CHECKS CHARGED TO
ST. PAUL BROTHERS

Theft and forgery of checks on
the Gandrud Creamery company
of Redwood Falls and raising of
checks from the Swift ana COM
pany produce station here, was
admitted by two st. Paul young
men at Sleepy Eye Wednesday.
Delbert Goodroad, "a and Earl
Goodroad, 26, brothers, were ar
rested in st. Paul Monday by
state bureau of criminal appre-
hension operatives after the
Sleepy Eye police chief sent their
license number to radio station
KIND in Redwood Falls for a
checkup. The chief was called by
a Sleepy Eye man who became
suspicious when one of the broth
ers cashed a raised check from
the Swift station here, but arriv-
ed just as the forger was pulling
away in his car.
Taken to Sleepy Eye Tuesday,
they also confessed theft of North
American Creamery company
checks at Watkins in February.
Several checks were stolen from
the back of the check book at the
Valley Creamery company at
Morton, operated by Theodore
Scott, which buys cream for the
Gandrud company here, but the
loss was not discovered until Fri
DAY when Percy Nelson of the
Citizens State bank noticed that
a check for $1297 cashed at
Sleepy Eye was forgery. He
called the creamery and they
checked with the Morton station
to find the checks missing.
Another stolen Gandrud check,
for S10.33, came into the bank
here Tuesday and one for S16.53
arrived Wednesday. Both had
been cashed at Minneapolis. They
were made out to r. F. Stems,
with Norwood as the address,
Signatures were "Art Nelson"
and Fritz Nelson"
Giving the name &C. Becker"
one of the pair sold chickens to
the Swift produce station on
Third street here, March and
again March 9. Receiving checks
for $121 and $103, he raised them
to S1021 and 5000. cashing at
least one at Sleepy Eye.
These forgeries were not dis
covered for several days, until the
Swift checks went back to a bank
at Marshall.
Last month the pair stole
creamery checks at Watkins,
cashing them at Litchfield,
Anoka, Willrlar and Minneapolis
They also admitted theft of 10 or
IL Swift and company checks in
Minneapolis.

FARMERS ADVISED
ON SOY BEANS AT
WABASSO MEETING
MILLION TONS RAISED
LAST YEAR, 80 PER
CENT FOR FOOD

Over one million tons of soy
bean meal was produced in the
United States last year, F. E. Ben
son of the Archer-Daniels Mid
land company of Minneapolis told
attendants lat a Redwood county
soy bean growers meeting in Wa
basso Friday.
Of this 80 per cent is used for
food and some goes into paints.
j. B. Zeug of Johnsonville
township, speaking from expert
ence, advised farmers to grow
soy beans in rows, especially if
they are being raised for seed.
Soy beans do well under condi-
tons suitable for corn, it was
pointed out at the session. They
should be sown on good corn land
about complaining time, at least
As to go pounds of seed to the
acre. The beans cannot withstand
frost and should not be planted
too early.
Recommended varieties are
Minneseta- Manchu ana Wisconsin
number 8. The Harbaro bean also
does well and is early, although
slightly lower in oil content than
the others. 1t may be discontinued
on the market in time.
Black beans cannot be used in
production of oil, Benson said.
Fred Hafner of the same firm
told the farmers that soy bean oil
meal has nearly as much food
value as dried skim milk. Raw
soy beans are not as valuable for
feeding as soy bean oil meal, nc
said, as hsating them in process
ing improves the feeding qualities

Children's Letters
Likely to Save Zoo

lIHG group lOuilQ Tie SONSIIiOl
meeting with the state executive
board and arranged to see him at
II p. m. Returning soon after
lunch, they found him well-versed
on the controversy and anxious to
have it settled amicably.
Various solutions were talked
over, one of them being that the
state might cede the city plot
of park land for the zoo, park en-
ployees to maintain it after SUCH
remodeling as may be necessary.
1t was explained that the federal
government would not authorize
WPA project involving a zoo
since it is counter to policy, SO
the remodeling would be largely
a local problem.
Members of the group were
frank in discussing the history of
park squabbles, going back as far
as when a Redwood Falls group
organized opposition among state
park boards against a plan to
charge Is cents for parking in
certain parks, including Ramsey.
1t has bsen felt here that much
of the difficulty is traceable to
that effort.
Assured of full cooperation
from the governor who then ar
ranged meeting with Mr.. Strunk,
the group filed into his office a
few minutes later.
MIR. Strunk was extremely
frank in his position. He came
to Redwood Falls a few weeks
ago, soon after assuming his Of
flee, and visited Ramsey for the
first time. "The first thing l saw
when we got down into the park, !"
he said, was that zoo. Gentlemen
its condition was terrible"
He declared no amount of sum-
mer cleanliness would compen-
safe for the health hazard involv-
ed in having animals penned a
short distance from picnic
grounds. The delegation contend
ed that the zoo is kept in near
perfect condition in the summer
months. They had not visited it
in the winter. -
In a more conciliatory tone, he
expressed a willingness on the
part Of the state department to
have a zoo in Ramsey park, al
though it is somewhat counter to
state park policy, and to maintain
it. He added that the department
will be more than willing to fur
nish the animals.
The cost of building suitable
building, or improving present
facilities after they are moved t.
some more acceptable spot, was
then discussed. Based on the re-
ported cost of building the present
structure, said to be $3.50, the
Redwood delegation contended
that remodeling to meet regula-
ton was a matter of a few hun
dred dollars. Mr.. Strunk stated
for example, that the regulation
size pen for coyote is nine feet
square. The pens in the present
zoo are seven by seven. The zoe
no doubt can be placed where
running water is available.
Reports that steam heat is
necessary are absolutely false,
he stated. This impression
grew out of a meeting of Mr..
Strunk and Gordon Fredine
and Harold Lathrop of his de-
partment, with park board
members here recently.
Mr.. Strunk defended the actor
OF the local park board in accept
ing the trade offered them by him
at that meeting. 1--WE offered an
