for the benefit Of disabled veter-
ans and their dependents and the
widows and orphans Of veterans.
The red Buddy Poppy, made by
disabled and unemployed veterans,
is symbolic Of the peoples of Fland-
ers Field which blow today over
the graves of more than 10000
American boys and men who lie
buried in the cemeteries OF France.
DIR. c. A. McGuiggan, Department
Commander explained today. The
name, Buddy Poppy, given to the
flowers by the disabled veterans
who make them, Is copyrighted by
the v. F. W., which first conducted
nationwide distribution of pop
pies in 1922. THE entire proceeds
Of the nationwide Buddy Poppy
sale Is devoted to the widows and
orphans Of the World War and to
the relief, welfare and service work
which our organization supports
among Americas war veterans"
Commander McGuiggan said.
"One cent from each Buddy Pop
py sold will be sent to the ". f..
w. National Home at Eaton Rap
ids, Michigan, where 1t helps to
maintain and operate this unique
institution. Another two and one
half cents from each sale of Buddy
Poppies Is used to maintain the
state and national rehabilitation
service which advises and assists
thousands of disabled veterans in
the establishment of their equitable
claims for government compensa-
ton and disqualification benefits"
Added to the small sum paid the
disabled or unemployed veteran
who makes the Buddy Poppy, this
three and one-haf cents brings the
cost of each Buddy Poppy to ap-
proximately five and one-haf cents.
Since all proceeds over this amount
are devoted to local relief, welfare
and service work among disabled
and needy veterans of this COM
munity-work which otherwise
would fall upon the local charitable
agencies and tax payers-Com-
mander McQuiggln stated that he
hoped the citizens of this commun-
ity will be glad to contribute a
minimum Of ten cents for the Bud
dy Poppies. The Department Bud
dy Poppy headquarters, under slup-
ervision Of Chairman VIM. c. Goer-
ner, is located in Rooms 341 and
342, Lumber Exchange Building in
Minneapolis.

ct al. announcement of which was
made from Farm Credit Admins
tration offices in st. Paul this
week.
This decision means that the
cerditor's agreements which the
land bank and land bank commits
sioner have insisted upon wherever
necessary to close loan ever since
1894 can be enforced under the law
and will be enforced to the fullest
extent" said John Thorpe, general
counsel of the Farm Credit Admin
istration Of st. Paul 1T gives full
effect to the intent Of the law,
which was set forth clearly by Sen
ator Wagner when the emergency
farm mortgage act was under
consideration IN congress. Senator
Wagner pointed out that in making
provision for a scale-down or
debts, 1.-The benefits Of the dis
count must be transferred to the
farmer in the form Of reduction
of the principal of his mortgage.
The case on which this import
ant decision hinged was that of a
farmer, Rudolph Koslofsky, of
Tower City, N. d., who obtained a
commissioner loan of $1,000 in
September, 1884. One Of the credi-
tors who held a mortgage against
Koslofsky agreed to scale down it's
debt $1,179.5O in order to induce the
land bank to make the loan, and
when the land bank had paid over
the amount agreed upon, Koslofsky
and his wife were required by the
creditor to execute and deliver a
chattel mortgage on 46 head Of cat
tie, IA horses, and all his farm ma
chinery together with a note for
81, 17950 due within one year to Sc
cure payment Of the portion OF the
debt it had renowned.
When the land bank learned Of
this note and mortgage it brought
suit to compel the creditor to live
up to its agreement. The creditor
demurred to the complaint and the
land bank appealed to the State
supreme court where the lower
court was reversed and was order
ed to try the case. The creditor got
a rehearing before the supreme
court and the decision was again
unanimously IN favor of the land
bank.
With this decision overburdened
borrowers are now in position to
protect their rights, Thorpe pointed
out, and the bank can protect its
own rights by seeing to it that bor-
rowers are left in a situation where
they can carry on their farming
operations and ultimately repay
the loans.
This supreme court decision
means that where the land bank or
commissioner make loans based on
such an agreement, the creditors

TROUT SEASON OPEN

Followers OF Isaak Walton prior
to Saturday, May LIST, had gathered
together rods and reels for the OPP
ening Of the trout season in Min

has not been up to standard owing
to high water following recent
rains. Harold Gray spent Sunday
along one of the streams in this
community and after a long time Of
hard work returned home as did
the proverbial fisherman only he
had one trout about five inches
long. The trout being of rich flesh,
Harold says he could not have eat

You haven't yet had

For I am one of those old

declare a baseball armistice and
