R'rkers Discuss Bond Outlook.

Capital bankers regard as very i'm
portant and encouraging, statements
mace by Acting Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau regarding funds under
his control which could be used for
supporting bonds.
Among the funds which could be ap-
piled for extensive purchases of Gov
eminent bonds as a means of raising
bond prices, or at least stopping de-
clines in quotations, are Postal Savings
funds and money now held py the
Farm Credit Administration.
While the Acting Secretary declined
TO say that there was any definite
policy in support of the Government
bond market, yet local financiers at
tached wide importance to the situa-
ton, termed only as routine pro-
cedure."

HolIowelI Tells Kiwanis
How Local Prosperity
Depends On This

A campaign of publicity is
needed in Hendersonville to show
our people the Importance of
keeping at home the dollars with
which their bread is buttered,
Noah Hollowell. secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, said in n
talk to the Kiwanis club this aft
ernoon.
Mr.. Hollowell said campaign
of this nature could not do much
good in 1888 "as the horse has
already been stolen" but that the
community's prosperity in 1884
will largely depend on the loyalty
of its people to its merchants and
to it's producers and distributors
of farm products and manufac-
tured goods.
"There are in Hendersonville
300 business and professional Of
fees and shops, each of which d.
rectly affects three families" the
speaker said. "These 900 families
have an average of four members
each. or total of $500 people
who are dependent for their sub
sistence on the prosperity of en-
ployers. An earned dollar may be
ours to spend as we wish, but if
we spend it elsewhere than in
Hendersonville we are making it
less probable that it will return
and at the same time making our
jobs less secure"
The annual exchange of Christ
mas presents took place at the
meeting. and these later were
turned over to the committee in
charge Of the Kiwanis Christmas
tree party to be given at the high
school gymnasium next Monday
morning for underprivileged chill
dren. Miss Mary Newbrough of
New Orleans gave two dialect
readings that were much appreci-
ated. Elmo Johnson had charge
of the program.

ing farm prosperity. Peek's re-
sigination from the AAA had
been expected to lead to some
change in program but yester-
days milk order was the first
official indication that his mar
keting program was being scrap
ped. -,
Incidentally, the Chicago milk
agreement marked the admins
tration's first entrance under
the recovery program into a
field where racketeers were
active.
The next attempt to diminish
racketeering by recovery pro
grams was in the cleaning and
dying industry. That code has
been more widely violated than
any other yet imposed and was
altered last by 20 per cent
reduction in minimum prices
fixed by the code.

day that the farmer was on the
road to recovery, and to sup

that the winter wheat crop has

FIRE DEPARTMENT
ANSWERS 2 CALLS

After being called from their beds
at a. m. to answer one call Sunday,
Redwood Falls firemen had almost as
unpleasant an experience Monday
when they waited IL minutes after
being called before they found out
where the call came from.
The first call was to the Stensvad
garage where fire started in a trail
er which is used to haul rubbish. Rud
Stensvad said live Goals may have been
dumped in it Saturday night by ac-
cident. Fred Swain saw the red re-
Election on the window from the Pure
Oil station nearby and turned in the
alarm. The trailer was damaged. !,
The second call was from the
George Hanson home at the west
Ramsey park entrance. The location
was not given and the operator did
not hear the name correctly. After
delay, John Knudson stopped at the
Hanson home and put in a second
call.
The roof caught fire from sparks
from the chimney and the flames had
spread the full length Of the ridge
pole before the department arrived.
Joseph M. Corbett, chief of the de-
partment, asks that all persons turn
ing in alarms be sure that the operat-
or has both the name and the address
before leaving the telephone.
