CWA WOrkmen to Get
No Help From County

Men employed through the Civil
Works administration program in Red.
wood county are expected to pay their
bills without help from the county
members of the county board, in ses-
sion recently, agreed.
The purpose of the work is to take
families off the relief rolls and the
commissioners say they will be kept
off as long as they are employed. Be-
ginning this month, those who have
had their rent paid by the county
must pay their own rent and buy
their own groceries and clothing.
E. A. Pease of Redwood Falls, COM
missioner from the fourth district,
stated Wednesday that reports have
come to him that some pay checks
were spent for liquor and other
things not necessary to life.
eff workman thinks he can spend
his check for beer, liquor, pool and to
buy gasoline to tear around the coun-
try and still leave his family on the
charity of the county, he is mistak-
en-" Mr.. Pease said.
He feels, however, that the money
in most cases is being we'll spent
Many of the men have been out Of
work for long time and have accu-
mulated bills which are gradually be-
ing whitfield down.
1t is impossible for a creditor to
garnishee the government payroll but
it is possible for the board to require
that bills be paid or the workman re-
moved from the payroll. Once man
is fired because of improper use of
his money, he said, it is going to be
practically impossible for him to get
back on.
Some members of the board ex-.
pressed the opinion that 55 cents an
hour is too high for this work and
that better results would be accom-
plished if the wage was 80 cents an
hour and spread out over a longer
period.
Mr.. Pease feels that in Redwood
Falls there are too many single men
with no dependents working on the
projects while several men with FAM
lilies are out of work. He said that
the same condition existed over the
county but that it is rapidly being
corrected.

CIVIL WORKS PLAN
MAY Be CONTINUED
WITHLARCER GRANT
Full Quota at Work; Payroll
This Week Approximately
$1,000 Paid to 400 Men
ENGEMAN ASSIGNS JOBS
Limitation Off on Amount One
Man Can Earn; Truck Wage
Increased to S1.2O

According to unofficial reports re-
celved here Wednesday night, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Civil Works program
IS likely to be continued to May in
stead of March l, further increasing
the buying power of the unemploy-
ed and relieving the strain on county
poor funds. Another $35O,0OO, 900
may be used for this purpose.
Meanwhile Lyle Garlock, certifying
officer in charge of payrolls on Red
wood county projects, stated that no
limitations are in force here on the
amount of money one man can earn
and that worthy men will be allowed
to work as long as their jobs last and
will be shifted to other jobs wherever
possible when certain jobs are COM
pleted. 1t has been understood pre-
Viously that 500 was all any man
could earn under the plan.
Another change in the policy here
was the increasing of pay for men
with trucks from 81 per hour to $1.2O
which went into effect December 8.
Approved projects in Redwood
county are now going forward at top
speed with payrolls increasing each
week. 1t is estimated that $4,000 has
been paid in salaries here and that
the payroll this week will amount to
$1,000 paid to the full quota of 400.
Adjutant- General Walsh has had
$500 set aside from the $4,000 allot-
ment for Redwood county for improve
ments at the Redwood Falls armory.
G. R. Engeman of Redwood Falls
has been appointed as unemployment
manager Of the county. Applications
are made with him at the office of
Richard Cook, county engineer who
directs the program in the county.
Women may now register with Mr..
Engeman although no announcement
has been made of plans to give them
work.
Men are asked not to report for
work until they have assignment and
identification cards telling where to
report, when and what to do. Cards
are available only at the engineers
office.

Not Out of the Woods But =
on the Way, Message From
Roosevelt to Farm Bureau
MinnesOtans Attend Three Day
Session at Chicago; Note
Gain in Recovery

