SIX MORE BODIES
FOUND At AUSTIN
"More Food And Money" is Cry OF
State officials in Charge
of Work.

Austin. Pa, Oct. with six bodies
from the flood wreckage here
the face of another and skull so bad
" charred that neither the sex nor
approximate age of the victim could
be determined, the total number OF
known dead in the catastrophe OF last
Saturday now stands at thirty-eight.
All but one of the bodies were idonti-
fed.
They are:
Mrs. Preston Woleott, 58
Arthur Ainsworth, 40.
Mrs. Daniel Pearson, so.
Ellen Benson, 10.
Mrs. Thomas Lawler 25.

With the almost hourly revision of
the list of missing, the remaining nunl-
Der is approximate only. This is Civ
en- out officially as about forty and the
feeling is expressed that several will
never be found. Those not having
been consumed in the fire, it is thought,
will have lost any semblance TO a hu-
man body before uncovered.
The bodies of Arthur Ainsworth, one
of those recovered yesterday, was
found pinned down to what was the
sidewalk by a heavy sign that mark
ed his place of business. All the bod
les as fast as they are identified are
placed in plain caskets and given burial
with the states assistance where need
ed.
Although the expected number of Ia
borers have not come in, there are ap-
proximately 600 at work clearing up
the wreckage and the ehaitic appear
ance of the village is fast being chang
ed.
The first business enterprises since
the destruction of the village appeared
when several store keepers began to
display their wares One tobaccoist
salvaged a quantity of cigars, tobacco
and cigarettes, but soon sold out his
stock. A merchant on Ruckber street,
who carried a stock of miscellaneous
wares, furniture and musical instru-
ments, reached some small wares in
/ his wrecked building and on boxes,
bookcases, improved tables, displayed
few toys, notions and trinkets which
he was offering for souvenirs. Little
business was done however, as sight
seers were few.
Considerable anxiety is felt by the
state officers in charge because Of the
non-arrival of several cars of supplies
that have been reported on the way.
1--WE want food and we want money"
was the appeal of DR.. S. G. Dixon,
state health commission, in charge of
the work. THE food supply is getting
low and as we increase our working
force, we must find way to feed
them"
The regular water supply has been
re-established and today is to be made
available.
Governor John K. Tener arrived here
last night, several hours behind his
scheduled time, to inspect the broken
dam and the territory devasted by the
flood. With him came Adjutant Ste
wart. State Highway Commissioner E.
M. Bigelow, General Frederick w.
Fleitz, vice president of the state
water supply commission, and Farley

Numerous church organizations of
this state have discovered that the
best possible work they can do IN the
way Of home nIssions is 10 rid the
state of the liquor traffic and some
have detailed some of their abIest men
with their salaries paid up to work for
the ratification of the prohibition
amendment until the election is over.
1t has been discovered that churches
grow and prosper best where tnere are
no saloons, that men are better citizens
and families are happier and live bet
ter, that there is less crime and that
there are fewer lunatics and criminals
in dry territory than where the open
saloon is tolerated. 1t seems time that
the church was getting awake o duty
and to realize that that duty is to
fight the liquor traffic AS well rs other
evils. Every good churchn an will be
in line. If he has conscience he will
have to take the side of God and NOR
atty.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1911-12-20

It Is commonplace history that ma
tons and empires and civilizations
have their origin, their growth,
their ascendency and their decay
and extinction. The same thing is
true of trading, manufacturing and
commercial centers. Who remembers
now that Carthage, Venice, Antwerp
and other cities we're each in turn the
leading port of the world? Sir William
in his recent address before
the British Association, looked for
ward to . time, not more than one
and seventy.five years hence,
when the coal fields of Great Britain
will be exhausted, and to the near
approach of famine and misery. The
British are now, as the Phenicians,
the Venetians and Flemish we're once,
he great trading nation of the world,
With merchant fleet larger than all
others combined. Yet what assurance
Is there that the greatest empire that
aver existed will not be overthrown,
hat the scepter over the seas will not
oe transferred to another power, and
hat the English ports will not be de-
'erted by all but fishing smacks?

David p. Davis Meets with
Serious Accident.

David P. Davis, of South Bend,
Minnesota, brother of the late Dan F.
Davis of Cambria met with a serious
accident Wednesday noon while dri'
wing to New Ulm with his nephew
Thomas Walters. Near Aufderheides
brick-yard one of the horses became
frightened and bolted when it was
struck in the hind legs by the single
tree which had become unfastened.
This caused the tongue to drop out Of
the neck yoke and the frightened
horses started on run, but had gone
only q short distance when the bugg J
upset, falling upon Mr.. Walters, pin
ming him to the ground. Fortunately
for him, he escaped with but few
bruises and scratches.
The other occupant of the buggy,
fearing q serious runaway, sought
safety by jumping. He was un-
fortunate enough in striking the
ground to sustain q fracture of both
legs, one above and the other below
the knee. The injured man was taken
to the hospital by son of Fred Auf-
derheide and is, according to latest
advices, resting quite easily.

Interest in the canning industry is
increasing thruout Minnesota. This
10 shown by the attendance at tho con-
vention held IN st. Paul the past week
to consider subjects of moment to
those connected in any way with this
industry. It was urged that farmers
grow only the best sweet corn for
canning purposes so::thst the product
from this state may maintain it, high
reputation and thus make the invest
ment . paying proposition. Any
concern that turns out superane
products can always secure business
in spite of low prices of competitors.
There 10 . certain satisfaction to be
obtained by paying . good price for
something because the mere fact th ct
the article commands q good price 10
IN assurance that it is worth what 10
asked and the buyer is relieved of the
worry IS to whether bis purchase will
turn out right. There are bargain
AuAs0AoS " SVuISoS OuI tA0 srdu0 u
the bargain hunter is not the steady
support that q business concern wants
and needs and therefore it pays to
cater to the wishes of the buyer who
knows good article when he sees it
and is willing to pay a fair price for
it.
The canning industry is one in
which the difference between poor
goods and the better ones is very
apparent to the consumer and it does
not pay to try to ask decent price
for good material. It is therefore |
much better to deal only in good
materials and get more money. Cheap
things always are cheap and pay but
little profit. Farmers who succeed in
their business are those who realize
and act upon this truth in every de-
partment Of their work.
