TWO OIL STATIONS
SOLD; WORK BEGUN
ON SKELLY OUTLET
Webb Equipment Sold to Kise;
WestbrOOk Man Leases
Fairway Station

News was plentiful in the filling
station field here this week as two
stations changed hands and construc-
ton was started on a new outlet for
Sicily Oil company products at
Bridge and Washington streets.
The station will be "a feet by 80
feet, built Of tile and white stucco
and will have two islands and six
pumps besides restrooms and a
greasing room. It will be completed
about June rs.
A. F. Larberg of Kansas City,
superintendent Of construction, was
here to make the transaction. The
Sicily firm purchased the lot about
two years ago but is understood to
have delayed building a station until
"better times" The move is taken
as an indication that the company has
faith in the permanency Of recent
business improvement. Sicily recent
ly acquired a bulk plant at North
Redwood.
w. L. Hardy has the contract and
his construction crew began wreck
ing the old Fred Knapp house, which
is something of landmark, Friday
to make room for the new station.
The house was built by Jacob Sch
mahl, father of Julius, Herman and
A. C. Schmahl, in 1877. It was among
the first here.
The Schmahls moved here in 1870
and operated the old brewery which
stood on the same site until it burn
ed in 1876. The house was then
erected. Prior to that time the fami-
ly lived in the town hall.
The Fairway Oil company on High
way IA on the east edge of the city
has been leased by A. H. Abrahams
of Westbrook and will open for bust
ness Saturday.
The Texas Company products, dis
tributed by Redwood Oil Company,
Inc, will be sold. The station will
be improved.
Mr.. and Mrs. Abrahams and their
family of five children have moved
here. Bert Christensen, who operat-
ed the Fairway station, will move to
Morgan where he will run a Webb
station.
The Webb Oil station equipment
formerly owned by Don Inglis and
Gilbert Dennistoun was sold Thursday
to L. j. Kise who took possession
that night. Jack Robinson will man
age the station, assisted by Gilbert
Dennistoun and Palmer and Douglas
Kise after school closes in June. They
will continue to handle Webb pro-
ducts. Don Inglis may accept posi-
ton with the Webb company at IVAN
hoe.

REV. RELANDURCES
VETERANS TOSTAND
BY ORGANIZATIONS
National Chaplain of Veterans
of Foreign Wars Speaks
at Memorial Program

Despite turning legislation which
is wipingi out the sole income of
many disabled soldiers, widows and
orphans, we must stick together
stick together like we did in Europe
in 1917 and if we are licked, go down
fighting" Rev. Claude E. Ireland of
Minneapolis, national chaplain of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, declared
at a memorial program of the local
post at the armory Sunday night.
"These men went through living
hell in Europe during the worldwide
struggle for democracy, but did they
succeed? The war is not over and
will not be until every man who saw
action on the battle field has answer
ed his final summons"
Since the first day the soldier en-
listed to fight for his country, Rev.
Ireland said, he has been donating
money to the government through
insurance, liberty loan bonds and now
the disability money which is due
him.
The national chaplain took the au-
dience back with him to 1916 when
American troops were stationed on
the Mexican border. He told of the
events leading up to December IA,
1917 when several thousand soldiers
crowded onto the Leviathan and sail
ed for Europe.
Before we left America" he point
ed out, 1--WE had to sign a blank for
the amount of money we wished TAX
EN- out of our wages for a dependent.
The government did not make the
step compulsory but it recommended
it.
"We had to buy government insur-
ance out of our wages and liberty
loan bonds. Neither was compulsory
but the captain advised it. The Unit
ed States government never gave a
dollars worth of insurance to the
American soldier in spite of reports
that it did-it was paid in allotment,
out of our salary checks"
In speaking of few manufacturing
companies which were made rich dur
ing the war, he said, "some still blame
the doughboy for ending the war be-
fore contracts for war munitions,
clothing and food were fulfilled. The
food that the American people back
home went without so graciously,
never reached the soldiers"
He closed his discourse urging a
hearty response to the coming poppy
day sale and recommending a Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars auxiliary in
Redwood Falls.
Other numbers on the program in
cluded a song by the Methodist
church junior choir, memorial prayer
by Rev. G. E. Martin, song by Fred
Anthony, selection by the brass
quartet of the Redwood Falls High
school, John Anthony, Keith Mckay,
Oscar Joneson, Jr. and Robert Tiff
any and the benediction by Rev.
Oscar Joneson.

