ON ground that had no well drilled or
drilling. The royalty under the left foot
was listed at $1,000 and the royalty un-
der the right foot was listed at 5000.
GeolOgically, there was no difference be-
tween them. rs there any basis Of reas-
oning that convinces an intelligent man
that one is worth twice as much as the
other?
AT the same time, 1T was q fact that
the left foot ground was rated at $4,000
on Thursday. On the next day, Friday.
IL became worth 90, 200 by virtue Of the
completion of a producing well. We all
knew that it was in oil territory. We
knew that there were producers ON three
sides. We were convinced that the drill
ling well would find oil. Yet over night
the owner Of the royalty advanced the
unit price of bis royalty from $4,000 TO
$1,000 for one percent. The tract on
the right win produce as many barrels
per acre and possibly more. The well
was ON the far side of the tract, so the
price on the offset acreage-On which
our right foot had rested-contfnued at q
listing Of 5000.
The Richard Ihde-Ihde being one Of
the richest OF Montana royalty owners
got their tremendous fortunes by the in-
vestment of YEARS. They filed on home
steads and proved mp" ON them in three
years of residence thereon. Tkereaftr
they waited for the arrival OF the first
geoIogist, then of the first drilling prOs-
pectOr who drilled ON land miles away
and found oil; then the wait until the
drillers got onto the particular farm.
Thereafter came the moment of success
and thereafter years OF luxury. We never
get anything OF great value without tn-
vestment of energy, time and money.
Before well was started, HIDE could
have sold his homestead for small a.
mount. Even after the first wei came
in, hide would have sold. But when he
had an income Of 500 per day or more,
there was no reason for him to sell.
Had he been 70 years Of age. Il would
have been far better for him 20 have sold
a part of his royalty, than 20 gamble
that he would live longer than the time
required 20 get production. We have
seen old timers In Gut Bank pass away
before they realized anything from their
investment of years of haxdshipg ana
toll. Sale Of their royalty would have
perhaps extended their years through the
comfort and security provided by cash
money.
So we say to our clients that royalties
are to be sold and not to be b0u@hS
by aged nzen. The same thing applies
any other form Of an investment. A man
who buys bond paying per cent has
to wait FORTY years 90 double his mooney.
The man who buys stock in company
paying the remarkable rate OF eight per
cent per annum has 60 wait over IA
years to get his ns0ney back. On the
other hand, the man who can AFFORD
to gamble with time can build up an
income from u few wen chosen royalties
that VIII pay hiHn from So 60 $40 per day
for the rest OF his life-eonaethfng within
the reach OF any average American citizen.

MAKING FAST

The discovery we'll has been con-
nected to tankage since the middle
of October and since that time has
been flowing at irregular intervals
but the amount of oil which has
been produced during that period
by natural flow has been relatively
small and has not been increasing
in amount.
From the results Of swabbing,
the production from the lower De-
vonian horizon this location is not
regarded as commercial. Pumping
equipment has been ordered and
will be delivered soon for the pur-
pose Of determining how wells in

Demented Man Is
Jailed at Jackson
Escaped From Bus While Be-
ing Taken from Blue
Earth to WOrthington

C. L. Darling, "a, of Worthing-
ton, who suffers from hallucina-
tions, created considerable excite
ment in Jackson recently when he
got off the bus in that city instead
of going on to Worthington as he
should have done.
Picked up in Blue Earth recent
ly where he was confined in the
county Jail several days before re-
latives could be located, Darling
was put on the bus and the driver
was given instructions to see that
he was put off at Worthington.
When the bus pulled up at the
hotel in Jackson, Darling sneaked
out unnoticed by the driver, leav-
ing his luggage behind. When his
absence was noticed police were
notified to be on the lookout for
the man.
Less than an hour later Sheriff
Musegades was informed that a
man, apparently demented, had
made his appearance at the Ed
Smith home near that city. The
sheriff and a deputy hurried to
the farm but found that the man
had made his getaway.
They learned, however, that
Mrs. Smith had taken the stran-
ger into her home and fed him.
While warming his numbed fing-
ers, he started telling her and Mr..
Smith a long lingo about having
killed two men because they didn't
know a certain word and had two
more on his list who were to meet
the same fate. Frightened at the
mans actions, Mrs. Smith called
the sheriff's office. The stranger,
overhearing Mrs Smiths conver-
sation, hurriedly left the house.
Arriving shortly afterwards the
sheriff and his deputy began a
chase over the countryside and
soon apprehended the man. He
was lodged in the Jackson Jail and
lated removed to Worthington.
Arrangements will be made to
take him to a state institution.

