FOURTH MEMBER OF
WILSON'S CABINET
RESIGNS HIS POST

Washington, Sept. 5.-Secretary
of Commerce Radfeld today announ-
ced that he had resigned and expect
ed to quit his post the latter part OF
October.
personal affairs require my atten-
tion," said Mr.. Redfeld. august 1
7 wrote to President Wilson asking
relief October Is. Later when l
found he was going to be gone dur
ing September 1, offered to remain
two weeks longer" !
He told the president he wished to
finish the census organization, his
annual report and financial esti-
mates. These things have now been
accomplished. !
He emphatically denied reports
that he was miffed because his pet
plans" had not been adopted. He
said there has been no quarrel or dis !
agreement of any kind. u
Bernard NJ. Baruch, chairman of
the war industries board, is mention
ed in some quarters as a possible sue
cessor to Mr.. Redfeld, although it is
said Mr.. Baruch has refused other;
offers of official positions.
Reports of Mr.. Redfeld's alleged
dissatisfaction turned about the fact
that the war trade board had been
made a part of the state depart
ment instead of the commerce de-!
partment.
It was also rumored that he felt
that his reconstruction plans were
being disregarded when Rail Director
Hines refused to buy rails at the
price set by a board selected by Mr..
Redfeld. Following this the indus
trial board, which set the prices,
dissolved, and the next day Attor-
ney General Palmer declared its op-
erations were illegal under the
!c.I!ernan act.
Mr.. Redfeld has been a cabinet
member since President Wilson's
!e::..!s inauguration in 1913.

treaty foes He spoke with vigor::
and stuck out his jaw pounding on
the rail for emphasis.
"Those gentlemen are dreaming"
he declared. "They are living in q
past age which has gone and is all
but forgotten, when they say we
can mind our own business
With regard to Shantung Mr.
Wilson said he believes Japan will
fulfill her promise to restore the
sovereignty Of that province to
China.
If Article x of the league, which
guarantees members of the league
protection against external aggres-
sion, should be tampered with, the
president said he would feel like
telling the American soldiers Of the
world war that they had been be-
trayed, because they fought to end
war, and war was not ended.
In conclusion he solemnly warned
that failure of the treaty would mean
war, saying:
"There will come some time in the
vengeful providence of God another
struggle in which not few hundred
thousand fine men from America will
have to die, but as many millions as
are necessary to accomplish the final
freedom of the peoples of the
world"
The president. headed a parade
through the central thoroughfares
of the city at $50 o'clock this morn
ing and was given an ovation. When
he appeared on the rear platform
of the train at 9.25 o'clock thou
nds Of persons broke through the
military Gordon and surrounded the
presidential train.
Police, secret service men and
the military found it difficult to
control the crowd. The executive
smiled his appreciation. i
Thousands Of persons lined the
decorated streets as the parade
passed. A captive military dirigible
was suspended 10000 feet in the air
il the central section of the city.
After the column Of automobiles
circled the business section the
president and Mrs. Wilson departed
to hotel. i
A committee of women entertained

FORMER MADISON
YOUNG man dies
LAST SUNDAY AFTER
LONG ILLNESS

kilograms were received by rela-
tives in this city yesterday announc-
ing the death of Albert o. Dahl in a
sanitarium at Dunseith, N. D. The
remains will be brought to Madison
for burial, arriving probably Friday
morning.
Albert Dahl was the third son of
j. j. Dahl, of this city, born May IS,
1879, in Murray county, Mimi. He
was brought to Lake county by his
parents in 1880, the father taking up
a government land claim a few miles
southwest of the present city of Mad
ison. In this county he grew to
young manhood, obtaining his edu-
cation in the town schools and later
was employed as clerk both in the
stores of j. A. Johnson and ID. Nc
Kinnon. About eighteen years ago,
to take up the responsibilities of life
and better his condition, he wen to
North Dakota and took up govern
ment land in the northwest portion
of the state. The 500 railway line
coming through the section, he was
among the first to locate on the new
townsite of Plaza, where he acquired
town property and engaged In bust
ness. He always looked upon Mad
ison as his home and made frequent
visits here. Ten years ago last April
he was married to Miss Dorothy M.
Stahl, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. f.
Stahl, of this city, and they went to
Plaza to establish their home. He
was successful in his business under
takings and possessed himself of val
liable land neal his home town. Five
years ago he was appointed to the
position of postmaster of his home
town. Soon his health began failing
and it developed that tuberculosis
was undermining his constitution.
Two years ago he resigned his posi-.
ton and his wife was appointed to
complete the unexpired term. Since
that time he has made great effort
to regain his health, but gradually
failed until relieved by death.
Deceased is survived by his wife,
but no children; father, j. j. Dahl;
two brothers, Geo. Dahl, of Bryant
and Adolph, of this city; three sis
ters. Mrs. Wallace Burr. of this city
and Clara and Emma Dahl. the for
mer a resident of Minneapolis, and
the latter of this city.
The funeral will be held next Sun.

bic profits from poultry keeping
where careful management is

poultryman. who devotes only
part of his time to chicken rails
ing, kept $50 birds, which paid
him a profit over feed cost Of
more than $1,000, equivalent 10
$4 a bird. Included In this
amount are the sales of a few
eggs for Matching, about 80 cock
erels sold for breeding purposes
at $3.50 to IS each, as well as
, the market eggs. which were dis
posed of in large quantity. Mr..
Lowe keeps White Wyandottes

ring when judged according to
either the standard of perfec-
ton or a utility standard.

duced eggs as follows: Novem-

airy. 1919, 1926; March, 1919. 456;

According to a Food Administration bulletin arriving in the recent mails, the need fer food saving by the Amer ican people Is not in tho slightest de- gree dimnishc, by the signing of the Armistice. IT. fact, tl.ere is an even more imperative need for America to continue her humanitarian duty of supplying the famishing peoples of Europe than before the war was brought to an end. The signing of tke Armistice brought within reach starving millions long cut off by the German lines and German sumarines. America acted at once and raised her food pledge from 171S million tons to 20 million tons Within week after the Armistice was signed the first consignment of an emergency food order of over 100000 tons had been dispatched. Twenty Million tons" is Americas food pledge. Every ton of food that can be pushed through our ports must be shipped. for there is no real peace in sight until the European food situation is relieved.
