carry on their great campaign for


right"
Thomas Van Lear, former mayor OF
Minneapolis, delivered the closing ad-
dress Of the day. Mayor Van Lear's
remarks were cut short by the rain
which came up late in the afternoon.
His remarks were much the same as
Sullivans an arraignment of capital for
the wrongs which the farmers and
laborers have suffered. He traced the
labor movement from It's beginning,
related the hardships experienced In
organizing and solidifying 1t into a
great force and declared that even
today the moment labor asserted
its rights and legislated In its own
behalf ''it became dangerous, to the
interests of capital and the rich" He
cited the Winnipeg and Seattle
strikes as example Of this fact.
Wants EN- to Stick.
Nothing in Minnesota can stop the
forces of labor and the .Nonpartisan
league If they unite their forces and
stick together" declared Van Lear.
Their interests are in common and
they should form mighty organiza
tion. l can see liberty and right in
this movement, can see freedom for
Minnesota for during the past two
years we have had just as great an
autocrat in Minnesota as there ever
was in Russia" .
Turning to the labor and price
scale of today the speaker declared
that the purchasing power of dollar
was not as great today as it was three
or four years ago. Men earning SIS a
day now are not as well paid in re-
atty, he contended, as the man who
received but 81 day in. the past. He
went into lengthy discussion of
wage and price scales of today and
of the past, comparing the two.
Criticised Business Men,
Mankato businessmen came in for
a severe grilling from Van Lear for
having permitted Nonpartisan ban
nnrs to be torn from cars of Nonpar-
i.ans as they passed through this
city. He declared that businessmen
would and should see cause to regret
this act. That farmers should be
welcomed to the city was his conten-
tion, arguing that the businessman
was directly dependent upon the
farmer.
Farmer and labor interests, he
stated, were now so interviewer and
so common to both that it was logical
they should combine forces for their
mutual welfare and he advocated the
strongest support of the party in the
coming state election
While the speaking was going on
local leaders of the farmer laborites
were busy passing the hat" to raise
enough to pay the musicians who
furnished music for the event. 1t is
said the dollars clinked, merrily. 1t
was all for the 'good Of the cause"

WHEAT SOLD AT $2.7O
First Car OF 1919 Grain In the Min
neapoIis Market.


Minneapolis, July 29.-Sale of the
first car of 1918 wheat nj the Mime
apolis market of yesterday for $2.70
a bushel-47 cents oyer the govern
ment guarantee price-was indicative,
grain dealers said, that the average
sale price of the new crop here will
be good margin above the deslg-
mated price to farmers.
The Washburn Crosby company
bought IT, first car of wheat through
the Mari cid Grain company. The grain
graded No. 8 Northern Spring, tested
561k pounds to the bushel and showed
z per cent damage from blight. 1t
was shipped to Minneapolis from
Waterville, MINI. y
Grain men said that the price was
normal, considering the demand that
exists for the new wheat. Because of
crop damage, they expect the prices to
remain higher than was predicted sew
eral weeks ago when the bumper crop
was forecasted.

Want GAME PRESERVE
HUNTERS WOULD THUS DE-
VOTE PORTION SWAN la AXE
This Was Decided At Meeting
Held At NicoIletasY esteTday
Afternoon

Sportsmen from Mankato, st. Peter,
New Ulm and adjoining cities gath
cred at Nicollct yesterday afternoon
for discussion of game projects an
the vicinity. The meeting was held
in the park at Nicollet and between
thirty five and forty men were pres
emf. @
One of the most important mat
tiers taken up was the drawing up OF
a petition asking Governor j. A. A.
Burnquist to set aside some 700 water
acres of Swan Lake as state game
preserve. This morning sportsmen
were to take the matter up with the
governor and future action relative
to this will depend on his decision
relative to the matter. All the
sportsmen present signed the petition
asldng for the game preserve.
Make Game Preserve.
The sportsmen, it was explained,
could go ahead and make a
game preserve of the lake but they
would have to have the land adjoin-
ing it also while the governor is
vested with the authority to set aside
water areas as state preserves in
cases like that affecting Swan Lake.
Harry LalDue of st. Paul attended
the meeting and when he went home
last evening he took a number Of
crappies from Washington Lake to
have them examined by the state au-
thorities. It appears that thousands
of young crappies, half grown, are
dying in the lake. Great areas of
the water are to be found floating full
of fish. dying or dead. 1t is not known
what causes the crappies to die. The
theory has been advanced that some
one has been dynaTiting in the lake
but it would not have been possible,
sportsmen say, for as many to have
been affected by the blast as are now
floating on the lake. i'