NATIONAL LEADERS
OF FARM BUREAU
TO EXPLAIN WORK
Redwood County Delegates Will
Attend District Meeting
at Madison May rs

The things million militant farm
ers have done to obtain recognition
at Washington, and the work that re-
mains to be done before farmers can
receive cost of production plus for

Farm Bureau leaders at the annual
spring district conference of county
and township Farm Bureau unit
leaders to be held at Madison May
Is. Farm leaders from Redwood,
Lac qui Parle, Yellow Mediciae, Lin
coin, Lyon, Stevens and Renville

Steering a middle course between
meek submission and Intellectual out
lawry, the Farm Bureau has gained
valuable concessions for agriculture,
both at Washington and at the Min
nesota state capitol, farm leaders
assert. That steady day-after-day
campaigning for reform mesS ares is
more effective than scattered, sporad-
ic uprisings is seen in the fact that
farm mortgage moratorium and
monetary reform proposals have been
adopted, it is asserted.
Ways in which farmers may take
full advantage of the new state legis-
lation, as it applies to mortgage
moratoriums and tax relief, will be
discussed by J. S. Jones, secretary
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau.
A feature of the meeting will be
the presence of M. S. Winder, secre-
tary of the American Farm Bureau.
He will tell how the Bureau, after
years of fighting for monetary re-
form, has won recognition for its de-
mand for the Honest Dollar, which
will vary in gold content as commod-
ity prices rise or fall.
A. G. Mereness, director Of organ
ization, will discuss plans for the
annual membership campaign.
Ideas brought forth at the spring
conferences will be discussed in more
than thousand Farm Bureau town.
ship units throughout Minnesota dur
ing the next few months, and the
sentiment crystallized in this local
study will be expressed in the reso-
lutions to be adopted at the next an
nual meeting of the state bureau.
Mrs. E. V. Ripley, home and COM
munity chairman, will speak on wo-
mems work in the Farm Bureau in
furthAring community development,
and will present the Farm Bureau
scholarship plan, which proposes the
establishment of a loan fund from
which farm boys and girls may OBJ
tain money to finance an agricultural
education.

shown a decline in the last few
weeks on records gathered by the
reserve board and other govern
ment statistical agencies.
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace met the processing tax Sec
ton of the reserve bulletin charge
with the explanation that -four
and textile mills, anticipating pro-
cessing taxes, speeded their OPP
erations far beyond the level OF
demand Or immediate need in the
early summer, and then had to re-
duce operations when purchases
could not keep up with their rap
idly mounting output. 1t would
have been physically impossible,
he said, for the textile mills espe-
cially to have continued at their
record breaking early summer
rate. He also made public a let
ter, dated July 25, from L. H.
Bean, economic adviser of the
AAA, predicting that such a slump
would result.
Both NRA and AAA officials
toiled for two hours or more on
their statements, and comparing
the mild tone of the final replies
with the unconcealed resentment
which greeted discovery of the
reserve bulletins paragraph, it
appeared that much of the time
probably was spent in toning
down the words.
The dispute was by far the
sharpest that has taken place pub
licly between the conservative and
new deal groups in the admins
tration. It was noted that it came
at a time when, through the new
administration money policy which
placed gold operations in the
hands of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation the Federal Re-
serve board has lost considerable
prestige.
President Roosevelt has given
to other agencies several func.
tions which the reserve board
feels it might we'll have handled.
But this was it's first open slap a.

yesterday afternoon by Gale X.

whelming majority.
"The dry forces are willing 10

on the condition he lays down:
That all patrons of bootleggers
vote wet and all law-abiding citi-
zens vote dry. The drys regard it
as fair to both sides. 1t will cause
