Drive For Sale
OF State Farms
Begun This Week
Rural Credit Department
to Launch Intensive Cam
paign in Pine County.

Geo. c. Jones, ConServator OF the
State Rural Credit Department, will
be in Pine City Thursday, May 2
(tonight) to address meeting of the
Commercial club there. His subject
will be on Rural Credit problems.
The Rural Credit Department is
beginning an intensive sales campaign
in Pine county this week in an effort
to dispose of as many state-owned
farms as possible during the current
year. Citing Clearwater county as
an example of what can be done with
concentrated sales effort in any given
county, MIR. Jones pointed out that
on Jan. 1, 1899, the state of Min
nesota owned approximately 100
farms there. In 1899 the state dis
posed of 1914 of these farms, return
ing to the tax rolls of that county
about $500 annually.
Pride in Ownership.
1.-The sale of state-owned farms helps
an entire community" Mr.. Jones
stated in a recent interview. New
owners take pride in their home and
community, consequently repairs are
made and merchandise is purchased
from local business places which
makes for better business and more
prosperity for everyone concerned"
That the efforts of the department
have not been confined to Clearwater
county is brought out by the fact that
during the first four months of this
year, $50 farms have been sold in
IS different counties of the state.
OF the $50 farms sold, 122 have been
sold to former owners, 352 have been
sold to local farmers, and Sc have
been sold to buyers from outside the
state.
In District 6, which is serviced
by the Mora office which includes
Pine county, 80 farms have been sold
since the first of the year. Of these,
five have been sold to former owners,
81 to local farmers and six to out
side buyers. Six of the farms sold
in the Mora area are located in Pine
county.
Quota Set at 92O Farms.
At the beginning of the year the
Department of Rural Credit set a
quota for the sale of 900 farms to
be sold during 1910. With $50 farms
already sold, there is little doubt that
with the continued cooperation of the
communities in which these farms
are located, this figure will be ex-
ceeded The department owned in
Pine county January l, 1910, 149 farms
which takes from the tax rolls in the
county between $500 and $4,000
annually. During the year 1889 the
Department sold "a state-owned
farms in the county for an average
price of about SIS an acre and re-
turned to the tax rolls approximately
$1,000 year.
The sales campaign which was
started this week in Pine county will
be handled by Stanton Serline under
the direction of E. L. Johnson, the
supervisor of the Mora office.

Thousands Hear
Sec. Wallace In
St. Paul Speech
Meeting Sponsored by the
Farmers Union Draws
People From Many States

More than 10000 people from over
20 states gathered in the st. Paul
auditorium Saturday in what was de-
scribed as the greatest meeting of
farmers ever held in this country.
The session was sponsored by the
Farmers Union. Secretary of Agri-
culture Henry A. Wallace was the
principal speaker.
The meeting was largely drive for
the Wheeler-LaF ollette-JOneS bill to
reduce interest rates on farm mort
cages and for providing the necessary
machinery to adjust mortgages held
by government farm credit agencies.
Secretary Wallace criticized the
"enemies" of agriculture and urged
that interest rates be reduced, the
debts adjusted and the whole land
bank system drastically revised. He
insisted that the setup be put on a
sound basis while it benefits the
farmers. No farmer should have to
pay more than 312 per cent interest,
he said, and the cut should not have
to be made by dipping into the treas
ury for S40,00O,000 as has been done.
The government should avoid fore
closure losses and scale down the
principal on excessive loans, the
speaker asserted, so they would be
more in line with the productive
value of the farms, with local farmers
recommending the adjustments to be
made.
M. w. Thatcher, Washington repre-
sentative of the Farmers Union, pre-
sided at the meeting. Leo V. Carr,
Hillsdale, Mich, Jacob Webber, Hill
lard, Ohio, and Henry Parkinson,
Scott City, Kansas, were others who
spoke. They were also in favor of
the farm debt adjustment bill and the
proposed new setup.
Special trains, buses and hundreds
of cars brought farmers from all over
the northwest, the central states and
other points, and the auditorium was
packed so that thousands had to stand
during the speeches.
Past Farm Policies Unsound.
Regarding Secretary Wallace's stand
in the farm credit situation he has
issued the following statement:
"The public is entitled to accurate
information concerning the real issues
in the controversy over the Farm
Credit Administration and the farm
credit situation generally.
efforts have been made to persu-
ade everyone interested that the De-
partment of Agriculture's supervision
of FCA and support of proposals to
help debt-burdened farmers threat
ems to wreck the credit structure of
agriculture.
''In the light of experience gained
since the Farm Credit Administra-
ton became part of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, can say that
certain farm credit policies in the
past have been unsound and if con-
tinued without modification will
cause serious losses to land banks
and farmer borrowers. The real
threat to our farm credit structure
is to go on as we have been going.
"The Department of Agriculture
now is taking steps to place the credit
policy of the Farm Credit Admins
tration on sound basis.

with the weekly washing-well,
you can imagine what happened
to Ray.
Four huntsmen a'hunting
went, down along the woodsy
banks of the Muskingum river,
near Stockport. So anxious
were they to get there they for
got to take a comb or watch.
The happy crowd, was composed
of Neil McAfee, Walter Barry
man, Jake Buchanan and Charles
Blind. Not having a comb, they
made the best of it by running
their fingers through their hair
after tossing in their hunks all
night. Not having a time-piece
they got up at 2 a. m. (it SEEM
ed to them at least) anxiously
waiting with loaded guns, for
the first rays of the sun to dis
close the first chattering
squirrel. The climax of the trip
came when Neil McAfee turned
up missing and was lost?, like
little Red Riding Hood, in the
woods. Did not hear that he met
up with any bears, unless, it was
he other three members of the
party when they finally came
n contact with him.

