tors were examining a number Of
the letters sent to Mrs. Beall in
an effort to discover the poison
pen" writer who sent the vicious
miSSiveS.
Mrs. Beall was not the only
member of her family to receive
the letters, it was learned, a mum.
Der of them having been sent to
other members of her family.
Most of the letters, which we're
mailed over a period of several
months, were Scrawled, but one at
least was written on typewriter,
it was said.
It also was disclosed that tele.
phone company officials have
learned the identity of the person
who made several of the threat
ening and haunting calls to Mrs.
Beall and they may be called to
testify in the case.
Surprises Awaited
The Beall divorce action was set
tied out of court and a reconciliar
ton effected. 1t is expected, how
ever, that Mrs. Beall will tell a
story of terrorism, of anonymous
letters, of threatening telephone
calls, extending over a period OF
months.
It is also possible that the rec
ords of a Washington detective
agency, which was assigned to the
case for a period of four months,
may be brought into the case.
At least two of the men held in
custody are expected to turn
States evidence and reveal the
facts of the plot, which included
the robbery of the bank where
Mrs. Lyddane is secretary to the
president.
Mrs. Lyddane brands the whole
case against her as the result Of
a "blackmail plot" and her hus-
band is standing beside her in the
matter.

Times-Herald newsboys by super
visors in each section of the city,
Gordon Leach, director Of the
Washington Times-Herald Boys
Club. announced today.
Under the new carriers bonus
and savings plan inaugurated
two months ago, all carriers will
be required to set aside for saw
ings a minimum of SO per cent
of their increased earnings until
one certificate Of deposit, amount
ing to $110, has been earned and
is on deposit in the offices of the
Times and Herald to be retained
as security for performance Of
the carriers agreement under the
bonus and savings plan.
After the carrier has earned one

tinue saving toward additional GER
tificateS or receive the full amount
of the increased earnings every
four weeks.
Should the carrier give up, or
lose his route the full amount Of
his savings plus interest will be re-
funded.
The idea, Mr.. Leach stated, is to
teach the boys systematic saving.
Their earnings have been in
creased 80 1-3 per cent under the

new high speed trains are in use.
The President feels it would be
Wasteful to try to remove the
secondary crossings, as these lines
are gradually being abandoned
owing to competition by bus and
truck lines.
It was considered likely that
new division of the Bureau of
Roads of the Department of Ag-
ricuIture will be established to
supervise the elimination plan.
Crossing Dangerous
The Rockville crossing where
the fatal crash occurred long has
been regarded as extremely dan
gerous, it was pointed out. While
there is a warning bell, a high
bank cuts it from view from the
driver approaching from the east.
the route of the school bus, and
muffles the bell.
If it had not been for hard
times the crossing would have
been eliminated long ago, it was
said.
The railroads have been
having a hard time to keep 60
ing in recent years and so. while
there have been requests to have
the Rockville crossing eliminated,
nothing was ever done.
U. S. Probes Tragedy
If the Government determines
to start a program of crossing
elimination, however. It will be
done without cost to the railroads
or the States, in the interest of
common good, so that tragedy
may not strike into other homes.
Senator Willard TydingS, of
Maryland, calling attention to the
possibilities of using the 1880
million dollar works fund in part
to eliminate these crossings, said:
MANY of those parents who
were bereaved are my friends.
II am deeply shocked at this
terrible accident. I feel great

At the White House today Sen
ator Thomas said:
There is great need for all
the grade crossing elimination
that can be done. You read of
these awful accidents daily. /
should like to see all crossings
made SAFE"
Senator Thomas said the Dis
trict items would not be removed
from the bill, despite the Presi-
dents offer of 200 million dol
lars of PWA funds to the States
for grade crossing removal. He
said:
There is no reason why we
should take the appropriation
for the viaductS from the ap-
preparations bill. 1 am afraid
that the PWA money, even
though earmarked for the Dis
trict, would never be used here.
There is a chance, in view of
what the President said about
main line work, that the
money will be taken by some
one else. Therefore we should
go along with our plans with
out reference to the public
work fund.-

EACH SICNER HAS
One VOTE DURING
AAA REFERENDUM
Wheat Vote To Be Taken Sat-
urday; Absent Voters
Ballots Available

