Parks And Tourists

TN AN EFFORT to bring tourists, the Min
nesota Tourist Bureaus activities, imam
ced by a $4,000 appropriation from the
legislature, include mailing literature to
$4,000 persons, advertising in II news
papers and seven national magazines, main
tanning exhibits at six outdoor and sports
mems shows including the Texas centennial
and Chicago information headquarters,
eight 6O-foot bill boards of welcome at main
entrances to the state, placing 1000 window
display panels, publication of a quarter OF a
million pamphlets and installation of Mime
sofa information booths at score of large
conventions.
All this to advertise Minnesota and
bring perhaps $85,O00,0O0 in tourist busi-
ness to the state. If the bureaus estimate
of the volume of business so inspired is ac-
curate few will question the wisdom of the
expenditure.
More valuable than all the billboards
and pamphlets, however, is the story tour
lists of other years have carried home to
friends and neighbors about the beautiful
lakes, the pleasant resorts, the fishing and
hunting, the comforts of motoring on i'm
proved highways, the friendly towns and
cities visited-and not least in Importance,
the well kept and free state parks.
We frankly and honestly believe that
the tourist bureau and the conservation
commission are working at cross purposes
when one lures visitors to the state and the
other sends them home disgruntled over
small but aggravating parking fees in the
states prime beauty spots.
The most damaging criticism we have
heard of any scenic spot in the United States
is the frequently spoken words: ut is COM
mercialized to- death" The citizens of Red
wood Falls who battled to have Ramsey
park designated as state park and have
maintained an active interest in it's develop
ment and care will be saddened indeed when
that remark is made of their Little Yellow

Relief Under Fire

THE ATTITUDE of township and village
officials who attended a meeting at
Wabasso last week for the discussion
of relief matters was that the federal gov
ernment has sadly muffed one of the biggest
jobs undertaken in recent years, that OF
providing for the unfortunate.
This was no political conventions
blanket criticism of the opposition but a
sincere censure of methods based on results
as they have been witnessed in the sections
represented. AS such it should be considered
by state and national officials concerned
with relief as well.
It was not so much a check-up on slips
here and there, the mistakes that can be
found in any business, private or govern
mental, but the more serious complaint that
the lazy are encouraged to be lazy and the
chislers are rewarded for chiseling while
that section of the country still off the dole,
pays and pays.
It is no secret that our relief ills have
not responded to treatment as readily as
many of the other difficulties on the nations
doorstep in 1888. Improved business condi-
tions have had little affect on the number
receiving direct aid or work relief.
The big mistake was made when the
government attempted to take the matter
enClrely IN lCS nanOS instead OF merely sup
plementing what help could be furnished
locally. It has further erred in sticking to
general policies when the difficulties in each
community were unlike those of other Sec
tions and needed different treatment Some
of its policies have actually penalized the
families which made a sincere effort to be
self sustaining as far as possible.
Some of the mistakes have been recog-
nized and rectifed. The most encouraging
progress is the handing of supervision back
to local authorities directly responsible to
their constituents.

the late hours)-the Lam gets
thinking about small towns and
how lives are so wrapped togeth-
|er that really, we should by now
realize that pomp and ceremony
and formality cannot hide from
our humanity interested neighbors,
our small failures and foibles. The

of informality should pervade
Redwood Falls and all small towns
where hardly anyone ever gets
by with anything.

evidence of simple friendliness and
the courage to do as ones SYM

she finds it at Don's Service stat

BUSINESS GAIN
REP0RTEDF0 FOR
THIS AREA

Despite the fact that Easter
was a week earlier this year than
last, April business in the Fifth
Federal reserve district, which in
cludes Washington, was larger
than that of April, 1885, accord
ing to the monthly review Of the
Federal Reserve Bank Of Rich
mond.
In banking, April and the first
half of May witnessed a decline
in rediscounts at the Federal Re
serve Bank of Richmond and a
small decrease in industrial loans
for working capital, while the
portfolio of open market paper
rose and the ownership of Gov
eminent securities remained un-
changed, the review said. Federal
reserve notes in actual circula-
tion showed a seasonal decline
between the middle of April and
the middle of May, and member
bank reserve deposits decreased
slightly, according to the report.
Employment Better
Employment conditions showed
marked improvement in April
and early May, especially in the
demand for workers in building
trades, the bank said.
Coal production in April on a
daily basis is reported over
March output, contrary to sea-
Sonal trend, and about 38 per
cent above average daily produc-
tion in April last year.
Tobacco manufacturing plants
operated full time in April, and
output of all forms of tobacco
except snuff exceeded April, 1885,
the review pointed out.
Construction Mark Set
The volume of construction
work provided for in building
permits issued during April in
leading cities was the largest for
any month since July. 1881, and
was nearly double the volume Of
work provided for in April last
year. washington permits in
creased from 546 a year ago to
712 valued at $2,987 800 against
a valuation of $1,365,175 in April,
1875.
The Washington times., 1936-06-03
AVERAGE REAL
INCOME DROPS

The average man, woman and
child in the United States had
more money to spend during April
than in March. At the end of
April, however, they had less
money left from their income than
they did in March.
Increases in wages and salaries
fattened April pay envelopes.
Higher prices for food and rent in
April, however, took more from the
average pocketbook than they did
in March. AS a result the real in
come, which is the difference be-
tween actual income and living
costs, last month was two-tenthS
of l per cent less than in March,
according to the current conSum-
er'S study made by Investors Syn
dicate.
Wages and salaries during April
were up 81 per cent and 1.6 per
cent respectively over those in
March, but the income index was
up only two-tenths of one per
cent, because investment income,
the money received from Secur-
tiles in the form of interest and
dividends, declined 3 per cent.
The trend of investment income is
upward, as indicated by the profits
of corporations, but few large cor
porations made interest or divi-
dend payments during April.

COTTON BEGINS
TO RALLY

NEW YORK, June 3 GN.S0 =.
Cotton futures began to rally to-
day after earlier irregularity. Dis
tant months were still at a minor
discount, but above lows for the
session.
The trade, Wall Street. Liver
pool and the Continent were
among the major buyers while
the South and locals sold.
The near cotton months, which
failed to advance as much in
yesterdays session as the dis
tants, tended to even up today,
advancing moderately while the
diStants met with some realiza-
tion on their extremely sharp
gains. Tending to accentuate the
situation were mixed Liverpool
cables, in which the near months
were turning in a relatively bet
ter performance than distants.
Towards noon the market was
at about best levels for the day.
July was quoted at 11.64 up /,
October 1898 up 6. December
1892 up 3, and March 1892 off

WHEAT PRICES
GO HIGHER

CHICAGO, June 8 G.N.S0. .
Wheat prices averaged moderately
higher today in quiet early deal
ings. The advance was prompted
by strength at Liverpool and bull
ish crop news from the Northwest.
At mid-session prices here were
B to 14c up or steady with the
opening level. Corn was 3s to
3sc up at mid-session, oats A to
Ac up and rye unchanged.
Liverpool wheat closed "a to
11s pence up, while sterling was
up 2 points to the highest level
since last January.
Winnipeg wheat was 1s to Ac
up at mid,session. making poor
response to the bulge at Liverpool
and this fact tended to check the
rise here.
Issuance of June / private
crop estimates this morning ap-
peared to have little influence on
the market. The average Of esti-
mates indicated a winter wheat
crop of SOL 100000 bushels or
about in line with expectations.
The estimates on spring wheat
production averaged $4,000, 900
bushels.
