Editors Guests of Crosby

Two hundred editors of northern
Minnesota, with a sprinkling from
other parts of the state, were the
guests of Crosby, the capital of the
Guyana iron range, Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday, July 1918. And it may
be recorded here that every last man
Jack present at this outing of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial associa-
tion-of which A. G. Rutledge was, of
course, the efficient managers rea-
dy to testify that there is. no hospital
ty in the world anywhere that is sup
erior to that of the people of Crosby.
To adapt the words of a summer re-
sort proprietor in Wisconsin, Crosby
is where hospitality is a religion and
the chicken is born fried"
The fact is, such meetings bring the
men Of the editorial profession to-
getheT more closely than do the con-
ventions providing for the discussion
of craft problems. At these outings
men get together in small groups in a
more intimate way, and swap experi-
ences and ideas in manner that is al
ways profitable, consequently, some
thing ought to be done to make these
summer outings, planned and executed
by the Northern Minnesota associa-
ton, with Rutledge at the wheel, more
popular-state wide. 1t is up to the
editors from other parts of the state
to extend the profits of the event to
Northern association the next time
one is sent out. By so doing they will
help to extend the profits of the event
to every part of Minnesota.

His Dream About the Redwood County Fair

stirred the department of justice to
action is to the effect that in some
parts of the country public utilities
and other industries have been I'M
able to secure coal except at exorbi-
tant rates; that these rates range
from S12 to SIS ton; that coal COM
panies report their inability to sup
ply coal upon contract at the agreed
price, so that these consumers are
forced to buy spot coal in the open
market at robber prices. The cupid
ity of the operators is held response
BILE for these conditions by some; by
others it is charged to car shortage,
excessive exports curtailed production
and variety of reasons. Attorney
General Palmer has taken steps to
discover the actual reason underlying
it.
The operators advance what appears
to be a good alibi. They assert that
the average price of bituminous coal
at the mines is $3.50 to 81 and that
speculation and competitive bidding
by consumers who are forced to buy
at any price are responsible for the
fancy prices quoted The Spectator,
they allege, is the man who makes
the big profit, not they.
And it must be conceded that the
report of the Federal trade commits
sion, covering the bituminous coal in
dustry for the month of April, bears
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1920-08-18

out this statement. 1t shows from
returns of 812 operators reporting
that the average price of coal at the
mines was $500 ton and the average
cost of production 1915, giving the
operator an average gross profit of
so cents ton. Out of this so cents
must come other charges, such as sell
ing costs and interests, in order to ar.
rive at the net profit.
All of which emphasizes the neces-
sity of ascertaining accurately who is
responsible for the profiteering in
coal and of putting a stop to it at
once. If some one is Juggling the
distribution of cars so that a scarcity
of coal is created in certain localities;
or if operators are shipping to pre-
ferred customers profit; or if any 9TH
er chicanery is resorted to for boost
ing prices, the department of justice
should lay the heavy hand of the Ia

How 1t Feels to Fly.

Everyone who flies or who has ever
fIown-from the test pilot with 1000
hours in the air to his credit down to
the novice who has just completed his
first ten-minute hop as passenger
has been besieged by inquiring
friends and acquaintances, to say
nothing of merely curious strangers,
with bromide questions as to how it
really feels, what it is like "up there, /"
and what are the sensations expert
enced by the aerial traveller.
At the risk of dispelling some wide

plane does not feel like anything
whatsoever. If a parallel be absolute
ly demanded, flying can best be COM
pared to sitting in a chair on perfect
ly firm ground behind a stone wall
while an eighty mile-an-hour gale
blows into that portion of the face
which projects above the top of the
wall. There is no feeling of move
ment, none of unsteadiness. Above
all there is no sensation of falling.
Within two minutes of the time of
taking off" the ground has dropped
so far below that objects on it seem
to move backwards at the pace of a
snail; and it is almost impossible for
the passengers on the airplane to be-
lieve that they are actually travelling
through the air at from sixty to a
hundred and twenty miles an hour.
But there is no monotony about fly
ing except in still or steadily moving
air. When rents, making the air, as

BOYS WIN OVER

It is estimated that only 8 per cent
of the cattle in the United States are
registered, and experts say that an in
crease of 2 per cent accomplished in
from 5 to 10 years is a mark well
worth aiming at.
Out in Ustick, near Boise City, the
boys have shattered this record, &C
cording to a report brought in by a
United States Department of Agri-

tied the community. These boys, act
