Hard Coal Output
Declared Record
11,Sl5, 900 NET TONS MINED IN
WEEK-LAKE PORT MOVE
MENT FALLS. -

All records for 1920 in the produc-
ton of bituninous coal were broken
in the week ending Sept. 25, according
to the geological survey. The total
output for the week was II ,815 900 net
tons. -.
Production a working day was l.
100000 tons, the highest with one ex-
ception, since last January, the excep-
ton being the five day week of Labor
day.
The figures indicate that rapid pro-
gress is being made toward caring: for
the coal situation of the coming win
ter. While 1920 is about 13,500,000
tons behind 1917 and little over A,
100000 tons behind 1918, it is $780,
900 tons ahead of 1919.
Despite the favorable production
figures, the movement of coal from
Lake Erie ports by water to the north
west fell off sharply during the week.
Bituminous coal dumped at Lake Erie
ports was reported as 888,993 tons.
This was 118,840 tons, or II per cent
less than during the preceding week.
The cumulative lake movement from
the opening of the season new stands
at 14,866,000 tons, as against 18,448,-
900 in 1919.

Dodges Didn't Drop!

Official confirmation of press dis
patches from Detroit, announcing
that there would be no reduction in
the price of Dodge Brothers Motor
Cars, has been received by J. K. Lam
berton the Dodge Brothers dealer in
this city. A telegram from C. w
Matheson, acting general sales man
ager to the local dealer, reads:
Dodge Brothers policy has ever
been to give full value for the price
asked There will be no reduction in
the present prices of Dodge Brothers
motor cars. Newspaper reports to the
contrary are absolutely untrue"
dodge Brothers announcement was
no surprise to u.s. said Mr.. Lamber-
ton. "In fact it is only a substantial
ton of Dodge Brothers business prin-
ciples. At no time have they demand
ed an excess amount for their pro-
duct AS in the past, they will con-
tinue in the future to demand a fair
return for their efforts"
s'The mere fact that the demand for
Dodge Brothers motor ears is still
greater than the supply, despite the
great expansion program at the fac
tory, has absolutely nothing to do with
the decision to continue the present
prices. In marketing their car Dodge
Brothers have never made point of
price and will never sacrifice the quail
ty of their product to enter price COM

When C. F. Bucek of Elysian town.
ship, LIE Sueur county, was ready to
sell his wool clip this year-he had
a total of 81 pounds-the buyers were
offering only Is cents pound. With
wooden goods of all kinds high in price,
Mr.. Bucek felt there was profiteering
somewhere, Accordingly, says the
county agent of LIE Sueur county, in
his report to the state leader at Uni
versity farm, Mr.. Bucek got in touch
with firm in Mankato who offered
to make his wool into whatever ma
terial he wished. He gave his order
and now has received one double blan-
ket, one auto robe, Is yards of fine
CLOTH. for shirts and warm clothing for
his children this winter, and three
pairs of socks, all made from wool
from the backs of his own sheep. At
the present time double wool blanket
is selling for $24 and an auto robe for
about the same sum. The firm that
made up the articles valued them at
$72. The cost to Bucek, including ship
ping charges both ways, was $50.

Offer
Gift to Legion
X. C.'s WOULD HELP LEGION
ERECT SPLENDID MEMORIAL
TO SOLDIERS DEAD.

The board Of directors of the
knights of Columbus Sunday voted to
offer the American Legion $5,000,O0O
for the purpose of erecting memorial
building in Washington.
The building, which would be in
memory of the Americans who died
in the war, would contain auditorium
seating 10000, quarters for the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars, the G. A. R. the
Spanish War Veterans and similar
societies. Ownership of the structure
would be vested in the American Le-
gion and it would be governed by a
board of directors. Of the fund of
fered, s1,O00,OOO would be used
an endowment for upkeep of the build
ing.
The $5,O00,O00 represents the bal
ance of the $4O,OOO,OO0 collected by
the knights of Columbus for war pur-
poses and will not be taken from the
fund with which the organization
plans to continue it's national work.
Colonel Galbraith, head of the legion,
in New York within few days to
make the proposition to him, but he
has not yet been informed of the pro-
posed gift.
Symbol of Sacrifice.
In the statement making public the
offer the Knights of Columbus says:
"The building will be memorial to
our hero dead for their parents and
other relatives and an inspiration to
the living and to future generations
who will see in it a symbol of the
sacrifices Of these dead and find in it
an incentive to serve their country as
unselfishly in the future.
'The building is to be patterned
after the civic auditorium in San Fran
cisco and to promote permanent in
terest in the army and navy. It's au-
ditoriums and halls are to be used for
nublic gatherings as free as is prac-
ticable.
Open Until July 1, 1921.
"a suitable site must be obtained
preferably by act of Congress.
'The offer is open to the American
Legion until July /, 1921.
eff the Legion accepts this offer
and then, by any chance the Legion
should cease to exist, title to this
building and the land shall revert to
the nation for such use as the United
States Senate shall determine"

County Fair Good
in Spite of Cold
THURSDAY BRINGS RECORD
BREAKING CROWD; OTHER
DAYS LIGHT.

