A Secret Trade.

The making of carbon paper
and typewriter ribbons is trade
secret, known to scarcely two
dozen people in the entire world.
1t has been handed down from
father to son for probably a cen
.tury. So carefully is the secret
guarded that the process has
never been patented. Much
money and time have been spent
to discover this secret but to no
avail. The secret of brewing
golden grain belt beer lies in
the use Of the purest and ex-
=pensive barley malt and hops.
The cost ageing this beer is not
considered: it is chow good and
not how cheap" can the beer be
made. The process is an evolu.
tion worked by years OF expert
menting and by careful, honest
work. The good this beer does
YOU demonstrates better than
the words the success Of the
effort. John f. Essler, Bemidp.

should be the busiest season OF the
year, the big -four mills Of Minneapo
lis stand idle.
AS fast as the wheat was run. out
in the mills Of the Washburn-Crospy
the Pillsbury-Washbur and the
Northwestern Consolidated companies
Wednesday night, the men quit their
work and by daylight practically all
the mills were at a standstill.
Sixteen hundred flour mill opera
tives, consisting of flour leaders and
packers are idle, and seventeen OF the
largest mills in Mime. polls with a
combined daily capacity Of $4,000 bar
rels a day are idle
Others Directly Affected.
In addition to the 1,6Jo operatives
directly involved about 5000 other
men will be directly affected; these
are coopers, bagmakers and those en-
ployed in other industries directly de-
pendent upon the mills.
The strikers say that the presence
in the mills Of $4,000 worth of washed
wheat, which will be ruined If not
ground Immediately, will be an induce
ment to the millowners to seek a
speedy settlement Of the strike.
The millers held a meeting at noon
and at the close announced that the
strike situation was unchanged.

.tration proposition, for we have
Nothing to Arbitrate,"

burn mills.
The railroads are the heaviest suf
ferers by reason of the strike. They
handle over 400 cars of flour every day
during the season, and the strike
causes the loss Of nearly this amount
of freight every day.
Nearly 5000 other men are unem'
ployed by reason of the strike. They
are bagmakers, coopers and other IN
dustrial workers dependent on the
mill operation for employment. The
millers have advertised for men to
take the place of the strikers.
Men Ask Arbitration.
The strikers held a meeting at
Union temple yesterday at which 1900
employees we're present. Reports
showed that less than l per cent OF
the mill employees had failed to join
the strike No effect of the strike on
the market has developed.
The officers Of the union presented
to Mayor Haynes a communication OF
fering to return to work if the mayor
will appoint committee of five rep
resentative citizens to arbitrate their
differences with the millowners.
The millowners claim that the strike
will be broken shortly.
