Joe Fischer Buys
Expensive Herd
Spends $2O,25O for Purebred Here
fords at Candy; One Bull
Calf Sold for $4,000

Ferguson Bros, owners of the Fer
guson Hereford Farms at Candy,
closed deal last Saturday night for
SO head Of their registered Hereford
cattle for S20,250, or an average of
$562.50 per head, to Joseph J. Fischer,
of North Redwood, Mimi.
In this sale was included their pick
of a pair of twin bull calves, sired
by Louis Fairfax, at the handsome
sum of $4,000. These calves were
six months and one day old the day
of the sale. The other twin bull calf
will be retained by the Fergusons
who refuse to put price on him.
Five of these cows brought the sum
of $500, or an average of $1,000
each.
While this is termed a remarkable
sale for this part of Minnesota, yet
If only goes to prove the Fergusons'
contentious that the thinking farm
ers and breeders are demanding quail
ity above quantity.
Mr.. Fischer is practical young
farmer who has always handled a
large number of grade cattle. He
recently decided to move farther to-
ward the pinnacle of success and
with his resolve decided to dispose
of his herd of 200 head of grade cat
tie and to visit the Ferguson herd
and make the start with the very
best beef cattle procurable, for Mr..

Drafted Men to
Go This Month
Expected Entire First Draft Army
Will Be at Camp Dodge Soon

The remaining drafted men in Min
nesota probably will be sent to Camp
Dodge this month, Governor Burn
quist was officially advised recently
by Provost Marshal General E. H.
Crowder.
Although the telegram received by
the Governor gave no definite or fur
ther information on that subject, it
resulted in an announcement that the
cost of the draft in Minnesota was
approximately $4,000, or at the rate
of about 81 man, and made known
the plan of the administration to
make formal acknowledgement in the
name Of the President to public spir-
tied men who have donated their SER
vices on draft boards.
'SThe delivery of the first contin-
gent of the national army has been
delayed unduly because certain can
tonments were not in position to
receive that contingen, but it is now
expected that it can be completed
during November" General Crowder
advised
Urged to Close Accounts.
The message added that it is de-
SiICu W IIIOIII SOIlSfGSS III DoceIn-
Der Of the total and the individual
unit cost of the first draft army in
each state as nearly as is practicable.
To that end state draft officials are
requested to close as nearly as pos
sible with the November current ac-
count and to wire at once the ap-
proximate figures.
The estimate of $4,000, or about
$4 for each of the 17,178 Minnesota
drafted men, was made by F. B. Wood,
former adjutant general and state
draft chief, who is still handling the
government draft funds in Minnesota.
Allowance of $4,000 Of federal
funds will be exhausted by payment
dating to November 1, he said, and
the first draft quota will depend on
the number of district board mem
bers to demand S4 day for services
and on the total of disputed and new
bills.
According to General Crowder, pre-
liminary reports from six eastern
states indicate that the unit cost will
be lower than that under any other
method of raising armies which the

Redwood Holds
Football Parade
Defeats st. Peter 86 to 0 at Fair
Grounds Saturday; Litchfeld
Plays on Thanksgiving

What gave prospects OF being a
good football game between st. Peter
and Redwood Falls high school last
Saturday degenerated into a football
parade with Redwood Falls in the
lead with the pigskin tucked under
its arm. The first touchdown was
scored by Captain Yackel two min
utes after the opening whistle blew.
From then on Redwood kept two men
and boy busy counting up the score.
Shortened quarters prevented an
equal distribution of honors, but af
ter the final whistle blew it was
easier to name those on the Redwood
team who had not made touchdown
than those who had.
The ST Peter team, it developed
just before the game, has just been
really unprepared to meet an expert
able to hold Redwood's line, while
their backs were lost in Coach Nc
Pheeters' signals. On the offensive
they discovered Redwood's line a
stonewall. Time after time they
smashed to no avail. One backfeld
man might have proved dangerous
had he found clear field as he was
fast and hard runner However
Redwood saw to it that he did not
find a clear field.
1t is hard to say on what forma-
tion most of Redwood's touchdowns
came. Yackel twice ran 60 yards for
a touchdown from the kick off. Some
were made by long passes, others by
line smashes. At no time was ST.
Peter near enough to try for touch
down. The visiting boys played hard,
however, and despite defeat and i'll
luck by injury, they played a plucky
game.
The game was advantageous to
Redwood from one point of view, but
from another probably disadvantage
eous. While it gave the coach
chance to play all the eligible subs it
was hardly the kind of a game to
put the first string of men in condi-
ton for the two hard games to fol-
low. Both will be hard games, but
with hard practice Redwood ought to
be able to meet them in her usual
form.
Next Saturday, November II, is an
open date The following Saturday
the team goes to Madison where it
meets an old time rival. Advance
dope on the game is not very plenti-
full. Redwood last year broke the
ehoodoo' by winning from Madison
on the Redwood field. What the re-
suit of this years game will be, re-
mains to be seen.
All eyes are turned toward the
Thanksgiving Day game when Red
wood plays Litchfield at Redwood
Falls. This will be by all odds the
hardest game on the local boys
slate. It is rumored that Litchfield
is out for state honors. At any rate
we know that the type Of football
Litchfield always plays is such or
will give Redwood real game. The
Redwood team is in much better
shape this year than was the team
that was defeated by Renville last
Thanksgiving Day. 1t shows better
team work and has a better line of
reserves. Litchfield is anxious to
play and will "give no alibi if they
lose"
The local management hopes to
have free jitney service from the
bank corners to the fair grounds on
that day, to accommodate all per-
sens so unfortunate as not to be a
friend Of the Great Henry ~ D. The
officials for the big game have al
ready been secured, the time is set,
and we shall burn offerings to placate
his Majesty the Weather Man.