Redwood County Fair closed Friday
night after five days, only two of
which were warm enough to, permit
of real enjoyment of the many good
things offered. Thursday the crowd
was-variously estimated at from thir-
teen to fifteen thousand people but
was very much less than the ordinary
crowd on the other days. A fair-sized
crowd was in attendance on Friday.
However, in spite of cool weather, the
receipts were sufficient to pay all ex-
Henses with slight surplus. Had the
Aaveather been at all pleasant the ad-
missions would have exceeded any
thing ever known in. the past, accord
ing to all indications.
In all lines the exhibits were ex-
ceptionally good; hogs especially at
tracted attention both for the num-
bers in which they were shown and
for their excellent quantity. There

Attorney General
Angry at Cox
POSTMASTER GENERAL BURLE-
SON DECLARED ALSO MIFFED
AND OUT OF ACTION.

Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal
mer is sulking in his political tent
and has Cancelled his speaking engage
the presidential campaign. ~
The attorney generals pique was
aroused when Governor Cox told a
crowd of miners last week that he did
not approve of every thing the depart
ment of justice had done, particularly
with reference to it's attitude toward
labor. Governor Cox said the same
thing about Postmaster General AL
bert S. Burleson's administration, and
there are we'll defined rumors that Mr..
Burleson also is determined upon a
policy of inaction for the remainder
of the national campaign.
Attorney General Palmer is not say
ing anything about his cancellation of
speaking dates, but it is known that
he let Governor Cox know what he
thought about the sighting remarks
made by the democratic presidential
nominee to ward his administration.
This was one of the reasons for the
recent visit of E. H. Moore, Cox's
chief advisor, to Washington, this
week. Mr.. Moore made repeated eff
forts to induce Mr.. Palmer to consider
his withdrawal from campaign activi-
ties, without avail. Mr. Moore sought
the aid of the White House in this eff
fort, but it did no good.
The attorney general, it is said, will
make some speeches for congressional
candidates, but for Governor Cox he
will do nothing more. The postmaster
general, his friends say, is going to
keep still.

=. Horn Accepts
Call to Fairm0nt
PASTOR OF LOCAL CHURCH TO
LEAVE AFTER THREE YEARS
SUCCESSFUL WORK.

DR.. E. C. Horn who has been the
pastor of the Redwood Falls Methodist
Church for the past three years, has
accepted a call to the Methodist
Church at Fairmont and will leave
for his new work there within the
next few weeks. His place will be
taken by Rev. B. L. Main of Pipestone.
This decision was reached at the con-
ference held at Albert Lea last week.
The removal of DR.. and Mrs. Horn
from Redwood Falls comes as mat
ter of regret to their large circle of
friends here. During their residence
here they have become widely known
in the city and vicinity as well as
among their own parishioners, and
they will be keenly missed in both
church and social circles. During Dr..
Horns tenure here he has done much
in the way of community and church
organization along new lines and q
need for similar work at Fairmont Is

tanning three hundred sixty single
animals. Most of them were pure
breds of the approved breeds and were
shown by hog raisers from Renville,
Redwood and Brown Counties. The
cattle exhibit was not so heavy as was
i Expected, one or two fine herds that
had been pledged not putting in an
appearance. Horses were very few in
number. Grains, corn and vegetables
exceeded all former years and the
most of the other departments of the
main exhibit building were we'll filled.
A complete list of premium winners
will be published within short time.
Special exhibits were better than
ever before, several out of town peo-
pie coming in this year for the first
time. Among these were the Farmers
Elevator of Milroy which demonstrat-
ed a truck, H. o. Knutson of Belview
who exhibited small thresher, and
Reuben Potter of Springfield who ex-
hibited an ensilage cutter and blower
which was greatly admired by the
farmers. The other exhibitors of
household and farm equipment were
all dealers of Redwood Falls and their
exhibits covered wide range. New
automobiles were also very much in
evidence and several fine lines were
shown.
Races and free attractions were
good and racing programs being es-
pecially attractive, and the various

Chester Whites Shown.

Among the many splendid herds OF
purebred hogs of various breeds at the
Redwood County Fair, the Chester
White herds of A. P. Rams of Sun
down township and VIM. Green of
Morgan were greatly admired. There
were six herds of this breed in COM
petition but Mr.. Rams and Mr.. Green
went home well satisfied with the
showing their respective herds made.
Mr.. Rams display consisted of nine
pens and Mr.. Green's of five.
Mr.. Rams showing took the grand
champion for boar, eight first prizes,
six second prizes and three thirds. Mr.
Green's showing took the grand cham
pion on sow, six firsts, one second and
one third His winnings for the sea-
son have been twenty-nine ribbons in
all, he having shown at the state fair
and at the Brown County fair before
coming to Redwood County. Mr..
Green's farm is known as the Airedale
Farm and while he has only been a
raiser of Chester Whites for a short
time, his farm has already a reputa-
ton for splendid stock.
One of Mr.. Rams best sires was pur-
chased by w. G.. Collins Of Redwood

herd he is just starting. This animal
took second in the aged boar class at
