TWIN CITIES GREAT EXPOSITION.
Automobile, Truck, Tractor and In.
dustrial Exposition on January
81 to Feb. :.

Minneapolis. Jan. 15-Ten acres
of Florida with it's sunshine and
flowers and palm trees will be set
down in the heart Of a Minnesota
winter when the Twin City Automo-
bile, Truck, Tractor and Industrial
Exposition holds forth at the Over
land building, Midway, the week of
January 81 to Feb z.
The wizardry of the decorator who
is dressing up the interior of the
Overland building for the show is
responsible for the tropical aspect
that will delight the eye of the visit
or. More than 10000 electric lights,
great rows of potted plants, cut
flowers, smilax and ornate decora-
tons will combine to form the most
pleasing scheme of Identification
eyer seen in show place, the decor
ator promises.
And in this novel setting will be
found no less than five great shows
rolled in one. Passenger cars, COM
mercial cars, tractorst accessories
and industrial displays will make up
the contents of the five floors.
The management has been impress
sing upon prospective visitors the
fact that this exposition will afford
guest an opportunity impossible
anywhere else. Here, under one roof,
he may find dizzying array of ex-
hibits that could be viewed in no
other way, except by travelling
hundreds of miles, spending large
sum for expenses and giving up
weeks Of time. Even the other great
national shows have not this advant-
age, because they show no tractors
or tractor-drawn implements, nor do
they attempt showing OF industrial
products.
Although the opening day of the
show is more than two weeks in the
future, the management is assured
of the greatest patronage that ever
favored an automobile enterprise.
| Hotels of st. Paul and Minneapolis
will be packed the whole week and
the Minneapolis Civic and CONNER
cial association has listed available
room in both towns for the comfort
and convenience of the stranger with
in the gates.
There will be lots of music, plenty
of lights and dancing-everything to
cheer the visitor from the first to
the fifth floor. The carnival spirit
will be i'm the air all eight days OF
the show. The whole northwest
seems prepared to answer the mana
gement's invitation to Come on In"

Verdict Against Fayette County.

Or. G. D. Darnell of West Union
won damage suit against Fayette
county last week in Judge Taylor's
court at New Hampton, the jury
awarded the plaintiff $4,000 damages.
DIR. Darnell had sued for 1000 for
property damaged and personal in
jury sustained when bridge went
down with him and his team on
March 23, 1919. A like action is also
pending in which the plaintiff is Dr.
Darnell's driver, who also sues for
$4,000, but which will doubtless
now be settled. DR.. Darnell is rs
years of age and says he could have
earned from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year practicing medicine, but since
the accident cannot earn more than
half that amount because of his in
juries. A bob sled load of plank and
other material from the bridge was
taken to New Hampton and was put
mp in evidence.

New Wagon Factory at lansing.

view "dSOH TaCUufy AT Lansing.
The result of a meeting last week
of the Lansing Family" was action
looking to the incorporation of the
c. o. Rud wagon factory with capital
stock of $4,000, $4,000 of which
was subscribed for by those at the
meeting and the following day in a
few minutes of leisure time o. c.
Intelokfer secured enough to bring
the total up to $4,000, says the
Mirror, which adds:
Lansing has in the past enjoyed
no small notoriety as the home of
the Rud wagon. known throughout
the length and breadth of the land
as one of the best wagons ION
wheels" 1t is for the purpose of en-
larging the field for the sale of this
wagon that the preliminary steps
above outlined have been taken. Cal
mar has wagon factory producing
1000 complete wagons year. Lam
sing can do the same.
Here we have native timber in
plenty, our shipping facilities are
enhanced by the river. 1t is the in
tention to employ at once about 20
men and add to the number as cir
cumstances warrant. The facilities OF
the Rud factory now are such that
10O0 completed wagons may be turn
ed out the first year.-Waukon Re-

THE SPIRIT OF CRAFTSMANSHIP.
The Old Time Mechanic Seems to be
Lost to World.

When the industrial system passed
from the period of little groupes to
that of great organizations and
factories, certain spirit of crafts
nanship was>lost, and it is difficult
TO recover it.
Many people feel that the loss of
this spirit more than offsets the
gains that modern machinery brings
in. They look back to the old time
mechanic who worked by hand in
some little shop, and produced a
completed article, or at least an i'm
portant part of an article. Under
those conditions he took a great deal
Of pride in his work. Hc ACQUIRED
reputation for a high quality of
craftsmanship, and for the speed
which he could turn out a product
of fine workmanship.
To-day when the workman is but
a little cog in som vast mechanism,
it is hard for him to feel the same
Pride in his product, and the same
desire to make himself perfect in his
craft.
The conditions prevailing at the
present moment accentuate this tend
ercy. Labor is very scarce. People
feel almost too sure of their jobs.
They often think that if their work
is unsatisfactory, no one else can be
found to take their places, so they
are at liberty to do their task in a
mediocre way.
The great problem which the mod
ern producer has to solve, is how to
give the workers a personal interest
in tho thing they arc doing, pride
in the product they turn out, with
which they shall feel themselves
identified. The employer must find
some basis on which to stimulate the
legal interest OF every worker in his
product, so that everyone will feel
ambitious for the success of the bust
ness, and for a high range Of crafts
manship in the output. There must
be more intimate relation between
the employer and the worker, not
merely to avert social unrest, but to
stimulate that spirit of craftsman
slip without which work is a mere
deadening treadmill.

A Third Triumph.

If the Introductory list of Bruins.
wick Records is to set the pace for
the production of the House OF Bruins
wick, it means wonderful oppor-
trinity for Brunswick dealers. 1t is
we'll worth the wait of many months
necessary for the preparation.
The House of Brunswick has been
planning for some time to produce
its own records and il has spent sew
eral years of studying out the pos
sibilities of a different, better record.
To produce the ordinary was unthink
able.
So Brunswick Records go one step
further and include not only cele-
trated artists and favorite selections
but the talent of the artist is inter-
preted by noted directors, thus bring
ing a closer intimacy with the COM
loser.
Everyone who has heard Bruins
wick Records accord them instant
approval and predict a great SEN
sation.
Brunswick dealers are now oner-
ing the new selections and Bruns-
wick national advertising is asking
the public to judge Brunswick Re-
cords as Brunswick Photographs
were judged This means that peo-
nla ara invited IN hear and decide
fer themselves.
It is the general belief that the
House of Brunswick, which has had
such a phenomenal success with its
monograph. will score another
triumph in the introduction of Bruins
wick Records.

Ok Team and Little Red School
House.

An exchange says the little red
schoolhouse used to bring up better
children than we have today. 1t
would be just as logical to say that
the fashioned mills used to pro-
duee better -four than modern mills
and old time slaughter houses better
neat than modern packing plants.
The little red schoolhouse served a
good purpose in it's day. In like man

veloped better modes of transporta-

TEAM is DROWNED.
Driver Has Narrow Escape From
Same Fate.

Hamburg, la. A. Rogers who
has been farming an island in the
Missouri river nearly opposite Ham
burg lost a team of horses, wagon,
harness and load of corn in the
river yesterday. He had the habit of
driving back and forth on the ice
But yesterday, almost as soon as he
drove upon the ice, his wagon and
outfit and he, himself, disappeared
into the river.
After a hard fight Rogers manag-
ed to escape the ice and water but
could do nothing for his horses and
the whole outfit was swept away be-
meath the, ice.
Rogers did not understand the ma
ture of the crazy Missouri river.
Shallow today it may be very deep
tomorrow. This lack of knowledge
caused his misfortune.
