Red Smith Ends 8-Year
Stay With The Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis, Dec. 49,
R-Richard "Red'' Smith, for
eight years assistant coach of the
Green Bay Packers of the Nation
al Football League, and a former
Notre Dame fullback, resigned
from the Packers today.
Smith said he would remain here
as manager of bowling alley un-
til March 10 when he would re-
sumo his coaching job with the
Milwaukee Brewers baseball team.
Coach E. L. Lambeau of the
Packers said that the club had
thought it desirable to have a
year-'round assistant and because
of Smiths baseball connection
which he felt he could not gin
up, he decided to resign.
The Packers announced the
signing of Don Hutson, veteran
end, as a full time assistant coach
last week.

Overcrowded cities must be relieved

figures from the continent indicate

losis, already widespread throughout
Europe as a result of malnutrition.
A tragic shadow hangs over these

INTEREST IN REAL ESTATE
(The Faribault JournaD

line dTlDdull JOul iiolJ
For the first time in approximately
Is years there is real activity in real
estate.
City homes are moving. Prices are
not the top, but they are, on the
whole reasonably good. Many peo-
pie are buying homes and others are
buying residential property for in
vestment.
At the present time, modern homes
either for rent or for sale are at a
premium here in Faribault and as
stated the purchase prices of the
sales completed have usually been
fairly decent.
Those acquainted with land values
have usually taken the l9l2-l914
values as the sound value of average
farm land. These values have, how
ever, not as yet been reached because
Rice county reasonably well i'm
proved farms then had sound value
of about $500 an acre.
The Minneapolis Star-Journal re-
Gently urged that a ceiling be placed
upon the sale price of farm lands
The writer of that editorial evidently
felt that farm land should not rise
in price at all. He certainly wasn't
conversant with the land situation
Until the average reasonably well
improved farm in Rice county has
sale value of S100 per acre we can
not say that any initiation in farm
lands is near. The history of this
county shows that no one ever lost
great deal where not more than
SlOO an acre was invested in Rice
county improved farm land.
The evil of the boom in 1890
came from the fact that our lanc
was selling at prices ranging. from
$3.50 to $500 an acre. Many of these
prices constituted inflated values, but
we have nothing of that sort at this
time and there, should be no ceiling
placed upon farm land prices unit
it reaches at least what is consid-
cred sound value, namely $500 ar
acre for improved Rice county land

Grange Conference
By Anthony E. KaniS.

On April Is and Is, a conference
of Grange deputies and other Grange
officers was held at Elk River. The
deputy from Pine county was An
thony E. KaniS of Sturgeon Lake
Among the state officers were State
Master William B. Pearson and Lee
turer Mrs. Kelley Davis. DR.. E. w
Sheets represented the national
master, Albert S. Gross of Washing
ton D. c.
DR.. Sheets, who said that he has
Is states to cover, is well informed
on all farm problems as we'll as on
the needs of the farmers today. He
was for Is years a chief of animal
husbandry in the u. S. Department
of Agriculture located in Washing
ton, D. c. Prior to and subsequent
to that time he was professor OF
animal and dairy husbandry in two
state agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations.
DR.. Sheets has been identified with
the Grange for nearly 40 years, being
at one time lecturer of the West Vir-
ginia State Grange. During his
many years in state and national
agricultural work, he has worked
very closely with other farm organi-
cations, educational institutions and
other agencies working for those
who live in farming communities.
Among the things discussed at the
meeting were farm needs of today
as well as organizing more Oranges
It was found that certain religions
are opposed to the Grange because
of some ceremonies that it uses. Il
was decided that those Objectionable
clauses should be removed from use
by the Grange to make it SO tha
there be no religious objections.
The Grange wants people of al
religions and it plans on trying t.
iron out the differences during thu
fall conventions of the state and ma

to get their living out of Washing
ton than it is to dig for it and now
they are willing to forgo all claims
to states rights in order that they
may continue to feed at the Federal
trough.
On the other hand Republicans
have been advocates of strong CEN
tralized government and it was not
until they had witnessed the .ener-
waiting affects of New Deal largeSs
that they too have reversed their
position. 1t was not long after WPA
had begun operating that the change
took place in both groups.
The Atlanta conference went on
record as favoring that Federal con-
tributions be on the 'basis of need
and necessity" which would mean
that southern states could dig deeper
into the Federal treasury for all sorts
of public projects. The people of the
north, being the heavier taxpayers,
naturally oppose such policy.
There is no question but that there
is great deal of poverty and dis
ease in some of the more backward
southern states and these states are
going to need Federal aid indefinitely.
That brings up another thought: AT
the Atlantic conference between
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill, those gentlemen sub
scribed to what is generally termed
the Four Freedoms, one of which is
freedom from want in all parts Of
the world. Vice President Wallace
later fortified the agreement by de-
claring that it was incumbent upon
us to see that every day there would
be a bottle of milk in every home
throughout the world which would
be a fine thing for our dairymen.
However, with the poverty that is
to be found in the big industrial
centers, and in large agricultural
areas in the south, in normal times,
it would seem that our first obligation
lies in providing "the more abundant
life" for our own people first and
this will undoubtedly have to be
done through Federal grants to
states.
There is a great deal of idle dream
ing being INDUCED in these days and
it would seem the part of wisdom
that we delay formulating definite
policy for the whole world until the
war has been concluded and we
know how much we are going to
have to do with. The Uncle Sam
of today is not the opulent gentle
man that he was Is or more years
ago. 1 am afraid that he is going
to have quite a job in getting to-
gether enough cash to take care of
his own needs but that doesn't mean
that we are not going to do every
thing that we possibly can to help
the less fortunate in other lands
when the time comes.

