Redwood county will apply for fed
eral aid to meet the drain on poor
funds caused by unemployment and
drouth in the western part of the
county, it was decided at meeting
of the county commissioners last
week.
To meet one of the requirements un-
der which such aid is given, the board
voted to hire a welfare worker for
one year to administer relief funds.
Mrs. Katherine Praxel of Lamberton
who served as welfare worker until
early this year has been rehired. She
was not rehired at the January meet
ing because of the demand that coun-
ty expenses be cut.
Mrs. Praxel will serve as executive
secretary Of federal emergency re-
lief committee which will be organ
lied as required by the government
for the distribution of aid. The coun-
ty attorney and county auditor are
authorized to make application for
the aid.

posal of j. w. Balmer, superintend-
ent of the Pipestone Indian school,

FARMERS WARNED
AGAINST ASSIGNING
WHEAT PAYMENTS

Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration officials have warned farmers
against signing agreements assigning
their wheat adjustment payment
checks to creditors or other parties in
violation of their contracts.
The administrators warning was
issued as result of word that credi-
tors of offarmers in some states are
seeking to get farmers to agree .to
such assignments.
The purpose of the wheat adjust
ment is to put this additional pur-
chasing power into the hands of the
farmer for him to use at his discre-
tion-not merely to have him assign
his adjustment payment to the first
creditor who reaches him." says
George E. Farrell, associate chief Of
the wheat section.

Farmers Losing Land
To Wire MOrgenthau

The federal government means
business in it's efforts to prevent
farmers losing their land, judged by
the copy of a telegram from John H.
Bosch, president of the Farmers Holi-
day association, received by E. T.
Ebbesen of Revere.
The telegram states: "Morgenthau
of the farm credit administration re-
quests that all farmers in danger of
loss of farms through foreclosure or
expiration Of redemption period wire
him collect. He declares it is his de-
sire to stop all foreclosures until in
debtedness can be refnanced."

DR.. Kathleen Jordan
Urges tuberculosis
Tests for Children

Attended by an interested group of
$50 persons, the first meeting of the
Parent Teacher association was held
Tuesday evening in the Lincoln school
auditorium with DR.. Kathleen B. Jor-
dan of Granite Falls as principal
speaker.
DR.. Jordan who had been invited by
the association to talk on tubercular
tests for school children, explained
the method of conducting them and
discussed the treatment of tubercul-
osis as it has been developed and
changed in the last so years.
"Well-known physicians" she said,
emphasize the fact that no disease
is more easily cured if treatment may
begin early in its development. By
the simple Manteaux tests and later
x-rays, cases in the early stages may
be detected and further infection pre-
vented. For this reason, the tests
are especially valuable for school
children since it has been discovered,
that the greater number of cases are
found in the teen age and in the ear
ly adult age"
DR.. Jordan described the hopeless
attitude of the tubercular patient Of
so years ago and compared that day
with the present, when great headway
has been made in the control of the
disease and health authorities look
forward to the time when it shall
have disappeared.
Other numbers on the program
were given by an instrumental trio,
Dale Cherry, Oscar Joneson Jr. and
Robert Tiffany with Mrs. Joneson at
the piano and two quartet numbers
sung by T. F. Reed, H. ". Starr, F.
H. Anthony and C. A. Lauterbach.
The contest conducted by the mem
bership committee, assisted by the
teachers of the first six grades, was
won by Miss Geneva Tronson's room.
