Heavy Hauls To
Be Done Early
Spring Thaws Will Mean Load Re.
strictions Soon Is Warning
Signs Will Be Posted

With Minnesota's annual spring
break up in the offing, farmers,
truckers or others having any
heavy hauling to do within the next
few weeks should if possible get it
done while roads are still frozen,
says a bulletin of the State High
way Department.
With the thaws will come soft
spots in unpaved roads which will
make it necessary to limit the
weight of loads which can pass
over them. This is necessary to
prevent serious damage to the roads
which might make them jmpass-
able for all traffic and entail heavy
repair expense.
All highway department mainten-
ance superintendent have received
instructions to keep close watch on
the highways in their districts so
that restrictions can be put into eff
feet at the proper time.
The Departments policy, it was
explained by N. w. Elsbcrg, State
Highway Commissioner, is to keep
the roads open just as long as pos
sible without seriously injuring
them, and then to restrict them on
ly as is actually necessary.
CONSPICUOUS signs will be posted
wherever a load limit becomes
necessary. Information regarding
restricted roads will be available at
all district offices of the Highway
department and at the central office
in St. Paul. The Highway Patrol
will assist in enforcing restrictions.

Win Over Alex And Elbow Lake
Thursday and Friday
Evenings

The Regional basketball tourna-
ment held at Alexandria Thursday
and Friday evenings Of last week
attracted many fans from this city.
The rangy and fast quint from
Elbow Lake and Detroit Lakes
opened the tournament. The Grant

department for the students from
Detroit Lakes. The final score was
Elbow Lake 35, Detroit Lakes Is.
Alexandria met the huskies from
Brainerd in the second game of
the tournament. The Crow Wing
county quint early showed their
Superiority over Alex. The final
score was Brainerd %, Alex IL.
Friday evening Alexandria de-
feated Detroit Lakes handily for
the consolation prize by comfort
able margin.
The finals between Brainerd and
Elbow Lake was slam bang affair.
The buriy lads from Brainerd
eventually wore down the opposi-
ton and became regional cham
piops.
The Twin City newspapers dis
cussing the state tournament which
is being played in Minneapolis this
week end, predict that Brainerd
will 60 a long way in the tourna-
ment. The experts give Red Wing

Warning Against
Truck PeddlerS
State Department of Agriculture
Finds Many Irresponsible Sales
Men Are Covering Minnesota

The Seed Division of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Dairy and
Food cautions the seed buying pub
lie to beware of seed peddlers who
drive into the state from all direc-
tons and sell alfalfa, clovers and
other farm seeds at a price attrac-
tive to the buyer because it is just
below what the local merchant is
offering the same variety of seed
for.
Last year just too late to do
much good, the department was
notified of alfalfa seed being truck
ed in from Oklahoma-also seed
was shipped in from Kansas. Ev-
cry one should know that alfalfa
seed from the southwestern states
is not adapted to Minnesota condi-
tions.
Therefore, farmers and local buy
ers, be careful-who you buy from
and where the seed was grown. See
that the full label is on each bag
and that he state where growing is
given. Keep the label showing the
name of the trucker and get and
keep the license number. Then tell
the Seed Division about it.

to Sank Centre from O'Neill, Neb.,
where they had been in the same
line of business.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hough arrived

hold goods came Sunday and Mr.,
and Mrs. Hershiser will occupy the
house at TIA Pine street April LIST,
the same now being occupied by
Harold L. Clark.
Messrs Hough and Hershiser fin
ally decided upon this point as their
future location after looking over
a considerable territory, choosing
this as the best location they had
seen. For some reason or other,
general business conditions seem to
be better here than farther south
and west" said Mr.. Hough. 1--WE
like Nebraska but after a careful
survey, we believe Sank Centre is
a much better business point than
where we were located and better
than most of the other places that
we looked over. This is a fine pro-
gressive city and we are both proud
that we own property here and are
going to make it our home"

The above ad appeared in the

It is also said that not a single

They were not watching their

Of course there are many cor

ton not so many miles from
Long Prairie.
It wasn't exactly necessary to
watch any of the married men

were prudent. The Alexandria,

escaped-narrowly.

Incidentally the Herald has
heard of one woman who desires

to Be Open-NO Traps to Be
Set In Runways

The season for trapping musk
rats will be opened Saturday,
March 25th, in Stearns County. AS
stated in this issue before, Todd
County is closed.

boundary line will be open in its
entirety regardless Of whether both
counties are open or not. However,
creeks and rivers, in closed coun-
ties, tributary to these lakes are
closed. In other words, Sank Lake,
located in both Stearns County,
which is open, and Todd county,
which is closed, will be open for
trapping in both counties. How
ever any streams or creeks, flow
ing into the lake in Todd County
will not be open.
It is unlawful to set traps in run
ways for bank rats. Other laws
pertaining to the muskrat season

