Coupons and Premiums Opposed.

We can recommend the discontinuance
of the practice of placing coupons or Civ
ing premiums with food products, for as
such premiums are ultimately paid for
by the consumer, II is obvious that in
creased prices are charged which would
not be necessary if this practice were dis
conti"ued
We can encourage the idea of the
Department of Agriculture that com
Tnunities. so far as possible consume
home grown and home-produced foods
and goods. thereby helping to relieve
the congestion prevailing on the rail-
roads In line with this idea it would be
desirable to have canneries and abat :
-tofrs established in small centers or
communities. so far as the idea is eco
nomicallv feasible. to obviate the neces-
slty of sending fruits, vegetables and
i've stock to distant points only to have

Appeal to every person in Washington
to give something from their celebra-

pointed out that this year the display
/ of fireworks annually provided at the
Washington Monument through the
small gifts of many citizens since the
establishment of the safe and sane"
celebration July 4. 1908, will very prop
erly be omitted.
The continuing committee Commits
sioner Newman. chairman, turned over
last years balance. s104.71. to the Red
Cross war service fund 1t is hoped that
all those who would have given for the
municipal fireworks will give the
amount to the Red Cross, thus swelling
the fund by from $1,000 to $500. and
ministering to the patriotic fighting
men OF today in memory of those of

prices are lower at the time the farmer
hopes to sell his product and then are
likely to repeat the phenomenon of last

The fear is that low prices to the
producer at this time will act as a
retardation Of the efforts to increase
production in this country, and the pro-
vision in the food control bill which
would fix a minimum price for certain
products to be paid the producer is
pointed to as the one effective means

families. The first feature was

by the visitors. After the din

will appear in an early issue.

over to the shipping committee.
The shipment mas already been
made.
The County branches of the
Red Cross workers made a splen-
did showing in the military pa
rade in Mondays program. The
marching clubs most of them
wore the white gown with the
red cross which is the insignia
of the organization. Several of
them wore becoming nurses
aprons, the regulation cap and
other uniform features. Perhaps
the best showing of the group
was made by the Milroy Branch
which was represented by a
large number of marchers, who
carried knitting bags and knitted
during the parade.
Because of the heavy work
done by the Redwood Falls
branch in serving lunches at the
city park and refreshments at
the fair grounds, the Redwood
Falls women did not march in
the parade. Their work at the
refreshment counters began dur
ing the forenoon, lasting until
late in the evening, making it
impossible for them to attend
to anything else except the work
in hand. Mrs. C. C. Little, coun-
ty chairman, and Mrs. G. R.
Pease, local chairman, rode in
an automobile heading the Red
Cross section of the parade.
