TRADE TAKES ON
PRE-NAR CLOAK
Competition for Commercial Con-
quest of Germany and Other Re-
Gently Enemy Countries Well Un-
der Way in England

LONDON, Sept. 19.-American
and British foreign trade interests
have resumed their accustomed pre-
war code and the competition for
the commercial conquest of Germany
and other recently enemy countries
is well under way.
This is freely admitted by repre-
sentatives here of both American
and British trade bodies. The Lon
don head of one American business
mems organization said;
THE business man reasons it out
this way: entually-perhaps in
year from now-we shall have re-
sumed normal trade relations with
those nations which were, until
few months ago, our enemies. Why
not get busy now-if don't, some
one else will. SO sentime entail con-
siderations are eliminated. The dol
lar and the pound once more are
what business is seeking"
A sharpness of competition unap-
preached in pre-war days will char
acterize the conduct of foreign trade
activities during the next few years,
+. is generally conceded. Americas
possession of raw materials, her fac
ilities for quantity productions and
the fact that her industrial machin-
cry is not so clogged with strikes
and other labor disturbances which
are seriously impairing British
trade, it is thought, ensures the
United States a fair proportion of
this business.
But it is pointed out that volum-
inous foreign trade viii be essential
ly new game" and British traders
feel that lack of experience will off
set, in a measure, the advantages in
dicated which now favor American
trade bidders.

Elizabeth Smith
Dies AT Rochester
DAUGHTER OF Mr.. AND MRS.
A. %. SMITH SUCCUMBS TO
PNEUMONIA SATURDAY.

Elizabeth ColviIle Smith, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. d. Smith died at
the Mayo hospital at Rochester last
Saturday. Her death is directly at
.ributed to influenza and pneumonia
which she contracted after going to
Rochester where she was awaiting an
examination for goitre trouble from
which she had been suffering for the
past Two years. Funeral arrangements
have not yet been made as Mr.. Smith,
who was with his daughter at the time
of her death, is in the hospital at Roch-
ester, i'll with tonsilites and is no. yet
sufficiently recovered to permit him
to return home. However it is known
that the funeral service, which proba
bly, be held the last of the week, will
be very private, only the members of
the immediate family being present.
Miss Smith was teaching at Alexan-
dria when she became severely trou-
bled with the goitre and finally her
condition became so bad that she re-
signed her position and came home,
arriving here about the middle of jan
uary. She and her parents decided it
would be wise to consult the Drs. Mayo
concerning the LTOuUA6 dIlu sic, III COl1-
pany with her mother went to Roch-
ester for that purpose. There she con-
tracted the influenza and within a
short time became the victim of pneu
monia, which caused her death.
Elizabeth Smith was born in Red
wood County September IT, 1892 and
spent her girlhood days at her home
here, graduating from the local high
school in the class of IL. She then
went to Park College, at Parkville, Mo.
and was graduated from there in 1915.
Immediately after her graduation
from college she spent one year in
mission work among the poor whites
of Alabama. Finding this work too
much of strain on her physical health
she came home and the next year
took position as teacher in the school
at Walnut Grove Following that she
went to Alexandria where she returned
last year for her second years work,
having been made principal of the high
school there. When Miss Smith was
forced to resign her position at Alex
andria she was told by the Board
of Education that they would grant
| her leaveaOf absence, holding her po-

Disabled Men
To Be Helped
GOVERNMENT MAKES PLANS
FOR MAKING SOLDIERS IN
DEPENDENT OF OTHERS

Any disabled soldier who has Sc
cured compensation from the Govern
ment, has The right to apply for voca-
tional training. Our country will
equip him to handle his old job, or a
new one if he prefers. Such training
has begun when he was in the hospi-
tai. After the soldier is discharged.
the Federal Board for Vocational
Training will help him choose The
work he wants to follow. A course of
training is then outlined, covering
from several months to four years.
Deaf soldiers will be given prelimin-
airy course in lip reading. Men with
artificial limbs will be laugh, use them
and become skilled in various trades.
So with the blind. Those who have
had high school or college training will
be able to take more advanced work,
law for instance. A soldier with some
special talent will be taught to make
use of it.
Men taking vocational training are
no longer members of the army The
Federal Board for a group of states
is made up of civilian, and the teach
ing is done in approved schools and
shops. But the discharged soldier con-
tinues to receive Government pay.
This, including his compensation. will
ordinarily be 65 per cents a month. If
he has family dependent on him, SO
more will be given, in addition to the
former Government allowance TUT
ton fees and travelling expenses are
met by the Government.

for a man after his training is COM
pleted. They will also try to place dis
abled mon who do wish training, in
work which they can do in spite of
their disability. But the chance for
Government training is too good for
any soldier to miss. Present high
wages are temptation to The return
ing soldier. But when wages went
down, the disabled man would be un-
able to competa with other workmen.
Through vocational training he has the
chance to overcome his handicap, and
greatly increase his earning power.

