John Arends Paid First Visit to
Court House in 9 Months Tuesday

Returning for the first time in
Eine months to a spot which he
visited monthly for many years,
the Grand Old Man of Redwood
county, John Arends Of near Wab-
asso, called at the court house in
Redwood Falls Tuesday to listen
in on the meeting of the board Of
commissioners.
Unlike previous times when he
was head man in the sanctums of
the county dads, Mr.. Arends sat
quietly in a corner of the room
and heard recommendations of
men whom he had so often advis-
ed.
For nine months-four meet
ings before the one which he de-
cided would be his last Mr.. Ar
ends has been confined to his
home or a hospital.
Twenty-three years a member
of the county board, Mr.. Arends
announced in January, 1884, that
he would not be candidate for re-
election.
AS a board member he fought
county ditching on the grounds
that its cost would surpass it's
benefits. More recently he became
widely prominent as chairman of
the board in connection with the
Redwood county weed plan.
Mr.. Arends is now 70 years old.
In spite of his long illness he
looks as healthy as ever.
He commented freely after the
meeting on events of the past nine
months and seemed to have en-
joyed the meeting. Considerable
time Tuesday morning was spent
by the court house staff in offer
ing Mr.. Arends congratulations on
his return and expressing the hope
that another nine months would
not elapse before his return.
The board convened Tuesday
morning and adjourned Wednes-
day afternoon. Applications for
a few tax attachments were receiv-
ed and much of the rest of the
time was devoted to approving
bills.

NATIONAL FARM
LOAN OFFICERS
AT CONFERENCE

S. B. Duea, secretary-treasurer
of the Redwood National Farm
Loan association, accompanied by
Besse L. Cameron, assistant secre-
tary, D. A. Dennistoun, John We'll
ter, John Ederer and T. B. Fletch-
er, the directors, attended a con-
ference with other association
secretary-treasurers and directors
at Marshall June 4, at which time
officers Of the Federal Land Bank
of st. Paul were present and as
sisted in the discussion. ~
Mr.. Duea reported that his as
sociation had 598 borrowers with
loans outstanding aggregating ap-
proximately $4,627 500 May 1,
which borrowers elected the di-
rectors of the association and were
expected to take an active part in
the operation of it's affairs, as it is
a cooperative organization.
In the course of the discussion
it was pointed out that the farm
loan associations are becoming in
creasingly important in the COM
munities in which they are located,
and that it is necessary for each
association to have well organic
ed, centrally located office where
the maximum of services can be
afforded the farmer.
Executive vice-president George
S. Gordhamer, of the Federal
Land Bank of st. Paul, said that
the borrowers and directors held
in their hands an effective means
of bringing this about, but that it
is necessary to have associations
with sufficient volume of busi-
ness that will require the full time
services of a secretary treasurer
and office help to carry out the
duties expected of them under the
farm loan act. He also said that
this would be a more effective
means of dealing with the affairs
of the association, such as delin-
quent loans, acquired farms and
other matters requiring close SUI
pervision.
Mr.. Duea has issued notices that
the annual meeting of the Red
wood Association will be held at
the armory at Redwood Falls,
June 18.

Mr.. Melons Gift.

Andrew w. Mellon yesterday took an
important step in the direction of COM
pleting the munificent gift of. his col
lection of old masters to the Nation. In
a deed filed at the recorders Office in
Pittsburgh, the former Secretary of the
Treasury conveyed to certain trustees
the sum of ten million dollars, to be
used for the construction and main
tenance of q gallery in Washington to
house his pictures and, as he signifi-
cantly stipulates, to accommodate such
additional great works of art as from
time to time may be offered to the Gov
ernment by other donors.
Details naturally enough, have not
been settled, but it is indicated that the
public museum which Mr.. Mellon has
.visioned will be one of the richest and
most notably distinctive in the world.
In effect, he is doing what Henry Nv
Evening star., 1935-10-15

did when he "laid the foundations" OF
the Louvre in Paris. He is establish
ing a center to which, as to a magnet,
valuable and celebrated canvases may
come during centuries yet to be. AS he
declared last Spring, his purpose Is to
make Washington an art center second
to none.
The connotations of such dream
are exceedingly attractive. It was the
intention of the founding fathers Of the
republic that the Federal City should
be a cultural as well as q legislative
seat. The first President left part of
his estate to found a university in the
District of Columbia, and the third
Chief Executive sold his books to Con-
gress that a national library might be
developed in the Capital. Other con-
tributions have been numerous, as the
Smithsonian, Corcoran, Freer and Fol-
ger institutions testify; and the end, of
course, lies beyond the comprehension
of man-the Nation, so deeply loved,
will endure; its governmental COM
munity so generously endowed, will
prosper. and its people. SO stimulated
and encouraged, will press forward from
victory to victory toward the ultimate
civilization which thousand prophets
have foretold.
Mr. Mellon, meanwhile, desires no
personal commemoration. His gallery,
he has insisted, shall not bear his name.
Presented to the Nation, it will be the
Nations exhibition hall for the Ma
tions noblest pictures. But even the
sponsor, modest and unassuming as his
countrymen know him to be, cannot
expect that the people will be either
willing or able to forget his unsurpassed
philanthropy.
