NO FEAR
OF PANIC
JUDGEMENT OF SECRE-
TARY WILSON.
SAYS PERMANENT CROPS WILL
COUNTERFEIT WALL STREET
FURRY.

The prosperity Of the United States
cannot be destroyed by Wall street
furries, in the judgment of Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson. 1t has been
asserted by fnanciers who have come
to Washington and consulted with the
president that only good crops during
the coming season would save the
country from serious business and fl.
nancial depression and there will be
such crops, according to Mr.. Wilson.
mo longer can there be anything
like universal crop failure" said the
secretary. There is no reason to
anticipate anything more than the
growing of crops, how to prepare the
soil, how to seed and how to cult
yate plants ard harvest grain.
THE fiurries that are occupying
Wall street are not affecting the farm
population at all Many of the farm
ets do not now anything about them
and if they do, they think there is
SIMPLY mdnlDuldIlOu VI SlOCh Will
which they are not concerned. You
can not get the farmer to touch any
thing of that kind now, because he
does not know what the consequences
may be. A sad reflection on our rail
road stocks at this time is the fact
that notwithstanding farmers who
have made and are making money
know so little about railroad securi-
ties and have so little confidence in
them that they won't touch them, are
sending hundreds of millions Of dollars
ecross the border into Canada to buy
land which they know will not run
away"
The secretary deprecated the failure
of the railroads to furnish transporta-
ton for crops, pointing out that many
bins were full of grain as a result of
the lack of transportation facilities.
In consequence, money which would
have been paid for the crops is not
in circulation

POWER
BADLY WANTED
Establishment of Day Current at
the Power House Will Be a
Boon 10 Power Users.

There is considerable demand in
the city for a day electric current
from the city power house to furn-
ish power for motors for small ma
chinery, and petition will be
presented to the Water and Light
Commission and the city council to
establish such a service. There is
no other power quite so convenient,
safe and reliable as electrical energy
and if the service is once estab-
lished there is no doubt but that
the number Of consumers would
grow rapidly. The use Of electri-
city for domestic purposes as we'll
as for business and manufacturing
is growing rapidly. There are al
ready a number of housewives in
the city using electric irons for
ironing clothes, but without day
current their operations are neces-
sarily confined to the ,evenings.
With day current electric cook
ing, baking, etc., would no doubt
be introduced in many homes. In
many instances small electric mo-
tors would be used where foot
power is now used and where ma
chinery is prohibited for the lack
of clean and convenient power.
The probable immediate users of a
day current in the city would be
the printing offices, elevators, jew
elry stores and laundries, and other
places now using gasoline power.
1t is hoped that our, city fathers
will take kindly to the idea and in
augurate the service. With the
continued growth of the city a day
current is bound to come and the
city plant should take the necessary
steps to be able to supply the de-
mand.

FINANCES OF
STREET FAIR
A Statement of the Receipts and
Disbursements of the Street
Fair Just Closed.

The following statement shows
where the money for the recent
street fair came from and what it
was paid out for. The committee
of business men who had it in
charge gave their services gratuit-
ously and did the best they could
with the means at hand. The
amount Of money paid in premiums
was as large as at any former fair
and the exhibits were good in the
lines included in the list. The free
exhibitions were also as good or
better than any ever before seen
here. The main difference between
this and other fairs that have pre-
ceded it was that the line Of booths
on the street were omitted. This
feature is one that has increased in
cost with the cost of lumber and
could hardly have been erected for
less than $500. No one regrets
more than the committee that the
funds at it's disposal prevented more
elaborate street arrangements and
the giving of prizes on stock. poul-
try, etc. The lines determined up
on were for prizes were arranged
according to interest shown at
former fairs, the experience gained
being utilized in cutting out such
lines as seemed to attract least in
terest.
The committee does not object to
any just criticism Of the conduct of
the fair, but it does feel that some
unjust and unWarranted statements
have been published in several of
the newspapers of the villages of
the county. We seriously doubt if
these editors knew upon what they
based their charges Of "graft and
fake' in connection with the fair.
A sweeping charge is easily made,
but it may. not he so easy to sub
stantiate the same. We suggest
that those editors cite the instances
where the business men of Willmar
were guilty of grating in connec-
tion with the street fair. The be-
low statement gives all the items
Of receipts and expenditures by the
;comnsittee.

TWO YOUNG
MEN INSANE
The UnfOrtunateS Are Taken 10
Hospital at Fergus Falls to
Be Cared For.

Ernest w. Sundberg, the unfort-
,lnate young man who a couple of
weeks ago was picked up in a sick
and helpless condition and cared for
by Sheriff Bonde for eight days,
was taken before the probate court
last Wednesday, where the examin-
ing board consisting of Drs. E. S.
Frost and j. M. Rains, declared
him insane. He was taken to the
Fergus Falls hospital by Sheriff
Bonde. The young man was 26
years of age, single, and had rela-
tives living at Boudette, Beltrami
county. He had been working for
some time threshing in this vicinity
and later was employed on a fen
cling gang, with which he was
working at the time he was taken
mentally i'll.
Last Saturday another unfortu-
nate, Christopher E. Benson of 1rv-
ing, Of this county, was brot be-
fore the probate court and declared
insane. Drs. C. johnson and j. NJ.
Rains acted as examiners. The
man was thirty three years of age
and single. He was committed to
the Fergus Falls hospital, to which
place he was taken by the sheriff.
