Palisade, Minn.-A farmer here
who mortgaged to the Federal
Land Bank of st. Paul Is years
ago and who had, until now, al
ways kept the interest, payments
and taxes paid promptly, could not
make payments this year so ap-
piled for an extension. Notwith-
standing that the original loan was
more than one third paid, the farm
had been much improved since the
loan was made, the Federal bank
wanted a mortgage on all of the
farmers stock, farm machinery and
household furniture and an in
crease in the rate of interest be-
fore the extension would be
granted.
OTHER FORECLOSURES

TO Be EXAMINED
u. S. Chamber of Commerce
to Start Agricultural
Inquiry Monday.

A special committee of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States will
inaugurate on Monday what is de-
scribed as "a searching inquiry into
the whole agricultural situation to de-
termine what practical measures, legis-
lative or otherwise, can be taken to
rehabilitate the agricultural industry -
The committee. which will meet in
Chicago, is headed by Gen Robert E
Wood, president of Sears. Roebuck &,
Co.. and Is composed Of II leaders in
business and agriculture
Plight of the Farmer.
In announcing the inquiry, Henry I.
Hartman, president of the chamber,
said:
THE plight of the farmer cannot
be overeStimated. Agricultural COM
modities have declined to such a low
level that thousands of farmers, on
fertile farm lands, are receiving an in
come insufficient to cover their taxes
and interest, not to mention a return
on their investments or adequate COM
pensation for their labor
Fortunately, the disaster which has
overtaken agriculture has brought home
to all of us the plain truth that the
welfare of our urban population is
inextricably tied up with the welfare
of agriculture. In fact, there Is scarce
ly a person gainfully employed who is
not directly or indirectly affected by
conditions on the farm. Consequently,
the farm situation is not the exclusive
concern of the farmer himself. 1t is a
major item in any plan looking to the
economic rehabilitation of the country
Consequently, the National Cham
Der has invited II distinguished men
who are familiar with the problems of
the farmer, to make careful study of
all phases of the agricultural situation
can be taken to rehabilitate this vital
industry"

Merchants Report Prosperity Has
Rounded Corner With Easter Trade

Business: conditions are decidedly
on the upgrade.
This was the concensus of opinion
among Redwood Falls merchants this
week after a record-breaking Satur-
day crowd and several other days
during which throngs sought bar
gains in busy stores.
For the past two weeks one mer-
chant stated, business has improved
steadily. At first we doubted the
cash register but improved roads,
more intensive advertising and an
early Easter are making March q
month which will compare favorably
with other years"
Saturdays business was stimulated
by the opening of the new Charles F.
Gales store which was widely adver-
tised. Thousands visited the new
store and other firms in the city and
many purchases were reported, some
of which were made by persons COM
ing long distances. Checks fom Fer
gus Falls and Tyler banks were re-
ceived.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1932-03-24

Most merchants admit that JAN
uary and February and even the first
week of March were slower than
usual but optimism is apparent as
shoppers throng the streets again.
Meanwhile A. P. Falk, county
treasurer, reported that personal
property tax collections this year
have been better than any previous
year, which was a surprise to coun-
ty officials. Every resident of sew
eral townships has paid in full. Part
of the credit for the quick payment
of taxes is due the fact that state
ments were sent direct to taxpayers
this year, but it is considered an in
dication, also, that money is more
free than in recent months.
Many firms reported currency of
the large size which has not been
printed or given out at banks for
several years. One roll of $500 in
such bills was received. A record
amount Of cream for one day was re-
ported sold in town Saturday.

Rural DeclamatOry
Contest Held Friday

The final declamatory contest for
Redwood county rural and ungraded
village schools was held in the audi
forum of the Lincoln school at Red
wood Falls, Friday afternoon.
The contest was conducted under
two divisions, the rural schools in one
division and the ungraded town and
village schools in another. Each divi-
sion is sub-divided into two classes of
declarations, dramatic and hump
Gus.
In the rural schools, dramatic class
the winners were first place, Us
Jones, District 90, "War Inevitable;"
second place, Florence Tague, District
80, "Scratch, the Newsboy's Dog"
In the rural schools, humorous
class, the winners were: first place,
Verlin Benson, District 83, Johnny
Jones Studies Geography" second
place, Melvin Klots, District 70,
"The Baseball Came"
In the ungraded town schools, dra-
matte class, the winners were: first
place, Ivan Raddatz, District Is,
Clements, Dream of the UNIVERSE"
second place, June Peterson, District
102, Vesta, "Little JIM"
In the ungraded town schools, hum
orous class, the winners were: first
place, Edwin Wurscher, District 10S,
Lucan, "Pillow Fights" second place,
Otto Neudecker, District Is, Glenn
ents, "Fritz's Courtship."
For the first time the time requir.
ed by each contestant was checked
and taken into account in the final
rankings. Several cases of over-run
beyond the five minutes allowed each
selection were recorded. This had
effect in the placing of some of the
contestants as the penalties in some
instances, served to eliminate con-
testants who might otherwise have
been successful.

Airport Aduice
Legion Aviation Men to Visit
Proposed Sites for Port
Early Next Week
EARLE BROWN

Two men familiar with the selec-
ton Of sites and plans for airports
will visit Redwood Falls early next
week to study several tracts suggest
ed and confer with committees from
the Lions club, the American Legion
and the Commercial club regarding
the location of port here.
Members of the Lions club pledged
almost $500 toward the support of
an airport at a recent meeting and
other clubs expect to solicit more
funds to further the plan.
James C. Kelly of Saint Paul and
William R. Mitchell of Tracy are the
experts who will study several posi-
BILE fields and report to the commit
tees regarding their desirability.
Mitchell is chairman and Kelly a
member of the department of Min
nesota American Legion aeronautical
committee.
Most of the land considered lies
east of Redwood Falls although other
fields will be viewed. Accessibility,
amount of work required to get the
grounds in shape and price are major
considerations.
Sheriff L. j. Kise has agreed to
erect suitable hangar as soon as the
field is obtained. His plane is stored
at Fairmont at the present time.
Present plans for the port include
seeding alfalfa to the tract leased to
provide revenue toward its main
tenance. Although it will be obtain
ed by voluntary contributions, the
city council. may be asked to assume
jurisdiction over the port.
Members Of the city's civic clubs
have urged an airport, believing that
air transportation will increase, espe-
cially in the handling of mail, and
that every county seat town should
be in a position to obtain this service
when it is provided.
