1000 Hear Farmers Holiday
PlansatWabasso; Committee
Selected to Organize County
Sell Perishable
Products, Clague
Advises Farmers

Farmers who can will be
wise to hold their grain from
the market as long as prices
are so extremely low but des-
truction or failure to market
perishable products will do
more harm than good" Con-
gresham Frank Clague de-
clared when asked for his views
on the farmers holiday move
ment Wednesday.
Mr.. Clague, himself a land
holder, stated that he will hold
grain from the market as long
as possible and declared he be-
lieves other farmers should do
likewise if they are able.
Concerning the destruction
of perishable products, Mr..
Clague commented that such
destruction can only help the
man who does not destroy and
deprive farmers in the move
ment of what small income
they have. "When livestock is
fattened and ready for the
market, it too should be sold,"
he added.

sident of the board of education to
succeed Joseph Corbett at the organ
ization meeting Monday night. DR..

minutes before giving j. H. Wichman,
superintendent, authority to approach
the teachers on the matter.
The board has heard that several

more convenient for the teachers to
have checks during vacation. If all
the teachers favor the plan it will go
into effect.

FIVE DIRECTORS
FOR new HOTEL
PROJECT NAMED
Brand, Hardy, KnudsOn, ThOrp,
Stensvad Are First
Directorate
OTHERS TO BE ADDED
Mueller in Minneapolis Work
ing on Construction
Arrangements

Names of the first five members OF
the board of directors for the new
Valley Hotel company were an
nounced Wednesday, following an or
ganization meeting Tuesday night
They are: DR.. w. A. Brand, w. L.
Hardy, j. F. Knudson, Rud Stensvad
and H D. Thorp.
H. M. Mueller, Minneapolis archl-
tect who has spent month here pro-
noting the $125,000 hotel project
stated Wednesday that additions will
be made to the board as the project
progresses. He stated that much of
the money promised has come from
the country and that provision has
been made to add several directors
from the rural districts.
Mr.. Mueller was unable to state
when construction will start. He is
in Minneapolis today and may remain
there the remainder of the week max
ing final arrangements. He consld-
ers construction this fall certain.
The stockholders meeting was held
at the office of George Barnes who
has acted as counsel for the organ
izers.
The following statement was issued
by Mr.. Mueller to explain the plan:
Legal phases of the project in
clude a number of unusual features
designed to protect the investor. The
stock offered for sale is preferred as
to assets up to $102.50 per share and
as to dividends up to per cent per
annum. In addition, each purchaser
of preferred stock is issued common
stock so that every stakeholder has
a vote and an interest in the election
of officers and in the management of
the business.
Ordinarily the preferred stock
holders have no voice in the conduct
of the affairs of a company, which
is an objection which has been over
come in this case. Preferred stock
holders have representation on the
board Of directors so that they may
be closely informed of the progress
of the company.
Management is employed by the
board which also passes upon all ex-
penditures and fixes all salaries. The
creation of special reserve accounts,
before the payment of dividends on
the common stock is another safety
feature. One of these reserves is FOR
the purpose of maintaining a later
market for the preferred stock at it's
par value in the event any of it
should be offered for sale after the
completion of the project. The bal
ance of shares of both classes of stock
to be issued has also been worked
out carefully for the protection of
the preferred stockholders"

A crowd estimated at 1000 persons
heard the proposals of the Farmers

ed committee to proceed with the
organization of the movement in the
county. John Arnett, Redwood Falls,
township farmer, is temporary chair

