Shells to Dillinger

Shakopee-That he sold revolver
cartridges, flashlights and watch to
John Dillinger, gang leader, is the
belief of Matt Rosen, hardware deal
er in Shakopee. The sale was made
on March "a, week previous to the
day on which Dillinger and two COM
panions are alleged to have shot their
way from a Lexington avenue apart
ment in St. Paul. Rosen was sitting
in his store when a medium sized,
bareheaded man dressed in bibless
overalls and black and tan mack
inaw shirt entered. The stranger i'm
mediately ordered fiashlight and
upon seeing several other articles
bought watch and asked about car
tridges for Colt rs automatic. I'm
able to get the shells desired he then
bought box Of center fire 80 car
tridges. The type Of purchases arous-
ed Rosen's suspicious, and he noticed
that the man held his face turned

A large number Of loans have been
made to the members of the Redwood
Falls Production Credit association
up to April "a, says w. G. M. Smith,
secretary-treasurer of the association.
Total loans for the 88 associations in
Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin
and Michigan were $350,0OO April "a
compared with only $4,000 made in
all the weeks prior to April.
From this it will be seen that the
peas are really getting started with
this months business" said Mr..
Smith. ''It has taken good deal of
time to get our association organized
and we still find that many farmers
who would like to come to US for
loans needed in their farm work, do
not know just where to come or what
they must do to get loan. 1t is the
aim of the Redwood Falls association
to serve the farmers of Redwood,
Renville and part of Yellow Medicine
counties to the fullest extent possi-
BILE and we are now in position to
do that"
A borrower must be a farmer in
order to be eligible for a loan, and he
buys S. share of stock in the asso-
citation for every 500 he borrows, but
the Production Credit corporation of
st. Paul puts in about four times as
much capital as do the farmer bor-
rowers. The farmer applies for the
stock when he applies for his loan but
does not pay for it until he receives
his loan. The capital stock is invest
ed and left with the intermediate
Credit Bank of st. Paul as additional
security for the loans.
"Our association obtains the money
to lend to the farmer by re-discount-
ing his note, secured by a chattel
mortgage, with the Federal Interme-
diate Credit bank of St. Paul." Mr..
Smith said. "The rate of interest on
notes at present is 51a per cent. Our
loans so far average $500 but we
have some over $1,000. This associa-
tion will be a permanent cooperative
credit association for the farmers of

~W:yI- 1t was great record of
leadership that Chevrolet
made in 1888! It's an euen greater, more i'm
Pressive record that Chevrolet is making for
1884! Already, sales are tens of thousands
of cars ahead of last year. Production is
running higher than that of any other auto
mobile company in the world. And every
day, from state after state, comes the same
report on registrations: Chevrolet is leading
all other cars!
The big reason for such preference is plainly
shown at the right. Chevrolet has so many
vital features that others in the low-price
field have left out: Knee-Action wheels that
are fully enclosed for complete safety and abb
solute dependability. A six cylinder valve-in-
head engine with an exclusive blue Flame
head. Big, ''cable-controlled" brakes, the
best in the low-price field. Large, spacious
bodies by Fisher, with Fisher No Draft
Ventilation. And real ''shock proof steer
ing that brings new ease and comfort to
driving. No other low-priced automobile
has single one of these five leading 1884
features. That's why no other can be backed
by such confident statement as this:

ers about utilizing them for work,
Comrade Abolin stated all COM
rades, of course, will be guaranteed
work and in this full account will
be taken of the desires and training
of the Schutzbunders. They are
also being assured of the possibility
of study.
The entire set of questions raised
by the Schutzbunders comprise
problems which have been solved
since the October Revolution, such
as regarding rights Of foreigners in
the Soviet Union. AS an Austrian,
can one work on the Soviet rail-
ways? Have Soviet citizens grea, r
rights than foreigners! Comrade
Abolin's answers were brief and to
the point: In the Soviet Union
every toiler has similar rights,
whether Russian, English, French
or Austrian. Every Austrian pro-
letarian working in a Soviet fac
tory not only has the right to par
ticipate in Soviet elections, but can
even be elected to the Soviet by
the factory. He can be sent to
university, and enjoys all the adj
vant-ee7 Of ec.ial insurarce. In
brief, he is an equal among equals.

Cry for Action
By CARL REEVE

NEW YORK.-As the workers
come out on the streets today in

working class solidarity, the most
desperate efforts of the American
Federation of Labor officialdom
together with the Roosevelt, N. R.
A. and Labor Board apparatus, fails
to stem the swelling strike struggles
of the workers.
In Alabama, thousands of coal
miners, defying the N. R. A. deci-
sion that they return to work with
less pay than that given Northern
miners, remain on strike. The ore
miners of Alabama are preparing
to strike, and 200 steel workers in
the Republic Steel Co., Thomas
blast furnace, Birmingham, are
conducting mass picketing in the
face of murderous gun-thugs.
Steel Workers Demand Action