Demonstrating Road
Material Here

The Chamber of Commerce
yesterday heard the arguments
of the Barrett Company of New
Orleans, manufacturers of Tar
via, a street finishing material,
and this morning the claims of
the Texas Portland Cement Co.
for recognition were heard.
Mr.-Cope, representing the
Tarvia products, declares that
the present street base can be
used with his material, and that
with a curbing and three layers
Of shell and Tarvia will produce
a street that will last a life time
with the proper up-keep.
Mr.. R. E. Lay, representing the
cement company, recommends
concrete streets. Both gentle
men expect to appear before the
council to present their claims
when the street question is tax

DR.. de Gravelles Injured by
Runaway Horse On
Railroad Avenue
Yesterday
Believes Bad Luck "Jink" Foil
Him About. Wears Card
Explaining Nature of Ac-
cident

DR.. C. C. deGravelles is becom-
ing more and more imbued with
the thought that he is being fol-
lowed by a hard-luck "jinx," and
well might he think so, for ac-
cidents have been coming his
way quite regularly. Some
weeks ago the doctor suffered a
wrenched back from a fall, caus-
ing him to go to the Touro in
New Orleans for treatment. And
now he is going about town with
a broken nose, a bruised hand
and arm and sundry other indi-
cations of misfortune. To avoid
talking himself to death, the
doctor has had a hard printed,
telling of the arcident.
This card mentions that the
doctor was on his way to Avoca
to answer a call, when boo!
something frightened his horse
and the steed started to run
away, kicking and jumping for
all he was worth. The doc does
not say whether the horse was
frightened by the holes on Rail-
road Avenue or not. Many have
advanced this theory, while
others claim that the horse was
really frightened when he beheld
the improvements being made on
this street land not believing
such possible he thought he was
seeing things and chased away.
But that is not the point-Dr.
deGravelles attempted to leap
from the vehicle and fell on his
nose, biff! just like that. The
buggy rolled over his hand and
arm, inflicting bad wounds.
And so the doctor is begin
ming to think that he has a
"Jonah,' and do you wonder?

KEPT TRADITIONS OF ARMY
British Government Made Wise Move
When 1t Refused to Create New
Regiments.

It was a wise decision on the part
of the British government to create
no new regiments when they entered
the great war. Instead, the number
of battalions in existing regiments
was increased. Many of these regi-
ments were very old, and about them
hung the traditions Of glorious past.
In uniting himself to such a body as
the Royal Scots. the Welsh Fusilier
or the Black Watch. as the case might
be, a man unconsciously lost the
sharpness of his own individuality In
the eager desire to conform to the
traditional characteristics Of great
company. He was, in a way, no
longer John Doe or Richard Roe, but
the Royal Scots. the Welsh Fusliers
guardian of the usages of an age-old
organization, exemplar Of its soldier
ly conduct. Proud of his regiment, he
was taught to prove his pride in his
manner and dress.
It was with the view Of emphasiz-
ing every detail of this pride that

to replace the bronze buttons of uni
forms with buttons Of brass, which
the soldiers are required to polish
daily. Even in the trenches officers
and men must shave daily, and when,
after week Of hard fighting and
sometimes short rations, the remnant
of battalion is relieved, it is required
to march at attention with parade
ground precision, as it leaves the
trenches for it's holiday rest in the
rear. 1t is this rigid subsection to
every detail that has in part made
possible the heroic stand that British
troops have made against a more
numerous foe. Their lines bent back,
but they did not break; they lost bit
by bit the ground they fought over, but
never their fighting spirit, their cohe-
siveness, their esprit de corps.-Cen-
tury.