Draft Registration
Day Will Not Be
Legal Holiday

Wednesday, Oct. 16, the date
scheduled for the universal draft
registration will not be declared
a legal or public holiday in Ohio
despite rumors to the contrary.
Governor Bricker stated this
week that he will not proclaim
October 16 as a holiday in Ohio,
unless the new federal regula-
tions make such a requirement
necessary. He will request all
employers to give men of draft
age ample time off (as on an
election day. to meet the feder-
al requirements.
Advises from Washington to-
day are that President Roose-
velt has decided definitely not
tc proclaim Oct. 16 as nation
vide holiday, as it would seri-
cusly dislocate many lines of
business at a time when maxi
mum production is necessary to
TIE national defense.

Lou Hudspeth Honored On
SSth Birthday Monday Night

Monday night, Sept. 80, Pc
ter Androutsos was host to 80
guests honoring the 88th ami
versary of Lou Hudspeth, well
known to many residents of
Newark. Among those present
was George Morrow of Utica,
an old friend of the honored
guest.
Augmenting the momenteous
occasion was a large cake dec
Grated in rose and green, bear
ing the inscription, Happy
Birthday" in purple. A num-
ber of candles were centered on
the cake, formed to read "88".
Mr.. Hudspeth blew the candles
out in three hearty puffs.
Guests were served coffee and
cake by the Misses Dorothy

Dan Jones tells us that he
heard of a couple calling their
new infant son weather Strip
because he is keeping papa out
of the draft. In this connection
we might say that a wife will
not keep a man out of the draft
if said wife is able to earn her
own living. 1t just may be that
a lot of those new wedding rings
may have been bought in vain.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Welker
had a thrill the other day-the
thrill of riding on a railroad
train for the first time in many
years. The couple left Newark,
headed for Columbus in their
Whippet car. Near Reynolds
burg a connecting rod went
"flOOy" as connecting rods some
times dO-sO they left the car
at that place for repairs, and
took bus into Columbus. With
two methods of modern trans
pOrtatiOn already involved in the
trip they decided to try a third,
and so came home on the Penn
sylvania railroad and they
thoroughly enjoyed it.
John Penick has a 700 page
dictionary which was published
in 1884. The type was all hand
set, as lintoype machines were
unknown in those days, and the
book is leather bound, w. & J.
Bowles of New London were the
publishers. The dictionary is
called "a Critical Pronouncing
Dictionary" and gives "Rules to
be observed by natives of Scot
land, London mad Ireland" The
dictionary was a former posses
sion of Mr.. Penick's aunt, Eva
Shannon, who was a teacher in
the Licking county schools for
many years. Miss Shannon died
several years ago, and the book,
which has been in the family for
several generations came into
the possession of Mr.. Pennick.

! Girls program. The Public Re-
lation's committee was led by Al
thur Shepard, president of the
Y's Mems club, and Harvey j.
Lowe, personnel committee
chairman, presided over a COM
mittee entitled Looking Ahead.
Each group arrived at con-
clusions which they will observe
as they supervise the various
YMCA programs during the
coming year.
In the evening, r. L. Dickin-
son, executive secretary of the
Ohio Area council, discussed
briefly some of the new pro-
grams developed nationally be-
cause of the war situation. He
pointed out that the YMCA was
already serving in Europe among
the prisoners of war, and that
the Y had been approached by
officials of the army and navy
to organize YMCA programs
near the 80 cantonments in
which will be housed the men to
be trained through the new con-
scription program.
Principal speaker for the
meeting was Paul V. Barrett,
personnel director of the Ohio
Oil company, at Findlay. Mr..
Barrett spoke out of his expert
ence as a general secretary in
the YMCA and said "That today
as never before, organizations
like the YMCA need to develop
among youth the sense of re-
sponsibility." He challenged the
board members present to in
creasingly place responsibility
in the association in the hands
of young men and women that
they may develop the expert
ence of accepting responsibility
and discharging obligations. He
also called upon the association
through it's board of directors,
it's committees and its staff, to
develop more fully than before
guidance techniques to help the
young men and women of today
to face the complex problems of
this day. He stressed particu-
larly the need for the young
men who are about to enter the
cantonments in our first peace
time conscription to be we'll
based in their Christian life
through the contacts made with
the churches and YMCA.
Attending the meeting were:
Harvey J. Alexander, ohm AL
ford, Ruth Baker, DR.. and Mrs.
j. w. Barker, Naomi Beeney,
