asked if Germany would unleash

American planes could be made

A newspaperman then observed
that some reports said the United

Hitler Removes
Finance Officer

Berlin, Jan. 20.-Fuehrer Adolf
Hitler today summarily took over
control of the Reichsbank, cor
stone of Germany's economic
structure, from the cautious, con-
sentative DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
the sole remaining brake on the
Nazi financial program.
In Schacht's place Hitler nam
ed Walther Funk, minister of &C.
onomics and deputy dictator of
the Nazi four-year economic self
sufficiency program.
Schacht has been seeking trade
concessions from the United Stat
es in return for permitting Ger
man Jews to emigrate with at
least a par of their capital. The
implication was that any trade
agreement beween Germany and
the United States for the present
> was a remote possibility.
The international repercussions
tn the removal of Schacht were
expected to be wide-sweeping. He
was the savior of the mark" and
the fiancial genius who had guild
ed Germany's final policies
through the difficult years since
the World War.

Weaver suggests that the home

greatest problems, for it is there
that most of the fires start.
A number of questions are ask
ed by the agricultural engineer
to stress fire prevention: do the
members of your family have
habits which are conducive to
good fire control? Do they use
kerosene or gasline in starting
fires? Are they careless about
smoking conditions? Are the
oily and greasy rags used about
the garage put into metal con-
ers or Immediately burned, or
are they allowed to accumulate

Would Pay Damages
Caused By Animals

Representative G. G.. Mann of Pine
county believes that part of the rev.
enue collected from hunting licenses
should be used to pay for the dam
ages to personal property caused by
game birds and animals. He intro
duced bill in the legislature during
the past week which would require
that two percent of all money col
lected from hunting licenses be set
aside for this purpose.
The fund would be known as the
"Game Department Contingency
Fund.-" and would be under the divis-
ion Of game and fish. Money from
the fund could also be used to feed
game birds and wild animals during
periods of distress.
Under the terms of the proposed
law, anyone suffering loss from the
depredations of these animals would
notify the local game warden, who in
turn would communicate the claim
to the game and fish commissioner
whose decision in the matter would
be final.

Make A Unity Plea

VIM. Jensen, adjutant of Cloverleaf
Chapter No. of the D. A. ", issues
the following plea to disabled vet
Grams in support of his organization:
Twenty years after the World war
we find that the wars disabled are
still fighting to retain, and secure
benefits to which they are justly en-
titled.
eve often wonder how many of
those disabled veterans appreciate
how the D. A. V. has carried on,
year after year, fighting to secure
additional benefits and to retain the
benefits that they are now receiving.
While it is true that large number
have shown their appreciation by
keeping their membership paid up
year after year, large majority,
however, Gf failure to become a
member in the D. A. V. is a criterion)
feel no gratitude or obligation to any
one for the help that has been rem
dered them.
''This latter group is comprised of
thousands of disabled veterans who
have neglected to assist the organiza-
ton, and who should realize the fact
that they should support the D. A.
w., the organization that has been
faithful to them, and become united
100 percent. If the disabled vet
Grams were united, their benefits could
be more easily protected but as it
now stands, small group of veterans
are fighting throughout the organiza-
ton to protect the benefits of the
masses.
eve are extending an invitation to
all D. A. v. members to affiliate for
life, if they can possibly do so. 1t
can be arranged in easy payments.

information"
