our COUNTRY'S COMMERCE
WHAT CITIES ARE NOTED FOR
BY Frederick j. Haskins, in courierJournaI.

Volumes would be required to give
the details OF the manufactures of this
country, but there are some instances
in which particular cities excel. Troy
New York, manufactures nearly 90 per
cent Of the collars and cuffs made in
the United States. There are 1900
wage.earners in that city who make
their living by manufacturing our col.
lars for us. Troy owns the collar bust.
ness by the divine right of discovery.
In 1929 EbeneZer Brown started there
the first collar factory on earth. The
early patterns We're tied about the
neck with a string. Six years later
laundering was begun in connection
with the business, and the stiff collar
and billed" shirt We're born into the
world OF commerce. However, we
Americans still use millions of shirts
of the hickory variety, which are
forever innocent of Numbered col
lar.

MINNESOTA BANKS
North Star Financial Institutions
Are MAKING A Fine ShOwjn0

That Minnesota banks are all right
is evidenced by the statement sent
out by the clearing house committee
OF the Chicago Clearing House AS
sOciation, relative to conditions in
North Star state banks outside of the
reserve cities during November, 1907.
Or November %, letters were sent
out by the committee to all the banks
outside of the reserve cities asking
several questions, among which were
the following: Whether the banks
were in favor of an immediate re-
sumption of currency payments or
whether they were against it; how
much currency they could ship to
their correspondents in Minneapolis,
st. Paul and Duluth, and how much
money would have to be shipped to
them Outside of st. Paul and Mime
apolis 125 banks answered the letters.
OF these 124 were in favor of an i'm
mediate resumption of currency pay
ments. They agreed to ship to their
correspondents s322,0O0. and they
would only need s22 500 shipped to
them.

NOT ON TIGHT Enough
Mayors Personal Investigations
Show That Sunday Closing is
Somewhat Defective

The Sauk Centre cid" ratified
slightly last Sunday.
1t failed to stay on as tightly as it
ought to have done.
Result, personal investigation by
the mayor, showing that ingress and
egress via "the little side door," was
possible on Sunday.
Immediately after being elected to
the office of mayor of this city last
March, ]. w. Ward issued orders to
the saloon men and to the police
force that all saloons must be closed
on Sundays. Later came the state.
wide Sid" decision and its resultant
effects.
Last Sunday morning. His Honor
the Mayor ran across citizen on the
streets who gave unmistakable evil
dence OF having quaffed something
stronger than water or ginger ale.
Mayor Ward grew wroth and wonder
ed If his orders were being carried out.
He Immediately determined to make
a personal investigation of existing
conditions.
With the mayor, to decide to do
thing is to do it without delay. He
started out and made round of each
retail liquor dispensary in the city.
He soon discovered that "the little
side door, worked all right. The
Herald is unable to state whether His
Honor gained admission to all tae
drink dispensaries or not; but it is
reliably informed that he got in at least
one. The chief Of police accompanied
him on part of his tour. At one place
TWO gentlemen were enjoying social
game of cards, but at the bar there
was nothing doing"
AS result of this official tour of
inspection, it is understood that there
now exists better understanding
with the men engaged in the LIQUOR
traffic and the police force than the
mayor has yet had, and that if there
should be infractions of the law here
alter it will not be the mayors fault.
No arrests have yet been made and
Mayor Ward is non-committal.
The Herald is unable to state
whether the mayor discovered the
sale of liquor going on in any of the
saloons he visited Sunday. The mere
fact, however, that entrance can be
obtained to saloon on Sunday is
sufficient to convict on a legal action
for infractiOn Of the law.

The verdict was in writing and
awarded the plaintiff $500 damages.

testimony of medical experts, they
having been employed by both sides.
There is another case as a.. result
of the accident namely a damage
suit for $4,000 for the death of Miss
