A TRIBUTE TO JOHN BROWN

10y LIZ. ". "A DubOlSD
cannot refuse the request
made of me that I pen a few lines
in connection with the passing Of
our fellow townsman, John A.
Brown, from the ranks Of the liv-
ing. He was one of the oldest re-
representatives. of the second gener-
alton of a family, the first gener-
alton of which had been promirl-
ent factors in the pioneer days of
this section, and as it was my luck
to be frequently with the latter in
these last days so now to be with
John, aged more than three score,
at the end of his life's journey,
could not but impress me with the
rapidity with which the years are
passing.
John Brown was Of a tempera-
ment that lily fitted him to en-
counter the shocks and sorrows
common to our existence. The
death of his wife was blow from
which he never recovered. She had
been a sustaining force to him and
a help-mate in every sense Of the
word. His melancholia deepened
upon him, and he has been heard
several times of late to give voice
to the premonition that he soon
would meet her. His mother and
nine of his brothers and sisters
survive him.
And now to them and his i'm
mediate family in this day OF their
bereavement, the sympathy OF our
entire community goes out. And
especially do we all share in the
sorrow which comes to the aged
mother who has been suddenly
called upon to bid farewell to her
eldest born. May the courage bred
from the struggling years behind
her. and the faith which is hers,
sustain her.

Neus Letter
BY Harold Knutson,

On Friday last / received tele-
gram from William ]. Gleason of
Aitkin, reading as follows:
"Aitkin county farmers need fin
ancial help to harvest crops. Mach
inery repairs, Irvine, help are
trictly cash. Formerly bank and
merchants carried us through. To
save crops must have help. Can
you arrange through Farm Cred
its Administration or seed loan Of
flee for this assistance. Important
Wire answer"
Immediately upon receipt Of this
message called upon the Farm
Credit people and told them Of the
plight Of the Aitkin county farm
ers. They Immediately dispatched
message to the st. Paul office of
the organization, directing that
everything possible be done to re-
lieve the situation in Aitkin coun-
ty. merely mention this so that
other counties similarly situated
may know how to proceed to get
the help necessary to harvest the
oncoming crops. It would be a
tragedy If any part Of the new
crop were lost for the want of
money with which to gather and
save it.
The downward trend in prices is
giving the gravest concern. Here
we are about to harvest what will
prove the first normal, or better,
crop in several years in a number
of counties, but If the prices OBJ
tanned therefor do not net the pro-
Queer reasonable profit we will
gain but little therefrom. Imports
of agricultural products from Eur
ope, South America, Canada, Aus
tralia and New Zealand are COM
ing in in such large quantities that
we are going to pile up large sur
pluses which always prove disas-
ferrous to price levels. Rye Is now
being harvested. Government esti-
mates place the total yield at A
million bushels. Our normal re-
quirements are about 30 million
bushels. We have within the past
few months imported million bu-
oo ~ Aooho WHY hAdSh oS
though we will have a carry-over
of about 20 million bushels.
Butter, corn, oats and barley
continue to come in from other
countries in a steady stream and
here we are with new crop COM
ing on and prices steadily going
down. On July IL I wrote Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the subject as
follows:
my dear Mr.. President:
I am writing you for the purpose
of enlisting your powerful in
fluence in behalf of American ag-
riculture.
AS you know, for a short period
last winter the American price of
butter and rye attained very salts
factory levels. This proved so at
tractive to the foreigner that he
Immediately proceeded to glut our
market with these and other agri-
cultural products. The foreign far
mer has been permitted to contin-
ue to hold our market in the face
