MANUFACTURERS PROTEST
CONVICT GOODS ENTRIES

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has
been requested by representatives Of the
American Manufacturers Association to
forbid TN entry Of $4,000 worth of cot
ton bagging now held up at the ports of
New York and New Orleans On the
ground that it was manufactured by con-
victs. Both the Payne-Aldrich and In
derwoOd-SimmOns laws prohibited the
Importation of goods manufactured, in
whole or in part" by convict labor.
1t is claimed by the association that in
as much as convicts prepared the fiber
from which the bagging was made, they
participated in its manufacture. Their
request is regarded as involving an ex-
ceedingly nice Interpretation of this pro-
vision of the tariff law.

POPULAR COUPLE
To LEAVE FARGO
w. .. RINGLING AND HIS WIFE,
. RESIDENTS OF FARGO FOR THE
PAST TWELVE YEARS, TO GO TO
KASSoN, MINN.-MAY RETURN
g. LATER.

{ W. B. Ringing and his popular wife,
made their home in Fargo, have left
tthe city for Kasson, Mimi, where Mr..
Ringing will take charge of the mer-
camille business left by his father, who
died in that city on Sept. 8. Mrs.
Ringing left last night, and will meet
her husband in Minneapolis.
Mr. Ringing is one of the best
known statesmen in this part of the
country, having been the representa-
tive here Of the Wyman, Partridge Co,
minneapolis, for the past twelve years.
He was out on a hunting trip when
the news reached him of the serious
illness of his father. He fastened at
once to his bedside, out was unable to
get there in time, and arrived three
hours after his father had passed away.
Mr.. Ringing took the body to the old
home, in Ohio, where interment was
made.
He then went to Kasson and took
charge of the business. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rlngl1ng are uncertain whether or not
their departure from Fargo is to be
permanent. They will be gone for six
months at least. There is a possibility
that they will obtain the services of
a manager for the business there. so
that they will be enabled to return
here, but SO far their plans are tenta-
tive.
During the many years that Mr.. and
Mrs. Ringing have been residents of
this city, where they have lived most
of he time at the Waldorf hotel, they
have made a host Of friends, and it
will be a very genuine regret to those,
who know them to learn that they are
to leave the city, a regret in which
they themselves share.
However much their friends NAV
wish them to do what seems best from
g business standpoint, there Is not one
who does NOT hope that their absence
from Fargo will be as brief as pos
Sible.
