personal connection with the Kreuger
defalcations-gave all information re-
quested, and it was said that his re-

Sweden, he explained, in an effort
to establish contact with the Scandi-

cows sold from $500 down, grassy

$3.50, fed yearlings up to $3.50, while
cutters centered at $1.5O to 1925,
shelly kinds down to slips. Medium
grade bulls turned at $2.75 down,
vealers on a soc lower market CEN

promised to land around $3.50, med
ium to good grades largely $500, with
slaughter ewes going from $1.25 down.
Feeders and Suckers.
Feeders and stockers were in fairly
liberal supply but demand was suf-
ficiently broad to absorb the crop on
a mostly steady basis. Common and
medium grade thin stockers centered
largely at 1925 to $4.25, better grades

thus opening the doors of the col
lege to girls at the beginning of the
next school year, that is, in Septem-

Curious Case.
Mrs. Anna Ohlson of Portland, Ore,
has started proceedings against the
Bank at Gothenburg, Sweden, charg-
ing that officials of that institution
had paid out 1000 Kronor of her ac-
count in the bank to parties unau-
thorized to withdraw the money; she
now is making an effort to recover
the amount mentioned. 1t seems that
the money was released without the
customary demand for the presenta-
tion of the deposit book which has
been in Mrs. Ohlson's possession all
the time.
A Hitch In His Plan.
A few days ago Sir Hubert wilkins,

covered that DR.. Rasmussen had left
Copenhagen for Greenland just day
or two before his arrival. 1t was
said that Sir Hubert considered over
taking DR.. Rasmussen by airplane,
but whether such a plan was carried
out or not, has not been learned.

sen." manned by himself and crew
OF two. He is following the American
coast to the ST. Lawrence river, and
then will head straight for Iceland
where he will make a brief stop be-
fore crossing to Norway. Congress
man Paul ]. Kvale and Senator Hen
rik Shipstead were among those who
sent encouraging messages to the in
trepid skipper, Sen. Shipstead saying:
Every citizen in every country will
be thrilled to know of your achieve
ment. You are a worthy descendant
of the Vikings. What more can be
said?"
Requests.

derson, Bellingham, Wash, was pro-
bated and was found to contain a
bequest of $4,000 to be distributed

ington. Mr.. Anderson was a native
of Sweden who in the contracting
business had amassed a considerable
fortune.

before his fraudulent schemes were
revealed). He has now returned from

sending the words to Shine on Harv-

The night was mighty dark,
And l could hardly see,
For the moon refused to shine.

For love they pinned.
The little maid was kinda 'fraid
of darkness so she said,

The boy began to sigh,
He looked up at the sky,
And told the moon his little tale of

Chorus:

Snow time amt no time to stay out

So shine on, shine on harvest

Hoping to hear from more of you.

Hundreds OF FARMERS JOIN

UFL In Wisconsin
In Three Weeks

Superior, Wis, Jan. T. The or
ganization work of the United
Farmers League is progressing
with unexpected tempo in central
Wisconsin. Altho the organiza-
ton work was started late in the
fall the central office is receiving
applications every week from that
territory. Since December 18th,
when a concerted drive was made
for members, 151 applications for
membership have been sent into
the office.
The comrades report that the
enthusiasm on the part of the
farmers for the program of strug.
gle of the United Farmers League
is splendid. Everywhere our or
ganizers go they are receivd witt
open arms by the poverty-ridde1
farmers. 1t will be only a ques
ton of a short time before we viii
have a we'll functioning state or
ganization in Wisconsin. Tn
Wisconsin farmers report tina
they are going to show other dis
tricts how to organize farmers in

DIV a Farmer's Daughterl


Wadena, Mimi, Dec. 20 The
situation of the farmers in this
as all over the United
States and all other capitalist
countries is growing from bad to
worse.
Dairying is the main occupation
here and I know from my own ex-
perience the farmers have a hard
time making taxes.
If they have interest to pay
(which most everyone does) it is
just too bad for them.
When we first started milking
cows, we MIXED four. Now we
are milking twelve cows and not
getting any more money.
My father first kept one hun
dred sheep; now he has three hun
bred and doesn't realize any mora
money.
So you can see we are JUS
working for nothing. Just to make
i expenses.
4 The American farmer can taxi
more punishment lying down thfT
any other class on earth / be
lieve. He just let's the parasite
take all he produces in working
, from five o'clock in the morninl
till nine o'clock at night and the
Z he gets a good bawling out fror
the banker if he cannot pay hi
bills.

MINNESOTA DAIRY FARMERS FACING
EVICTION FROM THEIR OWN HOMES

They care not if you have cloth
ing or shoes just so they get their
money. If they don't, out you &c
after putting in your best days
trying to make a home. For
whom? You may think at first it
is for yourself but in the end you
find they take your home.
If that isn't taking punishment
lying down, I don't know the
meaning of the phrase.
We are living in land of plen-
ty where few feast and millions
starve. We have created all the
wealth and 900 of it is in the
hands of 40 of the people. Now
they refuse to give any aid to the
unemployed workers and farmers
the geese that have laid the gold
en- eggs for them.
Only by solidarity and good mil
liant action can they get anything
They surely wont get anything ly
ling down.
| Some are afraid Of the nam'
radical" which they think will b
applied to them if they stand ul
for their rights. TIE word "radi
cal" does not hurt. If it did sever
al of US would be dead befor
now.
Only thru a militant organize
J ton, such as the U.F.L. can W
accomplish what we demand.
