FARMERS TOWORK
FOR new MEASURE
If AAA IS LOST
Bureau Official Says OppOsi-
tiOn to Program is Driving
Farmers Together

If the Agricultural Adjustment
act is declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court, organized Min
nesota farmers will be ready to
lead a national fight to secure
farm price legislation that is con-
stitutional, says j. S. Jones, exc
cutive secretary of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau.
Minnesota farmers are aroused
over the opposition of professors
to the AAA," said Jones. ''They
take the same attitude toward as
saults on the processing tax and
adjustment act that industrialists
take whenever a reduction in the
industrial tariff is mentioned u
said Mr.. Jones.
Farmers are determined not to
lose the ground gained. They be-
lieve that they are entitled to the
protective powers of government
in maintaining a fair exchange
value for farm products. They
feel that the price of many things
they buy could be cut in half were
it not for the tariff, monopolies
limited production and industrial
price fixing.
"There is plenty of sentiment
in Minnesota in support of the
move proposed by Texas farmers
to test the validity of industrial
tariffs. The tariff, farmers con-
tend, has the effect of taking
money away from them and other
consumers in the form of higher
prices and giving it to protected
industries.
eff the adjustment act is killed
and with it farmers chances to
keep production in balance, it is
generally believed that there will
be a sharp downward reaction in
agricultural prices. This will
tend to destroy farm purchasing
power and undermine such bust
ness recovery as we have expert
erced.
Opposition to farm policies is
having the effect of driving farm
ers together. They are putting on
their fighting Clothes" Mr.. Jones
declares.

Clipfell's Annual Report Gives
Interesting Statistics
On School Affairs

Redwood county rural schools
are divided almost equally between
nine month term schools and
eight month schools but the effec-
tiveness Of the short term schools
is appreciably less than that of
the nine months institutions.
This fact was revealed in sup
plement to C. D. Clipfelps annual
report to the state commissioner
of education, made up at the re-
quest of The Gazette after news
paper reports from other counties
revealed interesting and important
statistics on the value of the ex-
ira month to young minds.
Redwood county has 81 nine
months ungraded schools and 48
eight months ungraded schools.
This spring pupils wrote examin-
alton papers in So long term
schools and in 46 short term
schools. Of 538 papers complet-
ed in the districts having long
terms, Alp merited a passing
grade or better while 126 showed
inadequate knowledge Of the sub

written of which 339 were passing

Another life was added to the

IA Sunday evening when the year
old baby girl of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Marks Of Burnstown town.
ship, Brown county, was killed as
the car in which she was riding
with her parents was struck from
behind and turned over.
The accident occurred about
8:45 p. m. just east of the L. E.
Potter farm, near the place where
Mr.. and Mrs. Kroschel and son of
Sleepy Eye were killed two years
ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marks and their
child were on their way home
from the Fred Define farm in Mr..
Marks old Model T Ford coupe,
jogging along at about 20 miles
an hour, when suddenly it was
struck by a car approaching from
behind. The three young men in
this car investigated and finding
the child and her mother injured,
they hailed passing car and
loaded them in with instructions
to take them to doctor, later fol-
lowing in their car. The child
died at st. Johns hospital within
an hour from internal injuries.
The child's first name was Arlene
and she was born April "a, 1884.
Mrs. Marks suffered cuts and
bruises and remained at the hospi-
tai all of the following day.
The death dealing car, 1885
Ford vs., was owned by Stanley
Schewe, 10 year old New Ulm
farm youth. With him were Mur-
iel Hier and Leota Kinney of
Springfield and Albert Schroepfer,
%, and James Rono, % both of
Sleepy Eye. They were bound for
Springfield to attend the movies.
At the coroner's inquest, which
was held at Springfield Monday,
all occupants of the death car
testified that the car was travelling
about so miles per hour.
The drivers version of the acci-
dent was that as they approached
the spot where the accident oc-
Cured they met car with bright
lights coming from the west and
that just as he was alongside of
this car he saw the Marks car a
few feet ahead of him, too late to
avoid hitting it, although he
swerved to the left, the right front
of his bumper hitting the left
rear fender of the Marks car. The
Ford V-8 was damaged very little
and came to stop several rods
beyond where the Marks car tip
ped. The Marks car was badly
damaged. Schewe said he did not
see a tail light on the Marks car
and in this he was corroborated by
the sheriff, county attorney and
other witnesses who testified that
when they inspected the car the
next morning the tail light wire
was disconnected and had a loop
in it, making it too short to reach
the lamp. Marks testified that he
did not know the tail light was
not working and hadn't noticed it
burn for several days.
The jury, which consisted of
of George Miesen, A. j. Lehrer, E.
G. Vogel, F. C. Holtz, E. H. Dirks
and L. E. Langmack, returned
verdict to the effect that death
resulted from an auto collision,
the result of an accident and not
the result of wilful or criminal
negligence on the part of either
driver.

Deny Third Request
For Bank Charter

For the third time since early
this year, the Minnesota banking
commission denied an application
for a charter for a second Red
wood Falls bank Monday. The
Evan State bank had applied for
permission to move here but was
refused on the grounds that there
is not a reasonable demand for a
new bank. Litigation in district
court concerning removal of the
bank will undoubtedly be dropped
although it is possible that an ef-
fort will be made to move the IN
stituti0n to some other town.
