G. M. STEWART OPENS NEW
r. C. u. OFFICE IN NEW YORK

To facilitate the work and to broad
en- the work of that already large and
steadily growing organization, the
Retailers Commercial Union, its Of
fcers have decided to open an Office
in New York City. This office will
direct the buying from the great
Eastern factories and importers, and
will be one of the most important
factors in the operation of this inn
mensa concern. The responsibilities
of its management will be great.
In recognition of his successful eff
forts as one of the original organic
ers of the r. G. u. and the enterprise
and talent which he has consistently
shown as buyer and as director, the
organization has complimented Mr.
Geo. NJ. Stewart, of the Stewart Mer-
camille Co. of this city, by choosing
him to open the New York Office and
to organized it's work Mr.. Stewart
left Sunday to commence his new du-
ties.
This does not mean that Mr.. Stew
art has in any way severed his con-
nection with the Stewart Mercantile
Co. of this city. He retains his inter-
ests here, and will probably return in
few months to take charge as be-
fore. The new position will enable him
to keep in first-hand touch with the
market, a fact that will prove of the
greatest benefit to the local store and
its patrons.
The many friends of Mr.. Stewart
are pleased to note this deserved and
well earned recognition of his efforts
and ability, and are certain that the
Retailers Commercial Union has PIN
ned it's faith to the right man. The
r. C. u. membership now numbers
over $50 retail concerns, and their
success during the coming seasons de-
ponds to great degree upon the man
agement of the office which Mr.. Stew
art will open in New York City.

at the compliments which have been
given on the manner in which these
dances have been managed, and the
reputation will be upheld throughout
the season in whatever form of enter
tainment the Company sponsors.
AS soon as the rifles arrive target
practice will commence. The C. o.
is looking up likely sites for range.
The failure of the electricity Mon

a big gas light.
The City Council has given the
Company permission to hold drill on
the pavement in the block between
the Journal Office and the Stewart

FARM ACCOUNTING

One-day farm accounting courses
are now being given in Is states
through the cooperation of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
and the state agricultural colleges in
farm management extension work.
The primary object of these courses
is to interest the farmer in farm book
keeping as an essential to efficient
farm management While the assist
ance which the courses give in calcu-
lating a farmers income tax is of
great value, it is necessarily second
airy.
This is the first year in which this
method of introducing farm account
ing has been tried on such a large
scale. The schools are carried on IN
cooperation with the county agents.
The. one-day sessions are occupied
with calculations made by the farm.
ers themselves under the supervision
of the instructor and discussions OF
such topics as the relative value OF
various crops, the size of crop yields,
the quality and quantity of live stock
for a farm of given size, the size of
the farm business as whole, and
the farm layout, and the use of labor
all factors vitality affecting farm
efficiency.

City Election of
Special Interest
This Year

As the time limit for filing nomina-
ton papers approaches there appears
to be more than the usual activity
in city politics. All papers must be
filed not earlier than Mar. % nor lat
er than the 18th, for the election of
April 9th.
At the time of writing this article,
Wednesday afternoon, the Fourth and
Third Wards are the only precincts
in which there is any contest among
candidates, but there are indications
that before the Journal reaches its
readers that there may be one or two
if not several others.
Geo. Ed. Pratt's candidacy for re-
election as supervisor in the Fourth
Ward has been approved by the re-
quired number of signers and he has
no opposition. The Aldermanic race,
however, is more complicated The
papers for Wellesley Vannatta we've
first out and quickly signed w. H.
Slater's candidacy was announced
yesterday, and it is rumored that the
present incumbent, F. Armbruster,
who was elected by the Council to
serve the unexpired term of Walter
Sutherland, resigned, will be ont for
the place again this Spring. The
South Fork section of the Fourth
Ward is making the proposition of
new bridge big point in the eject
ion, They have a strong support in
their contention that the South Fork
bridge is inadequate and that larg-
er and stronger structure, with better
Accommodations for pedestrians should
be provided.
In the Third Ward O. H. Ostness
will be opposed for reelection by Nj.
M. Walters. James Allen is the only
candidate for supervisor there.
Chas. Bartholomew, alderman, and
Tim Manion, supervisor, are the only
Second Ward candidates out so ia:
Mr.. Manion at first refused to cor
slider reelection, but he was soon
convinced of the unanimous wish of
the voters and decided to accept TIE
candidacy.
VIM. Mccormick, alderman, is the
only First Ward candidate out.
Mayor Smiths nomination papers
have been signed up, with no other
candidate announced or even rlTored.
So far, the offices of City rreasur-
er and City Assessor go a'begg'n' for
candidates. Mr.. Glass cannot iun
for reelection, according to the law,
and Mr.. Chinnosk, Jr., has made no
announcement
The license question may develop
considerable eleventh hour interest,
although it has not stirred even pas
sing comment so far. The vote is to
decide whether beverages containing
2% per cent alcohol, Tor whateve"
per centage the government may de-
cided to grant, if any, may be sold
in River Falls under the old saloon
license system.
1t is also very probable thai the
Hospital project may be introduced
into the election this Spring. Wheth-
er or not it will come before the vote
of the people at this time will be de-
cided at a joint meeting of the City
Council and the town boards Of the
towns of River Falls, Clifton, Troy
and Kinnickinnic, to be held tomorrow
friday evening.

Our aviation committee presented
its report to the House last week and
apart from sensational newspaper ac-
counts of a clash between two mem
bers on the Floor one of whom was
said to be the writer, no startling de-
velopments ocurred. Needless to say
the press account was like Bill Nye's
estimate of his own obituary notice
written prior to his death-slightly
overdrawn. Many letters are con-
stantly received from men formerly
in the trenches without aircraft pro-
lection and from the airmen them
selves all of which endorse criticism
offered by the committee against the
War Departments miserable failure
in aircraft production during the war.

its burglaries. Twelve masked men

NEW YORK. Aug. 2s-New vori
city faces a housing situation thi'
fall no less acute than that which
last spring caused an army Of ten
ants to march on Albany demanding
new rent laws,
! Last spring the immediate problem
which faced legislators was passage
OF measures which would protect
tenants. in a city where every apart
ment was at n premium. from grasp
ing landlords. Next fall the problem
which Is expected to engage attention
of state law makers is the encourage
ment OF apartment house building.
The housing shortage this summer
has been the cause for sundry hear
ings by state and municipal bodies.
At each vas heard the cry I'VE must
have more apartments" But so far
there is little prospect that this de-
mand will be met.
Experts have given II as their
opinion that next fall. instead OF hav-
ing more flats. New York's meager
supply will be depleted by several
hundred. The reason, they said, was
that demand for office space. 'espe-
cially on Manhattan. had caused
many property owners 10 rare old
apartments for construction OF COM
mercial establishments which they
could rent at higher prices. Some
experts asserted that rem laws passed
last spring. designed to check the
meteorie rise OF rents. had tended to
check building Of apartment houses.
The building trend was we'll Illus
trated last month when plans for
new structures filed In Manhattan
showed to what little extent property
wner were going toward filling the
need for 10000 additional apart
ments. Construction Of only n

ers. ITO garages and three iott struc-
