COMMITTEE NAMED
TO HANDLE FEEDER
LOANS TO FARMERS
Duea Appointed by Regional
Office to Check on
Leans in County
RATE is SEVEN PER CENT
Redwood Falls Banks Handling
Applications; Loans for
II Months

S. B. Duea of Redwood Falls was
appointed Saturday by the Minneapo-
lis office of the Regional Agricultural
Credit Corporation to check up on
federal loans made to farmers who
are feeding cattle in Redwood coun-
ty and possibly some adjoining ter
ritory.
In line with the governments de-
sire to help the farmers finance their
farming operations the Regional
Agricultural Credit corporation IN
Minneapolis is one of II such corpor-
ations organized during the summer
to handle farm financing. Another
of these corporations is located IN
Sioux City, Iowa and others are at
cities throughout the country.
The Minneapolis office handles ap-
plications from Redwood Falls terri
tory and has made numerous loans
to farmers in this vicinity for the
purchase of feeder cattle this fall.
Loans are also made to farmers on
their livestock and other personal
property, this class of loans being re-
ferred to generally as "barnyard
loans.
These loans are made for period
of - months with the understanding
that the loans may be renewed for a
like period provided the farmer MAIN
tains his security intact and contln-
ues his farming operations. The
loans are made at the interest rate
of seven per cent with no extra
charge or expense except the filing OF
the chattel mortgage and furnishing
a chattel abstract.
Both Redwood Falls banks are as
sisting farmers in procuring loans
and a local committee has been ap-
pointed to recommend such loans as
it deems satisfactory. Members OF
this committee are w. M. Smith, D..
L. Crimmins, Thomas Erickson, c. G..
Croker and Frank Weeks.
After being recommended by the
local committee the applications are
sent to the Minneapolis office and an
inspector is sent to make an inspec-
ton of the farm and the security Of
fered. The loans are then closed
through the banks and the farmer re-
ceives his money which may be used
to pay off existing indebtedness or
to purchase other livestock either
for feeding or breeding purposes.
This method of financing is ex-
pected to prove beneficial to many
farmers who are otherwise unable to
procure loans on their personal pro-
perty security, or who want longer
time and a lower rate of interest
than can be had from the banks.

Many Reservations
Force Banquet to
be Held in Armory

Because of the large number OF
graduates asking for reservations at
the first annual high school alumni
banquet to be held here Tuesday,
committees have decided to change
the meeting place from the English
Lutheran church to the armory.
At the committee meeting Tuesday
night, it was reported that $50 re-
servations had been sent in and at
least so more are expected to be pre-
sent. The committee decided to
lengthen the time for making reser-
vations two days, giving graduates
until Thursday night to have places
reserved.
While one committee is busy alter
ing plans for the banquet, the enter
tainment committee has arranged to
have C. D. Clipfell, member of the
1897 graduating class and county
superintendent of schools, give the
address of welcome. Robert Parson
of the 1882 class will give the re-
Spouse. Song features are being ar
ranged as well as other speeches.
A check on the reservations made
Tuesday night showed that the one
coming the longest distance special
ly for the banquet will be DR.. Thorn
as E. Macholda, Wauzeka, Wisconsin.
Others attending colleges and uni
versities in Iowa, South and North
Dakota, Illinois, Missouri and other
states may come longer distances
but would be home for Christmas
anyway.

Another Measure OF The Cost

While the loaning Of money
by the Farm Board (made
custodian of the Revolving
Fund, under the Agricultural
Marketing Act) hardly would
be considered its primary
function, the Board has made
an interesting showing in
this line. The Loan Division
of the Farm Board organiza-
ton is only one of several
divisions, including coopera-
tive marketing, economics,
legal, executive and informa-
ton. Total administrative cost
for the fiscal year Of 1881, for
all divisions, with a personnel
around $50, was 81, 407, 1853.
The interest on loans made
from the Revolving Fund, paid
in by the coopeatives of
the United States, receiving
service from any or all of the
Farm Boards divisions and
the Sterilization Corporation,
,totaled $4,766,0O0 or nearly
three times the total admins
trative expense of the Board
for that period