3 From County At

the Federal Electric Cooperative
of Minnesota.
A temporary board was elected

KNDH WILL URGE
ENFORCEMENT OF
STATIC ORDINANCE
Interference Traced to Oil
Burners in Residential
Sections of City

Enforcement of city ordinance
prohibiting the maintainace or
use Of any apparatus so as to
cause interference with radio re-
ception may be asked of the city
council by KIND, the state police
broadcasting station here, in an
effort to stem static interference
with reception of calls.
Putnam Smith, superintendent
OF the station, has conferred with
city officials as to clearing the
residential district, in which the
disturbance is found, and it is ex-
pected that the question will be
brought up at Monday nights
meeting of the council. An ordin-
ance banning radio interference
was adopted by the council in
1929.
Mr.. Smith pointed out that
muffling of electrical devices also
will improve reception in the
homes. All sources of interfer-
ence in the business district have
been weeded out and adjusted and
recently when a test was conduct
ed with the aid of the Redwood
Falls Light and Power company
static on the stations receiver
was found to disappear when the
residential circuit was shut off.
Most of the disturbance is believ-
ed to be due to oil burners.
In order to relieve the frazzled
nerves of the operators who in
the past have had to sit in the
small transmitting room over
eight hour stretches and listen to
the grinding sound of the static, a
squelch circuit has been installed
and the receiver automatically
switches on only when a call is
put over the air by some other
station. Later three channel
receiver will be installed whereby
KIND will be able to tune in on
three stations at once.
A letter was received this week
by Mr.. Smith from E. F. Brown,
director Of the Iowa state police
radio network, commencing KIN
HID on the excellent results. you
have rendered in aiding us in our
police work"

THB
GAH1ACnEI1E1L1 and TnnKII10 Served FREE
Farmers Can Buy
Good Seed Wheat

Because of the impending seed
wheat shortage this spring due to
the large amount of damage and
shrunken wheat, arrangements
have been made to make available
to the farmers 100000 bushels of
Ceres ahd Marquis wheat pur-
chased last year by the federal
government for use in drouth ar
cas- but which was never distribu-
ted and is in storage in Minneapo-
lis.
George A. Patton of the Red
wood Falls Farmers Elevator
company has suggested that many
farmers will want to bring in
their inferior wheat or any other
grain that is not suitable for seed,
dispose of it at the current market
and order the good seed. Applica-
tion has been made to the rail-
roads for seed rate, which if
granted will mean a SO per cent
reduction in freight.

Mystery Blast
At Montgomery
Causes | Death
Public Meeting Places Are
Closed; Inspection To
Determine Cause

Montgomery-State fire mar
shals ordered all public meeting
places here closed after myster-
ious explosion early Tuesday
wrecked a home and fatally in
jured a woman.
Involved in the order were the
moving picture theater, the an
nual Presidents ball, scheduled
for Thursday night, and schools.
School children, officials said, will
be given a vacation for the rest of
the week.
Mrs. Mary Peterka, 80, died in
the New Prague Community hos
pital late Tuesday from back, face
and arm burns suffered when the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Sch
lies was blasted from its founda-
tions and wrecked. She was Mrs.
Schlies' mother. The other two oc-
cupants Of the house were unin-
jUred.
City officials advanced the
theory that sewer gas bottled up
in mains by ice-encrusted man
holes was responsible for the
blasts that wrecked the Schlies'
home, another house owned by
Mrs. Mary Novotny, and sent
manhole covers soaring. Mrs. No
votny also suffered serious face
and body burns.
Natural gas mains were being
tested and sewer manholes uncov-
cred Tuesday by hurriedly organ
lied crews.
Residents were warned by Fire
Chief J. w. Kaisershot to keep
easements aired out during the
night to prevent further explos-
ions. He announced a full crew of
firemen would remain on duty un-
til the source of the explosions
was determined.
Wreckage from the Schlies
house was scattered 200 feet by
the explosion. One side of the
house was bulged out, and win
dows were shattered. AS frigh-
tened residents hurried to the
street in night clothes, a series of
detonations occurred as manhole
covers shot into the air.

S8,211.93 Paid
WPA Workers In
Redwood County

Redwood county WPA workers
received $8,21193 for the first Is
day period of January, according
to a report bv Linus C. Glotz-
bach of New Ulm, district direct
