TYLER CITES NEED
OF MORE PROJECTS
FOR ERA WORKERS
Only 100 of 800 on List Now
Getting Work; Villages
Asked to Help

A need for more projects to pro-
vide more jobs and relieve more OF
the unemployment was cited by Le-
land S. Tyler, county E. R. A. dis
bursting officer, this week.
Of 800 men on the emergency relief
lists, only 100 are at work this week
on county projects. If county villages
would furnish enough projects for
approval, more of the men could be
placed, he said. AS the situation
stands the amount of money availab-
le is greater than the amount being
used.
The 100 men who will start a new
month Friday are working on Mil
roy streets, Wanda village hall, Bel
view streets and sidewalks, Lamber-
ton school, North Redwood road, the
county home and Morgan school. Am
ong the projects in the state office
for approval are work on the Sea-
forth school and the Wabasso city
hall.
Figures compiled at the office show
that during June, $4,910.20 was spent
on projects. 1t is estimated that dur
ing July, the total will drop to about
$4,000 unless more projects are ap-
proved.
B. L. Bjertson and B. j. Parson,
both of Redwood Falls, will begin
work Friday on survey of cooper
ative associations.

Delhi Observes FHiftieth Anniversary
of Founding at July 4 Celebration
Large Crowd Attends, Seaf0rth
Ball Team Beats Delhi,
Morten Speaks

Fifty years old this year, Delhi
village commemorated the anniver-
sary in connection with it's annual
Fourth of July celebration which as
usual drew a large crowd from the
surrounding area and from neighbor-
ing towns.
A patriotic parade, a program at
which Julian E. Morten, Redwood
Falls attorney, was the principal
speaker, ball game, street sports
and dances made up the program.
Seaforth defeated Delhi IL to in the
ball game.
Few persons still living in the vii
lage can recall when it was first
plated in 1884 on land largely own
ed by Asa Y. FELTON,. That was the
year the railroad went through and
settlers began to drift in.
One Of the first to arrive was j. L,
Borg who purchased shed from Mr.
FELTON, in 1884 where he lived, operat-
ed a small store and bought grain
Mr.. and Mrs. Borg observed the fifty
second anniversary of their marriage
March Is.
A. H. Anderson, who afterwards
was county auditor, came the same
year and with C. o. Borg, a brother
of ]. L. Borg, operated the Borg store
for time. H. G. Heath, another OF
the very earliest settlers, was grain
buyer and R. R. Hurlbut was the
first station agent.
The year 1884 was big one fo1
the little village and in 1885 Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Boehm saw the need OF
a hotel. and livery stable which they
promptly started. J. L. Borg also
built a new store. In 1886, G. O.
Borg, now a resident of Minneapolis
started a store and Olaf Knutson
opened blacksmith shop. In 1887
John Cummings purchased a shed
and began buying grain for what is
now the Great Western Grain COM
pany.
Early farmers in the territory were
Alex McCorquodale and Dan and
Duncan R. McCorquodale, his sons.
Dan lives in Florida but spends his
summers here and Duncan now lives
in Delhi. They came in 1868, long
before the village was formed.
The only other residents at that
time were James and John Anderson
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Leslie joined them
in 1870. Mrs. Leslie died February
IL this year at the age of 1O2. Her
daughter, Tena, was the first white
child born in Delhi township.
Other early families of the village
were Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh MacDougall
Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Bunting, Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Stewart, Mr.. and Mrs
Archie Mclean, Mrs. Christine Neale
who now lives in Redwood Falls, Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. Lagerstrom, several
Mckay families and James johnson
who now lives at Mankato.

FRAZIER MORTGAGE
BILL BECOMES LAW,
GIVES DEBT RELIEF
Measure Provides Foreclosure
Relief, Moratorium If
Necessary

