AGED FISHERMEN
AMONG FIRST TO
SECURE PERMITS
HOME COUNTY LAW TO
BE ENFORCED, WORD
TO COUNTY AUDITOR

Young fishermen in Redwood
county will probably get what's
left if old hands at the game bene-
fit by experience.
L. c. Hale, 90; j. P. Dunlap, 81
and H. D. Otto, 70, are just few
old-time anglers who have al
ready secured licenses.
"The rush season is on" ac-
cording to County Auditor Ira r.
Rogers and his staff. Already
they have sold about 1920 Ii
censes. Fishing passes sold by
agents throughout the county
which have not yet been reported
should bring the total to about
1000 at this time. The. years
total here will be around 1000.
Instructions have gone out to
e., auditors that the law requiring
that licenses be sold only to resi-
dents of the counties to which the
licenses are issued will be strictly
enforced. Every resident must
buy his license in his home coun-
ty. If he buys elsewhere, the IL
cense is void, and the holder of
that void license is liable to the
same prosecution as if he had
none at all.
County auditors and agents
have been instructed to furnish
the division of game and fish, at
frequent intervals, the names OF
all license purchasers. Wardens
will check these lists to see that
the purchasers are bona fide resi-
dents of the counties.
All state residents 18 years OF
age or older are required to have
a SO cent license to fish, while
non-residents 16 years or older
must have the So nonresident Ii
cense, or the combination non
resident man and wife license at
$3.50.

Corn Planted, Crops
Off to Good Start
FREQUENT RAINS WILL
BE NEEDED, HOPPER
DANGER SLIGHT

With the seasons corn
fields practically all planted

to a good start, a survey this
week indicates.
More even than usual, how
ever, the amount of grain

moisture conditions this sum-
mer, farmer agree, because of
the dry fall. Frequent rains are
essential to a good crop.
The season has been unusually
fine for preparing fields for
planting, crops going in under
exceptionally good conditions. A
timely rain which was general
through the county got sprouting
plants off to an excellent start.
Warm weather is needed as
much as rain, the cold weather
having slowed up growing of
small grain. Some reports of frost
damage to grain have come in,
fields following in places as
result.

1887 were $398.39 and the Defend

needed heavier supplies of the
munitions of war. It cannot be
denied that the public has appre-
ciated the fighting spirit of the
Fund and has supplied the ammu-
milton. To drop metaphor, in the
last war alone the Fund raised the
memorable sum of $2,O25,O00. In
the last five years the Fund has
raised the remarkable total of
S7,8OO.OO0. It's battle now, after
the Chamberlain Macdonald White
Paper, is of truly heroic stature
and it's achievements for Palestine
Land Redemption are no less ad-
mirable.
There are many sources tapped
by the Fund during the 81 years
of its existence. Campaigns, the
Golden Book, the requests, the
]. N. F. Box, have all proved pop
ular means of raising money for
the Fund. During the last few
years new source of income has
been found in the Living Legacy.
Normally a legacy is a sum of
money which person receives af-
ter the death of a relative or
friend. A person makes a will,
leaving so much money to another.
When that person dies the legatee
receives the money. A Living
Legacy is a legacy given to the
]. N. F. during the life of the
person making it. The Fund I'M
dertakes, during the life of the
person making it, to pay interest
on it in the form of an annuity
in his name. On his death, the
LEGACY" becomes a true legacy
and the property of the Fund.
The advantages arising from
this form of donation will be i'm
mediately realized. 1t puts at the
disposal of the Fund money which
can be at once invested in land,
land which is so urgently needed
for the Jewish people and a pre-
cious possession that it may be
impossible to acquire later. At
the same time it puts into the
hands of the person r:aking the
gift, just that security for his
money that he needs and which
few countries in the world offer
a Jew today.
A striking case-for obvious
reasons the name cannot be men,
tioned-came recently to the no
tice of the ]. N. F. A very veal
thy Jew of Central Europe who
expected to end his days in the
lap of luxury-and his bank bal
ance certainly suggested that he
would-paid over quite substan-
tial sum to the ]. N. F. as a Liv-
ing Legacy. 1t was done almost
-handedly. 1t did not enter his
mind that he would ever be in
need Of the annuity. Recently he
walked into the offices of the j.
N. F. in Jerusalem and stated,
quite simply, that all his wealth
and property abroad was gone.
the one thing he had left in the
world was his annuity from the
Jewish National Fund. He could

