Confident of the verdict in Ala.
bama, Arkansas and Tennessee,
President Roosevelt today awaited
the response of the Democratic
South this week to his appeal for
prompt repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Alabama and Arkansas vote to-
morrow on ratification of the new
Twenty-first Amendment, which
would strike national prohibition
from the Federal Constitution.
Tennessee votes Thursday.
Linked to Recovery
The President has incorporated
prohibition repeal in his economic
recovery program. He would use
the revenue from Federal taxes
on distilled alcoholic beverages to
finance the national construction
program. He has the power to re-
woke the special taxes, levied by
his honeymoon" Congress to
finance the recovery program, as
soon as prohibition is repealed.
Administration leaders have
been tremendously active in the
South in the last few weeks, urg-
ing local Democratic leaders to
stand by the party platform.
The President himself pointed the
way with his national appeal for
ratification Of the repeal amend
4nent.
Some Leaders Worried
Some Democratic chiefta1nS
were concerned over the prohibi-
tion outcome in the South. They
feared the Solid South would re-
ject repeal and leave the party
open to the charge that it was
repudiating it's campaign pledges
and supporting repeal solely to
capture votes in the wet East.
To avoid such an outcome, the
President issued his appeal for
repeal. On top of that, POST
master General James A. Farley
rushed off to the South last
week for a wet speaking tour.
Publicly and privately he urged
Democrats to vote for repeal. He
argued the future of the party
might be at stake if the South
remained dry.

40 COUNTY ACRES
TAX DELINQUENT
Redwood County One of Record
Counties; State Total is
Seven Million

Of almost 100000 acres of tax
delinquent land in Minnesota, only 40
are in Redwood county, which is one
of the record counties.
There are but three counties having
no acreage delinquent. They are Mar
tin, Pipestone and Rock. Blue Earth
has 4,S31 acres; Cottonwood, 582;
Nicollet, 275; Brown 76; Renville,
6,13S; Sibley, 436; Watonwan, 1858.
Unless the legislature takes furth-
er relief action, the land will revert
to the state. The land would have
become state property this year ex-
cept for the action of the legislature
in granting owners two years more
in which to pay back taxes.
A recent survey shows there were
6,9S9,268 acres of land, especially in
northern Minnesota, on which no tax
es were paid in 1926, 1927, 1928 or
subsequently,. The law provides that
at the end Of five years the land re-
verts to the state unless reclaimed
during that time by the owner.
St. Louis is in the lead with 1885,
1872 acres, which will revert to the
state in 1885 because of tax delin-
quency. Other counties having large
acreages are: Roseau, 100000; Bel
trami, 7O1, ,67S; Koochiching, 514,920;
Aitkin, 466, 92O; Cass, 100000 and

Schofield, aged pioneer Washington
county farmer, was stopped when a
car with two men and two women
gypsies pulled ahead of him. A Gyp-

told Schofield that she was healer
and started to feel around his pock-

failed to find his pocketbook, which
was evidently the pain she had in
mind, so the older woman got out of
the car, took his pocketbook, emptied
it of a considerable sum of money,
and drove off. The gypsies were not
found.
