Pipestone People
Win UNIQUE Case

Pipestone-In a precedent set
ting decision, the Minnesota sup
RENE court handed down a YER
dict favoring the rights of legally
adopted children to sue as next
of kin" under the wrongful
death statute. Attorney English
of Tracy, representing the plain
tiffs in the action, gained the de-
cision in both the lower court and
the supreme court.
The case was said to be the
first of its kind tried in the state
courts. The question raised was
whether or not legally adopted
child could sue as the next of kin
in the wrongful death of parent.
In this case the adopted children
of the late DR.. E. G. McKeown of
Pipestone sued E. R. Argetsinger
for damages of $4,000. DR.. Nc
KeoWn of Pipestone was killed
while riding in the Argetsinger
car. The district court at Pipe
stone handed down a decision
against the defendant, declaring
the accident was caused by neg
ligence of Mr.. Argetsinger, and
verdict of $4,000 was awarded
the plaintiffs.
The defendant then carried the
case to the supreme court on the
rounds that adopted children are
not blood relatives and therefore
are not next of kin and are not
eligible to sue as such.
The attorney for the plaintiffs
represented to the high tribunal
that legally adopted children need
not be disqualified under the
wrongful death statute inasmuch
as they were considered legal
children in other matters although
not blood relatives.

acre farm is 80 bushels an acre or
1000 bushels. His benefits then
will be $3.50. But if he decides
that maybe the market price this
year will be good, he may want
to plant five acres more than his
80 acre allowance. Go to it, says
the Department of Agriculture,
but it will reduce your benefits
by so cents a bushel. Five acres,
times 80 bushels times SO cents is
SIS, leaving only S45 of benefits.
Moreover, the farmer loses his
right to a government loan.

Magnolia ran a long race with

Krull, who was driving a car

another driven by Harry Willems.
Several patrolmen witnessed the

and more state highways as the years pass
has lessened in recent years, due not so
much to the objection to high taxes paid by
motorists as to the fact that many OF the
directions and no immediate prospect OF
more paving where it will be of direct bene-
fit to them.
There is no such feeling in the western
section of the state where many towns have
connections to the Twin Cities over concrete
but travel north and south to and from the
lakes regions is still over gravel or thinly
bituminous treated routes, many of them in
very poor repair each spring when the first
urge to visit northern lakes is prevalent.
Minnesota is a great tourist state,
drawing heavily from Missouri, Nebraska,
Kansas and of course Iowa. A few visitors
spend six weeks or two months in the state
but majority come for one and two week
periods and even weekends, making the trip
from home to their favorite resort in a day
or two days drive. They have no interest
in going through large cities even when on
the direct route and particularly wish to
avoid them when the trip through them
means many extra miles with accompanying
loss of time.
There is serious need of an immediate
paved route connecting the southern border
with the lakes region and the eventual paw
ing of two or three additional routes, not
only for the benefit of local residents but to
boost the tourist business which indirectly
affects every resident of the state.
THE RECENT ATTACK ON THE
Minnesota parole system implying that the
rules are too strict and paroles too difficult
to secure, is in direct contrast to the quite
prevalent impression that too many Grimm
ais are turned loose prematurely and soon
bob up again in police courts ready for new
sentences.
Minnesota has taken some pride in it's
prison system and was somewhat surprised
when more leniency as to prison rules was
adopted at the behest of Governor Benson
last year, so far without resulting in
breaks" or other disturbances to discredit
the recommendation.
On the matter of parole, however, every
individual must be treated as a separate
case, every applicant analysed in an attempt
to discover how he will react if allowed to
mingle with society, meet old cronies of his
lawless career and be expected to make his
own way in an unforgiving and unforgetting
outside society. The parole board has one
of the TOUGHEST of jobs.

suit is that a farmer on the corn
belt side of a county line may be
under these particular crop re-
strictions while a farmer on the
other side is not-and yet the lat
ter gets his benefits right along,
although under a different sort of
soil conservation schedule.
And the end is not yet. In July,
quota is to be decided on for
wheat growers. Already it is i'm
posed on tobacco and cotton
growers. But while the kicks may
pour in, the evidence continues
that most farmers like it. More
than 90 per cent of the cotton
growers and 80-plus per cent of
the tobacco growers voted for
marketing quotas such as have
not yet been imposed on corn or
wheat.

New Crop Law Makes Slide Rule
A Farm Implement
By PRESTON GROVER

Washington-When the back to
the farm movement starts, we
will be absent because our math-
ematics, while thorough, is slow
and we would not be able to work
out our soil conservation contract
in time to get at the fall blowing.
Take corn. Last year the farm
ers planted 100000 acres which
produced 2,60O,000,000 bushels.
That, the department computes is
35O,OO0,000 bushels more than we
can eat or sell abroad. So the plan
was adopted of reducing the pres
ent years paintings so the coun-
try would produce 350,000,000
bushels less than it needs-so that
the corn carried over, added to
the amount grown, would just
equal what we can eat and sell.
The department computed that
100000 acres would produce
the desired amount, a cut of
100000 acres below last year. So
out to the corn belt went the or
der to cut acreage 20 per cent.
That sounds very simple for if a
farmer last year had 4O acres In
corn he could plant 80 acres this
year and put the rest in beans or
catnip. 1t does not work out so
simply.
Room For Argument
First, it should be understood
that the farmer is paid for abid-
ing by the regulations. His farm
is assigned a quota of corn, based
on how much corn he has grown
in the past, the kind of land he
owns, the kind Of a farming he
has done and how much tillable
acreage he owns. That leaves
room for differences of opinion.
When the quota is determined
the farmer is promised 10 cents g
bushel of benefits" if he eco
operates or abides by regula-
tons. Moreover, he is promised g
government loan on his crop.
Suppose his quota for his 4(

Today's Church
Message
FOUR REASONS FOR CHJJRCH
GOING
BY REV. j. EvERETTE NEESE.

UO11NN.
Many times I have been asked tho
question: why should / 90 to
church," To such a question I give
what | believe to be, four honest rea
sons. First, one should go to church
to worship God. He is the creator
preserver, and benefactor of all man
kind. We realize his greatness and
goodness and that without Him We
would only have chaos. We have miss
ed great deal if we fail to tune our
spiritual natures with His.
Secondly, one should go to church
to learn about God. No one individual
in life knows all the religious truth
that he ought to know. Religion is
the ministers speciality and one should
attend the services of the church to
learn about God
Thirdly, one should go to church to
get an impulse toward God If we neg
lect attending church, we will, in all
probability, neglect reading Gods
Word Many folk have said to me that
the church has given to them new i'm
pulses spiritual Improvement and pri
vate prayer.
Fourthly, one should go to church
to forward the cause of God. The sue
cess of Gods work in the communists
depends upon the observance of thu,
Sabbath and the gifts of the worship
pers as they come to the Lords house.
Let us not fail to support our church
with our attendance and our talen
