A protest against the State
Fair being held on Sunday. also.
this year, was sent in by the con-
gregation of the Bruno Presby-
terrain church. also by the Pine
County Sunday school conven-
ton assembled last week. If you
are interested in having the
Lords day observed and the
state laws of Minnesota enforced
wire our governor or Mr.. Can
field of st. Paul. 1t seems a
shame to have our state make
laws and break them itself. 1t
seems that the state as we'll as
a few of our towns are going
mad over amusements when the
six days are not enough for fairs
and for dances. 1t seems any
place that allows Sunday dances
and celebrations is not only low
ering the standard of their COM
munity and turning from God,
but are also disobeying the laws
of the state.

EMBARGO AGAINST
ALL SPECULATION
Federal Reserve Board Takes
Radical Steps to Check
Credit Initiation
SITUATION WELL IN HAND

Reckless and cxtravagant speculation
IN securities and commodities must
cease. This is virtually the utimatum
declared by the Federal Reserve Board
following an important conference held
yesterday in New York between mem
bers of that body and number of
lending banking officials.
Governor w. p. G. Harding. of the
Federal Reserve Board. declared nftcr
the conference that there was nothing
alarming in the situation. and he did
not think that any immediate further
action was contemplated Tie said that
the liquidation Of banking loans is pro
cceding satisfactorily and that the en-
tire situation is well in hand
The conference was prompted by rca
son of the acute money market Situa
tion arising out of the huge expansion
OF loans. the outcome of the wild spec
ulation all over the couutry in securi
ties, cotton. oil lands real estate and
commodities.
For long time people have had the
impression that the resources of the
Federal Reserve system were virtually
limitless. and there would bo no trouble
IN securing all the credit required.
This was true for a while. but it ap-
pears to be overlooked that the war has
eAtTtlSpU lTtInenupUS urHln upon tnp
country's credit supply during the last
two or three years. The Federal Re
serve Banks have lent their credit for
this purpose to the tune of nearly S3 =
600. 1000. 900
The situation had reached such a
serious stage that something radical
must be done and at the close of yes
terday's conference Governor Harding
made this clear:
First. That speculation either for
the long or short account is to be
curbed.
Second. That speculation has a bad
effect on the entire country.
Third. That speculation has led to
much unrest
Fourth. That uneasiness as to the
credit situation will disappear with a
reduction in speculative activity
I Fifth, That the best remedy is a
quieter market.
Sixth. That bullish activity can be
checked by high money rates.
Seventh. That investment buying
based on intrinsic values should check
abrupt declines except in the case of
inflated issues.

BUSINESS NOTES

Offerings Of 6,50O, 900 pounds OF
South American combing aud 3.2OO, 900
pounds of South American carding
wools featured the sale in Boston of
government wool holdings.
while there promises 10 he no en-
cess stocks of high grade silk hose for
some time, it is said that the coming
spring and summer would see an es-
pecially marked shortage of women $
socks.
One Of the principal reasons why
cheap goods are not used at present in
the manufacturing of clothing is to be
found, according to n manufacturer, in
the high cost of manufacture.
Even those articles for which Ger.
many was world famous are now being
sold by American. manufacturers to
customers in South America. A large
preliminary order placed mt the Bush
Terminal sales building in New York
called for variety of kitchen utensils.
toys (and hosiery. The kitchen ware
sold twas of the enameled variety and
Included virtually every article used in
that part of the household.
Prices Of Canton raw silks continue
to maintain their advancing tendency
and are being sought in greater guam
titles than ever. The new style of reel
ing silk in China. So that it can bc
used on American machinery. is broad
ening the field for this silk.
When plans at present in a prelimi.
nary state will have matured it is ex-
pected that another chnin of stores will
be established throughout the United
States. The chain. it is said. will be
operated by the Winchester Repeating
Arms Co., and the stores reported to
be in state of formation will carry
line of sporting goods and accessories
and wearing apparel for sports pur
poses.
In discussing prices for mems cloth
ing for next spring the representative
of a leading house stated that values
!, will about approximate those of the
= late fall merchandise. He explained that
the retailers who have come into the
4 market with further orders of heavy
weight goods have had to boost their
prices quite a bit in order to meet the
replacement cost. These increases have
not always been confined to new pur-
chases but have been extended to stocks
in general, so that as rule retail goods
mt present are on the new basis of cost.
This basis is approximately the same
ns that which will prevail during the
early buying of spring merchandise.
Demand for cotton yarns is beginning
to waver and prices show the influence
of the contraction. While no declines
are reported. the price increases were
fewer than had been expected. No
single section of the list. with the pos
sibie exception of northern spun carded
zones, has received anywhere near the
support witnessed in recent weeks.
Bullish brokers blame it on labor and
point out that prices. high as they
are apparently, mean less to manufnc-
turers at present than at any time in
the history of the textile industry.

LONDON STOCK MARKET
Business Flattens Owing to Fears of
Further Rise Ln Money Rates

London. Nov. 12.-Fears of n fur
ther rise in the minimum rate of dis

the Stock Exchange markets to flatten