large from Brown and Redwood
counties, introduced the first speak
er, Hemming S. Nelson of Atwater,
state vice president of the holiday
movement. Mr.. Kramer stated that
he has worked with Mr.. Nelson in the
legislature for four years and could
assure the group of his honesty and
sincerity.
Mr.. Nelson explained the plan of
his organization which is to organize
all farmers of the middle west and
when that program is completed,
have them withhold their products
from the market until the prices
have increased sufficiently to assure
a return to the farmer equal to the
cost of production.
Attacks Skeptics
He yriticized critics of the program
dectarings them to be short-sighted
and misinfarmed as to the plans of
the organization and it's probable eff
feet. Redwood is the twenty-fourth
Minnesota county organized, he said.
G. F. Gaarenstroom of Fairmont,
former head of the Minnesota Rural
Credits bureau and a Farmer-Labor
candidate for congress, was introduce
ed and spoke on the Frazer bill to
reduce interest rates on farm mort
cages, measure proposed at the last
session of congress. Mr.. Gaaren-
strom recently spent some time at
Washington urging its adoption.
John Urpe, state president of the
Farmers Union. discussed the cost of
production of farm products and
compared the selling prices of be-
tween 1926 and 1880 with today and
what the selling price should be be-
fore the farmer can afford to oper-
ate. H. M. Harden, secretary of the
agricultural council condemned pre-
sent day politicians.
Nelson Speaks Again
"This is not a plan which will only
last 80 days." said Mr.. Nelson when
he took the stand again following Mr..
Harden's talk, "as most of you have
been lead to believe through the
newspapers of the country but one
which may last 80 years. 1t is a
permanent organization for the bene-
fit of the farmer"
He said that the organization had
several more counties to "set up" in
this section of the state and he pre-
dicted that when the association
hands their lists of names to officials
in Washington, 100000 farmers will
back the move.
Following his second speech, Mr..
Nelson declared nominations in order
for chairmen of the 26 townships in

WAY is FOUND TO
EASE COURT WORK
Loose Liquor Law Found To
Have a Clause That Has
Been Ignored
OPINION is UPHELD

A long-ignored clause in the
Loose Law, a prohibition act pass
ed by the Delaware Legislature
fifteen years ago, has just been re-
vealed in Municipal Court, Will
mington, as the means whereby
the court would, for the first time,
be given jurisdiction over all cases
involving illegal possession of
liquor instead of following its pre-
vious custom of merely acting as
a committing magistrate and hold
ing the defendant for the Court of
General Sessions. Judge Lynn,
instead of permitting three defend
ants to waive hearings before him
on charges Of illegal possession as
heretofore, had them arraigned on
charges Of sale of intoxicating liq-
uor and fined each $1OO and sent
enced them to thirty days impris-
onment. This action was taken
under section nine of the Loose
Law which provides that discovery
of more than quart Of whiskey
or more than twelve pints of beer,
establishes prima facie evidence Of
sale and under the law which gives
Municipal Court jurisdiction over
all cases Of sale Of liquor he there
fore was endowed with final juris-
diction. Judge Lynn expressly de-
clared that the three cases would
serve as test cases and fixed bail
for appeal at $500 in each case,
The three defendants SO affected
were Daniel Alfonso, Fifth and
Walnut strets; Edward Balm, 813
Morrow street; and Joseph Shultz
1904 Madison street. The section
Of the Loose Law under which the
court took its action reads as fol
lows: Whenever liquors shall be
seized in any room, building OF
place which has been searched un.
der the provisions Of this act, ths
finding Of liquors in excess of the
quantities permitted by this act il
such room. shall be prima facit
evidence of the unlawful selling
and keeping and storing for salt
Of the same by the person or per
sons occupying any such premises
... and the proprietor or othel
persons in charge of the premise.
where such liquors were found.
shall be subject TO trial by dut
process of law on the charge o
selling or keeping or storing fo
sale unlawfully such liquors" Thi
clause was upheld by Chief Justic
Pennewill in an opinion handec
: down in the case of State v. Chuc
hola which was tried in the uppe
court September 90, 1922. He de
clared ths.t the court in its discre
ton could either try the defendan
on a charge of possession or on
charge of sale.

of AZ bushels. Another phase of
this seed corn treatment project,
which has been taken into consider
alton since 1925, has included a sur
vey each year of the amount of
dust materials used by the farm
ers in Kent county. This informa-
tion has ben obtained through the
various local dealers and distribu-
tors of these materials which con-
sisted Of Merko and Semesan Jr
The survey this year indicated that
only " pounds of these dusts were
used as compared to 158 pounds in
1881, but this reduction was ex-
pected in view of the agricultural
conditions and the low prices for
grain and other farm products.
This amount Of dust, however, was
sufficient to treat GIG bushels of
shelled corn which planted 1896
acres last spring, or a reduction of
1888 acres in the total acreage
that was planted with treated seed
corn in the spring of 1881. Ac-
cording to the five-year average
there have been 1908 bushels of
corn treated and 7,219 acres plant
ed with treated seed in Kent coun-
ty each year during this period.