What Is 1t?
1t "Blesseth Him That Gives and Him That Takes.
BY GEORGE EDWARD

It was early realized that if
Jews were to return to Palestine
they would have to acquire the
land of Palestine.
Although certain areas were IN
the hands of the Government or
of the Sultan Of Turkey himself,
most of the land was owned by
private individuals. These persons
were usually willing to sell. Cen
turtles of bad government on the
one hand and reckless misuse on
the other, had made the land eth
err worthless to the owner or OF
so little value that payment of
money for it was a godsend.
Thirty-seven years ago, the
Jewish National Fund was found
ed for the purpose of acquiring
such lands as were for sale, not
for any particular Jew but for
the Jewish people as such. Inc
Fund would be a trustee for the
Jews of the world, for all time,
of lands acquired by it in Pales-
tine.
Times have changed. The Sultan
of Turkey, like so many other
crowned heads, has passed out OF
history. The King of England, as
far as Palestine is concerned, sits
on his throne. But the Govern
ment that has replaced the old
government does not own the land
of Palestine. That is still in the
hands of the Arab owners and 1t
must still be bought from them,
often only with great difficulty
always with countless obstacles
thrown in the path, if Jews are
to acquire it.
The Jewish National Fund,
therefore, has still to act as the
trustee of the Jewish people in
two capacities: to buy the land,
to secure it's preservation for
Jewry. Today the task of trustee
ship is a hundredfold more diff
cult than it was in pre-War days.
Then immigrants reached Pales-
tine in a trickle, since the war
thew have come il stream. Be
fore the War, Palestine was look
ed upon as the dream of a few
Missionaries, impractical men. To-
dav it is recognized as the only
home for the Jewish people, as
the only permanent resting place
for the tired feet Of Jewish refu-
gees. The pressure upon Pales-
tine being greater, the need for
more land is greater.
From another side, too, diff
culties are ever recurring. For
political reasons every kind OF
obstacle was put in the way OF
the Jewish National Fund and it
has to show endless patience, dog
eed perseverance and an invincible
spirit before land is registered IN
it's name. These victories of the
Fund. although never reported and
quite unknown to the public, are
as dramatic and far more pur-
poseful than many of the victories
of war that find their way into the
headlines.
1t follows, of course, that for its
nost-War battles the Fund has

The "LiVing Legacy"

There are many similar cases,
although not on so large a scale,
where the disinterested patriotism
that led to the making of a Living
Legacy has proved very real
help in time of trouble.
There are, happily, still many
countries in the world where the
Jew lives freely, is able to save up
some money and hopes that the
future will be as bright as the
present. May it be so! But the
Jew can learn one lesson from his
history and that is-not to live in
a Fools Paradise. He cannot be
sure that tomorrow the country
in which he lives will not, in one
way or another, make things more
difficult for him and the earning
of a living a matter of doubt.
He should, before it is too late,
invest some of his capital in Pal
estine and one sure way of doing
so with profit to himself and prof
it to his people is to secure a
Living Legacy
In this connection a pretty SER
mon may be delivered. In the
year 1881 Mr.. Ussishkin, Presi-
dent of the Jewish National Fund,
paid visit to America. His
journeyings brought him in con-
tact with a wealthy gentleman,
Mr.. w. w. of a well-known city
in the state of Indiana. Mr.. w.
was enthusiastic about the idea
of buying up the land of Palestine
for the Jewish people. His money
was we'll invested and he knew he
would die a rich man, so he in
formed Mr.. Ussishkin that he had
bequeathed to the Jewish National
Fund more than 100000.
Mr.. Ussishkin was very graft
fled to hear this, but, pointing out
the uncertainties of the money
market on the one hand and on
the other, the need of the Fund
for money Immediately to carry
through an imperative scheme of
land purchase, he suggested that
a Living Legacy would be an ideal
method of helping the Fund while
preserving for Mr.. w. an income
for the rest of his days. The
suggestion, however, was turned
down. MY money is invested in
gilt-edge securities and I do not
want to receive a dole from the
Jewish National Fund" said Mr..
w.
But the stock market crashed.
Mr.. w. died suddenly. His gilt
edged securities proved practically
worthless. And the 100000 prom
Used was certainly to be found in
the Will-but what was received
by the Fund was $1,000.
The sermon is over. 1t is usual
to commence a sermon with a
text. This sermon shall close with
one.
The Living Legacy buys much
needed land.
The Living Legacy secures for
the giver a certain income for as
long as he lives. 1T blesseth him