President FRANKLIN -. hOOSeVelt
signed the Frazier-Lemke farm mort
gage measure, approved by congress,
and described as zone of the broad
est acts yet passed for the relief OF
any class of debtors" The bill al
lows debt burdened farmers a five
year moratorium if they are unable
to reach a satisfactory arrangement
with their creditors.
"There has been a serious lack
of understanding of its provisions,
Mr.. Roosevelt said concerning the
bill, "and it has been alleged that in
surance companies and other mort
cages will suffer severely through
the use of this law by the farmers to
evade the payment of debts within
their capacity to meet"
81 do not subscribe to these fears.
"I have sufficient faith in the hon.
esty of the overwhelming majority
of farmers to believe that they will
not evade the payment of just debts. u
He added that contrary to the
belief of any uninformed persons
this is not a general or wholesale
moratorium privilege"
The bill, first advanced by Re-
preventative McKeown, Democrat OF
Oklahoma, would enable farmers who
try to reach a debt settlement
through county conciliation commits
sions to ask federal courts that
they be adjudged bankrupt. The
conciliation commissions were au-
thorized during the Hoover admin
istration but advocates of addition
al farm debt relief claimed they have
helped the producers very little.
After the farmer begins bank
ruptcy proceedings the court is to
appoint appraisers to arrive at the
"fair value" Of his land and chattels,
if liens are held against them.
If that appraisal is satisfactory to
the lien holders, the farmers may
pay off the indebtedness over a
six-year period at rates Of interest
which begin at one per cent on the
total and gradually rise to five pei
cent.
Any creditor may block the settle
ment if he desires. But if he does
the Federal court is authorized to
give the farmer five year mora.
torium. During that time, the debtor
would keep his place and pay a "fail
rental value" to be determined by the
court. This rent would be divided
among the creditors.
At the end of the five year period
the court may make new appraisa
of the property and the farmer
could still be relieved of his debts il
the lien holders accept that valua
tion and it is paid. Otherwise, fore
closure may be resorted to.
"In the actual operation of tht
law" Mr.. Roosevelt said, 81 do not
believe that losses of capital will
greatly exceed, if they exceed at al
the losses that would be sustained il
this measure were not signed"
The president said the measure
"will stop foreclosures" and that the
mere threat of it's use should speed
the refnancing program of the Farm
Credit Administration.
"It will prevent deficiency judg
ments" he said, "a form of liabilit!
which, in the judgment of man!
thinking business men, ought to b.
abolished entirely.

High School Ball Game in Winsted Tomorrow
 Afternoon

Naugatuck, May 7-The Naug. atuek high school team plays It's first out-of-town game tomorrow afternoon when 1t will journey to Wipsted to meet the Gilbert high teatn, Naugatuok has thus far won threo of four games played, losing only to Crosby high here, and is out to pile up It's win total.
 It pulled a tight ono out of tho bag Saturday when it trimmed Wilby high of Waterbury at Recre- ation field by 5-4 count. Local followers were encouraged by the improved fielding of the team and by the fact that Crodo, pitching his second game in four days, turned in pretty good performance. Ed monds was again catching.
 Had News
 Two errors contributed to Will by's defeat but if Naugatuck had not been playing headup ball throughout the game, 1t would have been beaten. The Naugatuck battcrs found Frank Berardi hard to hit. garnering only i've hits of his delivery, but they hit him at the right time to produce runs.
 Wilby took m early lead. Naugy tied 1t in the first inning. Wilby jumped into the front again In the fourth and added another in the fifth but the Garnet rallied to score one in the fifth and two in the sixth. Wilby tied things up in the seventh but the locals, aided by Gagain's wild heave. scored in the eighth and held this lead.

DERBY CROWD WAS REAL HAPPY ONE,
 SAYS MATT WIN N

Louisville, ky, May 7-(UP)-- Take 1t from Col. Matt Winn; Sa. turday's Kentucky Derby was the greatest In the history of the clas- sic.
 With the road of tho crowd, tho thunder of hoofs and the clink of n thousand julep glasses stil cchoing in his ears, Col. Winn, genial pres- idcnt of the American Turf Asso- citation which controls Churchill Downs, came right out and said that last night. Yes sah!
 .. Col. Winn saw the first derby run oR when lad of f4. He was pcrchcd in a tree at the time. He saw aii the others. Hence he spoke with authority.
 He explained, "it was one of the largestc rowds ever assembled at the Downs and the happiest derby crowd I ever saw. Repeal may have had something to do with it's tenor. but the size, affluence and spirit Of the througs can be taken as a sure sign that good times have returned. The old saying that prosperity is just around the corner can be for gotten now.
 "As for the race itself, it was de- cidedly open in the opinion of the experts, and that uncertainty un- doubtedly acted as a magnet in at tracting race goers. Yes indeed, 1t was a great derby, and things are looking up."

Goshen. N. Y. (UP)-The smartly dressed woman may be duly proud Of her new foot-gear at this season of the year, but she hasn't anything on harness horses here which are getting a brand new set of shoes for spring wear.
 Reiegated to the limbo of lost arts by most persons, smithIes are still doing a brisk business in such cradles Of racing as Goshen. Jim Lettney. 46 years at his trade of shoeing trotters and pacers, just now Is laborIng at shoeing more than 100 horses in training here for the Grand Circuit with snap pier models than they've sporfed during the winter months. And It's no samII task if you ask Jim.
 Harness horses have been equipped with corked shoes all winter to give them a better grip on the uncertain footing," Jim ex- piained. 'Now. with the track in near-normaI shape, I've got to sub- stItute lighter. spring shoes. True, toe, if a trotfer is inclined to step too high ! must shoe him with two to six ounce brass weights on his toes 10 extend his stride, while others that should step trifle higher than they care f0 do are persuaded by placing weights on their heels"