Each wheat allotment contract
signer will be entitled to only one
vote in the wheat referendum,
Saturday, regardless of the num-
Der of farms he owns or operates,
Henry Roller, chairman of the
Redwood county wheat allotment
committee announces.
This ruling applies both to in
dividual farmers and companies
owning more than one farm. The
names of such producers have al
ready been forwarded to the COM
munities in which they can vote
most conveniently, Mr.. Roller
says.
A producer owning a farm in
Redwood county but not residing
here may apply to the county al
lotment committee for an absent
voters ballot. This ballot must
then be returned to the local COM
mittee or the community commit
tee on or before May rs. if it is
to be included in the referendum
returns
A majority of farmers will vote
by mail but a booth will be set up
at the courthouse for those who
prefer to vote in that manner. All
farmers are urged to vote as sign
ers who do not return their ballots
will be considered as voting "no"
on the plan.

LEAGUE LEADERS
FROM HECTOR ON
SUNDAYS SLATE
Redwood Falls Team Drops
Second League Game
To BrOWntOn

Hector, the only team that has
won two games in the Western
Minnesota league this season, will
come to Redwood Falls Sunday
armed to keep it's record clean
while Redwood Falls will strive to
stay in the running after taking
a to 8 beating at Brownton, May
19.
The Hector sluggers pounded
Olivia for Is hits to defeat Olivia
8 to 2 Sunday and earn reputa-
ton as one of the formidable mines
of the loop. Kalberg at shortstop
was particularly brutal to Olivia
pitchers, connecting for three hits
including a triple.
In other league tilts, Bird Island
connected for ten hits to beat Fair
fax 10 to and Morton came back
after losing to Redwood Falls the
week before to beat Stewart 9 to
6.
Other games this week take
Morton to Fairfax, Brownton to
Olivia, Bird Island to Stewart.
With Carruth in good form and
Helgeson handling his deliveries,
the Brownton game might easily
have been in the Redwood bag but
for persistent bungling errors in
both the infeld and outfield. Bad
as the play was in the field, fans
got some encouragement from the
consistent hitting of the team.
Helgeson got his first of three
hits in the second inning but was
caught at second. Matson sing
led but two strikeouts prevented
score.
Brownton scored first in its half
of the second when Wisdorf sing
led and completed the trip on
brace of errors.
In the fourth Helgeson led off
with double which was followed
by single from Nelson Jones and
both scored on singles from Lam
berton and Worsech. Helgeson
got his third hit of the day in the
fifth and Lamberton got his Sec
ond in the sixth. Carruth and H.
Jones connected in the sixth and
eighth but it was not until the
ninth that Redwood scored again.
In that frame Hauck singled and
Kickul arrived on an error. Hauck
was caught at home but Kickul
completed the circuit safely.
In the meantime Carruth bore
down frequently while the bases
were loaded on errors and it was
not until the sixth that Brownton
managed four hits for four runs,
aided by errors. Errors also were
responsible for a run in the
eighth.

Crops Better Here Than Any
Where Else On Trip To
Washington
Heard President and Wallace
As Member Of Group Of
IA From State

