The annual Red Lake Indian
Fair will be held at Red Lake, on
the Red Lake reservation, Mime

this month. The fair this year
promises to be bigger and better

spared no time or expense in their
efforts to make the Red Lake In

event of it's kind ever held in this
section of the country and 1t is
anticipated that thousands from

POLLS.
SLUMP ON HOG MARKET REPOR-
TED FROM CHICAGO ON
FRIDAY. Ill.,. ..

Present indications are that the near
future will bring some relief to the house
wife's pocketbook. Reductions of the
high cost of living may be anticipated
if the present tendency of the hog and
flour market continues for while. Re-
ports from the trade centers in these
commodities tell of a considerable slump
in prices. .
Flour dropped fifty cents per barrel
in Minneapolis on Thursday, February
5, owing to collapse in foreign exchange
and fall in the wheat prices. Mankato
reports a drop of fifteen cents in -four,
fifty pound sacks, on the same day.
Slump On Hog Market.
The slump on the Chicago hog market
which took place on Thursday Feb
ruary 5, had been brewing for the past
sixty days, Chicago dealers declared,
according to reports from the Windy
City. Overseas buyers realized two
months ago their inability to finance
their purchases in this county, Chicago
packing company official said. And
there has been no new business in pork
or pork products since that time. All
export shipments now being made are
on old contracts.
The result of this condition, which
has been accentuated by more recent
drastic drops in exchange rates, is an
accumulation of pork products here
which cannot be entirely absorbed by
domestic demand, he said. Prices to
the retailer, consequently, have dropped
and will drop further, he said. The
natural effect of the situation, he add
ed, will be a general. drop in the cost
of living.
Optimistic In Washington.
Reduction of the high cost of living
within very short time, if the foreign
exchange continues to drop, was predic-
ted by government officials in Washing
ton on Thursday. Exports to large
extent will be stopped and the goods
will be dumped on the American mar
kets. This, will tend eventually to re-
duce prices here materially, officials
said.
Drop In Mankato. =.

cents in Mankato last Friday Hogs