The American Farm Bureau this
week is outlining the course it will
follow during 1884 as one of the nat
ions field armies in the war against
the depression. Delegates from "A
state Farm Bureaus convened in Chic
ago Monday for three-day session.
A feature of the opening session was
message from President Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt told the farm
leaders that the "maladjustment be-
tween supply and demand to which
he attributed economic unrest in
farming, had been years in the MAX
ing and could not be cured overnight.
Nevertheless" he continued, Gin a
few short months the whole complex
ion of the agricultural outlook has
been changed.
Money is getting into the hands
OF the people who need it; it is COM
ing from higher prices for the things
farmers have to sell; it is coming in
the form of government checks for
those cooperating producers who are
willing to swap hazardous present
for immediate improvement and a
stable future.
"This money is paying bills; it is
putting men back to work in the cit
les producing the things that farmers
buy, and enabling those men in turn
to buy things that farmers produce"
The program already has progress
ed considerably among the cotton and
tobacco growers in the south, the
president said, and has begun to af-
feet the wheat growers. He said the
corn belt soon would begin to exper-
fence it from the corn-hog adjustment
campaign.
"But, in all candor," the message
continued, II think brief moment of
qualification is enough; we seem to
be on our way, but we are not yet out
Of the woods and it is of the utmost
Importance that we guard against
letting a rise in farm income tempt
US to forget the realities of supply
and demand"
He said the farm program deserv-
ed the full support of the farmers and
warned that it could not be successful
without their complete confidence and
Although farm prices are still dis
astrously low, some outstanding gains
have been made during the year,
Farm Bureau officers declare. Fore
closures Of farm mortgages have been
brought practically to standstill be-
cause of new federal credit sources
and substantial cash income has come
% the wheat farmers Of the north |
vest from acreage allotment pay
nents and from corn loans. It is ant
cipated that the corn-hog control
,lan will bring benefits much greater
han those already paid to wheat con-
rol co-operators.

at the convention by its ex-
cutive board, j. s. Jones, secretary

and others. President A.

Payment Will be Smaller Than
Was Expected Because Loan
is Not Included
WILL BOOST SHOPPING
Echo and Lucan Banks Also on
List to Make Payment
Before Christmas

1t was definitely learned here this
week that small dividend will be
paid to State Bank and Trust COM
pany depositors before Christmas,
probably by early next week.
The percentage of deposits to be
paid has not been made public al
though it IS understood that the
amount will be less than was expect
ed. Requirements for loan from the
Depositors Liquidation corporation of
the federal government have been
met as far as the bank here is con-
cerned and the loan is approved but
1T has not been accepted because
state bank authorities object to GER
tain terms imposed by the govern
ment, we are informed.
If the difficulty can be ironed out,
depositors will get larger dividend
check early next year.
A dividend at this time is expected
to have a stimulating effect on
Christmas shopping and perhaps
mean a happier Christmas in many
homes.
The fact that the first dividend
checks will be small does not Indicate
what percentage of the deposits will
eventually be paid since the expected
larger dividend was to have been
made possible through the loan.
The Lucan State bank, the State
Bank of Echo, Farmers State Bank
of Echo, State Bank of Golden and
the State Bank of Essig are others in
this territory planning to pay divid-
ends this month

CANADA ADVOCATES
PUBLIC MUNITIONS
Removal of Private Gain
From Trade in Arms Urged
by Dominion.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, June Canada is con-
vinced the manufacture of arms should
eventually be restricted to State-owned
establishments, the Disarmament Con-
ference was advised today.
This stand was announced by DR..
w. A. Riddell, Canadian representa-
tive, in answering question put to all
governments as to whether the private
manufacture of arms should be abol-
ished.
England, Germany and Japan op-
posed the abolition of private arms
factories and announced themselves in
favor of control.
Against Private Gain.
DR.. Riddell asserted that Canada be-
lieves eventual State ownership is nee
essary in order to remove one of the
dangerous factors in international rela-
tions, namely private gain from the
manufacture of arms and the trade in
arms.
However, he said, Canada realizes the
necessity of accepting a certain delay
in application of the principle, making
it possible for nations depending on pri-
vate manufacture to make required ad-
justments.
He declared that Canada regards the
Decentralization of the manufacture
of arms as wholly impractical.
Negotiations Ordered.
Discussion of the private manufacture
issue occurred before the General Com
mission of the Disarmament Conference
dealing with the regulation of arms
traffic.
Capt. Anthony Eden, British dele
gate. explained his governments view
that private and state manufacture of
arms should be treated alike.
The meeting concluded with adoption
of a resolution requesting Arthur Hen
derson, chairman of the conference. to
carry on negotiations about the ques-
tion with interested delegations.
