He Put Matter Up to the
State Safety Board
made FORCEFUL TALK
No Action Was Taken, But the
"Vags" Will Sure Get
Theirs
From Thursdays Daily.


st. Paul, June 28.-The Daily News
published this story:
Outrageously high prices now being
charged in Minnesota for food and
coal were put squarely up to the state
safety commission Tuesday by John
Lind.
"Do something to see that the peo-
pie are not held up for their daily
bread" he told his fellow commission
ers.
The commission did nothing.
Demand Made BY Lind.
Mr. Lind's demand that steps be
taken to relieve the situation OF the
masses of Minnesota people followed
proposal to appoint some more
committees.
"This commission ought to stop Gre
ating new committees to take care of
the social uplift and do something
in relation to the increasing cost of
food and coal,' said Mr.. Lind.
"What can we do?" asked Commits
sioner C. w. Ames, who had urged the
appointment of the additional COM
mittees.
at is up to us to see what we can
do" replied Mr.. Lind.
The Food HoIdup.
1--WE can, at least, see that the peo-
pie are not held up for their daily
bread.
81 believe that there is plenty Of
this kind of work to be done.
Its about time that this commits
sion did something along this line"
The commission made no effort to
go further with Mr.. Lind's suggestion,
but adjourned to meet next Tuesday,
after adoption of a resolution to per-
nit the state board of control to seine
German carp and other rough fish
from Minnesota lakes for use in state
institutions.
New Kind of "Vags."
The commission has adopted new
name for syndicalism, agitation against
enlistment and anti-war efforts.
A model ordinance, drawn by the
safety body for adoption by all Min
nesota cities, towns and villages,
groups these offenses under the term
vagrancy, punishable as such.
It's authors expect the law to en-
brace all violations of the recent acts
Of the legislature prohibiting criminal
syndicalism and advocacy against
military service. 1t is said to be
aimed principally at the /. w. w. and
socialists.

greatest war Of nations the world has
ever known.
This struggle has been waged in
such a ruthless, inhuman manner
against both foe and neutral, that in
order to defend our rights and free
dom, our own United States has been
unwillingly drawn into this awful
struggle against the enemy of free
government. With our commerce as
sailed. our ships sunk. our citizens
drowned. and our flag insulted, our
government and all it stands for is in
jeopardy. Our Stars and Stripes, the
harbinger of peace, must never cease
to bear its message of freedom to the
nations.
TO DEFEND RIGHTS.
The president and congress of the
United States have called upon us to
defend a worlds rights, our homes, and
our country. Many Of our fathers,
brothers and sons have enlisted to
bear arms in defense Of freedom. While
you to whom this word is addressed
are not qualified to thus serve your
government, there is another way in
which we may all have opportunity
to give evidence of our love and pa
triotism. Our soldiers and the ma
lions with whom we are allied in this
dreadful conflict must be fed. Food
Is scarce even in our own good land
and many across the seas in the war
stricken countries are now actually
starving.
The president Of our United States
and the governor of our own dear state
have called upon you, the happy school
children of Idaho, to show your pa
triotism and love of freedom by en-
listing to serve the nation by increas-
ing the production of food.
An all-wise Providence has permit
ted us to live in a land of peace and
plenty. AS children we have never
known the horrors Of war nor the
pangs of hunger. If this blessed con-
dition is to be preserved unto US, we
must each in cleanliness, love, and
purity, do our duty.
Help is scarce on the farms in Ida
no. If we are to have food the crops
must be grown and harvested Your
help is needed. You are able to serve
your country on the farm field with as
much honor as though on the battle
field. Your country calls. Will you
enlist?

Realizing Was Active and De cember Contracts Broke to S4 or More Per Bale Under Tues days Close.

New York, Oct. 10.-There was a very sharp reaction in the cotton mar ket today. The tendency to reduce crop estimates as a result of frost held sellers in check early, but realiz- ing was, very active and December contracts broke to 25.S0c in the late trading, or more than $4 per bale under last nights closing figures. That delivery closed at the low point, with the list closing barely steady at a net decline of 78 to 104 points.
 The opening was irregular at an advance of 47 points on October, which sold at 27.8Oc, making new high record for the season. Other months were points higher to , points lower, and soon worked off to net decline of 2S to 33 points. Jan uary broke to 25.52c and March to 25.49c, making a net decline of S3 to 90 points to the more active position The close was within a few points of the lowest, or about 130 to 150 points below the high level reached on the frost news of yesterday. The only report reaching the ring, attempting to estimate the frost damage, came from the Boston office of a south western firm, placing the probable re. duction in the crop at not less thar 100000 bales.

London, Oct. 11.-It would be big mistake for America hastily to con1 clude that the German mutiny means the beginning of the end. Intelligent students of German affairs with eX- ceptional inside information" warn ed today against attaching undue sig nificance to the revolt of a few sailors which rebellion was immediately re- pressed with an iron hand and discip- line restored, and which was doubtless caused by insufficient food.
