneys that merchants
in any town, for instance dare not give away prizes
such automobiles to the persons holding what is
known at "the lucky number" And it is just too
bad for any newspaper that should attempt to boost
such gift giving enterprise through its columns.
But does Uncle Sam take similar steps to put
quietus to lottery advertising via the radio? Verify
he does not! Any radio lstener-in knows that local
lotteries being advertised the air in increas
ing quantity Not only that but fake mediums,
numberoogsts fortune telers clarvoyants and graft
ers working overtime through broadcasting sta
tions programs sponsored" by this or that con-
Germ. No reputable newspaper would be permitted to
carry fake advertisements of this sort if it should
desire to do so.
Manifestly, there is an injustice here. A bill
which was introduced in congress recently reads as
follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives Of the United States of America in .
Congress assembled, That the last sentence of
Section 20 of the Radio Act Of 927, as amended
is amended to read as follows: "No person with
in the jurisdiction Of the United States shall by
means of radio communication, (a) utter any
obscene indecent profane language or (b)
announce, ADVERTISE conduct lottery gift
enterprise, similar scheme, offering prizes de-
pendent in whole in part upon lot or chance
or announce or advertise any list of prizes drawn
or awarded by of any lottery, gift enter
prise, or similar scheme"
Newspapers on the whole in favor of the
passage of that act. Or, they desire permission to
carry the same brand of advertisements through
their columns that now goes the air.
Newspaper men cannot see why, If Uncle Sam
permits this sort of advertising to clutter up air
currents, he cannot permit the merchants of their
own towns to compete with these big concerns
through guessing contests. ra1fles or similar gift
enterprises
We believe the public the injustice of the pres
emit situation both to the papers Of the country
and to the local business houses who are the goats in

Learning From Spencer

rHE action of the Merchants association in
seeking to abolish the fire hazard of fourth of
July fireworks is worthy one likely to receive
the approval of the city council with little discussion.
"What would the Fourth be without the noise ?"
may be the question of few but "What would Red
wood Falls be after two million dollar fire such as
Spencer, Iowa, blames. on freworks?" is far more
convincing query.
Many jewellers in apartments in the business
district will be grateful if the noise nuisance of the
first week in July is eliminated noise is necessary,
there are other noise makers besides fireworks and
frecrackers essential, there places not far
from the loop' where the surroundings are less in

while industry has organized. One of the causes of

not enough on the other"
1t is likewise true that the farmer at times like

The only place where there is 1000 headwork used
in business way is in the realm of .big business"
Big business plays into the hands of the other
fellow combats strong competitor long. They
get together mutual dollars and cents basis of
reciprocity. The farmer often builds himself big
creameries other superb pieces of marketing ma
chnery and then turns around and sells his cream
other products the competitor of the creamery thus
helping to hinder of the real agencies for his
profit. The farmer should organize right for eco

not until then will agriculture in America into