Colonial slavery is a blot upon
many a modern nations history. In
twenty years during this period in
America, 100000 negroes were ex-
ported to the United States. From
1880 to 1856 it is estimated that p
10000 negroes were imported into
all the British Colonies in America.
Naturally great numbers of slaves
died while in captivity before leaving
Africa, and many more died during
the ocean passage Probably only
one-half of those captured survived
the various stages of their transporta-
ton to America. There was the great
est recklessness in their treatment,
and the utmost Indifference to their
suffering.
Slavery has been abolished in most
countries, but it still exists in the
Mohammedan East, altho usually only
in households. While there is undoubt-
edly still some traffic in slaves, it is
almost universally against the laws of
the nations, and those who engage in
it do so contrary to the edicts of con
crosses and parliaments which have
been supported by practically all civ
ilized peoples. In some countries
system of peonage is in vogue, which
amounts to a practical slavery. But,
on the whole the system of slavery
no longer affects the laborer to such
degree that the workingmen suffer
very materially on account of it.
In discussing the question of the
abolition of slavery, Mr.. j. Osborne
Ward says, in "Ancient Lowly":
eve shall submit that the religion
Of Jesus, planted by manual laborer
and forming the basis of hope upon
which stands the great labor move
ment of our time-has been the power
that openly struck the first well-or-
ganized blow at the system of masters
and slaves, and boldly championed 1T
as a principle; and in essence it has
never since shrunk from its prodigi-
GUS task toward realizing the much
icontested doctrine of human equal
Pity."
Following the system of slavery
came that of feudalism. Men had
passed through the hunting and fish
ing period. They began to settle on
the land. They had learned how to
till the soil. They did not own it,,
but the Gland lords" gave them the
use of the property on condition OF
! tribute or service. The lords gave
them protection from the common enc
my. This system was developed prin-
cipally from the fifth to the ninth
century. There were many forms OF
feudalisms. conditioned upon the stu
alton prevailing in different countries
and upon the character of the baron
! to whom the serfs gave tribute.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-12-22
LABOR IN SLAVERY-FEUDAL TIMES

The serf rarely paid any rent for
the use of his bit of land. His service
to the baron in time of war or in
other ways was his ordinary tax. With
the development of the professional
military class and the growth of city
life through the grouping together
Of the artisan and other classes, feud-
alism gradually disappeared. In 1860
ished land tenures. Scotland followed
in 1747. In France the revolution of
1889 brought the same result; in Ger
many and Austria it was the revolu
tion of 1S4S-5O which accomplished its
destruction. In Russia it was de-
stroyed in 1861. Meanwhile, great
changes have been WROUGHT. so that
when the system was finally abol-
ished, little of the original condition
remained.
During this period religious leaders
who were raised up from among the
people fought against the system.
They testified to the value Of the
individual. They taught that before
God all men were equal Saws Thor

Mr.. Schwalm diverts the phrase I
used to the effect chat "a fighting ma
tion cannot be a democratic nation"
and bewails our fate if that is true:
The fact is a democratic people are
the best fighters in the world when
they have to fight. The phrase re-
lates to nations whose whole aim is to
prenare for war, making war pro-
fession, as Germany has been doing
I for over forty years. Such aims and
purposes are inconsistent with the
true spirit of democracy. and are not
to be found in single democracy in
the whole word. And it is true that
the more nearly monarchy ap-
proaches a state of limitation of its
sovereignty, and increases the liber-
ties of its subjects; or in other words,
the more nearly it comes to a denoc-
racv, the less becomes the military
/ spirit of both sovereign and people.
Judge by this rule land there can
be no better test of democracy. and

preparation for ever fortv years. does