The Federal Board of Education is
extremely anxious that every disabled

some of these men may have been re-
turned to their homes without proper
record having been kept of their in
jures and their accompanying needs.
Disabled men or their relatives or
friends are therefore asked to send to

of these. men in order that .she Govern

Let us Be Fair
To Local Firm
REDWOOD FALLS ELECTRIC CUR
RENT RATE NOT HIGHER
THAN ELSEWHERE
(By w. H. Gold)

The old saying, "The Proof of the
pudding is IN the eating" can well be
applied to the local electric light pri-
ces of which there has recently been
some little discussion, and is readily
demontrated by a comparative stu
dy of the rates given to the citizens
of the neighboring city of Manka.o
and the rates IN use in Redwood Falls.
The maximum rate in Mankato is IL
cents per K. w.
The maximum rate in Redwood
Falls is Is cents per K. w.
On the face of it this is a severe in
justice 20 Redwood Falls but let us ex-
anime little closer and we find it is
not.
A Mankato citizen must use 800 K.
w. or $4,000 worth of current before
he gets the lower rate of IL cents. A
Redwood Falls citizen must use / IL
K. w. for each 80 Watt lamp installed
In his home or business place and he
then gets a reduced rate of 8 cents
for .he next 3 K. w. used. If he us
es over 1-2 X. w. per month he
gets the balance at 6 cents per X.
Now let us see what this is costing
the Redwood Falls citizen, taking The
rates paid by seventy-seven of the
principal users of current, list of
whom has been complied and may be
seen at any time. In this list we find
The above rate of Is cents maximum
as applied in Redwood Falls for the
month of December, 1913, amounts to
$707.05.
The Mankato rate of II cents max
imum applied to these same n Gus
toners on the Manka.o plan, would
cost $1033.64 clear saving of $326.59
to the Redwood Falls citizens for the
citizens of Redwood Falls.
The Redwood Falls business or mo-
tor rate. is cents a. Mankato it is
cents.
1t is only fair to the Redwood Falls
Company, when comparing prices and
rates with the lower rate quoted in
other localities, that the situation be
looked into thoroughly, and from the
viewpoint of ALL the consumers be-
fore a conclusion is reached
We find upon investigation, that the
average rate paid by all the current
users in Redwood Falls for the month
of December 1913 was cents per K.

have now turned to gold. The boys
represented by the gold stars are Les

Roosevelt was based upon an acquain-
lance with this great man, both Off
cially and in his everyday life, which
is more intimate that that which most
men had with him. His official ac-
quaintance with Roosevelt started with
his career as head of the police force
in New York, and his personal acquain-
lance harked back to the days of
Roosevelt's roughriding prowess in the
Dakotas.
Mr.. Eddy's talk was a thrilling and
inspiring plea for Americanization on
The great principles of which Theodore
Roosevelt was the exponent; the prin-
cipal of one country. one flag, one lam
guage, and one life. Briefly stated his
audience heard clear and emphatic

there is no room on American soil for

that the red flag shall be forever barr

lie schools for the teaching of any
language save American is to prove
false to a trust put upon us by our
forefathers; and that the foundation Of
the true American lifelies in the purity
and unity of the Home, founded on
the affection of one man for one wo-

State Should Help

Ramsey Park at Redwood Falls, one
of the beauty spots of the state has
not had any support from the state to
aid its upkeep for the past two years,
due to the governors veto, two years
ago, and now the citizens of that place
are asking the legislature to make a
small appropriation for maintenance.
Ramsey Park is a historical spot and
designated as one of the state parks
and it is a burning shame that the
town should be deprived of the neces-
sary funds to keep the park in proper
shape and the animals kept from
starving to death. For the last TWO
years the park has been supported
by popular subscription by Redwood
Falls citizens a thing they should not
be expected to do. The state should sup
port these beauty spots.-Sleepy Eye

find the matter of the relief of the

any individual or society can pay in

ficate of birth from the Mayor of the
