Less THAI one per cent OF the gigantic
grain crop of the northwest has
res:led the market. Four million
h,shels less grain has beer marketed
thus far this year than at the same
time last year. Lumber dealers re-
port an unparalleled demand for
cheaper lumber. and this coupled with
low grain receipts, grain gamblers
say. means that the farmers OF the
northwest are holding their grain
upon their own land. That the
farmer is prepared to hold his grain
until he gets s1.25 bushel for il, is
the word brought today.

Father Moran expressed himself as
pleased to be present in Mankato. He
said that he never lectured and would
not start here, but that he would tell
those present OF the life of Christie
pher Columbus. He said that dis
covery Day" was an event in our his
tory that should be fittingly observed,
a distinct event in the worlds history
which made possible the civilization
and progress OF America. the home of
the free and the land of opportunity.
Discovery day ranked next as an
epoch making event with the birth of
Christ. Columbus was poor, but he
studied and gave attention to his
work. He had an idea-an object in
life.
1T IL the man of hope who makes
the world go round" said Father
Moran. columbus was man OF
hope. and considered nothing impos-
sible Tor C'ghteen years he contin-
ued his appeals to the court of Spain
His poverty was but the stepping
stone to his greatness. On his long
and discourasing journey Hope was
the star that guided him until this
new country was discovered. His first
act on reaching shore gives the key
to his character. He fell on his knees
and gave thanks To God
Some people regard Columbus as n
religious fanatic; some historians
say he cared only for gold: others
tell OF his last days being spent in
poverty and dishcnor. But the Span
ish praised and idolized him always
!. To the great Columbus we
owe this fertile soil where has grown
tho splendid type of Americans. We
say. God bless cur country and we
praise the land wherein is life. lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness
which We are willing to enjoy with
others. Columbus plan was
20 establish a Kingdom of God and II
is our duty to accept that legacy and
to defend it," Enthusiastic applause
greeted Father Moran's address. The
remainder of the evening was spent
in playing cards and dancing.