Back from a trip to the national
capital where 4,500 farmers pres
ented their views on the AAA to
administrators and congressman,
Sherman Park of Redwood Falls
reported this week that new un-
derstanding of the problems of the
man in the field and his agents at
Washington was Seached which
will be of untold value to both and
to all who depend upon agricul-
ture for livelihood.
Mr.. Park, who is president of
the Redwood County Corn-Hog
Control association, left St. Paul
May II with a delegation of 66
dirt farmers from Minnesota who
made the trip at their own expen-
Sc in two chartered buses. Four
other delegates went by car and
four by train, making Minneso-
ta's total representation "a.
The bus went to Chicago the
first day and to Pittsburgh Sum
day, passing through part of Ill
inois and through Indiana and
Ohio. No where on the entire
trip, he stated, were the crops SO
far advanced as they are in Red
wood county. In Indiana and Ohio
the season has been so wet and
cold that much of the plowing has
not been done and corn planting
will hardly be finished by the first
of June.
615 From Texas
Monday at $3.50 p. m. the dele
CATION arrived in Washington
from Pittsburgh after touring his
toric Gettysburg for over an hour
in the afternoon.
Tuesday was the day that the
4,50O farmers, including 615 from
Texas, 1000 from North Carolina
and smaller groups from all other
agricultural states, will talk about
in the years to come. Five speak
ers discussed the departments of
the AAA in an auditorium which
housed the entire delegation, after
which Secretary of Agriculture,
Henry A. Wallace addressed the
group. He was cheered more than
five minutes when he took the
stage, Mr.. Park said.
Secretary Wallace stressed the
need of the processing tax as long
as the tariff is a part of the
American system and declared
that the plan in the future is to
adjust production up and down so
that the supply is always ample
yet sufficiently regulated so that
good prices will always be paid.
At p. m. that day, the entire
delegation gathered on the white
house lawn where President Roos-
evelt addressed the farmers from
the south portico. The president
called the trip one of the high
lights in history and expressed
great pleasure at the demonstrat-
ion Of cooperation and support.
Pictures were taken of the presi-
dent and the vast throng.
Meet Congressmen
Wednesday morning meetings
were held on various phases of the
program, the Minnesota crowd at
tending the corn-hog section. In
the afternoon, Mr.. Park visited
the check writing office where he
got an idea as to why it takes q
long time. for checks to get back
to co-operators. Each check goes
through 900 operations, he learn
ed, although all the work is done
by machines which are rented by
the department. These machines
average $1,000 checks per day
and have hit peak days Of 81, 1000.

Wichman's recommendation that
the state emergency education de-
partment be requested to continue
the federal nureery department for
the next school year and arranged
to pay registration fees, trans
portation and books of janitors
who will attend the summer school
for engineers and school custo-
dians.
The board approved a program
of floor maintenance to be done
this summer and received figures
on the cost of operation and main-
tenance Of a district owned school
bus from Mr.. Wichman. Bids were
asked on 200 tons of coal to be de-
ivered in May. Bills totalling

FARM NEWS
Edited by
Nate Bovee, County Agent
$4,000 To Throttle Jenny

Sometime during 1929 a certain
farmer walked into a certain Of
flee and stated that another GER
tain hard boiled farmer would like
to see some real work done to stop
the popular rural pastime OF al
lowing six weeds to grow where
but one had grown before. The
chap who tried to please all COM
ers finally wound up by carrying
the mule, but this proposition
sounded like horse sense.
Great oaks from little acorns
grow! The battle of Copenhagen
had nothing on the War on Weeds
that followed. The scene of battle
shifted to other counties and other
states when some other folks were
probably inoculated with the same
type of brainstorm producing bac-
I'LL. Definite progress was made
in this battle with the weeds but
Then Came Jenny!
The meeting at Window this
spring brought people from other
states together and they found
that they had a common enemy
and their efforts were not getting
them very far. The state weed
committee was organized and a
regional committee for several
states was the next development.
Then came the Creeping Jenny
Bill drawn up by the state COM
mittee and introduced by south
western Minnesota representa-
tives. 1t is the result of the awak-
ening of a weed consciousness in a
lot of people. Practically none of
the senator's and representatives
who voted for this bill would know
a creeping jenny plant from any
other kind of plant, but they do
know what it is doing to a lot OF
good land. Under the law, a num-
Der of control demonstrations will
be conducted during the next two
years. The cost of these will be
paid from the state fund and
then refunded, 20 per cent from
the county and 10 per cent from
the township. No expense falls
on the farmer as it is presumed
that he has grief enough from
paying taxes and losing the crops.
A similar distribution of cost is
made for destruction of roadside
weeds.
This original appropriation of
900 for the entire state of Min
nesota is pretty small potatoes for
the job in hand, but it is a start
and as soon as the senators and
representatives have chance to
see what can be done and what
needs to be done, it is safe to as
sumo that further progress can be
made. Some of the worst places
can be taken this year and quar-
antined.
The federal government is like
wise getting Jenny minded and
win establish a weed control de-
partment in the Department Of
Agriculture. Believe it or not
when the Federal Government can
be interested in weed control
farmers can rejoice that horse
sense is moving eastward.