HUGE STONE FALLS AT
QUARRY

The breaking of the boom of a
hosting derrick at the Cardiff, Har-
ford county, Green Marble Co. S
quarries on Friday, allowed a large
block of marble to fall 200 #. to the
bottom of the quarry, smashing the
blacksmith shop and breaking the
stone to pieces. The block of marble
is said to have been the finest and
largest ever taken out of the quarry.
Only three men were at the bottom
of the quarry at the time of the &C.
cident, and they were in the tunnel,
as is their custom when anything is
being hoisted to the top.
The damage to the machinery
amounted to several thousand
dallars.

Foreign Service

The United States foreign service
divides its activities roughly into three
main categories-protective, advisory
and administrative. The protective
function safeguards citizens and their
legitimate interests in all privileges
and rights provided by treaty or con-
ceded by usage. The advisory func-
lions of the foreign service are de-
signed primarily for the benefit of the
government of the United States,
which constantly requires information
from all parts Of the world for its
guidance in the conduct Of its foreign
relations. The third main division of
the duties laid upon the foreign serv-
Ice ls the administration abroad of
American laws.

Sweet Corn Acreage

Reports from 178 firms rep
resenting Sc per cent of the
total acreage of sweet corn
grown for canning in 1891,
indicate that these firms intend
to contract or plant for the
1882 season an acreage about
80 per cent below the acreage
planted in 1881. The 178 re-
ports received were we'll dis
tributed among all important
producing areas and should be
fairly representative of the ap-
proximate change in acreage
now intended for the country
as a whole.
Should this 80 per cent re-
duction be carried out on the
total acreage, the 1882 planted
acreage would amount to 218,-
$50 acres, compared with $780,
$50 acres planted in 1881.
Allowing for a usual abandon
ment not in excess of 4 per
cent, the acreage for harvest in
1882 would be around 211, ZOO
acres compared with 5000
harvested in 1881, and with an
average of $4,000 acres har-
vested during the five year
period previous to 1881.

SCHOOL ATHLETICS

The Spring athletic season
began at our school April 1,
with a meeting of the baseball
squad, at which Earl Richard
son was elected captain and
Elwood Monger manager.
The first base ball and volley
ball games we're played on Fri
day, April 9Th, at North East,
in which both Rising Sun
teams were defeated. The vol
ley ball score was 1872, while
the boys were defeated by a
score of 7-3. This being the
first game Of the season, the
boys did not feel that any Of
the next five contests would
conclude with a score Of this
sort, unless it be in favor Of
our squad. The first game is
always more of a test in which
we find the weak portion of the
team and correct these faults.
In Fridays game we found
that our infield was in very
good shape and played excep-
tionally well throughout the
nine innings, but the outfield
has some room for improve
ment. Our greatest need is
batting practice. This we ex-
pect to correct and have in
perfect shape for our next
game.
Candidates for pitchers this
season are Everett Jugler, who
throws a wicked curve with his
left hand, Newell Jenkins and
Marvin Lucas. Jugler and
Lucas pitched the North East
game, proving themselves
competent in their position.
The catching will be left to
Lester Pyle and Leon Richard
son, who have both had a great
deal of experience ir that
line.
The following is the sched-
ule for the base ball and volley
ball contests this season:
April 8, Rising Sun at North
East.
April Is, Elkton at Rising
Sun.
April %, Perryville at Rising
Sun.
April 20. Rising Sun at
Elkton.
May IL, Rising Sun at Per-
ryville.
May 20, North East at Rising
Sun.
May 6. Field Day.

ordered paid.
The County Superintendent

at high school of students
which had been a matter under
consideration by the group of
high school principals and the
county superintendent at their
last meeting, was brought to
the attention of the Board of
Education.
The Board was informed
that the acton which would be
taken in the case of these stu
dents was: 1. Notification of
the parent by the principal of
the infrequent attendance of
the student and an interview
by principal with the parent.
2. After this, if no improve
ment was made in the attend
ance at school, the student was
