Action Under Considera-
ton Would Reduce In
come of MINI. Farmers

Fearful that farmers in Mime
sofa and other states may lose
much of the increased income they
have been receiving from flax the
last two years, Governor Harold
E. Stassen wired officials in Wash
ington this past week asking them
to reject a proposal, now under
consideration, to reduce the tariff
on flax seed Is cents.
Reduction Of the tariff would de-
press prices for American growers
and have especially disastrous eff
fects in Minnesota, the governor
said, where flax now is bringing
in more than S21, 100000 annually
for farmers. Stassen's telegram,
directed to Oscar B. Ryder, chair
man, Committee for Reciprocity
Information, follows:
'Minnesota's farmers, largest
domestic growers Of flax, greatly
alarmed over possibility tariff on
flax seed may be reduced rs cents,
forcing down prices received by
our American growers. With u.
S. farmers supplying only fraction
of nations flax needs and govern
ment seeking to reduce acreage of
surplus crops such as corn and

flax in 1887 was $7,6S5, 900, and in
1888, $6,977. 900. Acreage increased
to 1,223, 900 in 1889, with an income
of $4,000, 900, and in 1910 the num-
Der of acres increased to $780, 00
with income of $21, 5S5,000. Acre
age this year is about the same
as in 1910.
The market for flax straw to
make cigarette paper is one of the
new industries that has come to
Minnesota largely as a result of
the war. The war shut off the sup
ply of cigarette paper, formerly
made from linen rags in Europe,
and paper manufacturers found
they could make suitable paper
from flax in this country. Mime
sofa has been furnishing fully IS
percent of the tow processed for
the paper mill established in this
country.

The offer was for the assets as
Of December 81, 1910. This meant
that $4,000 in cash collected since
that date, some $4,000 expected
from crops this year and some
$4,000 due on contracts where
sales Of land already have been
made would go to the purchasers.
In view of this and the value of
the other assets, Amundson con-
cluded that the offer was too low.
Bids may be taken again after the
end OF the crop year, he said.
Book value of the assets of the
bank was $1,421,573 at the end of

ed flax acreage with fair return.
This opportunity should be pre-
served by retention Of present tar
iff.
Important new markets for flax
straw are just opening up to Amer
lean farmers in manufacture of
cigarette paper. Minnesota's six
flax tow plants already are paying
100000 a year to farmers though
industry is in infancy. Total in
come to Minnesota farmers from
flax in 1910 exceeded $21 ,00O, 000
This expanding new income and
industry is urgently needed by
farmers and is sound economically
to our midwest area. It should not
be imperilled by tariff reduction at
this time"

little more than 1000 acres in flax
in 1887 and 1888. Income from

Weaving its delightfully."- gay story
around the hectic romances Of an
impetuous girl engaged to three
young men at the same time, "Tom,
Dick and Harry" which comes to
the Main Street Theatre Sunday.
Monday and Tuesday, stars the
lovely Ginger Rogers in a sparkling
comedy portrayal. George Murphy,
Alan Marshall and Burgess Mer-
edith appear opposite the versatile
star whose current light character
ization is in direct contrast to her
heavier, more dramatic perform
ance in kitty Foyle," for which
she won the recent Academy
The sprightly story presents Gin
ger as dreamy, romantic tele-
phone operator who is engaged to
George Murphy, "go-getting"
salesman.
Ginger secretly yearns to meet
Alan Marshal, son of the towns
wealthiest man, whose swanky car
is the envy of every male in town.
On her way home from work one
evening, the expensive auto stops
for a signal and the young lady
boldly steps in. Later she discovers
that the young man is not the scion
of wealth, but merely a garage
mechanic.
The mechanic is Burgess Mer-
edith, a carefree, irresponsible but
thoroughly charming fellow. After
an exciting evening at a penny
arcade, Ginger agrees to become
affianced to him.
From here on the romantic little
telephone girl gets further en-
tangled. She accepts a date with
the young socialite, Alan Marshal,
and he flies her to Chicago for an
evening of night-clubbing. When
the excited Ginger is returned to
her home, she is engaged again!
Crammed from start to finish
with riotous situations and spark
ling dialogue, the gay story builds
to a sidesplitting climax when
Ginger is cornered by her three
frances who demand a showdown.