Monday evening a very enjoy
able sport card of wrestling and
boxing was sponsored by the West
port ball club in the village hall.
The card consisted Of four wrest-
ling bouts and a snappy A round

The novelty of the evening was
a wrestling match between Miss

ally won a single fall match after
20 minutes of fast hard work.

able to pin his opponents shoulders
to the mat.
r. Duck" Hopkins, Westport,
weighing 100, five foot eight, and
Geo. Blank, 100, six-footer, and
strong as an OK, battled vigorously
for So minutes without fall. Hop

than did his opponent but he could
not overcome the strength height

Baseball Meeting
Sunday Afternoon
Session to Be Held Last Friday Was
Unsuccessful More Interest
Must Be Shown

Next Sunday afternoon, March
26, meeting of the local baseball
association will be held in the Com
munity Club rooms. At this time
a manager will be elected to look
after the team for the season. It
will also be necessary to elect other
officers.
The meeting which was to be
held last Friday evening was un-
successful owing to the poor at
tendance. It is hoped that on
Sunday afternoon enough of the
fans will be present to hold the
meeting. If they do not show
greater interest there may be grave
doubts as to organization for this
season.
The prospects for good team
are better this year than ever be-
fore, and all that is necessary is the
support from every fan in this
community. If you are interested
and want a ball team, attend the
meeting Sunday afternoon.

Jobs Save Tax
payers $4,000
Provided Work for Many Unem-
plOyed According to Deputy
County Auditor SiversOn

Faribault county's poor fund was
saved at least $1,000 last year as a
result of a state federal highway
work which provided jobs for many
of it's unemployed according to a
letter from Deputy County Auditor
H. G. Siverson to the State Indus
trial Commission. Nearly all the
counties of the state received SINH
lar benefits from road jobs. Mr..
Siverson's letter said, in part:
1--WE sincerely hope that the pres
ent legislature will appreciate the
desirability of having funds avail
able in order that the various coun-
ties may participate in the State
Highway work in 1888, IS we did
last year.
with the unemployment situa-
ton as it was in the fall of 1882,
it wasi impossible for a large num-
Der of Faribault County laboring
men to get work of any kind, con-
dition new to this county and due
to the extremely low prices of farm
products and the consequent ina
bility of the farmers in this coun-
ty to employ the much needed help
as usual.
I'VE firmly believe that. had it
not been for the work provided
through your commission, our coun-
| ty would have been forced to give
aid to a large percentage Of the
men employed on State Highway
projects in this county as early as
October Of last year; that by rea-
son Of work allotted men in this vi
cinity there was created saving
to the county poor fund Of at least
the sum Of $4,000; that in addi-
ton to the savings in dollars the
morale and self respect Of the in
dividual worker was preserved"

Some members especially those
from metropolitan areas, were to
question the processing taxes
which would be levied on agricul-
tural commodities to raise funds
for paying farmers rent or a ben
eft for cutting production.
But from sponsors of the bill
came an assurance that "the per-
centage of the retail price which
now goes to the farmer is so small
that the addition of the tax would
have only slight effect on the
retail price,
Wheat, corn, cotton, hogs, rice,

80 Billion Bond Plan Considered
Washington, March 22-The
administration is considering
strongly the Jones bill, which
calls for a bond issue of per-
haps $4,000, 900, 900 to east farm
mortgage burdens, Speaker H.
T. Rainey said today. A bond
issue of $4,000, OO0,0 900 would be
necessary, Rainey explained. if
the government took over the
entire farm mortgage burden of
the nation.
Washington, March 22-President
Roosevelt soon will send to con-
gress his proposals for refinancing
agriculture and home mortgages.
This legislation, which will pro-
vide also for reduction in interest
rates on mortgages, will be ready
for congress by the end of the
week.
Final details are being perfected,
it was disclosed in high quarters
today, while congress goes ahead
with work on the farm relief bill.
The new legislation is contem-
plated to include both government
and private mortgages.
Mr.. Roosevelt has two purposes
in mind in his proposed credit leg
islation.
First he wants to unite into one
or two agencies the eight federal
farm credit organizations now in
existence.
BY this he also hopes to put the
Federal Farm Loan banks and
Joint Stock Land Banks on a
sounder and more efficient basis.
Secondly, he wants to bring
about a real refinancing of the
mortgages now borne by farm and
home owners.
It was said the new plan prob
ably would be along the same gen.
eral lines as the Canadian system.
The Canadian system provides
for debtor relief or Cancellation
courts. These courts have broad
powers to scale debts downward,
but in this country this would not
be possible because of constitution
al limitations except where debtor
and creditor could be brought to-
gether through an agreement to re-
duce the fact of the debt.
A system of farm debt arbitra-
ton agencies was authorized at the
last session Of congress and plans
for setting them up are now being
considered by federal district
courts under whose direction they
are intended to operate. They have
as their aim conferences betw> en-
farmers and their debtors to ar
range methods of working out debt
difficulties by agreement.
