Lansing, Mich. Oct. 23.-"The de-

inquiry, during the coming year, into
the fixing of retail prices by manufae-
turers. if sufficient funds are avail
able" according to Secretary Red
field ir his address before the Ian
sing Board of Commerce, this after
noon.
'grhe decision of the supreme court
making it unlawful for manufacturers
to make retail prices settles that law.
There are men, who are sincere foes
of monopoly, who incline to the belief
that under economic laws which are
greater than statutes, the broad pro-
hihition of the right to fix retail prices
by manufacturers tends to create
monopoly instead of being move
ment toward relief from monopoly,
continued Mr.. Redfield.
There is no thought of questing the
decision. 1t is law of the land and
such it is bound in letter and spirit
to be accepted and obejed. For the
guidance, however. of future leg1sia-
ton on this important subject, 1t is
desirable that the economic question
be worked out"
In his address, Secretary Redtield
also referred TO the work that the

of the attitude taken by this city.
The value OF these meetings lie in

STATE CROP IS
NEARLY NORMAL

All crops combined in North Da-
kota for 1913 amounted to ss.2 per
cent OF the normal crop for the state,
according to figures just ANNOUNCED
by the federal department Of agricul-
ture at Washington.
That this percentage is SO large is
probably due to the great increase in
acreage as the same report statees
that the crop for this year is only
70:4 per cent of the crop for 1912.
Minnesota leads all the states in the
northwest. according to the percent
age system, the crop for 1918 being
114.6 per cent Of the normal crop
produced in the state. and 97.7 per
cent Of the crop for 1912.
Montana's crop for 1913 was 93.9
per cent Of the states normal OUTPUT.
and 900 per cent Of the crop of 1912.

South Fifth street at the rear Of the
Nash property and owned by the
Great Northern railway. have been
condemned by State Fire Marshal
Runge. and must be removed within
sixty days.
The law provides that il buildings
which have been condemned are not

fine. =
Following the fire which damaged
the fiat building some three weeks
ago, the insurance companies allowed
Mr.. Rysstad damages which are said
to have totalled 1920.
Both the buildings which have been
condemned are old frame structures,
which Marshal Runge believed to be
a serious menace to the surrounding
property.
The order for their removal was not
given. however. until he had made a
thorough inspection.
The condemnation order comes en-.
tirely from the state. the city authori-

cases in future, is, however, now pend
