EFFORT T0 BLOCK FARM SALE FOUGHT Insurance Company Agent Says Auction Was Completed Despite Farmers’ Action. By the Associated Press. ‘WILLMAR, Minn, January 21.—One thousand farmers who thronged the court house left today believing they had prevented foreclosure of a mort- gage on land tilled by its occupant 57 years, but whether they had done so Was uncertain tonight. ; ‘While the sheriff contended he heard no bids after reading the notice of foreclosure on the farm of Soren Han- financial correspondent for ance company hclding the | lien s2id he regarded the sale as_ccmpleted. | Emil Aspaas, Willmar, was authorized | to place the bid for the insurance | , but, as the sheriff concluded | rea the public notice, several in | the crowd grabbed the representative to prevent him entering a bid. Postponement Held Illegal, H. F. Williams of Minneapolis, repre- senting the insurance company, said the sheriff had no legal right to an- nounce postponement of the sale for two weeks as he did. “Just as I finished reading the no- tice,” Sheriffl Paul E. Anderson said, “a bunch grabbed Aspaas and wouldn't let him put in a bid. When I couldn’t get a bid, I telephoned Willilams and asked him what I should do. He said| get the sale closed. By the time I got| back I couldn't find Aspaas and no bid had been entered. So I announced postponement.” Following announcement of postpone- ment, John Bosch, Atwater, president | of the Minneapolis Farmers' Holiday | Association, called a meeting of the crowd, “It's time that Congress should give ns farmers relief,” Bosch said, “and if we organize properly we can get the right kind of legislation so that they (mortgage holders) won't take our farms away. It's a shame a man can't keep | his farm after living on it 57 years.” Holds Company Lenient. Williams asserted his company_ had been “more than lenient” with Han- son, who owns a 160-acre farm. Han- son gave the mortgage in 1925. “We have carried Hanson,” Williams said. “We offered to defer foreclosure until 1934 if he would give us a chat- | tel mortgage on part of his crop, but he has refused to do so.” ‘The incident here was another among | acts by groups of farmers in several Midwest States to prevent disposses- sion due to failure to meet obligations. Legislation pending in several Siat!‘s‘ and in Congress is aimed at the same result. Calls for a rope were heard when an attorney sought to foreclose a mort- gege near Pllger, Nebr., in the presence of 1.000 men who dispersed after the farmer gave a check for $25 in settle- | e attorney and & d-puty sheriff vented from driving their cars. Fifty men who went to a farm near Le Mars. Jowa. compelied the owner to relinguish notes given by a tenant. Another proverty owner near Le Mars | made 2 sct nt with a tenant after & group of farmers visited her. | CK"AHOMA FARMERS MARCH. !

WINTER ART SHOW IS HELD IN LONDON Royal Academy Exhibits Work of Artists Who Have Died Recently. LONDON, January 21 (N.AN.A).— The Winter exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts consists of represen- tative works by R. A’s who have re- cently died. Next year there is to be a retrospective exhibition of British art, and in 1935, for the first time in its history, Burlington House will be the scene of an exhibition of art in British industry, which will cover tex- tiles, glass, pottery, furniture, metal work and printing. “The decision is a ‘beau geste’ on the part of the Royal Academy,” said the secretary, “and shows that al- though primarily concerned with the fine arts, the president and council realize the necessity for making a su- preme effort to emphasize the value of the artist in industry, as well as the dependence of greatly to the benefit of the nation's trade and finahces.” The present exhibition commemo- rates the work of Orpen, Dicksee, Greiffenhagen, Charles Sims, Charles Ricketts and others, and comprises 889 works, 155 of which are by Orpen, who is represented from his school days almost to the end of his life. Among the works shown are his extraordi- narily mature “play scene from ‘Ham- let’” done when he was 19, many of his war studies, some amusing self- portraits, and portraits of people famous in many walks of life. These include paintings of Dame Madge industry on design, | Kendal, Mr. Selfridge, George Moore | and Augustus John. Private view day did not draw nearly such a big crowd as usual.

SKULL OF ICE AGE FOUND IN SCOTLAND Antiquaries” Believe Find Is Even Older Than the Famous Piltdown. GLASGOW (#).—A skull, believed to be that of & man who lived thousands of years ago, is exciting interest among Bcottish scientists. Sir Arthur Keith, anthropol who is making an invest: nuan.w cau- that, although the skull may probably be the oldest yet dis- covered in Scotland, the study is still in its early stages. 7 The skull and parts of anclent dwell- ings were discovered at Pollock Brick- works, Glasgow, last May, but were not considered important until further dis- coveries were made in August. These included a number of piles of anclent dwellings, sharp instruments which appeared to investigators, to bear evidence of having been bugied during 5-Piece New Crosley “Fiver” * Baby Grand Radio OQutfit Five shown, Grand Radio, plete with tubes: Oc- pieces, comprising Crosley “Fiver” Baby as com- 528 casional Chair, Smoker Lamp, Shade and Radio Table, Easy Terms 14-Pc.

This was at first thought to be pitchblende, but examination proved it it was vlvla.nm.a:ld to take at least 1,500 years to develop. ‘““There is Teason to believe,” said D. Adam, a fellow of the Soclety of An- tiquaries, “that the skull belonged to an inhabitant of Scotland during the Ice Age, and it is estimated that it is older than the famous Plitdown skull.” The Piltdown skull was disccvered by Charles Dawson at Piltdown, Sussex, in 1912, and was belleved by some ex- pf;u to be not less than 100,000 years ol ‘The new find is more complete than the Plitdown akull. ——— LECTURES TO BEGIN Dr. Bterling V.
