Luther Lost to St. Mary.

Luther lost its last football game
of the season on the local grounds
on Thanksgiving day to st. Mary's
College, of Winona, by score of
10 to 6. 1t was bad day for foot
ball, the weather was cold, and snow
had covered the ground, making the
field heavy and slippery. The ball al
so became wet and hard to handle,
resulting in a great deal Of fumbling.
Outside of that it can easily be said
that Luther played one of the best
games of the season, continually
holding her opponents for downs on
the defense and offense, making lone
gains. But with the breaks in st
in st. Mary's favor Luther Went
down to defeat, although throughout
they easily played the better game OF
the two teams.

A quartette rendered an approp-
riate song, and an enjoyable solo
was rendered by Miss Aimee Till

as POSTMASTER stated the object of
the anniversary. His opening re-
marks were on bolshelvism and the
dangerous situation the country is

The Farm Census.

Wallaces' Farmer: Beginning Jan
uary l, 1920, census enumerators will
be collecting statistics for the four
teenth decennial census. The chief
stastician of the bureau spent a good
deal of time the past summer in pre-
pairing the agricultural blank 1t calls
for great mass of information
which must be furnished by the in
dividual farmer. To furnish this in
formation accurately will be a real
task; for it includes statistics which
few farmers are in the habit of keep
ing, either in their heads or in their
books. And yet 1t is highly import
ant that this agricultural census be
as accurate as it can possibly be
made. In many respects, this is a
matter of more Importance to the far
mer himself than to anyone else.
There has been too much guess work
on farm matters, and especially on
farm production and numbers of live
stock.
If the farmer is to furnish this re-
liable information, he ought to begin
as soon as possible to get it in shape.
To help him do this, Mr.. w. l.. Ausin,
the chief statistican, has had printed
fifteen million copies of the agricul-
tural schedule, and he is willing to
send a copy to any farmer as soon as
he asks for it. We urge our readers
to write to Mr.. Austin at once, adj
dressing him at the Census Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., and ask him to
kindly forward the agricultural
schedule. When this is received, go
at it and dig out the information,
answer each question accurately and
jot it down on the blank. This blank
is not to be sent in to the Census
Bureau. Fill it out, hold it until the
census enumerator makes his call,
and use it for reference when ans
wering the questions he asks.

Japan Again Buying
American Steel
Large Orders Placed for Rails.
Cars, Galvanized Wire
and Tin Plate

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-Ameri-
can Steel is moving Japan-ward again.
The reason for this, according to O.
japanese newspaper published here. is
that the high cost stock of steel accu-
mulated in Japan during the war period
has been slowly but steadily digested.
And the demand for steel, which
doubled almost to the vanishing point
with the coming Of the armistice, has
come to life again with the revival of
trade in all directions.
Inquiries from Japan have been
brisk of late for American steel
products of various types. A short time
ago orders for 500 tons of 4o-pound
and 700 tons of 50-pound rail were
placed at New York. About 10 900 tons
OF rails were just shipped out of the
country on previous orders. About
10000 tons more are also contracted
tor. In addition, there are about 900
steel cars, $50 tons of galvanized wire
zoo tons of copper and about 5000
cases of tinplates and SO on to be
shipped to Japan in the near future.

Leather
Big Sales of Trunks and
Bags for Vacation
Trauelling

Warm weather and the approach of
the vacation season have resulted in a
marked development in the retail sale
Of suitcases, travelling bags and
trunks. Many of the larger dealers
are having difficulty obtaining suf-
ticient merchandise from the manu-
facturers to supply the requirements
of their trade. Labor shortage and the
inability to get new stocks of high
grade leather have been holding back
production at the factories. 1t is said
that some concerns are several months
behind on deliveries and are limiting
the amount of business now being ac-
cepted.
All grades of leather luggage are
being sold by the retailers, with the
biggest demand covering the better
class of goods. Small trunks are being
bought in larger quantities than ever
before at this time Of the year, it is
said, and some dealers report they are
practically clear of this stock. Be-
tailers with establishments in sections
close to rehabilitation camps have
done an unusually large business in
small hand luggage carriers, and are
constantly coming into the market for
additional supplies,

Western Jobbers Send il,
Numerous Orders for
BIeached Goods

bleached goods concerns willing TO
accept business reported yesterday that
they had received numerous orders by
telegraph from Western jobbers, but
most Of the other branches of the cot
ton goods trade seemed to be "mar>-
Ing time" Transactions IN gray or
unoleached fabrics were on small
scale, most Of the business being be-
tween converters who seek an oppor-
unity to secure profits by disposing Of
their holdings.

Parment stores were in the sales

ma'er'als, marquisettes, scrims and

sersative policy in making sales for
distant delivery.

Metals
Fiirn,er Tendency in Cop.
per Markets Stimulates
the Demand

A stage has been reached in the cop
per market, it developed yesterday
where consumers of the metal who will
need large amounts of metal later but
who have been holding out in the hope
of obtaining their supplies cheaper,
are becoming nervous and are consd-
ering the advisability of covering a
portion Of their future requirements
around present price levels.
These consuming interests do not
need the copper at present but are said
to have become convinced that bottom
prices have been seen and view the
present rising price tendency with
some apprehension.
The Anaconda Copper Company, the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany, and Phelps, Dodge g. Co., the
three biggest producing and selling in
tercsts in the United States, quoted
1S cents pound for copper yesterday
for August delivery. Some business
was done on that basis.
Copper metal for immediate delivery
is quoted by the same interests at 171A
to 17M cents. Copper sheets have been
advanced a cent Il pound to 24.25
cents +. o. b. mill for hot rolled and
1925 cents for cold rolled.
Labor trouble at the Ansonia plant
of the American Brass Company, where
5000 men have gone out on strike, is
not expected to have more than a tenn
porary effect on consumption of cop
per, although this company is one Of
the largest consumers of the metal.

Goods From the Mills
Move Off Jobbers'
SheIues Quickly

Dress silks and fabrics suitable for
making mems shirts were bought in
considerable volume yesterday by out
of-town retail dealers and jobbers.
Local dealers operated on a limited
scale. Nearly all Of the business went
to the large jobbers who had the fore
sight to buy goods in liberal quantities
while prices were relatively low. Con-
signments from the mills are not per-
mitted to rest long on the shelves Of
the jobbing houses, most of which, it is
said, are carrying so per cent less
merchandise at present than they held
at this time in former years.
Complaints about the mills being
backward in making shipments were
general. Representatives of the pro-
ducers stated that the attitude of their
weavers was such that full operations
on one day were followed by loss of 80
per cent the succeeding day. 1t was
asserted that the weavers,, in addition
to taking holidays, were shifting from
one job to another at great rate.
Dyers have increased their prices for
dyeing plain materials 10 per cent,
while advancing the cost of their work
on printed goods Is per cent.

eral weeks ago borrowing on accep-

which gave high satisfaction, but it
was soon discovered that the borrowing
demands of business had risen at a
time when the buying demands of
banks were falling. The steady in

embarrassing. Practically all New
York banks have been out of the mar
ket for acceptances for the past three
days. Nearly all of what little bust
ness there is is done in the country.
There has recently been some ac-
tivity in trade acceptances. Some 80