WHAT is THE GRANGE?
By Edna WernoWSky.

The question is often asked, what
is the Grange, of what value is it
to the farmer?" Webster says, "a
local lodge, patrons of husbandry
a powerful agricultural association "
The Grange is an. organization over
IS years old and embraces men,
bership of over 100000 people.
In Washington, D. c., a Grange
representative is constantly on the
job guarding the interests of the
farmers. Each local Grange has its
own legislative committee whose
duty is to draw up resolutions. These
resolutions are sent to the Wash
ington Grange representative where
they finally go through the mill and
into legislation.
The members quarterly dues con-
stitute the financial cost of the order.
The subordinate Clocal Grange)
state and national Grange are sup
ported almost entirely by the small
contributions from the members.
The Grange proved to be the most
alert organization in the rural area
after the Pearl Harbor disaster. Our
association quietly, but with deter
mination, dug in for all-out aid to
the great war effort. Due to our
many war services, we have been
recognized as an essential war agency
by the Secretary of Agriculture. The
local Bruno Grange in its financial
aid to the local branch of the Amer
lean Red Cross, to the county chap
ter and to the USO raised S252.4O
as well as bringing in about 10 tons
of scrap metal and rubber to send
to the boys with the slab teeth, via
U. S. bomber.
Our government realizing the great
Importance of the American farmer
urges us to make every effort to
produce and supply the gigantic
quantity of food to feed our great
fighting machine SO that we may
again live in peace and happiness.
That we will do, and not only for
an early victory but to feed starv-
ing world as well. So, therefore,
the farmer and his family should
be organized. In union their is
strength. The present and the future
of the farmer will be determined by
the strength of his organization. At
present only one-sixth of the farm
ers are organized. We need the other
five-siXths.
The Grange is instructive, bring
ing the latest aids to the farmer; in
legislative matters it is alert. 1t is
truly an American organization for
American farmers.
Join the Grange in your locality,
work, play and enjoy yourself
with US.

Governor Stassen
Departs

The four years and four months
of Harold E. StasSen as governor of
Minnesota came to a dramatic close
on Tuesday, April 81, l943, when
he resigned and entered the service
of his country as lieutenant COM
mander in the navy. At the same
time Ed j. Thye, the lieutenant gov
ernor, was sworn in as governor.
Whether in the past individuals
have agreed or disagreed with Gov.
Stassen is beside the point here.
Citizens now all join in wishing him
well in the armed forces.
The writer, as political opponent
In the 1910 and 1912 campaigns,
naturally is not in accord with him
on many economic, social and polit-
ical questions. Though the outlook
for success was not bright in either
campaign, there must be, in democ-
racy, an active minority as well as
the majority, for without that the
same conditions would prevail as in
the dictator nations-the theology
that we are now fighting.
Harold Stassen came to the COVER
nors office in January of 1889 as
a young man of 81, with the well
wishes of the great majority of Min
nesota's people, following the de-
plorable mismanagemento of state af-
fairs under the Farmer-Labor-Com-
munist administration of 1878.
The new leader took hold of the reins
of government as an able organizer,
and was untiring in his efforts and
ambitions Restoration of order was
appreciated, citizens generally gave
sigh of relief, and the governor
worked steady and aggressively dur
ing his more than two terms in
office
Not only is he hard worker but
an excellent speaker, and requests
for his appearance on speaking en-
gagements, far and wide, have been
many.
Mr.. Stassen is exceptionally shrewd
for his age, and it was interesting
and sometimes amusing to observe
his tactics toward some of the old
guard leaders of the Republican
party. The governor fully realized
that while he irritated the old guard
ers, they were in the same party with
him with the same sources of sup
port, fundamentally working for the
same detectives, and therefore, would
not part company. Through his
leadership and shrewdness, and with
continued big press build-up, he was
in an enviable position, and cum
ningly took advantage of the situa-
ton.
During the last few months espe-
cially, he gave many addresses out
over the country, advocating the
establishment of a world organiza-
ton for peace after the war, asking
that steps be taken now with thai
in view, and emphasizing Americas
opportunity for dominance in all
transportation after the war.
If Mr.. Stassen and the senator he
selected, Joseph H. Ball, with Other
leaders and the support of the peo-
pie, can be successful in the accom-
pIishment of peaceful negotiations be.
